At the opening of the .court' of
general sessions in Sumter this week
Judge Wilson in his charge to the
grand jury vaid that there were en
tirely too many violations of the pro
hibition law in that county* In their
present ment the grand jury requested
that the judge impose sentences in
stead of fines in all eases of this
character. Judge Wilson replied that
he wanted to do everything in his
power to break up the liquor traffic
but that it would not be right for
a judge to set an inflexible rule of
chain gang sentences for every con
viction. There are certain cases, he
said, where it would seem to be bet
ter to impose a fine or a suspended
sentence because of the youth of the
defendant or for some other good
reason. In the court held in Camden
this week C. V. (.? a!lo\va\', said to
be an o!d offender, who operates a
store east of Camden on the Hish
opville road, entered a plea of guilty
to violating the prohibition law and
was given a sentence of nine month
on tiie chain gar.g-? <ix| to be sus

THIS WEEK
\i By Arthur Briibnf
Mr. Brisbane'# editorials are pub
lished as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle doe* nut
nei essarily endorse all of his
vifjvs and conclusions.
The Farmer'* Share
The agricultural department shows
that in 1024 the farmer a averaged a
profit of 21 cents a bushel on wheat
and 2K cents a bushel on corn. Many
lost money on every bushel, others
made more than the average. '
Farmers that rained potatoes on
the average actually lost money, and
would have been better off if they
hadn't planted a potato.
A good wheat speculator, knowing
that the prosperous class wanted La
Follette badly beaten, and Was sure
to put up the price of wheat, could
easily buy a million bushels of wheat
early in the campaign and sell it
| at a profit of one million doilars.
It was a lucky farmer that could
raise five thousand bushels of wheat
and sell it at a profit of one thou
sand dollars.
CoAlicige on the Radio
No iiihji can guess what power to
speak well over the radio may mean
in years to come.
The other night bridge parties laid
down their cards, women on farms]
stopped tfle late cleaning up of dishes,
their husbands came in from even
ing chores, tens of millions listened
to the president's clear, incisive mat
ter of fact voice, discussing in plain
fashion the importance of national
economies and laying ?down, . to the
satisfaction of overy hearer, the sim
ple truth that the people's money be
longs to the people.
? It was an innovation when Wood
row Wilson, so perfectly dressed,
drove to the Capitol and talked di
rect to senators, representatives, the
supreme court and others.
"Wonderful audience," the world
said.
But it was no audience at alt com
pared to ?he vast multitude that heardt
President Coolidge talk, direct to thcA
people of the United States.
The 21-Ounce Dress x
Proof that the complete costume of
a modern woman, including dress,
stockings, shoes and underwear, may
weigh as little as 21 ounces causes
"the virtuous to grieve. Hut. even as
woman in her changing moods cuts
! off her dress at top and bottom, there
i may be comfort. The low-necked dress
j is partially justified by this fact,
! to which your doctor will testify:
Cancer attacks women more often
: than men, and cancer of the breast,
i dreadfully frequent in civilized coun
j tries, is quite unknown among fe
male savages that wear no clothing
above the waist. Sunshine seems to
I keep cancer away.
j Amundsen is back from "almost
; to the Pole," and if he lives and
I can raise the money he will start
again. His ambition is to be the
[only man that ever stood ''on both
! tops of the earth."
In Knglish coal mines, mechanical
! cutters and carriers of coal are driv
j ing out men by the thousands..
"The truth shall set you free,"
' says the .Bible. Science is the truth,
? and you realize what science has dope
! to set humans free when you look,
I ^t the pictures of women that used
> to work in English coal mines, crawl-'
ing on their hands and knees through
the narrow passages, an iron chain
' around their nrck>. pacing under
1 their bodies and fastened to a small
coal ca r.
Turn from that picture of a wo
mar pulling coal on her hands and
, knees to a modern mechanic ai coal
> carrier. moved by electricity.
