C., Friday, April 27, 1#28 A ltocky Road Speaking1 i??fore the Furman University luw students, Circuit Judge Willium II. Grim ball said that any way in which a man makes an honefet living in South (Carolina is a rocky road. He never said a truer thing in his life: nor have we heard wiser words lately from anybody else. There are folks who make part of a living apd beat the rest off tiieir creditors. There are folks who make part of a living and get the rest from their relativea and friends. Naturally enough, the relatives and friends get tired of putting up and stop it. Hut the man who keeps four square with all ins obligation* and mukoa the whole of a living travels a rocky road. And he is something of a hero whether he looks like it or no-t.? Bennettsville Advocate. That Childish Thrill We are wondering how many parents around Lancaster are taking the children into consideration while planning, or starting work on this year's garden. Somehow many of us forget as we grow older, the thing that gave us happiness in our younger years. Parents quickly lose sight of the thrill tl.cy used to get out of ;? few garden seeds and a few feet of syil entrusted to their care. Yet, when reminded of it, they ure as quick to realize that their own children would find the same privilege equally us thrilling. So why not set aside a few seed and certain /ows, or a special spot, 'irf the garden for the children. Let them feel that they, too, are doing something to shure the responsibility of providing the dining table with life sustaining food. It isn't expense, it is far from being a waste of time, and anyone who knows the thrill that comes to a child permitted to have a hand in the gardenmaking knows its value to them it. contentment and happiness. Take the children into consideration?let them have a garden, too. -Lancaster News. The Wages of Sin W hen men do evil, tho pity of it is that they never suffer alone for their wrong doing. Others have to suffer with them. We have a poignant reminder of this truth in the news from ( hicago, that Jacob Franks is dead, having reached the end only through prolonged decline. His little boy, Hobby, was the chosen victim of Nathan Iveopold and Richard Loeb four years ago next nil nth. 1 hose two young men were sons of near neighbors of Frank's. Their repulsively brutnl murder and bestowal of the body in a culvert so wrought upon the father of the victim as to destroy his health and bring him finally to the grave. Nor has this death b*HMi tho only "one. ^ oung Loeb s father did not long survive the tearful shock of his son'* crime. Nor has the end of that dark story been told yet. fof there are others in tho families concerned, whose suffering has been and still is a sore and heavy burden.?Spartanburg Herald. ? Concerning Children Your child spends a good deal of time m school. The school, inasmuch as it is commissioned to impart knowledge to your chrld is of vital concern to the child and to you. Are you jiersonrtlly acquainted with the teacher? Are you personally acquainted with the principal? F.ven though, unfortunately, we do not have in the city Parent-Teacher associations to make easy the contacts that lead to such acquaintanceship, it is your duty to know and to help the school authorities in direct control of your child. Take the time to visit them. They will 'be glad of your interest.- -Greenville Piedmont. Advertising and Failures A Chicago advertising man, ..fiftor studying business failures in .34 leading cities, announce* that M4 per cent of the firms t.hnt wont under were not newspaper advertisers. That little story points its own lesson. The world may very well make a beaten path to your door if you are manufacturing a better mousetrap than your neighbor, but first of all it has to know that you are doing it. The business head whe thinks he can get along without advertising is trying to live in an outworn era.?Gastonia Gazette.

" ' ~ German Irish Air Heroes Crosq Atlantic i mmmi mwmvx iowsssv+'M mwi A non-stop HiK>)t from Europe to North America, the first ever /riade, was accomplished by Captain Hermann Koehl, chief pilot, Col. James Fitzmaurice and Freiherr Ehreniricd Gunther von Huenefeld, who landed safely on Greenly Island in Belle. Isle Straits, near Labrador, in the Junkers monoplane Bremen Lack of fuel caused by strong headwinds and fog made the landing on Greenly Island necessary. Millions of people waited anxiously for news of them while their fate hung in the balance on Friday, April 1^,^ Tho Junkers monoplane Bremen (lew blindly through the skies without lights or any means of holding to the course for hours before it landed on Greenly Island, the first detailed reports of the (light received today through the Canadian press revealed. The situation was serious toward the end. A Grenfeil Mission nurse who went to the island by dog sled, told the Globe and Telegraph Journal of St. John, N. B., that Baron von Buenefeld sponsor of the (light, decided to shoot his companions and himself if the worst came to the worst. Cable dispatches the day the Bremen left Ireland told of the Baron arming himself for emerg n -y t?fore he took off. But when hope was almost gone the lighthouse on Creenly Island was sighted and a landing made. As the (tiers stepped from their damaged plant, the Grenfeil nurse said, they all exclaimed "Thank God," the Baron and' Captain Kohel in Go-man and Major Fitzmaurice in English. While these first authentic reports were coming in preparations went forward for the Bremen's crew to continue to New York, leaving their trans-Atlantic plane behind them to he shipped later to Halifax for repairs. The news that the Bremen's lighting system failed toward the end of its journey was wirelessed to the Canadian Press from Point Amour the station which sent out the first word of the Bremen's arrival. The Baron was quoted as estimating that 1 the Bremen flew 400 miles without any lights by which to read the instruments and to this he attributed the fact that the Bremen (lew far co the north of its intended course. At dawn o?f the second day, he said, a blizzard forced the plane dangerously low as it approached1 the New foundland coast and when the light on Greenly Island was seen it was at once decided to try a landing. The Grenfell nurse was Miss Greta Ferris, who with other mission workers traveled 15 miles across the ice from the mainland for the first interview with the fliors. She said that although the aviators had been through a terrible ordeal in the air and the Baron had been near exhaustion and still felt the cold keenly, she and her companions were' received cordially. The fliers signed their autographs and posed for pictures and when the women loft the Baron kissed their hands with punctilious Old World courtesy. Is Miss'Ferris said she learned that fog was encountered during almost all the 36 hours the Bremen was in the air and that when the Greenly Island light was first seen the fliers thought it was a fishing steamer caught in the ice and decided to make the landing in which the ice and the little pond on which the Bremen was i brought down was broken. The airmen had to flounder through the water to safety. She said the first thing done for them at the island lighthouse was to give them dry footwear. and then they were given .i meal of frrsh milk and biscuits.

Antioch Club To Meet The Antioch Democratic Club will meet Saturday, April 28, 1028, at Antioch School house for the purpose of reorganizing and electing delegates to the County Convention. C. K. McCASKIUL, President. Would Cost Ixits of Money Asking the attitude of Chester county citizens relative to the formation of the proposed new county of Cata-vVba, to lie made up of portions jof Chester, Kershaw, Fairfield, and Lancaster counties with Great Falls as the county seat. Hon. David Hamilton, one of the leading attorneys and politicians of Chester, who is in orkville this week as a special judge over the court of general sessions, replied: "Why, to be frank about it, our people do not think there is any probability of a new county being formed and from'what I can gather [the great majority of the people of [Great Falls are content to remain , where they are?in Chester. Chester now has a bonded indebtedness of more than a million dollars for roads, new court house, county horn and other purposes and should people living in the Great Falls area decide to leave, why they would still have to pay in Chester county their proportionate part of this indebtedness you know. And conditions fij nancial, like those in York, are not so prosperous in Chester county right now and the outlook is not so bright as it might be. No, I don't think there is much to this talk of a new county of Catawba with Great Falte as a county seat and there isn't much talk about it."?Yorkville Enquirer.
