Friday, June 27, 1930 A DREADFUL STORY A dreadful story?but true, which makes it nil the more shuddering? is that of the execution of Coleman and Johnson in Columbia yesterday. These men paid the penalty. All the world knows the mmalty and the public has had the uetails. They should arrest the attention of scores of young men who are today, all ubout us, perhaps, on the same road that carried these men to their death at the hands of the law. We know the type perfectly. They are lofting, I living oy their wits, "fooli/ig with i liquor," stealing cars and being arrested op "minor charges" It is just a matter of time and circumstances and they are murderers. . And they will face their executioners. There is a change of public sentiment, which is demanding sterner measures in dealing with lawlessness and those engaged in that business should recognize this change, coming as it is tin the result of excess in lawlessness during the last few years, Tho public will protect itself and can, as the execution of (xrleman and Johnson demonstrates.?iSpartanburg Herald. Praises Mr."* Kendall Editor Chronicle: Please give space in your paper for a reference to an article which was printed in the Co-* ulmbia Record of- June 11th. Thii reference that I refer to deals with the cotton mills trouble in the South. I want to say to the cotton mill people to look up the Columbia Record of June 11th and read for your self and take no man's word for it but read for your self and see what Mr. James Myers, and Mr. Harriet L. Herring, and Mr. Henry P. Kendall says and see for yourself what they all say is the cause of tho mill troubles in the south today and they are in position to know. I don't happen to know Mr. Kendall but he is a large mill owner I am tbld. I would like to meet him and shake his hand and see a rich man that is a friend to labor and has the manhood) to tell the truth about the miliar troubles in our midst.

Mr. Parrott Withdraws In a communication addressed to , The Chronicle. Mr. G. E. Parrott, of Bethuno, requests this paper to withdraw his name from the list of entrants for the office of Judge of Probate. Mr. Parrott states that on account of other pressing business he will not have time to devote to the ?ampaign. and deciles to express his appreciation to those friends and voters who had promised him their support. ? errors in printing Many of Then Seemingly Inexcusable Until You Know the Facta The average reader knows nothing concerning the art of printing, but nothing amuses lum more than finding a typographical error, a misspelled word or a jumbled line of type. There is something like MM),000 printers in the United States. A large per cent, work (i.iys a year. Suppose each one of these) 100,000 printers made tw.. errors a week or a total of 10, joo.poo per year. We grant this xn tremendous total of errors and seemingly ine\ usable, and it would not be except tor m.tn\ mitigating e: rcu m-*t ance-.

Carol, Cannon i?4 HimnuMe The new* of the day seem* to Indicate quite clearly that, while King* and Methodist bishops?not unlike the Pope against whom the stockgambling biahop led his crusade?can do no wrohg, United State* Senator* are by no mean* immune from the consequences of their wrong-doing. In recent day# the news dispatches have dealt largely with three principal characters in the public eyeCarol of Koumania, Bishop Cannon and North Carolina's senior Senator Fu.ru rfold M. .Simmons. It is difficult^o avoid observing the connecting link between the three, considering their, conduct and the fact that each of the three has been called to account with, 'however, somewhat differing results. Carol of Koumania, who followed off after u rag and a bone and a hank of red hair, thus outraging the sensibilities of many of his subjects, has been received back in his kingdom with open arms, and with loud acclaim his monarchy has been restored to him. Proving that a King can do no wrong. Bishop Cannon, he who raised the standard of intolerance, inveighing against Catholicism when it so happened that American Democracy chose aw its standard-bearer a man of that faith, and who by appeal to religious bigotry and denominational hatred mixed with prohibition fanaticism led astray a large contingent of deluded followers in the last presidential election, has shared the good fortune of King Carol. There is a striking similarity between Carol and Cannon. Both stand sorry spectacles, morally besmeared, Carol because of his abandonment of wife and child to live in adultery with a. red-hearcd woman, and Cannon, his bishopric surplice bespattered with the ugly fact of his stock-market crap-shoyting and his arrogant denial of wrongdoing until confronted with the inescapable evidence that his hands were dirty with dealings, -which he, j as a Methodist Bishop, must hypocritically denounce as iniquitous. But what of Cannon's treatment? Although revealed in his true light as a montebank and shedding crocodile tears as, when cornered, he threw himself upon the mercy of his peers and admitted his guilt, the great church whose cloth he wears, declined even to consider the charges which nobler and truer men in lesser positions in that church, outraged by his conduct, had prepared to prefer against him, and applying a coat of w<hitewash, retains him?in the high place in the temple into which he has invited the money-changers in| stead of, like the Master, expelling them. Verily, a Methodist Bishop can do nrt wrong. N'o matter how he may compromise and cheapen the church, he stands immune, and like Carol of Roil mania, bishop Cannon is taken, bark, dirt and all. But it's altogether different with a United States Senator. Merely because of his political de- i feet ion no moral issues being vin- , volved North Carolina's Senator, one of those wju> followed off after j the strange gods that Bishop Can- i nnn set up for idolatrous worship two years ago, is repudiated by his constituents and goes down in ignominous defeat in the North State primary. Senator Simmons has got what he deserves, as a matter of course, but justice does seem to bo an elusive sort of thing, doesn't it? ? Aiken Standard.

