FOR A 8AFB HOLIDAY BRA BON The Holiday Season is designed to bring joy and happiness?but it likewise brings with it a vust amount of preventable misery, because of the accident toll. The gravity of the problem is magnified by the fact that a large percentage of ilioliday accidents involve children. Hundreds of them are killed and thousands are needlessly injured every December. Here are a few rules, issued by 'the Nutional iSafety Council, to help pass a safe and 'happy Christmas Season: Don't permit children to play in the streets?the old practice of hitching sleds to automobiles is especially hazardous. Be extremely cautious in the matter of ice-skating?icfc must be at least four inches thick before it can be trusted to sustain a large group. Winter .brings special automobile hazards, such as ice and snow, poor visibility and soft highway shoulders. Remember them--and drive accordingly. Don't use candles on your Christmas Tree don't use inflamable trimmings -don't permit it to dry out in the house after Christmas don't fail to anchor it firmly?don't use light! buih- of greater strength than one I firefly candlepower. The-c little hints are simple enough -?there's nothing but common sense behind them. a?id they will cost nothing. in either time or money, to follow. And they may lie the means of saving the lives uf loved ones.?Industrial News Review. President Roosevelt will* be one of the speakers at the opening of the attorney generals' conference on crime in Washington on December 10, at which it is expected that the government and the states will make plans for a cooperative campaign against crime. Savings deposits in all United .states banks at the close of business June 3 totaled $21,867,666,000, an increase of $742,132,000 or 3.5 per cent, and the first increase since 1 IK)3 when the high mark was reached of $28,478,631,000. The number of savings depositors at the end of June was 30.562,174. WHY BUY CHRISTMAS HEAL87 The fundi* rained by the Male of Christnifth Seals are used to combat I the disease which claiiriM more liven , between the ages of 15 und 2d than other namely, Tuberculoids. i in Kershaw County there are approximately 100 active cane* of tuberculosis and since no case ever dovelop? unless contact is made with another case there are hooii to be expected many more. This diMea.se cpn be prevented and if found at an enfly stage may be cured. Therefore, who wtll fimj Uuj ,capen and contacts ^in order that the spread of the disealse - wiay 'be controlled even to a limited degree? Only some one who.can devote a great deal of time and effort toward that end may be relied upon for that work. It is the aim of the (!ttinmittee in charge to strive to sell sufficient number of seals and 'health bonds^a raise enough money to employ^' full time worker in this field. Wheri you realize the importance of this splendid work it makes you want to have 6 part in the worthy program and more willing to invest some of your morjiey in it. Truly it is worthwhile and anyone purchasing seals or bonds is aiding in a most humane cause which is on the minds and hearts of many public spirited individuals. 1 uberculosis is a public enemy which deforms young children, ruins the amibition of youth, saps the worker of his earning capacity, destroys life, and threatens all people so long us there is a single case in the community. Let every one buy Seals and Health bonds to insure some activity against this common enemy and have the satisfaction of being to that extent a benefactor. hard work~~^ We huve heard it a hundred times? maybe more; 'but frankly we have never believed it. "One cannot start from the beginning on a farm today and muke a go of it. It just can't bo done." Oh, yes, it can be done today just as it has been done in other years, and it can bo done perhaps easier now tliHn in the years agone. We believe that any young man, of good health and strength, intelligence and determination to work, plan, save and stay on the job can make good at farming today. \ Surely the young man of today has | advantages that father and grandfather never dreamed of. He can |ha\e belter farm tools and machines; He has the help of the agricultural extension bureaus of the state and national governments; he has better and bigger markets; he has better roads to get his stuff tm&rket;" "he has better stock in cows, pigs, chick*ons to use in his breedings?i-pverything is better for his use than his fathers had. The man of 40 years ago starting perhaps on rented lands workedj vftis wife worked and his children *Hvorkfed hard and long. The man who succeeds in any line today?who geta out jof the common herd, above the common run, must work?must work long and arduously; he must work intelligently and he must save. So it is with the farmer. As a matter of fact | he has as good a chance to succeed | on the farm today as he has ever had or as anybody has ever had. ^ W orking and saving is the way. Unless one is ready to pay that price, then thc-c will be no success, whether it he in farming, banking, law, merchandising, preaching, practicing in | niceK'ine, newspapering or what not. - I he ^ orkville Enquirer.

