Rapid Driving of Ambulances
Tho hospital ambulance, supposed
always to bo engaged in tho business
of relieving pain or savin# lives, often
becomes a vehicle of death and injury.
Among the press dispatches
that tell of fatal accidents on the
streets and highways we sometimes
find the hospital ambulance one of
the chief offenders.
Paved roads and streets make it
possible for lambulancp drivers to
rush their cars at breakneck speed
to tho point from which the call is
received and, having placed .the patient
in the car, it is driven over the
highways or through the streets, its
siren screeching, at similar speed.
The result is that accidents frequently
occur, narrow...PRoapes are made,
and a terrified patient is -taken from
the ambulance into the hospital.
Ambulance drivers seem to believe
that they have special privileges on
the streets' and highways which permit
them to ignore traffic and frighten
the drivers of other automobiles.
This is not the ease and it should not j
be. Doctors, almost without exception
know that the removal of a pa-1
tient from his home or the scene of
an' accident demands no such hurry orl
commotion. If a patient is threatened
with shock this rapid transit to'
the hospital with attendant noise and
jolting is likely to promote it.
There -are remarkably few eases of
illness tViat require a rush to the hospital.
The sick person should not bo
permitted to become unduly excited
and the 'mad drive to a hospital creates
excitement. Few surgical cases
demund such madness in gritting the
patient to the surgeon's table. If the
injury is so severe that there is danger
of the patient's death on the way
all the hurry possible will hardly save
him. We believe every surgeon will
endorse that statement. If the injury
is so serious as to require surgery
the patient is further injured
- mthrr than helped by the fright that
must follow wild driving of- an unvbulnnee.
Certainly nervous patients
are not helped by such transportaf
ion.
There is no reason for all this hurry
in ambulance transportation. It
should he prohibited. It may menace
the lives of the patient and certainly
it is a menace ti> those in other cars
and to pedestrians. The only excuse
for it may he found in the fact that
it gives some publicity to the owners
of the ambulance or to the hospital
to which tho patient is to be taken.
?Spartanburg Herald.
On the eve of The Republican national
convention in Chicago, leaders
and delegates were involved in a
chaos of different ideas about what
the platform ought to say about prohibition.
Neither the radical wets
nor the extreme drys can get whut
they want, .hut just how to word the
prohibition plank so as to lose the
fewest votes for the party next November
caused a iot of discussion and
no decision as yet. The entire problem
will he fought out on the floor

i nip' ihility of framing a plank
wh.ih would avoid great opposition

Why Wo I'w Gold
Why do wo use gold for money?
Why can't wo invent or devise some
other mediom of oxchaiigo?
The reason that we Hi'Q compelled
to stick to gold is that men and governmonts
are .so crooked that wo cannot
trust thorn. Gold is the one element
that is difficult to imitate and
the supply is so limited that it cannot
he inflated.
Theoretically, there Is no good reason
why the credit of the government
should not be ample basis for currency.
It would be were it not for
demagogues and dishonest manipulators.
The temptation to keep the
printing presses running, once they
have started to manufacture dollar
bills, is too great for human nature
to resist. ^
That's why we have to rely on
gold, the supply of which is regulated
by nature. Gold is an inefficient
and costly method of regulating the
monoy supply, but it works, As
much cannot be said of any other
method that has been suggested.
J)r. Arthur E. Morgun, president of
Antioch College, says that the gold
question, liko all other economic
problems, is basically a moral question.
"A synthetic money would far better
meet the world's needs were we
sure statesmen and bankers would
not manpulate it for selfish ends," he
says. "The untrust worthiness of
men is the basis for the present
world-wide money famine."
Dr. Morgan argues that prosperity
itself is a moral issue. We cannot
have good times unless the character
of the people is high.
There is an old saying that men
can stand adversity better than prosperity.
Many causes can be found
for the collapse of the long period
of good times which we enjoyed in
the last decade. Among the causes I
i we must list the moral breakdown]
| of men to whom communities looked
for leadership. The courts are now
glutted with civil and criminal actions.
Moral standards were lowered
by the hysteria of the get-rich-quick
days'.
Hard times compel us to reappraise
values in men as well as in
things. Character is the foremost
asset of imen and of nations. Prosperity
now awaits the re-establishment
of confidence and faith in the
integrity of governments and individuals.
There is no substitute for honesty.
When temptation is irresistible, we
must remove tho ' temptation. That
is why we are chained to the gold
system, and why we must have so
many restrictive laws on our statute
books.
Conceivably the day may come
when greed and trickery will be eliminated.
Meanwhile the foremost obligation
of parents and schools is to
cultivate character in the youth of
the nation. That will be, as it always
has been, our most precious
asset. It will be worth more than all
our material resources. ? Imperial

