The editor of this paper is away b
this week on a short vacation to be
spent in Florida. We feel that the <.
paper is being left in the hands of r
a competent force, and that they will |
keep it up to its standard or even t
better while we are away. Any business
entrusted to them will have the t
sit me prompt attention as usual. I
Hut After That?Have Mercy ,
County officers seized 254 bottles (
of home brew in a ruid on an Ander- t
son county cafe Saturday. Ixrcal malt
mixers needn't fret for a while,
though, because Captain Henry is ^
kept too busy busting up liquor stills.
And More Returns Too

"What is the difference," asks an 1
economist in* The Womans Home *
Companion, "between a savings ac- *
count and a checking account?" We
know the answer to that. You can 1

count. 1

K. (i. Brown, lawyer, and an al- v

to Whiteville, N. C., from California, s
to face trial. All of which beiv*'s l)Ut c

Fireside that more than one attorney *

Maybe We'll Need It All Here

The Arundel company of Baltimore ,
is awarded contract for erection of (
Saluda river's darn in Lexington ,
county, at a price approximating p\,01)0,001),
it has been announced, and (
rt is said that three yedrs will be required
to complete the project. This
means more than one can calculate
and it is a source of particular pride
to nearby communities even though it
will reduce Kershaw county to second
place in the output of electric [rower. (
Yd, Ho, And a Road To (io
('. K. Jones, chairman of the state
highway commission, told the Kiwanis
club at Sumter on Friday, that
the state would spend a total of
$.'17,000,000 building roads within the
year, and that 400 miles of paved
roads would l>e added to the state
road system. And, thank goodness
and the county fathers, we'll take
our place with the golden ribbons
that are going to stream pretty soon
along every direction from Camden
at the Crossroads of Carolina.
Send It In Karl)
What is said below from the Pee
Dee Advocate is the experience of
every count r\ newspaper. It would
be far better to ask how early do you
want the copy than what is the latest.
It would insure better set up,
better position and be better for all
concerned. The Marlboro paper says:
"I have a little piece I want to put
in the paper; what is the latest time
I can get it in?"
How often we of the newspaper
office hear that question! Sometimes
it is variated with "very latest."
Just why one should want tqr wtajt
until the "very latest moment" to
send in copy of a communicaitbn or
advertisement has not been explained.
Just thoughtlessness probably. If we
could set all of the type that goes In-to
the paper in one day there would
Ih1 nothing for the printers to do the
rest of the week. %The idea seems to
be general that all that is necessary
is to put their "piece" or ad copy in
arrrj it sets itself into type.
A woman phoned the office some
time ago that she had a report of a
club meeting that she wanted to get1
in, at five o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon. She was advised, with regrets,
that it was too late. She kept
the copy until the next Wednesday
and brought it in about noon, saying
sweetly, "I hope I am in time this
time."
To assure publication of your
material, to reduce the chance of
mistakes through hurry, to give us
time to put it into type, print it aVid
jfet the paper to you on time on
Thursday, pdeaso send your copy in
early. Friday or Saturday would be
best.
Dr. Frank Crane Says:
|)*(?ire-~ Keep It Ktrr Green
That i>. a pretty good title. It is
given lu unt ul the recent Antioch
College pamphlets and im very auggv?'.
:ie. There is nothing people
nee?J inojre in the world than desire.
The great problem is not lepicoeihg
desire or uprooting it, hut properly
nursing it.
We need desire a): our Ives. No
{real thing was ever done by a man
without a great desire.
It was Napoleon's desire for fame
hat drove him forward, and Alexinder's
and Caesar's desire for conjuest
that actuated their efforts.
Marriage is rarely successful without
a great desire. ,
A marriage merely for convenience,
vf; money, for j>osition, or such rea- t
.ons, is usually a failure. Q
There have been few business sue- *
esses accomplished by those who had
10 desire to get forward, and few |
ibliticians achieve success wthout j
he proper amount of ambition.
IJehind the whole human race in j
very race is the thing we call desire.
It is the steam of the human engine.
!t is the urge in human accomplishnent.
People do : ot fail so much be- j
ause they want the wrong things. <
vome do. Hut most people do not ?
ucceed because they do not know i
vhat they want or do not want a t
hing hard enough. s
Since desire is so essential in hunan
accomplishment everything
ihould be done to conserve it. All (
hose false avenue* of which de- |
(ires are easily satisfied without
freat accomplishment are inujurious.
The chief trouble with drinking *
Wcohol is not its immediate toxic 1
ffect upon the system so much as (
t is the fact that it gives us a sense *
>f satisfaction without due effort. 1
Che peace and content and hilarity 1
hat come after a good drink of 8
vhiskey properly come after doing '
i job of work well. Those who are
iteady drinkers are very unreliable '
loers. (
flu* sex desire properly conserved '
?nd limited is tha foundation of the
lome. If it seeks its satisfaction in
)ther channels the home life is
weakened.
Tho efforts of mankind should be
lot to suppress nor destroy desire
>u much as to direct it into the proper
'hannels and save its force for some- 1
thing worth while.
The greatest wasters are the wasters
of desire. There is need of thrift
in desire as well as in other things.
} ou never know when you may want
it.
Commercial frauds cost manufactures
and wholesale firms more than
each business day. These frauds consistof
obtaining credit on false statements
of assets, of concealing
assets from creditors or referees
in bankruptcy, and of other
misrepresentations.
America's dentists are said to lead
the world. George III had a yankea
dentist. Dr. Thomas W. Evans, the
distinguished Philadelphia dentist,
treated Emperor Napoleon III of
France and sheltered the Emperess
Kugeneie after the monarchy's fall.
^ our I.oca I Newspaper
One of the things which become
increasingly evident to us as we
travel about over the State is the
influence which local newspapers
may exert on the progress pf the
average town. While it is generally
acceded that no paper can thrive
without the support of the merchants.
it appears to us that many
merchants consider too lightly, if at
all, the benefits which they derive,
or could derive, from having their
town represented by a good live paper.
For instance, it is not hard to understand
that your own advertising
will attract more favorable attention
in a well-edited, neat-appearing pallet
than in a dull, uninviting-looking
sheet. Moreover, the live, readable
paper will generally he found
to have a large circulation and will
be read with a good deal, of interest,
ail of which means dollars and
cents to you as an advertiser.
Hut consider your local paper
from the standpoint of the community
news which it carrier A welledited
paper, chock-full of local
news, is hound to create much good
will for your town. Whenever the
town attempts to put over a community
event, of whatever sort, the'
local newspaper will largely decide
the success or failure of the venture
by the publicity which it provides
in the news columns.
We are all interested most in the
things we know most about. ThereI
fore, if you have a good live newspaper
to tell the folks about your
town, it follows quite naturally that
( they will be interested in your town
and will come to trade. Isn't that
worth thinking about ? ?Nebraska

