"The Passing of the Horse" Jt in Home yearn since we got over writing on the pawing of the horn# and hearing commencement easayf prophesying an age of horseless car* riageh, says a writer in the Milwaukee Journal. For the age arrived, ar.d the h<?r?e an ' the patient friend of niar." hits pretty well vanished from the picture. A generation is w.th us that never knew a inutorleas . gi- and from chPdhood has been rrore interested in a horse on city than any number of motor ' ars. The horse "passed," and yet today r ! is a higher place in America than liver la-fore. Once he was a commonplace necessity, but now he is a newly . d 1-covered resource. The horse has come back, as the water ?power that j*? <! to turn village grist mills has to me bark a thousand fold more comja ll.ng arid impress.ve. He is the caH.ng of the world of sport, the a w-found friend <?f many who had grown weary of other forms of recreation. The horse has something wo cannot make with bolts and gears arid connecting rods. Kvery race, every hunt, every exhibition, even, I-- a toiliest between man and the .-entierit animal he rides or drives. More Americans find time for recreation every year. Most of us find that contest adds a thrill. We watch tne baseball players, but we go in for the feeling of contest ourselves when we chase a golf ball against a fellow player or a fellow dub. Hut when jt j comes to man's contest ' with that I sdcate quantity, the personality of horse, there always is promise of j mething iifcw. A test of keen per! " ption, a te-t -<yf understanding, a j of quick thinking ?these are the , i Trigs, cvi-n more than the test of rw.ll, th.at tin .11 u- when we mount, I or when we ->nly watch, the splendid |' M ature, wlmse head i- really held ! p >ud!y, who.-e gait really speaks of race, and iu whose eye. however tamed and trained, gleams a challenge to man, who would call himself master of all created things.?Our I)umh Animals. Cradle Roll Notes The superintendent, Mrs. J. W. Kenney, of the cradle roll of the Camden Baptist church extends thanks to the parents of the children enrolled for the splendid offering on Orphanage Day, March 2nd.

Spartanburg Banker 8?)h People Going Too Fast a Pace & Says The Gustonla Gazette: "The biggest trouble with the country, if you ask any banker, is not hard timers, but high living/' That brief statement has a world j of truth packed in it. Mr. A. M. i Ohreitfcberg, president of the First National Ik?nk of Spartanburg, and formerly a resident of Asheville, in The Spartanburg Herald, eays that the remedy for existing conditions is for all of us to go to work, live within our incomes, pay our debts and learn to save. That is the only road to sound and stable prosperity. The trouble of South Carolina, says The Charleston News and Courier, developing the same thought, is that, "here, as elsewhere, there has been too much extravagant spending." The News and Courier guesses that "of forty-nine men in fifty who would control their thirst for alcoholic drink were a bar room open on every corner, forty will succumb to the temptation to buy a car if they can raise the money for the first installment." laist year, according to estimate* just given, out at Columbia, all the crops in South Carolina had a gross value of about $154,442,000. Strictly money crops were worth a little more than $100,000,000. From the total ! value of the state's crops must be subtracted the money spent for fertilizer, probably about $26,000,000, and the money s|>ent for seed, farm equipment1 of all types and fof the purchase and upkeep of farm stock used in making the crops probably another, milk may be fed to hogs and ; poultry, $25,000,000. South Carolina's manufactured products have a value of about $.'150,000, 1000, from which must be subtracted 'the cost of materials, fuel and power, amounting to about $200,000,000, ' leaving about $150,000,000 for Wages, salaries and profits from manufactures. In other words, South C-arolina's gross income from manufacturing j and agriculture was about $500,000,' 000, and its net income, exclusive of wages, was about $250,000,000. The people of the state had to live on this $250,000,000, maintain their households and support the government They also had to support 230,000 automobiles The average cost of op~ era ting an automobile is probably not far from $250 a year. At that average the coat of operating 320,000 automobiles in &outh Carolina, not counting depreciation, was $67,500000. The conditions existing in South Carolina are not so radically different from conditions existing elsewhere. We have cited these figures only because they seemed to us to lend point to the observation of The Castoniu Gazette, and to the position taken by Mr. Chreitzberg. A young man who stood well In Spartanbdrg and who was earning a fair salary went to Mr. Chreitzberg two or three years ago to ask if he could borrow several hundred dollars. "Do you own an automobile?" inquired the banker. "No." "Do yo'i intend buying an automobile?" "Not while I owe you this money." "Then you can get the money." This is a true story and we arc telling it here by way of preface to a final quotation from the Ki>?rthJ I burg banker. 4*There Is nothing jTa I matter with real estate or farina," told the readers of The Spartanbuifl II Herald in the article from which have already (quoted. 4,The trouble ufl our lack of manhood, lack of worH,l I and lack of that grit and courts I that rides on despite misfortuue. 1 '! Cheer up, these things will all eom| I baqk when our people come back toll living at home, 'working like Utl. 1 I paying their debts, and refusing to I t plunge into debt, unlese they have! '% a reasonable knowledge of how they 1 I can i>ay. Character plus ability make* I the finest dividends." ?-t Harvey Lawrence, negro, 23, wit I ' placed in the state prison at Raleigh, I ;j' Saturday, following his, arrest on I j warrant ,alleging a felonious aasml; fl I on a farmer's wife in Hertford coun- I ty early Saturday morning in her K | home. Four doctors and seven druggists I I have been indicted by a Federal grand jury in Chicago, the charge againai I them being conspiracy to violate the 1 prohibition laws. tV 1400 DEPARTMENT STORES Where Economy of Distribution and Large Group Buying Make Possible Important Saving^to Millions of Families. t V WHEN our new store throws open its doors, it will present an entirely new idea in Distribution Service. First of all, it will be a Local Service Institution, attuned to local needs, in harmony with local projects, manned by local people. It will have an individually selected stock of goods ?not standardized?not just like that of any otKer J. Penney Company store?but bought by our manager for this Store and for this community. The folks who buy at this new store will buy here?not because it is part of a national organization, not because we have other Stores extending "from Ocean to Ocean"?but because of WHAT THIS STORE CAN DO FOR THEM! ?We expect to build this business strictly on the merits of This store and its service to you. But because of our national relation to the world's markets and because of our ability to effect large savings on everything We buy we expect to make our Local Store Service more convincingly apparent than would otherwise be possible.