SYNOPSIS OF FISH LAW
Some Change* Made by Laat General
Assembly Told About
iSeveral changes were made in the
fishing law's oJf this state by the last
general assembly and county game
warden I*. O. Funderburk has furnished
us the following information
for publication:
"All non-residents must have a
Ashing license. There is no law;
against Ashing with pole and line,|
rod and reel, bob or any manner of
casting in any waters?clear or muddy
streams. Sportsmen using tins
method can Ash any day in the week
except Sunday, and there is no requirements
as to the kind of Ash you
are allowed to catch with the above
instruments. Hut it is a violation of
law to set hooks and go off and leave
them.
"Seining or netting may be done
from Wednesday morning sunup until
Saturday night sundown in the
muddy streams for the catching ofnon-game
Ash, such as carp, catfish
and hickory shad. The law requires
that if game fish is caught with sein
or net 'they shall be returned to the
water immediately from whence they
came.' No seining or petting shall
be done within one hundred yards pf(
the mouth of clear water streams.
No seining, netting, trapping or trot
line is allowed in the clear waters
of the State, and when a staken net
or trot line is used in the muddy
waters it must not extend more than
half way across the stream.
"No traps or other methods of assembling
fish is allowed in the clear
waters. .
"The law is very strict on catching
Sturgeon. The season closed the J
first of A"pril and when the season
lis open the law requires a $15.00
license attached to a ten-inch mesh
seine.
"An act of the last session of the
legislature gave Game Wardens the
rite to search without warrant fish-j
erinens containers for game fish.
Warden Funderburk in his report
' for the hunting licenses stated that
state and county licenses were fewer
this year than last, but the non-resident
licenses showed an increase.
Tragedy of Hampton Summer Home.
To the general public, the burning
| of High Hanvpton Inn was just an-,
other fire. To Fountain Inn it was
tragic disaster. And yet, strangely (
enough, there are many people in thi8|
region who never heard of the plaoe,,
says the Fountain Inn Tribune. >'
| Originally it was the summer hoftHej
'of South Carolina's war hero and Reconstruction
governor, Wade HampM
ton. It was a quaint old thing, made:
of unpainted pine boards, and furnished
almost as simply as a bar-i
racks. On the wide back porch there
was a contraption called a julep Well
?a wooden chute with, a rope andj
puM^y whereby small vessels containing
a legendary beverage called mint
julep could be lowered into a stonelined
well for cooling.
The governor and his household
spent the summer there, withdrawn
from the world. There were no stores
within reach, and it was necessary to
haul everything from the lowlands.
Old-timers say the Hampton caravan
was like the commissary train of an
army.
I The niggers with the mules and
wagons left the lower part of the
state several days ahead of the family,
The wagons were filled with
household comforts, linen, feather
beds, books, clothing and such things
for the family; flour, corn meal and
other foods for both family and servants,
and hay and grain for the
stock. There were crates of poultry,
too, and some say there were milch
cows tied behind the wagons. It must
have been a noble cavalcade. It takes
a lot to feed white folks, niggers,
mules and saddle horses all through
the summer. Tfye only things the
mountains provided in certain ahund|
a nee were pasturage and corn liquor.
I ?*? i* -"* MiptnTny^ it'ltn I V *

difficulty. for the present highwa> is
steep enough to require sec oral gear
'at times and the water in the moling
system boils over before the climb is
finished.
At the top of the mountain there
isn't much to see except unpainted
pine buildings?the cottages that remain
after the fire?a distant view of
blue ranges, a few fine old trees and
a frog pond. It is the coolness of the j
nights end the perfect quiet of the
days that attracts nerve-frayed summer
guests.
James A. Farley of New York, political
manager for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, predicts that his candidate
will be nominated on the first ballot
at the Democratic convention. He
claims that the "stop Roosevelt"
movement has run its course and any
attempt to \rot out A dark horse will
fail. '
A COMMONPLACE
By Amicus
His house is mortgaged, and he owes
For all the furniture, and too,
lliit farm is mortgaged; still he goes
As if it's all he h^s to do.
Each passing day his Cgdrllac
Boasts its superiority "
Upon the streets, and men atund pack
And say, "How prosperous is he!
His wife in costliest kinds of clothes,
Too good to cook, keep house and sew,
Starts every morning and she goes
The whole day long, to make her show.
They owe each merchant in the town,
And probably will never pay;
Still, they pass noor folk with afroWn
As if young millionnaires -were they.
Such living is sheer foolishness;
Ami yet how common is the case!
And want will Ibe the end unless
There be a turning of -the ways.
In congress yesterday, the house
voted 226 to 175 to call up for a vote
on its merits the two and a half billion
dollar soldier bonus bill, while
the galleries were filled with veterans
of the World war and thousands
| more were outside the house chamber.
If the house passes the bill, what the
i senate will do with it is problematical,
but a veto by the president is a certainty.
The measure received a big
increase of support in the house yes-i
terday by the announcement of the
chairman of appropriations, Congressman
Byrnes, that be will support the
bill now up in the house.
