" 80ME COMPARISONS
Every high school boy ought to
know that George Washington etrougly
advised ugahiHt the ontauKlement
of this country In European aff alriy
Utter came James Monroe with his
famous "Monroe Doctrine." As most
of us know, to express it In plain,
Hlmple language, this pronouncement
warned the world against Interfering
with either North or youth America.
That we would not interfere with European
affairs, and they must keep
iheir noses out of ours. It said In so
many words that "America Is for
Americans." Contrast that wholesome
doctrine with Woodrow SVllson
who forced us into the European mess
of 1U14 HHS,- and President Roosevelt
who is trying to repeat the asinine
performance before twenty-live years
have rolled "over our lunula. As a
backwoods "looker-on lu-Vlenna," this
turmoil In Europe, so far as we are
concerned, looks like a tompost In a
teapot. Congress has the Jitters, and
spending money by the billions In
preparation for war, but not one.
when pressed to name any enemy of
ours In sight, has ventured to toll one
even in prospect. The trouble In Europe
now (and there Is always more
or less trouble over there) la duo to
the Versailles treaty. It was a mere
hodge-podge or revenge and lack of
foresight. It is responsible for Hitler.
Hut why should we stick our bills
v into their si Ink-pot ? What have they
over done for us except rob us or millions
of dollars.'
They are making speeches and bally
booing every day in Congress against
war What war? They did the same
thing in 1912 with this difference?
Woodrow Wilson pretended to be
with them, while our impractical president
Is fomenting war.
Wilson was elected the second time
on his slogan against war, but fell
from grace. Even bis then secretary
of state, Colby, now admits the blunder
of his boss in bringing on war for
the Cnitbd States. The noted Juvenile
judge. Hell Undsay, of Denver,
Colorado, told President Roosevelt to
tiis teeth the other day that the very
young men who did all the dying and
endured most of the 'agony in the
World War should not be again forced
into a foreign war without being
allowed to vote on the matter. The
president, of course, made no answer.
That would be getting too far away
from dictatorship.
Should the propaganda boom again,
ahead of the guns, with the president
bellowing for war, wo are wonderingj
what the attitude of congress would
be As before, we fear It would coll
up and vote as told.?Calhoun Times.
WHAT DID THEV FIND?
The old Dr Powe place Is out on
the Wadesboro road about a mile from
town Ati avenue lined with elms and
cedars reaches from the road nearly
a quarter of a mil? to where the old
home Stood The place passed out of
Dr Powe's hands m 1*7 4, and it was
tbeti known as the Pollock place, and j
1.c<T it has ho- n owned by U K T>anThe
old homo was buried half

I be negro living there states that
last Thursday two strange men drove

Dr. Powe place He told them it was.
Thev then asked him to show them
tbe old spring, which is some 200
hundred yards from the house. ThU,
be did and they then drove away. i
That night lie was awakened by his
dog barking and he went out to se?
the rauw and saw a flickering light
at the old spring, and when he neared
it be saw two men digging The negro i
returned to the house and saw a large
,.tr r landing in the avenue. Some
Cm" Ki'or the men got in the car and
drove away Next morning it wit
: >und that a large hole about four
square and about a yard deep
had aeon dug. j
I: ,s known that during the time
Sherman's army was here In that
(\i -> - li\:sion was camped for three
days on the Powe farm Relatives of
Dr Powe said that when the Yankees
tame the silver plate, etc. was buried
but the Yankees found it. so the only
theory of the digging last week Is
that perhaps a Yankee soldier buried'
ftome valuables there. Intending to
come back after the war and get
them. Perhaps he made a map of

Chronicle.
.
By L. L. STEVENSON
Back from a 19-months tour of tHe
continent, Estelle unci Leltoy, ballroom
dancers, have many stories
to tell. The one they favor the
most is on themselves. At La Scala,
they found themselves preceded
by a group of whirling dervishes
known as the Ballet des Zaren. On
opening night, resin was sprinkled
plentifully over the floor for the ballet
and by the time Estelle and LeKoy
came on, the stage surface was
Bfl 6xpan.se of slippery wax. To
malfe matters worse, for their routine,
the stage was so raised at the
back that the front dipped into the
orchestra pit. Nevertheless, everything
went well with their first two
dances. But just as they went into
the whirlwind finish of their final
number, clown they crashed, Estelle
into the bass drum and LeRoy into
the astonished face of the first violinist.
And from then on, whenever
they approached the edge of the
stage, the orchestra broke into,
"Danger, Love at Work."
Moriz Rosenthal, 76-year-old "little
giant of the keyboard" who will
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
his American debut with a golden
jubilee concert at Carnegie hall,
loves to relate anecdotes of his
wife's devotion. One concerns an
occasion when Mrs. Rosenthal (one
of Europe's leading piano teachers)
was entertaining a party of friends
in her drawing room while her husband
was upstairs in his study working
on his soon-to-be-published
memoirs. The discussion turned to
a rather difficult problem and when
the argument became hopelessly involved,
one of the ladies of a more
religious bent, observed, "Ah, well,
there is One above Who knows all."
