Barrett, an Augusta ((in.) man hinds his name In print as the subject of a human Interest story. Prior to his marriage twenty years ago, he made it u rule to save every ten ^eent piere that came into iiis possession. During the ensuing lapse of time he has bought and An a ta? these dime savings, and is driving his second automobile therefrom, He also owns a block of building and loan stock, the monthly payments for which come from his dime savings fund. Prior to the time he' Began the dime-savings ha! it, this man considered himself broke, down and out, just like many another one, who never saved anything nor gotten ahead. Had he waited until he had a dollur or a hundred dollars in his possession the chances are 1,000 to 1 he would never have been more than a good spender. But he came to himself and decided it was bettor to save a dime than save nothing. That was the big lesson he mastered. So manv people can never get that point drilled into their heads. It is far better to save a dime, or even a penny and add othei dimes or pennies there to, than to live right up to the earning capacity every (lay. -There is n<> luck or short cut to getting ahead if you haw to depend solely on your callings. It is the >ame straight narrow path of sclfdenial, thrift, prudence and economy. ?Spartanburg Journal. Character Counts Most It is an old story, hut one whim illustrates many things in business. First of all, character; second, the va'uo (?f reputation, which oftentimes is made up of little incidents like the choosing of associates. A man with high character hut no assets called on the elder Morgan for a loan. Mr. Morgan listened to him, then put on his hat and asked the applicant to accompany him down the street. They walked out of the Morgan offices, down Wall street for several blocks, Mr. Morgan bowing and speaking to acquaintances as he went along. Finally, Mr. Morgan turned, shook the man by the hand and bad-' him good-day. The applicant for tho loan said, "But, Mr. Morgan, how about the loan?" Mi Morgan replied: "I have maii i' i' blc for you to get your loan m char.iK i- much more natufal thaui Iroin me. Any of the men who saw J y?.u w.;i. niy :h;- morning will he glad to entertain \our proposition.? Nation'* Business.

ItiiHineHH Supper of Commerce Body ? . . # -.V ' The regular monthly busine?? ?upj j>er of the Camden and Kershaw ] County chamber of commerce wax ! held Wednesday evening at the Palmetto Tea room. Various routine ! business was disposed of and plans 1 for the body's future efforts dis1 cussed. Work on the completion of the membership drive for the current year was inaugurated. The directors will undertake this canvass during the final three days of this week. A movement to have signboards advertising Woodward Field, Camden's airport which is now undc construction, was set on foot and tbiough the joint efTocts gf the tra4a body, the eity and the county, should soon become a reality. A committee was appointed to increase the material support of the city rest room. L. J. Whitaker was made chairman of this committee. Plans were laid for the annua) chamber of commerce banquet. It was planned to make thi^ annual treat u particularly festive occasion this year. U will probably be held sometime in February. The efficient service being rendered the community by the chamber of commerce office under the capable direction of its new secretary, Mrs. Mary Pearee, was commented upon. Mrs. Pearee is attending to a heavy daily mail and at the same time r??ndering the community and transients innumerable and varied services.

On Making A Newspaper (Jetting out a good newspaper is a fascinating task, hut it is also a difficult one, says the Redwood, Minn., (ia/.ette. No other job that cornea to mind is quite so taxing, so hurried or demands greater pains. From the moment a newspaper is started, be either daily or weekly, the work is carried on under pressure, a race against time'. Put yourself in an editor' position?could you do it? < <>uld you, for example, spell eorrei! y, offhand, the names of a large' p? i. < ntage ?.f the residents of th s town? If \"U could do that, con 1 1 yo;, write their initials correctly without resort i tig to the telephone directory or othei authority? Could you write d.-wn. offhand, the names ofj your city officials, your school board,' your coun'v officials, \.-ur leading) state and national official.- getting a1! the names, initials and offices correct ? Could you gather the threads of a story from half a dozen persons and weave them into an intelligent, readable account the first writing. Could you write seven columns of material of 1 ,200 to 1,400 words each in two or thtee days, week after week, year after year, and when you had finished tho>e seven, pound out two or three columns more before press . time? In writing a headline, could you call to mind in a moment enough synonyms so that you would not repeat the main thought in the same words? Could you judge in a minimum of time what size headlines, and what position in tin paper, -hould bo given to each-ot the 75, 100 or more >torie- that might go into your I paper? i ..Jul > u declue in a mome*-'. or exercee "snap" judgmen., oi. the dozens of question- a new papcr n.i!, nui.-t face da 'v and got! a ina.i. \ ! tin ni correvL. AY n't tire you?but if y? i could] do -e few simple things and a . thousand and one more difficult ones, > u should in- a newspaper ed tor. The point we wish to make is, that one can produce a good newspaper ' only after continual, diligent study and years of practical experience. You have heard dozens of persons remark that they could turn out a newsI paper, and a good one, too. a bit better, in fact, than the one they are getting. That is not true, unless they | have gone through the years and j study that a good newspaper de: niands of its makers. Were it not for the peculiar fascination associated with newspaper ! work, there would be no newspapers, for there is n.? greater taskmaster and money would be far too scant compensation.

