Mrs. Waite is the former Klizabeth Cat rison of Camden, and she. with her husband and children, makes her home in Paris. Mrs. Moyse s wedding gown, from all accounts, must have been very lovely, it was a smart Udong nioiiel ot wine-colored broadcloth, and with this was worn orchids ranging in tones troin pale orange rust to the deeper sliad'-s of her suit. 1 he bride and bridegroom are now on their wedding trip. They are traveling through (lie chateau country of the Loire district, where they are visiting many historic and beautiful old castles. j Mr. and .Mis Moyse will lliako their Inmie in Pans as Mr. .Moyse is now connected with the French branch of Lloyds Insurant e agency.?Saturday "a State.

A different type of Judge from any r of the other* cowing here to hold ? court Is Judge C. J. Karaage, now on the bench her?,*,Ho 1* human, that he Ih surcharged with personality B which Is In aoUbrt' evgry minute, on or off the bench. He 1m u very learned Jurist, the attorneys hero way, and thin has been recognized several times by him being called to serve as a temporary . i associate Justice of the supreme court. . j Hut the layman Ih most Interested , ! in the personally of Judge ltumage. , It Ih ho great and complex that It . can not be defined In a sentence, any , more tliun can humanity itself. <j ; He Is a large man, and his deep , legal learning is camouflaged by the Jolly manner large men uro apt to have. He has hud a reputation for j telling Jokes, hut on his arrival hero he said that he has stopped telling Jokes and gone to reading the Bible. But while the Jury for the lit si trial of the term was being drhwn by the clerk, Judge Humugo went down to tiie lawyers' table and told u funny one about a red lioud?ending by saying he is very fond of red, headed people. And within the uuuiu second that the clerk had completed the jury drawing, tho Judge was Hying buck to the bench, his black gown flaring out like wingH, and court business wus not delayed u split second by thut human Interest conversation with the attorneys. As a judge, he bus no tangents upon which his mind, ulways logical, runs, and his only obsession Is to keep the court moving rapidly all the time. As cause or effect of this habit, ho likes to got back homo from court in other places, and he wastes no time loitering after the cases on the docket are disposed of. Ho is remarkably quick in every action of his body as well as of bis mind. He flashes back rulings on evidence during a trial very quickly, and there is no argument after he Iras made a decision on u point of law. But with this rapidity there is always perfect surenesa and lucidity. His instructions to juries are composed so completely and simply, that any lay jury understands the law he I Is laying down, when he sends them I to the Jury room. And on or oil' the bench he never seems to forget the I least detail of his thought, and lie expresses in . language precisely what he intends every time. i On the bench, Judge itaniage looks like a judge ought to look, in the opinion of those who like to visualize types. Above his black gown is a large head, very bald, with a round | lace, with an iron gray mustache on j the upper lip. He wears a black bow tie. And that face expresses the real man. The eyes are keen, penetrating, and constantly seeing everything in the vicinity. The whole face is alert, reflecting every single item in tho surroundings, and Judge itaniage would never miss something within his view, physically or mentally. Even the uld routine of monotonous formalj ities in court ho observes like a man I vitally interested in the proceeding. | Although a jurist of very high reputation among South Carolina lawyers who practice before him, Judge Hamage i> a real human man. He chews1 tobacco.--Yorkville Enquirer. | Audubon's Drawings | Columbia.?Audubon's "Birds of i America, From Original Drawings,' is i the most valuable single work in the | Cnlvprsity of South Carolina library. Its estimated worth is $S.u00, aecord, ing to K. M. Kennedy, I'niversity li; brarian. If the plates making up the | publication were sold separately they would probably not $20,000. Presented to the university by the state legislature, the works consist of four volumes of plates. The volumes are a part of tho first elephant folio edition of Audubon's "Birds of America," published in Loudon, 13271X38. The rarity of this work of America's foremost ornithologist came about through destruction of plates j for the first edition. , 1'he plates are kept locked in/fhu museum room of the univeprfUy librar.v, but students and visitors may inspect thoin on request.

