Carnes, former treasurtbe home mission board of the bern Baptist Convention, is an from which the general citizenof this country will derive much fiction, says The Greenville mes is charged with shortages u accounts of approximately a n dollars, resulting from criminisappropriation olf ?unds entrusthis cave over a period of years. ?tion-wide search has been conI for him, with police officers irivate citizens on the alert in rts of the country. But though eluding the chase for several weeks, Carnes has been unable to give the law the slip permanently. The episode is encouraging as a further demonstration of. the fact that it is very difficult for persons who commit crime or who are accused of crime to escape if human society is determined that they' shall be apprehended and punished. When society really goes earnestly about the task of capturing a eriminftl and punishing him for his crimes, his chance of permanent escape is small. 'Where violations of law liourish, and few of the violators are adequately punished, the cause may usually be found in a lax public sentiment that fails to make the laws effective. In the case of vsfrious other legal regulations it is frequently the case that such a sentiment is lacking. The fundamental difference is that I society looks upon the ordinary crimes with a distinct sense of social injury. It is therefore moved to effective action. In the case of some other laws, the sense of injury resulting from the acts legally barred, is lacking. The test, therefore, of whether a law may be expected to be enforced with reasonable degree of effectiveness, probably lies in the question of whether or not society generally actually does feel a strong sense of injury in the commission of the acts which the law aims to stop. I : * J. Monroe Spears Darlingtyn, Oct. 11.?J. Monroe Spears, 54, one of the best known and most prominent citizens of Darlington county and well known all over South Carolina, died at^his residence on Cashua street at an early hour this morning. For some years Mr. Spears had been in impaired health. Two years ago this became more serious and only a few month? ago his physician ordered him to take special care of himself. Monday morning he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never rallied, death following this morning. Mr. Spears was born at Lamar, this county, February 15, 1874, and his entire life was spent here. No man was better knowrf throughout the county. Very few had as many friends and none exceeded him in public spirit. Between twelve and fifteen thousand members of the Brotherhood of Railroad and Express Clerks of New York and vicinity, went on a strike Tuesday night. The seniority rule is claimed to be the cause of the strike. Members of the St. Louis Cardinals, losers in the world series of baseball games, are to get $4,197 each as their share of the losers' end of the world series money. The total divided was | $117,526.25. I C ' . Hi HHT a R. E. CHEWNING * Contractor and Builder Camden, S.

What Cuonliiwrn a iUdio? 1 saw an "ad" in the paper the i>t,her tluy about as follows: "Highgrade Muscadine, 6-tube I'adio, only $47.39." i said?"Now's my chance to j get a tine radio at the right price." 1 knew all along that sooner or later radios were going to be lower in price, and i decided that that time bad come. Well, 1 managed to borrow $45.00 and took the $2.39 that 1 saved up this year by stuying away from picture shows, and not chewing any ! chewing gum, and proceeded forthwith to the radio shop to set myself up to thi^jjargain. As-T walked in, I saw my radio'I setting over in one corner marked: ' Special, Only $47.39." I said to myself?there she is, and she's a beauty, It !j?.ked for the world like a 1915 Foul tool box, but that's the way all ^ of them look now, unless, of course you want it in a cabinet or wash stand, or somethin'. _________ The radio man shook hands with me and 1 told him my business, and he said?"'Yes sir, old man, here's the most wonderful instrument that has been discovered since Christmas Columbus sailed across the Pacific? only $47.39." I bold him I'd take it. He said?"That's fine, and now you'll need one of our 'Roaring-bull' loud speakers." I responded?"Why, hasn't my radio a loud speaker?" He laughed at my ignorance, and said? "Oh, no, the speaker is extra: it's only $30.00, including the tax." I told him I'd take it too, but he'd have to take my note for it. He replied: Sure I will,?I'll let you sign our continued-ownership-till-paid-for note" I flinched, and said O. K. That made it cost only $77.39.. Then my radio friend remarked casually,?"And the tubes are only $40.00. I hit back at him and said "thehellyousay ? Aint the dernad radio got no tubes in it?" and he said ?"Why, no. They are extra, but I can include them in your ownership note." That got my radio up to $117 .39, but we had done set our heart | on the thing. He began to pack up the stuff but kept on talking: "And, by the way, the aerial won't cost you but $25.00 set up, and the present price on a complete set of batteries is only $26.50." 1 fainted?when I came I heard the doctor saying: He'if be all right by morning. He keeps saying that if automobiles were sold like radios, a fellow wouldn't get anything but the radiator, and everything else is extra." I am still doing without a radio.

Cotton Letter New York, Sept. 29.-*fThe market has not recovered from the last government estimate at which time it broke $7.00 per bale, or $101,743,000.00 on the probable crop for the current year. The farmers can bear this, burden just as easy as they have always done. Spots were weak about noon when it became noised about that Al. Smith used a linen instead of a cotton handkerchief and chewed Brown's Mule tobacco. Hoover promises to help agriculture; so, fellers, bang up your sock just as he moves in. The present market is a weather market: it goes down whether or not it rains or the sun shines. Politics and boll weevils continue to be a ruling factor in the nearby months, therefore?we advise selling before something worse happens.
