Entered at ?the postoAce at Fort Mill, 'R C? as mail matter of the.second class., Tuesday, January n, vol r _ > * * There is one way by which a luiainaa* mana* neodil is imnrnvprt v ? and that is )>y a policy of consistent newspaper advertising. Live bank men believe in advertising," for they know it pays. Their feeling therefore is that when a merchant who is a good advertiser applies for a loan that a reasonable arifount of goods, bought by him on credit, is likely to be turned over quickly ^wd promptly paid for on accoum of li is method of keeping his goods constantly before the public. The bunker would have- confidence that the goods would be disposed of aud turned into cash before they got out of date or shopworn. Discriminating buyers of every class know that they can get fresh goods from the store that advertises. The merchant, who advertises seldom has shopworn goods. And in that way advertising helps the- merchant's credit not only with the banks but with his customers. And one is just ins important as the other. One of Pennsylvania's new senators is a man named Crow, and that is about all anybody wenw to know about him. \ The manager of the New York (Hants has paid $75,000 for an unusually promising young player of the San Francisco baseball club, tiasebull, which is merely ' a sport for most of us, is a cureer for a chosen few. and a misrhtv P lucrative one. But there is money in baseball only for the topnotchers. Only those who can play the game a great deal better than the rank and file get * big salaries. And this is true of any other business or profession. The man who excels is the. man who goes to the top, whether it is basehall. or the law, or merchandis ing, or manufacturing, or bartering, or' shot-making. There are always more big jobs to be filled than there are men capable of N filling them, but the mediocre fel. Iowr are always a drug on the maVket at any price.

There is more talk this year of economy in aiul around the halls of the General Assembly .than there has been for years, but of course it remains to be seen whether the talk will amount to anything more than talk. The people of the lower section of the State especially were ha pi hit by the ravages of the boll weevil last year and from that section many stories are heard of rhiued* farm "C* am) bankrupt business men. One member of* the house of representatives, a professional man. from a county south of Columbia was tell In p a few 'days apo of his 1 experience difrinp 1921 as one similar to that of many people in his section. "When 1 was here last year," he said. "I bad $10.000 in bank. Shortly after the Lepislature at)jouriied 1 invested it in a drug store in my town. A few "days apo we tonk'sto^k and found that the inventory av.i united to $2,000. Most of our business was done on credit and we cannot collect a dollar, because those who owe us have nothing with which to pay. 1 am lookinp for a location in the upper section of the State." For the first time in .eight Si % t t % * 1 . fill . . years i oie ii. crease lasi iiiurs-| day was a visit qr to the house of representatives. During his stu>* on the floor he stood hehiml the rail and apparei^y watched with interest the proceedings. At the tune the house and senate were in joint session balloting for an associate justice. The session was being presided over by Lieutenant Governor Harvey, who in an! nouiicing the result of one of the 'bullots. necame slightly contused iu stating the number of votes necessary to a choice, whereupon Mr. Bl ease was heard to remark, i ""If he eaift count any better t (ban that, 1 inn not surprised - that his bank in Charleston is in t bud shape."* One of the former 1 governor's friends facetiously remarked that he had come to the ' house to look over the membership so that he cdtrid tell the peo pie next summer who should be - left at home. t f Friends of Hon. Iv. \V. Parsley,, ? York county member of the house, are" urging him to become - a candidate for superintendent of ? the State penitentiary at the next ? session of the Legislature, lhings , have not been going so well at . the penitentiary lor the last year i or two and the necessity for a ? change in ihe head of the institu tion is said to be becoming apparent among rtitinbera ot both 1 the hoinft' ami senate. "One thing i i?! ceriain," said Mr. Purslcy, "if i I should be elected superintende ent of the penitentiary there p Would be more work done down there and there would be tin end f of the loafing and gambling the - prisoners are said to be indulg-? ing in." i b The moving picture exhibitors t? of the State are up in arms against the bill introduced in the t; house to tax them $5 on every s thousand feet of reel they put on *|the screen. The exhibitors in u s number of small towns in the 1 State say it. will put them out of t business, that they cannot stand the ta>^ arid that they will close their doors the day the proposed law is put into effect. Meanwhile, e however, the bill has been reel ported favorably by the* jndici. ary committee. to|which hy the i way. it should never have been referred, because it is a revenue f measure and under the rules of - the house should have gone to the b ways and means committee." Why there should he en in the house of representatives at every l session of the General^ Assembly jwho seem to delight in opposing (even small,things, much less the (larger ones, intended to advance the interests of Winthrop college is harJl to understand.

I One reads with surprise this editorial from the Fort Mill Times, one of the most intelligent and ' informed of South Carolina's weekly newspapers: "All this taljc one bears coming. out of Columbia about new sources of revenue to relieve the taxation on property is a smoke screen intended to deceive the unwary. The purpose behind the movement is to collect more mon-, ey so that the departments and institutions of the State may have more to spend." The "talk about new sources of revenue to relieve the taxation on property" has hot come out of Columbia. Sepator Marion, the chairman of the committee whose report on this subject lust year aroused general interfst, is from ( liester, tiot Columbia. The joint legislative cofnmittee 01 economy is uot composed of Columbians stud its recommendations certainly are Hot over-generous to institutions" located in Columbia, such as the State hos' pital, the university ami the State fair. TMtyor Fort Mill Times:*4 Have'just read editorial comment in The State relative to your assertion concerning disguised activities of State institutions and departments. Any one livihg and doing business in sight of the State houfte as long as I have could m# help but know that the print ij ill function of some of our tib'tn- servants is to parade their work before the members of 1he* Legislature. Otherwise, why this health institute the week of the opening of the Legislature. crowding real news matter out of 4he papers with its publicity dope? I am glad to know of at leant one paper in the Slate able to see through a smoke screen. Boyden Nims. Columbia, JTan. 10. (J. 8. OowRMMl Warns Farmers .About DAnms Paused by Bats.
