He was an old man that meant little to the business world and absolutely nothing in the world to the men who are and were behind the movement/’—Excerpt from state ment of Sheriff James H. Bailey of Beaufort County, published in The News and Courier Saturday morning. Truly a remarkable statement from an officer of the law. Bettison who was 68 years of age was killed last week by a young furniture dealer named Brown. According to reports sent out from Beaufort, the crime was a most brutal one, exciting great indignation among the citisens, who were also considerably exorcised ov er the fact that Brown was not im mediately lodged in the county jail tt being alleged that he was allowed to stay at the sheriff's house. It was in an attempt to justify his posi tion that Sheriff Bailey issued the a- bove statement. Have we reached such a pass in South Carolina that only those who limit crimes against people who are itnent ia the business or serial world are to be treated as criminals? As we understand the law. homicide or murder is net merely s crime a- gaiaet the mas killed or his family, but ia s crime agalnet organised the lew. where property lakes ns dMiartma bet**** high end lev. the rirS the peer The mere fact thst cared saytking shout H# was sa old mas that llttb te the basis mi weeW* «e at ail why hr# alleged eiay he accorded say different that psoseees the rwh maa Bl'rmtKf) IS pewtart too rtttses ef this great sssi H M s end earn- ear < hr%et<as cm'Isa- offerer ef the lau ea i.as news suatrary but be| that as It may, ha cannot coBretvs of any sort off Democrat ‘'rejoicing at the election of Harding!"

It is brewed in the swamps of Barnwell and adjoining counties and there are some who say that if Volstead could be induced to take a drink of it at its worst he would be horrified at this crime against civilization. There have been numerous speculations. as to the origin of the name, but none seem to be authentic. Inasmuch as one guess is as good as another, we advance the theory that, in the year B. V. which can be freely trans lated into plain English as “Befoie Volstead Did”) certain wise men saw that the passage of the 18th a- mendment was inevitable and began to cast about for a substitute for tlfe “0 be joyful” that was destined at an early date to be merely a fragrant memory^ In their extremity they brewed a drink from tussock grass, which is found in these parts in a- bundance. “Tussock” probably de generated into “tussic.” If our brother editors have any further ewiosity along this line, we invite to come down to Barnwell and first hand information " < by Dv V M «# RarwwoR.

'4 Many are the fancies that mas querade under the name of love, it may take a lifetime to prove the real but the sure test is always, “By their works shall ye know them.” [ Real love is positive and strong. It is thoughtful and understanding and wise. ^ . % - The mother who yields to the in sistent teasing of her child for too many sweets, too many toys, too many joys, proves not love, but a weak will. • The father who can deny his fam ily no present want who yields so easily to impulsive demands of the moment that ho time nor substance is left for-the future, has something to learn in his loving., Often it takes greater love to say “No” than “Yes.” If you only guaranteed one loaf of bread a day for the future of your family, in case they were forced to live without you, would you prove great love? vRljOOO.OO invested at 6 per cent, would earn interest enough to buy one loaf of bread a day. $10,000.00, invested in the same way, would guarantee $50.00 a month. It may interest you to use this scale to measure your love for your family. Is their future as well pro tected as their present? How much monthly income would the total of your life insurance guarantee to your loved ones? The Life and Casualty Special Ordinary Life Policy will help you prove your love. A man of 86 caira^ ca^ry $100,000.00* for $2,055.00 a year; $10,000.00 is only $205.00, less than $20.00 a month. * The Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennesxae Is guarding the future for many women and children throughout the South, prov ing the love of many men for their families. Life insurance is love in action, someone has said. Real love is dynamic. To love is to do for. There is no such thing as selfish love. A man proves great love and great strength when he denies himself and his family the lesser wants of the day that the whole of life may be normal and right. R. B.
