One lady says that ahe always atarts off slowly, because she never can ton If she Is going to move forward or backward. Mrs. L. R. Wannamaker forgot that there was no running board on her new coupe. She ? wanted an errand run, saw a young negro standing by and called to him, "John, get on tho side of the car and go down to the Held with me." She added Impatiently, "don't stand there gaping; get on the running board." The boy's eyes turned white, but he climbed in at the window. Mrs. Waunamuker cried, "Clet back out of tho window! I can't drive with you In here!" The boy turned green, but he dropped his head back and plastered his faun Into the side of the car. Not untlVbhe'd driven the boy to the field, had driven him back to his home ut fifty miles an hour; and not until she had returned to her own home, had gotten out and seen the outline of the boy's body Imbedded in the new paint Job, did she realize that she had eutertalned a humau fly unaware.? Calhoun Times. DOOMED Hitler? Is he winning? Can anyone doubt U today p His torcoB move as does n giant glacier, crushing and grinding all before It. But Hitler Is doomed, was doomed before he flew a plane or ttred a gun or drove a tank. Why dare we say this? Because we live in a moral universe. Because all history testifies that no man has ever defied the morul order of this unseen world and not been crushed before Its inexorable reality. The quotation is old, It's time-worn, but it's eternally true "The mills of Clod grind slowly but they grind exceeding small." Sooner or later between these grinding millstones of righteousness. Justice, truth, the ruthless tyrant must bo caught. Triumphant Caesar fell that memorable day, the Ides of March. The seemingly Invincible Napoleon, the would-be master of Europe, died a prisoner In exile on the guarded Island of St. Helena. It may not be today. It may not be tomorrow. Time alone tells the day, the year, the century when earth's real victorious hosts have won the battle thoy had seemed to lose.?Our Dumb Animals. INEVITABLE It was inevitable that a clash would some day come between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia and Joe Stalin must have realized that he was merely postponing the day of reckoning when he made his "marriage of convenience" with the Reich in 19.19 - the alliance, which sot off World War II. For the continent of Europe is not big enough to harbor two ambitious cutthroats of the Adolf and Joseph type. And had not Hitler said lie would "never tolerate the establishment of two continental powers in Europe?" And In Metn Kampf he wrote this about the nation with which he subsequently made tin alliance?an alliance which he this week violated. "The present rulers of Russia do not at nil think of entering an alliance sincerely or of keeping one. \\ e must never forget that the regents of, present-day Russia are common bloodstained criminals; that here Is the scum of humanity, which, favored by conditions In a tragic hour, overran a great state, butchered and rooted out millions of Its leading intellects with savage bloodthirstlness. and for nearly ten years has exercised the most frightful regime of tyranny of all time. Nor must we forget that these rulers belong to a nation which combines a rare mixture of bestial horror with an Inconceivable gift of lying, and today more than ever before believes Itself called upon to Impose its bloody oppression on the whole world...." (Can you conceive of the gentle Adolf having the brass to write of any nation In this vein? Why It Is the best desriptlon of present-day Nazi Germany that we have ever had the J displeasure of reading!) But regardless of what ono may think of Russia, past or present, England and America warmly welcome her aid. One does not question too closely the morals of an ally who may save one from having his throat silt by a more dangerous enemy. England and America will follow Churchill In giving what aid they can spare to Russia In her fight with the common foe. Russia's strength is a great unknown, both as to (inanity and quality. Some estimate that she has more than 10,000,000 soldiers, most of them untried. 10,000 planes of various degrees of efficiency, a large mechanized force. If she lasts long, she may break Hitler; should she collapse early she may make him. Meantime, historians recall that RuhrVa and winter crucified the flower of Napoleon's army, even though the "Little Corporal" marched at will without losing a battle.?Winnsboro Herald and News. Pine Grove Announces Revival Revival servies will begin Sunday morning, July 110, and will continue each night at 7:45 throughout the week. Services will be in charge of the Rev. T. A. Davis, of Rock Hill. S. C. The public is cordially invited to attend these inspiring and helpful meetings. THE FELLOWSHIP OF ROTARY Rotary la not trying to build a world fellowship from the outside, but from the Inside. It is not trying to assemble a miscellaneous lot of men of all countries and confer upon them the badge of fellowship. On the contrary, It Is seeking to find and associate together in each commercial center In the world those individual business and