THE ELECTION RETURNS
The Chronicle worked hard Tues
day night to give the public the elect
ion news and with the exception of
the Layrens and Clinton city boxes,
had all the county returns posted by
shortly after nine o’clock. Bulletins
on the state election were also given,
though they were indefinite because
•f the slowness of the returns in U\e
respective counties over the state.
To all who assisted us in the office,
and to the managers who phoned in
the results, we are indebted and ex
tend our appreciation. The complete
returns for both state and county
tickets, are found in today’s paper.
THE GOVERNOR’S RACE
A study of the governor’s vote in
Tuesday’s primary is an eye-opener
and should cause the people to stop,
and if possible, to think. It shows
a spirit of discontent and rebellion
in the atmosphere.
Politically speaking, South Carolina
is in a state of chaos.
THE SENATORIAL RACE.
The elimination of Senator N. B.
Dial from the second race for the
United States Senate comes as a dis
appointment to his thousands of
friends throughout the state. No
good can come from after-election
alibis, but The Chronicle does not
hesitate to say that in our opinion,
the voters of South Carolina have
shown a very unappreciative spirit
towards a man who has proved him
self to be reliable, businesslike and
a safe and conscientious official. He
has untiringly labored to protect the
interests of the taxpayers of the state
and nation, and on all questions his
judgement and policy hat* been sound,
he has refused to play to the political
gallaries, a man of abilir.y and with
courage to express his convictions.
No one would call him a weather
politician.
In the Senate, due to his ma
ture- judgement and business train
ing, he has won a high place in the
estimation of his fellow workers and
fully enjoys the confidence of all,
both Democrats and Republicans. He
is in a better position today than
ever before to render helpful service
to South Carolina. But probably
faithful, consistent and unselfish ser
vice is not what the people want
when compared to the tactics of but
terfly politicians and the practices
and methods that they follow in the
business of politics. Whaf do the
people think they will accomplish by
replacing Dial with such a man as
Blease or Byrnes?
Dial, in the second race with Blease,
could easily have won. It is now
very probable that Blease will go to
the Senate. For his candidacy, we
have no enthusiasm, neither do we
possess any for Byrnes.
result. For the most part the house
wife who is the major purchaser un
consciously leans towards the house
that goes frankly to the public with
signed statements of its offerings and
prices. Whether she retlizes it or not,
she becomes suspicious of the house
that does not dare to go into the mar
ket place to announce its wares. The
housewife is a clever buyer. She
knows values and is hard to fool.
Silence may deceive her for a time,
but sooner or later she Wfeins to won
der why it is that “Wearem & Mis
fit” never state publicy the bargains
they have to offer^. but prefer to
whisper their prices and assurances.
Then she takes a journey out of town.
Then her neighbor does likewise.
INDIFFERENCE TO POLITICS
In addressing the Asheville Civitan
Club a day or two ago, Roger Miller,
manager of the Chamber of Com
merce of that city, stated that “one
of the greatest evils of American
public life today is the average citi
zen’s indifference to public affairs.”
Continuing, he said, “It has come
about due to the fact that the busi
ness of all branches of our govern
ment, local and national, is in popu
lar thought all conceived as ‘politics,
smalt" politics,
Hr- Miller is entirely correct in his
conclusion. That such is the situa
tion is a reflection updR> the people.
Politics should be redeemed from
this stigma and it is the duty of every
man and woman to have an intelligent
part in this reformation work. If
politics stands in need of elevation,
and no one is blind to this need, the
reformation can never come until the
people wake up to their responsibili
ties and do their part. If we are
going to have good government, it is
imperative that we give it some labor,
enthusiasm and intelligence in a
measure akin to that given to our
private affairs. As long as we leave
it to the peanut politicians we may
expect peanut politics.

