Friday, January 22, 1M2* Not Time To Give Up It i? not often a state is called up* on to ahoulder ju*t the burden placed upon South Carolina in recent weeks, and it is well to appreciate the extent of our difficulties, but it is not well for us to permit these difficulties to overwhelm us, or to discourage us in the determination to go forward with tho development of the state's resources and the purpose to make South Carolina more nearly self-sufficient than it has beon in recent years. We wig, not be wise, if such emphusia is placed upon retrenchment as to thwart the spirit of constructive progress, by creutinig the popular impression the states leaders are without hope. As a matter of fact now is tho time to build upon tho safest foundations. And that should be the spirit given encouragement. The ship of state should bo made tight for the - storm, but should push on towards the harbors of ?oeurity.--Spartanburg Herald. The World In A Panic The world is panic-stricken. Confidence in government, business and people has boon destroyed^' Tho world is tho victim of an inferiority complex. ( Perhaps in the world's history has there never been such widespread lack of confidence in governments, from the strongest and greatest to the weakest link in- the chain. Never a more widespread loss of confidence in humanity than exists today. Apparently no one has any confidence in the honesty and integrity of our governments ?- federal, state, county, city, town. ' No matter what any government official offers as a solution lor _QUX ecpnomioal. and polb_ tical difficulties, immediately ten thousand rise up to offer violent and destructive criticism. When the presidont of the United States puts forth suggestions as to ways and means for bettering conditions, immediately ho is criticized from nil sides, inside of his own political party and outside of it, and yet hi* critics, individually or collectively are unable to offer plans that will relieve the condition* tho president seeks to ameliorate. If our own governor or the governors of other states suggest plana for bettering conditions they are immediately set upon by a bunch of critics. If the ^leaders in commerce and finance offer suggestions tending to better conditions, they are immediately charged with planning for their own -elfish ends, their suggestions arc- turn t*? pieces and thrown on the heap. K\i-:y man of wealth is looked up:i an animal of p-cy .seeking to dev.-.:;- a!! those le.%.s wealthy than ! im-c/. when he offers plans for bettering conditions. . 1-1 very offer of suggestions or. plans made by members of congress or state legislatures that might have tgerm of business recovery planted in them i< immediately set ujxm and torn to pieces by other members of congress or legislatures, and conditions are in nowise improved. Neighbors are suspicious of neighbors. business associates of each other. communities of other communities?all are charged with beirvg actuates! by selfish motives. Kverv movement looking toward a betterment of world conditions by one gove-rmor.t is quickly torn to pieces by other governments with the eye of -usr>.< . jea! ui-y and selfishness. 11,-a'. <oo;?*--.ition among govem:i e- - an i pe -plcs appear-, to be i r. c : . r.>\e-i and w;th--ut sincere r-*"n . ;; e .p? ?> . recovery is at; : : m-' -.ble. p. ... 1 a. e r. r.f d-n in (?.!:.r. g >-rnn'.e: - run f -r the! r.-h: ' ;-> r man has no r gr.ti and I r..* keep what 1 have in' my ; -k.-t-; the courts are for the rich." ann so or.. With lack of c -nfidence in the govornment, m bank*. in neighbors, friends, there car. bo r.o recovery from business dap-ess.on. v<The business world is built entirely on a foundation of confidence and with (hit destroyed we have nothing to build on. Business and prosperity will only come back when we as individuals assert confidence in our own selves first; then in neighbors, in our local institutions and our banks, in our local and stale governments and in our national government, and in the officials who are at the head of governmental affair*. We must show th/?t we have confidence in our legislatures and our congress; in our railroads, farms, mills and other great industries. We have been victims of the inferior complex long: enough; that attitude has worked enough of injury to all of us. It is time to assert oursekves and .