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."

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.

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.

"Caesar Cono organized the Textile

members of the Cono family, uHe did
so in order to encourage his employees
to save part of their earnings
ami to provide a safe place where
they could deposit their savings.
"As a tribute to his memory, the

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>. Blakency.
of thl. city, served among a long
list of others as an honorary pall-J
.bearer.
Beer sales in North Carolina are

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.

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.
