The governor's blue law program
was satisfactorily settled in about
five Sabbath* and there'* yet ho|>e
for the welfare board if they can just
stand the pressure for a little while
longer.
Ruth Brown Snyder has expressed
belief that they~#TlT never eleOtrocubft
*a "womufl'" Doubtful we must admit,
but treating her under the category
of a common female of the
specie, there's no telling what sort
of reprimand may he administered.
Time and a little temperance will
provide a cure for many ailments. In
the meanwhile just think how much
less desirable it would be if the
Wateree toll gates were guiltleSu of<
their prevailing air of courtesy; utmost
consideration and genuine
friendliness.
The fact that .South Carolina imposes
a tax of forty percent on the
smoker of Bull Durham while the
two-bits cigar gets by '-with- a
four percenf^toll is just one more
point in argument that the present
system of taxation is this - stat?'.V
greatest crusher-out of progress.
Col. Robert Bingham, pioneer educator
and headmaster of Bingham
Military school, died at his home ,noar
Asheville Sunday. He was 89 year#
of age and had been ill several weeks.
He was a native of Hillsboro, N- C-.
and was the third generation ,of the
Binghnnis to head the famous school.
The school was founded by his grandfather
at Mebane, N. C., in 1793.
Owing to a cut of $7,000 in appropriations
by the (ieneral Assembly,
there will he no short course at Winthrop
this summer for farm girls and
women. It has heretofore been held
in June. This course has been fpr

vaiious* counties of the state. The
State Farm Woman's Council will

Miss Holeolm is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Y. K. Holeolm of the West
Sp: rigs community of Union coifnty
and in a student of the eleventh
grade.
Misses Bunkley and Hail?, under
whose direction "Rings in the Saw>
dust," found l'avor before one of
Camden's most enthusiastic audiences,
have contributed more than
mere delight ful entertainment. They
hn\e exploded the theory that it takes
an alien to put over such an undertaking
tfnd kept the entire monetary
reward where it belong*?-without
having to give a lion's share to the
itenerant coach as has largely-' been
the custom heretofore.
Theo T. Martin, serving a year's
sentence for violating the state bnnking
laws and Henry Thorn a son, serving
n sentence of one to two yp^rs
from Greenville for forging a . check
on his sister, were beneficiaries of
pat dons from Governor Richards Friday.
Martin plead guilty and was
given a sentence at Marion of not
less than four years nor more than
eight. Govet nor Mclasnl commuted
this sentence l<> one year in January,
1927, and now Martin goes free.
Hudson Maxim, author, inventor
and explosives expert, who ylied Saturday
night at his home at. Krtke
Hopatcong, N. J., wh- huriod Monday
at Newark. N. J. His Ixjdy was cremated
according to his wish. There
were no pallbearers and no religious
services. Three of his friends delivered
eulogies: Garrett P. Serviss,
astronomer and scientist; Francis I.
DuPont, powder manufacturer, and
l>r. M Reese Hutchinson, inventor.
The family requested that no flqral
offerings he sent. It was Maxim's
hram that conceived of inventions to
make war more terrible, and it was
h s brain thnt invented the
silencer that made crime e?*si*f|jF Th?
latter weapon was barred *a*<
in many * ates. He bad ~no religious
beliefs i..i.i died as he- had lived.
Two maaked bandit* held up and
robbed a bank at Cowarda a few daya
ago of $6,1)00, and at that they are
polished gentlemen aa compared with
aome higher-up citizena who are today
walking free after paying a amall
*tUu' for their part on an "inaide" Job.
Press dispatches a few daya ago
ftvm Long laland, N. Y., aUte that
Mra. Ruth .Snyder, recently convicted
jointly with Judd Gray for killing
her husband, had received 104 propottala
of marriage in caae she was
acquitted of the crime. Sp it seema
I that aome men like to take a chance

W. S. Lee, Jr., a farmer of Orangeburg
eounty, waa given a aentence
of three month? .on the chain gang
for violating ttfce tfftc fl?h laws. Lee
and E. L. llrunton were indicted for
netting nine net* In North Edit to
river April 12, during the closed season.
Brunson drew the same aentence
but the aentence waa suspended
during good behavior.
The Chronicle ia thia week carrying'
a amall advertisement aignod by A. W.
Mellon, secretary of the treasury'' VL
is a unique advertisement?unique in
the fact that it ia for the United
States government, and alao unique iu
the fact that almost simultaneously
thia little advertisement is being carried
by every daily, semi-weekly and
weekly newspaper using the English
language in the United States.
[ Macarda will also be placed in every
j poatoffice and bank and trust company
in the nation. Another illuatration
of the fact that printers' ink pays
when Uncle Sam calls it into service.
To an outsider it looks as if conditions
might be rather rotten down in
Dorchester county. Apropos these
conditions The Greenwood Indexlioip-nal
has this to say: "In view of
the fact that Governor Richard? seems
to want to pose as a regular bear cat
on law enforcement, despite such incidents
of a more or less trivial nature
such as the iynchings at Aiken
and a few others not important
enough to mention, why not take a
little more time off and look into
the situution in Dorchester county?
If things there are as alleged by The
Dorchester Eagle they might be good
game for a little regulating by the
state constabulary and some others.
How did Sheriff Limehouse of Dorchester
county get his nickname
Bossy and why, and who was he
"bossing" for in the last state election
anyway ?Chester Reporter.

