Camden, H. 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.

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

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^.

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. , .

Sell Out Spend Oat.
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.?
