There are out-of-town magaziqe
agents who are honest and straightforward?as
honest and straightforward
as anybody else; but there are
some who take your money, and you
get nothing in return except the experience.
The Spartanburg Journal
thinks a good plan for the towns to
' adopt with this class of agents in order
to insure the financial safety of
the public is to impose a license. Says
The Journal: "Complaint is frequently
made in print or otherwise of the
abuses of soliciting subscriptions for
popular magazines. The residential
sections of cities and towns are thoroughly
worked time and again by in-J
dividuals who claim that they are
working their way through college
and depend upon subscriptions to defray
their expenses. There are many
deserving young people," boys and !
i girls, engaged in this laudable and
perfectly legitimate work. But like
everything else it has Its frauds an.l
unworthy masqueraders who see possibilities
of muking easy money
thereby and have no moro intention of
going to college or using their earning
capacity in that direction than
they have of attempting to swim the
Atlantic ocean. One way to eliminate
the fraud, as some radio speakers recently
suggested, according to the
Bamberg Herald, is to license such
agents and solicitors. Says this exchange:
This would serve to eliminate
many of the fraudulent agents,
and would in a measure protect the
people from losses. The Bamberg
city council would render a good service
to the people of Bamberg by putting
some restrictions on these, alleged
magazine agents with their stories
of going to college and other appealing
yarns."
Robert Declines
Perhaps it should have been told
long ugo, but it never is too late to
let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works
nnd feel cheered up by your righteousness.
Anyway, a representative
of the wicked power trust called on
the owner of The Tribune some
months ago when an effort was made
to corrupt the press of the South
and offered him two million dollars
for the plant and business. The offer
was scornfully rejected. The
Tribune isn't for sale. We just simply
buckled the breastplate of
righteousness on our little buzzum
and stuck a noble pose and told the
wicked emissary of darkness to go to
hell. We arc too honorable?too virtuous?too
proud?too darned good,
in fact, to sell out to any such evil
outfit?and, besides- our price was
three million. The idea of' trying to
corrupt us without offering enough
money!?Fountain Inn Tribune.
K' A fine wallop at free publicity
bounds was taken Saturday by members
of the Southern NewspaperJPublishers'
association at Asheville who
adopted a "resolution of protest
against Press puffery." The sentiment
of the convention on the subject was
crystalized at the very outset by an
address of the presiding officer, John
A. Park, of the Raleigh Times, who
soundly scored the nuisance of pub
licity agents who make their living
by flooding newspapers with publicity
material which they hope to induce
unwary publishers to print free of
charge.

"AGIN BBS."
Throughout the world there is a
class of people known as "ayiners."
They are "agin" this Hnd >gin" that,
getting all ofl the fun opposing. On
Friday one of the managers of the
election told us that one man came to
vote against the proposed increase in
levy for1 the city schools and when
asked how much taxes he paid, de.
dared, "I pay only poll tax, but I
want to vote against this proposed
increase in school taxes."
We have no argument with the tax
payer, no matter how small he may
be, who votes against a proposed increase
in taxes. That is his perogative
as a tax-payer, but how in the
name of high heaven can a man who
only pays a poll tax , vote against
anything?
This is a democratic country, the
man without money has the same ad -!
vantages us the man with money,. He
has the same schools, the same roads,
the same police protection, the same
health protection, the same fire protection,
and all for paying his ONE
DOLLAR poll tax. The man paying
no taxes at ull should, from a selfish
point of vie\y, vote for every increase
in taxes?he gets something for nothing.
One of the mysteries of the country
is the man who pays $1.09 in taxes
an^ opposes an increase and the other
who pays thousands of dollars and
favors the increase. The mystery is
Why?
Hut the greatest impediment to the
country is the many who who only
pay a poll tax, a tux levied on every
man, whether or not he has a coat or
pair of shoes, and stands 011 the corner
bewailing the fact that, "They
are about to increase my taxes."?

