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 .
Ibe-e isn't a town that wouldn't

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

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*.