In CroptMHi An Mid-Ocean Airport For <irrnun FUncn. A Gorman company recently announced that the (Canary Inlands would be selected as a stopping place for German planes bound for South America. Thus the Canaries will be to the Europe-South American tranaatlahtic air route what it has been announced the Azores will be to the proposed Europe-North America route. "The Canaries, poking their mountainous ureas in grotesque shapes above the surface of the Atlantic about 60 miles off the northwest shoulder of Africa, have long figured in transatlantic travel," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "Columbus stopped at Pultna Island on his way to America "The thirteen islands (seven large* and six small ones) form a cupshaped archipelago/With Ferro standing aloof to the southwest. The archipelago is of volcanic origin; the height of its mountain peaks, thrust ! up from the bed of the Atlantic by * violent eruptions, range from a few hundred to more than 12,000 feet The Peak on Teneriffe Island reaches 12,192 feet above sea level. Gaunches, brown-skinned natives lound on the islands by Columbus and other early visitors, whose ancestors frequently felt the wrath of The Peak, call it 'Teide', meaning Hell. "Five of the Canaries, Teneriffe, Palma, Ferro, Gran Canaria and Gomera, rise individually from the deep sea. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and six small isiets rise from the same plateau. "From shore to mountain peak, travelers, in the Canaries find climates ranging from that of North Africa to that of northern Europe. The North African climate, where the warm sun promotes growth of banana and orange trees, sugar cane and cacti, is found up to 1,300 feet above sea level. Slightly higher is the balmy climate of the Frencn Riviera and central Italy. Farther up are vineyards, not unlike those of the Madeiras, to the north. Above 6,000 feet the cool atmosphere of northern Europe prevails, while among the high peaks snow shoes may be use<J. nearly all year round. "If all the Canaries were drawn together ,two Rhode Islands could be placed on top of the mass, side by side, and a portion of the Canaries would still be uncovered. But the 'Canarians' number only about twothirds of the population of Rhode Island. "Splendid harbros are found along the Canary shores with the ports of Santa Cruz, Teneriffe and Las Palmas, Palma, handling the bulk of the island's trade. Santa Cruz, a mass of yellow and white houses gleaming under flat, red roofs, is the capital of the archipelago. Dust from the surrounding hills is a menace to traveler in the city hut a panorama of the Santa Or.uz waterfront indicates that the natives are unmindful of the nuisance. The Spanish governor of j the Canaries resides in Santa Cruz. : The islands are not a colony, hut a U. rpart of Spain. "Bananas have become the chief commodities of the Canaries in res cent years. Until 1853 the Canary ; vineyards made the archipelago fam| ous in Europe. A plant disease dej stroyed the vineyards and cochineal. dried bodies of certain female in. ,. , j sects that cling to leaves of cactus j plants, poured money into the pock I ets of the agricultural population. I Sugar cane, potatoes, tomatoes and onions, along with bananas, now make the larger part of the island's . exports." Governor Plays Union Sheriff Columbia. Saying that "the conduct of Sheriff J. C. GrecfWas utterly reprehcn-ihle," in the recent lynch ing of Dan Jenkins, Negro, who was lynched b> a mob for assault on a young married woman and an attempted assault on her 16-year-old ' sister-in-law, the governor suspended the sheriff from office pending an investigation.

M. Kennedy, Jr., is in receipt of the following letter from I). Schwartz, of the United States biological survey in reference to potting on a campaign against rats in thin city: "I intend being in South (Carolina on a trip and will visit your city , ; some time in July and will be pleased to give you my idea regarding the carrying on of systematic rat work. "I shall be available to you at some designated time in the near fu- ! ture to undertake rat campaign with j subsequent follow-up campaigns,! winch ure essential in the control of rats; and very economical also. "If you 'will kindly give me the population of the city, approximate number of homes and number of business houses, mills, etc., I will be able to give you an accurate estimate of the actual cost of poison, baiting the city with red squill. The subsequent campaigns carried on three or ,/our times a year cost from $35.00 to $05.00. * "It is the policy of the Biological Survey to carry on rat work in the future only with those cities which plan to do systematic work at least twice to four times a year. We have found that sporadic efforts are of no avail in controlling rats and feel justified in our program due to the effectiveness of it and the increase in work to a point where assistance Is necessary in order 'to fulfill obligations already made."