"Ah, yes," responded Mrs. Rosenthal
beaming. "And I will ask him
to come down and tell us what he
thinks."
Before coming to New York, Doris
Rhodes was starred in a number
of out-of-town night clubs. One of
those spots was in a city where
there was a large prison. Actors
from the different c$fes were often
called on to entertain the convicts
and Miss Rhodes, feeling sorry for
the prisoners, always complied with
such requests. One evening at the
conclusion of her program, she informed
the warden that it would be
her last appearance as she was
leaving to fill another engagement.
The warden thanked the singer for
appearing in the prison shows and
then, turning to the inmates added,
"I know you will all miss Miss
Rhodes. She has been here so many
times that she has almost become
one of us."
Here is something unknown to
many of those who have praised
Carol Bruce, young torch singer at
the Midnight Sun, for the unusual
timbre of her voice and the strange
and tingling choral effects produced
thereby. It's all due to an obscure
disease which affects the larynx.
! Miss Bruce has had the disease
since she was 12 years old. A simple
operation would cure it. But a
cure would make her voice merely |
the same as any other. So she prefers
to keep her disease.
* * * !
At 16, George Lowther, radio au- |
thor, broke into his profession as 1
an actor. "Quickie" motion-pic-j
tures, made in a Long Island studio, i
were quite the thing for stage per- i
sonalities with a few idle hours on !
their hands, and Lowther was cast j
in a small part in an eight-reeler. j
Qrdored to work at 6 a. m., his :
day ended at midnight when three j
reels had been completed. The j
second day, the same schedule was
followed.
"We made the entire picture in
something like 40 hours," said
Lowther. "And if I hadn't had a !
fast car I would have missed the
preview."
. .
Last year, Joan Edwards, soloist
with Paul Whiteman's orchestra,
opened the Army and Navy day eel- j
ebration at the Statue of Liberty
with the national anthem. At the
end of the program, a gold-braided J
general patted her on the back and i
as much as told her the army 1
doesn't forget such beautiful sing-i
ing. Evidently it doesn't since this,
year Miss Edwards received an lryn- j
tation from that same general' to'
the Army-Navy football game.

Wild Raccoon Crashes
Into Prison and Remains
COLUMBUS. OHIO ?Ohio state j
penitentiary officials arc wondering ;
how their newest prisoner, a wild j
raccoon, got into the prison.
The voluntary but very vicious
inmate was found in the prison
courtyard and apparently had
climbed the high walls.
The raccoon was added to the collection
of prison pets which includes:
two groundhogs, one possum,
monkey-faced owl, chicker.
hawks, six squirrels, two snakes,
five alligators, two dogs, a parrot
and numerous cats.
Vatican State
Holds Records
It Firtt in Percentage of
Autot, Radios and
Even Soldiers.
VATICAN 8TATE. ? The pontifical
state, newest and smallest of
nations, holds more records than
any other country in the world.
Whether it be telephones, automobile#,
radios, soldiers or even
prosaic elevators and refrigerators,
it is the Vatican City that has more
of the per capita than any other
country.
Although there are only 600 names
listed in the Vatican telephone directory,
it is estimated that each
inhabitant averages more than one
phone apiece. With a population
estimated slightly above the 700
mark, the per capita rate is roughly
.85. The United States, with 15,295,852
telephones, is far behind with approximately
one-eighth of a phone
per person.
Actually the papal state's average
is higher than .85, because many of
the phones connected with Pope
Pius' private and official apartments
and other interapartmental
hookups are not listed in the directory.
Fifteen Outside Lines.
The Vatican also has 15 lines with
the outside world, which in this case
is Italy. There is no country that
can boast of such a high average of
interurban lines for its population.
The Vatican has 32 electrically
driven elevators and in a few
months the figure will be increased
to 35. Although there are about 100
buildings in the small territory, twothirds
are small one and two story
structures used as small1 ofiices
and residences for Vatican employees.
This means that there is one elevator
for each of the larger buildings.
Yet 20 years ago the Vatican
State could only boast three elevators
and all of the hydraulic type.
King Edward VI rode on one of
these old-fashioned lifts when he
came to see the then-reigning pope
early in the Twentieth century.
Boy Still on Job.
The fat, pompous elevator boy
who piloted King Edward to one of
the upper floors is still on the job.
His job has been greatly simplified.
Instead of lugging on a cable, all he
does now is to press buttons and
modern science takes care of the
rest.
It is estimated that there are
piore than 200 automobiles in the
miniature state. It is calculated
that there are two cars for every
seven inhabitants. Even the United
States, which boasts of one automobile
for every 4.9 inhabitants,
cannot match this mark.
It is estimated that ther? is an
average of ;ne radio and one elec tVic
refrigerator per Vatican family.
