SIGNS FOR Till? BETTER
The 'Chronicle received from a
neighbor town this week an advertising
order from a livery concern announcing
mules for sale. The advertiaement
called for the picture of a
mule. It has been so long since such
an ad has appeared in this paper that
all of our cuts of mules have been
misplaced or lost. Wo had to call
on a neighbor paper for the loan of
a cut. In this connection the following
from the Spartanburg Herald will
be read with interest:
"Atlanta, which for many years has
been one of the biggest mule markets
in the world, announces a revival of
the business which has been on t.he
decline in recent years. A dispatch
from Atlanta says the buying ot
mules has increased 1000 per cent in
the last year and that 200 mules now
?r? being shipped every day to points
in Georgia, Alabama and the t'aro
.
linuH.
"This remarkable increase in the
buying of mules indicates that farmers
in the four states mentioned are
financially able to imprcHCb t.he quality
of their farm work animals. Evidently
that was not the case in the
four years before 19112. One must
consider this buying of mules a sign
of better agricultural conditions the
farmers are enjoying since the new
administration took charge in Washington.
It may also be taken as a
sign that the South is not prepared
to join in the foolish farm holiday
movement that threatens t& interfere
with the program of 'Witt administration."
Officials Thank The Public
The undersigned officials of the
Kershaw County Fair desire to express
their keen appreciation to all
of those throughout Kershaw County
who so generously cooperated in
making the fair a success. The enterprise
would have failed haul it not
been for the fine spirit of cooperation
manifested, not only by the people
of Camden, but by people in every
section of Kershaw County. '1 he
folks all over the county realize and
know that the fail' belongs to all the

hearted desire to make it what it
was resulted in giving to the people

Killed Hunting Alone
Hartsvillo, Oct. 1#.?-Paui Morrcll,
13, of the Antioch section, accidentally
shot and killed himself while hunting
alone Tuesday afternoon.
He left home at 1 o'clock Tuesday
and when he failed to return Tuesday
night, the family instituted a search
for him. When found at 1 av m.
Wednesday morning, he was lying
face down in a patch of vine.-, having
died "thstantly. it is supposed. >
From a report of the matter, it is
indicated the boy was dragging his

Capital Observations
S ,, ' '
Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.?Thia
city is showing aome signs of increasing
business activity, but aelsewhere
the progress is slow. Improvtxl^
conditions have been mostly arnong
the laboring classes, on account
of extensive building activities
on the part of the Federal government.
Washington lias never felt the
[effects of tho depression as badly as
many other places because ol the
large amount of money put into ciri
culation when paid to government
employes, between sixty-five and sov?
tnty thousand, varying in number according
to circumstances at different
times. They are paid twice a month,
("ami receive in the neighborhood of
; $5,000,000 on each pay day. That
iinh.unt in a city of half a million
population is calculated to stimulate
cash business transactions.
It iit a strange and unfortunate
fact that many high minded and honorable
people andtft. considerable proportion
of the press resort to miss
1 ending and fallacious arguments concerning
public questions, particularly
prohibition. The following item appeared
in a recent issue of a reputable
South Carolina paper:
MIf the Christian women? the
mothers, wives and sisters?who know
the evils of legalized liquor sales,
will vote their convictions, then South
Carolina will remain in the dry column
after November 7th."
As a matter of fact South Carolina
will remain "in the dry column"
after November 7, regardless of the
result of the vote in the state on that
date on the proposed ropeal of the
eighteenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States. The repeal
amendment specifically provides
against the importation of liquor into
dry territory and tn addition to national
prohibition in Wftee until repealed,
South Carolina is dry by
state legislative enactment, and will
remain so until and unless changed
by state law. One can \yith entire
consistency favor state prohibition
and vote for the repeal of the national
prohibition amendment, which has
proven unsatisfactory ami ineffective,
according to the verdict of tho voters
in every stute that has so far passed
on the question.
* * * *
The government of South Carolina,
has been referred to as one "by legislative
delegations," and to a considerable
extent it is correct. A current
instance is the provision that the legislative
delegations in the various
counties should select or approve the
candidates on both sides of the question
of national prohibition repeal to
he voted on at the election on November
7. .Just what justification for
the practice there may be is not upapparent,
and it has grown up within
tho past few years. The people do
not have any voice in the matter, and
the practice has been tolerated prob- j
ably simply because it has not been
made an issue at elections.
* ?
Kver since the establishment of the
communistic soviet government in
Russia sixteen years ago there hap
been no diplomatic relations between
that country and the United Slates.
President Roosevelt lias now invited
the Russian government to send a
representative to Washington To discuss
with him personally "all quos*-tbms
outstanding" between that government
and ours, and the invitation
has been accepted. This preliminary
step does not necessarily mean that
there will be an exchange of resident
ambassadors, but it is obvious that
the recognition of the soviet republic
is in view, and if such should be the
result there will be no implication of
approval. On the contrary it will
doubtless be provided that there will
bo no spreading in this country of
communistic propaganda, such as has
given trouble in other countries.
However, a salient, feature will be
bow to prevent activity of the kind.
Recent clamor in this country and
the growing disposition for recognitor
i- based largely upon the trade
id . :\'.'ages w n.ch are said to !*' at
til,- !.-po-a! cf Amer.can idu-lry andj
agi :> ui' us e when relation- are estab1
i -he i. The fact that the Russian J
g < r.r.n at a- now e-'tabll-hed l.ab,
el, in e\:-tence for sixteen years,
would -rein to settle the score of stability.
Some of the rc\ol at ionai v
governments set up in South America
do not always last over night. The
president is at an advantage in the
situation, as recognition and diplomatic
relations are solely within the
province of the executive side of tho
government. However, there is hardly
any doubt thut congress would approve.