HHflBHHHBBHHBHHBBBBBBBHHBIBIKl
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub- '
lished us expressions of opinions
f the world's highest-salaried <,
editor and The Chronicle does not t
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
America's millions, who imagine ^
hey are thirsty for light wine, beer
>r something stronger, will be in- '
eresUni in this.
United ,States capital has recent- !
y lent nearly $300,000,000 to help ;
dreign countries develop their j
iquor and beer business. Even *in
:he Far East this country has financed
liquor production to the tune of '
nore than $5,000,000.
i
Mr. Hayward Kendall, who rep- '
eserits unorganized drinkers- that ;
>ught to be saved from themselves,
lays: "The Eighteenth Amendment
s saving America (in cash expendi- '
ures and increased efficiency) from
tix to eight billion dollars a year." '
The nation's purchasing power has
ertainly increased amazingly since
Prohibition came.
In 1919 there vqere in America
5,500,000 automobiles. Now there
?re 20,000,000, and not enough. The
ountry spends half a billion a year i
>n radio, many millions for washing
machines, vacuum cleaners, electric
efrigerators. Workers in America
pend more lavishly than the rich in
Europe.
Mr. Kendall thinks it would be a
national calamity if the outpouring
of money were diverted from automobiles
and radio to wine and beer.
W hile the boll weevil continues
spreading in the United States Cairo
telegraphs that:
I hanks to vigorous Government
measures, the area affected by the
boll worm has been considerably circumscribed."
Egyptian acreage affected by the
pest has been reduced from 89,000
to 5,000 acres. What Egypt can do
this country certainly ought to do.
We have the scientists, the money
and the boll weevils. What is the
matter with us?
This news will not sell extra
papers, like a Dempsey-Tunney fight,
but will be important long after
Deiupsey and Tunney cease to be important.
Pennsylvania State College
has discovered that the vitamin B,
o important to life, is manufactured
by the cow in her stomach in great
quantities.
Scientists cut a little door into
the "rumen," or second stomach of
the cow, deprived her of all food
containing vitamin B. Nevertheless,
in a little incubator in that
-etond stomach the cow produced the
precious vitamin B in profusion.
That may mean to child life as
much as the admirable fight against
impure milk made by Nathan
Straus.
In cities people go crazy more
frequently than they once did. Excitement,
bootleg liquor and other
things help. In New York State
one person in every twenty-five has
been in the insane asylum, according
to the American Psychiatric Association.
There is less insanity than forr-Hriy
among women on farms.
Loneliness, that used to drive them;
insane by the thousands, has been
softened by telephone, radio, parcels
post, and above all, the automobile.
i
President Vinson tells young
people of Western Reserve UHP1
versity that no conflict exists be-?
tween science and religion; they occupy
different fields. He wisely remarks
that science, without religion,
would lead to hopeless materialism,
just as religion, when it denies the
plain truths of science, leads to
fanaticism and superstition.
Religion and science are like astrology
and astronomy, or like alchemy
and chemistry,
Astronomy starte. in astrology,
chemistry started in alchemy, with
experimenters seeking to make gold.
Science started in religion. Men,
questioning the origin of things, firsj
gave a religiou* answer,- everythiii
based on miracles. Then they sto4a?.
ed more closely and began glvtrifc
scientific answers. " ' ?

