TO BE RICH AND USEFUL.
At Dayton, a lighter-than-air fly
ing' machine carried up with it a
small airplane, as a fish hawk carries
up a fish. Two thousand feet up the
little airplane was released by the
big Zeppelin and went flying off on
its own account. That s interesting
in this country which has made no
preparation to meet the danger of
invasion through the air.
Imagine a similar machine, ten
times as big, leaving the coast of
Asia, or Europe, carrying beneath it
a dozen high-powered bombing mach
ines. Imagine that big ship coming
out of the early morning sky, releas
ing its brood of swift destroyers to
wreck cities—the mother 8hip,and the
little ships subsequently landing on
safe neutral ground in Canada.
This nation will have the world’s
greatest fighting fleet of airships
soon, or the United States of 1924
will be known in later history hs
“The Nation of Imbeciles.”

Thrown From Car
After Being Robbed
M. A.. Brewington Telia of Experi
ences Near Laurens With.
Sedan Party.
Laurens, Oct 19.—After being in
vited to ride in a closed car with two
men and a young woman, M .A. Brew
ington, young painter of Laureiis,
claims he, was manhandled, robbed
and cast into the road last night on
the Laurens-Clinton highway. Brew
ington was picked up by a passing
truck, brought to town and given
medical attention/ Late last night,
after being restored to his normal
state of mind, he told the sheriff that
while waiting for the Laurens bus, a
party in a big car stopped and invited
him to ride, after inquiring if he
wished to go to town. One of the
men offered Brewington a drink,
which he says he declined, whereupon
the man attacked him, striking him
several terrific blows which stunned
and dazed him. Then the door was
opened as the big car sped along and
the annexed passenger was thrown
head first into the road, where he
remained until picked up by a passing
motor truck. After restoratives had
been given him, Brewington discov
ered he had been robbed at $28, pert
of. his weekly pay.
Brewington claims he recognized
the woman, and thinks he could iden
tify the men who kidnaped him last
night, but so far the apprehension
has not been effected. The car car
ried a Greenville name plate at the
fropt, according to Brewington, who
says he observed fhis when the car
approached him at the roadside.
Brewington carried evidence of the
fact that he has been in contact with
rough ttctics.
In the Middle Ages not only men
but animals were tried for murder
when they killed a human being, and
if “guilty,” were executed. On a cer
tain occasion a sow, with her litter
of suckling pigs, had killed and eat
en a young child. The sow mother
and her offspring were tried in court.
The sow was condemned to death, the
little pigs were spared, on the ground
that “because of their extreme youth
they could not be held responsible.”
Some murderers have been hanged
in the United States, with iijfelligence

Among letters by George Washing
ton, to be sold in London, one to his
Philadelphia dentist tells how much
trouble Washington had with his
false teeth. They were strung on
wires and got loose. They looked
about as natural, when he wore them,
as a set of small golf balls, being*cut
out of solid ivory.
. Civilization does not realize what
it owes to dentists and occulists, good
false teeth and good spectacles.
Think of the ancient Greeks, to
whom false teeth and eyeglasses were
unknown. The marvel is that
many of them lived to be old.
so
In a California decision, the State
Attorney-General forbids, in public
schools, even the Lord’s Prayer, in
the way of religion. There is no
doubt mat £he public school system
should teach the three R's and other
positive knowledge, leaving religious
teaching to the discretion of parents.
It is wise to keep all religious
teaching or favoritism out of public
schools. On the other hand, it is un
wise, and an outrageous interference
with the rights of parents; to tell
them that they cannot, at their own
expense, send heir children to private
or parochial schools where religion is
taught—provided that - educational
requirements are met.
Young man ,do you want to be rich
and useful? Learn something about
electricity and invent a light storage
battery. Electricity, which in itself
weighs nothing, will not always be
carried about stored in heavy metals,
weighing as much as the vehicle that
the electricity propels.
Don’t be discouraged by the fact
that you are not an electrical engi
neer or a scientist. Sometimes
knowing too much about a thing pre
vents seeing its possibilities clear
ly.
The man who invented the sewing
machine couldn’t sew. His whole
idea was putting the needle’s “eye”
at the point of the needle instead of
at the other end. An expert seam
stress would have said, ‘That’s non
sense.”
A Filipino laborer, working in the
Hamakau sugar mill, is dead of bu-
bonic plague in Hawaii.
Three rats infested with the plague
have been caught.
How soon will our exalted civiliza
tion, which gladly spends thousands
of millions to kill other human be
ings, spend the few necessary mil
lions to get rid of rats and other
disease-spreading vermin?