The crowd* around the relief shops preaent another acene. It look* contradictory, but there are ^really trouble* beneath the aurface. There aeema to be an unuaual scuffle for > mah'y to i make a Landing for <ri?other; year) latbor, often very shoddy, has rough aledding. A year ep(o, bbe old tenant# of an ext?n?ive plantation got potior* to leave. Succumbed to the maroh of machirtU^y pud the. depr'eiftioh/Th^ other dkjr v'tenant oh adether^ con? olderable .plantation was on the Jbuht for a new neat. Said all, except one, had ordera to leave. Amon?' theae waa old Carrie Friday. Her destination wan polumbia with Borne pt her numerous "children." She has been the moat famous midwife in the county. She has brought hundreds of babiea, of her prolific race, into the world. From most of these homes she got a mere pitance, and from a heavy per centage, nothing. She haa I a kind heart, and her place will be hard to fill. Everybody, white* or black, wishes old Carrie a pleasant? | evening of life. She is already old, but vigorous. There is another complication. A white tenant, far above the average, says he investigated 12 offers for , a new roosting pole. Some of the dwellings are bad, and the'Outbuildings much worse, with many despoiled of what could be safely purloined and used for fuel. Too lazy to prepare for the cold. Not . one agreed to extruct any cash for repairs. In the meantime marrying* proceed in full blast, with large families to support, mostly on moorfshine and Bankhead cotton restrictions. Believe it or not, there is not only poverty, but a gloomy outlook in much of the underworld.?Calhoun Times. SAFETY FIRST Comptroller General Bcattie tells the public that the state government is out of the red at last. If so, It tis the first time in years. It means, of course, that there will be a desperate effort to drag the Sofons into all manner of extravagance in appropriations. Gov. Johnston says he will veto any raise in the appropriation bill. This may or may not work. There have been times when it didn't. This is an age of fast living. It requires grit to stem the tide. It extravasatos in every direction. There is no hesitancy, in all too large a percentage, to pay little attention to debt. The doctrine of living Within legitimate revenues'^is largely obsoleteT^in 'government atrd among-.individuals. We see these many thousands of brand new automobiles and believe we are properous.^_.It is tremendously camouflaged. Many a tree looks jjoo<U on the outside, but found hollow within. Believe it or not, there is mueto poverty, and considerable suffering'. Rainy days are ahead. Watch that prediction. In a long semi-business experience we have never known so many hunting homes for ^-another year. Economy and work are a% highly essential today as ever. We stress this because of the howl for economy in legislative halls, while ignoring it at home. It is needed eV' erywhere. We should take stock and see that our own skirts are clear hefore going on the warpath against public officials. They are human just as the rest of us. At the same time, our leaders should set the example. It was pathetic to see our representatives pacing to New York to sell bonds which could hardly he gi\en away. Agents tell us that many are still in default. The coming Solons will display wise foresight and good business sense by holding the reins securely over the wild steeds that must he managed. Otherwise, we will soon land in the bog again.?Calhoun Times. " George ('"Baby Face") Nelson has gone the route of Dillinger, Barrow, Van Meter, and others, and now John Hamilton has succeeded to the title, Public Enemy, No. 1, and is about the only real top-notcher left among the had men of the country. The Federal Government, aided and as^ sisted by State, county, city and private officers, has staged a drive against lawlessness that has been accompanied by most satisfactory results, ami if maintained, should effect a startling drop in crime in this country.?Chester Reporter.

Addison of the Douglast community while out shooting last week killed a Canada Goose and on examining same found an aluminum bag on one leg with the following words on it "Write Jack Miner, Kingsville, Ontario, -Canada." Jack Miner was communicated with at once and it was learned that he was I the owner of The Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary at -Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, and tags all the ducks, geese and other small migratory birds that visit his bird sanctuary, to study their routes of migration and also 'how long they live. Furthermore, it gives J>ack Miner full information as to the States and Provinces killing the greater number of birds; how long they stay in the United States and I how long they remain in Canada. A41 records are given to the Canadian Government for safe keeping to for educatioifcil purposes in the t [schools, colleges and universities of [ the country. *3??I ?? ?- ui,?, All tags placed on dpfike and geeso have printed on one aide a verse of** Scripture?Jack Miner's unique way j of spreading the Gospel. He is by r\o means a religious fanatic, but is | a strong believer in God's Word, and uses the fowls of the air to spread such select verses of Scripture us "Have faith in God," "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly," and many other similar promises. Jack Miner says, "It has been the means of many a Bible being opened by men who had scarcely ever read the Scriptures. Even in many prisons, prisoners had read in daily papers of such birds being killed and that they carried a verse of Scripture. This caused the prisoner to turn his face toward God and repent. Jack Miner is a poor man financially and will die a poor man because he is not only giving his whole time to study of bird life but is and has given every cent of money he possesses to feed and care for the feathered creatures which spend their summer and raise their young in Canada, and winter in the United States.?Lancaster News.
