Pr. Copeitiud Speak*.
Hew cheering end refreshing to
hear these wordv from Senator Royal
S. Copeland of New York, ijii speaking
of this state's high iodine content of
fruits and vegetables: uf Ikonsider this
the most valuable discovery of the
I Mist 10 yeans. South Carolina should
be the richest state in the nation, if
its people will take full advantage of
this discovery."
The Country Weekly.
As an advertising force, the eojiiy
try weekly is. regarded by many
prominent manufacturers as the lead
ing medium in America. Although
there are still many who have not
discovered its possibilities, it does
hold a unique position among periodicals.
A writer has listed a number
, < of the advantages of the community
paper. His points follow:
"At one sitting the overage reader
scans all the pages of the local paper.
No other publication has ell its pages
read as carefully by so large a percentage
of its leaders.
"There is no publication that
reaches so many families in ? given
trade territory us does the local puper.
No other is read! by as many
people for each subscriber. The whole
family reads it.
"An advertisement in the local
paper backs up the sales effort of the
local retailer far more effectively
than any other medium."
For these reasons the country
weekly is able .to serve, not only the
advertisers, hut every worthy cAuho
for the betterment of the entire country.?Monroe
Enquirer.
Columbia city officials are all worked
up because a local newspii|>er
cammentwi on the fact that liquor
oould be purchased in the capital city
and that gambling joints were operated
without interference. What is
the sense in this pretended astonishment
and excitement? When has
there been a time when one could not
get a drink and a game in Columbia
or any other South Carolina town
possessing more than four streets? ?

Trouble about motoring on the
highways at night is, you never know
which is more dangerous: the headlights
all lit up, or the man at the

Journal.
An Old, Old Story.
Tex Rickard was supposed to be a
genius at making money out of prize
lights. When he died suddenly at
Miami last winter, leaving a widow
and young child, his fortune was believed
to bo considerable. His heirs
were reported to be "fixed for life."
Six months later, however. Mrs.
Rickard announces that ?he is penniless.
What money her husband left
has been squandered by "friends" and
advisers. .She has to go to work to
earn a living for herself and child.
It's an old,. oki story that becomes
no leas poignant by nepititkm. Even
where an estate is wisely administered,
it often shrinks to -nothing in -a
.short while because it is not human
nature to protect another's money as
well as one will protect one's own.
But where a widow's mite is left to
the discretion of "friends" it melts
with the readiness of an ice cream
cone under an August sun. Presto,
and it is gone!
&>me of Tex Rickard's assets, such
as the dog-track, were ephemeral.
Yet out of his rich earnings -he must
Itavc had much that could have boor,
preserved for his wife arid child. Had
be been a wise man he would hav??
laid aside enough to provide for his
family after death, regardless of the
disposition of questionable assets.
"I/ay up for yourselves treasures
m heaven"?yes, and lay up for your
wife and children treasures that you
have earned on earth for them, in
safe hands and where thieves cannot
break in ami steal them.?Greenville
News.
Ruth Elder, woman -aviator, w?hc
attained more or less fame a year 01

