My it 3m, WMtuk DUMUtw* - - i<Aww.m , American Individualism A Timely Message to the American People By HERBERT HOOVER Secretary of Commerce. ? 3? SPIRITUAL PHASES OUli social and economic sys tem cannot march toward better days unless it is in ?npired by things of the spirit. It is here that the higher purposes of in dividualism must find their suste nance. Men do not live by bread alone. Nor is individualism merely a stimulus to production and the road to liberty; it alone admits the universal divine inspiration of every human soul. I may repeat that the divine spark does not lie In agree ments, In organizations, In Institutions, In masses or In groups. Spirituality with Its faith, Its hope, its charity, can be Increased by each Individual's own effort. And In proportion as each In dividual Increases his own store of spirituality, In that proportion In creases the Idealism of democracy. For centuries, the human race be lieved that divine Inspiration rested In a few. The result was blind faith In religious hierarchies, the Divine Right of Kings. The world has been disil lusioned of this belief that divinity rests In any special group or class whether It be through o creed, a tyr anny of kings or of proletariat. Our Individualism Insists upon the divine In each human being. It rests upon the tirnv faith that the divine spark can be awakened In every heart. It was the refusal to compromise these things that led to the migration of those religious groups who so largely composed our forefathers. Our diversi fied religious faiths are the upotheosla of spiritual Individualism. The vast multiplication of voluntary organizations for altruistic purposes are themselves proof of the ferment of spirituality, service, and mutual re sponsibility. These associations' for advancement of public welfare, Im provement, morals, charity, public opin ion, health, the clubs and societies for recreation and Intellectual advance ment, represent something moving at a for greater depth than "Joining." They represent the widespread aspira tion for mutual advancement, self-ex pression, and neighborly helpfulness. Moreover, today when we rehearse our own Individual memories of suc cess, we find that none gives us such comfort as memory of service given. De we not refer to our veterans as service men? Do not our merchonts and business men pride themselves In something of service given beyond the price of their goods? When we trav erse the glorious deeds of our fathers, we today never enumerate those acts that were not rooted In the soil of service. Those whom we revere are those who triumphed in service, for from them comes the uplift of the human heart and the uplift of the human mind. While there are forces In the growth of our Individualism which must bo curbed with vigilance, yet there are no less glorious spiritual forces grow ing within that promise' for the fu ture. There Is developing In our peo ple a new valuation of Individuals and of groups and of nations. It Is a rising vision of service. Indeed If I were to select the social force that above all others 1ms advanced sliurp ly during these past years of suffer ing, It Is that of service ? service to those with whom we come In contact, service to the nation, and service to the world Itself. If we examine the great mystical forces of the past seven years we find this great spiritual force poured out by our people as never before In the history of the world ? the Ideal of service. Just now we are weakened by the feeling of failure of immediate realiza tion of the great Ideals and hopes that arose through the exaltation of war. j War by Its very nature sets loose cha otic forces of which the resultants can not be foretold or anticipated. The In- j sensitiveness to the brutalities of physi cal violence, and oil the splrltuol dis locations of war, have left us, at the moment, poorer. The amount of se renity and content In the world Is smaller. The spiritual reaction after the war has been In part the fruit of some Il lusions during those five years. In the ( presence of unity of purpose and the mystic emotions of war, many men came to believe that solvation lay In | mass ond group octlon. They hove | seen the spiritual and material mobil ization of notions, of classes, and groups, for sacrifice ond service; they hove conceived that reol humon prog ress con he ochleved by working on "the psychology of the people" ? by the "moss mind"; they yielded to lead ership without reservation ; they con ceived that this leadership could con tinue without tyranny; they have for gotten that permanent splrltuol prog teas Ilea with the Individual.

