Those interested ' In ?this patriotic movement, have suc ceeded, and the Wilson Home will be come a shrine of the state. The newspapers of Columbia? The State ; and The Record ? did much to help .make this possible, and will not be forgotten for their splendid help and ^co-operation.

A deed to the property is in ^process of making to the state, and ?the shrine will be in charge of the State Historical Commission, which .'will proceed at once, to make the ^necessary repairs just as soon as they aro put in possession of the proper fr- -.'4 PUTTING IT STRONG As we were on our way to our ffico a few mornings ago, a gentle lan on the street stopped us to make ; comment. This is what ho said: If the so-called Christians who rink bootleg liquor had half at luch faith in Jesus Christ as he as in the bootlegger, all the powers f hell could not keep him from en_ Bring the pearly gates. Jesus Christ ever flim-flams anybody*; the boot agger does." Then he added an ther comment? or shall we say spoke f parable, when he said: "When an fficer is ? killed while trying to en orce the law, it is a regrettable ac ldent. When a bootlegger is killed lis an outrage." You may pon erft these statements and put yourj wn interpretation upon them. liKING AUTOMOBILE TRANS- 1 PORTATION SAFER ^Every year, as thousands of ad- j iltional automobiles come into use |d traffic congestion grows, the ac l4&t risk increases. I f^This is being offset to a great ex ant by the trend in automobile con duction and modern highway de i^roaont-day cars, with four-wheel kea, non-ahatterable glass and al - it bodlea, give the rider a maxi i of mechanical protection. In emergency any one of these fea. brea may very easily mean the di - arence between a fatality and a light mishap. , .... |rhe new trend in highway building I likewise conducive to the highes oesible degree of safety. Engin iflng specifications call for wider bads, many of them capable of car ting four cars abreast, with smooth non-skid" surfaces and banked turns, f New roads are being built and old kads rebuilt to conform to these kodern standards of safety and bmfort. Motor car manufacturers ?e now using all-steel bodies td equipping their machines with kodern safety devices. As a re in spite of high-Bpeed driving 1' heavy traffic, motoring dangers ?? being minimized. PATERNALISM AND TAXES JEvery time a new bureau or com iisslon comes into being, or the gov ftmient further encroaches on the tiftlness and private lives of its cit P8,"a substantial sum is added to he public tax bill. ItJndor paternalistic government Exes are usually oxhorbitant. France u Germany, whew the governments many basic lines of industry, are jood examples of this. The United States has avoided moat this paternalism. But in recon bars there has been a trend away Km first principles. Bureaucrats Lve flourished. As a result we have the highest fates In our history and as long as Evernment extends the sphere of ts ptlvitles they will incroase. !arry F, Sinclair, who is now serv a ninety days sentence for con Impt of court, finds that he has It more months to servo for his Iftnoction with shadowing the jury I his trial, thus causing a mistrial. K the time he is freod he will have pmed a thing or so about bucking s)e Sam. ?The old confederate veterans had 'ireat time in Charlotte last week. ?was estimated that there were at lit twenty thousand' visitors pres K to do honor to the gallant old kerans of the grey. And they |l? there in right food numbers. I A REPORT ON PROSPERITY The report of President Hoover's Committee on Recent Economic Changes paints a glowing picture of ou? prosperity. The investigation which was made by 17 acknowledged industrial, financial and economic, au thorities,' shows that the field open for future progress is unlimited. The past seven years, with which the report deaU, was oue of unpre cedented economic acceleration. The standard of living reached the high est level in history; wages increased which the copt of living remained sta. tlonary; in Bpite of increased spend ing and a great demand for luxuries; savings grew;, per capita production increased while hours of labor were reduced. As the report points out, the the oretical principle that wants are in satiable is true. As fast as one popular want is satisfied aonther takes its place. And the result iB a constant increase in production, steady employment, high wages and a consequent impetus to our general prosperity. The skeptics who have feared we were riding to a fall will find this report an amazing document. It shows conclusively that our prosperity is no ephemeral thing, but the natur al outgrowth of our development. We will grow still more prosperous in the future. The spirit of America is sound and there is no end to progress. ORPHANAGE TO BE ESTABLISH ED IN SUMTER John K. Croswell, wealthy busi ness man of Sumter who died recent ly, left the bulk of his estate, estim ated at not less than $500,000, to provide for an orphanage to be known as the "John K. Croswell Home." He bequeathed about B per cent of his estate to relatives and also to several institutions in which he was inter, ested ? $1,000 to Trinity church, Sum ter; $1,000 to the Y. M. C. A., of Sumter, $1,000 to the Kpworth Or phanage, and $1,000 to the Rescue Orphanage, of Charleston. His ex ecutors are to settle up all of his accounts within a year, and they are to provide for the building of the orphanage home, which will be locat ed near Sumter. Orphan children from Sumter county will be given preference to the home and after they havQ been supplied, then the next nearest counties will be permitted to send children to the home. This bequest is in striking contrast with many that are made. Mr. Crosswell was liberal during his life time to many benevolent causes, and the large estate he accumulated is to be used for caring for orphan child ren instead of being left to some wealthy institution. From his estate real blessings will be bestowed upon the needy. The largest single be quest aside from this was $10,000 to a broMier, and then to other relatives $5,000 each. By his thoughtfulness Sumter county will have an orphanage that will for all time care for orphan children. Besides what Mr. Cross well has left for this purpose his es tate will receive yearly large sums in royalties, all of which will gc to the orphanage. Since 1919, productivity per wago earner in the United States has in creased 53.5 per cent as compared with a gain of but 4.7 per cent from 1899 to 1919.? L. P. Alford, Vice president, American Engineering Council. Self government is predicated upon the fact that every responsible citi zen will take his part in the creation jf law and that he will also take his part in the obedience to law and selec tion of officials and methods for its onforccment. ?