URGES TEMPERANCE
^ ~ *ff-T" ' ">
To the Editor of the Chronicle:
November the 7th is rapidly ap- !
proaching and upor^ this day the 1
We are to determine by our votes '
that day whether or not we will sur
render our county and s^e to the
people of South Carolina are to face 1
a grave responsibility,
liquor interests.
We are to determine whether or
not we will put our stamp of personal
approval upon the sale of intoxicating
liquors with .the evils that we '
know are sure to follow.
It is true that our prohibition laws
are not proporly enforced, nor jire
they properly observed; but no fair
man will deny that conditions have
been greatly improved since the adoption
of the 18th Amendment and that
there is Jess liquor consumed.and less
drunkenness than under the bar-room
or dispensary systems.
While this question has its political
phases, it is chiefly a moral question
and the individual responsibility to
our fellowman and to God cannot be
evaded or escaped.
Although conditions are bad today,
those of us who voted for prohibition
and have observed the law are in.no
way responsible. 'But if we place the
stamp of approval* upon the effort tQ
legalize the sale of intoxicating liquors
and the effort succeeds, then
wo share the responsibility for every
evil that follows and we cannot wash
our hands and escape that responsibility.
Those who favor the legal
salo use as one of their chief arguments
the necessity for the revenipj
to assist in the support of the government.
In ans*w$f to that let me say that
all revenue derived from the sale ot
intoxicating liquors, a traffic in souls,
is blood money, no matter whether
derive^ by the nation, the state or
the individual.
The 18th amendment and our prohibition
laws have wiped the stamp
of respectability from the liquor traffic
and have driven the distiller into
the swamp* and the bootlegger to
cover.
A vote for the repeal of these laws
is a vote to make respectable the
liquor traffic and place the dealers
ip the stuff in prominent places in
our towns and cities and in competition
with legitimate business.
Gladstone, the great English Statesman,
is on record as having said t;,ai
intoxicating liquors have caused more
suffering to the human race than all
wars and pestilences combined.
Certainly, Mr. Editor, intoxicating
liquor is the greatest curse to the
church, the home and to the individual
that is known to man.
Shall we on November 7th surrender.
to this man's greatest enemy or
shall we stand for righteousness and
fight and to the end upon the side of
God and for humanity?
? Respectfully,
John G. Richards.
STILL ABOUT THE SAME
There were murmurs of protest
among the Israelites when Moses inI
troduced his code of fair practice
| which has become commonly known
as the Ten Commandments, but the
Hebrews signed up with their tongue
in their cheek and set about to devise
ways and means to beat the
game. Thirty-five hundred years
have passed with the net result that
we still have other-gods before us;
we take the name of the Lord in vain;
we do not keep the Sabbath holy; we
commit adultery; we steal, we bear
false witness; and not a few of us
covet our neighbor's wife. So-o-o,
as a certain radio * comedian says:
why should we be discouraged if
President Roosevelt's codes do not immediately
cure all the ills of an overbilious
social order. The codes of
Moses and Roosevelt are more or less
gentlemen's agreements, but the heck
of it is that so few of us are gentlemen.?Gnffney