REVENUE OFFICE NEARLY TOPS LIST SOUTH CAROLINA DI8TRICT STANDS SECOND IN THE UNIT ED STATES. REPlfoT TO MM. J. F. JONES Comparative Statement Shows Thl? District Far Ahead of Larger States. Columbia. ! The Sou'.h Carolina Internal revenue ' district stands second in the Untied t States In taxes collected per deputy ' by the field forces during the six ' months period ending December 31, i 1922. according to a comparative state j ment of all the states received by ' MaJ. John F. Jones, collector for South Carolina. Mississippi leads the entire I country, with South Carolina second. Major Jones has been working day and night since he assumed the duties of collector in an effort to make the South Carolina office the most effl ; cient in the United Stutes and he has . several times in tlie past been highly complimented for his dispatch and ac curacy of work. Ho will continue every effort possible until he reaches his desired goal, as he believes this can be attained if South Carolina is a small state and having only a limited field force. Major Jones is naturally proud of the record made by his field force. His office has been commented on so many times that he had felt that It stood right up at the top but this is the rst such comparative statement that has been issued by the depart ment at Washington and as the pos sibilities in some of the other dis tricts are so much greater on account [ of the greater wealth and population (the latter rendering it unnecessary for such a loss of time in traveling from place to place widely separated as Is the case lu this state) that such a showing made by his deputies work ing out of the office is especially no ticeable. To Sell Weevil Poison at Cost. South Carolina farmers are In. a better position to secure all the cal cium arsenate they need for fighting j the boll weevil than the farmers of : any other state In the cotton belt, aQ I cording to a statement by J. Clifton . Rivers, state warehouse commission er, who Is charged with administering j the law passed by the recent session of the legislature providing that the state should buy calcium arsenate for resale to tho farmers at cost. Infor ! mation received by Mr. Rivers while I at New York recently, he said, lndi ' catod that the state's arrangement would enable him to secure shipments of tho poison thta would otherwlBO have gone to other states. j That tho farmers will benefit by I securing their poison at a lower price has already been demonstrated by ! the course of the market, Mr. RiverB declared. Acting as soon as the leg islature passed tho bill setting aside $50,000 as a rovolving fund to finance i the calcium arsenato buisness of tho state, the commissioner secured op tions on 14 carloads of the poison at prices which enablo hlrfi to supply South Carolina farmers at 20 cents a I pound, although tho latostmarket quo tations nanve 22 and 24 cents a pound j for the poison. Tho price of 20 cents a pound was sot by Mr. Rivers, he said, in order to prevent any inequalities, and to | cover the cost of handling the poison. Governor Signs Remaining Acts. 1 Every act of the recent legislature has been signed with one exception. Tho governor has Just signed throe of tho acts remaining on his desk. These are: Tho act of Sonator Rogers, of Spar tanburg, to enlarge tho powers of the probato courts, bo as to provido for handling of Juvenile cases. , The penltetntiary act, Introduced by Senator Wlghtman, Cooper and Chrls tensen, providing for the change In management of tho state ponltentiary, whereby tho prison Is to bo mannged by a board named by tho governor nnd a superintendent appointed by tho bonrd. This act takes effoct noxt year. Representative Heyward's act re vising the operation nnd organiza tion of tho state board of fisheries. Tho I>>xington county supply act. The act to exempt from taxation certain manufactures which shall be built In tho counties of Anderson, Aiken and Georgetown, for a period of fivo years. Tho manufactures refer red to' a?o cotton, woolen, rubber, pot tory and pulp. Governor Names Solicitor. John I<yles "Olenn, Jr., of Chester, who has boon appointed by Governor MeI?ood as solicitor of tho sixth Judi cial circuit to succeed J. K. Henry, who has taken tho oath of office as Judgo of that, circuit, Is oxootod to qualify In a fow days. The appointment of Mr. Olenn comes following Judgo Henry's resig nation as solicitor. Mr. Henry held that offlco until tho close of the loglh laturo session, as his services were Qeodod In the engrossing department. Main Highways to