(io After the
Small towns complain ? that bis
uitiw draw all the business from rural
communities. This U a mistaken idea.
All over the country there are, shining
examples to prove that manufactur
ers, publishers, writers, motion pic
ture producers, mill operators ami
tumerouH other productive enter
prises are established, thrive and dis
tribute their products more economi
cally from a small town than from a
populous center. The small town
which will analyze its possibilities and
then go after the business can build |
itself along sound industrial and com*
mercial lines.
The Central Illinois Public Service
Company of Springfield, Illinois, has
issued a folder entitled "Fertile Fields
(or Facories." It has not waited for
rural towus in Illinois to set forth
their advantages, but is going ahead
and showin ghow low production costs
are possible in the communities in
which it operates.
I shows the raw material, trans
portation and manufacturing re
sources in ita. territory . and . gives]
utatements of exe<?tivea from some
of hecountry's largest manufacturing j
plants as to; why they, *s manufact
urers, prefer a smaller city as a fae-J
tory location. In, eVery instance one
of main reasons bited is that living
conditions in the small places average
better than in a big city; there is a
stronger community interest in the
success of he industries; employes
are of a more permanent nature and
own their own homes, thus elimina
ting a large part of toe costly labor
turnover.

example which can be adopted with
profit by wide-awake communities all

Sending Money Away.
We shall never be a rich state as
long as we send so large a proportion
of the money we get for tobacco and
cotton ^o other states for bread and
meat. The freight cost alone is a
bigger tax than is imposed by the
?tate or federal government. Until
we raise our own hog and hominy our
dollars will have legs and run away
to the west to pay for meat, hay and j
flour.? Raleigh News and Observer.
Old Time Honesty.
There was a time, according to
Judge Milledge L. Bonham, when the
fact that a white man in South Caro
lina be brought to trial for stealing
would be looked upou as a disgrace
by everyone. , Ksre indeed were cases
of larceny aud similar crimes ever to
be found on the dockets of South Car
olina courts.
* For years and years, the honor of a
South Carolinian ha* been an honor
above all reproach. Even the severest
critic of our people would claim that
while a South Carolinian might kill
you, -he would not tell you a lie, nor
would he steal from you. That same
thing applies in large measure to
some of the original mountain settle
ments of Carolina today. Many a man
in our mountains perhaps would not
hesitate a moment to do personal
harm of extreme violence to one who
angered or opposed him, but leave
your valuables out before the gaze Of
the whole neighborhood and tbey
would be unmolested. Times may have
changed in many localities, but this
,v?ka certainly the former status^ ?

The United States Navy Band of

sation that plays at all White House
receptions when the President enter
tains, and accompanies the President
when ho is on official tours on tho
Presidential yacht, the Mayflower, is
making its first tour of tho South by
special permission of the officials of
the Navy Department. This tour was
authorized in order that the people
of the Southern States might havo an
opportunity to become acquainted
with one of the really groat musical
organizations of America.
Through the efforts of the Sumter
Rotarv Club Sumter was selected as
one of tho few places in South Caroli
na to bo included in the itinerary of
the band. The Rotary Club guaran
tees the expenses of the band, and if
there is any surplus over and above
the guarantee,, the . Sumter High
School Band v will receive' the entire
sum. The guarantee is only $lr260,
for the two concerts, and as the largo
new auditorium of tho High School
has a seating capacity of 1,040 it is
hoped to realixe sufficient from the
concerts to provide a tine equipment
for the school band. Owing to tho
large capacity of the auditorium tho
admission charge has been made
lower than usual. For the aftornoon
concert the charge for school children
is only 60 cents, for adults $1.00. For

Squirrel I'hw Wires us Overhead ?
Highway.
A telephone wire might be termed
a public highway, but rather a high
way of speech than one. for transpor
tation.
However, this fact does not seem
to be generally known, at least not
among our animal friends. From
Wilmington, Del., comes the story oi
a squirrel that travels a mile every ,
day by telephone wire for its meals, i
crawling all the distance along the j
wires. William Kra.use, a ? grocer,
some little time ago coaxed the squir
re} down from a telephone pole by of
fering it nuts, and since then the
squirrel has made its appearance
every day. Out of curiosity, Krause
followed it one morning and found
that its, nest was in tho woods fully
a mile distant. ? Telephone News.
