V Signs of the Times
When you see * men going down
the street with his eyes glued to the
pavement and his lips twitching as
if he would say something and his
britches badly bagged at the knees
und he growls at the men and scowls
at the .women he meets and is red
behind the ears and blue under his
(eyes, you can just put it down that
tin installment agent is on his trail
and tomorrow is the last day between
a slow walk and a fast ride next Sabbath.
When you see a woman go $pto a
store and begin to inquire about 14dollar
shoes and 98-dollar dresses
and 15-dollar lingerie, and have the
clerks tuke down nearly all of the
nice stuff in the store and spread it
before her eyes so. that she may peradventure
select something to her
liking, you can just enter it in your
fool book that that old gal ain't got
25 cents to her name and ain't going
tp buy anything from you or anybody
else for several weeks.
When a customer gets overly chummy
with his grocer and drops behind
a month or two with his account and
stops asking the price of a ham that
he takes home with him and lets his
younguns buy anything they might
want and have it charged to him and
begins to cuss Wall street and the
speculator you mi^ht as well get
ready to kiss that guy's account
good-bye and send to the post office
and purchase some stamps so's you
can mail his duns to him in another
town, 'cause he's getting ready to
move.
When Deacon Jones starts to raking
out the preacher and criticizes
certain members of his family and insists
that he had heard all of them
old sermons before and tells the
world that "our church needs a
younger man with more of the "sperit
in his soul," you can just bet your
bottom dollar that somebody has asked
tfl? said Deacon Jones to come
across with the 4 dollars he sub-1
scribed to the running of the church,
or else the preacher has ketehed him
a sheet or two in the wind, or hanging
around some place that should
not be hangable for pious folk, and
thereafter the old jpPbuch proves himself
unfit for all purposes except
raising the devil in the congregation.
When you see a little sap-head "hitting
'em down the highway at 76
miles per in his daddy's mortgaged
junk pile with a thoroughly Ducoed
flapper (who doesn't know the difference
between a frying pan and a kettle)
leaning heavily on his right
shoulder and his hair plastered to
his vacant brain bin and a smi^e anchored
on his face that won't rub off,
you mjght as well stop and wonder
what this world is coming to if that
trio represents the ancestry of the
future generation. Oh, where in the
dickens is my shot-gun nohow ?
I Am Cured
Heigh, Ho, Hum._ I am so tired
and worn-out I don't know what to
do. I don't believe I will ever be able
to work again. I just returned from
"my vacation last night. I went to
the mountains to rest and recuperate,
and if there was any rest or recuperation
up there, I never came in contact
with them.
Wednesday?I left *tome feeling
sluggish but hopeful. My doctor
told me that I needed a rest. He
said that I had stuck too close to
business for the past 2 years. He
intimated that my blood pressure was
showing some strength and assured
me that my tongue was coated and
insisted I was bordering onto halitosis.
. I took his word for all and singular.
We packed up everything we
had except the piano and got in our
installment plan, and. lit out.
Thursday?We arrived at "Stop-awhile
cottage near Hog-Back. 01 had
patched 4 inner tubes and bolstered
up 1 blowout enroute to our rendezvous.
I was too weak to help unload
our household goods, so gave a
colored boy 80 cents to assist us a
few hours. \ room on the third
floor was reserved for us. The stairs
we climbed were so crooked We had
to tote our stuff oil our stummicks
to get up. The room had a western
exposure and a southern bureau and
an eastern wash-stand and * northern
bow! and pitcher (empty)? and
the bathroom wss in this bask yard.
Friday?We hobbled down to salbreakfast.
W? totk a rid. ahortiy
thereafter and got stuck 8 times.
I met every mule in that community
on that trip; they were well trained
at palling folks out. 1 bad to walk
g mDes for s can of gasoline. (If.
was running true to form: I always
get out of gas 2 to 6 miles from a
filling station). My folks made me
climb little Pig Back. When we got
"hoiric11 that afternoon, I had the
rheumatism and the sciatica and
creeping paralysis. I was helped to
my room and they brought my salmon
balls ami rice up to mo. ??
Saturday?I got terribly nauseated
about 6:30 a.m., when those salmon
balls began to send their odor up our
way. I felt homesick. My head and
legs and spinal collum were aching.
1 was growing dissatisfied with my
vacation. (Yes, they call 'em vacations).
I had spend 13 dollars a day
since I left my own bed and board.
After saying our prayers, in which
we expressed satisfaction with home
and hard work* and asked the Lord
to forgive us for leaving, we retired.
Sabbath?We don't usually ride on
the Sabbath except in cases of emergency
and this. JKAftJk We got to
our home in time for church, but we
were too dilapidated to negotiate the
2 blocks. Qh, my poor legs! Ouch,
get a pillew for my back. Younguns,
atop that fuaal Doctor, how's my
poise and will I get over this vacation
f And doctor, when will I be
strong enough to go to the office?

