Also be sure that your debts will sooner <jr later find you out. It is the practice of some to neglect ttheir debts/ Some men and w. nen will make debts, kndwiig at the time thftt they are unable to pay and likely t-o remain unable to pay; but they make the debts just the same. Sooner or later they wake up to the fact that they have got them to pay or allow a judgment to be recorded against them. Still they belong to that neglectful class who do not look after their own siTairs to that extent that they should .and let the case go by default and the judgment recorded. For a long time yet they may remain apparently unmindful of an obligation until one fine <lav it becomes apparent to them at Bast that owing to the judgment which they allowed to be recorded against their estate, they are prevented from gaining some desired end. Truly, these bad debts that men and women make will find them out sooner or later, and this is as it should be. Just.nowJn Horry County there are mem who would give much if they <could call back a few years and have another chance to make different arrangements about their affairs. They are owing old debts that are now in the shape of judgments. They neplectoH the debts back yonder when flie debts did not amount to much. The creditor sued and the sheriff and the clerk added their fees, and perIhaps an attorney's fee was also added in to the amount and when the ?lerk at the court house turned to Ms i judgment book and placed the pronouncement of the court on the records, the judgment draws interest l5y law at the rate of seven per cent. This interest has been running ever since ,and the amount has about doubled from that cause 'alone. There is nothing in the world that can cause more aggravation and remnorse than the re?ord against a loan "which shows judgments taken there against him for his honest obligations made with honest men that he would mot pay nor try to compromise; and in - . _\i - ?Ki. r KIa later years, wnen ne to do something, these records stand in his way and he is still ke] t down II i Plans ari three-day Ra It will cc of the seating be cool and ii the country, and home bu mon ground, I I I in the world. These judgments, however, which men allow to get on the record against them by reason of neglecting to pay what they owe, will injure in another way. They are often the reason for turning a man down for a good position. Why deal with men who will not pay what they owe when there are plenty of men and women not in debt who need the jobs just as bad and really want to get those jobs to enable them to remain in the debt pay class ? There are times when even the subject himself is unaware of the secret search which his wouldbe employer makes of the records at the court house before giving an applicant a final answer. All these facts which we have imperfectly stated show that it pays every man and every woman to make no debt that they c,unnot pay promptly. That matter of paying is one of the most important things to teach the growing boy and girl. This is one thing hardly ever taught or even mentioned as to that matter. in the schools, of our country. The boy or girl just ready to take a position with some business house should be taught the rules of honest conduct in contracting debts and paying them on the very minute when those debts are due. The man or the woman who expects to live in any community and get the most of it out of others who will extend to them the ready credit they want, are the worst kind of people that community can have. Sooner or later this class of man or woman becomes marked as one who will not pay. Credit is justly denied to him or her and it is a state of existence that is not very pleasant to those who have to endure it. Nothing raises the confidence that we feel in another more than his promptness in meeting his obligations. o CLEAN-UP TIME Spring Su^estions to Producers and Consumers of Dairy Products.

The grand jury also recommended that the officials be removed from office and requested the Congressman of the district to take their removal up with the proper authorities. The Chamber of Commerce had requested the grand jury to make the investigation. When asked why the men had not been arrested, Sheriff Rector this afternoon said that Ernest F. Cockrum, Federal district attorney, had asked him not to arrest the agents before the end of the week as they were needed as witnesses in Federal court, which is in session here at this time. ?nerirt uector stated that he expected the agents to appear and make bond pear.

"Rejolved, further, that the Repreresentative of this district in Congress, Mr. John J.

"Stopping a fleeing felon where the officer has absolute knowledge of the felony is one thing and the indiscriminate shooting of peaceful citizens upon a highway another. To halt a lady exercising her right to travel in such a manner as to actually endanger her life, and under circumstances where the arresting officer not only had no knowledge of a committed felony, but does not even have a reasonable right to suspect the commission of same is nothing short of an outrage * * * Of course, I do not wish to prejudge this case, but if there has been any violation of the law the guilty should be brought to justice; if they are not guilty the public should know it." o The scheme of good road building which does not provide for regular co?t of maintenance is faulty in the beginning an'd cannot succeed. ia ur > take care of the lai Twice < ugh to take care of :able benches will be ut letters of invitatic ling, creator of publ ement and uplift,?g TO YOU MISS nrrrani7afinri koo *= VA gMlllCiUilVIA AiUO V r the better.

As a result of their story?a story . of a battle against great odds in which human lives were constantly at the mercy of sweeping gales and shifting ice packs?two airplanes were soon driving through the sky from Selridge Field, Mount Clemens to carry food to the marooned party on Fox Island. The party went to the island last fall to cut timber, carrying provisions sufficient to last for several months. The prolonged winter, however, did not enter into their calculations. Three weeks ago all food supplies, excepting some frozen potatoes, were gone* With death from starvation facing the little colony, an attempt twas made by four men to cross to the mainland. They started on foot, but two miles from the island, the ice broke up, and two of the men narrowly escaped death by drowning before the return to the island was accomplished. A week later the men started again, but when two miles out. they were caught in a blinding snow storm. Uncertain of Direction. They wandered about, uncertain of their direction for nearly a day before finding their way back to the island. A third start wa? made, Edward Horn, 23, Carl Cooper, 35, and Ellis Say res, 21, were the men who composed the party which left the island in a stoutly built skitf, eight feet long.

After we put the boat in the water we found that it leaked badly, and bail as hard as we could, it would not stay afloat. It sank as we bumped upon a large ice float at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon about eight miles from the mainland.; "We used the axe to chop a large piece off the floe when we found open water at its other end. Then, using our pole, we started paddling, using the cake of ice as our raft. "About 5 o'clock we started to walk to land on solid ice, but a stiff wind started to break it up. At 8 o'clock, completely exhausted, we laid down in our blankets and slept until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. The wind was blowing the ice inshore. We started walking and jumping across short stretches of ice.
