Prize fairy story of the ycaf, “Women’s skirts are to be longer." " "* TT' '• _ The inventor of tiiat new mile-a- ininute speed boat, which has a fish tail propeller, seemingly has wiggled his way to fame. 1 •. « “In the words of Linclon,” said a local coal dealer during tha recent warm fall weeks, “you can’t fuel all the people all the time.” is Now that the football season ended and several million husky young men will not be so busy—why, we'll start a basketball season. Both Republican and Democratic Drys threaten bolts next year if their respective conventions do not behave. What is this—the iron age? Placing the tax ahead of flood re lief by Congress is an indication that some high hopes for effective Missis sippi protection are going to be punc tured. The author, Rupert Hughes, is still “digging up the dirt”. on George Washington—which no doubt is ex actly what he would actually be doing rf George were alive. % All reports to the contrary, there are mighty flew fatherr whtTTfWe their daughters away at the wedding ?ere mony.

Exactly what the plan i* seems un certain. But other things are certain, including these. Until they live to gether, they cannot possibly know whtther they are suited to each other ♦ ^ m or not. Companionate marriage is us old as the humap race and as bid as the monkty race. All the monkeys live in companionate marriage, free to quit at any time, and they like it. > It took human beings thousands of centuries to establish marriage—a de vice by which Providence and woman, co-operating, are gradually teaching men to txi decent. It’s a slow process, but that is no reason for getting dis couraged and going back to old Tnon- key days and ways. Fire Does Slight Damage. Slight damage to ' the stock and building of C. N. Burekhalter’s drug store, adjacent to the Hotel Diamond, was caused by fira and water Wed nesday night of last week. Tty; alarm was given shortly before 11 o’clock and ear]£ r arrivals fought the blaze with the hotel’s line of hose from an upstairs window, having the fire prac tically under control when the volun teer fire department arrived. The blaze originated in the loft of the building and is said to have baen caused by deflective wiring. It is un derstood that Dr. Burckhalter had no insurance. ,< ' V' Cotton Ginning Report. There were 13,293 bales of cotton ginned in Barnwell County prior to November 14th, as compared with 28,092 bales ginntti to the same date in 1926, according to a report of the Department of Commerce. It is thought that these figures represent practically the entire crop for the | county, as last year the prodeff ♦ion was about 29,560 bales, which left only about 1,500 to be ginned rfter We are not particularly anxious ttyU any of our good aviators at tempt a round trip flight to Europe— but we do wish some ofthe many b»ans would try a return flight. When Aiken won from the Barnwel High School football team by the •core of 6 to 0, the esteemed Aiken Standard termed it a “decisive de feat.” Last week the AlUwidale High School team took tha^ Aikenite* into camp by the same score and we note that The Standard deleted the wore “decisive" from its account of the game. What we want to know is "Wh«fr is a decisive defeat not a dc cisive defeat ?” Kowhanded. r-V- There is a timely hint to Christr.ias shoppers in the statement by Colonel Leonard P.

Most planners of Christmas cheer can as well do their gift buying now as later, when the rush will be venient. Why not be forehanded? mcon- Miraeles. L |e*~ The Rev. Dr. Straton, of New York, says we might now have miracles as wonderful as those of the olden times. -He has seen a woman “virtually dead already’’ brought back to life by prayer. - Modern miracles of the scientific kind are more wonderful than old miracles. Men go in submarines under the water and in flying machines above it, instead of walking on it. They prevent disease by common sense and cure it with inoculation, saving millions of lives instead of resurrecting a few. They talk and send* music through the air without wires. The new miracles are at least as spectacular as the old, and much more useful. Vaccination is woith more than all the miraculous cures of all the religions. < Novemlxr 44th.