Although the Vatican can be considered
the most peaceful of states,
on the surface it gives the opposite
impression of being classed among
the most military. Its army makes
up about two-thirds of its entire population.
Even Russia, Germany,
Italy and Japan, which are considered
the most heavily armed, fall
far behind. However, the Vatican
army, composed of Swiss, pontifical
and noble guards and papal gendarmes,
does not possess a single
cannon, a machine gun, an airplane
or even a tank. That in itself is
another record.
'Birth Certificate* Valid
Delaware Still InsisU
DOVER, DEL.?Delaware is prepared
to defend again the validity
of its "birth certificate."
New Jersey tried unsuccessfully
in the United States Supreme court
and in the English courts to prove
that the parchment deed granted
William Pcnn 100 years ago was
turned over by Penn to James, duke
of York, and that the present boundaries
of Delaware are not correct.
An announcement at Trenton, N.
J., disclosed the state intends to
bring an expert from London, William
LeHardy, to examine papers
New Jersey claims, will show that
Penn made the transfer, and that he
never received another grant ;n its
place.
The original parchment deed establishing
Delaware's boundaries is
preserved in the state house here.
Giant Lemons Displayed
NEW ORLEANS.?Lemons that
the grower, Fred Smith, of Myrtle
Grove, claimed would make half a
gallon of lemonade each were displayed
here. The lemons, of the
Ponderosa variety, were from 15 to
20 inches in circumference.
#
Grades of Athletes
Found to Be Average
LINCOLN, NEB?A popular
belief that athletes are not outstanding
in the classroom is not
borne out in a study made of the
scholarship of University of Nebraska
varisty players by Dean
T. J, Thompson.
He found that more than half of
the Husker athletes last year
ranked above the university scholastic
average of 77 per cent. His
survey did not include men participating
in tennis and golf.
A majority were partially self ;
supporting and several earned i
their entire expenses.
Select Males Now
For Breeding Flock
Kershaw county poultry flock owner*
who plan to keep a breeding flock
next fall may obtain beat i vaults by
selecting the males when they are
twelve to sixteen weeks of age, County
Agent W. C. MoCarley suggests. During
this period rate of growth, feathering
and vigor show up quite readily.
Additional selectlou can then be made
at mating time.
"Males possessing rapid rate of
growth and feathering aud are moat
vigorous at maturity, and will introduce
these qualities Into their offspring,"
says the agent.
boll weevil control
VERY IMPORTANT NOW
"Since South Carolina farmers art
going to use the 1-1T mixture as a
means o Tearly boll weevil control
every effort will be made by couuty
agents to give growers all available
Information regarding its use," Director
D. W. NVatkins of the extension
service, said this week.
Last summer on 17,834 farms the
standard 1 IT mixture was applied to
cotton, according to county agents' os
tlmates. This was an increase of 71
per cent over the estimate for 1937
Present Indications are that an oven
greater increase will be reported this
year, Mr. Watklns predicted. He said
that reports from county agents are
to the efTect that farmers are not
waiting for reports of heavy weevil
emergence ' to purchase poison. One
of the factors In this increased interest,
the Director pointed out, is re
ports from farmers on the effectiveness
of poisoning last year. The far
mers also realize that there was an
abundance of weevils going Into hi
bernatlon last fall, followed by a very
mild winter, both of which are favorable
for the weevils.
During the fall of 1938 director Wat
kins appointed a committee of exteu
sion workers to study the situation
and to suggest ways and means by
which an ample supply of molasse
and poison would be readily accessi
ble to all farmers in 1939. Fertilizer
companies, oil mills and other busl
ness interests are cooperating in se
curing local supplies of materials for
boll weevil control at reasonable
prices.
Holds Monthly Meeting
The Flat Rock home demonstration
club met at the home of Mrs. Hutson
Gay. The club, led by Miss Fewell
sang several songs. A Mother's Day
devotional was given by Mrs. T. M
Young, Jr. After the roll was called
and the minutes read by the secretary
the program was then conducted by
Mi88 Fewell. She gave a brief retiew
of the subjects studied during
the year. The subject for this month
was "Stain Removal." Each member
received a book on stain removal and
Miss Fewell discussed the many diff
erent kinds of stains listed. She gave
the three different classifications of
stains and mentioned the fact that
it was best to always make a test to
find out what a removal contained before
rising. She gave several home
methods to remove stains.
The social hour was enjoyed very
much. One game of particular interest
was the "Telegram Message." Each
person was given the word 'Mother
to make a short message, beginning
each word with the letters in the Wrd
"Mother." The winner of this contest
was Mrs. T. H. Young. She received
a beautiful pink sandwich tray. During
the social hour, Mrs. Hutson Gay
gave an interesting reading, entitled
"Mother." The hostess,' assisted by
the secretary, served cake and jello.
She then presented each oile with a
small basket filled with mints.
There were fifteen members present
and one visitor. The meeting adjourned
to meet In June at the home
of Mrs. G C. Sowell.?Contributed.
