Very few knew of his illness. Central Wood was born in Win< he?ter, New Hampshire, October Ih00 Hi spent a great deal of time fighting arr: .r g the Indians, later vnr in i harge of Koosevelt's Hough Hide; ,i. Cuba during the SpanishAim / u an war and laU-r became governor general of the Philippines, which position he held at the time of his death. No Other Courae After reading the statement of Cov. Fuller, of Massachusetts, one is forced to t lie conclusion that the governor * adopted the only course he could adopt if he had any regard for his oath of office. Here were two men charged with murder, a cold-blooded murder, a murder that was "not necessary," as the governor puts it. in order to get the money the two men were after. The crime was committed in 11(20, nearly seven years , ugo. The two men. Sacco and Vanzetti, have had recourse t<> every sort of technicality t<> stave off the day of punishment. And now Governor Fuller after the most careful investigation comes to the conclusion that the two men should be punished. Nothing wa- found to indicate that the men did not get a fair trial, nothing that ar- used any sort of reasonable _ll"Ub', |1- to t he .x._gAii.lt. What el?e was then- for him to do" Tol-a> that these two met) should be pardoned in the fact-of the governo;' fair and thorough investigation which led to the conclusion * set out above i? nothing short of an ab.-urdity. If one i- opposed to capita! punishment one might -ay they should have a commutation and Ik- given a life -entence. but n pardon. Put that i- a- la; :i- ore can go.

Camden claims to have started this J fee tax for five years on new enterprisos in 1909. Newberry adopted such an ordinance in 1SKI, wnen the first cotton mill, the Newberry cotton moll, was greeted in this city. The Molohon mill, erected in 1001 or 1902, was the second large enterprise t,. come to Newberry under such an ordinance. So, Hock Hill and Camden can both take hack seats and yield this honor to the city ot Newberry. ? Newberry < Ibsei ver. Still They Happen Fatal automobile accidents continue to happen and though reported in detail and feattrred in the newspapers, warning does not cjme from such publicity. Still, daring drivers dash across ; railway crossings just ahead of fasl moving ponderous train* which can not possibly stop under a consider able distance. The train, by the way k. supposed to have the- right to mov? on its own track. The reckless auto ( mobile driver does not, by his actionrecognize this right. s Reckless and malicious uutomobih _ diivers continue to dr:w at h:gl 4 sped over highways, sometime n Li ning over '*ri k-iling themselves s sometimes hitting others, who ma; e b.- careful, in a collision and causini ieath-u*--une or the other, u-uallv th areful driv.-r being the one t< -uffe ?and so on and * v . - In sum me there :s much nio*v Living than ii winter and this explain- the g'.eate number of accidents.

Ho* would you like to b? <hr average American farmer ? Hu farm is 315 ?or?. His investment $16,308 His average net return for 1926 was $1,133. He could make more than that driving a street car, getting regular sleep, not worrying about weather, lame horses, sick cows, rust on wheat, bugs on potatoes, blight in the orchards, etc. The puzzling question is why is a farmer ? More important to millions of Americans, cotton has gone to a new ! high price for this year, three times j on three consecutive days. When cotton, not long ago, sold at half today's price, this writer said to Mr. Clarence Dillon, ingenius | New York financier: "Buy yourself plenty of cotton and you will make a great deal of money." I Dr. Sherman, of Columbia University, shows that man's "vital years" can be increased by the right diet. Efficiency can begin earlier and last longer if men eat enought of the right things. Chemistry applied to diet will soon add ten years to the' working period of human life. Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson,. whose conversion of sinners proves her inspired, fights as veil as she | converts. Her former choir leader,! Mr. Nichols, says: "Confess what really happened when you were sup-' posed to be kidnaped." Mrs. Aimee Semple replies: "I told the truth, walked in the light, and you are only! looking for advertising, which >*otr need." There is nothing like courage to take you through. Mrs. Aimee has it. In Washington, Mrs/ Fader spank- ; ed her three-year-old son, Bruce, be-1 cause he would climb the White j House iron fence. ^ During the spank-! ing her $3,000 diamond bracelet flew off and was lost. Bruce saw the bracelet in the air but, busy with his spanking, said nothing. Whipping children causes greater loss than that of any bracelet when it destroys the child's affection and respect for parents. Another American, Lieutenant C. C. Champion, Jr., of the Navy, sets another flying mark. He is believed to have broken the world's altitude record. He fought a temperature 90 degrees below zero and his plane caught] j fire. An ambulance rushed to meet him. found him grinning instead of iead as was expected. Our atmosphere is ol'u miles high, or deep, s.? thin at the top that a' feather would not float in it. How high up'will men go? Will ( -hey be astronomers'looking through . thinner air at the universe outside, of us? Lieutenant Champion's estimated altitude of 4 <,000 feet is questioned. He says he will go up again and higher. Mr. Chamberlin. Atlantic flier, will try something new in commercial 1 shipping-aviation. .In a little sport, biplane he will fly from the deck of the steamship Leviathan. showing now passenger and mail transportation car\ be speeded up by flying from big ships as they near port. Soon flying machines will cross the ocean more safely than boats do row and in one-fourth of the time. Then a combination steamship and plane will seem strange, but it is a useful L> transition now. 1 A wise father lets h;s son do what s j he wants, within reason, for what a boy wants to do is usually what he * can do best. s One of his boys '.iked music and 1 wanted to lead a jazz band. Mr. j ahead and lead it." r, He knew *te jazz band fit would rwt 1 la>t long. i* Nov. young Mr. Khan, nineteen i years old. has taken to flying, is his own pilot and skillful. That does not make his father and mother sleep more soundly, probably, but Mr. Kahn Ssays: "Co ahead and fly." P; If more Americans with money >'j Mould let their bo>s fly?as thousands n j of normal American boys would like * - to fly this country would soon lead "(the world in aviation. i Even confirmed fools have their I. serious moments.

M-i-* Mary Goodale gave # very < Proving dance to the college set at Crescent Lake on Thursday night in honor of Miss Betty Smythe and | Grace Aden, of Summerville. The rooms were bright with summer flowers. Throughout the evening refreshments were served. The music was furnished by Miss Nellie Kirkland, one of Camden's accomplished pianists. This was one of the largest entertainments given by the college et this summer.
