THE WIFE AND THE KIDS
That tenier regard which the nor
mal man has for his wife and children
is the corner stone of modem civili
zation.
Men have stolen for home and chil
dren, but only when face to face with
starvation. Men have killed in defense
of the hearthstone. From time imme
morial men have waged wars to safe
guard the homeland and the helpless
inhabitants thereof.
On the other hand, men have robbed
and killed when inflamed by drink, or
beside themselves with anger, or
caught in the gjip of avarice. But a
man has never thought of his mate
and his children with that tender af
fection which is well-nigh universal
■without becoming himself a better
character for it, and adding another
brick to the building of a better world
for them to live in.
Look inside the real American home,
with its many attractions and its hap
py family, and know that it stands as
a monument to man’s truest devotion
to the wife and the kids.
Visit the modem development of the
little red schoolhouse and realize that
our democracy and tranquility are due
in no small part to this system of free
education, and put down another mn
to the credit of the influence of the
wife and the kids.

TO JACK ANDERSON AND HIS
* GALLANT CREW!
(From The Laurens Advertiser) .
The Advertiser has been approached
bjr numerous citizens, among them
city officials, suggesting that we say
“something nice’’ about the tine work
performed Friday night by the Clin
ton tire department when it gave
such valuable aid to this city’s own
fighting force in putting down the
disastrous conflagration which ap
peared imminent. This paper has not
nice enough words at its command to
express fitting what ought to be said
about the Clinton fire laddies, but
when we pass it on to them that an
appreciative sentiment is unanimous
in the city they will know that the la
bor that they performed up here and
the spirit in which they performed it
were not spent in vain. While our
folks are not lacking in appreciation
of the magnificent work done by the
home boys, they recognize that the
aid rendered by the Clinton fire lad
dies with their splendid equipment
was gallantly performed and deserves
our thanks and plaudits. We here
with present them!
Royal S. Copeland, junior senator
from New York and national! known
writer on health topics, speaks
in glowing terms of the food value of
our vegetables, and now we are told
that John J. Raskob, the multimillion
aire chairman of the Democratic par
ty, is forming a big syndicate to es
tablish canneries in this state. This is
good news, if true. Maybe the discov
ery of the high iodine content in
South Carolina vegetables marks the
turning point in the rehabilitation of
the agricultural industry of the state.
When a descending object hits bottom
it either rebounds or lies dormant, and
since the coming of the boll weevils
there is no denying the fact that agri
culture in South C^olina has hit bot
tom. The price of land has almost
touched the low point of the nineties
when cotton was selling at from three
to five cents a pound and the nation
was in the throes of a money and in
dustrial panic. But in those happy
days one could buy bacon for five
cents a pound, a suit of clothes for
$10 or a good hat for $3, and it is
probable that the economic condition
of the country was much sounder than
than it is today. There is not much
hope of general prosperity until land
values become normal again, and it is
idle to think of .land values returning
to normal until the earning power of
land is increased to the point that it
will show a substantial profit. There
is no profit in a yield of 150 pounds
of lint cotton to the acre, and it is be
ginning to look as if we must pin our
faith to the high content of the South
Carolina vegetable.

LEFT ONLY $4,500
(From The Spartanburg Herald)
General Bramwell Booth, command
er of the Salvation Army, who recent
ly died, left an estate valued at
$4,500. That within itself is a true in
dex to the character of the man, who
went about doing good. Poor in ma
terial wealth and things, he was rich
in character and service to mankind.
Unlike some in high rank in the forces
classified as those of morality and
righteousness who seek the ways of
the world to amass fortunes and fea
ther their nests, Bramwell Booth
spent almost the entire of his long
life lifting up the fallen, giving food,
sustenance, shelter and necessities to
the outcast and forsaken, ministering
alike to body and soul. In this world
of sin, shame, suffering and sordid
selfishness he found too many men,
women and children destitute and suf
fering and forsaken arresting his at
tention to devote his talents and ener
gies to money-making or building up a
personal fortune.

WHAT DO
P.S. JEANES
DO?
WHAT TYPE OF TIRES SHOULD YOU
HAVE ON YOUR CAR?
You drive differently than your friends do, don’t you?
Some of theln are.fast, hard drivers? Some use their
cars much less than you? Some stick mostly to good
roads and travel slew; some go everywhere?
Is it reasonable'to suppose that the same type of tire
will stand up equally well on different cars under such
different sp^s,'roads, loads and distances? Very well,
then, what type of tire will carry YOU safely and without
trouble, the way YOU drive and until you trade in your
car?
Perhaps a very low price Speedway- or a Goodyear
Pathfinder will doo. Or you may need a Goodyear All-
Weather in the regular type. Or possibly an oversize. Or
the heavy duty. Let us “take your measure” and fit you
out. Depend on this: We won’t try to sell you anything
better than you need just because you can afford the
best. You can trust us.

CLARENCE HARPER
(By Robert Quillen in The Fountain
Inn Tribune)
Clarence Harper died last Wednes
day.
His life was a fine tribute to the
character of Thornwell orphanage,
where he spent his boyhood.
He learned to set tjiie in the or
phanage print shop, and when he was
in his early twenties I gave him a job
in the Tribune office.
He lived in my home and was like a
member of the family.
When the great war came he was
drafted. It seemed an outrage, for he i zs:

The case is sadder than that. They I wheel-bases-through the
xive voice to this belief because they
are men who are blind. Perhaps they
■were born as blind men and never had
a decent chance to get their eyes open.
Perhaps they have become blind
■through habits of thought and action.
At any rate they are like the man
in the Buddhist book. They are blind
and they say that there is no love, no
loyalty, no virtue.
They are men to be pitied because
they are spiritual cripples.
They have never experienced the
finer, emotions of life in their own
darkened lives. They Mbve not had
those emotions often enough and
atrong enough to believe in their re
ality.

out of the window at night. Neverthe

Of course he was unfit for duty in

boy of his delicate sensibilities. He

He was gaued during one action

I asked him to work for me again
and he came and tried it. But I was
laid up at home with a case of grippe
that hung on for weeks, and when left
without guidance he went to pieces.
His poor shattered ‘nerves couldn’t
bear responsibility and he surrendered ' S
to panic.
I hated to part with him, for he was
one of the cleanest and finest boys I
ever knew and I loved him.
He tried to work in other shops for
a few years but finally gave up and
