Clay Murphey, realtor of Macon, Cia., who returning after a six weeks inten sive study of the land market there, predicts in an interview ip The Macon Telegraph that the bubble will soon burst. Mr. Murphey said he based his pre* diction on the sudden plunge of the market into a highly speculative pe riods declaring that "the subdivision game is greatly overdone,"-and thai "it is easier to make a bad trade than a good one" in Florida prop erty. Fortunes have been made in Flor ida dirt, as is a well known fact.' Much of the development there is of a substantial nature, and some sec tions are exceedingly prosperous. Hut the present prosperity in Florida is due principally to the active real es tate market. When, as seems to be the case in Florida, the market goes beyond the investment stage and be comes purely speculative, it likewise becomes exceedingly dangerous foi the average speculator. The Macon realtor is quoted as say ing that sixty per cent of the sales in the boom districts are between brokers or agents, and eighty per cent of the purchasers buy to resell only, not for development. They are trying to unload now before the re action comes. "Real etate speculators and opera tors constitute the leading industry in Florida boom towns now," Mr. Murphey continues, "and occupy fully one-third of all the ground-floor story and office space. The conservative life insurance companies and banks will lend only a small percentage on the values asked, and only in limited areas." Fortunes are sometimes in ficti tious values, as fortunes have been made in Florida recently. But for tunes are also lost if the turn over is not made quickly when the values are fictitious. Florida's present pros perity, it appears, has been brought about not by actual increase of prop erty values, but principally by the outside money that has been attract ed for purely speculative purposes. The speculators are preying upon and feeding off of one another, which can not continue. Many South Carolinians have been lured to Florida by the promise . of getting rich quick. The hope is in dulged that they have taken advan tage of the inflated values wind pros pered. .The writer is reminded, how ever of a trip he made, several years ago, to the Texas oil fields, from which bo#>m section came glittering stories of men gotting rich overnight and fortune smiling benignly upon all. In Texas he found that only the stories of exceptional'successes were sent out. The story of the over whelming number of fortune-hunters who, many of them, walked back home, was not told because it was too ordinary a circumstance to re late". For sound investment the time to buy real estate is on .steady, substan tial market, and the intrinsic value and merit of South Carolina lands and city real estate offei's, if not the chance of getting rich overnight, that which is better?safety and security from awakening one morning, to find oneself with an empty bag to hold.

M.KA8K IN WASHINGTON Could Nut Cmuk* a Itipple on Waters Already Churning Washington, I). C.? No one ov^r thought that Colo L. Blease, of South Carolina, of fire-and-brimstone fame, could enter Washington public life so quietly. Perhaps he has been un fortunate in reaching the capital af ter (Jen. Billy Mitchell, of the air service, and (Jen. Charley OawcB, of the vice presidency. There has been so much noise and clatter under the big dome on Capital If ill recently thin ''Colo" Blease just slipped into his place in the senate chamber on in auguration day and, naturally he could not eauSe a ripple on waters al ready thinning into wildly lashing waves. Hut Senator Blease is here, and in his place every day, and now and then some visitor in the gallery suddenly remembers to ask about him. He is pointed out as a mild ^appearing man, decidedly slender in staturo and weav ing a modest gray business suit. The fierce black hair and black mous tache of the old days are turned to iron gray and a pair of rather mild eyes look through the hornrimmed glasses which pinch a somewhat Nordic nose. The Blease head is held back in the manner of men who wear such glasses?and generally wear them too far down on the nose.\ A lot of water has flowed under the. bridge since Cole Blease used to make the welkin ring down in the old Palmetto state. His arch enemy, Woodrow Wilson, has gone to his last reward, but Cole has not forgotten the ancient grudge he bore the war time president. He has served no tice quietly upon his < colleagues? served it in writing as a matter of fact?that his mind will not go along with them in the furtherance, of anything that is left of the Woodrow Wilson plans for international agree mentt. But Senator Blenso is not going to bo a Democratic insurgent. Ho' is not going to be La Follette. Instead, ho likes to picture himself us a sort of Democratic Borah?a man *.lisvi?