Borrowed to Got Into Contest
Santa Monica, Gal., Aug. 17.?Art
joebel gambled his life to win the
Honolulu aitr contest, emptying his
sockets and begging or borrowing the
est of the cash to get a plane for the
lop.
The flyer, who quit his stunts be'ore
the movie camera in quest of
ran*-oceanic fame, was not thinking
10 much of the $25,000 prize at the
nd of the sunset trail when he final*
y succeeded in getting his friends to
;oine in on a pot. This is proved by
he fact he eagerly Offered half the
noney he might win to any one who
would finance his venture.
The money finally was raised. A
few of his close friends and associates
in the picture game chipped in
and a start was made. Financial
iisaster followed, however, as one of
his backers, at the last minute,
found his funds were tied up and that
ie would Ik* unable to help.
Then began a long search for money.
Goebel sold some of his belong- ^
ings and much of his flying equipment.
After adding the proceeds to
the pool he found himself still about
?3,500 short of the goal.
His plane was being built at Wichita,
Kan., and Goebek would not be
downed. He flew to Kansas City,
where he waA to take delivery of the
L-raft if he could raise the balance of
the money. The officials of the Phillips
Petroleum company of Bartlesville,
Okla., came to his aid and he
made the full amount.
It took only one or two test flights
at the Oklahoma oil town to prove
to Goebel he had the plane to make
the 2,400-mile flight. So he named
it for a famous old Indian chief of
Oklahoma, which means "good luck"
in the red man's jargon.
After a few more tests Goebel took
wing for the West. At first the stunt
flyer thought he would make a solo
flight over the Pacific. But finally he
became convinced a navigator would
be necessary, and Lieut. William
Davis rode over the Golden Gate beside
him when the trim monoplane
drove out over the Pacific.
Hanford MacNider^. assistant secretary
of war, was in an airplane
which turned over when landing at
Danbury, Conn., on Saturday. He
was uninjured. His pilot suffered a
contusion of the hip.
W. W. Edwards, convicted at Ashevilie
last Friday on a charge of attempted
blackmail and sentenced to
six months on the roads, has had his
sentence suspended as the result of a
tearful plea by his wife, and on
agreement to pay court costs.
Pleasures of A Small Town
An editor in a nearby town writes
of the pleasures of living in a small
town, as follows:
? "There is more than one privilege
and pleasure about living in a small
town. One of them is in going in
your shirt sleeves; another is in
sitting on the shady side of a business
hous<^ in the summer time and
the sunny side in the winter. If you
want to speak to a friend three
blocks away, you can yell and squall
at him and you can carry on a loud
hollering conversation; you can always
find a place to park; you have
lots of friends and when you are
with one of them you can talk about
all the balance; you can keep up
with everybody else's business except
your own, and many, many others,
but they are too numerous tj
mention."
Among those he failed to mention,
we suggest: You can listen in on the
party line and get all the latest gossip;
you can make six trips to the
postoffice every day, although you
know there's nothing there; you can
cross the street anywhere you take
a notion; you can lock up the place
and go to dinner; and you don't live
so close to the next-door neighbors!
that you have to lower your voice
when you have a family row.?Ashton

