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.

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 |

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.

Widow of 0. C. 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.

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.
The individual deposits in the bust-,
ed chain bank bad only about $9,000,000
in it when it closed, the examination
of its books discloses. The total
deposits were only mbout $10,000,000
when it quit, instead of the $24,000,000
at the time of its last published
statement. Of the total, Uncle Sand
has $2,002,000 in the banks, and state,
counties and towns have $5,000,000
more secured, making a total of about'
$7,000,000 preferred and secured
clairhs, and leaVing $9,000,000 to be
paid out of dividends of the receiver
to persons. There are 60,000 of such
depositors, making the deposits average
$150 per person.

advocate of light wines and beer, w??
disappointed when figure* be had
called for as to the W>or employed In
the manufacture of beer in the United
States previous to Volstead day*,
was presented to him by the labor depertinent.
In 1914 the brewery industry
employed a maximum of 76,404
men! in 1919 the figures had
dropped to 42,6&9, while in 1909 the
number employed had been 66,725. It I
is being claimed by advocates of beer
that its manufacture and sale would
contribute much to the reduction of
unemployment.
