' In one year the 12 federal reserve banks of the country have reduced their commercial louns , from $1,224,533,000 to $362,662,000. Tile reduction is more than two-thirds. There seems ? to he \ little human interest ill these tigures. Back of them, though, is the greatest tragedy of our generation?the story of _ deflation, with its hurricane of desperation,' fear, loss, despair and necessity. It tukes very litle more time and trouble ami expense to do a thing right than to do it half right, Hut many people do not realize this. And when you do a thing well you get so much more satisfaction out of it. Nobody is ever happy over a slovenly job of any kind. One of the main reasons why many people never succeed in life, and are continually discontented, is that they have never learned to do their work thoroughly. Murshull doff re, France's war hero, is big enough to do things out of the ordinary and get away with them. He wus a guest at a formal luncheou in New York city the other day, at which nu merous local celebrities were present. It was a tiresome affair, as such things usually are, and the great Frenchman was bored, lie nodJecT while some blunderbuss was making a speech, and fell asleep. A-friend at his elbow nudged him. lie opened his eyes, grinned, yawned, and fell asleep again. Nobody criticised hmi unkindly. It was .J off re, and whatever he did was all right. A lesser mun would have been socially ostracised forever, but not J off re. it must be a line thing io oe big enough to do anything you want to Uo ami get away with it. Americans everywhere are now interested in baseball, which has been the country's national sport since the Knickerbocker club of New York started the world's first buseball club in 1845. Six years before that Abner Doubleday took paper, quill pen anu ruler and an inventive brain and mapped out the first diamond. Abner certainly started something. lie would have heart failure if he could come baek today and see a big league grandstund audience in action. You can* never tell what you are starting. Some of the things Recently brought into existence may play as big part in American life as baseball. It is fortunate that we have u national sport thut combines physical exercise with the exercise of the brain, mental agility and quick decision. The one unfortunate thing about baseball i? that the game is too strenuous for men in middle life to play it. r' Meeting at Presbyterian Church. The Rev. W. II. Mi ley, D. D., evancrelist of the Presbvterian synod of South Carolina, assited by the Kev. J. T. Hooker as singer, is conducting a series of servjcesjn the Fort Mill Presbyterian church, which began Sunday evening and will continue through uext Sunday evening. Two services are held daily, at 9:30 o'clock in the morning and at 8 o'clock v in the evening. Prayer services also are being held from time to time in the cotton mill villages of the town. Dr. Mi ley is considered a preacher of unusual power and the services are being well attended. " A man never realises how poor ho is until he starts to make out ah income tax return. Some people may rejoice to learn that the paid reformers and uplifters are suffering from ths general depression. * k . - ' ... ; BBBeegggaaeaw fii'iin 'i Klsetrk Shock Kills Tot* Man. Robert Quinn, 34 year old yard superintendent of the York Cotton Oil company, was killed instantly in York Monday afternoon when an employee of the company misunderstood a commoiwl A# Vf ? ^? * -? I va vi i?n. ^uuiii nuu lui ucu .he curren 011 a wire he was adjusting. Five hundred and fifty . olts passed through his body. The accident occurred at the ice making plant where employees had just run a ground wire. Noicing that the wire wras loosely wrapped around the stake, Mr. Quinn stepped outside to tighten it. He called for those inside to draw in a tape he was using, it is said, and- in the noise" made by he machinery his words were misunderstood by Will Dfaon, an 18 year old employee, who turned on the current. Mr. Ouinn was a veteran of the World war und was widely and favorably known. He is survived by his widow, his father, Felix Quinn, a sister and six brothers, two of whom are Sheriff Fred K. Quinn and Deputy Sheriff D. T. juinu. The campaign is approaching and some of the prospective candidates are beginning to discover what a fine fellow the editor is.
