D2.D0. payable in adv.ut*. ***'" Friday, April 14, IMS THK HOMK^TOWN NEWSPAPER The country paper is ?t?U the favorite paper with the women in the Big City, according to the questioivnaire that has been answered by col-; lege women, members of the Banhellenic Association, at the TanheHervic Hotel in New York City of twentyone natoinal fraternities. The questionnaire showed that the novelists are right when they call New York City a big place where the small town people meet. Members of the Panhellenic Association were asked a number of questions about their favorite papers, their favorite] ivowa topics, and their favorite IWWS j writers. After giving their answers to these queries they remarked that their favorite paper was still their home town one, ... One woman anxwerod: "I read every item in the paper the family sends me because it gives mo news about all the neighbors that my ?nm*| ily never write me about. My family's weekly letter tells me the news about themselves and that a about all. Tho paper gives mo all the facts about the friends I have known since I was knee-high." Another successful woman in New York City wrote: "After nil, the news we care the most about is the news about the people that mean the most to us, and they are at home." I.KT HOARDERS BEWARE More than $<>00,000,000 in gold and gold < ei tiftcates nave been returned to the banks since President Roosevelt issued his ukase against, hoarding. bui Wa b rgb n d:--patches say that. go.M certificates to tho amount of SI ..'toti.000,000 are outstanding and the government has fixed May 1 as the la-t day f<?r the return of this money. Those who hold gold or gold certificates after that date, except in amounts of $100 or less ami for purposes otherwise specified, will be subject to a fine of $10,000 or 10 year's imprisonment, or both. Hoarding is going to bo mighty unpopular in these United -States and he who tries to beat the government is likely to run into a nest of troubles. Ten years in the ,pon is a big price to : pay for not having confidence in one's] government and net being willing to j exchange one form of currency for another.?Spartanburg Herald. Furman university and Greenville Woman's college will be combined at tho end of tho present college year, the two year coordination program being completed. President W. H. Provence, of G. W. C. will leave, President McGiothlin of Furman, continuing to head the college. The reason for the combination are financial. "No good college," l>r. Provence said, "can successfully operate and maintain proper standards without ade*p?Hte endowment ami prospects of securing such endowment for G. W. C. were never bright." The lower valley of the Mississippi from Vicksburg to New Orleans, is preparing for 'much trouble due to high waters in the Father of Waters. Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, April 1LI.- The union atation in this city i? on one side or ? broad plaza facing1 the capitol building. It i? considered the ftneet railroad station In the world, and i? one of the largest, being 760 feet in . length and MS feet wide. H was built with a view of the expansion of railway travel, before the buaeea had cut ?o extensively into the business. It is now seldom taxed to anything approaching its capacity, and is beginning to assume tho appearance of departed glory. It seems rather strange that Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, should be followed in tho presidency, a period of twenty-four years elapsing, by another Roosevelt who is a Democrat. : Many of the name have been prominent in politics, and mostly Democrats. In the year 1904 When "Teddy" was running, an uncle of his, Robert B. Roosevelt, was asked to serve on tho Democratic electoral ticket. The request seemed to be in ]*ul taste, and tho uncle declined, saying that he would support the ticket, tbut did not fw>l disposed to oppose officially his politically wayward nephew. A similar instance, also in bad taste, oecurrod last year when the Republicans endeavored to persuade Mrs. Uorinn? Roosevelt Robinson to serve on their electoral ticket. She recently died, ami was a sister of Theodore. She declined also because of kinship, on both sides, being distantly related to Franklin D. 1 Roosevelt, and saying that the wife ' of the Democratic candidate was her ywn beloved niece. President Roosevelt drew largely upon the membership of the United , States senate in making his cabinet., The lamented Senator Walsh of Mon- j tana, who had been named attorney ( .'