THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, SOOTH CAROLINA
her that Us affection would last for
ever. “Silver Threads Among the
Gold" vris the title of that song, yon
remember it, well, if you’re fifty. It’s
a pretty song. Many have butchered
it It made money and when pros
perity carte in one door, harmony
flew out of the other. Danks and
his wifii separated. His son and
daughter have quarreled about royal
ties oh the song.
LET LION HOAR VIA RADIO.
AND NOW FIRPO.
THE LAST SILVER THREAD.
THREE KINDS OF WEALTH.
LET THEM DANCE.
Here is a new raido idea. Brit
ish broadcasters will install a mic
rophone and very small transmitter
in some wild wood, frequented by
nightingales, and the wonderful bird
“not borq for death” will be heard,
all over England.
Suggestion for*—American broad
casters. Instead of a bed-time story,
let youngsters hear the lion roaring,
elephant trumpeting, hyena laughing
and baboon yelling from the zoo. It
could be arranged by adjusting the
feeding hours. Every boy would like
K, especially the lion’s roar.
“IT fight no more,” says Firpo,
it of the Pampas, “after this one
fight with Reich.”
The Argentine giant means to live
his own life and* leave the atmos-
phere af the prize ring, which does
not please him. He even refuses the
possibility of making half a million
by one wtore fight in the United
States, i
In 1903, an old man was found
dead, kneeling beside his bed in a
Philadelphia lodging house. On an
old copy of “Silver Threads” he had
written this: “It’s hard to grow old
alone.” That'was Danks. Last Fri
day his wife was buried. She had
died at eighty-two, in a Brooklyn
rooming house, where she lived alone.
arms and back are more valuable
earners than deep convolutions in the
brain, as you read of offers made to
Mr. Jack Dempsey.^ He has *a mov
ing picture offer of a million, and
two offers running from half a million
to a million for a few minutes of
fighting.
“Muscle is king,” you say, but
then you remember that John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., leaning osar for his
21 foot putt, might have one little
thought that would earn him fifty
millions, and he wouldn’t have to be
photographed, or fight, to get R.
ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION
FOR SENATOR DIAL
Construct your own moral, and be
sure to include this “It’s better to
put a good house and lot in your
wife's name, or build up for her a
respectable bank account, that you
can’t touch, than to sing to her “Yes,
my darling, you will be always young
and fair to me.”
Firpo Has met “a worse knockout
than Dempsey’s.” A lady from Paris,
who acts, wants Firpo to go to
France.
Who wasn’t betrayed the Capital?
—A woman!
Who lost Mark Antony the world?
—A woman!
Who was the cause of a long ten-
years’ war, and laid at last old Troy
in ashes?—A’ woman!*
And now it’s Firpo’s turn.
Just fifty years ago, young Hart
Pease Danks and his wife lived hap
pily. He even wrote a song to tell
Round the world fliers, encounter
ing heavy weather, were temporarily
checked, and geese that never learn
say “the flying machine will never
be practical.”
It isn’t so long since railroad time
tables announced that tf&ins would
run at such an hour, “weather per
mitting.” Weather doesn’t stop them
now. It won’t stop flying machines,
either, in another twenty-five years.
WHY CHANGE?
There are three kinds of wealth
only—the EARTH on which you
stand, TIME, and man’s INTELLI
GENCE. How wealth increases and
time is actually increased or saved is
shown by research of the National
Association of Farm Equipment
Manufactures. Thanks to machinery,
saving labor, American farmers sav
ed last year 1,382,539,204 days of
actual work.
Figured at $3 a day that would
be a gain to the farmers of four bil
lions of dollars. Farmers will won
der where the money is.
The fact, unfortunately, is that the
saving of time, money and cost due
to perfecting of machinery, goes
largely to middlemen—not much of
it to those that do the actual work.
Editor Greenville News:
I read the article of Mr. A. B.
Williams concerning Senator. Dial
with much interest. Like Mr. Wil
liams, although not living in South
Carolina, I am still intensely inter
ested in her affairs, and in those
things that spell for her progress and
prosperity. I can view problems and
men from a disinterested angle. ,1
do not know Mr. Byrnes very well.
