Attorney-general, state insurance commissioner, and adjutant-general, are all. as we remember, from the up country. The Attorney-general's brother was recently turned Into the clover patch.

Tossing accident in South Carolina l>> which nine lives were snuffed out. Grade crossing accidents with loss of life or serious injuries are very common in this country. The national administration is spending money at a turious rate, as if the supply were as inexhaustible as the waters of the se\en seas. It is being poured out upon many frivolous projects, expenditures which cannot be justified unless mere spending he a virtue. Upon such nonsensical projects hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars have been expended by an administration which professes Itself unable to lind the money with which the country could settle its debt to veterans of the World War Half of the money which has been spent and is being spent upon utterly frivolous projects would have sufficed to have abolished every grade crossing in this country. Hut that is too sensible a project to commend itself to the brain trust - -Greenville Observer About 1.000 transient ex service men have been shipped from all over the count r\ to South Carolina, with as many more going to Florida. They! work on projects near Charleston and are paid CCC camp wages. They are treated as relief cases and hgve no connection with the veterans bureau, simply being separated from civilian relief.
