C., Friday, Jan. 20, 1928. Now that Mrs. Kuth Snyder and her paramour, Judd Gray, have been sent to the electric chair, and the law has been vindicated little more will he heard of their case, which goes to show how much of the hurrah to obtain clemency in such cases in purely professional. Take for instance the Sacco and Vanzetti case, which dragged its weary length through the Massachusetts courts, and was on tie- ; front page of the daily papers at short intervals off and on for about seven years in all. When a resolute Governor, with backbone, at last allowed the law to take its course, and the men were put to death as the courts decreed, the whole matter quickly dropped out of sight, arid was succeeded by something else, in the public mind, which goes to prove that much of the ceaseless agitation was the result of money, and the agitators, when they saw their game was ended, turned to something else. While some question the propriety of deuling with u woman on the saiue terms us u man when it comes to punishing for crime, all will probably admit that the murder for which Mrs. Snyder and Gray died was as diabolical and cold-blooded as a murdercan possibly be.?Chester Reporter. The Snyder-Gruy trial and the tribulations of the sinning Tail" are over. Thank goodness for that. If the world would just take a warning and show some improvement, but the news of their execution had hardly come in before another brutal kidnaping and murder was reported from Flint, Mich.-?Florence NewsReview. 1 "* r _ <- ' Why Bunks Fail. Two or three banks have failed recently and failure in each case is attributed to the refusal of creditor banks to renew loans. One of the banks with a capital of $20,000 owed member banks $53,000. This defunct hank was unable to collect piomptly from its creditors and therefore could not pay its creditor banks what it owed them. The creditor hanks refused to renew the loans and the only thing the bank tould do was to close its doors. I hat is why a well-managed bank wants its money when its notes are due. A bank borrows the moncv if lends its customers. It obligates itself to return that money on a certain day. The money must be pai l back the day it is due or the bank's credit sutfers. A bank is supposed to pay back every penny it has bor v-ed during the year before the 1 the year. In other winds, ii 'list begin the New Year With a' clean sheet. Failure to do this in-i dicntes mismanagement or an un- ' healthy financial condition, and ex-1 cept in extreme cases creditor banks I "ill. nut_rene\\ loans or make ad- j ditknal advance-. The result i* the' bank is not able to pay its checks and is forced to close its doors. The j average layman finds It difficult to! analyze a bank statement. The tu.j important items in a bank -tatcmen are what the bank ode* and the amounl of cash it has on hard. If' a bank meets its obligations prompt-j I.v and sticks to the rule of beginning the New Year with a dean sheet its credit remains unimpaired and it is in position to get m..n.-v promptly fo. any emergency. \\ h,:n a man botrpws money fmm a bank he should now where the n. :ie\ is coming from to repay the loan when it is < u?.

I uko Clipping Bureaus. 1 "in all parts o/ the country std b?en noting complaints regard-' nK fake clipping bureaus, says an Arkansas weekly. They get hold ,,t local newspapers and then 1 write pcrion8*vho.se names they notxs in its column* that they wil. se.nd an interesting news item from some paper (never giving the name of the paper) for 25 cents. They violate no law for thes send the clipping as promised?but it is a pretty good idea just to drop the notice in the waste-basket unless you have more money than you know what to do with and think it worth 25 cents to find your name in print, no matter where or how or when or wh^. Ivammmm SOUTH CAROLINA NBW8 , Interesting BiU of New* Garnered From Many Pointu in State Gaffney it> offered a silk mill if she will buy $60,000 stock in it to match an equal amount hubacribed by Northern men. A committee of the chamber of commerce is working on the case. Dr. Mason Young, of Anderson, who was a medical missionary in China for twelve years, will return there and resume charge of the Elizabeth Blake Presbyterian hospital in Soo Chow. The Chinese took over the hospital and tried to operate it themselves, but now both the church and tin- Chinese authorities are begging Dr. Young to come back to it. A six year old boy, James Aldrich, of Great Fulls, was burned to death when his clothes caught fire when he walked through a burning straw field on his way home from school. The Presbyterian minister, Itev. E. D, < Wood, heard his cries and had hi a hands badly burned beating out the flames with his bare hands. He earned the boy home, and the little fellow died a few hours later. The oldest woman in South Carolina, Mrs. Elizabeth Kiser, died at the age of 10.'! years in Dorchester county, where she had lived for more than a century. Men in their seventics remember that she was a middle aged woman when they were children. She saw the Mexican war, the In-ginning of the railroad, the annexation of Texas, California and the Southwest, the advent of the telegraph, the steamship and coal oil, in addition to modern inventions. She was active until she broke her hip after she was a century old, and always was an interesting conversationalist. Her husband died forty years ago, and she leaves four children. Her funeral at the Methodist church in which she had been a pious member for many years was attended by a large concourse of people, including all the county officj ials of Dorchester county. In Bamberg county 400 acres of , tobacco for this year are pledged, and within the market radius of that town the acreage will be a thousand. The Bamberg chamber of commerce made a campaign for tobacco planting enough to establish a local market there. Officers and teachers at Winthrop College presented Dr. I). B. Johnson, president and founder of the institution, with a handsome gold watch Tuesday as a mark of their esteem and as a birthday gift. The watch is said to be of exquisite workman ship and bore a monetary value of approximately $500. The presentai lion was by Dr. James P. Kinard, representing the faculty. Buster Harris, a victim of the S-4 submarine disaster, was buried at his home town of Newberry on Sunday at the Baptist church of which he was a member. He was J2 years old and the son of Mrs. Hattie Harris who would not believe her son was in the submarine until his body was taken out of it.