B* Repaired. Efforts to put &11 the mala highway* of the state in traveling condition will be begun by the state highway de portpient, according to plans announc ed by Charles H. Moorefleld, state highway engineer. Work on sevoral important links that are .pow in bad condition will be sturted as early as possible, Mr. Moorefleld said. Funds for tho work will be supplied from a portion of the gasoline tax act. The department, Mr. Moorehead ex plained, Is making up a set of esti mate* for maintenance work over the state and finds that approximately $100,000 will be available for use in bettering roads that need repair. This Bum will be taken from the gasoline tax set aside for maintenance and "betterments.'' The maintenance plans will be sub bitted to the commission at its meet ing this month. Under tho plans now mapped out the money from the gaso line tax will be used wherever it is most needed for the best interests of the state, Mr. Moorefleld said. The 1923 motor vehicle license fund will be supplemented by the Kasoline tax in 36 counties of the state in or der 'that the roads may be properly maintained. Only ten counties have sufficient funds from the 1923 motor vehicle license fees to maintain their roads, these being Charleston, Darling ton, Dillon, Kdgefleld. Greenville, Marl boro, Richland, Saluda, Spartanburg and Sumter. Funds will not have to bo supplemented in these counties. However. In the most of these coun ties -the department has in mind cer tain betterments to roads that will be of much value to the counties. It ia estimated that $250,000 from the gas tax law will be used for maintenance and $100,000 for betterments. Some of the betterment projects most urgent and which will receive the first attention of the department will be as follows: Twenty-one miles of the Washing ton-Atlanta highway in Chesterfield county from Dethune and Patrick. This Uuk is the ouly unimproved section of this road from Cheraw to Columbia. A section of the Washington-Atlanta highway in Marlboro county. Ten miles of state highway No. 2 in Calhoun county. This rond is al ready under construction, but some time will elapse before It is completed and the department plans to put the ten mile section In traveling condition. Part of highway No. 41 in Iierkerly county, running from Moncks Corner to the Santee bridge. A section of tho road In Dillon coun ty, from Little Rock to the Marlboro county line toward Bennettsville. Fifteen miles of the highway from Winnsboro to Blackstock. Exchanges Cloth for Road Material. Announcement of an exchange of goods amounting to $55,168.29 be tween the state highway department and H. Gelb of New York 'was made by H. L. Thomas, socretary of the Btate highway commission. Tho department traded $55,168.29 worth of duck cloth to Mr. Gelb for tractors and other road machinery. Tho cloth was received by the depart ment fram the United States depart ment of agriculture, it being surplus war material. Only a limited amount of the duck could be used by the highway department in the construc tion of roads and the exchange was effected. Prior to the trade the department obtained a ruling from the attorney general that suclv an exchange would come within the federal law. Following a consultation of tho dif ferent heads of divisions In the de portment and A. B. Langley, a mem ber of tho commission, with ?>Jat Shan flold, represented Mr. Gelb, the ex change was perfected. Under the torms of the exchange Mr. Gelb will receive 167,000 yards of duck cloth and tho highway depart ment will receive ten tractors, five Dodge automobiles, 15 Fords, 24 hand hoists and a lot of other material de signed for use in constructing roads. It was tho second trade this year another exchange of 75,000 yards of duck having been made in January. Income Tax Continue# To Mount. While public interest centers in the collection of tho now taxes imposed by the state legislature this year the income tax for 1022, which was par able on March 15, tho rovenue from tho income tax of th*s previous year contlnuos to mount, according to a statement made at tho office of the South Carolina tax commission. Approximately $100,000 was collect ed during tho month of January as o result of an Intensive effort made by the department, It was doclnred. Hoth February and March showed addition* to tho tax on incomes, which was for tho year 1921. The total rovonuo lRRt year from the Income tax, with thoso additional , collections Included, was estimated at approximately $1,150,000 at tho tai commissions office. Names Delegates to Conference.
