“Nobody here cared anything a
bout Bettison. 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-

it known, tuasic is a beverage im

tion!?) of the inner man and is not,
as The Star erroneously suggests,
an article of wearing apparel for the
adornment of lovely woman. 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 " <

LOVE.
'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.