< ndied however before assuming his new post. As secretary of, j the navay Senator Claude A. Swan-. son was named, and a better selec- j jtion could hardly have been made, j | lie has been in public life for forty j years, serving in the national house i of representatives, as governor of Virginia, and in the senate, always ranking high as a statesman. DurI ing recent Ropxlblioan control he was the leading Democrat on the senate 'committee on naval affairs, and consequervtly is well qualified to discharge his new duties. He has given indications of favoring a-strong navy, so essential for protection against attack from the sea in case of the possibility of another war, while our country may rest with some assurance in view of the great difficulty of invasion by land. There is a proposition before congress which seems likely to be enacted into law in some shape, to reduce the period of labor in factories to thirty-six or to thirty hours a week, and.to extend over perhaps only five days. Its accomplishment could be brought about by prohibiting transportation in interstate commerce of any goosd made in a factory where an individual was permitted to work longer than the specified number of hours or days. Action is being withheld pending an expression of the views of President Roosevelt. There could be no ban upon the number of hours a day or a week during which a factory might be kept running, but only upon the work hours of the individual employees, the intention being to cause a spread of work among many more people, and thus relieve unemployment to a great extent, especially in the large cities. It would not concern tho farmer or any class except those employed in factories whose products might cross state boundaries. While the constitution- j aiity <rf such a measure may be brought into question, the fact re- j mains that the constitution of the; United States gives congress juris- . diction over interstate commerce. The mayor off* Detroit, Frank Mur-J phy, has been named for the impor-' tant position of governor-general of the Philippine Islands, iind in at, lea>t or.e re?;>e t lie will be acceptable. as he i., a Catholic. With the ,.x,iort of a compa-atively few Mah-.mitar.s m ->ne section the Filipinos are preponderantly Catholic Christian-:. ProbabA what militated largely against forme- Congressman Hare _ of S??uth Carolina, who had been favorably mentioned for the place, was that Mr. Stevenson, also a former! congressman, had been appointed to a very responsible position, and in addition former Congressman Domi-1 nick has been urged for a Federal juvlgsblp. So it was Ux> much U> expect in the circumstances. Tho loss of tho navy dirigible Akron. causing more than seventy j deaths, will doubtless spell the doom J of further experimenting along that; line. This big balloon was the second I belonging to the navy that went to' destruction in a fall, and the belief t is becoming general that such craft j cannot bo depon !c;l upon for pa. ical purposes. Most other loading nations have uhjmAcned their use after, similar tragedies. Admiral Moffolt. Family Will Make Bank Deposits Good Greeiwboro, N. C., April 7. Tb* people who trusts!

"As a tribute to his memory, the members of the family of Caesai tone have decided to see that all do-. positors in Textile Bank and its successor, the Textile branch of the North Carolina Bank and Trust com- | pany. shall receive full payment of the balances to which they are entitled." . Death of I)r. Hayes Friends in Camden and elsewhere sympathize with Mrs. J. G. Richards, Jr., in tho death of her father, Dr. I. R. Hayes, which occurred at his home in Kershaw Monday afternoon. He was 74 years of age. Dr. Hayes was a native of Gulf. N. C? and came to Kershaw about 40 years ago and established the firm of, Hayes and Gregory, druggists. He ( is survived by his widow and four j children: Mrs. J. G. Richards. Jr., of] Camden; Miss Mary Hayes, of Whit-, mire; Robert Hayes of Chattanooga ( and William Hayes, of Kershaw. He] was a beloved citizen of Kershaw, held in the highest esteem. i His funeral was held at Kershaw Tuesday afternoon and many f|*on) Camden attended. Judge E. I>.

