' " ' ? 1 V At the opening of the .court' of general sessions in Sumter this week Judge Wilson in his charge to the grand jury vaid that there were en tirely too many violations of the pro hibition law in that county* In their present ment the grand jury requested that the judge impose sentences in stead of fines in all eases of this character. Judge Wilson replied that he wanted to do everything in his power to break up the liquor traffic but that it would not be right for a judge to set an inflexible rule of chain gang sentences for every con viction. There are certain cases, he said, where it would seem to be bet ter to impose a fine or a suspended sentence because of the youth of the defendant or for some other good reason. In the court held in Camden this week C. V. (.? a!lo\va\', said to be an o!d offender, who operates a store east of Camden on the Hish opville road, entered a plea of guilty to violating the prohibition law and was given a sentence of nine month on tiie chain gar.g-? <ix| to be sus pen led during behavior.

The Farmer'* Share The agricultural department shows that in 1024 the farmer a averaged a profit of 21 cents a bushel on wheat and 2K cents a bushel on corn. Many lost money on every bushel, others made more than the average. ' Farmers that rained potatoes on the average actually lost money, and would have been better off if they hadn't planted a potato. A good wheat speculator, knowing that the prosperous class wanted La Follette badly beaten, and Was sure to put up the price of wheat, could easily buy a million bushels of wheat early in the campaign and sell it | at a profit of one million doilars. It was a lucky farmer that could raise five thousand bushels of wheat and sell it at a profit of one thou sand dollars. CoAlicige on the Radio No iiihji can guess what power to speak well over the radio may mean in years to come. The other night bridge parties laid down their cards, women on farms] stopped tfle late cleaning up of dishes, their husbands came in from even ing chores, tens of millions listened to the president's clear, incisive mat ter of fact voice, discussing in plain fashion the importance of national economies and laying ?down, . to the satisfaction of overy hearer, the sim ple truth that the people's money be longs to the people. ? It was an innovation when Wood row Wilson, so perfectly dressed, drove to the Capitol and talked di rect to senators, representatives, the supreme court and others. "Wonderful audience," the world said. But it was no audience at alt com pared to ?he vast multitude that heardt President Coolidge talk, direct to thcA people of the United States. The 21-Ounce Dress x Proof that the complete costume of a modern woman, including dress, stockings, shoes and underwear, may weigh as little as 21 ounces causes "the virtuous to grieve. Hut. even as woman in her changing moods cuts ! off her dress at top and bottom, there i may be comfort. The low-necked dress j is partially justified by this fact, ! to which your doctor will testify: Cancer attacks women more often : than men, and cancer of the breast, i dreadfully frequent in civilized coun j tries, is quite unknown among fe male savages that wear no clothing above the waist. Sunshine seems to I keep cancer away. j Amundsen is back from "almost ; to the Pole," and if he lives and I can raise the money he will start again. His ambition is to be the [only man that ever stood ''on both ! tops of the earth." In Knglish coal mines, mechanical ! cutters and carriers of coal are driv j ing out men by the thousands.. "The truth shall set you free," ' says the .Bible. Science is the truth, ? and you realize what science has dope ! to set humans free when you look, I ^t the pictures of women that used > to work in English coal mines, crawl-' ing on their hands and knees through the narrow passages, an iron chain ' around their nrck>. pacing under 1 their bodies and fastened to a small coal ca r.
