Jf you married a man just to get a
meal ticket and a rocking chair, you
ought to get both hungry and tired.
To get married Juat for that is a
very pernicious method by which
to earn a living. There are easier
ways. It's safer to tap typewriter
keys and get a regular salary for it
than to be a kitchen maid with a
doubtful income, unless?and that
is such a big "unless'' that it changes
everything?you reckon love a plentiful

If you account the toil of a household
paid by the contentment of having
a happy home, you are a fortun'ate4

ever speak of housework slurringly ?
It possesses all the dignity that a
mistress brings to it. You need
never be ashamed to be a mighty
maker of hot cakes and gravies.
Most men love them. Ar>d that is

editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of Us
views and conclusions.
^
Man builds the house for God to
dwell therein was the old idea. The
modern idea is a combination skyscraper
church, stores, offices, apartments
swimming pools, gymnasium.
New York's Manhattan Congregational
Church will spend $2,000,000 on
such a building, twenty-three stories
high. The clergymen will live on the
ground floor.
A Frenchman, Doctor Cafrnette, has
developed an anti-tuberculosis vaccine.
mi successful that its use for all
children' is suggested.
There is no injection of tuberculosis
germs. The vaccine merely "suggests
the disease, and rouses to activity
the anti-tubercular bacilli in the
body. The new remedy, called "BOG"
was tried on monkeys and other animals
for thirteen years in the Pasteur
Institute before experiments were
made on humans. "BCG" is said to
reduce consumption in twenty-five
cases out of twenty-six.
The famous American doctor, William
J. Mayo, believes that science
will find a way to immunize against
cancer. A woman, Doctor Maud Slye,
of ( hicago, has bred mice in which
cancer can by no means be developed,
and other mice are invarably born
with cancer.
When consumption and cancer are
conquered, as they will be, men will
be rid of their most deadly microscopic
enemies. They already know
how to deal with the deadly plagues
from Asia, one of which, "the black
death," wiped out nearly half the population
of Europe.
( ommereial flying, including ocean
flights, may become a reality soon.
Commander Byrd was besieged by
would-be passengers willing to pay
"any price" if he would take them to
Europe.
Young Lindbergh casually flew
from St. Louis on a little trip to New
York via Washington.
Bellanca, the Dalian genius, builder
of the Chamberlin-Levine airplane, is
building airships for a commercial
air line between Chicago and New
"l ork. Five ships are ordered, guaranteed
to make the trip in seven and a
half hours. Each car will carry
twelve passengers, have three engines,
and cost $28,500.
"When you ask yourself, "Who will
ride in them," remember that when
the F rench built the railroad from
Paiis to Versailles, actors and actresses
were hired to sit in the train looking
out of the windows, smiling as
though they enjoyed it. And when
the first elevator with a steel column
under it was onstulled in the Grand
I Hotel in Puris, about sixty years ago,
old French ladies and gentlemen con,
tinued to walk up stairs to the fifth
floor.
The world is a sad place for the old
and poor, and children are cruel.
Long years ago, Anna Noveke sang
I before the Emperor Franz Joseph in
Vienna. Now, seventy seven years
old, she is ejected from her one room
dwelling, "not so much because she
i dosen't pay her rent, but because she
I had twenty cats in the room with

Bent, old and gray, she stood on

Three Dead F rom Lightning
Bishopville, July 16.?Thursday afternoon
Bishopville was visited with
the worst electric storm and heaviest
rain in years, resulting in the death
by lightning of two white people and
one Negro woman.
Elias Brown, farmer on Dr. A. B.
Baskin's farm, while sitting in his
back porch was instantly killed when
lightning struck his pump and was
deflected to his chair. He/leaves a
wife and six children. \
I he 12-year-old son of B. D. K.
(upeland was instantly killed in a
small rbom at the public bathing
where he and numbers of others
were huddled together to escape the
fury of the storm. Others in the
crowd were severly shocked. Young
Copeland was the only son.
A few miles north of Bishopville
lighthing struck the home of Lee
Cain, Negro farmer, almost destroying
his home and killing his wife.
\. An Old Landmark
Workmen began Tuesday to raze
an old landmark of Sumter, the
only dwelling house left on Dugan
street between Sumter and Main
street. Citizens whose memory goes
back half century, say that this house
is famous as the birth place of that
brilliant American singer, Mme. Clara
Louise Kellogg. Perhaps no singer
porduced by this country had a better
place in the American heart than
Mme. Kellogg. Her voice was a
high soprano of great clearness and
purity and she achieved wonderful
triumphs in Europe, as well as in
her own America. Her best operatic
part was Margherita in Faust,
but she was well known in both concert
and opera.
Some claim that Mme. Kellogg
was born in this old house which
then stood on Main street where
the Tuomey block of stores now
1 stand, while others say that she
only spent part of her childhood
in this city. Can any of the musi1
cians of Sumter supply more defi1
nite,.information ??Sumter Item

If Clarendon and Williamsburg
counties could see their way clear
to follow the example of Kershaw
and Lancaster in making reimbursements
with the State Highway Commission
for the paving of Highway
26 it would be the first paved road
across the state from North Carolina
to the coast. The Sumter section of
more than thirty miles was paved
several years ago, Kershaw county
has issued bonds to pave the thirtyodd
miles from the Sumter line to
Kershaw and Lancaster county will
shortly do likewise to pave the forty
miles from Kershaw to the North
Carolina line. The only unpaved link
unprovided for is. the section in
Clarendon and Williamsburg counties
between the Sumter County line and
the junction of No 26 with the Coastal
highway near Lanes. No. 26 is the
shortest route between Charleston
and the north. Charleston does not
appear at all interested in the early
paving of this important highway
throughout its entire length, although
on many respects it means
more to Charleston than the Coastal
Highway.?Sumter Item.
