We live today upon the hopes of things to come tomorrow.
o
The only key to the mysteries of the future is the history
of the past.
o
Many men will forget more over night than they can learn
over again in a day.
o
Mind has a whole lot to do with the body but not all, Coue to
the contrary notwithstanding.
o
It is useless to expect a man to view a thing from any other
angle except that from which he is looking.
o
Rubbers are useful for keeping the feet dry when it rains, but
they only show up when the weather is dry.
o
Self confidence is truly a great thing to have in this life but
it cannot amount to much without ability to back it up.
o
Good tobacco plants are necessary if a fine tobacco crop is to
be produced. Try to have good plants to start the crop with.
o
Homemade fertilizers are the most profitable for the farmer,
but he uses less and less of these. He delights in buying what
he uses.

Joy riding is harder on automobiles than the bad roads of the
country, but by the exercise of the one the other gets in its
damage, . ..

t v/
There is always an explanation for an automobile wreck that
is different from any kind of mistake or carelessness on the part
of the driver..
o
Coue's rules mean to be satisfied and content no matter what
the conditions, but how could this be applied universally and the
world make any further progress? It is dissatisfaction with
things as they are that causes mankind to make improvements.
o
The man who is paid a salary may be glad when rainy and
cold days come that will keep' him from work, but not so wit!
the man who is paid for only what time he actually works. The
boot is then on the other foot.
o
It would be well if some man could find a key to success and
wealth that did not take in as one of the essentials, good oldtime
hard work. Even the richest gold mine in the world has to
be discovered and worked before it will produce anything of
value.
o
The people of Lexington County got so hot in after their delegation
in the General Assembly that the latter took steps at
once to abolish the office of rural police men. Whiskey stills
will have a better show as soon as the rural police are out of
the way.

.... * A" !
There is much reading in the newspapers at the present tiiru;
concerning the Ku Klux Klan.
It is a secret order which has a secret membership and which
has, as a 'part of its regalia, a mask, usually described as white
but at times said to be black.
It has enjoyed free advertising during the last year. The free
advertising began when the New York World and a number of
other papers undertook to publish to the world the teachings ol
the other, its plan of operation, and such other facts as the papers
could gather.
Ever since that time the advertising has gone on without
limit, in one way or another, whether justly or unjustly, the
Klan has been mixed up in affairs at many different places in the
country. To such places the big dailies have sent special correspondents
to gather the news and column after column has
appeared.
XT~ ?l - A " '
iimuei wnat eise tnis publicity has done it has resulted in
advertising the existence of the fraternity in every nook and
comer of this wide United States.
As'the membership is secret, or evidently intended to be secret,
the way is made easy for anybody to act as if they may
belong to it; and therefore entitled to take unto themselves the
attributes of a subject or even the role of a subordinate ruler in
the so-called Invisible Empire; and under the guise of such s

claim, while remaining in the dark, aim threats and intimidations
at others who may be frightened and prevented from car- ,
rying out their rights under our visible form of government.
The outcropping of this false claim to membership in the or- i
ganization has been going on in other states for a longer time j
i than it has here. It took longer for the rank and file to find i
out about these things in Horry County. Since they began to t
i find it out several months ago by readng and hearing stories 5
coming across the country the air has been almost full of flying j
| notes signed, "K. K. K." t
Under the circumstances, as they are, nobody knows who is 1
a member, and even known members have denied that they belong
to it; and it appears, according to information from reli- ]
able sources that under authority of the head body in Atlanta,
there is being organized, or already functioning, a select mem- J
bership of leading men in different towns whose identity is un- ,
known to members of the local Klans, and it is also said that 1
these select members cannot disclose their identity to members
of the local klans except under certain strict conditions.
.These things are mentioned here to show that no man can afford
to become a member of a secret order that is being charged <
with every wrong thing that is being done. If a man is law
abiding and making a good citizen, he does not wish to be re- t
garded as anything else but that. Should he join this order he j
stands a fair chance to be charged with having posted a skull 1
and cross bones at his neighbor's gate. The community may 1
have a horrible murder and he is charged with having been re- ]
sponsible for it because it comes in some way that he was a i
member of the Klan. ]
No matter how good the intentions of the order may be, no <
matter how good the men who have organized it, and no matter
what their zeal may be in the direction of putting down lawlessness,
the fact remains that the order must enforce its rulings
by force that is unlawful. They can warn and keep on
warning but in case warnings are unheeded, then only force that
is unlawful can be used to carry out the decrees.
It has now become a common practice to send letters through
the mail with threatening or intimidating matter contained in
the same. In some cases notices are posted up at gates and on
doors as has been frequently reported in the public prints. It is
not definitely known that the Klan uses this method of delivering
warnings especially in such a promiscous way, and in the
opinion of the people, the Klan is not responsible for the flood of
such communications now being sent and received in sections of
this country.
It is to be hoped that the matter will end with the sending of
such missives.

HARDING'S REPUTATION AT STAKE
Washington, along with the rest of the country, is awaiting tc
see whether President Harding's next move in the vindicatior* '
of the men and women discharged under a cloud from the Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing, nine months ago, will includ
not only the restoration of these former employees t
their former positions, but a public rebuke to those who i
duced him to sanction their dismissal in the first instance.
It has been felt all along that President Harding was deceived
by Republican politicians when he approved the summary removal
of these thirty-odd men and women from their jobs and
in addition left them under suspicion of dishonesty. There arc
many who have been willing to believe that the President would
never have issued the executive order discharging these civil service
workers if he had not been persuaded that he was ridding
the government of dishonest or incompetent employes.
Now that an official inquiry has cleared these men and women
of all wrong-doing and shows them to have been the victims
of a scheme to make spoils of their jobs, it is expected that PresJlent
Harding will not stop with their mere reinstatement to civil
service status. The general belief is that Mr. Harding ought
in some fashion to discipline the men who tricked him into committing
what is nqw disclosed to have been a grave injustice
against innocent persons.
Senator Caraway (Dem. Ark.) is generally regarded as having
deserved the chief credit for compelling the investigation
which nas exonerated these dismissed employes, and it is
thought that his eloquent and persistent demands for their reinstatement
as well as their exculpation will prove successful.
Most of the discharged employes have suffered long periods of
unemployment or have been obliged to take jobs at lesser sala;ies
than 'they received in the Bureau. This is particularly true
of the women, whose experience in the manufacture of currency
:;nd bonds for the government, is of little value to private employers.
The reputations of these faithful employes have been cleared.
It is now President Harding's reputation which is in the balance.

Prof. J. I. Falconer from the faculty of Ohio State University because
he recently uttered what they regarded a$ heretical opinons
concerning the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff. The
attack on Prof. Falconer has served to give general publicity to
iiis statements, which originally attracted only passing notice.
Prof. Falconer is head of the department of rural economics
of Ohio State University. He was one of the many experts who
attended the annual meeting of the American Farm Economics
i Association in Chicago. y
"Farming interests were handed a gold brick, with an exi
ceedingly thin veneer, in tHe present tariff law," said Prof. Fal
coner. "When tit comes to agricultural products, America is an
exporting nation. With a tariff ban put on mercantile imports
from such countries as England, these other countries will turn
' their trade, including their imports of agricultural products, to
* other nations, such as Argentina/'
t For this frank statement of the plain economic facts Prof. Falconer
is being hounded by Republican politicians.