soon to be married again.
In an address to the state oonven

What Cherokee in Doinf,
Seven Cherokee county farmers,
along with K. K. Johnson, enterprise
ing citizen, of GafFney, have agreed
to plant at least five acres each in
vegetables and truck for the next five
years to guarantee produce for a cannery
to bq establish^! in GafFney,
according to the Ledger. Mr. Johnson
who senses the poselbllitiea of demand
for South Carolina vegetables
and products onoe the world knows of
their heavy iodine content and health
giving properties, has been endeavoring
to get 100 Cherokee county farm*
era to "sign up" with him to embark
in vegetable growing on a moderate
scale. He thinks even the eight who
agree to produce vegetables will bo
sufficient to justify the establishment
of a cannery. Mr. Johnson is a pioneer
in the field of diversification
that should develop advantages and
profits, not only to those vitally concerned,
buj. all farmer* and truckers
of his county.?Spartanburg Journal.
How They Get Started
"Mister, how about a job?" a young
man inquired as he came into The
inquirer office.
"Well, what can you do?" I asked
him.
"Oh, almost anything," was th"
ready reply. j
Further questioning revealed that i
the young fellow had not.finished the
seventh grade. Still by his own admission
he was qualified to do almost
anything.
It may appear strange to the public,
but I believe countrf newspaper
editors will bear me out in the assertion,
that printers and reporters
are rarely hired.
A small boy drifts into the print
shop. On Saturdays, holidays, and
afternoons after school makes himself
useful running errands, sweeping
the floor, carrying "a paper route,"
and doing many odd jobs. If the kid
likes the work?and most of 'em do
?he arrives at the stage of printer's
devil. The printer's devil's hands are
nearly always gummy with ink and
his face streaked with the same
stuff.
The "devil" learns a lot in the
printing office. In time he becomes
a press feeder, gets a little time now
and then at a linotype keyboard, and
almost before it is realized he makes
himself indispensable.
The same thing applies to a news
gatherer. Such a person is rarely
hired, but makes for himself a place
on the staff be it a weekly or metropolitan
newspaper.
The Enquirer has half a dozen or
more young men making their living
off the newspaper or job department.
I dare say none of them can recall
the time they were hired. Somehow
or other all of 'em oozed in and got
on the payroll.?Monroe Enquirer.
Dodging The Issue.
The automobile has brought much
pleardre to the American people. Rut
it has also brought one of our most
serious problems. Every year thousands
of people are killed and maimed
in automobile accidents of various
sorts. The majority of the casualties
result from carelessness and incompetence.
There are few unavoidable
accidents.
It would seem a simple matter to
enforce adequate driving laws, and
when tried, it has proven that this
reduces the accident rate. It would
seem equally simple to withhold operating
licenses from persons too ignorant
or too incompetent to drive
a car with ordinary ability. Yet we
go far out of the way for our cures
and produce such legislative boomerangs
as compulsory liability insurance.
And, in the meantime, while
such panaceas dismally fail, the death
record mounts.
We are a careless people in many
ways. And oCfr lack of safety consciousness
causes untold waste in
| lives and property. Until we follow
the obvious course and tench prevention.
modernize traffic laws and bar
the reckless and incompetent from the
highways, the toll of automobile
deaths will mount.

LARGK KAN8A8 FARM
_ I
^ncludev Fifty Square Mi lea nd Pr<>
duces Much Wheat
Hays, Kan.?Imagine a train of
200 freight cars filled with grain
from m single farm project covering!
more than 50 square miles,
'l'hat degree of mass production fia$
been achieved in 10 northwea^prn
Kansas counties by the Wheat Fajnp?
ing company, a $1,500,000 corporation,
which owns and farms 82,000 J
acres.
Without using a sfngte horse, the
concern this year is harvesting a
grain crop, mostly wheat, that probably
will total 400,000 bushelsenough
to fill more than 200 freight
cars. A yield of nearly 300,000
bushels of wheat ulono is assured.
This company, whose stockholders
exceed 800 and include retired farmers,
doctors and field workers, has
pioneered in large scale production in
the wheat belt. It is the largest farm]
project in Kansas and probably in
the entire southwest. !
J. S. Bird of Hays, where the
world's largest farm experiment station
is located, is the company's pres- j
ident. Formerly a college chemistry ]
professor, he has a background of
years of experience in Kansas dry
farming. I
| Experts manage the gigantic fac-1
tory-like enterprise. The land is di- ]
vided into units of approximately 5,-]
000 acres, with a foreman in charge
of each. A production manager, a
specialist in soil management and
machine farming, supervises operations.
Grain is sold under the direction
of a scale manager.
The concern's equipment Includes
22 tractors, 11 combined harvesterthreshers
and swathers, several heavy
trucks and a proportionate amount of
other machinery. That outlay is capable
of cutting and threshing upwards
of 2,000 acres of wheat daily.
The swather, a new machine in the
wheat belt, is used because it cuts
grain at an earlier stage than is possible
with a combine. Cut stalks are
strung out in long windrows by a
swather and combines thresh it a
few days later.
So efficient are production methods
on this farm that wheat can be
raised~for less than half the amount]
common to unorganized farming. The ]
company's cost accounting system
shows $4.64 per acre as the cost of
production. Most Kansas farmers list
$10 for that expense. I
Last year the company paid a dfvi-1
dend of 12.5 per cent. A dozen similar
concerns are being organized in j
efforts to equal that record. j
Dr. J. B. Lewis, negro dentist of
Greenville, was instantly killed and
his body burned to a crisp, when his
automobile turned over and caught ]
fire with the doctor pinned under-1
neath, five miles south of Union
Tuesday afternoon. He passed a car |
on a curve and lost control of his]
machine. His neck was broken. I
