There is hope for a boy until he
begins to comment on his father's' ig

Another sign of returning sanity is
the big cut in the salaries of moving
picture actors.
Ami now the west is astonished at
fhe things that happen in the wild and
wooly east.
There is no place like home ? when
the neighbor's children come over to
spend the. afternoon.
Here is something else to laugh
about. A Britisher says Americans
have nt> sense of humor.
Some people who have nothing else

newest revolution in Mexico.
There is a man here in town who
has had the same cook for more than

There ale said to be 1 l,lO0,000 tele

Another trouble with the fashion

NKCKO BARHEK LEAVES "ESTATE
Whitener, of Laurena, by Frugility
< Accumulated Much Property.
Laurens, Jan. 2. ? Will Whiten*;)'.,
negro, barber, why recently died at
hi* home in Laurens, left an estate
variously estimated at $20,000 to $35,
000 This is not a large fortune, but
when it is considered that Whitener,
through industry and sheer frugality,
?AV?4 out of his daily fees as a pro
prietor of a barber shop in a town the
?i'/p of Laurens, more than $18,000 in
msh, now on deposit in the different
I/auks here, and from the name sou rcr
of revenue had accumulated realty
and other property values of an equal
v aim , the story of hif success takes
on added interest. And it is under
stood thut there are no claims against
the estate, \vhieh is another point
somewhat out o fthe ordinary, com
pared with the average estate that
cornea up for settlement these days.
Whitoner came to Laurens U8 years
ago from Newberry and formed a
partnership with another negro bar
ber and opened a shop. Those who
were familiar with his system of run
ning bin shop say that Whitener ai
the end of each week set aside the rent
money, paid other expenses and if
any thing remained out of the week's
revenue it was deposited in the bank.
It was the saving habit that made
Whitener independent. Meantime, he
educated two of his own children and
sent two other members of his race
to college, ^it is related. In addition
to his savings, it is understood that a
daughter carried a policy for $5,000
on the life of Whitener.
The board of appraisers, named by
the executor of the will, has not fin
ished its work.
A Remarkable Coincidence.
A five ye nr old white bov was rnn
over and killed by a car driven by a
negro in Florence on Christmas day.
It is a coincidence that the little boy's
nanie was Joe Dens; his -father is Joe
Deas, and the negro who killed him is
.Joe Deas.
The verdict of tin- coroner's jury
was that *M?e Deas, Jr., came to his
de.^.th -a:; h result pf reckless, careless
:.m<! unlawfu driving oil llie part of
one Joe Dcajs, colored."
'J lit L:?gro escaped. While officers
were trying to catch him their car
collided with another car and several
t?: ? >p'e v.e.e painfully injured. One
little boy, Will Byrd, Jr., of Augusta,

The negro was later captured in
FiQieme county, whej'e he was in h lei -

Editor of The Chronicle: Your last
issue, contained a lettr^ from aonio
motor driver mating that it was not
necessary to indicate a right hand
turn with the hand. I cannot agree
with him. ?
The following Mignal.s are in com
mon use:
The hand extended, all fingers show
ing marks a right hand turn, slow
down or stop. The hand extended) in
dex finger only showing, indicates a
left hand turn. The hand extended
with the palm held backward means
that the driver intends to back. These
signals are used whether the car has
a left or right hand drive. The left
hand in the former case and th^ right
hand in the latter. The object ft* in
dicating a right turn is to warn the j
following car that the one ahead is
about to slow down so as to make the i
turn.
There is also another thing to re- |
au'M her. All vchielcs shall give the ]
right of way to other vehicles ap
preaching at intersecting highways :
from the right and shall have the
right of way over those approaching
from the left, Also that whenever
traffic officers are stationed, they
shall have full power to . regulate
traffic irrespective of the foregoing.
Another Driver. *
The government closed its financial
books for the year on December 31,

treasury in the calendar year 1922.
Its expenditures were $3,888,0611,082,
leaving a net balance of $270,842,518.
