HARD ON THE LAWYERS
A Southern columnist, who playfully
suggested that all lawyers
should he hanged, was bombarded
with Indignant protests form members
of the bar. He apologised, with
the following graceful statement.
"They should have known that I was
Joking, for not more than threefourths
of the lawyers should bo
bunged."?Editor James It. Ululr, In
the Amerlcus Times-Recorder. This
brings to mind the story of the editor
of a weekly uewapuper who said In
an editorial. "Half the members of
the city council arc low-down crooks.'
The elty council resoluted against
the editor and demanded a retraction
of his statement. In the next Issue,
the editor wrote: "We have been
asked to retract what we said hero
last week to the effect that half of
t be members of the local city council
are lowdown crooks. We hereby
comply: Half of the members of tho
city council are not lowdown crooka.

TWO OF A KIND
Two Incidents which occurred on
our preBS duy seemed to us to
strengthen the arguments for the
printed word versus the spoken.
In a newspaper promotion piece
which came to our doHk was the story
at a wocuatt wku eau&ht to purehMMO |
merchandise from a firm five years
after Its advortlsment had appeared^
in the newspaper. She wanted the
chair's mentioned In tho copy, she told
the furniture company, If they were
still ofTered somewhere near the prtce
Quoted.
For five long years this prospective
customer, hundreds of miles away,
had saved that newspaper ad against
the time when she might want tho
merchandise! We doubt seriously
that she could have remembered the
company's name and Its price that
long If she had heard the furniture
ofTer made on tho radio or by a salesma
n.
The other Incident rather trifling
but equally Illustrative of the practice
of treasuring a nowspaper clipping,
Involved one of our telegraph operators
whose name had appeared In a
story tn 1921. Yellowed and tolrn
from hundreds of creaslngs when he
displayed it to those he thought might
be Interested, tho clipping came from
Ills pocket for another proud showing
of the time when he was mentioned
In a page one story.
11 was another illustration of how ?
newspaper mention is treasured, and
a reminder that the old axiom of
"Names, names and more names", is
as valid today as it ever was. 'The
daily influx of bit? national and international
news stories should not blind
editors to the fact that local news is
still the mainstay of the paper.

THE WORLO'8 TELEPHONES
There Arc 42,642,262 In Use Thruout
the World
Tho latest available comprehensive
statistics of (he world's telephone
facilities have Just been Issued by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, in an eight-page booklet of
tables and charts entitled "Telephone
and Telegraph Statistics of tho
World, January 1, 1940." This compilation
Is based on -information supplied
by telephone administration and
companloH throughout the world.
On January 1, 1940, out of a total
42,642,252 telephones in the world. 20,
830,960 were in service in the United
States. The 21,811,302 telephones
thruout the rest of the world were
equivalent to only one telephone for
every 100 people, whereas the United
States has 16 telephones per 100 population.
Hintilurly, tho wire used In the
United States telephone service
amounted at the beglnuing of 1940 to
nearly 4,000 feet for every man, woman
and child in the country, as compared
with less than 200 feet por capita*'In
the rest of the world. On an
average, each American usod the telephone
231 times during 1939, whereas
people outside this country averuged
only some 15 calls per year. At
tho present time, approximately 100
million telephone calls are completed
in the United Statos ovory full business
day. '
To All Wheat Producers
It will be necessary to issue to all
farms that produce wheat in 1941 a
marketing card in order that such
wheat may be identified as Penalty
Freo Wheat.
Wo wish to expedite in every way
possible the delivery of these cards,
such cards may be obtained from tho
county ofTice which is located In the
Agricultural Building.
It 1b expected that each producer of
wheat will identify his wheat when
disposing of it regardless of whether
the wheat is disposed of through barter,
cash transaction or otherwise,
alao TegaTdless of whether he has
planted an acreage of wheat on the
three acre farm family basis, his
usual acreage, or his alloted acreage.
In other words all wheat must be
identified regardless of the acreage
and the method used in disposing of
such wheat. You will save unnecessary
loss of time which is valuable to
you at this time of the year by calling
for -year -wheat -maTto.el.Vrig card as
soon as possible, says W. C. McCarley.
county agent.

WAR RELIEF TOPS
$35,000,000 MARK
Washington, D. C..^-Amerlcan Red
Cross relief to war-stricken nations In
Europe and the Orient totals more
than $35,000,000, Chairman Norman
H. Davis announced here.
Almost half, or $15,798,546, went
to Great Britain. The balance was
divided between unoccupied France,
Finland, China, Spain, Greece, Yugoslavia
and other European countries
where the Red Cross gave
emergency relief to Polish, Norwegian,
Belgian and Dutch refugees, aid
to war prisoners and other services.
Included in the relief were 3,846,317
garments and 20, 125,073 surgical
dressings produced by almost a million
women volunteers In Red Cross
chapters. These supplies were valued
at *10.377 R4Q
Of the total relief given, the American
Red Cross provided $18,517,351
from its own funds while the balance,
or $16,498,248, came from the U. S.
Government appropriation for foreign
war relief.
The Chairman said this vast opera'
tion had been executed with great
I economy, especially because the Red
Cross has been able to use, without
charge, the facilities of established
relief agencies in each country. For
this reason only small staffs of American
Red Cross personnel were needed
to supervise the various operations.
"Work or Fight"
Is Now New Order
Columbia, S. C.. June 11 South
Carolina's Selective Service headquarters
was asked today to notify each
of the state's 83 local boards that
registrants in essential industry and
production occupations should be immediately
reclassified "if they have
ceased to perform the jobs for which
they were deferred and who are. by
such failure, impeding the national
defense program."
Brig. Gen. Holmes B. Springs, state
that he had received a telegram from
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, deputy
director, asking that such action be
taken in South Carolina. Similar telegrams
were sent to the directors of
the other states, it was understood.
The action taken by national headquarters
followed the seizure of the
North American Aviation Company's
plant at Inglewood. Cal., yesterday
t)>* the army after strikers refused
to return to their jobs.
General Springs was high in his
praise of President Roosevelt in
prdering the army to take over the
plant and of General Hershey for his
lotion in ordering reclassification of
itriking registrants who had willingly
eft their jobs because of union
ictivities. ,
"It should be a great consolation to
he thousands of young South Caro- i
Inlans and Americans who are servng
their country at $21 and $30 per
nonth that there will now be an end
o what appears to be un-American
pd activities of those labor leaders
,-ho have duped many of our work-,
rs," General Springs said.