Beer sales in North Carolina are now legalized for the first time since lt>08, the general assembly having on Tuesday last given, its approval to; the sale of the stuff-from and after M*y I- .. . Persecutions of t)he Jews continued throughout Germany on Monday and Tuesday, with many being arrested j on orie charge and another. American officials in Berlin weire enraged over an allegation by the "Pangerman Press Service," edited Iby two Nazis, that an "atrocity lie factory has.been set up in the American consulate general." The service claims that the American consulate, like the Polish, collects accusations of eastern Jews against Nazis. George S. Messersmith, United States consul general, said: "We strongly resent these unwarranted implications and will by proper representations insist on immediate stoppage." The state's district attorney of Chicago, has ordered brewers of that city, not to have any dealings with racketeers in the handling of beer, and threatens to have the license of any brewer doinga such business canceled. Soft drink stand proprietors have reported that they have had warnings from the racketeers to the effect: "You'll take our product or get a pineapple. (A pineapple is a bomb in the underworld vernacular.) General Johnson Ha good, U. S. A., in an address at Kansas City, Mo., expressed the hope that President Roosevelt would s)aa(h away the redtape of the army and get rid of all overlapping bureaus. He termed the army as "top heavy and extravagant." "K needs close trimming to make it fit the pocketbook of the man without a job. I-t takes three hundred million dollars to run the army under its present organization. He can trot a better organization for loss." r. G. Wye he. of Spartanburg the former law partner of Senator J:ni-, mie Byrnes, will be the new United j States district attorney, and Reuben j Gosnell. of Greenville. a staunch ^ henchman, of Senator Smith f<>r a^ quarter of a century, will be the r.ew , United States marshal of th i - district. Tho two senators have settled those appointments, hut have nia'ie no selection for interna! revenue collector to succeed I ictor Q. Hambright who has resigned effective April 15." A dark horse not mentioned hitherto, may get that desirable place, u> solve the trouble the senators are having to pick one of the SO applicant* for the job. Among these are Mrs. L. P. Jennings, former governor Hoyward and Col. Wylie Jones of Columbia, and Robert A. Cooper, of ysacky. who was a South Carolinian, was among those that lost their lives.

Millions in Closed Banks To Be I4 reed Washington, April 8.?A program lo free millions of dollars of frozen deposits in- thousands of unopened state banks assumed definite proportions tonight following closely upon Secretary Woodin's announcement of the appointment of Walter J. Cum-j mings of Chicago, as his executi\e, as;.i.-.tant to have direct charge of this work. The treasury chieftain disclosed he I had already worker! out a concrete | plan, subject to local variations. He i was confident it would restore to solvency the majority of the state institutions, but said that premature announcement of its details would serve no useful purpose. It is this plan that Cummings will administer. Fulfillment of Woodin's prophecy would mean that many thousands of state institutions again would be in a position to participate in America's business functions. No definite figures are obtainable at the treasury, however, as to the exact number, nor the amount of deposits involved. However, at the end of March, 5,387 national and state member banks of the Federal Reserve system had reopened their doors, restoring a deposit line of about twenty-six billion dollars. In addition, 7,350 nonmember state institutions had likewise reopened on a 100 .per cent basis, but the amount of deposits was not given. The latest statement of conditions for all banks in this country indicated a total of slightly more than 18,000 institutions of all classes, with deposits of approximately forty billion dollars. In the absence of details, it is believed here that many of the distressed state banks will be opened on a full time basis through aid furnished by the Reconstruction Finance corporation under the provisions of the emergency banking act. This aid has taken the form of having the corporation match dollar for dollar in private subscriptions for new and preferred capital stock. Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owens, of Florida, has been appointed by President Roosevelt as American minister to Denmark. -* ?~ Pastor Kills Himself. Macon, Ga., April 9.?Dr. Carl Gregory, pastor of the Mulberry Street Methodist church here died tonight of a bullet wound that police said was self-inflicted. Dr. Gregory, who had held pastorates in Dallas and San Antonio, Tex., came to Macon from the latter city in January. Knew Her Geography He mot the sweet young thing at a dance at one of our country clubs. As they whirled around the dance floor she asked, "What part of the country are you from?" He told her he hailed from iSouth Dakota, hut she appeared incredulous. "Don't kid me," she told him, "You don't talk a bit like a Southerner!"? Cleveland Plain Dealer. President Roosevelt's huge public works bill was outlined Tuesday by Chairman Vinson of the house naval committee, as including the building pf 30 new warships at a cost of $230,000,000. Even with that addition the United States would ^till be under Japan, Great Britain, France and Ttaly in actual combatant ships except battleships.