A Rich Find.
Li is strange how sojppetimes one
stumbles into a fortune. A former
doughboy was traveling through a
certain section of Florida where he
casually picked up a stone, not attaching
much import to it. In Miami
he showed the specimea^JUu^ friend,
who had it analyzed. out to
be a travertine, an expSftithve btiilding
stone. 'I he doughboy purchased the
tract and sold it to a private concern
for $1,000,000. Since then the JohnsManville
Corporation has secured the
exclusive selling rights for the product.
Heretofore, travertine was imported
from Italy. Now, however,
Florida bids in a fair way to branch
out in this line.?From The Wall
Street Journal.
Original Jesse James Gangster Dead
HigginsviUe, Mo., July 10.?Jim
Cummins, who rodo and fought with
Jesse James, Cole Younger, William
Clark Quantrill and still lesser lights
of fact and faction, has battled his
last opponent and spun his last yarn.
Death came yesterday to the picturesque
gun fighter, who to the last
j liked to boast of his conquests and
: whose boastings, at least twice in
recent years, were the cause of violence.
For the last 27 years Cummins
had lived at a Confederate home here
where he died. He was 82 years old.
Jim Cummins admitted he never
knew fear. His associates at the old
, soldiers' home uphold his claims.
He grew to manhood in Clay county,
Missouri, in company with the
James boys, .Jesse and Frank. Border
warfare, between the free staters of
Kansas and the pro-slavery men of
Missouri flamed into being. Cummins
joined a band of Missouri sympathi
. zers who went down in history as
Quantrill's band.
, Later he joined the regular Confed'
t erate army and served in Clement'*
regiment, Shelby's brigade.
Peace brought no joy to Jim Cum
l mins. When the James boys organize(
. their gang of notorious train robbers
( ummins joined them nod participa
ted in their crimes for ten years.
^ For many years aft. ! the trair
1 robberies and bank hold-ups perpe
trated in the middlewost by the Jame
boys, Cummins hid in a Montana vil
lage under the name of .Johnson. H
was one of the town's resected citi
1? zens despite a reward of $.">.000 whic;
c for many years had been on his hear
He finally returned to Clay count
?. and surreudered to the sheriff. As n
witness could be found to l>e use
c against him. he was not held for tria
His declining years largely wet
spent in story telling. When he entei
? ed the Confederate home, his I04UI
^cious ways causer! trouble.
i In 1907 the annual reunion of tl
, Quantrill band was held in Indepei
jdence, Mo. David Edward, 73, anoth<
.veteran raider, took exception 1
I Cummins' boasting. He drew a revc
ver and fired but missed his targ
and slightly wounded a bystander.
Later in 1909, he quarreled wl
another veteran, J. R. McCormick, 8
and struck'the man a blow that cau
ed his death. No changes were filed
a result of the incident as McCc
? t mick had cursed Cummins.

High Kg*'Production Kfawcntitl.
Clemson College, July 18.?A turnniary
of tha demonstration flocks in
South Carolina for the year 1928,
totaling- 24,893 hens on 159 farms
shows a net income of $2.05 per hen,
with an average production of 139
eggs per hen, says P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman.
"These flocks consisted of 65 light
breeds, 68 heavy breeds and 26 flocks
[with both heavy and light breeds.
The average size flock was 166 hens,
and ? gross income of $5.5$ was received
per hen.
"The total cost of keeping each hen
l was $3.76 of which $3.03 or 80 per
cent, was spent for feed. This $3.03
j spent for feed includes the cost necjessary
to muintain the flock snpi
j raise the chicks to broiler size, or
maturity.
"These records show that in order
to obtain the maximum profits from
hens a high egg production must be
obtained, as 72 percent of the gross
returns were secured from the sale
of eggs, for which an average price
of 34 cents per dozen was received."
Sisters Have Not Spoken In Years
Two sisters sit in identical chairs
on a prim front porch facing a busy
highway, near Little Rock, Ark., separated
by a high board wall and a
silence of 30 years. Two front gates
stand side by side in the white-washed
fence. Two front doors give entrance
to the house. Between them,
dividing into exact halves the front
yard, front porch, the bouse itself and
20 iieres of ground on which it stands
runs the mysterious wall.
On one side sits Sarah Mercer, a
iwrinkled old lady with proud black
eyes, rocking the long years away. On
the other side sits her younger sister
Miss Rachel, a slight and careworn
figure, whose eyes speak of tragedy
hut whose lips are forever sealed to
-ennuis nassorsbv. For three decades
nn word has been exchanged across
the dividing line.
Two sisters and the man who could
love but one, are the actors in the
Mercer melodrama, and the man long
ago disappeared. He was the sweetheart
of Sarah, in the eyes of the
persons in the community, but Rachel
loved him as well.
Thirty years ago a storm raged in
the old house and then the lover was
sent away and the two sisters were
left to nurse their pride alone?one
with only her memories for comfort
and the other to endure the stigma
of ostracism and to rear as best she
could in a conventional community
her baby son, the son of her sister's
fiance.
