"WOODMEN SPARE THAT TREE"
In The jf*Uto of August the 29th
appeared a write-up of some of Camden's
historical monuments and landmarks.
Among them was mentioned
the 'Lafayette Cedar," in the court
house yard, and a splendid cut was
presented showing this historical tree.
When the grounds were W'ing made
ready for the erection of the new
court house, and the axe being applied
to trees and shrubbery, Mr.
Charles W. Birch mo re, late editor of
Tho Wateree Messenger, was fearful
that this cedar might be hewn down,
ftlong with other trees, -so ho got together
a number of ladles of the
community who interviewed Mr.
Matthew West, the then county supervisor,
and "Iittfnyctte Cedar" was
saved. This little instance was told
the writer by Mr. Birchmore, and
doubtless was unknown to Miss Shannon,
writor of the article in The
State, and is here mentioned to show
how the interest of one person saved
one of our prized landmarks.

Baruch Favors
Billion Slash
Washington, August 27,r-A billion
dollar slash in the federal budget was
advocated today by Bernard M. Baruch
as a prime essential to business
recovery.
The New York financier and wartime
head of the war industries
board, in the leading article in the
current number of the "Natioij'a Business,"
said' unless a cut is made
"none of the palliatives thus far devised
will succeed," and if it is done
"these palliatives should fcoqn prove
unnecessary."
Baruch said the cost of government
had rison to "alarming proportions
>in recent years," and estimated
the cost this year for federal, state
and local governments at $15,000,000,000.
This, he added, "must be taken
out of the probable income from
wealth-producing effort of $45,000,000,000
before anything is available
for interest on debt and after that of
sustenance,"
"Obviously," he said, "that leaves
littlft or nothing to activate business.
It is an impossible situation."
The financier recommended a definite
reduction in the budget of
$1,11) 1,000,b00. By a "moderate return
to first principles of the American
government and slight relaxation
In political exploitation of the public
purse," he said, the following savings
should be effected: \ I
Veterans bureuu $400,000,000; war
and navy departments $175,000,000;
post office department $150,000,000;
farm bourd $130,000,000; department
of agriculture $100,000,000; commerce
department $30,000,000, and
revision of pay schedules, relinquishment
of improper functions, restriction
of federal aids and subsides, regrouping
and redistribution of functions
and merger abolition and regrouping
of independent agencies,
| $200,000,000.
lie said the $400,000,000 savings in
veterans' cost could be effected in 20
words: "No part of the appropriation
under this act shall be paid to any
person except for or on account of an
actual war-connected loss or disabil-*'
ity."
Ultimate Prosperity.
There will be no lasting prosperity
in South Carolina, whether cotton
sells at eight cents or forty cents a
pound, unless the people shall live
within their incomes, lay up something
for a rainy day, practice the
rules of economy and prudence that
were known when Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob shepherded their flocks and
that have never been repealed.?Charleston
News and Courier.
Rosy Outlook."
While we are not predicting that
prosperity is right around the corner,
the improvement in the stock
ami commodity markets give rise to
the hope that the "spark" has been
applied to business conditions and
that the country is on the upgrade.
There is ample reason to believe
that the wheels of industry and
commerce are gradually beginning to
turn more rapidly and that soon they
will gather such momentum as to remove
the fear that has gripped the
nation for the past three years.?
Laurens Advertiser.
Sizing 'Em Up.
We need less mouth and more
brain in politics. If we do not quit
substituting prejudice, whooping,
hurrahing and frothing, at the mouth,
for thinking when we have a public
office ufider consideration, we are
presently going to -find ourselves in
an even worse condition than at present.
The times demand sane, steady,
and honest men in office. Such men
never flatter us, neither do they bamboozle
and stampede us. It is only
the self-seeker who does this. Why
should we help him into a fat job?

Financial Advice.
Don't buy stocks, cotton, grains or
anything else on a margin. It
would be much safer to risk your
money on the turn of a card or the
flip of a coin. Even in this form of
gambling the odds are not against
you, but when you play the other
fellow's game your cards are turned
face upward on the tabta while his
are concealed.?Dillon Herald.
Definition.
When is a democrat not a democrat?

Herbert Hoover in 1928 and am
proud of it." And?that's no reflec- 1
tion upon a republican.?Marion Star.

Few Idle, Moment* in
Life of Colonial Wife
Friend Christopher Marshall, burges*
of the City., of Brotherly Love, white
confiding that he himself wa* eually
fatigued by esertlon. was its eloquent
la his udmlrutlon for Ida faithful,
elderly spouse.
lie writes, "As I have In thla meinorundutn
taken scarcely any notice of
my wife's employments^ !^might appear
as If her engagement* were^very
trifling; the which Is not the case hut
the reverse. . . . She Is constantly
employed In the affair* ??f the family,
which calls for her constant attendance,
not only to provide, hut ulso to
attend at getting prepared In the
kitchen our bread, meat, pies, etc, . ,
Added to which her attendance is
demanded In the orchard, cutting and
drying" apples ... In the making of
elder without tools for the constant
drink of the family, her seeing all
our washing done and her flue clothes
and my shirts, the which are all
smoothed by hor; added to this her
making of 20 large cheeses, and that
from ono cowr*tW,al1rte*~^Vr 8t,wln8knitting,
etc.
"Thus she looketh well to the ways
of her household and eateth not the
bread of Idleness, yea, she also
stretcheth out her hand to her needy
friends and neighbors . . My dear
wife meets little respite all the day,
thflL proverb being verified, that
'Woman's work Is never done.'" With
becoming piety the memorandum concludes,
"For the constant asHldulty
and press of her dally and painful
labor In the kitchen, the Great Lord
of the Housohold will reward her In
due time."