Roy Builder
Of the 1,055 youths admitted t.? the
state reformatory in Hutchinson,
Kan., in two years not one was or had j
been a Roy Scout. Records quite or j
nearly as good are reported from
every reformatory or correctional in- j
.-vf.iti?-n for youth. That is a fact
?v> remember whenever an opportunity
present- .i.-eL" to aid this I >ys'
organ ./.at ion.
armament conference. The German
government seems to be content with
isolation which will he brought about,
and with the disapproval of nearly
all of the rest of the world. It would
seem that the nation fails to realize,
or refuses to admit entire military
defeat, and possibly harbors th^
thought of regaining prominence
through military means. At the close
of the Franco-Prussian war in 1871
the victorious army marched into
Paris and there dictated terms of
peace to prostrate France. At the
close of the late war many authorities
thought it best to enter Berlin
ami there enforce the terms of the
allies, but the world was weary of
carnage and fighting, and the Germans
were not sufficiently forcefully 1
made aware of their crushing and 1
overwhelming defeat.
SALUTING A SOUTHERNER
We rejoice when the South has oc asion
to be proud of a son. We
would prefer him to be an outstanding
reformer of morals and methods
Dr a statesman-leader, but in these
years *o lean in such products we
are grateful for an opportunity to
acclaim a professional baseball player
and to claim him for the South.
And so do wo acclaim "Memphis
Bill" Terry, manager of the Giants,
which recently attained M world
fame. But we are proud of "Memphis
Bill" (he, his wife and child are
on their way home to the town on tho
banks of the Mississippi) not because
he managed the team that won the
world's championship; not because he
is a star in his profession, but because
his character and personality
have elevated his profession.
The other day in Now York Charlie
Stoneham, owner of the Giants, and
Terry had a conference and agroed to
tear up the contract which had another
year to run. Then they signed
a new one for five years, during which
Terry, ras player-njanager will have a
salary of $40,00Q a year.
That is incidental. What tyft are
proud of is that "Memphis Bill,"
greeted by the president of the United
States, welcomed at the City Hall in
New York by the mayor, and acclaimed
as onlg a hero in the field of sports
or adventure can be acclaimed in this
country, maintained a perfect poise,
and passed through all the ordeals
of victory like a gentleman.
"Big money" offers flowed in to him.
One was to appear in vaudeville for
$5,000 a week. Terry turned it down.
"I'm not an actor," he said, "I'm a
ball player. My stage is the ball field.
It's not worth $5,000 a week to me to
make a fool of myself."
How ntany, perhaps with higher
"background." than Bill Terry, would
sell themselves for half? And what
a world of misgovernment and general
inefficiency would be prevented
if those who contemplated offering
for important public office, where
only men of ability, mental training
and educated fpreefulness can achieve
success, would take honest stock of
themselves as did Terry when offered
$5,000 a week to exhibit himself on
the stage in the role of an actor!
Incompetents rush in where men ,of
ability hesitate?and the people suffer.
But let us turn again to the highly,
pleasing character of Memphis Bill,
and lift our hats in appreciation-.?
