The Chronicle this week in its news
columns tells of an unusual building
program now going on in Camden.
The expenditures will run well over
seventy thousand dollars for new residences.
This docs not entirely cover
the building activity in and around
Camden. Out at Springdale, Ernest
Ij. Woodward, is expending an immense
amount of money constructing
a race course where ? steeplechase
events may be held. Then too, Woodwurd's
money is erecting a hangar ut
the WoodwrLQ^pirport which will cost
around ten Thousand dollars. Twenty
thousand dollars or more is being
spent on the Wateree toll bridge in
replacing flooring and supports.
While this work is slow, owing to \
the fuct that the bridge has to be
kept open for traffic while the work !
is going on, passengers are already
enjoying the greater comfort in (
crossing the bridge. I'his building ,
program fits in well now while farm
operations are at a standstill on account
of the rainy spell and fits in
well for furnishing a payroll for
many who would otherwise be unemployed.
How to Keep From Growing Old
Always drive fast out of alloys.
Always race with locomotives to (
crossings. Engineers like it; it
breaks the mononony of their jobs.
Always pass the car ahead on
curves or turns. Don't use your horn,
it may unnerve the other fellow and
cause him to turn out too far.
Demand half the road?the middle
half. Insist on your rights.
Always speed; it shows people you
are a man of pep, even if you are an
amateur driver.
Never stop, look or listen at railroad
crossings. It consumes time.
Drive confidently, just as though
there -were eighteen million other
cars in service.
Always lock your bjyikes when
skidding. It makes the-job more artistic.
Always pass cars r?n hills; it
shows more power, and you can turn
out if you meet a car on top.
In sloppy weather drive close to
pedestrians! Dry cleaner* appreciate
it.
Never look around when you back
up. There is never anything behind
you.?Exchange.
Should Double In Price
It is so easy to get rich these days.
There are so many kind persons who
will tell you how to Invest your
money?provided they get a fee for
so doing.
There came to one man in Columbia?probably
to some dozens of men
and women, too, for that matter a
circular nicely printed, and in hig
black type "A Stock That Should
Double In Price."
The circular then goes on to- tell
why it should double in price.

out obligation, and to facilitate this
one of these modern up-to-date envelopes,
needing no stamps, was enclosed
with the circular, and all you
have to do is to fill out the coupon
on the bottom of the circular, put it
in the envelope and the anxious friend
at the other end of the line will pay.
the postage.
This circular i* one of probably
tons of thousands that have Wen >ent
out to persons in the I nited Sta.o>
and Canada. It is the only one of
its kind. Similar ones for the pn*t
two or three years have been flooding
the mails. All of them find ther
center of proposed investment in Wall
Street.

daily, and it has been catching many

have been registered through W all
Street tickers in the past few years.
It is worse than a national lottery.
It is just as seductive. It is mere
wasting.
Talk about Congressional investigations,
and denying the use of the

scheme. There is no more profitable
field in which to work than this wild

Remarkable Figures.
W, T. Anderson, editor of the Macon
Telegraph, was making a speech
last Friday in Atlanta, in which he !
argued for the issue of state bonds to j
build paved roads. The state of Georgia
seems to be getting stirred up
over the road condition at last. Mr. 1
Anderson cited some figures, which
provide startling proof of what muddy
roads cost.
Applying the Iowa state highway's '
method of computation to the 31ffc.'|
000 cars in Georgia, he estimated th%t
paved highways would reduce totgl '
operating cost by $74,000,000 a yea*,'
This is an average of about $235 petcar,
which seems to us exaggerated.
Still, if half or a third of that estimated
saving could be made annually*
it would richly justify getting th#
paved highways as soon as.possible/H
Car manufacturers and dealers will'I
not be so pleased to learn that a dti*
cline of 25,000 cars bought in North:
Carolina in 1927 as compared with t
previous years wak attributed by ttyo '
highway authorities to the longe^'
'endurance of cars, delaying necessity
for replacement. Mr. Anderson, alitor- '
ing an average of $800 per car, fig-'1
ures that fully $20,000,000 was saved |
North Carolinians by that fact. UriT

