The same is true of many another city und town In the maneuver area of the CarollnaH, not because they have thrown off the straight and narrow doctrine of their fathers but for reasons. In u word of hospitality. It does them credit. It does credit to the people of these cities and towns, j who saw the problems of soldierentertainment i'? a practical light. It does credit to their ministers who subordinated their own rigid codes to the injunction: He not. forgetful to entertain strangers, We <;in make no guarantor* that the rest of the verse will apply ( . . . for thereby some have entertained angels unawares) but It 1h of no groat consequence in this case. VV hat Is of prime importance In both a physical and spiritual sense Is that the soldiers shall have every possible means of passing time in a wholosome, diverting, recreational manner made available to them without stint of local custom, And afterward, when the maneuvers are over und the soldiers have departed. let no One attempt to take advantage of the concession that has been made and propose to keep the theaters open. That would be unfair. and in such a case even The News, a long-time advocate of the benefits of recreational Sundays, would be in favor of reverting to the old order Mrs! and from thut point working whatever changes had been found to bo desirable. ? Charlotte News. WHY A "WARLIKE SOUTH" Some of the selectees from "up North"--and a fine bunch they aie, too are asking why the people of South Carolina are so much more strongly for Intervention than people of other section. (The Cnllup poll has consistently showed that the South is more "war-minded") There may he several reasons for this attitude: li The race Is more pure here. I.ess than 1 per cent of South Carolina's population Is foreignhorn. 2? Most of our ancestors were of English. Irish or Scotch-Irish extraction. ?, For many years South Carolina was ?iosely tied to (.real Britain through the cotton trade. And lastly, the South onco saw u war fought on her own territory, und hence she miciit prefer, understandably, 'hilt the next olio he carried to the 0menu Wniiisboro News and Herald OH.

This vicious lusect should tome , under federal control like evorytlilim else. Hasn't It violated the Wage-Hour Law? That In itself is enough for federal Intervention. Hut now comes the crowning blow. Nolllo Robinson, the federal Investigator In charge of alcohol tax unit in South Carolina, reveals the boll weevil Is a dirty compromiser of morals. Their cotton crops eaten up. winter ahead, no meat in the house, more and more small farmers In South Carolina are turning to the production of low cost beverages. The corn crop was relatively good, mud the little Stills are springing tip like mushrooms. And the demand ' for the products of these stills has ' Increased duo to the boost in legal liquor taxes. 1 The whole thing Is being blKmed on the bpol weevil, and rightfully. Everything, in fact, should be blamed tin the boll weevil. It Is a no good 'insect. It should bo under federal control. Anderson Independent.

Itidgeway. and Falr-j ; field which identified him intimately w'lth this section. He was married in ! Winnsboro in l!h>G to Miss Anne Puys! soux Davis, who Is a niece of Mrs. Herbert Huff of Ridgeway. The late ! J oh 11 Quincy Davis, onetime editor of The News and Herald and cashier of The Winnsboro Hank, was the lather of Mrs. Thorite. A man of ability and integrity, he Was a conspicuous success in his chosen field and he died a wealthy man. What Is more unusual he was an honorable man. The following incident is indicative of his character: The lute Benjamin Duke, lubaccu ami power tycoon, once owned a quarry in this section and through a mutual friend he learned that Mr. } Thorite was conversant with the business of quarrying. He asked him to appraise this quarry to ascertain I whether or not It was worth working. Mr. Thorite did so. found it worthless and reported the fact to Mr. Duke. "Then you seM it Tor me." the mag-' nate Is reported to have said. "Mr. Duke." Thorite replied, "1 want you to understand I don't sell worthless property." Duke, for the first .time, looked at Thorite closely, then said: "Young man, I should like to have you work for me." An agreement was reached, and the young man rapidly gained power, wealth and influence. But liis success never dimmed his inherent love for his fellowntan. Honesty, even whero big ntouey is involved, remains the best policy.? Winnsboro News and Herald. J. K. Corbett's I Store Robbed Monday night. September lath. Mr. J. K.

Cox is Praised By Charlotte Scribe Hurke Davis, the versatile sport editor of the Charlotte News went to town lasr Saturday, when in column comment, he really gave Hugh Cox, ihe Camden football sophomore with North Carolina university, a world of praise. In fact. Davis even handed Camden a few state football titles during the time the eminent towhead was listed in the team personnel. Davis discovered a lot of talent in Cox. In addition to being outstanding in football, he was also a dash man In track events, a baseball a< e. star swimmer, and last but not least, a jitterburg king. We ll let Hurke tell about the Camden lad in his own inimitable way. Hero goes: "Chapel Hill.?Today In this shady village tho Brooklyn Dodgers aren't creating much of an uproar. The war is far away.

John Richards McCrae. popular South Carolina baritone singer, of New York, visited relatives here last week, He and Miss Margaret Richards went to Morristown, Tenn,, to give a sacred concert in the church of Rev.

I The 'Senatorial election was held here today (Tuesday) very little interest was shown and only eight votes were cast. On Monday this writer rode with K. C. Jones up to his Cedar Rock farm to see his tine crop of crotalaria. We rode for almost a mile on a plantation road skirted 011 both sides with this valuable soil renovating plant in various degrees of growth and maturity. Some fields planted this year and others reseeded from -former crops. Mr. Jones seems very much pleased with this plant as a soil improver. No anhnal eats it so all of the dense growth?some of it 7 feet high?of leaves and stalks are returned to the land as humus producing material badly needed on mc^t of our cultivated fields. A field a mile long covered with beautiful yellow flowers Is a sight worth a trip to see. We thank Mr. Jones for the privilege. E. Hancock, of Bishopville, Dies Bishopvllle, Sept. 26.?J3.