*?? ? ful of the party leadership which would dray you around by the npse, make you play dead, roll Over and jump through the hoop. Senator Blouse is jealous of his right of self determination. He is naturally dem ocratic and subscribes to all of tho old-time Democratic principles, but his is a pit' Wilson democracy> and he wants nothing to do with 'new fangled foreign entanglements. 'Cole' is sorry that he could not have rid den with the brave "battalion of doyth' when it was buttling the league of nations and the treaty of Versailles to their graves. It is hard to think of a man from the hills -of South Carolina hunting with the elephants of the Grand Old Party, but 'Cole' would gladly have aligned himself with Borah and Lodge and Johnson and Brandcgee and Mct'ormick to kill any and all of the works of Wood row Wilson. This would be bravo indeed, for few persons in the North realize what a Republican means in South Carolina. One hoars much of tho tro menduous landslide which swept Cal vin Coolidge into office last Novem ber. Tho C'oolidge vote in South Carolina was exactly 1,123. In 1920 something like 2,244 South Carolin ians had the hardihood of temerity to vote for Warren G. Harding. Washington had heard that Sena tor Blease had grown much quieter these past seven or eight years. When he first won the primaries last au tumn there arose visions of another 'Pitchfork' Ben Tillman, fur it was felt that 'Cole' was a modern dis ciple of the old pitchfork school. But nowadays, as he moves about on tho floor of the Senate, exchanging greet ings with his colleagues, tho junioi senator from South Carolina conveys no impression of won smoldering fires within, but the man who oiuv called a Democratic secretary of war a 'pug nosed little Yankee" and a Democratic secretary of thy nuv> ' a "wry small man" wtill must have possibilities which the senate will not rare to overlook. Mr. and .Mrs. Bradley Injured (.ireenwood, March 'JU. Wyatt \Y. Bradley, statu hank examiner, and Mrs. Bradley were badly, though not dangerously, injured here late this afternoon when the automobile they occupied somersaulted from the Ah bov.iil?-(ireenwood highway down a slight t nylmnkment of the Southern railway tracks'. Mr. Bradley sustain ed a fractured Or dislocated left shoul der and possibly broke his .left arm, attending physicians said after a bur* j ?vied examination. Mrs. Bradley sus tained a sprained left wrist and minor bruises. Both insisted on being re turned to Abbeville, where thoy might be carried to the hospital there, ami only hurried examinations were made here, Mrs. Bradley Was carried bac.k to Abbeville by friends, while Mr, Hradley was carried in an ambulance. Eyewitnesses to the mishap say the Bradley car left, the paved roadway and turned over when the frout wheel of the ear ran off the pavement as Mrs. Bradley, who was driving, at -. tempted to pass a car ahead of her. | After the wheel left the roadway .she attempted to bring the car off the pavement and in so doing used so much force that the machine swerved across the road and down the em bankment. "Banks lose $200,000,000 annually through forgery and embezzlement," says Edward E. (Jore, eminent ac countant. Bonding companies, he said, arc more concerned with get ting back the money than jailing the offender. you a Veres your oil It meets the peculiar needs of the Ford engine and transmission. It , is an oil that will thoroughly lu bricate every working part. It is refined especially to suit the speed, clearances and lubrication system of the Ford power unit and is not sold for use in any other car. "Standard" Polarine Motor Oil for Ford cars is the result of several years of special laboratory and field tests on this popular car. We have tried it out thoroughly on private cars and on our own fleets of Ford cars with highly satisfactory results. "STANDARD" polarine MOTOR OIL STANDARD OIL COMPANXi#^' -FOR KKTTKK FARM POULTRY No Quarter fur the Non-Producinju lien, Sa>H Hall ('lomson College, March UQ.~?-The old farm hen that lays only fifteen to twenty egjpa each year is the eau.se of the present egg market trouble, The' only person \nc hear yelling now ?is the person who has eggs for wale ?only in the spring. Those people have fed their hens all the year and now they find that they will lay only twenty-cent eggs, says I>. II. Hal', extension poultry husbandman. The remedy for this situation? <'liiI thorn out and keep on culling them out. In the poultry business when a hen quits paying a profit, that is the time to let her go. Sympathy foi the old hen that does not lay takes profit out of the poultry business. Continuing, Mr. Hall says: "U't's get into our flocks now and cull out all -poor producers. The market is now at it.4 highest pe?k for hens and wo can realize a profit by selling our hens and roosters. "What we want and need on om farms in South Carolina is hens that will produce Ml eggs <a year instead of 41. When we get these high pro ducers, profit will come* in the poul try business, and not until then. Swat the non-producer and the best hens will pay a profit." Death of a Fine Young Man Westville, S.
