Monroe Enquirer. TRADING AT IIOMK A contributor write# an article to the Kdgcficld Advertiser on the sub- ( jtot of trading with home merchant#. i It contains a lot of g?*?d logic. Of I oourwe, -people ought to trade at home, j Kverybody knows it, hut what are I we going to ?!<> ahout it? Folk should have realized years ago that when they promoted a system of paved roads, they were driving S nails ifrto the coffins of small town merchants. Wo are not arguing for Hand and mud roads; far from it. We are )ust stating a fact. The same people who used to 'be content to ride a few miles to Bamberg to do their trading, may now travel to Orangeburg with jxniliaps 'more ease ami less expen.se. Peojde like to go to the larger towns and cities. Scores* of people right here in the city limits of Bamberg make it a regular practice to go to Augusta, Columbia, Charleston, or Orangeburg tx> buy even one pair of,.shoos. It is a aad commentary, but it is true. We can't blame the city merchants for inviting the trade. Bamberg merchants -would do the same, any other merchant would do it. I is tho change of conditions. Probably nothing can be done about i'.. If local merchants had the capital thoy could put in large stock*' of goods and go into merchandising on a big scale. This would help to hold the trade, but few of them could possibly do this. We are living under different conditions now than ever before. Business people must study the situation;! take an inventory of their field; as-1 certain the particular and peculiar wants and needs of -their customers,! and lend a personal touch to their I business. Tho city stores carry big i stocks, but after all, they are not in close personal contact with people miles away. A local store,' we should think, can become so personal that it will not only rotain its business, but invite new business. But it is a big problem?no doubt about that. And if small town merchants advertised as city stores do, it would help tremendously to keep a profitable business going. But they don't see it tbat way.?The Bamberg Herald. (OMMI NITY SUICIDE One of the strangest phenomena witnessed ?'? most towns and small cities is the apparent eagerness with which many otherwise good citizens eon tribute to the tendency to commit community suicide. These citizens will often show uncommon zeal in boosting any movement to obtain city improvements, to pioniote lhe location of new industries, to secure better educational fa< il'ties. and so. <>n. Yet many of these same proud boosters will deliberately engage in a practice which nullifies all their otherwise laudable I efforts?ami wonder why' their town doesn't go ahead. We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away frorm hime. The enormous growth of the mail order habit in recent years is Largely rosposible for the failure of many communities to make the progress which their natural advantages should make possible. The money that ought to be kept at home for the expansion of local trade and industry is sent away to distant cities, never to return. The life-blood of prosperity is allowed to ebb away through the indifference or thoughtlessness of the very persons who should set an example of local pride ami loyalty. A trifle saving here ami there, usually more imaginary than real, is sufficient to cause the average citizen to forget his duty to his corn-muni i\ ami to himself, which if performed would mean far more in the direction of local prosperity than all I hm. other boosting efforts put t<>get her. i W hy b<>o>t m one direction, while (Committing suicide in another.?The I l o.'v.-t ( sty (N. t'.,i Courier.

The royf of the house was blown off and porches demolished^ The house was partly lifted from its pillars, furniture an<l dishes were broken; the barn and I smoke house were also in line of the storm and pieces of meat from the smoke house were found strewn about I the fields. None of the family was injured, and, it seems, no damage wa|done elsewhere. Members of the family say -the storm came with comparatively little warning and so swift they had no time to become alarmed until it was over with. The April meeting of the Bethune chapter U. D. C. was held Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. D. T. Yarborough and Mrs. Margaret Marion joint hostesses. The president, Miss Eloise Miller, presided.

In a hearing in 1 Was Kington Tuesday, Cason, J. Gal la- J way. president of the Callaway Mills < of Georgia and one of the biggest- i hearted textile exocut.ies in this coun 1 try, testified that his mills had on I hand manufactured product aggro- 1 gating eight million pounds, or smf- 1 fioient to supply for three months 1 any probable demand on his mill for s good.* if not another pound of cot- < ton were spun into yarn or woven into cloth. Of course, in such a situa- 1 tion, the business-like procedure ' w??uid be to shut down. i At 1.2 cents a pound, the process- t it>g tax paid on those goods stored < in the Callaway warehouses amounts i to $2.Hi,000. He said he was niak- i it>g desperate efforts to keep his mills < running, so as to keep from his opo- i rativea the hardship of being unem- i ployed. Ho adde<l: t "For the past four or five years, i 1 have used all the time ami energy * I have in selling goods. I would not < work that hard just for money on my job in life." He does not have to work that hard. He could close his mills and Live comfortably the balance of his days, but he feels a sense of obligation t)o those employed in the mills his father established ami which he now controls. That sense of obligation makes him put forth efforts for which there could be no adequate monetary compensation. His compensation comes from a feeling of satisfaction in continuing work for those who look to work in his mills to feed] and clothe themselves and to educate their children. Now contrast that attitude with that of Francis J. Gorman, who threatens a strike, at a time when the best manage*! nulls are hardly able to keep going. No wonder many executives of mills ask, "What's t.he use?" and feel that about the easiest way to settle the whole difficulty is to let the strike come and close town every mill. But they know the suffering such an outcome -will cattail and they are working night and day to avert that suffering from their employes by keeping mills running.?

If you aire profaning your soul away with cursing and swearing, quit it. It is perfectly wonderful how usele.se piofanity is to any and everybody. If you lire smoking yourself to death, quit it. Suicide is a sin, whether slow or swift. If you are slandering your character threadbare, quit it. No slanderer can be fine and big. If you are worrying yourself to death, quit it.
