~~ J Friday, July I5? **>32
vSomo time a go The (chronicle published
a call for Judge M. L. Smith
to offer for the general assembly in j
the approaching primary. -Since that
time there haa been a delude of lot- j
tors and personal demands from ad- J
mirers of Judtfe Smith from every,
section of the county, asking that be i
come-forward and tender his services
to the poo|.?|o ?t this time.
It is known that for more than a
year Judge Smith suffered from a
very serious illnosH, and only recently:
has he been able to fully resume his,
, practice. His vigorous and able pro-j
solution of bis cases at the term of
court just closed indicates a complete!
recovery, and it is believed that by i
the next issue of this paper wo will
be able to carry a definite announcement
from him of his decision to
allow his name to be used. Those
close to him know that he has been
deeply affected by the insistence of
his friends and it is believed that he
is only awaiting a Anal word from his
physicians before entering the race.
Without authority from Judge
Smith wo believe that we cun almost
certainly promise an announcement in
our next week's isaue.
Forest Fires And (lame
Forest fires sweep across the nesting
grounds of ijuail and other game
birds, destroying eggs and young
birds. Fires destroy the forage upon
which big game animals live. When
fires occur late in the fall, big game,
animals, especially deer, suffer during
the*following winter and frequently
die <?f starvation. Fires spoil the
fi Ling, for fishing depends upon j
jfchr waters, anil when lly forest iSj
ilestioyod by fire the resulting erosion
muddies the /dreams and lakes j
and puts an end to good sport. Ifsportsmen
realized how birds and ^
animals are driven out by fires, how
coverts and nests are destroyed and,
how much food for wild life goes up i
in smoke when the forest burns, they
would observe the utmost care with
cam]) fires, smokes and firearms
when in the woods.
Forest fires destroy lumber, injure
labor, kill industry, rob the community.
and increase taxes. Preyent
forest fires?it pays!?-Charles W.
Nuite, County Forester.
I)AI) AND HIS DAY
Last Sunday, I'.Hh, was celebrated
throughout the nation as "Dad's
Day." and many a father went to
his usual duties Monday morning
wearing a new tie, or carrying a new ,
handkerchief, or enjoying the luxury
of a now shirt, all because he was!
not forgotten, and in most instances
the articles were paid for with his
own hard earned cash. There have!
been many jokes poked at the "old
man." but we believe he deserves the
following from the pen of some unknown
writer:
"Rvery time I see the motto, 'Clod
Bless Our Home,' I just can't help
thinking of the man who furnishes
the shingles over tho home, the man
- who holds off the buteher or the grocer,
the man who hauls out the ashes
and brings home the bacon. Dud is
the one who buys the turkey, who
carves the turkey, and?-draws tho
neck and wing as a reward.
"True, it is Mother who darns the
socks; but who pays for the socks 1
When a burgtar is in the cellar, it's
Dad who gets a kick in the back.
When company comes, Dad fidgets
like a puppy chewing a string. When
he wants to smoke, he is sent to the
woodshed.
"But with all Dad's faults, there
is something about him that we more
than love. Dad is as steady as a hay
wagon, as certain as the drip from
fnnwt. When Dad's forehead
wrinkles like last year's apple,
:t rr-hah!y because he is thinking
; rice of coal. And sometimes;

Dignified Assemblage
A young lady, finding herself j
stranded in a small town, asked an
old man at the station where she
might spend the night.
"There ain't no hotel here," he replied,
"but you can sleep with the
station agent."
"Sir!" she exclaimed, "111 have you
know I'm a lady."
"That's a11 right," drawled tho old
man. "So is the station agent."
Ironed Out
He sent his precious poem to the
editor. "Let me know at once whether
you can use it," he wrote, "as 1
have other irons in the fire."
in a few days the answer came
back from the editor: "Remove irons,;
insert poem."

BACK IX) TUB cbuNTRY
It i* axiomatic that an organisation,
to maintain a condition of prosperity,
must return to ita members
and patrons something in the nature
of value ireceived. Cities, as a tlass,
have long since ceased to do ao. They
have lost prosperity, they are losing
patronage. An advance in the economic
Htutus of small towns naturally
follows. It iji one of the bright spots
in this era of gloom.
