SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY MORNING, APK1L 21, 1021 VOL. 27. NO. 82 ^ ? I*- W JOHN !>., Jr., GIVES ADVICE. k, K v^ockefeUer Tells Members of His Bible Class How to Pick a Wife. f It is risky for a man to marry a r woman of a different nationality or of a different religion, according to . John D. Rockefeller, Jr. No man, he ^ said, should let his heart alone guide a' him when he decides to choose a wife, but he should also be guided ^ . by his head. These sentiments were R' expressed SundRv mnmlne hv Mr. I Rockefeller before the Young Men's Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, at 4 West Forty-sixth street, New York, of which he is honorary president. The Sunday school lesson was on the life of Sampson, and Mr. Rockefeller blamed Samson's marriage with a woman of the Philistines to his failure in life. "We might well pause here to discuss the importance to any man of the selection of his wife." said Mr. Rockefeller. Regarding the failure of mahy men to exercise enough care in the selection of their wives, he said: "We may well assume that is the, reason why the divorce courts of the land are so shamefully full." m. "There are few things so important as the selection of a wife," continued Mr. Rockefeller. "How many of us have seen th8 lives of our J; friends wrecked because th.y have 5^. x. ^elected the right woman. TOt is a pretty dangerous thing in Ml rtcting your wife to choose one from a foreign nation, though there are cases where it has not proved a ^ failure. It is a risky thing too, to ^ yoke oneself for life with a woman Zjp of another religion. Once In a while ? this goes all right, but often it does ^ not. Ij. "It seems to me that in the selection of a life partner the heart and If* head should be used. J am saying .y v?i?i ?il/ AAtO.lI AO 1UU113U W I1U lt'is HIS Ik heart run away with his head in selecting a wife. A man should sit down agd prayerfully consider how that woman and he will agree. ^ "We can but look with scorn upon any choice of a wife for anything but gf' happiness and love? There is nothing W" more disastrous than a marriage for money or social position. It seems to me the more points of interest begr^ tween husband and wife the surer W" there will be happiness." Rowland's Interest in State Debate? K Debaters Deserve Praise. ^ From thg. Rowland Hi Echoes. ^ The r.nnual state debates were held w* Friday night, April 1, 1921. There were two hundred and twenty four towns to enter. These towns were k grouped in triangles. Rowland was grouped with Maxton and Fairmont. jg Maxton's negative team debated at W Rowland. Rowland's negative at ^ Fairmont and Fairmont's negative at 5*9 Maxton. The query for debate was: * "Resolved, That the Policy of Collec9 tlve Bargaining through Trade Unions Should Prevail in American InB dustrles." The debaters for Rowland were Eva Dickinson, Margaret RobA Sbsorf, affirmative; LeVerne Adams, S Traham McKinnon, negative- Both B of Rowland's teams were defeated, hut the judges said it was close. The debaters delivered splendid debates and they are worthy of representing the school. Immediately after the debate a reoeptlon was given in honor of the debaters at which sandwiches and A punch were served. The Maxton debaters left about eleven o'clock, afA ter expressing that they enjoyed the whole tinve of their stay immensely. HIGHWAY THROUGH DILLON. If present plans do not miscarry F*"" it is likely that Dillon will be on a W highway connecting the north and |PRr south by the time the tourist season \ comes again. The plan is to parallel flw- the Pennsylvania railroad from New 1^" York to Washington, the R. F. & P. flfcr from Washington to Richmond and the A. C. L. from Richmond to Flor Mr Ida. The plan is not of recent origin. Other states hav? been working on It for some months and it is undergo? stood that every state and county through which the proposed highJL? way runs hafc *made arrangements to HE: do its part- Very little work will have to be done on the roads from Washington and beyond. A hard surface road parallels the Pennsylvania from New York to Washington, *nd the most of the work will have to be done south of Washington. Virginia says she will take care of her part of it. HP North Carolina has voted to build her part of the road, and South CarHr olina has made arrangements with . the several counties through which flP the road passes to do their part. a Chairman McLaurin of the County Board has been at work quietly on "at Dillon's part of the proposed hlghiHk way. Dillon was asked to build seven ljt\. miles of road to connect with the aHk highway at the North Carolina line, Rh and Mr. McLaurin has made comLHk {%*te arrangements for the construcl?"

The school of Rowland has great, u expectations of a gymnasium, (and aj { moving picture, too, perhaps) in the ; / near future. The school is indebted to ; r the J. R. C. Council of Rowland High 1 School for the suggestion of this and i the carrying out of the suggestion.) The moving picture can be used for educational purposes and also may be , used to help pay for the gymnasium. The gymnasium itself will be a great benefit to the school and to the health of the students. It will come in especially well in the winter when the weather is bad and none of the pupils want to play out of doors. il They can then go into the gymnasium e and get all the exercise they want is and need. So we will be healthier 1. at the end of the year than at the is beginning. r o ?

To most people e the situation looks hard and some individuals perhaps entertain a feel^ mg that the banks have not been generous with them. Except for the e banks of the country the present crop would have sold for less than 0 6 cents a pound, and if the situation is finally worked out as it will be, the country ia going to have the banks to thank for it. Probably nev er In the history 01 any country have p banks carried such a load as southn err. banks have carried this year and never before have banks been more genuinely generous. There are those s who without knowing or caring what 8 they say, assert the banks are doing g it because they have to. That ia act >. true. With very few exceptions the a banks are able to take case of themK selves, and if they were less generous, q tkey would be less mindful of the welfare of the country as a wholn.
