BEATEN llEFOkE HE STARTED It in all over now and we can all settle down to our work once mor3 minus the distraction of a continual discussion about who is going to win or loae, and how. Governor A1 Smith aa the leader of the Democratic party, and his running mate Senator Joe T. Robinson, have made a clean and gallant fight for Democracy but the country has turned its back upon them and the party they represented. So be it. There is not much light ahead lor the south but we muat strive to mak3 & r' the beat of what we have and keep fighting. It is plain enough that whatever votes went to Governor Smith went to him on the strength of his personality his spotless record and his great, ability. Where he lust out was in belonging to the Democratic party and to the Catholic church. The result proves thut he was beuten before he started to run. With Hoover in the White House it will be a case of "on with the noble experiment of prohibition." Certainly no sensible person can look to the Republican wets for dry symV p&lhy. For the farmer it will mean continued poverty, inasmuch as Hoover has about $is much sympathy with a plain farmer as he has for the average person of small means. Riches, not poverty appeal to our new president and it is to "him that hath" that he will turn the bright sunlight of his favors. For four years at least and possibly more we shall see in force tho cold Coolidge policies, shall feel the strong hand of predatory wealth, and may yet live to see the White House itself dissolved and distributed anion;; the greedy of the Republican klan. The southern states which boltoci to the (?. O. P., including Florida and Virginia and possibly North Carolina, will sweat blood before they can reach down in their pockets and finger thi' coins of the prosperity promised by Mr. Hoover. The people of the United States have approved the administration of their government by a party that has been branded by the courts as despoliers of public property. Thank goodness South Carolina is not among these who have their hands out.? Florence N e w s - Re v i e w.

