Woodward, Conway, S. C. THURSDAY APRIL 27,"1922 THE COMMONPLACE The lecture delivered l>y ,7. William Terry last week at the Chautauqua, entitled. "The Spirit of the! Colonist" was dry in spots, but contained many ideas that are indeed worthy of consideration. There was mixed up in the discourse a number of illustrations from every day life which the lecturer used to show the romance that there is in the commonplace things \\Je do and see and hear every day of our lives. The theme of the loc ure was based upon the ambition and preseverance of the colonists who came over to this country and braved the hardships that attended the development of a new land. The lesson taught by the lecture comes in tlie realization that the one who takes great pride in what he or she is doing in this world and tried to do it the very best he can, and is ever striving to make improvement and render better service, is getting all there is to be had out of life and finds true romance in the commonplace things. Among the things he mentioned is the romance of the cooking | stove and referred to the busy housewife who goes on year and year making the same old dishes in the same old way and compared that kind of a housewife with the one who found joy in her task by producing some new dish and trying some new recipe and making her work a great joy instead of a great drag. a * 4 K \tfoe mup 1i fond UCl lis repeal ur-ic mv.v... . for thought in what the lecturer said Most of us must go through life filling places that lack a whole lot of being at the head of the list of high callings and avocations. We mils' find success in those or not at all We must be happy in <he perform ance of these humble tasks or not happy at all. Great it is when we take such a pride and interest in what we do, no matter how simple and low the service, that we find happiness in doing it and in carrying on from day to day to our final destiny, constantly striving to improve ,and better the work we do. When men and women look at their ^vork in such a way then we will have a country full of artists, yes artists, even in the commonest walks of life and they will be men and women who are worth having'. Things like the chautauqua get th<? ypeople together and get them to thinking and this is the reason why they keep on coming back. Anything th.at will make men and women* think will 'VIo them good.

B. COOPER T ast week by the resignation of Ion. A. S. Lever a place became vavint on the Farm Loan Board. The vany friends of W. B. Cooper of Wilmington, N. CM the president of American Bank & Trust Company, urged him to applv for appointment to the place. He decided to do so. A news item from Washington to The Wilmington Star under date of April 18, stated that Mr. Cooper was in Washington at that time seeking the appointment for this position. It ilso stated in the news item that Senators Overman and Simmons of North Carolina would urge the President to give the position to Mr. Cooper, who is a Democrat and a Southerner, and upon the ground Ithat the place belongs to Mr. Cooper on that ground. Friends of Mr. Cooper throughout this -oction of South Carolina as well as throughout the eastern part of North Carolina were all busy 'for the last few d/iys doing what thev could in :bo interest of Mr. Cooper's appointment on this hoard. It is the place Tor which Mr. Lever quit Congress in order to accept, but he is now at tlie head of a new bank in Columbia, S. C.. and resigned from the board last week. HERALDSTILL HAVING HOPES The Herald has been interested in the application of Lieut. Governor W. B. Cooper for appointment on the Farm Loan Board and sent telegrams l ist week to both Senator Dial and Senator Smith asking them to urge the President to appoint Mr. Cooper. The Herald has received letters from both Senators reading as follows: April 20, 1022 Mr. H. H. Woodward, Conway, S. C. My Dear Mr. Woodward: In< answer to your wire I beg to state that I am already committed to another for this position. Further I understand that the place has been promised. However, T know Mr. Cooper would make an exceedingly able member of the board and 1 will keep his name in mind and if circumstances should so shape themselves and 1 could assist him I would be glad to do so. With kind regards, and assuring you 1 am always glad to serve you in any way I can, 1 am Yours trulv, N. B. DIAL. April 20, 1922 Mr. H. H. Woodward, Editor, The Horry Herald, My Dear Mr. Woodward: Your telegram of t'ic 10th instant in behalf of Lieut. Governor VV. B. Cooper to succeed Mr. Lever received i? Senator Smith's absence. Senator Smith is confined to his home with illness and will probably not be in his office until next week, at which time your telegram will be brought to his attention.

Prof. Friday lias recently made a study of the New York traction situation and in his book just published 1 on the subject he reaches the obvious conclusion tlv.it unless traction companies are permitted an earning sufficient to attract investors they c.ainot obtain the money for needed extensions to their lines or such added facilities to their service us will permit he building up of new residence addi 1 'ions or suburban localities. Consequently the population must crowd into a comparatively small area and higher rents will naturally prevail. Mr. Friday shows the tremendous Increase in the general price level that has occurred since the war. Taking the 1913 price level as 100 per cent, commodity prices have increased 22('? nei- cent, lie says. Public utility rates, including; those of telephones, telegraphs and other utilities, increased an average of but IS per cent during' the same period, he says. In the meantime, he points out, operating expenses, including' the wage: paid employes, prices paid for materials and taxes paid have increased much more rapidly than the gross earnings of the utilities. Such companies are therefore compelled to pa; for what they buy on a price level more than twice as high as it was in 1013, while they must sell what they have to sell on a basis of the 1913 level, or at least only slightly higher. Commenting on Mr. Friday's study of the traction situation, an official of the State Telephone Association states that the comments apply equally as well to the telephone industry. The next two years, says this telephone < man, should properly see a greatei amount of new telephone construction in this country than any five years preceding, to make up for the lack of extensions during the war and to provide facilities for the growing population. Whether or not this work car. be done depends upon the attitude of the public and regulatory bodies toward the rates allowed the companies. Unless these rates are made commensurate with present costs of operating, telephone companies can not finance needed new extensions and additional facilities, and the new suburban sub-division or additions to the city may have to go without telephones. The situation is much more en- . couraging to the utilities, however, . say many public utility men, since the nnnnla on^ tlin r:11 p-lYYfl ki nir bodies al j /vjvy u i uiim VIIV^ > ???>, ? 0 most everywhere are seeing the necessity for proper support of their utilities. In many places new sched ulos of utility ratos, more in keepiiu with present conditions, have already been approved and put into etVect. ? o CALOMEL USERS TAKE AWFUL RISK Very Next Dose of Treacherous Druj May Start Terrible Salivation The next dose of calomel you take may salivate you.

ARE YOU NERVOUS ? Maybe There is a Cause For It That You Can Correct. Many who sulTer from backache and weak kidneys are unnaturally irritable, fretful and nervous. Not only does constant backache "get on the nerves," but bad kidneys fail to eliminate all the uric acid from the system, and uric acid irritates the nerves, keeping one "on edge," and causing rheumatic, neuralgic pains. When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney Pills, the medicine so well recommended by - ' - TI 1 j.L:~ *, Conway people. neau mis resident's statement: Mrs. M. K.
