Mr. (I. <>. Dowling, Greenwood real
state man who is well known in
< :he> Ler. has just returned from a
v ihit to South Georgia, and what he
found there and his impressions ought
to be of much interest in Chester
county as in Greenwood, for the two
counties are facing the same kind of
situation and are working along the
. same lines to recover their financial
equilibrium and get on a stable basis.
.Says Mr. Howling, to quote from the
Index-Journal, excerpts from his rema
rks:
"I recently made a trip through
Southwest Georgia, taking in the c it - j
ieK of Valdosta, Thomasville, Albany,
Amerieus, Fort Valley and Macon,"
said Mr. Dowling, "and I have never
seen a more prosperous country. They
huve real farmers in that section.
Beautiful well-tilled fields, practically
all under fencing, hundreds und thousands
of hogs, meat and dairy cattle
and poultry raising on every hand.
"It is an inspiration to a traveler
to go through this country and see
what a little courage and perseverance
will bring about." Mr. Dowling
was particularly impressed with
South Georgia's pecan industry and
its unlimited possibilities, and wound
up that portion of his interview with
these words: "Our lands in Greenwood
county will yield just as abundntly
and will yield better flavored
pecans than Southwest Georgia and
pecans raised in this country properly
fertilized and cultivated will
bring far more on the market than
pecans raised in Southwest Georgift
or anywhere else. The tone of the
market at this time I am informed is
about as follows: Cattle strong, eggs
steady, chickens good demand, hogs
higher, cotton weak."?-Chester "Reporter.

Henry J. Steen, an undersized tenyear-old
hoy of Austin, Texas, applied
for a job as page in the state
legislature, but was turned down, one
amused member telling him that his
legs were not long enough, says the
Monroe Knquirev. And what did the
resourceful youngster then do?
"Gentlemen," he solemnly announced
"what this legislature needs is brains
not legs." Flablterpasted by the
"saltiest smart crack" it ever received,
the Texas legislature surrenderee
and the terrifying youngster got tht
job.
Declaring tnnt South Carolina
banking is now being done on a more
substantial and safe basis than it has
been conducted for a long time past,
State Bank Examiner Albert S. Fant
Saturday issued a statement showing
a total deposits of $85,104,4(MM 1 in
savings and checking accounts in
state banks in South Carolina with
total, resources of South Carolina
state banking institutions placed at
$111,1HR,4<?8.W1. In a statement to
the ways and means and finance committee
of the .general assembly Thursday
afternoon, Mr. Fant stated that
deposits in state banks would total
considerably more than $50,000,000,
but the total arrived at Saturday was
far more than even he hail anticipated.
Later reports have boon received
by Mr. Fant. "With the enormous
total of almost $85,200,000 on deposit
in South Carolina, in spite of the depressed
price of cotton, South Carolina's
money crop, this statement indieates
an even healthior state of affalrs
than the department had anticipated,"
Mr. Fant says.
Our New $U,000 Judge
The legislature has again elected
one of its members to an important
office in South Carolina. We refer
to the election of Senator Jesse F.
Carter to the supreme court bench.
No doubt Judge Carter is well qualified
to fill the place, hut why does
not the legislature tack this sign on
the hall doors: "Jobs will he filled
with only mcmbeis of the legislature.
Others need not apply."
It cost the state of South Carolina
$11,000 to elect .lodge Carter and
we hope he is worth it, hut the taxpayers
cannot see why the legislature
found it such a hard task to fill this
p.a.'e, especially when there was so
much good material available. Every
ballot taken by the joint session cost
the state $200. "Fifty-five ballots
were tAkcn, therefore $11,000 of the
people's hard earned money was
sp nt.?'J.et.nvi.le Piedmont.

Queer Reason Kor Suicide
Madison, Wis., Jan. 27.-? leaving ?
note explaining he was going to find
out what follows death, ('assets W.
Noe, 20, a medical student of the
University of Wisconsin, shot and
killed himself here.
The youth's body was found in his
bedroom by his parents when they
returned from church. In his hand
he clutched a pistol while beside him
lay a note saying that ho had shot
himself to find "how the things are
over the^e."
As soon as possible, the note read,
he would communicate with a fraternity
brother with whom, he said,
he had arranged a pact. The suicide,
he said, was conceived from a study
of psychology. Noe left word for
Robert Horton, to whom he had
talked of the plan to determine the
power of the spirit, to watch for a
message from the "beyond."
Miss Hunn Dead.
Friends in Camden of Miss Elizabeth
Bunn have received the sad intelligence
of her death which occurred
in Rocky Mount, N. C-, on Monday
of last week. Miss Buun was the popular
musician at the Majestic- Theatre
here about a year ago and had numerous
friends in Camden who will
be saddened* at her passing. Her
death followed an operation in a hospital
at Rocky Mount. The burial
took place in her home town not far
from Rocky Mount.

Mr. W. E. Jackson, and a num
ber of young sons and daughters who

for burial by C. W. Evans and
the funeral services will be held Friday

county. *
The Letter "S"
Did you ever think what a strange
letter S is? It is a serpent in disguise.
Listen?you can hear it hiss.
It gives possession and multiplies indefinitely
by its touch. It changes a
tree into trees, and a house into
houses. Sometime it is very spiteful
and will turn a pet into a pest, a pear
into a spear, a word into sword and
laughter into slaughter, and it will
make hot shot at arty time. The
farmer has to watch it closely as it
will make scorn of his corn and reduce
every peck to a speck. Sometimes
he finds it usefulf for if he
needs more room for his stock it will
change a table into a stable for him
and If he is short of hay, he cftn set
out a row of tacks which it will turn
Into stacks. Hie must be careful,
however, not to let hts nails hang
around loose, as the serpent's breath
will turn them into snails. If he
wishes to irtib an engine about his
farm work, he need not buy any coal
or have water to run it, let the serpent
glide before his horses and the
team will turn into steam. If you
ever get hurt, call the serpent for
your aid, instantly your pain will be
in Spain. Be sure to take it with you
-the?next time you climb a mountain
if you desire to witness a marvel. It
will make the peak speak, but don't
let it come around while you are reading
now, for it will make this tale
"stale."?Walter Moore House, Washington,
D. C., in Southern Railway
Bulletin.
A temperatuie of 96 degrees below
zero, Fahrenheit, a little more than
eight miles from the earth's surface,
was recorded during the flight of one
of the " United States Weather
Bureau's sounding balloons sent up
from Royal Center, Indiana. This
temperature represented a drop of
1 > ? degrees from that prevailing at
Ihe surface.
Furnace Creek, ranch in Death Valley.
California, is the hottest known
inhnbitated spot on the globe. A gove.nmcnt
thermometer there registered
1S4 degrees in the shade. The
coldest recorded locality is in Northern
Siberia, where the mercury drops
to 90 degrees below zero.