ARMOUR'S K8TATK
Once $m.OOQ.Q0O. Now Won't Pay
Hia Debts
Chicago, Au*. 18.?Enormous liabilities
of J. Ogden Armour will cause
a deficit tn hi# on*-tl met125,000,000
estate, thyae who know its condition
said today.-'
Armour's death in London Tuesday
followed a succession pf steady losses
unequalled in history.
In 1916 Armour and his nephews
were offered $130,000,000 sfor the
meat packing- business which they
owned absolutely.
Anion* the projects whose failure
or collapse ate into the Armour funds
were the Illinois Tunnel company, a
narrow gauge railway under Chicago
streets for transporting freight
from the wholesale and retail districts
to the railway terminals, and
the Sutter Basin irrigation scheme,
which was bonded for $18,000,000.
Mrs. Armour and her daughter.
Mrs. John J. Mitchell, Jr., have fortunes
in their own n#mes, Mitchell
will inherit millions. Armour's nephftk,
Lester and Philip Armour, Jr.,
e a part of the packing company
and have some of their father's millions.
He was Philip D. Armour, Jr.,
who died in 1900.
The collapse of Armour's fortune
was soon followed by his physical collapse.
He has been intermittently ill
for five years. Last spring he was
seriously ill; When he partly recovered,
the trip abroad -was taken to
assist convalescence.
Son of Murdered Woman Sought
Chicago, Aug. 23.?The movements
of Harry Hill, twenty-two, sought
following the discovery of his mother's
body at Streator, 111., today
were traced to the home of a Chicago
friend where he had spent last
night. He dropped from sight after
telling the friend, William Brydges,
he was going to a barber shop.
Mrs. Mary Ann Hill's body was
found buried under the brick floor
of the basement of her home by
her estranged husband, Dr. H. C.
Hill, wealthy oculist of Streator,
and a party of officers. She had
last been seen three weeks ago.
An autopsy revealed that the woman,
"^vho was fifty-five yearB of age
had been shot with a pistol bullet
piercing her brain. An inquest will
be hejd tomorrow. \
Chicago pqBice following the trail
of young Hill after he left\ Streator
yesterday morning, found thfat he
drove here, visited his former employer
and spent last night with
Brydges. Brydges said he had known
the Hills in Streator.
The absence of Mrs. Hill did not
excite her neighbors as she was somewhat
of a recluse. Last night her
husband went to the home with a
friend and during a search of the
house noticed the disturbed condition
of the basement floor. He notified
the police and they found the body.
The authorities then sought to question
the son who had been seen at
the house since the mother disappeared.
He could not be found.
Baby Drowns In Soup Bowl
Loid, N. J., Aug. 23.?Roger Olliver,
aged fourteen months, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Olliver, was
drowned in a large bowl of soup'this
afternoon.
This soup was in a crockery bowP
abodt one foot in diameter and six
inches deep. The mother had placed
it on the floor to cool while she went
to a nearby grocery store.
The infant had been left on the
kitchen -floor and evidently crawled
over to look at the steaming liquid.
In some manner he fell in and was
drowned before his mother returned
from the store.
Police Captain Nebensi heard the
mother's screams as he was passing
and ran inside. Efforts to revive
the child were unsuccessful and Capt.
Nebensi called Dr. H. H. Brevoort
who in turn called County Physician.'
William E. Ogden.
Dr. Ogden described the child's
death as "accidental."
-Twenty or more prohibition officers
staged raids in Asheville N. C.,
on Saturday morning and rounded up

in evidence.
