I TIME TO RENOVIZE AGAIN
Last spring a good many Ameri
can communities inaugurated reno
vation campaign s7 during which lo-.J
cal citizens were urged to have their]
property inspected, and Make necess
ary and valuable additions, . alterat
ions and repair*
The campaign provided thousands
of jobs. It sent money through a|
hundred major industries. Essential
improvements were obtained at a
fraction of what they would have|
cost a few years earlier.
This spring and summer should
eee additoinal oampaings of the same
order. The need for employment is
almost as great as it was a year ago.
Tho construction industry is still lag^
ging behind ibusiness in general.
That peeling paint ? the leaky roof!
? that ancient wiring which presents
a constant fire hzard ? that outmoded!
heating plant ? that old plumibing
that rickety garage ? those cracked
steps ? now is tho time to fix and
change them. It doesn't matter
whether you have ten dollars to
spend or ten thousand ? in either case
you are doing your bit to spur re
covery, and you are getting bargain |
value*. - > i
BLOCKING FUTURE DEPRESSION
The A/mcrican people, consciously or'
not, aro busy erecting a mighty bar
rier against the possibility of future
depressions.
They are doing that by buying life
Insurance ? and more life insurance.
The trend of sales has been steadily
upward for a number of months. Men
are finding jobs. Many families are
enjoyir .-ogWlar and definite in
comes lor the first fcime in years.
And life insurance, through on? or
anothor of the many policies it
writes, is aWfi to guard against
most any human exigency. It pro
tects oi)e's family and dependents ? -
and it likewise protects oneself n
gainst one of tho greatest of all hum
an trar*fHos, a poverty-stricken old
eg*. It rebuilds depleted estate* ?
or creates now ones. It assures an
education for ono's child/en? and it
covers lose in case of business re
verses.
Life insurance is the friend of
good times. It is the unrelenting
enemy of depression. During tho
five trying years that have passed it
"has carried thousands of farrtiliei
throygh economic storms, and kqpt
them from want and distress. And,
with *|fiore cttirens showing greater
realisation of its possibilities, it will
do 'ft still finer work in the future to
MMU* financial independence.
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
One j^thu (perplexing political
problerira of the day is thai of cam
paign expenditures. Bow. - audi
should a candidate for office beper
mtitted to spend in behalf of Ida Can
didacy.
* Some of the Amounts expended by
recent candidates for the Senate
seem unreasonably large, and in
some casee investigations of cam- 1
paign funds have resulted in the
barring of successful candidates. H
such investigations are to% be con
tinued, and they doubtless will be," it
seems that there should be a law
definitely fixing the maximum a
mount that may be spent, as is dont
in somo states with respect to stat.
offices.
With our ever growing number ot
voters it takes a lot of money to
reach every voter in the larger statst
with even one piece of campaign iu
erature. In New York state there
are about five million voters. If a
single piece of literature were sent
to each of these, and the cost of each
?piece, including postage, printing ana
addressing, were only five cents, u
would take a quarter of a million
dollars to do the job. This sum
would^ leave little margin for the ex
pense of compiling lists, travel for
speechmaking, newspaper advertis
ing or other expenditures insepar
able from an aggressive campaign.
In Illinois and Pennsylvania the
number of voters is approximately
one-third less than in New York, so
it would take about $200,000 to reach
each voters with one piece V>f cam
paign literature and leave a small a
mount for other expenses in either
oi these great states*
These figures would only cover
(primary expenses, while in all three
states mentioned there would be ad
ditional outlays necessary incident to
tho general elections.
All of which illustrates how futile
it i9, generally speaking, for a poor
man without rich supporters to
aspdr? to high office*
A WEDDING WRITE-UP
Most newspaper men shrink from
the task of wrting up a wedding and
prefer to pass that responsible duty
to the female society editor. Yet
there are exceptions. Occasionally
an editor is found who can paint a
word picture of nuptial events that
any lady "reporter might envy.
AWe discovered one like that who
appears to be hiding his great talents
<in an obscure Kansas town, while he
ought to be holding down a big City
job. Here is a sample of his literary
ability, which proves oui {Mint:
"It was a wonderful wedding. Tho
girl was as sweet as any girl who
ever lived; but modern. As she
walked up the aisle on hex fathers
arm, her lips lightly tilted at the
corners with a happy smile, she was
a picture of modest beauty. Her
filmy wedding gown and gossamer
veil floated around her fair blond
head like a halo. She was as "nearly
an angel ae girls get to be in this
world. At the altar, as she passed
from her father, the man she always
loved, to the other man to whom she
would devote the rest of her life, her
dainty slipper touched a potted lily
resting on the floor and turned it ov
er. Smiling again, she turned to the
dear old pastor waiting at the Chan
el and said: 'That was a hell of a
place t<i put a lily*. "
NOTHING QUITE RIGHT
i
Of course there is nothing that is
just right in this world. Evejr since
tho world 'was made, men havs been
trying to make it right, but have nev
er succeeded and I hardly think they
evei will
So long as we have a world there
will be the poot and the unfortunate
to make u<s f?^l sorry, there will be
fcho wilfully indolent who will not
work, there will be thoee In high
places ready to take advantage of
all those lower down in th? scale.
Tho scale will never be even, no mat
ter how hard some men may try to
make it square and true. Think of
this and do the best you oa? with
things as you find them. ? The Horry

