'1 he conference was caHed for the ' t
^ . avowed purpose of trying to find ]
a way of limiting land and naval ,
armaments. Nothing has been j j
dene as to land armaments?each
country is left free to maintain as
I large a standing army as it can
| support. An agreement was enjsT
tared into to scrap a few battle
ships. But battleships have been
made obsolete by the develop- j,
meat of aircraft. A battleship to- J
day is a liability rather than an ,
asset. The conference discussed 1
rules to govern future wars, but
any intelligent school boy knows
that it will be difficult if not impossible
to live sp to any rules if i
another war comes. When an in- i
dividual or a nation is fighting
for its life rules are discarded.
The conference was largely if not
wholly a failure and we^may as
well admit the fact. No one nation
was wholly to blame. There
is blame enough for all to share
in it. <
? Twenty-one million quarts of
liquor were seized by federal prohibition
agents in 1921, according
to a recent compilation. The same
authority says 40,000 people were ,
arrested for the unlawful making ,
or selling of liquor last year, and
mat 12 million dollars' worth of
property was seized because it
?.*s bemg used for unlawful sale
or manuraeture of liquor. Some
people will aay that these figures (
\ ? Miow that the prohibition law is
jjyN| "Slot being enforced. Others will
claim to the contrary. The truth
is tHat liquor is on the run. it
has been outlawed by statute, i
and while prohibition enforce
nient .is not-yet perfect it is making
progress.
A man who maizes his living
working at the carpenter's trade '
ordered Borne tools not long ago
from a - mail order house. He
thought he could save a few cents,
\ but when the tools came he fouud
thpt they were of inferior quality and'
that he had been stung. This ]
man made his living by building
houses for the people in the town
in which he lives. He will make
his living that way in the future.
But he will never build a house for '
the mail order man. He should
five his .trade to the home mer
chant who shows his appreciation
, of home prosperity by advertising
in the local paper.
<* - Twelve hundred miles of railSSroad
in the United States were
abandoned during 1921. This may
be a surprising statement, but it :
is a surprising statement, but it
not done long ago. The aban
uoueu inueage consist ea 01 snori
line roads in sparsely settled sections
of the country and having a
small amount of traffic. The
%. roads ewe abandoned because
they could not be made to. pay
expenses. They never had paid.
The fact is that many railroads '
in this country are economic mis
takes. , They ' cost too much to
build and they cost too much to
operate. The general improvement,
of Ahf public highways and 1
the development of automobiles
and motor trucks have played 1
; havoc With many railroads. They
have been losing in both freight,'
* and passenger traffic. Apparently !
there is no hope for some of them
and we may look for a .further '
loss in the country's railroad
mileage before the end of 1922.
Another thing we don't under-fjj
stand is why conceited people <
. seem to get along just about as
well as the rest of us.

Organic diseases of the heart
killed 151,000 Americans iu 1921,
li^rs a recent bulletin of the census
bureau. That was 19,000 more
than in 1920. Tuberculosis killed
122,000 in 1921. That was 10,000
Less than in 1920. Health campaigns
are slowly getting - the
14 great white plague ""under control.
Cancer's victims numbered
89,000 in 1921, or 5,000 more than
in 1920. In its early stages this
disease, we are told, is curable.
Our chances of dodging these and '
ull other diseases ar^. increased by
the common sense rules of living:
plenty of fresh air and sleep, good
plain food, and not too much of \
it, outdoor exercise, and no over- ,
strain. People now recognise that ;
it is-better and easier to prevent
disease than to cure it and are
living accordingly.

Mr. Mack urges parents to
makes every effort to get their '
children to school on time, which. *
he says, is important for several
reasons: Tardiness lowers the morale
of the pupil and injures .ne 1
discipline of the school. It is a I
tax on the time and patience of *
the teacher, while punctuality is 1
a virtue and indicates strength of |
moral fiber. Habitual tardiness '
with no valid excuse trains the (
pupil in habits of carelessness j
which quickly . undermine the 1
character. '
Parents also are urged to join ^
the Parent-Teacher association, t
"We meet the first Tuesdav in *
every month, discuss the needs of *
the school and ways to meet *
them and enjoy a abort program 1
given by the pupils and teachers," ?
lays Mr. Mack.
The second quarterly 'confer- c
mce of the Port Mill Mfethodist n
sharge will be held Sunday after- e

