C? Friday, Auk. 28, fltl Up until noon Thursday mere had been Weighed 050 bales of new crop cotton by K. A. Ilruce, public weigher, according to Ogurcs released at his office, an compared against one bale of tjiU date a year ago. Other con ditions granted, even this figure in cash means that, with cotton bringing an average price of 22\ cents on' the loeal mat feet, the community i richer by $72,000.00 than on .tbi? date a year ay;o and that Camden' butinen* has, improved in this amount since the opening ??f the cotton reason only two , weeks ago. s 1 - ?? ? ? ?? (?Vrnui Congressman Uyrncjt in an address recently bemoaned t h <v fatft that this state was auto-mad: "It we continue to pay out the value of urn cotton ciop for automobiles, send ing this money out of the state," said VI I. UyVnes, "tJho Lord linow.H where we will get the money to feed and ? 'lot he. our people." Another reason why children of to day arc so wild is that their parents, were rather gay birds themselves, sa? the Spartanburg Sun. If the putrid story coming from ( ?heraw is correct as to the. killing <>? (hat man Rainwater, interest will drt? down in the case. Under the guiso of collecting furniture installments, he was visiting t'he home of a negro wo man and jealousy on the part of ne groes is ascribed as the cause of the man being put to death. 'Oho pity is that the. wife and four children have ro mtYer the stigma. Is It Retribution? It will be remembered that during the past -winter 11 he banks of the low country made an appeal to the banks of the upper part of the state to loan '-thriu Mime money in order to aid the farmers of that section of the stat:* to make a crop. Thelo w country has had about four successive crop fail ure.-, and the banks and farmers were :i t t 1m* end of tiheir row. The up ? uuiiliy banks gave them the "ha-ha." I tut The low count i > ha- had good rmp, ? if all kinds this year and remunera* t ive jii.ii > ha\ e l?c< n received. Po tatoes, cabbage, encumbers, melons, tobacco and cotton have all yielded well, and the low country is now able to take care of itself, while in? tihe upper section <liy weather has pre vailed. .'ill<l little has been produced, and the pf'ce ? > i' the only money croo -cotton -is lu.w -en account of the large yield elsewhere.

Now it has jrotten around to investigating the most va' unble crop of all, the baby crop. What kills babies? We know, from the latest reports- of the census bureau, that 1X7,000 babies less than one year old die every year in this country.' Over half of this appalling numb< r, or !w\ (>(><?, 4'ie in the first month. It does no ?f?od to know this. 1 1 dimply sh??? ks us. To be of any value we must know what are the causes.

THIS WEEK By Arthur BriiU? Mr. Bri8b?ne*H editorials arc pub lished oxpres*ion? of opinions of the world's highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle do o* not ? necessarily ondorse all of his views and conclusions. p The Itadio Miracle The world has never known such u miracle as the miracle of the radio. And no man living knows what radio and moving pictures combined arc destined to do for education. As railroads shortened men's journey's, and telegraphy shortened transmission of mcs&age*, ?o radio and moving pictures will make short er by more than nino-tenths -the tiresome road of knowlodge. MucMillan, .'{,700 miles away in -the* Arctic ieo, is called u|? and inter viewed by radio, answering the Asso ciated PrCss questions with hi* own broadcasting apj>aratus. Later, when he starts flying, Mac Millan will bo able to answer ques tions by radio while in flight. If men can do that now, how soon will they talk through the other to those cosmic flying machines, the planets, floating iu space? No static or other trouble pie* sumably, once you get outside this earth's atmosphere, only about 500 miles deep. Kill At 100 Miles An inventon from New Zealand sends high explosives through the air in torpedoes guided by wireless. These air torpedoes operate as do water-borne torpedoes used to de stroy battleships at sea. And the New Zealand- air torpedo can be launched against an enemy, Hying -ship, battleship or city one hundred miles away and wreck the object against which it is steered by wireless. The United States should get th;ii invention and be ready with it. The motto of this eountrv should bi> : He friendly with the whole world. He ready for the whole world. ..All over the United States the aver age age of man is increasing. Every year saved in adult life moans an increase in the nation's wealth. It costs money to bring up children, as well as effort and anxi ety. In the State of Now York the av erage age has risen from twenty- fout years in 1840 to thirty years now. This means that common sense, sci ence and good doctors have added six years to the average age of every individual. The years are added in the money earning period. Suppose the average adult's work is worth to this nation $10 a day, and that's a low estimate. You can figure out for yourself how much it means in money to add six years to every adult's life. J Cut tin* $10 to $f?. Cut that amount in halt to allow for women and others not working, and you still have a sav ing an increase of national wealth to ' til" tlU'e ot >e\ ent v- li ve millions of d<>! la is a \ ea r . i <)u/> .i civilization ? f interesting conti a.-t*. I* or instance, consider the lath. ? who li\? o hi (wo whitewashed room* in Jerse\ 1 * . t \ . Out <>f work, he was worrying ah? ut feeding seven i < hildivn when the neighbor, called in "t" help his wjfe." annnunciil trip lets, making t h*? number of his rhil dren ten. That father, wait.ng for the trip let- to be born, read about a magnifi ed nt new mausoleum to be built by a combination of churches to cost three and one-half millions, and provide a resting place for corpses, properly embalmed, and put a way in their lit tle niches. That mausoleum will not have whitewashed wa IN. hut a fine marble finish. When churches ask. "Why are we n.>t crowded?" one answer might be, "Hccause, while mothers of children lack decent housing y?_.u build $;{,r>00, ?>00 mausoleums for corp.se.s that might a< well be put in the ground to add to its fertility, or carried up the chimney of the crematory, putting back into the air the nitrogen they trx>k from it."