professional men who are possessed of the ideal of service, or who can be led to accept It as a motlsTating force In their dally lives. Such men as Rotarlans will proceed to manifest or express their idealism In the things they do and the stand they take In their respective communities. Each will endeavor to serve society through the conduct Of his business or profession. He will endeavor to make the community in which he lives a better place for himself and others to live. As he helps to maintain honesty and Integrity and thoughtfulness of and helpfulness to others In his community, he will be receptive to the thought that there are other men like-minded in other communities In his county and In other communities all over the world. He will become Interested In establishing some sort of contact with ilke-minded men everywhere In the world, and that makes a fellowship of Rotary International. Recent officers elected to serve the Camden Rotary club for the year 1941-1942 are: Moultrie Burns, president; Henry Savage. Jr.. vice president; Lee Mays, secretary; Thomas Ancrum, treasurer; S. C. Clyburn, sergeant-at-arms; J. C. fcwing, assistant sergeant-nt-arms; Mrs. F. N. McCorkle. pianist. W? Gave It Too Bennettsvllle.?At least Uncle Sam has benefitted In some degree by red tape. He has obtained a threemonths' subscription free to the Pee( Dee Advocate. I Recently the publisher received a requistlon from the war department to enter the subscription of the Fourth Area Rents Board, Fort Jackson, for a period of three months. Invoice was to be mailed In triplicate, with reference. to P. O. W?408,412,141, This was done for the amount of fifty cents. A short while later a "purchase order confirmation" involving an 8 1-2x11 form was received. Then the triplicate invoice came back with a long "memo" to the effect that the certificate be stamped or typed on all invoices and signed as indicated, etc. Soon the publisher could stand no more. So he wrote across the face of the triplicate Invoices: "To hell with it; we've got something else to do. Tell Uncle Sam to please accept this subscription with our compliments." CYPRES8 LUMBER SUNK FIFTY YEARS STILL SOUND In 1890 a barge load of lumber was sunk In Black River, South Carolina. The lumber was loaded with cypress and part of the load was submerged and part of It extended above the water level. Subsequently, vegetation grew from the nearby bank over the top of the barge and right on top of the pile of lumber a dense mass of vegetation took root and proceeded to grow. Among the vegetations was a tupelo tree and in 1940, or flty years after the barge sank, this tupelo tree, growing right on top of the pile of lumber, Is nine inches in diameter at breast height. T. W. McKinely, Management Assistant of the U. S. Forest Service assigned to duty with the South Caroline Commission of Forestry, examined the cargo and took a picture of it as well as its interesting covering of hushes and trees. It was found that the cargo consisted of cypress lumber and that even today the deeply piled lumber, some of which Is entirely submerged and some of which is completely out of the water, is for the most part sound and usable. This bears out the often heard claim that "black cypress or cypress growing on clear water streams or in clear water ponds Is "The Wood Eternal.' " The sunken lumber is located at the Ornsby Plantalon, fourteen miles northeast of Andrews, South Carolina on Black River, aavjsos the State Forest Service. Wop The Yorkville Enquirer observe* thut Axis statesmanship hft a new low thirf week when Benito Mussolini showed hluutelf such a complete guttersnipe that a part of one of his speeches could uot be printed tu the world press. The reason isn't one of mllltaiT or political censorship. It Is one of simple decency. A seven-yean-old boy In an American, t English, German?or Italian? family would have his mouth washed out with soap for that sort of coarse pun on the name of the American President?a pun which the successor of Cavoud saw fit to make in a radio i broadcast. ' II Duce repeatedly, deliberately aud with obvious gusto, mispronounced President's Roosevelt's middle name in a way that gave it an unprintable meaning in Italian. The worst we can say is that Adolf Hitler must have blushed for his partner.?Yorkville Enquirer. Important Truth Illustrated A notable illustration of an Important truth is found in a recent action of John T. Stevens of Kershaw. The truth is this: the common good and enlightened self-interest are not antagonistic. And the illustration of that truth is found in what Mr. Stevens has been dolug about the boll weevil menace. Mr. Stevens operates cottonseed oil mills and cotton gins and is otherwise interested in cotton. He realized the seriousness of the boll weevil threat this season r its seriousness to farmers, to South Carolina as a whole, and to his own interests. Therefore Mr. Stevens put every available man in his employ on the road to talk to farmers, ginners and other about the boll weevil, to urge them to flght the parasite, and to make avalable to^them the materials with which to carry on the flght.?Columbia State.