Abbott, president of the Abbott Ho tels corporation, which operates the Kirkwood hotel at Camden, in a letter to Coleman W. Roberts, general manager of-the South Carolina Motor club. In his letter he expressed the earnest hofie that the plan of ttyo state highway commission f6r the immediate completion of the state highway system would be adopted. Pointing out the need of a connected highway system all over the state, Mr. Abbott, in his letter calls particular attention to what he.terms "a tragic need of the paving of highway No. 1" "It is said th^t the Northern tourists spent upwards of five hundred millions of dollars in the South last winter."' says Mr. Abbott. "This is a crop not affected by drought, flood or boll weevil. Did South Carolina get her share?' Just so long as South Carolina has a climate that it has, 1H hours from New York City, :t is going to attract more and more wealthy people, who, after they become 'sold on this delightful state and its climate," are going to invest here; take Camden for an example. "Weather like that which we huv:ha.i the past few days puts the xoaJ-. in >u. h condition that the people go into Florida with anything but a bo">t for South Carolina and he ro:ei system, and when we think that tin road is practically through, with tin exception of about 00 miles, it i.-> too bad that something cannot' be do?;**. I o my mind, South Carolina offer - a > much to the Northern tourist as any other Southern state and ultimately it should come into its own. us a tuurist center." Head of State Farm Passes Suddenly Funeral services for James L. Irby, 02-year-old superintendent of the .Reid state farm, who died of a hear; attack at his home on the farm Wednesday morning, were held at the Quaker cemetery in thi city Thurs-, day afternoon at two o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. T. L. Willingham of the Wateree Bapti.-. church assisted by Rev. J. A. Crook, pastor of the Methodist church a' Rembert. Mr. Irby was a native of Laureiio county where he leaves a large and prominent family connection. He was the son of the late James Henderson Irby and On ah Lou Irby. Mr. Irby had been identified with the management < : the state's penal institutions fur thirty-six years and had been serving as supcriuter dent of the Ke-shaw . ounty farm fur more than twenty years. A widow, formerly Miss Eva Gardner of this county, and the following children survive: Miss Eva Irby, student at Winthrop college; Miss Henrietta Irby and Albert Irby, students at Charlotte Thompson High school near Boykin. Police authorities of Watertown, Mass., are having some difficulty in fully deciding whether or not Mrs. Babe Ituth, whose body was found in the ruins of a house burned near there last Friday night, was simply a victim of the fire, or whether she had met with foul play und the house fired to cover up the crime.

I JL ing Farmall tools and' equipment as they havt J in developing the FarmalL It's the combination of I the Farmall with its easy handling and accurate work-? ing tools that make it the phenomenal success it is. 1 The McCormick-Deering Farmall is not the fir* 1 general-purpose tractor to be 'bSered to farmers. 1 Tractors designed for all-crop power farming were I built ten years ago. But they got nowhere because I the manufacturers forgot or did not know that \ 1 really successful general-purpose tractor must start 1 from the implement end. It must work right with | the various plows, cultivators, planters, mowers and I other specialized tools. The Farmall is a system of farming, capable of cutting cost^ in general farm production to the bone. Farmall results have built Farmall demand. A " Farmall will pay on any farm of 50 acres or* more," Talk it over with your McCormick-Deering dealer. International Harvester Company 606 So. Michigan Ave. Chicago, 1IL i USE FARMALL with the 2 or 4-row planter and you will put in 25 to 60 acres of corn in an 8-hour day, and <idrit easily. With the 4-row cultivator on the Farmall, also shown here, you can clean the rows at the rate oi 35 acres in an 8-hour day, in early cultivation, and over 50 acres a day in later cultivating. At haying time, Farmall with 7'foot power-driven Farmall mower will easily cut 25 acresoi the heaviest hay in an 8-hour day. By adding a 7-foot trailer mower, ae shown here, you can cut 50 acres, and more, tnj " day. At raking, tedding, on the sweep rake, loading, hauling, etc., the Farmall means new economies and new profits.