Of course, not so intimately as I have
known* "Senator Dial, but I wfah to
say I have a profound admiration for
Mr. Byrnes and for his ability and
achievements, but I think that he can
very well afford to wait a little while.
Senator Dial deserves a second term.
I believe just now it would be a mis
take not to return him to the United
States Senate. He is a man of strong,
rugged, intellect; plain, forcible and
possessing to an unusual degree, good,
hard common sense; concise and
blunt in speech; thoroughly conscien
tious in the discharge of his duties,
of unquestioned patriotism, and a
practical and successful business man.
He is not a politician. This country
is suffering now from a lack of men
of the Dial type in its Congress and
Legislatures. We need a business ad
ministration conducted along business
lines, and guided by conservative
business principles. In considering a
measure, Dial does not regard its
effect upon his political future.
He does not “Crook the pregnant
hinges of the knee where thrift may
follow fawning.”

WHAT DO
P. S. JEANS
DO?
T!» Greenville News of Saturday
ptinta a letter from A. B. Williams,
veteran South Carolina Journalist
now resident in Virginia, advocating
the election of Senator N. B. Dial to
succeed himself.
After dwelling on the added influ
ence and usefulness that come from
long and continuous service and mak
ing it plain that Dial’s fellow-Sena-
tors have learned to have a whole
some respect for him and to listen
when he speaks, Mr. Williams closes
by saying:
“This is an appeal to the plain,
sturdy common sense v of the peo
ple of South Carolina, not to
their passions or prejudices. It
is respectfully presented to them
because of my earnest interest in
State and people and strong de
sire to promote as I can the
honor and welfare of both."
The Greenville News commends the
Williams letter to thoughtful consid
eration and adds: }
“The News was told recently
by a representative of another
state that Senator Dial showed
more ’promis0~'»r "a" 'statesman
than any man South Carolina had
in the National Congress since
the Civil War.”
All of which is very much to the
point.
During the five years and over that
Dial has been in the Senate, he has
not attempted to advertise. He has
not made any effort to acquire the
ways of a professional politician or
an expert campaigner or a habitual
handshaker. He has, remained the
same simple-hearted and single-mind
ed man he always was, busying him
self exclusively with the work his
people sent him to Washington for—
representing South Carolina in the
Senate of the United States honestly,
earnestly, intelligently, worthily.
As nearly every one knowns who is
at all familiar with such matters, sen
atorial courtesy is the very apotheosis
of unwritten law—for the most part
as strong in practice as statute itself
—whereas seniority (gained by length
of service in the Senate alone) is the
foundation stone of senatorial cour
tesy. A new senator must conse
quently begin not only at the begin
ning but literally at the bottom; and,
if he is made of the right stuff, his
prestige and his resulting usefulness
to his constituents increase day by day
in proportion to how long he has been
continuously a member of the Senate.
At the present time this State has
in its jnnior Senator and in his op
ponent two excellent representatives
well acquainted with their duties as
such and possessing the advantage of
years of service where they now are.
If Dial be defeated, he must«t best
be replaced by a senatorial beginner
which beginner must in turn be him
self succeeded by another beginner.
So that, if Dial be not retained, the
State will be thereby exchanging two
seasoned veterans for two out and out
beginners—it being necessary to
bear cbnstanly in mind the fact that
seniority in either house of Congress
is not transferable to the other and a
member of either who transfers his
membership to the. other must there
by forfeit all claim to priority
preference which he would have re
tained and progressively increased if
he had remained where he was.
If there had been the least sugges
tion of any dissatisfaction with the
manner in which Dial has uniformly
conducted himself as a Senator or if
there were any issue whatever, there
might be some reason for con
sidering the desirability of
a change; but it is scarcely to be ex
pected that the Democratic voters of
South Carolina will be so short-sight
ed as to repudiate and deprive them
selves of the valuable services of a
tried and thoroughly satisfactory pub
lic servant merely because somebody
else wants the place for himselfv—
