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

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. Ix>ok up -ghe < Record
I refer to and speak - good word
for Mr. Kendall and lets stand four
square for God and man. What you
say?

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-.

U'twcen the face the pr.nting
portion of a type- and the body. All
type composition is accomplished at ?
rapid speed. It is always hur:y up
work. As an example take a newspaper
of 8 pages, eight columns to
the page, each column containing
1,200 words, t),600 words per page of
Jrn average oX.-.4.Tcttcirs each; or a
total of 38,400 letters which fa a low
average. On this .basis 04 columns
of an eight page paper is equivalent
to 307,200 letters or that many human
motions to compose the type
words in the paper. The entire work
is done under forced pressure against
a given time. Figure out the per
cent, of errors and you'll find the
total very small.?The Mue^er Record.

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

THK CANARY I8LANLM4.
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

ous in Europe. A plant disease dej

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.

111 '? ?" -jAnti-Rat
Campaign
Planned for Camden
Mayor K. 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."