Ensign John H. Gotjen, of Charleston, was killed near Pensacola, Fla.. when he was hit by the propeller of his airplane after making a landing in a field. Arthur W. Watts, a Columbia painter, fell from the top of a smoke stack at the gas plant and was killed by breaking his neck, two hours before he was going to the funeral of his mother. Pulls Horse Tail; Dead Greensboro, Nov. 1.?The fiveyear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Gatewood, who lives three miles from Madison, Rockingham county, met death when kicked by a horse, it was learned here tonight. The child was said to have bee.; playing with other children in a neighbor's barn lot and was pulling at the horse's tail when kicked. When help arrived the boy was dead. THIS WEEK By Mum mmgm I] Mr. Brisbane'* editorial* are published aa expressions of opinion* ?ot the world's highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle doe# not necessarily endorse all of hi* views and conclusions. The American Association for the Advancement of Atheism demands a high powered radio station in New York City and does not get it, although the easiest way to make an atheist ridiculous is to let him talk. It is hard to understand how anybody could talk atheism, knowing that his voice propelled by a power beyond comprehension, travels around the world through the mysterious ether. Atheists, young ones, especially, might meditate on (one of Bacon's collected apothegms: Simonidcs, being asked of Hiero, "what he thought of God," asked a seven night's time to consider of it; and at the seven nightB* end he asked a fortnight's time, at the fortnight's end, a month. At which Hiero marvelling, Simonides answered "that the longer ho thought upon the matter the more difficult he found it." The more glibly you answer King Hicro's queBt^ijt leB8 you know. Congratulation^ to Secretary Wilbur, who has ordered for our navy two dirigibles that will be the biggest in the world. They will be tnree times as big as the Los Angeles, one third bigger than the German giant Count Zeppelin and each will carry, under the great gas bag, five airplanes for scouting. The Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation will build them and friendly nations abroad are informed that we do not t intend to be taken by surprise. A fleet of such dirigibles, each carrying fifty tons of explosives and modern war gas, able to unleash one hundred fast destructive planes, could leave with Uncle Sam's compliments 1 a visiting card in Europe or Asia ^ that would not soon be fdrgotten. ? We make war on no nation, but we 1 should be ready and able to fill with subsequent regret any one attacking 1 us. j William W. Breck, retired business .man, fell dead while playing golf. U* was sixty-four years old. At sixty-four, make-no violent effort, unless a good doctor has pronounced your heart "fool proof." Golf is good for old men that play, as they should, talking, laughing, walking slowly. It's dangerous for those that strain and strive to better their game. Remember, old gentlemen, that whether you go around in 130 or 103, the cosmos will roll on, just the same. Treat an old heart as you would a delicate vase, not as you would treat an old rubber boot. Americans are not going backward, Physically, at least. Girls are taller and stronger than eVer. And among 100 candidates reporting for freshman crew practice at Cornell yesterday, 48 w"ere 6 feet tallf a good sign. A well-balanced body, of good size, about 6 feet, is the right sort. In old days, a Napoleon had to be short. If he had been a little taller he would have been killed by the first of the bullets that went an inch above . his head ______ No wonder American boys and girls grow. The nation's food bill is twenty-three thousand million dollars. Forty-seven thousand, nine hundred and eighty-flve factories of different kinds turn out food products, assisted by 6,448,366 farmers. And 22 per cent of the food plants produce ninetenths of the food products. Shiver at that, if you dread monopoly. It is a rich country that can afford to eat twenty-three billions worth of food in a year. Much of it, unfortunately, is wasted. This country, after all its spending for food, clothing and other necessities, has a "social surplus" of Ten thousand million dollars, more than the country needs for its living. That is what builds up values, savings bank accounts and Wall Street prices. The quail shooting season in Calhoun county, owing to the recent rains which delayed hatching, will not open until December 25th, and will close March 1st, ~ * " ?<< V Dr. Frank\Crane Says: War Anywhere IMumUoiu President Coolidge delivered a met age on Decoration Day of this year in which he pointed out the fact that no matter where a war might break out in the world It would be prejudicial to this country. War is simply lawlessness and destruction aiwth? commercial interests of the'United States today are so widespread, our investments and trade relations are so far reaching thut it is almost impossible to conceive of any conflict anywhere on earth which would not affect us injuricurtly. 'J he President also stressed the fact that the United States is engaged In warfare only for the protection of American citizens. It is incumbent upon every nation to protect its own citizens. 1 Unfortunately the plan of Woodrow Wilson for a league of nations did not receive universal aupporfc. While this writer enthusiastically supported Mr. Wilson's idea he holds no brief for any one plan. Equally to be approved are the efforts of Secretary of State Kellogg to conclude a treaty with European powers for the complete outlawry of war. Just so wc arrive at a stage of civilization where war is not countenanced and glorified it makes no difference by what route we get there. Mr. Coolicige also laid stress upon the best argppnent of the most intelligent pacifists, to wit, that " the | chief defenses of America lie not in her armed forces but in the industry, j prosperity and patriotism of har people; these ai*e of far greater importance than preparedness." The same day at Thiaucourt, France General Pershing addressed an audience where he said that "millions of graves cry out against war, and the big nations must show the way tb durable peace." & He continued that war threatened j civilization because of the "fallacious! theory that war is an essential ele-j ment in the national policy of aj government," and an erroneous belief that nations become great through aggressive undertakings. General Pershing insisted that history disproves that the expansion ot one modern civilized nation at the ex-, pense of the other can be permanent.' "There would appear to be- no; longer any reason," he said, "why j the leading civilized powers could rf<n agree among themselves to the general principal of the elimination of war as an avowed instrument of national policy." It need not interfere with the necessities of reasonable armament, he said, "nor the fulfillment of consistent obligations." The day is coming when public opinion, that final arbitor of destiny, will rapidly turn against war. AGED WOMAN PASSES I Judith McManus Said to Have Reach , ed Great Age of 120 Years Judith McManus, a negro woman, and perhaps the oldest person ia South Carolina, died on October 18, on the plantation of Mr. J. A. Aran;, near Pageland, in Chesterfield county. They do not know her exact birthday but by tracing records back they know that she was .120 years old. She was brought from "Sumter district" when she was 11 years old and sold, to Mr. Calvin Massey, Mr. Arant's uncle, for $450.00. She married Jim McManus many years before the war and became the mother of four children, all of whom were born before the war and died while young. She lived with Mr, Massey until the war. But neither war nor anything else could sever the tie that bound her faithful heart to those she lovingly- salted hCr "white' folks." She joined the "white folks" Baptist church at Taxahaw, S. C^ where she kept her membership as long as she lived. She was baptized by a white preacher. Rev. Nathan Faile. She lived a consistent Christian life and died in the faith. Her husband died aboutv25 years ago. She had lived with Mr. Arant'* family through all the years. After she became so old that she could no longer help with the farm work, Mr. Arant, with the beautiful friendship that the true-hearted Southern man: has for the faithful negro, infused to let any board of pensio^g provide for her but fed her from his town table through her last years. About fotir months ago he saw that she was getting quite feeble so he hired a woman to wait ojv and care for her, though she did not become entirely helpless aaitlong as she lived. She was buried at Oak Hill cemetery near the. .Arant plantation. Funeral services were conducted by a colored preacher, Rev. J. T. Martin. He read the 90th and 2Srd Pslams.?Pageland j Journal. -ir. \ j Savage Elected Head of Chamber Tha election of tbo officers and directors of tho Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce for the ensuing year was completed AVedijeeday when Henry Savage, Jr, was named president with W.

J., last week, was found to contain twenty demijohns of 100 gallons each containing rum. The liquor was valued at $40,000. The hoofs were loaded into' a freight car at Key West, Fla.

Two Women Murdered Dallas, Texas, Noy.jJS.?1^1 e bodies of Mrs. Bessie Lynch, 21, and Miss Cleo Denton, 19, of Dallas, were found at the edge of a corn field three miles'wes't of Dallas yesterday. Both skulls had been crushed and there was a knife wound in Miss Denton's throat. Apparently the woman had been killed late Saturday afternoon or early Sunday morning. Two boys, hunting pecans in the vicinity stumbled upon one of the bodies and immediately telephoned detectives, who later discovered the other. Both women apparently had been beaten to death with some tool from an automobile. The stab wound in Miss Denton's neck was not considered serious enough to have caused 'death. Near the bodies detectives found the tracks of an automobile which had been driven into the field turned and driven out again. The broom corn in the' vicinity gave evidence of a struggle and blood spots were found on the ground.
