pry to the purchase of a thoroughhied

"One thoroughbred bull," he suid,
"will be worth more to the state than

gave him the -biggest ovation of

at from 1 fit) to 250 attended.

Chain Stores Cain and Lose.
A compilation of the gross sales of
2.') leading chain store systems of the
United Slates showed a total of $885,570,000
for the first six months of
1080-?which represents a gain of onehalf
of one per cent as compared with
the same period of 1020. For the
month of June, however, the sales
were four per cent less than for Juno
of last year. A reason for this, in addition
to the depression, was that
June of last year hud five Saturdays
to four for this year. The money difference
was $0,287,000. The big chain
systems showing a loss for June in- j
eluded Sears, Roebuck & Co., Wool- I
worth, Kroger Grocery, Kresge and
National Tea Co. Other chain systems.
including Mongomery Ward &
Co., McCrory Stores and several
smaller chains, showed increases. The
best showing of the big houses was
made by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Co. with a gain <>f eight per cent,
over June J020.
These data together with the fact
that the federal income tax collected
in the fiscal year of PJ.'tO was $7il,000,000
more than received in ll)2f?

1 HONORED NEW COMMANDER
One of the heat get-to Jgtether
? meeting# ever pulled off in Camden
> and one conducive of most good was
' the banquet Thursday evening of last
| week given by the America Legion
and citizenof Camden in honor
of A. Stanley Llewellyn, newly elected
commander of the American Legion
of South Carolina.
Robert M. Kennedy, Jr., mayor ot
Camden, and a staunch legionnaire,
presided a# toaatinaater in hi# u#ual
peppy Htyle, and there wa? never a
dull moment from 8:30 till 11 o'clock
when tiie benediction wa# pronounced
by Rev. John Littlejohn of the Wateree
Baptist church.
It was truly a te#timonial bunquet
to a man who haa. made good in our
midst in every respect. The invocation
fta# by Rev. A. Douglas McArn,
chaplain of James Leroy Relk Post
No. 17. Lach outstanding Legionnaire
from a distance was asked to
stand as his name was called and
introduced to the nearly two hundred
men in attendance.
Oscar Doyle, present state commander,
was the first speaker on the
program and made an excellent address.
He stated that most peoplfe
were under the impression that Stan
Llewellyn was elected at the state
convention at Columbia, when as a
matter of fact he was elected at the
meeting held in Anderson a year,previous.
That no other name had been
mentioned for the post and the legionnaires
knew what they were doing
when he was selected. He paid
a high triLute to Mr. Llewellyn.
"Forty years ago a mother at Lancaster
was rearing a lad and telling!
him of the greatness of Robert K. 1
Lee and hi- followers. Forty-two
year ago Massachusetts mothe** J,
was telling a Yankee lad of the
gicatness >f Clysse* S. (leant and
, his general-. Today (hi- Lancaster
j lad was here to pay tribute to the I
(Worth of this Yankee lad." said,!
Roach S. Stewart, of Lancaster, who i
in a tew well-chosen words paid ,t ;
profound tribute to Mr. Llewellyn. j
"Tolerance" was the keynote of j 1
the remarks of Colonel J. Monroe '
Johnson, of Marion. "To show you j
that the American Legion and South);
Carolina knows no creed when it! '
comes to doing the right thing, and
can always be counted upon to do j
the unexpected, the Legion elected
a Jew as its state commander. In \
the last election they said it was a ^
question of "wet or dry," but all \
knew that it was the Catholic question.
South Carolina was one of the 1
few Southern states to vote solidly ^
for AI Smith. Then to further show t
that it knows no section or creed the
Legion elected a Yankee as its state
commander and this in spite of the
'Yankee prosperity' now pervading ^
the land." Colonel Johnson also
closed his remarks with a great tribute
to Mr. Llewellyn, amidst t re men- ^
dous applause from the audience.
Fix-Commander George Levy, of n
Sumter, made a fine talk, and re- ?
ceived great applause. He said in '
part:
"I feel that you good people of (
Camden have loaned us Stanley for
a year. He is going to make us the (
finest Commander that the Depart- ^
ment of South Carolina has ever had, |
and he will establish a record of j
achievement unexcelled. The fine
part of it is that when he returns to
you laden with honor and distinction,
he will be the same fine, unassuming
and upstanding figure, ready at
all times to do his bit not only for
the I>egion, but also for community,
State and Nation."
Judge Mendel L. Smith, always in
demand as a public speaker, was at
his host, and had to confine most of
his remarks to a repetition of bis
speech in the convention when seconding
the nomination of Mr. Llewellyn.
He explained in a masterful
manner what the legion stood for,
and spoke of the horrors of wars and
i ited figures showing the cost of
war. The Legion's chief aim is to,
| pre-i"ve peace and it was recognized,
a - a power in thi- re-pect. He spoke >
j of the growth of this organization,
and p.iid a great tribute to Mr. Llewellyn.
It remained for Mr. Llewellyn to
be presented and it could be seen
that he was affected by the high
compliments that had been paid him.
He stated that be had a prepared
speech to deliver, but that he would
have to talk off-hand. He wanted |t
understood that It w*? not him personally
that they were paying tribute
to, but the ideala for which b*
stood. He appealed to every man '
present to help him to carry on..
That he knew that there were many ,
latent ideas among Legionnalrea-rwhether
they be farmers., mill man
or what?and asked that If they '
could not talk publicly to submit
their ideus in writing, thereby ail
working to one common goal?that
of the betterment of the legion and
its growth.
T. V. Walsh and his "paid" choir '
led with the music which furnished J
one of the most interesting features
of the evening,
A beautiful custom which is observed
at all Legion gatherings was '
that of standing with bowed heads
for one minute in memory of those 1
comrades "gone West." '
Mrs. John Clarke and her assistants
from the Commercial Hotel put
on a tempting dinner and all enjoyed 1
it. j i
The gathering was fittingly de- !
scribed by Mayor Kennedy as a spontaneous
gathering of Legionnaires
and citizens to pay tribute to one
who has come amongst us and made 1
good. <

