DID NOT PAY

CREDIT IS "GREAT THING
"Who Does Not Pay is Bad
Member of Community
""Be sure your sins will find you
?ut." 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

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.

The notices were served by Sheriff C.

jury after they had investigated the
firing upon a car in which two young

Asheville, N. C., were riding r.n the
Buncombe road, near Traveler's Rest
a few days ago. It is alleged that
bullets from the officer's guns punctured
the tires and entered the body
of the car.
Warrants for the arrest of the officers
were issued by Magistrate G.
L. Cooley. They were sworn out by
Sheriff Rector.
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,

* The Resolutions In Part.
The resolutions of the grand jury
in part were:
"Whereas, the facts of the shooting
by federal officials at two young
Ladies on the Buncombe road a few
days ago has been brought to our attention.
"Be it resolved, that we * * * having
investigated the shooting, are of
the opinion that the Federal officers
participated in the affair and should
be prosecuted for assault and battery
with intent to kill; and that the sheriff
of Greenville county is hereby instructed
to swear out warrants for
Federal raiding officers * * * charging
them with the offense above named.
"Rejolved, further, that the Repreresentative
of this district in Congress,
Mr. John J. McSwain, be requested
to take up with the proper
authorities in Washington the matter
of having these officials removed from
office, the grand jury being unanimously
of the opinion that they should
not longer continue to act as officers
of the law * * *"
Solicitor D. W. Smoak, of Greenville
county, today issued a statement
condemning the "indiscriminate sl^oting
of peaceful citizens upon the highv?av
" Hie chitamanf fnllnwc

Statement by Solicitor.
"I think the position of the Chamber
of Commerce through its directors
requesting an investigation
right and proper * * * I think, too,
that it would be right and proper for
me to say that the grand jury and
the solicitor are in entire accord upon
the proposition that crime must be
put down. Men who violate the pro4hibition
laws must be apprehended and
brought to justice, but the illegal enforcement
of any law is a menace to
the enforcement of all laws, and lawlessness
on the part of public officials
is the worst sort of lawlessness.
"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."

BATTLING WERE I
HALF STARVING
Nine Men and a Woman Are
Starving on The
island
ICE HOLDS THEM UP
Party Went to Island Last
Fall to Out Some
Timber
Cold, exhausted and half starved,
three men who, for 48 hours battered
their way through slush, ice and open
water, reached the mainland at Northport,
Mich., last Thursday, bearing
news that tei^ others?nine men and a
woman?are slowly starving on Fox
Island, 18 miles from here in Lake
Michigan.
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.
They carried one pdir of oars, an

Horn, seated in a physician's office,
told the story as Dr. R. E. Flood treat*

"When we ran Into slush ice, it took
all of oid man's strength to push the
boat a few feet. The ice became
thicker and we attempted to lift the^
boat upon it and draw it along, but
the ice broke under our feet. ' \
"We determined to return to th4, 1
island, but a stiff wind blew in big tea '
floes and we couldn't turn back. We
kept pushing the boat through ice all
Monday night.
"Tuesday morning we foufld . a
stretch of open water and were abMto

draped the boat across the ice. 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. Cooper fell into
the water twice and it required all
of our strength to get him back on
the ice, We made our jump to the
mainland at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning." >
