INVEST AT HOME" It is true of every community that it in easier for a high pressure salesman to come in from the outside and sell stock in a foreign concern, than it is for a local man to sell stock in a local qntorprjay. Just why this should be is not clear but in the majority of instances it is true. The local investor does not have the faith in his fellow townsmen that he does in some stranger whom he has never seen, and of whose project he knows nothing. As a matter of fact, just as many foreign propositions fail to pay dividends as there are home projects that fail in this particular ,und more money is lost in foreign corporations by the citizens of every town, than is lost in home enterprises. In nine cases out of tcq, the local proposition is just as good as any foreign proposition that is offered and the local men who are behinrf it are just as competent and just as able (o make it pay dividends as are the men who a re hacking the foreign enterprise which the smooth *f1 k ^ah-sm.iri praises in Auch glowing term .

W'a Iter horo I 'res s & Standard HOW To KEEP OHIEDKEN W EI.I. It is a well recognized fact that a ihihl who is to grow and develop nor-I ma I ly re?|uires plenty of food, sleep, exercise and out-of-door life, In addition special care must be devoted to the prevention of certain weak-I nesses and defects by attention to them in the earliest stages. A child must also be guarded as far as possible against attacks of illness. Every purent should be aware of the fact that any illness, however brief! or slight, is a hindrance to growth, J and that every hour spent by the child in pain or disturbance means I some loss to him and may mean per- I manent impairment of some organ or I function of the body. It is now J known that many serious and chronic I illnesses of adult life have their be j ? ginnings in some diseases of childhood like mcftsles, whooping cough, I scarlet fever, diphtheria, or the serious disturbances of digestion. An important measure which* the intelligent parent irrav take in the prevention of nth...- f....f plncrr. as well as of weaknesses and defects, j is to have the child thoroughly exam- I incd by a physician at regular inter-J t als. After a child i- ill or some do-j feet or disability has grown up, the physician will do all that he can to relieve the condition, hut his service would have been infinitely greater to the family if he could have had the I __ opportunity to foresee and prevent the had result. The physician will wel-J tome the chance to give correct ad-J vice as to the proper food and eare J necessary to keep the child well and make him thrive, says A. \V. Humphries, M. D., Kershaw County health director.

DEPENDABILITY OF RAILROADS The dependability of the railroad* in discussed by President A. E. Cliffc, of the Central of Georgia in a state* merit published today. "The public reliea upon the railroad* for dependable transportation twenty-four hour* a day, the year iiround, regardless of weather condition*" declared Mr. ('lift. "If flooda or storms interrupt transportation, the railroads make every poaaible penditure of effort and money fot* the immediate restoration of service. Competing forma of transportation moke no efforts, and apparently feet no such responsibility but await tha spending of publct money Co rebuild roads and bridges. Mr. ('lift cites specifically the calls made upon the railroads in time of emergency, when the railroads respond with either changes of rates as in the recent drought or with extra and unusual facilities as in times of flood. The Central's president asks that in considering transportation the public take into conrifadonifion not only the reliability of the railroads but the fact that they operate in the face of what amounts to subsidized competition. "Highways used by motor trucks and buses, and waterways used by barge lines, are built, maintained and renewed by money from -the public treasury raised by taxation. The railroads as taxpayers pay a large part, not only for the construction but for 'tii?- maintenance and renewal of these labilities for their competition." HOOVER'S TRAIN GCARDED As He Came South From Boston I .est Red-. \lteinpt Demonstration I'11 ,-iden! 11 ..over > pecia I tram, cat t ying linri from Boston, where he 1 del t v e red two addresses Monday, to King? Mountain. S. (V. where he will deliver another public address, passed through Philadelphia shortly before.: midnight last night, says the Philadelphia Inquirer of Tuesday. The five-car train, heavily guarded by Secret Service men, halted for about five minutes at the Westphiladelphia Station while engines and crews were changed for the next leg of the southern run. Considerable speculation was caused by a duplicate special train, carrying the same number and types of curs as the Presidential special, which sped over the rails a few moments in advance and did not stop at West Philadelphia. There were reports that, because ff the Red demonstration in Cleveland last week, the first train had been sent on ahead as a precautionary measure and to distract attention from the actual presidential special. Officials of the railroad, hwoever, said the first train had been made up to accommodate the "overflow" of the Boston presidential party. It was reported also that all bridges along the line from New York to Washington had been under guard for hours hefor ethe Presidential special passed over them, and that the first train had, in reality, carried at least a score of Federal detectives. Only a handful of accredited persons were permitted to descend to the train platform at the West Philadelphia station last night. Those few were there when the first train thundered through, with lights blazing in its first two cars and its last three in total darkness, with every curtain drawn ti ghtly. When the second train came in, admittedly that which carried President Hoover, the observation car on the rear, "Coral Gables." was guarded heavily. Through its large plate gins- windows could bo seen masses of fiowers. On the platform stood half a dozen men w l*? kept their right hands in their pockets and watched every move that ua- made in the vicinity of the train. Whether the president was in that car. or asleep in one of the other four, muld not be learned. The train pulled cut slowly ar.ri disappeared into the Market street tunnel with the figures of the secret service men silhouetted sharply against the rear of th*. in: as they stood on the platform. Man Loses Hand in Oil Mill Accident .lames Wallace, a colored man employed by the Southern Cotton Oil Company plant here for a number of years, suffered the loss-of his left ham! in an accident at the plant Tuesday night. The hand got caught in machinery ami it was so badly crushed that amputation was necessary. Wallace is an old and faithful employee of the company, having worked for them for the past twelve years. In Japanese mythology the fox is represented as having been born first into the world. 