proposition before the chamber of

he ready to come to Camdi n at any
time to discuss his plans further. It
looks to us li'ke an excellent oppor

will interest themselves. One local

Encourage Investments
There are two ways to encourage i
?investments in industrial undertak- j
:ngs. One is the alx>lition of the tav
? xompt privilege r-n certain public j
bonds and the <qual taxation of nil]
investments. The oilier is the reduc j
tion of taxe- now so heavy that, tax- i
exempt bonds m cm ti e only way ( i j
nyest a large income.
The important thing is to keep the
n ifion'- money at productive work,
j ust as the nation's nu n and women
m :ul -machinery of eveiy kind .should
?he at work. the result of equal tax-j
at ion tax reduction is that money
flow, into indu-tiy, thui making aj

CARRAWAY FOl'M) GUILTY
Sumter County Fanner lieu I Small
Step-Son To Death
John Carrawuy, 20 -y oar-old Sum*
ter County farmer was found guilty
of mflinMnushtor with recommend a -
liun to me ivy of the court hy a jury
in general sessions court Thursday
night a/tci more than two hour*'
deliberation, Carniway wan charged
with murder in connection' with the
death of hi* is-months-old step- son,
l.aMFju* I.'H-klnii, who died in
Florri.i i hospital on June 22, lust,
it i * i ? ? k uljtegwj l>y tht- ?ute tha*.
the death of the child was caused by
hiutal bcrit ings administered l?y Car
ra way.
Attorney *'? M- Tiuluck, for the de
fence, made a stirring plea for his
client. With tears in his eyes, thU
i i s i i k vyoung attorney, urged th'.?
jutui* to bring ill a vcrdict of not
guilty and send Canawuy home t-j
U < family. The testimony of the
dnctoj s that the child was suffering
from clioHtis and was in a very weak
and mn down condition was dwelt On
by .Mr. Truluck.
Solicitor Frank MeLeod, prosecut
ing the case, was equally vehement
in his plea foi a verdict of guilt.
i|e denounced ('arraway in the most
scathing terms. He said the accuses!
was nothing more than a brute of
the lowest order," who flilled up on
mean, coin liquor and proceeded, to
abuse his family, not even sparing
a young and innocent child. A man
that will do a thing like Unit is bead
ed straight fur hell and damnation,
said the solicitor.: ? Sumter Item, Oct.

Success
The most successful man 1 ever
Knew died without enough money i
to pay his funeral evpenses. The!
newspapers mentioned the fact of I
his death, but omitted adjectives/
This man had lived without acquaint
anee with vice. lie )vn<i worked . hai d,
paid his dihi<, taught his family to
enjoy living and taught his children
Tv UoTtr His burden* we:e p reasure.*.

Why do we tail men of fins type
failures? In what partieular have
?ih<\ faili-d-V We do ' hot say thai
a physician lias fai'ed because he has
writti n no poetry or that a banker
has failed because he cannot shoe i
horse. We cannot measure the d<*f
glee of a man'- Mirce-i until -we leai .r
where h;< goal lies.
The popular understanding of su<>
cc.is is the getting: ?>f money or fame.
It might almost l>e said that tin*
popular understanding ? ot* success is
the getting of money, for there is
little respect for a fame that cannot
l>e used as a means of acquiring
money.. Fame is advertising, and ad
vertising may be cashed at the paying
teller's window.
The man who acquires great wealth
i successful in that particular. If
wealth was his goal he dcst'iTes
credit. Hut if he had no other goal
ami accomplished nothing more he did
not make successful use of his brains.
If mere getting is success, why
deny honor to the safe cracker?
Is a man a success if he gct^ money
by methods that lose him the respect
of his fellows and give him no pleas
u 1 1 '.n his own society ? Is he a suc

THIS WEEK
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub
lished as expressions of opinions
of i the world'* highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle doea not
necossarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
Our ( rops arc worth billions every
year. That's encouraging. In our
.mint-* and oil wells arc hundreds of
billions- stored away, and that's en
couraging-. \ ? .
The unused water power of this
nation is worth tens of billions, and
other tens of billions for irrigation
afterward. That's encouraging, and
also the fact that in the atmosphere
above there arc endless billions worth
of nitrogen,' which can be brough* |
down by electrical power.
Hut there is- a greater wealth, and
its figures more important.
One single city, New York', has
for the first time in its history more
than one million children enrolled in
its. public school classes.
That is the real wealth of today,
and the real power of the future.
Take away these children, and this
, country, . with all its mines, .water
power and fertile soil, would amount
to as little as it did when a few In
; dians possessed it and spent their
time murdering each other.
j At the Genesee, N. Y., fair Lit u
i teiianUflovemor Lowman arranged to
ride one mile on the back of a five
ton elephant.
The farmers doubtless laughed, as
j they saw 150 pounds of human being
J carried by 10,000 pounds of elephant.
A 10,000-pound elephant will carry
on its head one mahout, to guide the
back an Knglish gentleman eager to
kill a tiger without giving that tiger
a chance to kill him.
Consider the gap between Kublai
i Khan arid automobile manufacturers
; who give you a for few dollars a little
machine that will carry seven people
f??rt> miles an huur. lairying more
j than i t ^ own weight in freight.
If our progress in thinking hail
i equalled our progress in transporta
tion, we should be better off than we
are.
Riding ovej the desert lands, des
tined to he the world's most buautifu!
i garden, from Colorado to Arizona you,
could not resist buying land, hoping
in live there sonw day; at the end of
! your mighty dollar hunt in the East.
Nothing grows until you irrigate.
I And when yo.u irrigate everything
I will glow.
I * '
! Do you put fertilizer or lime on
j Mojave Desert- alfalfa? Not an ounce
I of either. Alfalfa loots go down
! eighteen feet through soil washed
I
: down from mountains made up of
.lime, minerals and centuries of grow
j ing and decaying bunch grass, grease
! wood and sagobrush. You can cut
j your alfalfa s?even times a year for
j fifteen or twenty years; then plant
it again, irrigate it. and nature does
! the rest.
The ^o:l also produces democracy.
! Any man with a hundred million dol
j lars who think* he is better than
! some other American should go there,
i He would gather valuable informa
' tion.

HENRY SAVAGE
CAMDEN, S. C.
Debt Stackers Scored by Judge
"A man is not honest if he indulges
in extravagances while he is in de6t,"
said Judge H. H. Watkins, of Ander
son, in his charge to the grand jury
at the opening erf United States Dis
trict couit yesterday morning. The
judge classed such a man as a thief
and said that he differed from the
ordinary thief only in that he did not
do his dishonest work under cover of,
darkness.
The present crime wave was blamed
on a general decline in moral sense,
said the judge, and blamed many
modern comforts, such as the auto
mobile, for contributing their part to
the condition.
"A person is not honest when h?
runs a Ford and does not provide
satisfactorily for the support of his
family," added the judge.
Harking: back into the country's
history Judge Watkins reminded tb?
jurors of the sacrifices that have beea
necessary to the growth of the coun
try and emphasized that it wa8 the
duty of every citizen to do his or her
best to uphold the governmental
structure thus formed. ? Greenville
