In the garl) of an Faster bun-;
i? y wlio canceled unpaid accounts
totaling $*?0,000.
Dr. M. M. Hursh, CohasHett's only
physician, explained his generosity:
"I want to give some of these people
who have been caught in the depression
a break, and cancellation of
their debts, T hope, will bring them
some happiness Jit Faster time."
About 200 persons whose accounts
range from $:' to $f>u0 will benefit from
this action, the country doctor revealed.
A janitor, giving an abandoned factory
at Cambridge, Mass.. a cleaning,
poked his broom handle behind a radiator
and out fell a roll of hills.

is believed the money recovered was
a part of the reported hidden wealth
of the late Adolnh Sonvmer, noted
chemist jind owner of the. building,
who was shot and killed by robbers
on October 20, 1033.
Seven bandits held tip a passenger
train at Nutley, N. .1.. Friday after

only got away with $058.lift from the

to reap a larger haul.
House Adopts
Conference Report
On yesterday t h ? South Carolina
house of representatives udopt?d the
free conference report on the HlattPoag
Johnson highway reorganization
hill This hill. fi%inod and Introduced
by Representatives Sol lllatt, of liarnwell,
J. I). Poag. of Greenville, and
Murdoch M. Johnson, ' of Kershaw
county, provides for the reorganlzo!
tIon of tl^p highway department with
ih?> election of fourteen commission*
era, one front each judicial circuit,
they to he elected by the legislative
delegations from the counties comprising
the different circi^its. The
bill alao provides for rotation In office
between the counties of the circuits,
thus insuring each county representation
on the commission. HoprcHufytpUve
Johnson stated today that
th'ftfW'Tne only method by which Kershaw
county can gfct representation
on the highway commission. Ho stated
that it wuh Impossible to get a
hill through the general assembly providing
for the election of the commissioners
by a popular vote and that
If the six member plan had been enacted
Into law Kershaw f-ounty would
never have the highway commissioner,
as the thicker populated counties
of York, Chester and Cherokee would
control. Representative Johnson has
boon fighting for some plan whereby
Kershaw county could get representation
on the highway commission
ever since he went to the legislature,
and It Is Hoped the governor will sign
the measure.
The governor and the state senate
are so far apart that tt is wholly impossible
to got a hill through the
senate that would he satisfactory to
the governor. It was a difficult Job
to get the; Blatt-Poag-Johnson bill by.
The senate amended the hill to provide
that It should not become effective
until the terms of office of all
the present commissioners should expire.
Mr. Jot&son and the other coj
authors of the bill bitterly opposed
I that amendment and the house rofus$
led to accept It, which caused the bill
i to go into free conference and the
conferees struck out the amendment.
Representative Johnson frankly adjinits
that It is a compromise tneasj
lire In an attempt to get something
.that both tin* senate urnl the governor
would accept, but he states that hd
| has refused to compromise on Hie proposition
of rotation. If the bill is
' i-na< t?-'M into law Kershaw county will
have a commissioner half of the lime
land lihhland county half of the* time,
; as this judi? ial circuit is composed of
t lies,- two counties only.

How Many Familiar
Words Originated
Won! hunting has^becom? a new
and rum inating sort of detective work
nfr many r?arch scholars and students
of thq^Kngllsh department of
Il'm V"\vor"fty ot Chicago, writes
T y ,u H recent Issue of
Chicago Tribune. Under the direction
of Sir William Cralglo, c<M*dI

which took from 1858 to 1928 to comV***
f?9 wor^HK m the material
for A Dictionary of American
English," baaed on historical principles
which will to a great extent
embody the history not only of American
speech, but American culture
The first volume of the dictionary
will eventually reach four or five volumes
will be purchased this spring
by the University of Chicago Picas.
he collecting of material for the
work has been under way aince 1926,
when Sir William was brought to thla
country from Oxford. I
More than 3.600 volumea have been
read, together with magazines and
newspapers in search of the origin
and growth of American words. More
ban half a million slips containing
quotations for particular words have
been collected.' The dictionary is to
be made more than a reference work
-almost to a cultural history?by the
printing of many quotations showing
the exact Use of words selected. There
will be no efTort to include slang unj
less It had evolved before 1900 Into
common usuge.
"Many changes have taken place lu
he meaning of English words across
the Atlantic In 1607," jigy8 sir WilHam
In an announcement of the new
dictionary. "A new land and new
ways of living called for a new language.
These became known as*Americanisms.
Hut the making of an
American language was more d process
of adaption than invention. 'Log'
and 'shingle' were words which the
| colonists brought with them from
I "?,up- but they have never had the
same Importance for everyday life in
England that they have had Uere.

originated early In America. The

| country until Introduced by the settlers.
One writer records that the In-'
dlans had no name for It and called
it the Englishman's fly. Yet the indention
of the 'bee line' to mean a
straight line is purely American, although
it has now become familiar in
j England. Such instances multiply by
the thousands.
A historical dictionary of American
English is thus something very dlfj'11
r''iit from a dictionary of American
slang; it covers much more than a
dictionary of Americanisms would do.
" has to include, as far as possible,
not only every word, usage.-or phrase
which has originated on this side of
the Atlantic from the days ol the first
colonies, but every one which has a
<lenr connection with the development
of the country and the culture
of its Inhabitants."
; In the ten years' work that has |
gone into the making of this first volume
many words have been carried
to earlier datings than ever known
before. "Bluff" htts been_ <>appie<l
back to 1687. This came from the
Caroliha coast, it has been discovered.
It was first an adjective used by
sailors to apply to the bows of a vessel
when these were straight up and
down. Then its application spread to
shores and banks. This was noted In
the eighteenth century in Savannah.

the name of a machine with which
counterfeit money was made. "Crank"

"O. Khas been traced back to the
Ho*ton Transcript of 1840. where it

The word "blizzard" illustrates the
extont to which' research may go in
the history of one word. A 40-page
explanation of this word has been
prepared by Allen Walker Read, asso- '
elate editor of the dictionary, formerly
of the University of Missouri.
For years, he says the story has
circulated in the state of Iowa that
the word blizzard originated there.
He found this word, springing, amid
the flux of the pioneer frontier, particularly
seductive. He found his
flrst clue in the Milwaukee Republican
of March 4. 1881. in which it was
stated 4hn4-the word had been applied
to a snowstorm in the Northern Vindieator
of KHthervlllo, HI., between
I860 and 1870. He found there was
no such town in Illinois, but that the
Northern Vindicator was founded in
Estherville, Iowa, in 1868. His search
thereupon turned to Iowa and old
newspjrpor files and eouhjy histories.

writes of a hunting trip:
"I started down the edge of tike liver
low grounds, giving out the pur uit

two more bucks, very large fellows,

Blease Runs f
For Governor
Cole L. Please, former governor and
formef United States senator, ? aanounCed
yesterday that he would be
a candidate for governor in 1038 "provided
I am living and my health is
as good as it is today."
Please said he was undecided about
entering the senate race this summer,
but "semitor or no senator, If I live
I'll run for governor in 1938."
"I do not wish to run for the senate
as 1 have other work to do for
the people before I bid politics adieu.
I have not yet said or decided
whether or not 1 will be a candidate
I for the sonate. If I abide by my own
feelings I certainly will not be, bub
even tod^y three people from three
different counties have come to me
and asked me to be a candidate."
He predicted that "President Roosevelt
will come out with a statement
a couple of weeks before the primary
asking South Carolinians to return
Byrnes to the senate, and that he and
other friends of his will assert that
South Carolina if they defeat Byrnes
will be repudiating the president, of
his detriment in the November election."?Columbia