5> .1 ? ' III .ll.gggCEggBacagggBMBM GOLF AT THE MILL DOOR Mill "hand#" playing golf? To bo sure, at least in some of the model industrial communities in the South, and one has only to journey to a Charlotte suburban textile settlement to see the game going on in full blaat and on a course built by the mill workers. The story comes from Boston by way of a contribution In The American Golfer, from the pen of George L. Moore who is an officer in this Southern mill where golfing is a recreation of the employes. . He relates that several years ago one or two young men from the office of this Charlotte mill Would go out in the evening after work and practice putting on a rough, uneven piece, of ground near the mill. The operatives would drift by and watch the proceedings with considerable amusement. Eventually one by one they began to show an interest in trying to hit the ball. As he swung, others laughed h^rtily at his efforts, which were, of course, rather awkwurd. But something would happen every time the club connected with the halt. Pretty soon the whole lot was dotted with fellows trying their hands at golf. Eventually they asked the management for permission to construct two or three holes. This was given, and the gume caught on. Now they have a nine-hole layout. Practically all the labor was done by the men themselves. They have their own club, which began with a handful in 11)27 and now numbers more than do. The dues are $5 a year. The club membership and the ofliicrs include battery hands, sweepers, picker hands, weavers, spedecr hands, overseer-, in fad all kind oft employes in the miii. Most of these people trace hack their ancestry to the Anglo-Su\'.r: whites in tlie south t in mounta; - and how they do show their -tuff when it comes l<>} golf. Gjit* of the overseers, who is around l'f years old, has learned entirely on this course. He never haji had any professional training. Frequently he breaks par for the course, 31. One of the operatives told Mr. Moore that golf has done more for him than anything that has entered his life. He said he used to look forward to Saturday when he could get a pint of liquor and could go off and lie under a tree somewhere. Now he is on the golf course every minute of his spare time. And there is no nineteenth hole at this club! The Kendall company has wanted every oue to take, vacations, and a great many of these people have never known what to do with their vacations until golf came along and gave them something to do with their leisure time. Now, they plan weeks ahead what courses they can play during their vacations. They read everything they can lay their hands on that has to do with golf. Mr. Moore ventures that probably the papers have no mure?interested readers?in the Unit- ' ed States of their golf writings than these Thrift people. They get booklets and catalogues from all over the United States. They know rates of all the courses of the South, and a great many of the famous courses in the North. Many of them have studied the construction of golf courses, and with the practicul experience which they acquired in making their own course, some of these textile operatives would really make good golf architects. Instead of being an expensive game golf for the textile operatives has been quite reasonable. The initia-' tion fee into the club is $5, and the annual dues are the same. Hence the player is under an expense of $10 for the first year for playing privileges. The company's purchasing department bays a good portion of the golf supplies and the club members get the benefit of the saving effected in hulk buying. Usually a member starts tiff with a cheap kit. consisting of possibly two clubs,' costing no more than $10. Later on. a- he get> to know more of the came, he adds to his equipment, usually one club at a time until he gets :il! he wants. The tax for ball> will not exceed $lo a year, and about the same for caddies. Mr. .Moore is interested in the circumstance that they have picked up the etiquette and courtesy of the game remarkably well. At first such matters were treated rather lightly, such, for instance, as waiting for the player farther from the hole to putt. Hut now they have become pretty well acquainted with these finer points, and observe them closely. "I have been for many years interested in the game of golf," he says, "and what has taken place with these men is surely the most interesting development in the game that has come to my attention."?-Charlotte Observer. Three persons were burned beyond teedgnition when fire destroyed an automobile near Deland, Fla., on Saturday. The car bore a Pennsylvania license plate. \ More Money From Chickens Clemson "College, Opt. 17.?Seventy farmers in South Carolina, getting an average of 10 egga per bird from 7,604 hens in the demonstration flocks made an income of 20 cents per hen above feed cost during September, reports P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman who adds that these eggs were sold at an average of 36 cents per dozen. W. L. Coker of Tubcrville took first honors in the backyard class, composed of less thnn 50 hens, while Mrs. Carrie Brogdon, of Manning, took first in the farm flock class, and W. B. Nickles, of Hodges, had the highest producing commercial flock. In the calendar egg record flocks Mrs. W. P. Epperson, of Pine wood, received the highest egg production, and Misses L. and M. Thielkuhl, of Wnlhalla, took first in the farm flock class. These records were made on average farm flocks which are provdied with comfortable, inexpensive houses and are fed balanced rations. Records on hundreds of farm flocks have shown that if a hen is provided with the above comforts she will return her owner a net profit of $2 or more per year. Short Oil Measures North Carolina motorists last year were "gyped" out of about $210,468 motor oils they never got but paid due to the discovery that fully M per cent of the pumps, cups botcans'and jars used for mcasur".g are "short," according to C. D. Haueom, state inspector of weights and measures. Mr. Haucom, who has fccntly made a check-up, reports that quart oil bottles are made about four tablespuonfuls short and since about 750,00<) gallons of oils were u>ed in the state last year the loss will reach wejl toward a guarter of a million dollars. No indictments have been made, but faulty measures have been condemned, Mr, Haueom said.?Cherryyille Eagle*.
