Price per annum 12.00, payable in advance, Friday, October 9, 193! Senator I>wjght Morrow, of New Jersey, died suddenly Monday, after u career that helped V wake hirfory. Horn in West Virginia, he was graduated from Amherst in lK9f>, in the same . .a?s with Calviri Coolidge, whoni ul commencement he selected a- tin member of the class who would go farthest. Entering finance, he. later became a member of J. P. Mor-J gun ynd company, and a few years ago resigned from that famous firm' to become ambassador to Mexico, There he smoothed out the irritations j of long standing which threatened war between that country and this,! and became very popular with both ! government and populace, He was appointed United States senator from] New .Jersey to fill a vacancy, and J nmde another record by not making | a speech during his attendance on the senate floor of many months. He achieved great distinction in both finance and diplomacy and was often mentioned for the presidency in the future. Mr. Morrow is the father of Mrs. Charles Lindbergh. If you owe the other fellow pay him as promptly as you possibly can and then he can pay the other fellow. If you owe a large amount and cannot pay It all at once, then pay it in small amounts?many small amounts added together will make a big one. One of the biggest businesses in the United States is based mostly on amounts 'of 1, 2, ii and f) cents at a time?the post office business. Many large corporations depend for their existence on sales of 5 and 10 cents at a time. It is the volume tliut counts. Pay small amounts if you can't pay in big ones. Yorkville Enquirer. The grand jury of Oconee was called in special session to employ a certified accountant to audit all the defunct hanks in that county, as a part of its investigations about any__eiuminal acts, and held an open meeting in the courthouse with invitation for all persons having complaints to appear and make them. CUSS THE NEWSPAPERS When politicians are unable to answer an argument of a newspaper, it is the popular thing to cuss out the papers in general and accuse them of selfish motives. And it will be noted that the cussing is never confined to one newspaper in particular, but to the fourth estate in general. That adds dignity to the cussing, and makes it less personal. Politicians do not like to get too personal in their remarks. The more territory that is covered, the less likelihood there is of personal danger. So, when a lawmaker up in Columbia could not answer a newspaper argument against outlawing cotton, he sought refuge by saying thut the whole darn family of newspapers is yellow. But that is nothing new. They have been saying that probably ever since the first newspaper came off a Washington hand press. And it will go on until the last edition is bn the street?or the millenium arrives.?The Bamberg Herald. . * Confession You may come upon a man now and then who will, when presented with a bill the first of the month, put up the plea that he has lost all of his money in the recent bank failure. Of course this may be true in some cases. But this scribe has no such alibi. Upon in?piir\ at the hank this morning we found that I<ew;s M.

'I he commission has instructed it> examiners throughout the country to request competitors for Government positions not to make premature inquiries about their ratings inasmuch as such inquiries increase the volume of the work. Rating reports are mailed in every instance as soon as possible. HACK TO THE FARM (By l>r. R. H. Bennett, President of Lander College.) That is the cry today. It is given as the cure for many cases of unemployment. A man must decide for himself what is best. But there are many advantages in the country. There is independence. There is food and firewood, often free rent and there is freedom and room." LOok at the crowded life of the city. Why a city dog has to wag his tail up and down. He has no room for a side motion. A country (log can wave his banner horizontally with vigor and sweep. Note the letter of the city girls visiting in the country for the first time to her mother. "Dear Mother, so many things are different here. For instance 1 miss that beautiful blue tinge to the milk 1 have always been used to and when the milk here sets over night, a thick yellow scum rises on it. The country man at the table says, 'Pass me the cream.' The city man says, 'Is there any milk in that pitcher?' Why shouldn't the country man name his boy as he did ? He said his own name was Fertie and his wife's name was Eliza and s<> ho named the boy after both parents, and called him Fertilizer. Well, isn't that a good word ? In" the country you can get game, sometimes even wild turkeys, though you have to keep tab on your colored help. My friend says his neighbor farmer sent his colored help for a turkey. It came. "But George, I told you I wanted a tame turkey this time. This is a wild turkey, it has shot in itru Yasser, dat's a tame turkey, boss. Dent shot in it was meant for me." My New York friend tells of Johnny Upthecreok visited his rich uncle in "little old New York." Uncle took hint to lunch ir\ a tony joint. As they walked away from the dining room, Johnny said, "Did you know you left some money on the table? That thief of a waiter tried to get it, but 1 was too quick for him." But after you struggle for a while with the tipping nuisance, you feel like Johnny when he went into the wash room of a modern hotel where there were tilting wash basins, and over them a sign which said. "Please tip the basin after using." "I'll be hanged if I do." said Johnny. "I'll go dirty first." My Richmond friend says a rail road conductor was elected deacon ;n his church and chosen to pass the collection plate. He went to work enthusiastically with bis new honor Things worked well until he held the plate before a man who put nothing m it. From mere force cf habit the , conductor reached up to pull the bel cord to put the dead beat off the , train. Income Taxes Americans who object to their Fed eral income tax would have something to kick about if they lived in England ^ A single man or woman in Americi earning $2,000 a year pays $5.62 it income tax. The same salary ii ^ England would call for a tax of ap proximately $175. A married mar t in the United States with a $2,00i 1 income pays no tax. In England h pays $312.50. With a $-1,000 inconv ' and one child an American ma: 1 would pay $1.12. In England the -at< is $725.

Unemployment decreased slightly j in South Carolina lately according to the reports to the department of labor at Washington. More employment was especially visible in the textile industry. A thief entered the home of a Columbia housewife, stole a large slice of chocolate cake, and took nothing else. His identity is unknown, so it is impossible to ascertain how he learned of that lady's ability as a cake maker. With throngs of shoppers coming from a wide area around that city, Anderson merchants had a larger trade last Saturday than they have had at any time this summer, and are feeling much encouraged regarding better times in the oflfing.

He will recover. Tight-Wads It is always an amusing sight to see a tight-wad trying to appear to be a gcrod sport.
