Two automoUe accidents in two
days, one of which resulted fatally
and the other a serious if not r atai
one, was the record in Florence Sat
unlay and Sunday. The distressing
part of it all i- - that the victim in
each case wa- a little child, one five
and the ot-hor eight years of age.
Both were run down by cars driven
by negroes at a reckless rate of speed.
Mow long, 0 Lord, are we going to i
permit such occurrences- in a up-
posedly civilized and Christian com
monwealth ?
Sunday afternoon the whiter
-was walking along .Main Street and
his attention was attracted by a ear
being driven at aTtmid rate of speed
by a negro He was traveling
between 20 and 25.miles an hour on
the paved part of that thoroughfare
and after leaving the .pavement he
.“opened up.”. By the time he reache]
the middle of the next block, in the
residence section, he was going no*
less than .‘lO lo 35 miles an hour.
Little children play on the hide-
walks along this particular street, as
well as on other streets of the t >wrv
Are we going to allow irresponsible
negroes to endanger their lives? The
writer noted the license number on
the car and reported the matter re
ferred to above to the loeal aut’iiori-
ties. A few stiff fines would probably
curb the practice.
Don’t Be a Quitter.
As was to be expected, the psycho
logical effect of the recent bank fail
ures in "this section is about-as had
as the finapcial less to depositors and
stockholders, thus making a bad situ
ation much worse. Too many people
too willingly adopt the “what’s the
use” attitude and acknowledge de
feat before the fight begins. ■ That’s
a very bad mental condition, indeed,
and one that certainly will not help
in getting hack on the* roacf to. pros
perity.
There have been bank failures in
the pant, hut few were financially hurt
permanently except those who did
not have the spunk and backbone to
“buckle down'’ and work. Don’t be
i , (
a quitter. If you are one of the un
fortunates who lost, don’t spend your
time bewailing your misfortune
but work just that much hat'd or to
recoup your los-es. ‘‘One swallow
does not make a summer” ( >r a
drunk) and “there are just as hip
fish in the sea as have ever been
caught,” to use'two time-worn meta-
phors. Hard work is abm^ir'gnbiTway^
to keep one’s mind from brooding
over trouble.
Remember this: The work of the
world is going on. Another crop :s
going to be made next year. The

the ir support of •the campaign closing
this year and the 1925 program,” was
' opened by Rev. .1. G. Martin, followed
by Key. Wni. Jones and Rev. O. ,1.

discussed. —•
Ad journment was taken for dinner,
after which the union reassembled.
Following a -song service, the third
topic, “Are our churches meeting tlv
present day spiritual demands made
on them?—if not why,” was^opened
by Rev. Wm. Jones. Some good spir

topic by Revs. O. J. Frier and J. (h
Martin.

CITATION NOTICE.
How He Accomplished It
Sir Eric (Jeddes once remarked that
before doubting any statement a man
may make, no matter how seemingly
Incredible it sounds, one should be
quite sure as to its precise meaning.
In order to illustrate his contention
he w ent on to instance the case’of a
friend of his who knew a little about
‘Do You Believe in Santa ( bills?
ft
Some years ago a little girl named
Virginia wrote to the New York c un
asking if there was really a Santa
Claus, saying': “Papa says, Tf vou
jcoe it in The Sun, it is true.’” The
Sun’s answer has been piiuted in so
many papers and magazines that it
has come to be known as ‘ The Sun’s
better to Virginia.” It is as foll.wvs:
“Yes, Virginia, there is a Sa ita
Claus. He exists as certainly as Jove
and generosity and devotion "'xist,
and you know that they abound and
give your life its highest^fleauty ind
joy. Alas, how dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa Claus!
If would be as dreary as if there wore
no Virginias. There would be no
childlike faith, no poetry, no romance
We should have no enjoyment except
jn sensrand sigVit.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire nen
to watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, hut
even if they did not see him, what
would that prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus, but that is no sign there
is no S^nta Claus. Did you ever see
the fairies dancing on the lawn? Of
even as slit .plainly told him how she
regarded him. He did not wonder that
his close, friend, Elmer Hayes, was
finding her beauty almost mesmeriz
ing—her dark hair, Qih-k and lustrous,
made even more uiqisual and appeal
ing the odd goldenrtint of her eyes.
“I understand your feeling,’’ he said
calmly, “but I also know that you
have stepped In between the girl to
whom he is engaged ami with whom
he would be happy—” j
She laughed her metallic laugh that
was far from the velvety affair she
used with Elmer. “How do you know
that?’’
“You know very well, yourself. You
are *simp)y playing with Elmer—Just
ns 1 am aware you have \yith others.
You are shallow* treacherous, and
you’ll come pretty close to wrecking a
fine chap and a fine girl’s happiness!”
“I’ooh, Wells. It is unfortunate that
you end 1 happened to grow up to-
geflier. As for Elmer, I like him.'’
“The point Is—would you marry
him?”
“That Is iqy business, my friend.
Now you better goT”
When Wells reached the apartment
he sharedWllh Elmer, he found the
latter busy with a small package
which fie was undoing.
—“Lojuk^nt this,-old man . Lsir'i that
a. beauty?” Eimer asked, ids tine sen
sitive face lighting. . - >
He held up a necklace, exquisitely
wrought, just the kind to adorn a
round, white, beautiful throat.
Wetls gasped. “It’s a beauty, Ed.
For Ruth, I suppose.” ,
Elmer's face 'banged. “Er—no. I
got it for Verna.”.
“But—” - —

but that’s who gets it.”
“All right! then, hut are you sure
you wart fi* give up Ruth?”
Elmer leaned back, bis eyes «dnrk-

bear to think of giving’ Imr up—»+qd
yet Verna-r-wcll, hang if, Verna gets
