SUCKERS.
8partanburs Free Lance.
This get-rich-quick craze, this
something for nothing lure, this
snatching at a fortune in a moment
while the great army of
toilers and workers keep on the
well beaten path, is the quicksand
that ensnares the feet of
fViD oxrnvnncn A
vnv u<viug^ muciivaii, man ui
woman, more than anything else.
P. T. Barnum knew it from the
practical side, just like the stu- ,
dent of botany knew it in Dotheboys
Hall when after spelling ,
the word he was sent to weed the
garden. Barnum said the Amer- j
ican people tumbled to the hum- ,
bug, and he made millions pan- j
dering to their weakness. Only a j
few days ago the postoffice de- ]
partment raided a den of crooks ,
in New York city, who were 1
operating through the mails a ;
colossal swindle, promoting bogus
stock schemes, selling wire- less
telegraph stock and fake oil ]
wells in the west. By means of |
flaring posters and exaggerative
circulars, as well as the personal ,
letter route, they caught the j
interest of the suckers, and then ,
fleeced the suckers coming and |
going. Since the promoters of '
the fraud have been arrested,
letters have been flooding in to ,
them, in each of which is a nice
sum of money from small wage
earners throughout the United ;
States. In one day $20,000 was 1
received, which the postoffice
inspectors have held up.
The offices of the swindling
concern have been besieged by
yyiuvyyo wiui icaia in iiieir eyes,
looking for the money they invested,
which means their all.
And there are thousands of
others throughout the country
who can't make the trip to New
York to beg for their sums, and ;
all have learned by experience ,
that the end of the get-rich-quick
scheme is debt and destitution.
It is astonishing that the wageearner
who honestly and energetically
toils for his wages and
with thrift and prudence lays
aside a little sum regularly would
embark in such enterprises. And
yet the postoffice officials say that
during the past five years the
American people have contributed
one hundred million of hardearned
dollars to such swindles.
And the lesson is yet to be
learned. The successful business
man you know, the honest, prudent,
conservative man of affairs,
merely shrugs his shoulders when
the letters or representatives of
get-rich-quick schemes come his
way. He knows that no man
who has a money-making legitimate
scheme is going to lasso him
in his office or drag him from his
plow-handles to share in its
profits and success. And yet
people right in this section who
can ill afford it will send away
to these swindling concerns
noaraea money, sums that swell l
the coffers of these buccaneers
and plunderers.
The home enterprise and instir
tution is the place for your investments.
True, your money
will not multiply and increase to
the dimensions of a Jonah's
gourd vine in a local bank or
building and loan association; but
the investment is safe beyond
the shadow of doubt and you get
a reasonable return on your investment
and your money is
yours whenever you want it.
With the get-rich-quick scheme
your money belongs to the other
fellow just as soon as it is 6ent
by check or money order, and
you never see it again. Some of
these fake concerns do not even
have offices, but their sole semblance
of maintaning a place of
business is some lock box to a
postoffice in a large city. And
yet the innocent, deluded person,
hundreds or thousands of miles
away, fascinated by the glamour
and glitter of the circular letter,
literature and fldvertininor will
send these sharks real money?it
comes so easy that it's almost a
shame to take it.

Fertilizer From Air.
That the project of manufacturing
fertilizer from air by
electro-chemical processes is commercially
feasible is the report
made by Mr. W. S. Lee, vice
president and general manager
of the Southern Power company,
upon his return from Europe,
where he has been engaged for
some time in the investigation
of the plants operated for this
purpose in Norway, Sweeden,
Austria and France. Mr. Lee
tells the Charlotte Observer that
experiments have proved that
fertilizers made in this way are
equal to those found in nature.
Some idea of the extent of the
industry is afforded in the statement
that in Norway a 40,000horse
power plant devoted to the
manufacture of fertilizers by the
hydro-electric process is now in
operation and that two similar
plants, one of 15,000-horse power
and one of 120,000-horse power,
are in course of construction.
These plants, it is estimated, will L.
have an output of one ton per ?
horse power per year. ii
The Southern Power company, f]
so The Observer states, expects _
to erect immediately a factory of ?
4,000-horse power at Great Falls,
S. C., to be used for experimental w
and perfecting purposes, the com- jj
pany owning two secret electro- ^
chemical processes, by means of b<
which it is hoped that the nitro- yt
gen may be abstracted from the >?
atmosphere and saved. The jjj.
undertaking will be followed with
general interest, Mr. Lee's stand- w]
ing in his profession being such ug
as to silence those who would dismiss
the project as visionary. yc
The New South Carolina. v
Barnwell People. 11
The map of the Palmetto State
has had many changes made in
it in the last two score years and _
there are more to come, it seems.
The new county sentiment is 2
becoming an epidemic, whether Q
it will be helpful or not, and m
there is an unrest and dissatis- W
faction in many counties that ft
may lead to the voting of sections 3
of them into adjacent counties. Q
To the south there is the move- j
ment to create the new county of Q
Jasper out of portions of Beau- 2
fort and Hampton. Q
Broxton township may secede jk
from Colleton and cast its future W
fortunes with Hampton. K
The first steps have been taken *
for an election that may take Q
from Colleton a part of Warren c
township and add its territory u
to Bamberg county.
Allendale and the Southside Q
have new county ambitions.
The advocates of North Augus- #
ta as a county seat are getting A
busy preparing for another effort ?
to accomplish their purpose. Q
The Plum Branch section of j
Edgefield county wishes for an- Q
nexation to Greenwood, and there | *
are similar plans more distant l Q
and less interesting. +
