Tuesday, July 15, 1930 '? , A PATHETIC PICTURE Sunday morning a week ago a trag edy occurivtt at Swansea in Lexing- ' ton county, calculated to stir the deepest emotions. A laid 16 years of age was vactionirig in the south. He came from Washington, D. C., and was driving a car which his father gave him. He was: discovered tanT ipjitiMfrinei with the lock-on an oi) tank at a garage, and the proprietor, who re sided over the filling station shot, he said, to scare the lad, but his bullet took effect in the boy's head and he <H*d a short while afterwards. An ef - ; .V fort Was made to locate the parents of the boy, and they were finally found. The father cajlhe to Columbia to ac company the dead ^boy back home. How his heart must have ached! His only son, off on a vacation in a car he had given him, and nnw the body tak- ; en home to be buried'. His mother was too overcome with grief ?o a c i'v ?vv. company her husband to Columbia, ^ but Waited at home with a grief well? V nigh overwhelming, for the return of : v the body. What a pathetic picture! . vij>v. We of course do not know the par %k, ents of the boy, but our heart goes j jjK out in sympathy U> them Ln their i . : greft sorrow. R& c! ?' HOOKING AHEAD W? are all looking ahead for bet $tf ten times. But really times are not so bad. even now, for there is more to ^;>eat in the country at this time than 1^" there was a year ago, and the crop 4 <0 twos pectus at this time are the best we have had in several years. If the sea ?'j sons are good, until the crops are har- , l^vestgd, and if prices aire good in the. fall when cotton wiLl be marketed, we 0 will all see the . dawning* of a new., day. lOur people have learned a les-. son in economy which will serve them,! -well in the future. There has <^boen j some reduction in the cotton acreage P' throughout the cotton belt, and we ' K&viyrs. -looking to see what'^effoct this is |%g?oin^ to have, on the cotton market. 1 Vlt ifl a good idea to-loOk ahead, hop- j in g and expecting better ."times.

"Officer, made a request of $r.: Richards, that he take up the '_r';?f working of prisoner? on 1 chain gamgs of the state, that they ' not required! to work later than )ut ten o'clock in the mornings and tven a longer rest period during the .'Intensely hot weather we have been 1 'ftttttng.' While the weather was so ' hot last week we frequently | thought of the fellows on the chain f|ang,? Who start out to work at a , yery early hour in the mornings and . work until, about 12 o'clock,, .thcov OOme in for dinner and are soon back t Work, an>& we thought also of the i iuleft that are used on the roads. r.

RAMBLING THOUGHT >. By H. C. II. It grits wuss and wuss: Mi&Mr Ras kob's daughter , has done Ajincd" the "Drya'\ ?" vt^i Master Raskob wants to save a few million dollars taxes, far the Motor Trust, by having: return of the sa loons; whereby the Government tax on whiskey would take the .place of cor poration taxes. I/et the poor ^cols pay the tax. As there are. many more poor folk than rich ones. they would naturally buy more whiskey. Miss RasWob wants to save a few million ipcople from the evils of the saloon. Take your choice. You eith er work for the betterment of the human ra e or you don't. ' A real man never tries to drown his sorrows in liquor. He fights life's uauit-o as r man should: On his two feet and. cold sober. Get this folks: I was at Myrtle Reach Julv 4th, and paw no drunks, ror ne?" drunks and no reckless driv ing1.

They not only need boilimtg, but. they need working over witli an old time ''Battling Stock". Here's more about that "Tolerance' business: Rome, July 2. In an al locutionl delivered at a consistory of the College of Cardinals last Monday Pope Pius XI accused the Italian Gov ernment of passinn legislation favor ing Protestants to the detriment of Catholics and thus aiding the, former in proselytizing efforts steadily pur sued in Italy since the fall of tem poral power in 1870." "The chief cause of the withdrawal by the United of its Ministers accred it I to, the Holy See between 1848 afi' 186.3 was because the Holy See refused to allow a Protestant- Oh ut^h to be' built *n; Rome." r :? *'s. - This is what At&tited "the row: "I-M'oto^ts canvs When Soon after- the rrftific^tl&T "of th?'-:l.^tftrart treaties" (last. y*iir> Parliament; passed -a law extendftn# t^rtfiniBters*of nomcatholic foligionh the light gram tod- to Cathol to'prieat&fcO' celebrate ma rriapfti ijecog '-llijfcaJNus valM by the Italian civil a\l -CHorities* The Vatican maintiahed that this right should b? granted only to Catholic priests in view of thfe -faet that the Catholic srelipion alone is tho Itali&ini state religion.

It might bo well to remember that the Pope at Rome is spokesman for tho Catholic Church; Not Tammany Hall. Rome is the "Babylon" referred to In ^Revelations, All Catholic writers admit it.

Mr. Harris, who is trying to crowd Mr. Blease off the chicken roost, says the record .*hows that Mr. Blease wrote a letter to President II cover requesting him not to remove Mr. Tolbert as head of the Republican faction in South Carolina. Mister Tolbert has long been used by fiouth Carolina politicians as the "bogey man" that would surely .jot you if y:nj did not vote the straight < emocratic ticket. Without Tolbert as a horidblo ex ample of republicanism, how can the Noters be kept in, line? On the other rand, with Tolbert eliminated, Mr. Blease would have to make a new ?c?aj with the new "republican* boss" about distribution of patronage. Mr. B lease? democrat ? had little influ ence with a republican president, so he was compelled to join- hands with Tol b'-?rt in order to Ket any partronage for h'.s friends.

A Sensation in Motor Oil Refining A Remarkable New Motor Oil is Announced by The Texas Company j It has been known for some years that changing engine designs unci driving conditions were making fn cieasingly heavy demands upon the motor llbricr.'.vts. Oil refiners have made every effort to perfect new oils lif . better >?<Jy qualities to enable ^horn to stand up and provide effect ive lubrication. The problem has bcen to provide an oil with the necessary tougher, longer-lasting body and at ,tno same time not eacrfice arty of the o|^r. qualities sUi&j&ft purity,, and the ( ability to flow an>d lubricate at y.ero.

I The oil presents the combined ef forts of the marketing* and technical divisions of The Texas Company to , produce an oil of pronounced super - jiority incorporating the highest at tainable devlopment of all the desir able qualities a motor oil should havf? for maximum performance under ah engine conditions. j It is refined from a special soleeti on ;of the major crudes to give greater viscosity at higher operating temper Atufers with a lower viscosity at low temperatures, and " at the same time ( retain the exceptionally low carbon Residue content which - has always (characterized Texaco Motor Oil in the ph&t.