Consider the plight of our two'leading
metropolises?Chicago and New;
York. The first, its credit exhausted, j
appeals for federal uid in feeding its
poor and unemployed lest revolution |
and anarchy force military rule upon
it not later than the coming ihonth
of August. The second, still able to
borrow, though on unfavorable terms, (
continues its orgy of spending and j
constantly mounting taxes. Both are j
nidden by gangs and racketeers, shel- j
to red and protected by powerful politicians,'
who force upon their citi-j
/ens prices for food, milk, ^aundiy, j
cleaning and a hundred other essert-.
tials of life, far beyond what these i
things should normally cost. Slums
and tenements provide living conditions
too low for belief by any selfrespCeting,
country workingman. Industry,.
taxed to the hilt, drives its
employees to the limit, pays them a
minimum living wage, lays them off
at the first sign of shortening sales,
and struggles to maintain a sti^to of
solvency in difficult times.
The logical sequel?an exodus to
rural communities?has already begum
As the difficulties of the city
increase, its speed will be accelerated.
Naturally the factory leads the way, (
seeking cheaper real estate lightly j
taxed, lower insurance rates, leys i
overhead. Its skilled workmen ae-1
company or follow. The small town s J
surplus of common labor is absorbed j
and the remaining places are filled i
by drawing upon surrounding villages,
or nearby cities. Better housing con- j
ditions for the workman and his fam-j
ily and healthier, saner living' con-j
ditiuns convert him to rural life. The:
grafting city loses a portion of itsj
revenue.
Slowly;.and gradually these migra-tions
are taking place. The smaller
communities, which for. years have
been gazing at the vacant windows
of unoccupied factory buildings, arc
now witnessing a return to the dajs
when whistles blew and workmen
thronged the streets at closing time.
America's best investment today is
her rural villages where graft and
extravagance and hoodlumism have
failed To make inroads; and America's
rural villages' best bet is in preserving
that condition of freedom
from that which marks their point
of superiority over the metropolises.
?Leroy News-Gazette.
IT IS NOW PAY DAY
The Bible gem, "you will reapj
what you sow", has never been im-:
proved on. It is true in every pha>o
i.f life, and is ju.-t as applicable to
governments as it is to individuals.;
During the war carpenters, brickma-j
M>ns, and ordinary day-laborers were
paid enormous wages, while the privates
in the cantonments where these .
fancy wages hands were working.
were getting $'10 a month. It was j
bound to create a spirit of resentment.
Now the government is being
called upon to pay for its mistakes.
These same privates arc demanding
what they did not get during their
terms of service. Further than that,
the government placed the country
upon a scale of wages and salaries
from which it finds itself unable to
be extricated. 'The raiirodas were
guaranteed a profit, and salaries
were boosted to the skies.. Now the
railroads are broke and there does
not seem to be any help for it.
But pay day has arrived.?'Bamberg
Herald.
Bible School (Hoses
On Friday, July 15, the Daily \ a-J
cation Bible school which has been in
session for two weeks at the First
Baptist church will come to a close. I
We are very anxious to have the!
parents and all others who will at- ;
ter.d ?>ur commencement <-n taxi Friday
own.ng ;ind witness a demon-.
-:-ai,on of what your child:* n and
others have learned.
It w.li begin exactly at v:U) o'clock,
be ;n your serrt or. trme so that
you can witness the processional
march. The program will last about
one hour and will include demon- j
s trillions by every department of the;
school. After the pr^ram the school,'
will keep house so that you can see
exhibits of handwork. Please do not
disappoint your children and the faculty
by being absent.
The teachers have been deeply interested
and tireless in their efforts
to make these turo weeks an epochal
period in the child life of Camden. We
are sure that you believe in a Daily)
Vacation Bable school now since you j
realize how much it has helped your j
children. We greatly appreciate your j
cooperation. It ha* been a joy to the
faculty to give of their time and effort
to make the boys nr.d girls have
a happy and profitable time.
NOT A CANDIDATE
John P. Hunter of Lancaster county
has been asked by friends to offer
for the legislature, but philosophically
inclines to the opinion that a
majority of his friends in that county
would not support him, once they
were aware of what he stood for. In
the Lancaster News he outlines some
of these things: "I am in favor of
reducing taxes by reducing salaries
and abolishing useless oflficeji. I am
in favor of our neighborhood schools
being kept up and teachers eynployed
to teach the children at lea&t eight!
hours each school day. ! would stopj
the heavy expense of running school j
buses. 1 am flavor of the taxpay-!
cms being allo d to pay their taxes
at a reasonable discount monthly or
quarterly instead of requiring thpm
t<4 pay such penalties when unable
to pay such taxes,. I am also opposed
to big, extravagant appropriations
being heaped upon us every
session of the Legislature."