-dart building upward, pulling ourselves out bf this swamp of pessimism. It will start when we as in-; dividuauls begin showing full confidence in ourselves first.?Yorkville | Enquirer. I cf On Paying Accounts I (Second of a Series of Articles To Appcr in The Chronicle) About a year ago the Chamber of Commerce of Camden made a small experiment along the line of having about a dozen people send bo ones that they owed, a check for $5.00 and with the request that the check be endorsed and in turn passed on to other creditors. These checks were endorsed on an average of about ten times, thus pay* ing a total indebtedness in Camden of approximately ten times the original amount. ' yH The experiment above described is of course a inattor of public knowledge but is such a very plain example* of what it means to all of US as a community to pay our local bills as promptly as possible in order that this money may bo passed on to the next man. . _ ' . . .. In times of depression such as this when money with all of us is scarce, the only way we can hope to approach a normal condition is to keap our money circulating faster, which means paying our own bills more promptly and then each one oif us pawdng it on to the ones we owe. We so often' hear our merchants complaining of the slowness of collections and of their inability to pay their own bills because their local customers do not pay them. Is not this condition partly the fault of the merchants themselves? Is it hot caused in one way by the merchant extending too much credit and allowing the account to become so large that the merchant himself knows his customer can never pay it? Is not one capse of slow collections caused by the merchant sending his bills only once a month ami sometimes not for much longer and sometimes not until it is asked for by the customer ? Some people only send checks or pay bills when they have the bills or statements before them and unices merchants send out their bills promptly every month there is much delay in payments. In many cases where the purchaser buys only once and it is not a running account the 'bills should be sent at once. ?? In times like the present our greatest help can come only from cooperation and helping each other and promptness in meeting our obligations to each other is one of the most important ways in which each of us can help.

Catoe Wins In $25,000 Suit \-The United State* supreme court ha* refuaed to interfere with the award of $35.1)00 damages to Mrs. Verna Catoe in Common Pleas Court for the death of her husband, O. C. Catoe, at Hayne Junction in 1920, according to a notice received by attorneys in the case Monday. Attorneys involved in the case which has been warmly contested in the* courts for several years received notice of the decision from Washington yesterday. I.egal counsel for the plaintiff was Nicholls, Wyche and Byrnes, and Kvant and (lalbraith. Donald Kussel later joined this counsel when Senator Byrnes ceased the practice of law. H. E. DePass represented th'e railway. The ,ca?e was twice appealed to the South Carolina Supreme court/ When first tried in Spartanburg Court of Common Pleas a verdict was returned for th<> benefit of the widow and her three minor children. Upon the first appearance to the State Supremo Court a new trial Was ordered. After a rehearing of the case1, a verdict of $25,000 for Mis. Catoe was returned. This time, the results were affirmed on an appeal to the higher state court. Claiming that Federal statutes were, involved, a petition was marie on behalf of the railroad to the United States Supreme court for writ of certiori. * Yesterday's order denied this petition. O. C. Catoe, the husband of the plaintiff, was employed by the Southern Railway as a car repairer on December 6, 1926,'wher he was fatally injured. He was ordered, according to the complaint to repair i the draw-head of a baggage car which J had been placed on the track at Hayne Junction so the car could be taken to the repair shops. | While Catoe was underneath the baggage car, a switch engine backed into a cut of cars coupled to it causing the wheels to pass over him.| He died of the injuries he received. It was charged that the road failed to protect this workman on the CAT to warn the switch engine crew. Spartanburg Journal. Another Elloree School Burned Elloree, Jan. 20,?Fire last night destroyed the home economics building of the negro school here, and an investigation was started at once to determine the cause of burning of two school buildings in Elloree In less than two weeks. The town's main school building for white children was burned January 9. The fire last night was discovered at 11 o'clock- but flames had gained such headway nothing could be saved. Bloodhounds, brought to the scene early today in the h<>-pe of trailing incendiarists, made little headway. Two nogroo.s were arrested after the fire January 9 birt were later released when they gave satisfactory alibis.
