LAWYERS BROWN & BUSH BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, APRIL 1ST, 1926. ■I— Don’t Talk "Hard Times." The’’People-Sentinel believes that psychology plays a big P ar t so- caHed “good times 1 ' and "hard times," but whether or not we are right In that belief, we believe that every body will agree with us when wo ray that talking "hard times" doesn’t better the situation. In fact, it ft? bound to lower the moral of the peo- s pie. as we used to say during" war times. •<i> i It has been conclusively proven that a well man can be made sick if every acquaintance he meets tells him how badly he looks. It is a mat ter of suggestion. And so it is, in a large measure, with “hard times." We are not writing, of nrurse, about p< Hods of depression brought about by a crop failure or some other dire calamity, hut, as a matter of fact,we have heard this “hard times” talk, in gooil times and had. with painful regularity since the memory of this writer runneth not to the contrary. Naturally, we have prosperous years, and years that are not so good, and our contention is that the bad years are made worse by all this talk of “hard times.” Business may be had in som<> mecial line, while the “other fellow" may be making money that he is willing to spend. But as soon as he hears this “hard times" talk he begins to wonder if the slump Isn’t going to hit him in about another minute and he promptly decides that pehaps he had better hold on to what he has made. That makes mat ters worse, for he rot onlv quits ^spending money but what he does ha« its influence on somebody else. And so it goes in an ever-widening circle, like a nehhle thrown into a millpond, until all lines of business are adverse ly affected. Now. don’t understand us fo advo cate that a man should snend beyond his mean* He rhould not do that at any time, hut the point we are tryinsr to make is that the fellow who may he able to spend is often fright ened into not doing so bv the continual rrv of “hard times." .,nd if we pe»- aist in the practice we can’t expect better times. It is much easier to smile than to frown—it requires the use of fewer muscles of the face and requires less physical exertion. Let’s get into the habit of smiling more. I.et’s inject a little more optimism into our daily contact with other people. We’ll all feel better and we honestly believe it will nay from a financial stand point. At any rate, it won’t do any harm and there is the chance that it will put a few more dollars into cir culation. In conclusion, we might quote a * IHttr rtry me tbit w?"i¥aTa~humber of years ago and that has stuck in' our mind ever since: “If you strike a thorn or rose— Keep a-goin’. It it hails or if it snows— Keep a-goin’. Tain’t no use to sit and whine If the fish ain’t on your line, Bait your hook and keep on tryin*— Keep a-goin*.

G. M. GREENE, Barnwgg The Edisto Public Service Co. Denmark, South Carolina somewhat tell you. You have a great love for justice—and a fair regard for others’ rights. You are very intellectual, and while you are very fond of so ciety, you do not care for meaningless small talk. Y'ou.can be very sar castic, and make quite a few enemies because of your sharp tongue. How ever, you are faithful and true to your friends^ and always willing to help' Uiem. You hav t . much executive ability, and a good grasp of general details, hut you prefer doing the bigger things—and leaving the details for others. You are very fond of good Jiving, and want to enjoy yourself. * You are also rather fond of lir.cry and show, but do not ^ v vy it to an ex treme. t ou are do-»estu\ kind, and patient in your hon-", bur nee'j an occasional vacaticn t t set’sfy vour n;ttpral tiavel tasU-, Wc.iVien horn (luring th<*-e d it* s mak- excellent designers, artists and teachers.

"Home, Sweet Home’’, as „ melodv. is still known to every man and woman in the country, hut it repres ents today merely some lovely music eet around some empty words. Even the seng our motherland fath ers almost looked on as a hymn is “jazzed” to make rhythm for frivo- Vws feet, is desecrated at thousands of dances that make “Home, Sweet Home” a moelce»|\ There is distressingly little re spect for the fathers or the mothers where there is distressingly little realization on their part of the sweet responsibilities of parenthood. It is a condition that is dangerou>J I a condition that must be remedied, ewen though it should mean a total revolution of our existing religious aukl school teaching. The home must be saved, but the country murft first be aroused to an oppreciation of the fact that home life is not only seriously menaced and in a very unhealthy state' but is, ac tually, in an almost moribund condi tio*, not of itself, but through the croochment* that have had such de- atractive influences. Wh) says Americans.” That idea—that myth—was ex ploded the other day when the United States treasury revealed that despite this a ge of automobiles, radios flappers and cake-eaters, Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen saved two bil lions of dollars more in 1925 than they did in 1924. Savings bank accounts increased that much! - This tremendous jump in savings— MONEY IN THE BANK—despite the wave of fake promotion, the fol lies and foibles of femini on method of salesmanship and suppos ed tendency of living beyond income. It proves two points: That Ameri ca is in rather prosperous condition and that the teaching of thrift, in augurated years ago and intensified during -and silice the war, is begin ning to get real results. When the savings accounts of Americans increase two billions a one year, we .can't believe there’s much ground for ialling us “extrava gant.” T. H. Russell, head of the. Clean Language League of America, is quoted as saying, in effect, that, '‘Tt we can’t stop loose language by edu cation we’ll do it by legislation.” It is to be hoped that Mr. Russell was misquoted. It would-be much better if he had said, “We trawt stop loose language by legislation but we can do it by education.” Abolishing of profanity by statute f \ would be utterly impossibjerlb our way of thinking. No onb will deny that there is too much dirty language, but the language reformers will never legislate it ioff the tongues. pie about the viciousness of it, more than likely would have a good effect.
