Friday, Oct. 2, 1N25. lieutenant Ihidley Ilaselden, one of thri officers reported lost on the sunk en submarine S-51 off Block Island, Jt. L, last Friday night, was from Dillon, S. - ....L.i The friend* of Judge M. L. Bonham ? >f Anderson have offered his name lor one of the vacancies on the supremo bench. He has the endorse ment of the Anderson bar. It will be recalled that Judge Bonham was defeated by Judge Marion for the supreme bench by a small lead a feW ye at 8 ago. ; Fletcher C. Newman, a farmer liv ing three miles uouthwcVt of -Kwit*W Hill, was shot to death while sitting in his tobacco barn last Wednesday. Two loads from a shot gun -were fired, the first taking effect in the back of Newman's head, and the second in his face and chest. Tabe Weathorford and a man named Turn age were held for the killing. After very few minutes of delibera tion by the jury Wednesday after noon, Henry (Jatlin, prominent Lee County farmer, was declared not guilty upon the charge of murder. (Jatlin sh'6t and killed Tillman Field*,: son of another substantial Lee County j farmer. The shooting occurred in front of Mr. ();itlin's home in the Ash land section on July h, this year, and the coroner's jury held Oatlin for the! crime. ? ? Killing The Farmers' Iriend When an low a farmer complaincd that thre ? pheasant* were eating hi> corn, the game department k i 1 K-<i two of the birds, examined their Hops and found -??{) cutworms ? and no corn. Almost without exception, when the scientists investigate such cases they ?find the same results. The farmer owes his crop to the feathered polico that keep down the bugs, insects and -worms. With continuing slaughter ol every form of bird life, the. infect lo<a will bo heavier and farm work hard er. The nation could tiain an army of rifle men in a comparatively short time but it couldn't in a century re store the bird armies that are the; farmers' allies in raising: food to feed the country. Insisted on Discount A train in Arizona was boarded by robbers, who went through the pockets of Lite luckless passenger:'. One of them happened to be a travel ing salesman from New York, who, when his turn came, fished out $2,000, but rapidly took four dollars from the pile and placed it in his vest pocket. "What do you mean 1>> that?" asked the robber, as he toyed with hi-, re vol v. Hurriedly came the an.swe*': ".Mine fivnt, you surely would not refu-?' m.' two per zent discount on a strietiy < ;.-h transaction like di>?" Sttini:, Hut Didn't hnn?

' Cs THIS WEEK By Artlmr BriifcM* Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub lished as expressions of opinions of the world's highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle doe# not necessarily endorse all of his views and ooncluskms. What does the work! need? Thousands of preachers, standing on the shore of time and peering into eternity with the strong authority that their vocation gives them try to answer the question. Here arc u few answer# made in the pulpits last Sunday: The Kev. Henry Howard: The Bib!e is now on the shelf, not enough fam ily prayers. Not enough religion <n schools-? .time proves it. Rev. C. ftyerett Wagner, Methodist Episcopal: Too much preaching of hell fire. Too much parading of wickedness instead of talking about goodness. Too much tempting listen ers by describing in detail the. things that the wieked do. Kev. Dr. Sookman: Too much t _ ; * shifting about from place to place. Too much roaming. The people be coming nomadic can't settle down. Rev. Dr. S. PI. Young, says voters neglect their duty. They could make this Republic anything that they chose to make it if they would take th.e trouble to do it. Perhaps that is solemn truth. Kev. John Roach Straton, who would willingly help lynch our mod ernists if his conscience would let him, says we need more revivals, That's proved by the fact that there were ten thousand 'murders and only a few . hangings and electrocutions in this country last year. He saw two holdups in Chicago in one short visit. Rev. Paul C. Warren: We need modern prophets to interpret the old truths in the pew and in the pulpit. More purity of heart and strength of conviction will bring the millenium. But Uev. Charles Francis Potter, prominent Unitarian, says we need a brand new religion, and he proves his sincerity by resigning from his job. It is very enlightening to read twenty or thirty sermons a week. If you would like a pet bison you can get one from the Government. Too many of the big animals are in Yellowstone Park, so 100 of them are offered free to citizens that will pay the cost of catching and expressing. The Government has proved that the "dying bison" can be brought back to life. Perhaps the Govern ment will do as much for the dying and vanishing forests, much more important than the picturesque bison. .Miss Fay I^anphier, young Cali fornia girl, who "easily and natur ally" won the beauty crown of "Mi-js America" says, "Marriage -won't in terfere with my career." Of course not. The real business of human be ings on this earth is to make it a little better while they are here, and hand on what ability they have to future generations, that they also may work. Good qualities, as heredity proves, are handed on by women. And the woman whose program does not in clude marriage can't possibly have a complete career, no matter what the feminists may say. In a chain, the link that breaks is nut the successful link. It lias been suggested here occa sionally. during the past ten years, that architects should have their minds on landing roofs for flying machines. Now Chicago, about to build a $ lo, 000, 000 post office, will ask Congress to approve a building, two city blocks long with a landing roof for the flying mail. That would cut Hn hour off the mail flight from Chicago to New York. Not far in the future will come the new city, one building devoted to one single business, with a landing roof for buyers and soliers, and em ploycs flying to work in the morning and flying back at night. The great "congested traffic prob lem" may be solved from the roof before it is solved in the streets. However, don't let that discourage you about good real estate. The great stock ranches of the Panhandle district are being cut up into cotton farms. Stock land that -ohl from r?0 cents to $2 an acre now brings from $20 to $-10 a* cotton land.