State Hospital Is
Now Overcrowded
Dr. C. F. Williams, superintendent
of the South Carolina State Hospital
at Columbia, has sent out .the follow
ing resolutions passed by the Iboard
of regents at its regular meeting on
Way 10, 19? 4, which are signed by
Christie Benet, chairman, Frank H.
Barnwell, A. W. Reynolds* Daniel L.
Sinkler and J. E. Sirrine:
"Whereas, the maximum capacity
of the South Carolina State Hospital,
according to the principles of modern
sanitation as approved by the State
Board of Health, is 2,903, and
"Whereas, due to the unusual econ
omic conditions existing in the state,
the 'Board of Regents and the author
ities of the hospital have allowed this
population to increase to 3,500, and
"Whoreas, it is apparent that such
number is too great to permit of
proper treatment of those already in
the hospital and that further admis
sions will bo unfair to the person for
whotn admission is sought and also
for those patients already in the hos
pital, and !
"Whereas, the Board of Regents
and tho authorities feel that their
first duty is to those already In the
hospital and that then every effort
be made to provide beds for violent
cases for whom admission may be
sought, hereafter,
"Therefpre, Be It Resolved, by the
Board of Regents that the maximum
number of patients, to (be Cared for
by the hospital, until additional ac-?
commodations be had, shall not ex
ceed 3,4f)0.
"Further, that the Superintendent
is directed to only accept cases whose
condition is extreme and in no ease
to allow an ad7nis?ion where, in his
opinion, the proper housing and
treatment of such patient is impos
sible, or where the population, ac
cording to race or sex, is already so
overcrowded! that the welfare of those
now in tho hospital will be jeopardi

i ABOVE. Primitive farming
methods are still in us* in
much of France. Not* the

uses. (Photo bjr Ewing Gal

Some Farming Facts and Figures
FRANCE is figuring in the news
in many ways these days. First
we hear that its wine merchantrtrrs"
happy over the big business'that
they are doing witn the U. S. A.
Then we hear that Frenchmen are
complaining that there will be few
American tourists this summer be
cause the franc has risen from
around 4<f to almost 7<f.
If your geography is rusty, you
may like to be reminded that
France has 212,659 square miles, or
63,237 less than Texas. Its African
colonies, however, are about 20
times as big as France itself. There
are 5,500,000 farm owners in
France, with the average farm con
sisting of 24 acres.
The French peasant is proverbi
ally slow to change his habits. As a
result, many French farming meth
ods have remained unchanged for
generations. The two oxen in the
picture above are drawing a wooden
plow similar to the plows used in
Roman days. An example of the
obstinacy of the French farmer was
seen lately when the French Gov
eminent, knowing the importance
of nitrate of soda in war, put a re
s^rttffeiorLupon imports to build up a
synthetic nitrate industry in France.
The French farmers, tradition
bound, refused at first to believe
that the synthetic nitrate of soda
gave as good results as the product
which they had been using.
Last month, however, an article
in "The Fertilizer, Feeding Stuff
and Farm Supplies Journal" (pul>
lished in London, England), said
that large-scale oflr'ial tests in
France are finally convincing farm
ers that the two kinds of nitrate
give "practically identical results,"
a fact wide-awake Southern farm
ers who use the American nitrate of
soda made at Hopewell, Virginia,
could have told them years ago!
Forty per cent of rural France is
farmed. Over 12,000,000 acres are
in wheat, 8,500,000 in oats, 3,800,000
in vineyards and 3,500,000 in pota
toes. Textiles, iron and steel an^the
big French industries. The popula
tion of greater Paris is over 3, 000, 000.