As we see it, Mr.- Hunt**- is correct
in assuming that the voters of
his codhty would not elect him for
espousing such a platform. And yet
if any saving, and economy arc ef-v
fected in the conduct of county and
state government it will have bo be
carried out along such lines as Mr.
Hunter suggests. That is the one <
sure, safe way, without involving any
possibility of chance. And the cost
of government is such that the taxpayers
are at about the end of their
row. The politician and officeholder 1
shouts himself hoarse preaching economy,
but fails to tackle the subject
in practical effective manner. The 1
40 counties of the state need legislative
candidates offering this summer
on such a platform as Mr. Hunter
suggests. Having swung to one i
extreme, that of liberality, prodigal- j i
ity and waste in handling the tax- i
payers' money in making up the ap- }
propriations, why not let the pen-^
dulum swing back the other way fori
:i season? Maybe then debt-ridden j
and tax-burdened agriculture would
get a gasp of breath, while industry
and business could also see some hope
ahead.?Spartanburg Journal.
General News Notes
The. peach crop in Union county is ]
of high quality, but smaller than last ^
year, owing to a gale "on July 4, blow- ;
ing peaches off trees and breaking
down limbs full of fruit.
During a recent thunder storm,
lightning struck the concrete paving
on the road between Gaflfney and
Union* and tore out six holes in the
middle of the road, from 50 to 150),
feet apart and extending for 1,000 j
feet. There is a steel reinforcing rod)
in the middle of the concrete slab. |'
Greenville county peach growers
will begin packing the crop about August
1. this year, against July 15, last j
year.* The crop is not so large the* (
year as last year, but the peaches are
larger and finer in the orchards, although
their growth has been retard- 1
ed and ripening is later.
The Greenville county grand jury j
in special session to investigate a I- (
leged jury "bribery there heard evidence
that several jurors were paid;
from $25 to $75 each, and the defend-1
ant was acquitted. The grand jury
will report to the next sessions court j
and probably return some indictments,
and a lawyer has been re- -i
tained to assist the solicitor in the
prosecution of the cases.
At Charleston, about 1,000 civilian
employees of the government are hit
by the reduction of pay by enforced
vacations in the new economy law.
The navy yard there will save $75,000,
at Fort Moultrie the saving will be
$12,500, and more savings will be effected
in the coast guard, the prohibition
enforcement, the weather bureau,
the lighthouse, the engineers
and the department of justice ser- j
vices there.
The fourth week of the traveling
oratorical contest for a seat in the
United States senate from South Carolina
closed at Sumter with about 500
people in the audience. This woorc'
the show moves on to the Pee Dotsection.
Hnrris exposed Smith'
claims to have caused the farm h-ar,
act. and Smith retorted that it woul't
take a new man 20 years to reach
h;> own efficiency as a senator, ever. ^
with bis own brains and character
and ho doubts whether the new aspirants,
Harris ami W illiams, have
either. "What we need is economy in
state and federal governments," Cole,
L. Blease, former governor arvl sen- 1
ator said. In discussing prohibition.
Blease said "if the majority of the
people want prohibition repealed the i
: minority should fall in line and help;
work out a good plan of control." !

bank at San Pierre, Ind., Tuesday.

HOW IT WBNT
During: the world war the Uirited
States government, according to a
professor of Cornell university, never
had at any one time more tham 300,00b'horses
and mules, yet the war department
bought nearly 8,OOOv(XM>
haltars, more than 1,500,000 horse
brushes, 2,000,000 nosebags, over 1,000,000
horse covers, nearly 0,000,000
horseshoes, and while there were never
more thau 80,418 cavalry horses,
the government purchased nearly 1,000,000
saddles and over 500,000 saddle
bags. Thirty-two sets of spur
traps were bought for every officer
in the ordnance department. There
were a few more than 3,500,000 enlisted
men in the army, yet the government
bought and had delivered
more than 32,000,000 pairs of shoes?
about ten pairs, each.
When you pay the extra cent for
gas, the tax on cosmetics and nearly
everything else you buy, you might
bear in mind the dbowe figures. They
are very interesting.?'Bamberg Herald.
Holt f rom a Clear Sky
, Stroudsburg, Pa.?That ibolt from a
clear sky that one heat's so much
about materialized here, with tragic
results. Charles Ames, digging a
ditch in bright sunlight, was killed
by a lightning bolt. There was an
electrical storm in the distance. K
Tom Early, veteran bearkeeper, was
clawed to death by a large grizzly
bear at Brook side park near Cloveland,
O., Friday. The animal was
usually very domicile and tame.