IRON FALSE TEETH.
WAR AND CRIME DOESN’T PAY.
SOME CAN’T WEAR ’EM.
The great Krupp concern, makers
of big cannon on which the Kaiser’s
power used to rest, now manufactures
false teeth of steel, enameled, the
same steel that once went into fight
ing machinery. *
Can you imagine anything stranger
in history than the possibility of the
Kaiser wearing a set of false teeth
made by the Krupps? Not the same
bite in that set as there was in the
old cannon.
Two things never pay—crime and
war. The big war cost two hundred
and fifty billions of dollars, besides
lives lost. The Chicago crime that
attracts attention will cost at least
$600,000. It’s expensive even for tax-
pavers. They will supply about $100,-
000 as their share.
The parents of the depraved youths
that murdered young Franks wil'
spend about $500,000.
That is the price of two young
men’s attempt to get $10,000 by kid
naping. Their two necks may be ad
ded to the total.
A Hollander is on his way to Mhr-

two million somersaults will cover the
distance. The man is well padded
and seems quite happy, like many that
think as he travels, also in somer
saults.

whether the wine is cheap or dear.
Judge Talley says, “The United
States is the most lawless nation, and
most criminals are youngsters.”
That’s just it. The United States
is a youngster. Youth is always law
less. Lawlessness is terrible, but
there is one worse thing, and that is
stagnation. —
Parts of the West that were once
most lawless in the old gold fever
days are now typical law abiding.
This country will settle down. “There
is a cure for exuberance, none for
sterility.”

(’HERE SOME MERCHANTS FAIL
Community building presents many
omplex problems. The most per-
lexing seems to be the arrival of
tie public mind at the happy medium
etween sleepiness and inactivity, and
npetous action which has brought
o much trouble to small communities,
addling them with heavy debt,
weighing the people down with tre-
lendous taxes and strangling at birth
he growth of potentially healthy vil-
*ges and towns. There is some dis
pute among economists as to whether
n the building of the community in-
rease of population follows in the
rake of good stores or good stores
re the basis of increased population,
t is certain, however, that good
tores attract home seekers and that
be property of the merchant in-
reases with his trading population.
La a fact, most merchants hold their
ate in their own hands and fail to
ense the fact. They complain that
rade goes to nearby and larger cen
tra. When this is a fact, then as a
ule the merchant himself is to blame.
Zither he fails to handle the line of
■od^s demanded, he fails to give ade-
[uate service, his prices are too high,
r he fails, to let the people know the
haracter of the store he conducts
nd the trading opportunity he af-
brds. Too few merchants appreciate^
be value of advertising—too many
egard it as an expense instead of an
ivestment. They fail to see ita silent

Many of us can’t stand obstacles or
setbacks in life. While all is run
ning smoothly, we smile, but when
things go contrary to our likes, we
get restless and impatient. We can
learn a lesson from Abraham Lincoln.
When he was a young man he ran
for the legislature of Illinois and was
badly beaten. He next entered busi
ness—failed—and spent 17 years of
his life paying up the debts of a
worthless partner, vye are told. He
was in love with a beautiful woman,
to whom he became engaged—and
then she died. Entering politics again
he ran for Congress and was badly
defeated. He then tried for an ap
pointment in the United States Land
Office, but failed. After this he be
came a,candidate for the vice-presi
dency, but lost the race. In 1858 he
was once more defeated, this time by
Douglas.
In the face of all this, he eventual
ly became one of the country’s great
est men.
How would you stand in face of
such setbacks?
Disease is one of earth’s mysteries.
And most mysterious is the trouble
that Nature takes to protect disease
germs against their enemies, includ
ing man.
For instance, the tubecular bacil-
lusi which kills millions, lives encasec
in “a heavy capsule of fat,” which
gives it elasticity and protects it from
its enemies in our blood.
Sir Leonard Rogers, who has spec
ialized in fighting leprosy, noticed
the resemblance between the germs of
leprosy and tuberculosis, and tried on
his consumptive patients injections of
sodium morrhuate, that worked well
in leprosy.
It is the salt obtained from the bodj
of codfish, and has shown extraordi-
. nary results in leprosy and tubercu
losis.
Most of us cut our lives short by
fast living. More moderation in our
habits will mean longer days of life.
Henry Ford in speaking the other day
at the Wayside Inn in South Sud
bury, Mass., owned by him and dedi

out a set of rules which he practices,
and by which he believes ho will live
to be 100 years of age. The rules
as laid down by Mane Henry are
simple, and he is going about the-task

Knickerbockers are sensible, worn

In the North you see hundreds of

But why fine the poor creatures?
Many are fining themselves to the

A woman, eighty, bobs her hair
partly because she is tireik of hear
ing young people of fifty and sixty
talking about it. Some of the young
sters consider an eighty-year-old
“boyish bob” amusing. But many a
woman of eighty is literally younger
than the worn-out flapper of eighteen
or thirty-eight. It’s the youth in the
eyes, not in the years, that counts.
