There is no field of endeavor in whikh persistency does not enter as a ringing-true vir tue. Men -have built great business enterprises by persistency in advertis ing. The foundation to many a for tune has been laid by persistency in thrift, economy and small savings. Men have persisted in •the fields of politics, and have finally reached high positions of state. Youths have sac- Ttfieed at the altar of persistency in i * seeking education and have seen their ambitions realized. Others have per sisted and broken the fetters that bound them to wrongful habits and have thus been permitted to enter into newness of life and fresh fields of usefulness.

The iniqui of the law is pointed out in a news story from Rock Hill where it is stated that sales in drug stores there have fallen off perceptibly, but that does not mean that the women and girls have abandoned the use. The article states that they are purchased in Charlotte, Gastonia, and other plac es across the North Carolina line, and also from the rriail order hottses that are now making a concerted drive for this business in this state. The store keeper with these toilet'articles on his’ shelves, though no fault of his, i^ out of luck, and in 9II fairness, the public should.apprWiafe his’ position and put the responsibility where it belongs. The conditions that exist at Rock Hill are fouqd every where else in the state. It is due to “expediency” legislation— a kind that, the people of South Caro lina are getting tired of, yet it is still being put upon them. A headline reads: “More taxes pro posed in France.” That’s nothing new with.a South Carolina legislature. , programs rendered were full of inter est, both to. the pupils and patrons and always prove an enjoyable part of the week’s closing exercises and quite a drawing card with the public, parti cularly the patrons of the schools.