Things That Are Illegal
Everybody knows that the states
and cities of America have passe^
scores of odd or foolish laws that
no one obeys or even knows about.
Rut did you ever check up to see
just exactly how weird some of them
are 7 <
The Portland (Ore.) News recent|
ly presented a compilation of some
of them. The list makes interesting
reading?proving, as it does, how
easy it is to get a law passed to
remedy any imaginable kind of abuse.
In Seattle, for instance, it is
against the law to sprinkle salt on
thg sidewalk" in the wintertime to
melt the snow. Everybody does it,
and nobody knows there's a law
against it?but the law is there, just
the same. In the old days, it seems,
I the salt would run into the gutters,
form a brine and injure horses' hoofs.
Los Artgeles has a law forbidding
street car conductors to shoot jack
i rabbits from the car platforms.
, In New York State it is illegal to
truvel more than twenty miles to
-church on Sunday. ? iIn
Massachusetts it is against, the
law to travel at all on Simday x"e*v'

Kansas has forbidd. n the spitting'

Head that list, roth t that it only'
hits the high spots, and ask yourself
if it would be a g od idea to get
i together and rid ou- -tatute books of
all such dizzy laws. Anderson Daily

AN OATH BETWEEN FRIENDS Ij
South Carolina Editor Hay* it Rather ,
Umms Credibility of a Man (
r - *v'' r
^Would you believe that man on
his oath?" said a spectator who waa
looking on aa a witness of genus
homo was about to take the stand in
a celebrated case.
"I would believe'him sooner if he
were not on his oath" said another
rube.who was standing by and look*
ing on as the contest of wits was
about to begin.
The Horry Herald is moved by this
incident to philosophise about the
value of an oath, in court and out,
especially where friendship is involved,
and that paper suys:
It was a foolish expression, made
by one who did not appear to have
much sense. That was what you
might think when you first heard the
expression. As you turned the thing
over in your mind, however, you began
to see that there was good common
sense in what that rube said.
"If that fella was not on his oath,
he would not be expected to lie for
somebody, ile is on his oath,
bo he knows that somebody is expecting
him to tell u few lies for
them. Were he not sworn and posted
along certain lines he would act free
and easy. I would sooner believe
him then and I would expect him to
tell the truth more or less."
This and other explanations were
made in the conversation which followed,
and it showed that there is
very little faith placed by the common
run of the people in the fact
that man must hold up his hand
und kiss the book before he goes
ahead to testify in the trials of the
court.
The fact is that no honest mail
ever needed an oath to make hini
tell the truth. Honesty and high
class integrity of men and women
now or any other time is all that is
needed to insure that the truth is
told by them when they tell anything
at all. An honest man is asked a
question. If he cannot tell the truth
he will say nothing and leave it to
the questioner to draw his own conclusions.
The truth is straight and
solid. It has a solid foundation to
stand on. Any man who has had
much experience with human nature
and learned anything at all from that
experience will always be able to
judge whether he should place an^|
reliance in what he hears another *
man aay- The truth when it ia told
aa the truth and any investigation ia
made at all, shows that it ia the
truth and it bears out itself.
There ia indeed a reason for saying
that a man might be relieved when he
was not on his oath rather than when
he was sworn in some case. It all
depends upon who it is that ia being
sworn. A rascal will take the stand
and tell what he thinks will serve
his own ends or the ends of the man
who is paying him his witness fees.
If that spme fellow was out in the
open and was asked the same questions,
when he had no axe to grind
for himself or others, he would tell
an entirely different tale. ^
There are plenty of people to whom
an oath means nothing. We are convinced
of that the longer we live and
see how things go.
$3,042 From Sale of Eggs
In writing of certain changes made
by tobacco farmers in f Virginia
county the United States Department
of Agriculture recently declared thai
the most profitable change made by
jfarmers who increased their incomes
I was the addition of;'poifltry to their
[crop enterprises. One fnl^mer; who
had only 50 hens in 1922 raised 300
pullet's in 1927 and had 100 hens to
|carry through the winter. His livestock
receipts in 1927, largely realized
from the sale of eggs, amounted to
$1,439. Another fanner whose receipts
from livestock in 1922 were
only $248, had receipts from the
same source totaling $3,042 in 1927.
This man's net earnings in 1927 were
$2,102 compared with $1,280 in 1922.