The actual percentage un< les> than one-third of ,one per ci til. Other counties expected to be placed on the list later are AndgK - 11 n. Oconee, Greenville and Pickens. J. H. Bridwell took first ppize in the Greenville county cotton growing contest with 3,510 pounds of lint cotton to the five-acre tract, and he would have had more cotton exeent for damage done by hoppers. He got $50 in cash. The weight was net not counting bagging or ties. T. M. Verdfiw took second prize with a yield of 13 pounds to five acres, and third money went to W. H. Willimon for 3,000 pounds yield. A cold blooded murder is seen in the slaying of .i 15-year-old negro Sch?>ol girl on her *ay to school Mondn> morning on the Chester-Spartanburg road in western Chestwr county. Most of the girTs faee was blown away by a shot from a shotgun, ami she was found dead iir a big pool of blood. The girl was the daughter of Frank Roy d and lived close to the place die was killed.

Savannah, (in., is trying to induce the Lutheran church to move there its ' seminary from Columbia, Summerland college from Leesville, and Newberry college from Newberry. Savannah has no college of any kind and recognizes the value of educational institutions to u city. Spartanburg is anticipating with much interest the test flights to be made by the new mail plane pilots who will operate the New York-Atlanta route with Spartanburg us the principal Intermediate airport. The test flights will be made during March, and the mail carrying will begin April 1, after the entire route is lighted and completed in every way. A gift of $195,000 is to be devoted to search for a cure for the common cold, which with its consequences is regarded by Dr. J. Abel as the greatest cause of impairment of defficien- 1 cy from youth to middle age. The donor is the chemical foundation of the research will be by Dr. Abel, professor at Johns Hopkins, who is noted for the application of medical problems. Four of every ten men and women are disabled by colds each year. Seven officers of the Beaufort bunk and the South Carolina Agricultural association, institutions now dead, are being tried in the Federal court at Columbia on charges of conspiracy to defraud a Columbia bank and pf defrauding it out of about a million dollars. The trial may last three weeks, as more than two hundred witnesses have been subpoenaed. The defendants are W, E. Richardson, R. C. Home, Jr., Miss Beulah Harvey, liarry Bowers, N. P. Bryun, H. B. Mac*klin and W. R.

Atkinson is one of Let? County's best citizens and the bride is a young woman of many excellent qualities who has been with the Southern Bjjll telephone service herfe for a number of years and %Vno has scores of friends who regret that her marriage will take her away fiom Camden. Man Killed In Wreck. Dillon, Jan. 15.?John A. MeCall, of Dillon, was instantly killed, and Eugene Finnegan and Chess Bethea escaped injury at 2 o'clock this morning when the car in which they were returning from Florence turned over in a shallow creek, one mile south of Sellers. Mr. McCalPs neck was broken. W hile the other men were looking for help, a Ford car, belotigii/gi io a Latta negro, turned over on he opposite side of the road, and'it ?va.? believed for a while that men owned as their caps wrfrc found floating on the surface, HcAve\er, when pitchforks were si cured and attempts were made to locate the men thought to be drowned, sixteen hasf-gallon jars of whiskey were I brought up. Officers are now search-! ing for the fugitives, who no doubt escaped into the woods. . j Seventy Years a Member. A beautiful and impressive incident occurred during the morning service at the Methodist church last Sunday. Just after the morning offering had bean received the pastor, Rev. George Pierce. Watson, I staiw that he had a most unusual exriWff iertce and privilege at this mornSit. That many years ago a young mnh had been received into this Church"; that this clay marked the eighty-sixth anniversary of that young man's birth and this year marks the seventieth year of his church membership. Then he called the venerable gentleman, Mr. James R. DeLoache, to the front, gave Mm the right hand of congratulation and as "Uncle Jimmie stood there with tearrdimmed eyes mmi trembling lips, the large congregation arose en masse as a tribute of respect, esteem and love. It is devoutly hoped that his useful life may be spared for many more anniversaries. Soon after ho joined the church he was elected to official position and his name is still on the official roll, he being now a trustee of his church. , .

It la a pity for an able bodied man in his right senses to sell out what he has and quit work. It only means that he will lose lime and spend what little he has. We refer here to the many who may have a little business, a little farm or a little shop. They make up most of the sum total of the wealth of the country. .Some of them get tired although they have not worked very ' hard. They are blue and down at heart when they ought to be glad. They get worried and disgusted when there is nothing to be worried or disgusted about. Another man offers them the money they have saved and put into the property. They sell out and quit. I have never known t many to do this who did not hupt another place and lose heavily in the finding of it. Many have lost out that way forever and soon spent what little they had in searching for some easy place. So if you have the little business, the little farm or the little shop, stay with it and work it. Make it bigger and better. Since you are making a living at it, prize it and keep it.? Horry Herald.
