DOE8 CRIME PAY?SOMETIME8 | A brutal, vlclout^ Ignorant erlmlie I ai was released severul duy* ago from a federal prison. This criminal had committed all the crliqos In the category, but ho served time only for ' evading his Income tuxes. Mystery surrounding hie rolouau; he wus spirited away from tho prison and newspapers all ovur the country i wore speculating on Just where ho was and what he would do. The release of this man from prison was "big news" to some, but to us ho was Just another criminal who had served his time. AI Capone should have boon given tli/6 usual shoddy suit of clothes and , the live or ton dollars allowed nil prisoners whon they are released and | permitted to go his way, Instead of being treated as though he may have , been of the royal purple. ; Al's case rather refutes the claim , that crime does not pay. This man I headed the most ruthless, the most vicious bunch of thugs in the history of America. Every crime from larceny to wholesale murder was laid at Ills door. He accumulated millions of dollars. He was finally convicted for evudlng his Income tax on his illgotten gains and was sent to prison for ten years. He has served seven j of those years and Is now a free man. i No doubt ho has plenty of "blood money" to live in luxury the rest of I hie days, 110 matter how long he may I live. J When the youth of the land reads 1 of this man's career, as they are reading and will continue to rend for some time, there will bo many of thorn who will come to the conclusion that the old saw about crime not paying is the "bunk".?

FOR YOUNG MEN Youuk mdo who may feel that thero is no longer a "chance", uo opportunity, and all that {hi* country may find u little encouragement in the Study. In brief, of the career of a former chief Justice of the Supremo Court of Pennsylvania who died lust Tuesday. Till* man was the youngest man ever to alt on the Supreme Court' of Pennsylvania and he never spent a day in college. I.ate In life he received tlve honorary degrees from leading colleges, but be was never u student In a college for oven one day. This unusual person wus u native of Philadelphia but his father wus u native of Poland. The father Joined the Austria^; army as u yujth, and having gifbsiW wrong in too Kossuth uprising ho found his life in danger. He fled to England, then to .imericu and In Philadelphia married a native American woman. I Their son ltob6rt Von Moschzlskerj was this former chief Justice of the j Supreme Court of Pennsylvania whoi literally "made himself". He was left' an orphan at eleven years of age. ! The lad began work at three dollars the week us office boy In a lawyer's office. i He read law at night and added to his Income, as a young man, by writJug sports news for the Philadelphia Press. He wus admitted to the bar at the age of twenty-six. Deciding to try outdoor life for a time, and before his admission to tho bar, he went to Central America and then to our own West where he became a ranchman and enjoyed It, he always said. And for the rest of his life li,o always had a great respect for the man who works with his hands. At thirty-three the young Von Moschziskor was elected to what corresponds to our circuit Judgeship in Philadelphia and in tho four hundred decisions handed down by him only live were reversed. Ho was never reversed In a criminal case, it is said. At thirty-nine he was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Pennslyvania and chief Justice before he was fifty. The man had ambition plus. He was not afraid of work.?Greenwood Index-Journal. SOUTH CAROLINA BANKS MAKE 120,000 NEW LOANS New York.

Mary Lou gathered her baggage together and took the bus across to the other station, to find her connecting train had left on schedule. The folks would drive in to town to meet the train unless she could head them off. Her message put through, Mary Lou sank down on one of the benches to, collect her thoughts and make her plans until train time. ?Five o'clock, and no train until 9:30 the next morning. "Going out sobn?" a cheery voice near her asked. She looked up to And the chief usher standing beside her. A middle-aged, friendly looking fellow. Mary Lou told him of her missed connections. "Here, Eddie, look at this!" a red cap interrupted her story. He was leading a three-year-old child, a dear little girl with big blue eyes and yellow curls. "What are youdoing with the kid? Is she lost?" Eddie asked sharply, turning away from Mary Lou. "Might as well be. She came in from Denver, in charge ,of the stewj ardess. They missed the train north, ! and the stewardess is celebrating ! Christmas by haying her appendix out, emergency case. They told me to turn the kid over to you," the boy grinned as he handed her over to the chief usher. Eddie took her clumsily. "See here, what can a bachelor like me do with a kid like this?" He looked appealingly at Mary Lou. / Mary Lou's eyes filled with tears. Then she held out her arms toward the youngster. "What is your name, dear?" she asked. "Annette Pollard. I am three years old and I am going from Cheyenne to Rio, Wisconsin, to my grandma Poliard. My daddy is there." It was a lesson she had been taught. Mary Lou held her close. "I had a little girl almost as old as Annette Mary Lou heard the voice of Annette's father. I when she died," she said brokenly tb Eddie. "Let me keep the child tohight, and take her to her home. I fnissed the same train she did."? lEddie studied her face. What he saw satisfied him. Still he hesitated for a moment. "That sounds good to me. r.ut I'd better get the conductor to authorize it." IT WAS soon decided that Mary I * Lou should keep her. But she must not leave the station. "It won't be very comfortable for you, ma'am, but the kid can curl up on a bench here and be dead to the world in no time. There are some rocking chairs in the far room there. _Why, of course there are some cots "there, and baby beds." "We ought to telephone the child's relatives," Mary Lou suggested. | "Of cou rse we should. Here is the address and telephone number. ( You do it for me. will you, please. ma'am? I've got my last minute ! shopping to do. I'm mighty glad you came in on this train. Eddie'll take the kid while you telephone to i Rio," and the conductor was off, | after turning over the chad's money to Mary Lou. 'But not utvf.il Mar) j Lou had made him promise io send | a big doll back for the child's ! Christmas. "We'll iet Annette say hello to ! her daddy herself, if she wants to." i Mary Lou exclaimed. And so it was I done, Mary Lou heard the voice of 1 Annette's father, tense with concern, I and then joyful as he realized where his baby was and heard her childish 1 treble over the phone. "Her moth1 er's parents sent her back here to { have Christmas with me. Her moth! er died two years ago," he added. The sun was shining dazzlingly j bright the next morning when the j train stopped at Rio. The red-haired I Vnan who was waiting expectantly I on the platform had only time to thank Mary Lou, and get her address, before the train pulled out leaving him holding Annette as she waved a good-by to Mary Lou. But the trip home was much easier. Mary Lou forgot the burning pain at the loss of her own little daughter, the aching loneliness since her own husband's death, as she remembered the soft - kiss of the baby lips 6f the motherless child who had been in her charge the night before. And the look in the face of Annette's daddy made her sure she would see Annette soon. * * * * 1 NOTICE OF SALE Notice Is hereby glveh that In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Decree of the Court of Common Pleas of Kershaw Cpunty, In the case of Holland Furnace Company, BJaintiff, against A.
