FRIDAY, SEPT. 30, 1921. s< 1?-? b< According to the libit) census, which is just out, giving the population of South Carolina several very striking facts are brought out. For one thing there is not very much necessity for any woman to be an old maid, that is not much reason growing out of the fact that there are not men enough to go round. There are 09.2 males to every 100 females In the state, according to the census. It further appears that there are 818.538 whites. 864,719 negroes, 301 Indians, 93 Chinese, 15 Japanese and 55 of all other races. John Wannamaker, one of the big- 4 Rest merchant* in America, sees great z prosperity ahead, provided we can if overcome the "ifs" that block the way " He says: "There will be plenty of work for all if we show our faith, not by re- a laxing our efforts, holding back in fear, putting 011 blue glasses, keeping our money in our pockets, but ^ by making needed improvements,! starting to build and rebuild, buying v and selling?putting to work our energies, our brains, our moneys?everything we have?for the good of the s country. t "Instead of curtailing our advertising, we are enlarging it. Instead of standing pat on our stores as they have been, we are refitting, rearrang- 1 ing, rebuilding and improving their. To do this we have given employment 4 to large bodies of mechanics and oth- t ers day and right." We pass these words on for the reason that we believe there is more , good, common sense in them than all ( the word juggling that is coming out of Washington upon the question of unemployment. If, and if and if?hut ( there is hope, nevertheless. And we believe Mr. Wannamaker is right in his prognostications. 11 In passing we would like to com- i> mend to the merchants what Mr. Wannamaker says about advertising: "Instead of curtailing our advertising n we are enlarging it." " The question of unemploymor.' looms large in this country at this a time, if one can believe the reports coming out of Washington. And the C? government proposes to remedy the situation. But the truth is, it is not a function of government to provide p jobs for jobless men. There has been f too much of that already. When Mr. n Harding will be able to accomplish presidency one of his first moves was to reduce the number of employees at Washington, and to reduce the number of employees on the government s payroll throughout the country. In G that move he was right. There was entirely too much giaft in many posi- ^ tions of the kind. Now. Mr. Harding proposes somehow, .some way to provi/in IaKc f/\v ? WT ~ I- ' ? ?V4V jwwu *'/i VIIV JUUIUM, C oj not one whit of expectation that Mr. | Hardin^ will be able to accomplsh ,b anything?, and for the reason that only ''l ? bt in paternalistic governments can g there be obtained any such results The greatest trouble today with the <,1 country is the unwarranted interfer. i . ,f ence with business on the part of the g government. There has come to be (J ?o much supervision so constant an Sl interference, so many petty rules and 1 so many spies operating under the law (, that business is hampered. The com- ',<l plicated tax return is one case in al point. So, also, is the manner in c? which the child labor laws are en j(] forced. It is the uncertainty that is P< driving men out of business or, at fl|1 least forcing them to reduce. There bo [ arc so mnny technical barriers to bus j,'.", iness that it just cannot forge ahead And from the standpoint of labor the folly is equally manifest. Her- ~" f haps half of those who are today un- ( ^ employed are voluntary idlers. Many of the remaining half are idle because of the tyranny of the labor union sye- j m, which undertakes to set the M?mr of days that a man mXist work, id then undertakes to make room to: I by shortening the hours. The idea ems to be that the way to help is to it production and Increase values in i far as labor is concerned that the >ry potent fact that under such a ocess prices of all commodities will Ivance seems to be overlooked. In our humble judgment Mr. Har-i ng is. working at the wrong end of. ie problem. If the government will lcourage business by just laws gov*ning business, and will honestly en>rce them, business will take care of self. Industry will thrive. Wages ill hold a reasonable level and the >untry will be safe. When the workig man ceases to take his eyes off I Washington and puts them upon his isks, when industry is liberated from s position of unreasonable and unarranted interference, then and only ien may we expect better conditions i the matter of the unemployed, r'hen men without work will be willig to take the hard as well as the >ft job a great step forward will have ?en made. ^Our ^11 ? is a foolish s well as a wicked habit. * * * Our cat says we would be more indly in our judgment of others did to but study our own frailty. * * * Our cat says it is right strange t> iee so much unemployment seeing here is so much to be done. * * * Our cat says the follies of youth no re clearly appear as age advances. * * * Our cat says the more you worry he heavier ycur tasks become. ^ * * * Our cat says the jokes about the nother-in-lawv have brought her into lisrepute. * * * Our cat says fair weather friends losert you when storms arise. * * Our cat says there would be less nemployment if there was less seek lg for easy jobs. * * * Our cat says paternalism in governlent is an evidence of the approachlg end of liberty. * * Our cat says obedience to law marks good citizen. * * 9 Our cat says a boil is always looted in the wrong place. * * * Our cat says that like most poor atriots, he finds himself shaken loose rom his liberty bonds and they are ow advancing in value. * * Our cat says it is a pleasure to meet n honest man.

American Legion Convention Kansas City^ Mo., Sept. 30.?Ac commodations for correspondents, representing the biggest newspapers, magazines and news distributing agencies in the country will be provided during the convention of the American Legion here October 31-1 November 2. The plan devised by the] convention executive committee calls for a press-box the entire length of the stage, with a passage leading under the speakers' stand to a pressroom where typewriters will be provided, together with multigraph machines and operators at specially installed telegraph keys. Newspaper men, provided with cards that vouch for their credentials may go freely back and forth from the press box to the press room. Stenographic reports of the convention proceedings wili be transcribed in "takes" which will be turned over to the American Legion News Service desk, where the copy will be edited down to what might interest the newspaper writer. The edited copy will be sent a page at a tirtib, to the multigraph machine beneath the stage, where it will be stenciled and multigraphed, and the copies sent back to the press box, to be distributed to the news correspondents. Under the plan an adequate running story of the proceedings will reach the press box on an average of twenty minutes behind actual happenings on the convention floor,- according to Chester T. Start, chairman of publicity. For Best Results Use <55V*t LIVE STOCK REMEDIES Sold by Druggists and Dealers Advertise in The Union Times.

W. WOOD, "County Demonstration Agent." 4 Simon Bolivar Museum Opened Lima, Sept. 8.?A cordial reapproachment between the civilized peoples of the so.uthern half of the New World is the urgent and immediate need of today, said President A. B. | Leguia, speaking at the opening of the Simon Bolivar Museum, one of the features of the centennial celebration's. The museum building, tho president recalled^ was the same in which Bolivar, liberator of the northern republics*? South American from Spanish rule, drew up the invitation and bases for the congress of American republics and conceived, more than a century ago, the idea foi a society of nations to serve as a "council in great quarrels and a point of contact in case of comon dangers.' "Such was Bolivar's thought, a which he're took shape and found a happy expression," continued the president. "A century has passed and events have proved for us that the talented liberator was right and foresaw future storms. My government is therefore of the opinion that this occasion and this spot are fitting to once more proclaim, after the lapse of years, the need for a fraternal union?vigorous and sincere?between the peoples descended from the same generous trunk and their union, further, with all the other peoples of America." A new antichthonic league, (composed of people of one hemisphere) the president said, will unquestionably be the "opus which the future conceals from us enshrouded in its impenetrable shadows. But that which today is pressing, the urgent and immediate need^ is a cordial reapproachment between the peoples of this hemisphere and that an effective 'deed of restitution shall extinguish on American soil all intentions of and attempts at conquest."
