A few days ago a terrible forest fire was raging junt west of the mill of the Camp Mann fftCtOrtTlJ? ( 'ompany, in West Marion. The entire force of workmen from the big planing mill fought for hours to ?a?ve null property. The following day some small boys from the mill village went out into the burned area "to nee what they could see." A few hundred yards from the mill they dis covered a wild turkey hen, roasted upon her nest. Upon moving her* dead body the little boys found a nest of young turkeys, saved from the fiery blasts by the <jend body of the brave mother. The little orphans were gathered up by the boys and taken home, where the story was told. Mother love? Here is the best ex ample of it that we have noted In a long, long time. It Is a story worth remembering,^? Mai ion Stnr.y. Henrys Interpreted "Don't rush this can!" "Chicken here's your cou]>e!>' "I'd run faster, but there's a crank in front of mo." "Four wheels ?

The following query ha* been put to us: "I am a young wall, holding a clerk'# job which pays me fairly well. I have a good education. Ikit I have no special skill for any sort of work, I have no money to invest "there, hut 1 am thinking of going to Florida to get a job, a*?I have read so much about tho opportunities for money making there. What would you ad vice me to do ?" No attempt to give advice will be made here,1 but some information which has come to us from a trust worthy source in Florida will be passed on to this young man. Undoubtedly much money ia being made in Florida in real estate, but this young man, having no money, is not interested in that now. There is derrtand for labor and skilled labor in Florida, according to our Information, but young men with out means who cannot or will not do that are pouring into the state by the thousands. The majority of them are not making a living, declares our in formant, although some are making money. There is very little work for those who wish to work in clerical positions and, on the average, the sal ary is insufficient to meet living expense*. In fact, we are told that some young men of education capable of doing work which would win them a good living elsewhere, are. actually going hungry. The cost of living is a most im portant factor to be considered by this young man in reaching his de cision. The charge for laundry is l-represented to us as excessive. Room rent is high in proportion to salaries paid and there is strong prospect that, with the ever-increasing influx into, Florida, rentals ? will ? increase. Food is not cheap. hi short, the situation is that, while money is plentiful in Florida, it prob ably would be hard for a young man of such qualifications as our *jues tioner to earn a living. , | The foregoing information is based] on conditions on the west coast of j Florida, but reports from the east j coast are declared to be similar. Of course if this young man has been offered a definite position which he is assured will pay him a good margin over living expenses and, if he is competent for it, the case is al tered. If, on the other hand, he is think in* of going to Florida to prospect tor a job, a* miners eift sand in uttircfo of gold, he iH taking no traall chance of giving up u good job at home for one that may or may not exist in the Laid of Flower*. If ho. i s | going to do that,- ho will be wl?e to keep enough money for railroad faro home against the possibility that ii I might be needed.? The Piedmont. Death of Arooa Mungo In the death last Thursday of Amo* Mungo, at hi* home in Flat Cri'ik township, the county loses one of its mo?t unique citizens and th?; : largest landowner in the county. Ml. j Mungo's educational advantages had j been meagre, but he was an indefati gable worker and a good organiser, j He had the faculty of getting the re spect and confidence of his tenants and wage hands to such an extent that the amount of effective work which he was able to secure measured far above that obtained by the aver- 1 age farmer. He 'added to his holdings from time to time until he was the ! owner of hundreds of acres of valu- j able farm and timber lands in Lan- ; caster counties. /Mr. Mungo was in his 7,'ird year and is survived by his wife, who was Miss Sallie Hilton and a large family of grown sons and daughters. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at il o'clock in Flat Creek Baptist church, by the Rev. Thorny Falle, assisted by Rev, 1 George Smith of Kershaw and Rev. i Barnes . Caston. The funeral was at i tended by a large gathering of friends land family connection from all. over the eastern section of the county, in cluding many of his colored tenants ' and employes. Among those who at tended from Lancaster were Messrs. W. T. Gregory, Toy Gregory, Jos W. Knight, John McManus, O. R. Bell, Sheriff Hunter, Policeman Joe tJyrd. ? Lancaster News.

Business in Rood. Business is good. Tell that to your inquiring friends. The value of crops will be ten thousand million dol lars. Farmers are more cheerful, prices good. Commercial business in cities is improving steadily. Extraordinary showings will be made for August by many departmetit stores and other big institutions. Pity Poor New York. The state of New York pities itself because it pays $500,000,000 income tax, almost a third of the entire na tional tax. New Yorkers shouldn't forget that il they pay $500,000,000 it is because forty-seven other States send all their wealth to New York banks, spend millions in New York shops and hotels, and allow New York's high fi nance to tap -with its corporations and its interlocking ownerships sources' of wealth all over the United States. Since New York gets the income, it should be content to pay the tax. "President Coolidge will le^ve the toal situation .for the present to Congress and hopes there will be no profiteering in the meantime." So ? ends the dispatch. That reminds vbg TAOA OOOOO That is a kirgc* hope, for "in the meantime" many deealers have raised the price fifty cents a ton. With the public, panic-stricken, rushirig to buy, that means comfortable profiteering. Mrs. Elsie Eaton Newton, Ohio lady, found herself facing the empti ness of life, with her two daughters married. Many ladies would have sat down to have a good cry.

There is no life emptiness, except in the brain. Keep that busy and life is all right, even if your daughters are married and your husband dead. The next generation will read about "tin* navy patrolling the route" to save the fliers if necessary, and that will seom as strange as to send an automobile with <a carrier pigeon in case it should fall down. Mr. Konkle in New York, to. prove gratitude for the recovery of his son, supposed to be hopelessly ill, will build a 65-story building, partly re ligious, partly commercial, made up of a church and a hotel, with 4,500 bedrooms. Ten per cent of profits -Will go to missionary work, looked aiter by the son. The father will look after the profits. The dining rom will hold 2,000 in the tallest building, thus far, in the United States. This religious building contrasts interestingly with the old sinful Tow er of Babel, which probably was about one-half the proposed height of this 65-story hotel. ? The great Bernard Shaw, in a mood of unusual but accurate humility, says the world a thousand years hence will know nothing about him except that the gre&t French sculptor Rodin, once made a bust of Shaw, bio' graphical dictionaries will contain this: "Shaw, Bernard; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise uuknown." Even that's an overstatement, for in a thousand years Rodin won't be remembered any more than Shaw. Rodin in art, 1,000 years from now will foe as unimportant as Kipling in literature or Shaw 'lu philosophy. Thinking is Hard. After the war broke out, the Czar put Russia on a cold water basis, .stopping the sale of vodka absolute ly. This column then suggested that absence of whiskey would mean njore cold thinking by Russians, and that one result of such thinking would h* the absence of the Czar. That proph ecy was fulfilled. Now Bolshevism restores vodka to its old alcoholic power ? about forty per cent. Men to whom thinking is new dis like the unpleasant sensation and ef fort. And governments that want to rule I in peace find tiheir work easier when the crowd ruled is well supplied with whiskey.
