Better Be Safe The other day a young man was heard to say: "I spend and give away, every dollar 1 got." And there are ninny who follow his example. Upon v.hat line of reasoning a young man reaches s-uch a conclusion is hurd to tell. It is to hv doubted whether those who have such u conception ever have anything to give. Most of them probably never give anything to other's less fortunate. Bu*. is such a policy wise? Does not common sense tell a man it is wise to lay up something. There will com.' the inevitable rainy day or there will: come a day when the young man w ill ' enter . business. In either case, he will need money, and the surest way to get the money is to save it.?* Union Times. Hard Times?

Carroll, ^ York County superintendent of ed- c ucaton for about 25 years and prominent in educational circles s throughout South Carolina, died u suddenly at G o'clock this evening at ^ a hospital in Charlotte, which he t had entered for treatment Thurs- e lay. He was sitting up eating 1 supper when he collapsed and died j in a few minutes. L Mr. Carroll was generally con idered one of the ablest county (l y superintendents of education in the Slate.

G.?The recammen- 1 nations of the budget commission for the support of the state government j for 11)30 total approximately $11,000,000, Governor Richards said ves * torday. These recommendations are submitted to the general assembly 1 which of course may alter them as is ( | seen fit. though the budget figures , 1 are alwavs made the basis. The bud I ' i j uet recommendations are studied ; closely by the ways and means com mitteo when it is preparing its j general appropriations hill for sub- i mission to the house. ' i Some increases over last year j are made in the recommendations, 1 Governor Richards- said, these in- 1 creases being largely imperative because of acts passed by the legislature. One act passed increases the pensions paid to Confederate veterans and another provides that each county is to employ a farm demonstration agent and a home demonstration agent, the salaries of these agents to be paid by the siaie instead of the counties as heretofore. The pension and the demonstration agents items constitute the greatest i increase in the budget recommendations as compared vyith those of l last year.

"The Cause of ,the U'gion is the "autte of Humanity Smith delared in opening his address in which 10 pointed out that this country had lever fought any war except for the a use, of humanity, that its course iad been strictly one of unselfishness md helpfulness to other nations, a ourse which the celebrated speakei irged the Legion to exert itself to ontinue.

Judge Smith pointed the way of ervice for his fellow legionnaires by irging that they follow the unselfs^h course which this country had aken in its dealings with other naions. He declared that in the presnt advanced stage of civilization one iation could not remain aloof ^,()!*] thors and that tiiis nation, to hold ts high prestige among other nuions must belong to some world ourt, league or other international uganization, "call it whate.ver name ou will." . He indicated that it was the lalion's course to foster peace, and I rood will among nations, pointing out | he terrific cost of war, and how the norWy now being spent for armancnts and military purposes might iccomplish such tremendous results f spent in civilian and economic purJudge Smith held the undivided atention of his audience during his hirty minutes talk and it was generillv agreed afterwards that his w*3 irobably the best talk the post had >ver had delivered to its members.