Device That Records
Defects in Machinery
Patterned after the earthquake-detecting
seismograph, a miniature Instrument
has been developed to measure
the vibrations of heavy machinery
running at full speed. Thus flaws In
construction trie detected and remedied
before the piece leaves the factory.
The Instrument records vibrations
so slight that they can he measured
only In thousandths of an Inch. Popular
Science Monthly reports. In use, j
(lie case of the Instrument, containing
a hanging lead weight, Is bolted !
to the machine being tested, and vi "!
bratcs with it. The lead weight, be- j
cause of its inertia, tends to remain
stationary, liar magnets on the vibrating
case generate a minute electric
current as they move post colls on the'
stationary weight.
Tills current, recorded on a sensitive
meter, affords an accurate measure oX
the degree of vibration.
Explaining "Yankeei"
A Yankee is properly a New Englnnder
or one of New England stock. ,
By extension It meant, first, an Inhabitant
of the northern as distinguished
from the southern United States. It
now comprises nil United States citi
zens.
The story is that In 1713 one Jonathan
Hastings, a farmer of Cambridge.
Mass., used the word as a pulling
epithet, meaning genuine, or something
thut cannot be surpassed, as a "van
kee" good horse, or "yankee" good
cider, etc. Tiro students at Harvard,
catching up the term, called Hastings
"Yankee Jonathan." It soon spread,
and became the nickname of tire New
Knglander.?Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Bobby W? Second
A writer of note tells the case of
his five-year-old niece, who on her return
from a party, was asked by her
mother how she enjoyed tire festivities.
"Oh. the party was all right. I
guess." the little girl said, "but Bobby
wag no gentlemnn. He knocked me
down." '
"Well," from?her mother, who believes
in children fighting their own
battles in life. "Why didn't you knock
him down?"
"I already had," from the little girl,
meekly. ,
Saw Crocodile aa "Dragon"
A band of hc1mk>1 children visiting
the department where a greut whale
hangs overhead tn the London Natural
History museum, caught sight of sever*!
stuffed crocodiles on the floor and
at once cried out: "Oh. < >.> the
dragon ryrng there!" Nor could one
who knew tire traditional pictures of
St. George and the Dragon wonder at
the innocent utterance of their nler:
little minds. Fur there is something
very drauontan in the nppe.TPance of
these huge reptiles.

SWAP OF HUSBANDS,
WIVES IS SUCCESS
Families More Than Pleased
With Result.
Mlpot, N. l*.?Au unusual experiment
In eugenics In which two nelg ?boring
families IMhla county swapped
wives, husbands, children and homes
three years ago has proved so successful
in the three-year "try-out
that both women and their husbands
are more than pleased and satisfied
with tho result, while neighbors who
prophesied failure for the experiment
have agreed they were mistaken. Welfare
workers say It Is 0'? most unusual
ease In their experience, being
absolutely unique.
The Knights and the ltlkensrpds
are the families involved. Two husbands,
two wives, and seven children
ufero Included In tho mlxup and the
realignment which followed.
)Vhlle the Knights had live children
before the realignment, and the lUkensruds
but two, under the new arrangements
the Knights found themselves.
with but four children, while
the Kikensrudh had their family Increased
from two children to three.
Divorced and Wed Together.
The two families wore great friends
before the experiment was tried and
they remain Just us good friends today.
The children attended the same
school, the parents went to the same
church, and often the four parents
would pile Into the same automobile
and go to the same "movie" show.
They secured their divorces together
and had a double marriage the next
day. Then they ull came back to
their new homes.
Neither the Knights nor the Rlkensruds
were among tho "newly weds
when they decided to exchange families.
There, was no "sudden .Impulse."
The Knights had been married
17 years and the Rikensruds for
11 years when the readjustment was
undertaken.
Families Fast Friends.
The head of one family is William
Knight. Lawrence Rlkensrud heads
the other. The Knights were wfroin
Mlnnootn, Minn., originally, while, tho
Rikensruds were married at Ihittlneau,
N. I>.
In time, the two families found
themselves living on adjacent farms
near MinOt. Here' they were close
friends for several years, the children
growing up together and the parents
being about as intimate as the usual
farm families.
Four or live years ago a change
"was-gradually coming over the two
families;- Instead of husbands and
wives pairing off together when the
two families came to Minot on a double
shopping expedition, or to attend
n picture show, Kuight and Mrs. Rikensrud
often sat together, while Rlkensrud
und Mrs. Knight coupled scats
alongside the other icouple. Their
friends got to teasing all four. It
seemed a good joke.
Rut there was more to the affair
than Just a Joke. One day In March,
19120, both women tiled suits for divorce,
alleging cruelty. 1 he same
lawyer acted for both. The two husbands
were In the courtroom when
the decrees were handed down by the
Judge.
The following morning Rikensrud
married Mrs. Knight and Knight married
Mrs. Rikensrud, with a double
ceremony.
The honeymoons were spent together.
