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

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.

The enforcement of prohibition,

Whiskey used to bring in much
money to the public treasury. Now
it is always taking out, and this

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'

ibsence of the toddle and tho shimmy
ind the abbreviated skirts. 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

THE HORRY HERALD, C<
HAS A TERROR
OF HIS BONDS
Bigham Wanted to Know if
Sheriff Could Remove
Shackles
HE NOW AWAITS DOOM
Electric Chair is Without
Doubt His Portion. 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.

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.

remained on the desk of Governor R.

and the matter has been passed over
to the new governor. But the act i.still
unsigned by tho governor.
The act was passed at the reciuest
of citizens of IVIurrell's Inlet. The
neck can be easily fenced off from the
rest of the county. As the Herald
I understands it the intention of the
J law was to allow the people to*put
j up this fence 011 tho county line or
1 near that point and keep the woods
therein as a community pasture. The
act provided that all the people living
within the area must consent to the
arrangement.
