THURSDAY JUNE 22, 1922 ************************** * * 5 THE MAN DECIDES ? * * ************************** Men can succeed at any useful trade, work or business. Success depends upon the man and not upon the trade, woVk or business. Show me the man and I can tell you whether he is a success or not without asking what his trade, work or business is. Why do I say this? I say it because there are successful men and plenty of them in all the trades, all kinds of work, and in all kinds of honest business. If there were some honest and useful trade, work or business in which we could not find successful men and women, then we would not make the assertion. A man's success in anything he undertakes depends upon the way the man feels about it and tbe determination he makes at the start, If he starts out in a half-hearted way as if he did not care whether he did his best or not, you may mark down his -Fr?ll O 1*411 ii^iil uicic tinvi men. oucceiSM ui men and women never start that way. They first determine that they will succeed. Then they work to that end in all thing's possible. They leave nothing' undone that will tend to the goal they wish to reach. Their minds are keyed up to the place where they can think of nothing else. Distractions never come to them because they will not let distractions in. They keep an- eye single to the results they want to attain and they go to it, if you will allow me to use a slang expression. There are successful farmers, bakers, barbers, real estate men, agents, brokers, tinkers, rag pickers, beggars, and even rascals who do not follow an henest calling. We know this is so because we find it so, and it has been so ever since' the world was made and man started to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Now if some men succeed no matter what they happen to try in this world, it stands to reason that other men ought to do the same thing. The first thing for a young man to decide when he is about to get his sheepskin and start out for himself in the world, is to decide whether lie is to find pleasure in his work or seek pleasure in some other way. lie must ...i. i._ j - t- - - ubuiw wucwicr jiu is 10 ne a success or a failure. It all depends upon Mm. not npon his father, or his mother or brother. He is the end and the all of his own particular indentit.v. He cannot escape the decision. He makes i. either the one way or the other. Those who decide that they musl do something: will lay out their d,uih lives quite different from the one? who decide that they do not care Some will decide that luck will brine: them all that they want. Others seem to know that they must work it out and they go about accomplishment in the right way. This is a lesson that every man must learn if he lives in this world and learns anything at all. o * * I EDITORIAL ITEMS % **************************** Look for the direct route to success. Cut out the wild goose chases. o Conway has room for several kinds of business not now being conducted here. o The rains damaged the crops of this county fully 25 per cent in some places. o 11t ' - we must try to reach our ends the nearest way and thus make good use of our time. o Conway has her drawbacks, but these all come through us who make up the town. o When times are easy it is the right time to prepare for the hard time that is coming. o Trying t? cross bridges before getting to them is what brings on much worry in some lives. o We can make of our town what we choose. We will never make of it whatwe do not try to make it. ?o You cannot stop water from running down hill except bv a dam. and even a dam will not stop it entirely. o Some men will require volumes to tell what they think they know and even then they have not told anything. ??o The enforcement of prohibition, such as it is, is turning out to be the most expensive thing we have ever tried to do. Conway is enjoying some splendid growth by the extension of her industrial facilities. This will bring much greater benefits later on. o What is the best remedy for the nan who will persist in talking you to death on subjects that hold no interest for you ? Ask him to please .:ush .and go on. o Some never find any good in the oresent and expect none in the future. They ,?.re always living in the past, which thev nraise and do not seem able to look ahead any. o Whiskey used to bring in much money to the public treasury. Now it is always taking out, and this amounts to more than it formerly put in it. We have not gained anything. o There is always room at either the bottom or the top. The big middle ground is always full of those who will not allow themselves to go downward on the ladder, and who never have the ambition to climb any higher. o FLAPPER IS BUT A SPOKE IN THE CYCLE "What is going to happen to our young folks?" asks the Literary Digent in its current issue. If we had replied, and we didn't, our answer would have been something like this: The young folks are going to grow up, and then start worrying about the young folks! Yes, the younger generation is in peril. And so is the older generation. We are all in danger, but the probability is we are no more in jeopardy th,an the various generations of men were some millions of years ago in the Neolithic age, or in any other age ' Mil I 1 KIO mitl > ^lltu CCI1 L I 1\_ I 1 clllll now. The question is the eternal and eternally recurrent one of the moral decadence of the vital, pulsating, active human majority that persists in reacting- naturally to the pagan "joy of living." The Literary Digest itself has shown us that the flapper had her day a century ago; the Boston museum has on exhibition a bobbed-hatir who "vamped" (he Egyptian swains in the year 3,000 R. C. The modern flapper is not a new breed, but simply a spoke in the eternal cycle of timo. For the benefit of our blue-spectacled friends we will recall a few facts of more recent origin. Few cf us are too young to remember the lecturers of a few years back who warned against the evils of the corset. Now that the poor dears are going corset-ess, the reformers are pl.aving the opposite side of the same record, .lust two summers ago we were editorializing on the ear puffs which existed then to the great disadvantage of (he soap manufacturer. Now the girls are wearing bobbed hear, which is a great deal cooler and more sensible, and serves the same purpose to tiie paragrapher. Our greatest ambition used to be to play a saxophone, but jazz of the delirium tremens type is dead now, the cows have their bells back, and the populace is snoring in peace. We view the panorama of life quite optimistically. Perhaps some of our voung people are being corrupted by .he modern dances and the modern ityle of dress for the female of the <pecies. But we rather believe that ;uch of them as are being corrupted y these things would be just as bad' ziAi'in nf a/I litr n) i n \ ^'71 1 U|M C.VI I J > >iV/t I I vl I I I I *JI.