LEGISLATIVE NOTES. e
Although only two weeks of a
he present session of the Legisla- c
lure are'left, the body is equally t
in the dark with the pubUe as to 1
kvhelher the levy for State purpo- a
ses will be reduced this year. Nu- i
norous bills to raise revenue from f
lersonal and intangible properly f
luve been offered?to relieve
real property of the major por*
ion 6f the tax burden, according ?
;o the recommendation given the f
jills by their proponents?but as *
yet most of these bills lack the c
sanction of the senate and until ?
hat body disposes of them there ?
ia no telling how much revenue t
they will produce and what, the ?
ievy actually will ne. it tnere i
were no slips 'twixt the cup and t
he lip, if things were what 1
hey seem, and there was no such f
rhing as misrepresentation, one i
sould afford to take the word of t
hose who are saying that the tax t
ievy of 12 mills for 1921 will be s
educed to 6 mills for 1922. There I
las been a deal of politics? played i
n the Legislature, principally in ^
he house, this year, and most of 1
t so easily discernible that its i
lisguises have failed to deceive 1
inyone. Here is the member who *
las readied the conclusion that t
le is a man of important parts 1
ind that he is doing the people t
tn injustice by not giving them I
in opportunity to push him a F
ung or two higher on the politeal
ladder. He has decided to
un for Congress or State office
text summer. In the campaign *
lie burthen of his song will be 8
iow gallantly he fought to shift (
axation from the masses to those!11
setter able to pay it and he will
;all upon some bill or bills he inrodueed
this year to witness his
patriotic efforts. Maybe he will
jet away with it, and maybe he 1
von't. Sometimes the people are
tot bard to fool.
Admittedly there isn't quite
to much prosperity abroau as
here was a year or two ago, but
he l'act does not deter first one
iiul then another ^froro calling
lpon the Legislature to make appropriations
for odd purposes,
t'rof. Carson of the University of
3outh Carolina is interested in esablishing
in Columbia a wireless
telephone station from which he
lays market reports, higil grade
nusic, public speeches, etc., from
Northern cities will be available
throughout the State if substations
are built. Pfof. Curson j
is* muueHi in pis request?ne oniy
asks the Legislature to put up 1
J,500 bucks to help finauce the
proposition. Many farmers in the
lower section of the State did not
tuake enough cotton last year to
ttuff a quilt and not a few of
theui are just now hard pressed
to find food for their families and
selves, but these same farmers are
expected to agree that a wireless 1
station to be otlilt in Columbia by
taxation for the amusement and
edification of a few people on the
university.cuinpus is an absolute
necessity. Why not such a sta- l.
ion in every fence corner f The '
people need 'em. Let's begin dig;ing
the pout holes tomorrow.
Representative "Gene" Buck- J
ngham of Aiken county will give (
>ou his word for it that the eleciou
this year of Cole L. Blease to
I he governorship is one of the
hinge writ no large and so indel- .
bly that all the rithber in the
iitd of over* lead pencil between ^
Jmaha to (Jnaka cannot erase
t. Mr. Buckingham has been ^
>usy since the session began jfour ,
veeks ago inviting other mem- ,
>ers to "gat on the band wagon *
>efore the aeats are all taken." ,
le said a day or two ago that he ,
vas one of the drivers of the ,
vagon and that already there are
vidences of overcrowding. ^
Dr. Barnwell of Charleston *
ounty is the author of an amend- '
sent to the dog tax law which is
xpected to end the confusion
nto which the law has thrown h
he State since it become opera- g
ive a year ago, due to its alleged, f
bsciire meaning. The , amend- v
lent makes it as plain as words o
an that the State tax is the only g
ax to be collected on dogs in tl
iouth Carolina?which waa the T
itention of the present law, and b

The York delegation finds itelf
in the midst# of a perplexing
lituation in the face of numerous
equests for large appropriations
toming up from various sections
>f the county for roads,'bridges,
dc. Until work was begun on
he county supply bill a few days
igo, the members were confident
hey could grant most of these rejuests
without increasing the
evy, but the totals tell a differ>nt
tale. The York county levy
s now 6 mills, which is lower
han that of any other county in
he State, save one or two of the
mailer ones. The delegation ap>reciates
the importance of the
mproveraents it is asked to proride
funds for and hopes to ar'ange
to finance these iinproveuents
without increasing the levy,
