THEY are trying to pass an
amendment to keep children
from working. Now -children
didn't want to work, but they got
fired waiting for somebody else to
do it. If they would just put
through an amendment to MAKE
grown people all work, there
would be no need to have this
children one. Grown people stop
ped working without an Amend
ment or even a reason, so it will
fake more than an Amendment
to start them. It will take a

They are going to pass another

Itealty Dealer Says Florida Boom
Cannot Continue Lone
(South Carolina Gazette)
A disastrous slump in Florida real
estate values is foreseen by J. 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.

the old hen that does not lay takes

Continuing, Mr. Hall says:
"U't's get into our flocks now and
