The coming General Assembly will select a judge for the Sixth Circuit. The first and controlling considera tion, of course, should be fitness for this most important position. There never was a time when a strong ju diciary was more necessary than the present. The incessant bickerings be tween capital and labor, with result ing strikes and lockouts; the deep mouthed mutterings of the masses against social injustices; the crime wave that is sweeping over the coun try, induce in the thoughtful mind a doubt of the persistence of our sys tem of law, and a strong, honest ju diciary is the best hope for a return of large numbers of our people to sanity and reverence. More depends on the selection of judges from time to time than the average person real izes. Fairfield county has the type of man the state needs. Learned in the law, theoretically and practically, of broad and varied culture, conservative but not reactionary, progressive but not radical, Hon. G. W. Ragsdale would adorn the Bench that once knew Harper, Hudson, Johnson and the others of that great coterie who made the South Carolina decisions authori ty wherever English common law was known. Fitness should determine the man, and Mr. Ragsdale is fit. Fairfield has not had a judge since the Civil War. Judge Buchanan was not elected from this circuit. Mr. Ragsdale has been unanimously en dor~ed by the Winnsboro bar, which in itself is a tribute to his worthiness and fitness for this high position. The county as a whole will ratify this en dorsement, we are sure. Fairfield has the man; and the place, in the circum stances, should go to her. FOR SALE-200 cords of 4-ft. wood.

The failure to raise $25,000 to in sure the betterment and continuance of the State Fair in Columbia is a very sad commentary on the brains andl progressiveness of the business people of Columbia. It makes us rather sympathetic with the sugges tion of a prorminent business man that there ought to be a few funerals in the community. It indicates that not a few of the business men of Co lumbia, though surprisingly sensitive in the pocket-nerve, are dead from the neck up. It denotes that, instead of endeavoring to erect fair buildings and such like symbols of alertness, we ought to get together and build a handsome morgue on the principal thoroughfare and make that the vis ible sign and symbol of our civic death. We have been told that there are merchants in Columbia who decline to contribute their quota because they do not get what they deem to be adequate returns from the fair in the way of trade. There is no place, or there should be no place, in Colum bia, for merchants whose only inter est in the community is bounded by the blood they can suck out of it. If they have not the pride in the city that impels them to go down in their pockets and do something, sacrifice something, in a disinterested commun ity spirit they are not worthy to be citizens; they are parasites on the civic body, and the sooner they are known and exposed the better off we shall be for the future. These are the sort of men who can hold up a dime close to the pupils of their eyes and shut out the whole world. They are pikers in the worst sense of the word. We have been told, also, that there has been some suppression of the unpleasant news of Columbia's failure to come across. in this matter because of the unsavory publicity it would give the city. ThatI is the policy of the faint hearts. What we require is a show-down. The sum of $25,000, asked of Colum bia to retain so valuable an asset as the State Fair, for which Columbia has never paid anything, and out of* which Columbia's merchants, hotel proprietors, boarding house keepers, utilities and other business enterpris es have made all the profit that is to be made or has been made for many years is a small town proposition.

The manager of the local ball club has arranged games with the Elks' team of Columbia for Thursday andl Friday of this week. Chester was to have played here for three (lays but for some reason they could not come. The Elks have a good ball club and they are coming up prepared to give the locals a battle. The Elks team won the championship of the City League in Columbia this year. Whitmire will be here for the first three days of next week. They have one of the strongest teams in the state, having won 27 games out of 33 played so far this season. The same old "gang" will be out there playing for Winnsboro, so that is "nuff sed." All we have to say is, Whitmire will have to "strut, their stuff" to beat the locals. Everybody who possibly can, be sure and come out to see these games as the expense of getting these teams here is very heavy. All games will be played at 5:15 on the College campus.. PLAY AT LEBANON. The play, "Patty Makes Things Hum," will be given by the young people of Lebanon on Tuesday even ing, August 15th, at 8:30. Admission 15 and 35 cents.

PAY CASH >out" GERMAN COLLAPSE AND A31ERICAN BUSINESS. Wellesley Hills, Mass., August 12, 1922.-The German question was dis cussedl today by Roger W. Babson, statistician, who has been entangling the international and financial situ ation. "Germany has failed to meet her obligation on the indemnity pay ments," said Mr. Babson, "and like any other concern is judged bank rupt. We face the same situation that we find when a business can not pay its debts. We either have a re organization and try to get it back on to its feet or we call in the ref eree and judge it bankrupt and sell its assets and put it out of business. "The world is now having a cred itors' meeting to decide what is to be done with Germany. Upto the present time France, the largest creditor, has been taking the pound of flesh. It is only within the past few days that she has offered any other ,proposition. Now, however, France sees that if she will let Ger many off that England will let France off. It is understood that a French ambassador is dealing with the Uni ted States Government at this time, in the hope that the republic may be released from some of the debts she owes to us. These later developments are favorable indeed and strongly suggest that a friendly re-organiza tion of German finance is possible. "If France on the other hand were to march an army to Berlin, and to collect the pound of flesh by force, it is quite possible that this might align Russia, Italy and even possibly England with Germany and bring a bout another war. This, of course, would be an undesirable situation from every point of view. Such ac tion would undoubtedly cause a pan ic in our stock market, and would seriously embarrass our big banks. It would upset business generally. We would not even experience the business boom that we had at the be ginning of the last European war. The new gases and chemical weap ons of warfare developed since 1918 can be made just as well in Europe as over here. "If, however, Germar y has a friend ly re-organization of her finance it would mean much and boom Ameri ~an business.

I certainly hope that this will be the outcome. "In the meantime", concluded, Mr. Babson, "we must remember one thing more, there is a distinct differ ence between Germany's governmental - finances and the finances of Ger man firms and corporations. The credit of Germany's government is almost nil because of the tons of paper marks which it is obligated to re deem. The banks are also in a rather uncertain position because their cash assets are of very uncertain value. The private firms of Germany, how ever, hold real property, factories, machinery land equipment and mer chandise. Most of them are in a sound condition because these things3 Iare of actual and permanent value. ~ The re-organization of Germany's finance would upset the German gov ernment's financial bureau and might call for considerable readjustment in Germany's banking circles. It need have little affect on the real credit4 of private firms." General business is maintaining its recent improvement in spite of un favorable sentiment created by coal and rail strikes. The index of the Babsonchart shows that business is but 9 percent below normal. No. change since last week.
