Tell that?to your inquiring friends. The value/ of crops will be TEN THOUSAND MIL LION DOLLARS. Farmers are more cheevfql, prices good^ Commercial business in cities is im proving steadily. Extraordinary show ing^ will be made for August by many department stores and other big institutions. The state of New York pities itself because it pays $500,000,000 incoifee tax, almost a third of the entire na tional tax. New Yorkers s£out<!h*t forget that if they pay $500,000,000, it is because forty-seven other states send all their wealth to New York banka* spend millions in New York shops and ho tels, and allow New York’s high fin ance to tap with its corporations and its interlocking ownerships the sourc es of wealth all over the United States. . Since New York gets the income, it should he content to pay the tax. STANLEY PITTS HAS PASSED AWAY Splendid Young Man Dies Suddenly At His Residence*—Funeral Held Yesterday. Mr. Stanley Pitts, 27 years of age, a well known young manj)f this city, passed away Tuesday aTternoon at his residence on Florida street after an. illness of only two days. »The news of his death came as a surprise to his friends because of its sudden ness, though he had been in declining health for some tipie. The funeral sendee was held yesterday afternoon at 4:30 at the residence and' inter ment followed at the Presbyterian cemetery. The services were con ducted by his pastor, the Rev. L. E. Wiggins and attended by a large num ber of friends and relatives. Mr. Pitts was well known and es teemed here where he spent his entire life. A _few years ago he gave up his former work and put in operation the first bus line between Clinton and Laurens which brought him in con tact with hundreds of people, and by his courteous and accomodating'man ner he made many friends over the state who will be saddened to learn of his passing. He was .an upright young man, absolutely honest and fair in all of his dealings, a loyal citisen, faithful friend and devoted son and husbaifu. The deceased is survived by his widow and one little daughter, his mother, Mrs. E. Lee Pitts, two sisters, Mary and Genet, and four brothers. Sterling, WiHiam Denny, Carroll and Davis Pitts. »• / one-half the proposed height of this 65-story hotel. , “President Coolidge will leave the coal situation for the present to Con gress and hopes there will be no pro fiteering in the meantime.” So reads the dispatch. That is a large .hope, for “in the meantime” many dealers have raised the prica fifty cents a ton. With the public, panic-stricken, rushing to buy, tha^ means comfortable profiteering. Mrs. Elsie Eaton Newton, Ohio lady, found herself facing the empti ness of life, with her two daughters married. Many ladies would have sat down to have a good cry. Mrs. New ton went to Marietta College, worked hard, got her A. B. degree, with her tWo grandchildren sitting in the audi ence, to cheer. Now she is Dean of 'Women in Marietta College, and happy. There is no life emptiness, except in the brain. KeepAhat busy and life is all right, even if your daughters are married and your husband dead.* The great Bernard Shaw, in a mood of unusual but accurate humility, says the world a thousand years hence will know nothing about him except that the great French sculptor, Rodin, once made a bust of Shaw, biographical dictionaries will contain this: “Shaw, Bernard; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown.” Even that’s an overstatement, for in a thousand years Rodin won’t be remembered any more than Shaw. Rodin in art, 1,000 years from now will be as unimportant as Kipling in literature or Shaw in philosophy. THURSDAY After war broke out the Czar put Russia on a cold water basis, stop ping the sale of vodka absolutely. This column then suggested that absence of whiskey would mean more cold thinking by Russians, and that one result of such thinking would be the absence of the Czar. That pro phecy was fulfilled. The next generation will read about “the navy patrolling the route,” to save the fliers if necessary, and that tfill seem as strange as to send an automobile with a carrier pigeon in case it should fall down.

Ten per cent of profits will go to missionary work, looked after by the son. The father will look after the profits. Now Bolshevism restores* vodka to its old alcoholic power—about forty per cent. Men to whom thinking is itew dis like the unpleasant sensation and ef fort. * And governments that want to rule in peace find their work easier when the crowd ruled is well supplied with whiskey.