There is i certain element that is always coruptible. and that is always trying to \e corrupted by something or other, ;nd it doesn't make much difference what it is that corrupts 'hem. There good and bad in every generation; t simply manifests itself in different ways. The world isn't per feet now; it never has been and it never will be. Probably the Lord didn't mean it to be or He would have so ordained it. Somehow it seems that a little reaction in styles and manners is necessary to make the world go round, for folks born with an itch for reforming must be provided with material to work on. But, finally, to be quite candid, we know nothing of the toxic or intoxicating effect of the toddle or shimmy, having never tried them ourselves.?Tampa Times . o ? John H.

Still Delayed by Appeal "Sheriff, can't you take these shackles off me? I don't like being led around like a cow." "You are not being led around like a cow, Mr. Bigham. And I am only exercising such precaution as the law requires me to do." "Well, you can ask Mr. Maxey and the vest of them, who brought me back to Florence, whether I gave them any trouble." "That's quite different, Mr. Bigham. You were being brought down here under entirely different circumstances compared to the circumstances under which wou are going back to Columbia. I don't want to kill you. But if you had the opportunity and make a break I would kill you. I would not shoot just to maim you." A little later on: "Mr. Sheriff, when are you going to bring me back to Florence?" "When the supreme court denies your appeal and orders you back here for resentencing." Such is the extent of the conversation and most important remarks of Edmund D. Bigham on the trip to Columbia to re-enter the death house, where he will await his execution on Friday, July 14. He was delivered safely without incident by Col. Burch, as sheriff of Florence county, to the superintendent of the state penitentiary. Early on the trip, Bigham remonstrated with Sheriff Burch about the shackles which were placed on him a> a matter of precaution in handling any prisoner in the desperate circumstances of Bigham. Some way up the road 'Bigham ventured the query as to when he would be brought back to Florence. Upon -arrival at the state penitentiary, Bigham was taken immediately to that section of the building that is set aside especially for men under sen(pneo nf flf'tli It is Imhwii o'onnvr* 11' as the death house. Save by lega' technicalities, there is no hope for one who enters it?the electric chair is the only way out. Deputy Joe Connor made the trip with Col. Burch and Bigham. Mr. Connor and Bigham occupied the Kick seat while the sheriff rode the front seat with the driver of the car. While Bigham has appealed again to the supreme court, with seemingly the hope only of deferring the day of doom,, a special hearing of the appeal is possible and in such event would not even accomplish a delay now. In event the appeal is perfected and the case has to go through the usual courses of the argument and decision in the supreme court, Bigham will not be executed in July. Ir. such event he would have to be brought back to Florence, either for resentencing or new trial, according to the decision of the supreme court. Court attaches do not believe there is the remotest possibility of a new trial now. o NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the decree and judgment of the court made by his honor, S. W. G.

Horry County 3-9-16t ) ' 3WWAY, S. P., JUNE 21, 1922 POISON COOKED WITH THE MASH Sheriff Burch of Florence County Gets Big Stilling Plant Sheriff Burch of Florence county looked often, looked hard, looked seriously and solemnly?and, at last, successfully! He got what he has been looking for. Peter Flynn! Peter Flynn is a negVo. But he's no ordinary negro, though he's as black as newspaper ink. Peter is alleged to have been, once upon a time, the owner of the biggest conicercial moonshine outfit ever known in this section of South Carolina. He js otherwise known as Peter Marks, of Darlington county. As a matter of fact, he was established so nearly "betwixt and between" Florence and Darlington counties that he could [ change his residence at pleasure?or upon immediate emergency, according to whose officers were bothering him just then. One may judge something of the hugeness of this still by the fact that Col. Burch has had the copper boiler part of the still worked into a desk for his office. One side of the stil! sufficed to cover the top of a big office table desk. Tt was deep enough tlv\t the desk was virtually built inside the caldron. As soon as the sheriff receives the glass top for the desk he will have his relic placed in his office in the county jail. The inside of this still was so coated with slimy verdigris that the copper was not to be seen anywhere. As the operators got ready to make a run. they poured their mash right in with .ill this highly virulent poison and cooked it all together. That's what consumers of moonshine liquor are drinking today, said Col. Burch. o CALOMEL GOOD RUT AWFUL TREACHEROUS dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the hones and should never he put into your system. If you feel bilious, headachey, constipated and all knocked out, just *ro to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel ^nd without mnkino* von vmi incr tro hnr-k I O "* ' iJ J ? " tl" and get your money. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and Vou feel great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and cannot salivate.?Adv. FIRE ALARM The usual fire alarm was sounded hy the whistles at the light and power plant last Wednesday evening ahout dusk. The fire department was cal'ed out with the fire fighting machinery and hunted for the fire, hut did not find any. It is said the alarm had been caused by a small blaze at the residence of the chief of police, E. E. Dusenbury, but was quickly distinguished after the alarm was given. Numbers of automobiles and a crowd of people looked for the fire, but did not find any. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Burch and Mr. and Mrs. B:;tt'o Burch left this morning for Myrtle Beach. They will attend the formal opening this evening of the Myrtle Beach Yacht Club and remain at the beach over the weekend.?Florence Times.
