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.?

A new process for making steel
from iron ore without the use of
coal or coke, but using any available
fuel producing heat of lower temperatures
than coal or coke, has been
announced at Washington, the discovery
of Prof. William Smith of the
University of Dotx*oit?
A Los Angeles, Cal., woman has
been granted a divorce on the ground
that her husband objected to her support
of Herbert Hoover for the presidency
instead of Alfred E. Smith.
She alleged that her husband beut
her because she would not agree with

Gatewood, who lives three miles from
Madison, Rockingham county, met

learned here tonight.

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,

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.

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.