(By Bpec tutor) Vemu aK<> our fathers lived in a Hurt of swashbuckling epoch. 'Hie gocalled beet man won. Mometlmes the. winner won by trickery, imposition or fraud; but however he may huve won he wore the laurels of success and people bowed and scraped to bitn. That swashbuckler method wua true in many relationships. Many meu of large business Interests were rascals; and many men of email luteroHte were raacule. When it comee to rascality ulmoet any email community hue Its full quota of uhudy people, though they operute on u emull ecale. It need not surprise ue, then, that investigators can bring to light muuy deale and detaile of more or leee crooked taint; but that la no reaeon for euddcnly cruuhing neceeeury. business today, Wo are ail familiar with the etory of the Chinaman who net lire to hie catie houee eo ae to roaet hie pig. liurnlng down one'e home to rouet a pig or kill u rut ie expeneivo and foolleh. So it ie that in harrying our big bueiueee concerns we are almost burning down the houee in queet of a rat. What would become of Greenville or Spartunburg if the cotton mills up there should go out of business? What would bo the effect if those mills wore removed to Alabama? Would that be a profitable experience for those progressive and delightful towns? Would that be for the betterment of our state? On the other hand, would not our low-country towns be happy to get a few cotton mills? By the way, the low-country is getting paper mills. How happy they are! But that is our road to progress; we must have industries. At ouo time we aimed constantly ut railroads and we developed such a sure aim that you couldk throw a jock in any direction and hit a ruilroud. We nearly strangled the railroads to death. Now -we are sharpening our knives for the utilities. We almost seem to forget that utilities were built by private enterprise and with private capital; we seem to forget that utilities serve customers, most of whom are not complaining. Most of this furore about the utilities is something the politicians have incubated .and hatched for the sake of something to say. Are we victims of the utilities? I'm not, for 1 can still buy oil and use1 a good lamp. 1 have done it and I enjoyed a good light. Are the big business concerns victims of the utilities? Well, have you noticed that1 many big concerns generate their own power? They don't fear the utilities; in fact they don't even do business with them at all. 'I wo big paper factories have come to South C&roliua. They will not buy power from any utility; they will generate their own power. Do you know that the big paper mills can generate their power for less than the utilities1 can sell it to them? Why? Because the man or concern who' generates his own power does not pay the pow-1 er tax. If he bought the power from a company he would have to pay the tax through the power, company. By generating his own power lie saves the tax. As more factories install their own generators what will become of tho power companies? They are facing a keen and resourceful competition just as tlie railroads have in the buses ami t rucks. '1 he governor's suggestion that the' highway patrol and the State consla- f bulary be merged as the nucleus of a state police system is sound. I ' think he might go somewhat further in .that direction, for that alone would be just a small beginning, though it i has the merit of recognizing a problem and offering a constructive re-! commendation. The suggestion that the sale of licenses be concentrated in one office is, of tjourse, sound; and i the proposal that all funds be hand-! led by the state treasurer and accounted for as one general account is timely. _?Now that these concrete proposuls are being studied over tho week end I think the most urgent point that could bo studied is that of relieving J the taxpayers. It Is so astounding as to be lncredltible that up to this moment our statesmanship lias not grasped the need of reducing school district taxes and other local taxes. This does not necessarily presuppose a reduction in salaries; but it should contemplate first and foremost tlia condition of tho citizens who are struggling to hold or to buy homes. Our national leaders are concerned over the growth of farm tenancy and town renters. It is being recognized that our social stability Is dependent on people owning their homos and farms. A foot-looso people don't build towns or communities. All of us know that It is choaper to live as a tenant than to meet the obligations of an owner. This is one of the unsettling factors of our present-day condition. Furthermore, we would do well to call a conference of our business leaders, a few men from * i ? ? each branch of business, to study a plan for the rehabilitation and development of our state. We live, in a keenly competitive day and should look forward to providing employment for those who live here now and their sons. I say it with the greatest appreciation of our public men that their thought seems to be on spending, not on earning. If we have the problem of providing more generously for our schools and at the same time a more pressing problem of relieving our taxpayers, that is just about the sort of problem which our manufacturers met so successfully and thereby began the economic recovery. We have in our general assembly and in our public offices many men of first-rate ability. If they would devote their best thought to the problems of a more productive use of our resources our condition would be improved. 1 don't mean to increase taxes; I mean to increase the earning power of the people so that the cost of government would be distributed among more producers, And by so much be less burdensome to industry and to home and farm-owners. Our memory is short; perhaps that's a good thing;-but it comes aljnost as a shock to read that 5,377 banks are still indebted to the R. F. C. What was the real condition of oiir country1 iu^ March 1333? The railroads also owe many millions to the R. F. C. Since the R. F. C. was created it lias lent $11,376,180,999.00 to save the business of the country. Even in South Carolina we aro borrowing millions for our homes?and other causes; thirty-two million dollars being spent in this state In 1936 for relief and work relief. The President had allocated about sixty-two millions to South Carolina and fortynine millions was spent on all forms of Federal aid between April and DeI cembor, 1936, in South Carolina. How's that for a prosperous state? More government money being spent in this state in the prosperous year (5f 1936 than the total oost of state, county and municipal government in j South Carolina. Yet there are those } among the gladsome spenders who think the depression an incident of ' the long ago! Simply that?and nothj ing more. I it 11111,' i jisacwweaaiuiii mi n i?eeaaa Reports Theft Of $250,000 In Gems New York.?A 04-year-old man who lived on home relief told police last week his only friend had stolen $250,000 worth of diamonds from him. He remained silent for six months, he t?ald, feariiiK he would he dealt with severely for accepting |16 a week from the relief bureau when he hud auch a hoard of precloua stones. Finally, in desperation he went to a Brooklyn police station and told the ntory. He said he was Joseph Hose and dcMcribod himself uh a retired diumond dealer. 1/niis Gorellck, 32, the friend he accused, wuh arrested on u charge of grand larceny pending an investigation. I Hose said he sepuruted from his wife about seven months ugo. Fearing she might attempt, to attach his wealth, which he had couverted into diamonds when he retired two years ago, he said he took the gems from a safe deposit box and buried them behind the home of his father,. Isaac Justerman, 94, at Freehold, N. J. Then to create the illusion that ho wuh a pauper, he said, he returned fo New York, moved into a cheaply furnished room and applied for home relief.