The Greatest Mother in the World. *
Pictorial sections of daily papers t
hroughout the country have been
howing the portrait of a woman acla
i mod to be the most beautiful or e
he greatest mother in the world, to- :
rether with one of her offsprings. ^
1 he designation was made by some j(
iociety or other. We do not recall the
lame of the woman, neither do we reollect
the standard by which she was
Measured to thus characterize her. f
How foolish for anyone in any way
.o attempt to select the greatest ^
nother in the world when there are
"nillions of them. Your mother was or ]
s the greatest mother in the world, ,
?nd so was mine. We have thousands:>f
memories and recollections to
prove this beyond any question or
doubt, and all time the say so of all
men could not make us think differently.
Mothers are too sacred to all olj
us to be bartered in contests of elimination
or to be emblazoned upon the
pages of newspapers as being greater
than all other mothers.
This particular mother was possessed
of a sweet and kindly face, and
we have not the slightest doubt of her
being a wonderful mother. She was
young and attractive, and undoubtedly
a wonderful wife as well as mother.
However your mother was the
same. True it is, her face may have
reflected a beauty you alone could en\:<i"ti.
and it is entirely possible that
you: !->nde-t recollection is of a mother's
face creased by the wrinkles of J
wor-v and care of which you knew
nothing because this wonderful j
: mother of your's carried her cross n
S the still watches of the night and
| walked through her G-ethsemane while
t you were in pleasant places on the
j Dream Ship.
t God pity this nation, and this world I
should the day ever come when mothers
are measured by any other standard
than the hove of one's own mother
which makes her the greatest
mother in the world.?l,?Roy, N. Y.,

the talkies have served to cramp the

WISCONSIN.
A Great State Made Wealthy By The
' Dairy Caw.
Mr. !*;*> B. Weathers, editor of the
Cleveland Star, has returned front a
trip to Wisconsin, and i? giving his
readers some very interesting sidelights
on that great state. Southern
farmers could learn mjich from Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is probably the wealthiest
agricultural state in the Union, It
has become so on account of the dairy
products industry.
Editor Weathers gives some of the
iletails of this industry in his travel
talk on cows. Next week he is to
talk about cherries and peas. The
Shelby editor says:
"One of the proudest boasts of Wisconsin
was made to the Nationaj Editorial
Association members by Gov-crnor
Walker Kohler and President
tilenn Frank of the University of
Wisconsin, both men of vision and
patriotism who asserted that tho
lairy cattle population of Wisconsin
is the largest of any state in the Union.
Each section has its individual
'superlatives", but when it comes to
milk and cheese, Wisconsin leads,
"The Badger state ranks first in the
production of fluid milk for household
consumption, first in the production of1
condensed and evaporated milk, producing
30 per cent of the total in the
United States.
"The editors passed through the
ittle town of Plymouth, where the I
heese prices for the United States]
ire quoted. That state is first in the]
production of brick and muster
heese, first in Swiss chet?se, first in
he number of cheese factories with
1,500 plants in operation. All cattle is
.ested for tuberculosis and from 1917
0 1 nearly seven million head of
at tie uvo submitted to the tuberulin
tests. One hundred and forty
nillion pounds of fine < reamery buter
are produced annually and Wisonsin's
breed of famous Holstein
orms the basis of many of the county's
famous dairy herds.
"Today, the people of this state
vork and play. The state is a sumner
vacation land for four and a half
nillion people annually. Each city
ias thought of play as well as work,
ieautiful parks, fresh water lakes
ind inviting drives are to be found
verywhere. t*he great open spaces of
he country with hovering shade
rees, ferned woodlands, luxurious
lowers, beckon the tired worker to
ease his labors and commune with
lature. Hunters, fishermerr and vacaionists
from other states, seek Wisonsin
for sport and pleasure imder
most, delightful summer clime. A
outhern editor from the foothills of
he Blue Ridge mountains envies the
lear water lakes in Wisconsin, the
iivide between the two greatest rivrs
of any continent. One in this rollng
country of the Southland has to
ravel .100 miles to enjoy such a privic?ge.?Gastonia