it is to be hoped that several of our

important meeting.
In a High-Speed Car
1 herb is yet no word as to when
they are going to try W. W. Bradley,
former state hunk examiner, for
his alleged complicity in the beachof
the American Bank and Trust
compuny. It will be recalled that
\\ hen Pope Matthew*, formerly cashier
of the wreck, pleaded guilty a
few days ago and was lot off by
Judge John S. Wilson with a paltry
tine of $.'>,000, which was promptly
paid (his lawyers, including Senator
Cole Blease, Clint Graydon, Claude
N, Sapp, et ah, getting $10,000, maybe
rnpre), the case against Mr. Bradley
was continued. Solicitor Spignor getting
by with a story to the effect that
he would have to draw up a new indictment.

it was mighty kind to Mr. Bradley

THINGS WORTH KNOWING
Miscellaneous Items of Interest Gathered
From Many Sources .
A stranger in a western city noticed
an odd crank on the meter of the
taxicab in which he was riding. Becoming
curious he turned this crank
a wee bit to see what would happen.
The meter immediately added fifty
cents to his fare.
Statistics show that each time the
London House of Commons takes a
vote on a measure it costs the tax*
payer $'30, and every question asked
during the daily question time costs
$5.25. By asking 469 questions, one'
member cost the country $2,867.50
for six months, besides his salary.
The discovery that cod and haddock
are found in the greatest numbers in
waters where the temperature is be.ween
40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit
has led to the extensive use of thermometers
by fishing fleets.
The old Neff house in Montgomery
county, Illinois, in Which Abraham
. -Lincoln lived while debating in that
district against Stephen A. Douglas,
will be razed to make room for^ a
gasoline filling 'station. ' i
Alaska, bought by the ifntled
States from Russia in 1867, has in

Two are indicted for fraud through
Ahe mails, In a "how %o get thin"
swindle. Fraud is not the worst of
such enterprises. Many women, who
think they are too fat, ruin their
vitality seeking to be thin. The way
to "reduce" is by regular sleep, deep
breathing, reasonable exercise, moderate
wise eating. It i* not necessary
to be fat or to faint.
New York to Chicago air service is

That should be a reason for giving
the contract, instead of refusing it.
Pilots!; owning stock in machines
wouldj take care of them and the

slock jn a flying company, that
law should be changed.
A famous boar named Colonel
Hioadcaster and fourteen other pedigreed
American swine were sent to
Greece last week. The mountains
that look on Marathon will soon see
finer pigs rooting along the beach
than they ever saw before.
Poetry is above pigs, but pigs that
America sent to Greece will do Greece
more good than the poetry that
Byron wrote.
Greece has won for herself the
[freedom that Byron wished her. She
couldn t win without foreign help such
a pedigreed pig as Broadcaster.
The Bolshevik i are certainly uncouth.
They convict three taigh Russian
officials of taking bribes in connection
with a big German lumber
tiust; and what do you suppose happened?
The three officials did not
employ good lawyers, express righteous
indignation and go to Palm
Beach or the Riviera. They stayed at
home, were sentenced to death, all
their property confiscated, and they
will really be executed.
Russia would be a poor place to
steal a naval oil reserve.
Miss Pankhurst has lost interest in
votes for women, "because voting
women make the same mistakes that
men make. 1 hey do, of course, being
human, and sometimes influenced
by men. Nobody expected that votes
for women would bring on the millennium
over night. But women voting
have made men in office ask themsekes,
What do the women want?
What do the children need?" That's
the important thing about votes for
women.
In old whiskey days, as soon as
women got the vote, district leaders
in the great city sent out the order,
"Don't get the boys drunk around
election time, or their wives and
daughters will vote against you."
Civilization s problem is cheap dis-1
tribution of life's necessities, giving
citizens full value for their dollars.
This doesn t mean business men
shouldn't make the profit to which
they are entitled. It means modern
business tends more and more to "low
profit, big volume."
The quart of milk that a farmer
sells for four cents, the city mother
buys for fifteen cents. If General
Motors were run on that basis, a
Chevrolet would cost $4,000.
Italy is to bo made pure, and
beards among other things are to be
abolished. Mussolini calls . them
masks for solemn humbugs and
nests for disease germs.
Alexander the Great shaved his
face and made his soldiers do it, that
.the enemy, fighting with the short
sword, might not seize the beard as a
handle, to help in cutting off the
head. Mussolini objects to beards as
nests for germs, another and worse
enemy. Mussolini says he refuses
to he assassinated, will live to be
i?inot>. and then retire, leaving instructions
for Italy's guidance.