Man la ('n*?fe In Own Home
A man is not ?afe even in hia own
borne, according to the observations
of L. P. Gregory, vice-preaident in
charge of the accident and health department
of a large insurance company
In Pittsburgh, Pa.
To support hia statement he calls
attention to some of the peculiar accidents
for which indemnity has been
paid. Among them are the following:
"Crawled under a bed, and needle
lying on the floor ran into breastbone."
"Undressing for bed. In removing
union suit fractured second finger on
left hand."
"Ran against wife?hair curler
struck eye."
"Yawning?dislocated jaw,"
"Washing hands?shook water off
hands and dislocated fiftger." >
"While reciting made gesture?fell
and sprained hip."
"Walking along street?straw hat
struck me in the eye."
"At office shaking hnnds with a
friend?sprained thumb."
"Right eye damaged by feather in
hat of lady riding beside me in auto."
"On private yacht. Had highball
and just stood up when boat gave a
lurch. Sat down on glass."
"Taking orders?horse walked
across street to my horse. I took
hold of the bridle to pull him away.
He dropped dead and teeth struck
foot, fracturing toes."
"Hands cut by fish line. I was
fishing for bnss and accidentally
caught a shark."
"I was assaulted and my nose
broken by a drunken person who evidently
thought I was some one else."
And finaly there is the strange
case of a man who, two weeks after
being compensated for a finger lost
in a buzz saw, reported he had lost
another finger while showing a friend
bow the first accident happened.
Texas' Penitentiary Population
More than half the prisoners in
Texas penal institutions are married.
Few of the prisoners are illiterate.
Few are divorced, and few admit intemperance
in the use of intoxicating
liquors. Most of the prisoners, use
tobacco."
Of the 4,561 now in Texas penitentiaries,
262 are serving third terms.
The average age of Texas convicts
is between 20 and 25 years. Only 59
are more than 60 years old. While
native Texans are far in the lead
numerically, nearly all the states of
the union and nearly all foreign
coi^ntries are represented. The prisoners
are about equally divided between
the white and colored races.
More than 50 per cent express a
church preference, the Baptist and
Catholic churches leading. There are
only three Jews.
In the matter of occupation, cooks,
waiters, farmers and day laborers
lead. All trades and professions arc
represented.
There are behind . Texas prison
walls six men who were formerly
pastors of churches.
Burglary sends the greatest number
of persons to the penitentiary,
while murder and violation of the
prohibition laws rank next. Bigamy
is responsible for 21 Texas prisoners,
embezzlement for 27, forgery and
passing forged instruments 516.
Colone-l Charles Lindbergh at a Detroit
automobile factory, last Friday

The Canning Factory Froblem.
Following in the wake of the enthusiasm
aroused over the atate there is
a crying need for canning factories to
j enable South Carolina to realize upon
the recent important discovery of the
iodine content of our foodstuff*, and
what this means in the prevention
and cure of goiter in the goitrous
regions of the country. This need will
he met. There is a danger in its meeting
which it will he well to bear in
mind. There is bound to come along
irresponsible promoters who will wish
to "put over" an organization in
many of the counties, and there is a
| chance for the fleecing of many investors
in these canning plants. Already
it is understood that some of these
have begun to operate, and that there
j will likely be efforts mnde in the Immediate
future to put-in plants hero
and there wherever sufficient local
capital can be secured to make possible
the construction of a plant.
The Press and Standard would
sound here a note of warning. Let
! there be a thorough investigation of
j these promoters and their scheme
before it is offered to the public.,
The matter of erecting these canning
factories is engaging the thought and
investigation of the South Carolina
j Natural Resources Commission and
, plans are in the making for the orr
ganization of plants where they arc
(needed. It is better to have these organized
if possible under a central
management, and thus by one control
to secure the putting out of a standard
and uniform product. Volume selljing
and volume buying are also essential
and this can be secured either
by one syndicate putting up the chain
, of plants or by having in them a cooperative
feature whioh will insure
uniform planting and uniform packing
of the products. The label of the
state must not be used on inferior
products, and whenever this label is
seen it should be convincing proof
that the product is as good as can be
had. California has done this and the
great demand for California products
even in South Carolina is proof of the
statement. This is true when we now
know that there is no Iodine in California
foodstuffs.
We would like to see numerous canning
plants, and it will take these to
supply not only the local demand for
our foods, but every one of them
should have no trouble in selling to
the markets of the goitrous regions
of the United States their full output.
Boll weevil cotton can be supplanted
by iodized truck and food crops in a
very large manner. But it must be
done decently and in order. Our people
can do it, and if there is profit let it
I

be kept at home. So, beware of the
promoter who c4res not for the etate
or its success in placing these healthful
foods on the markets.?Walterboro

Twenty-nine persons met violent
deaths in Sunday accidents reported
from various parts of the country.
Motoring parties, aviators, and workmen
were numbered among the dead
in Texas, Naw Mexico and California.
