P. Tobin, of Bamberg, the col lision occuring on the highway be- twen Bamberg and Denmark. The ease was tried in Magistrate Edgar Dickinson’s court, and wlls begun on Monday morning of last weak. After ronsuming an entire day on the first charge, the trial was postponed until Wednesday, when Mr. Dickinson found «> Fickling guilty of the first charge, that of driving an automobile while under the influence of whiskey. A sentence of $100 or 30 days was im posed. The second charge was tried Fri day, this charge being that Fickling was driving his car in a reckless and willftil manner.

"V A ROCKEFELLER RULE | S BILLION ELECTRIC HOURS trials caused the painful injury of Mr. and Mrs. Tobin, their daughter, Mary Lucia, and a colored woman, Mary Grayson. Mr. Tobin’s car was smashed, and Mr. Fickling’s machine sustained a brcken wheel and other smaller injuries. Mr. Fickling wai unhurt.—The Bamberg Herald. Dr. Abbott, of the Smithsonian Institution, in 30 years’ study, dun covers that the heat given oft by the sun varies greatly from day to day and ywgr to year. The re markable things is that, sending its rays through more than 90,- 000,000 miles of ether at absolute zero, the sun has kept us warm enough to live for at least 500,000 years. One cosmic frets* would wipe u$ out. There is no big and no little in science. Dr. Abbott spent 30 years studying the sun, which is a million times as big as our earth. Darwin spent thirty years study ing the earthworm, half the size of your little finger, but longer, getting information as to the cre ation of our fertile soil. San Francisco citizens develop scientific philanthropy. A meet ing called by Messrs. Merrill, Fleischhaeker, Shoup, Croeker and Miller discussed plans for making money useful to the community. These men are .included in a group of fourteen worth more than $100,000,000, and determined to use their money wisely for public purposes, charity, science and education. They are studying the Rockefeller and other foundations, each will give what he can give to a central fund and they intend that the money be used efficiently. Taken to Hospital. Mrs. B. Mazursky, who has been qaite sick at her home here for several days, was earned to a hospital in Columbia for treatment Monday night. Her many friends hope that sbe will respond quickly and will soon be able tb return home. That is an improvement on the ancient method, when each of the fourteen would have led e selfish, self-indulgent life, and then, sepa rately, at the last minute, would have given money as a bribe to Providence in the Wipe of escap ing hell and gaining paradise. The best way to achieve that re sult is to give to other men. • The Lord does not need money. John J. Hanlon, of Chicago, tells the national Government he* in tends to get married and wants “any literature on the . Govern ment's ideals about marriage, par ticularly the size of the family the Government wants one to have." The ideal family is as many children as the MOTHER wants, and can take care of, and every mother should be allowed to de cide for herself how many. Some small families have done wonders. Alexander the Great had no brother or sirter. Canine, on the other hand, was the nine teenth child; Napoleon was one of many. The size of tha family ir the mother’s business, not the Gov ernment’s bvkinea*. John D. Rockefeller, Jr„ wise man, will not allow hit children to have their pictures in news papers. He doesn’t want them to “feel important before they have done anything worth while.” He docent even w ant his child rein to know that they are very rich— which also is very wise. Ode of Mr. Rockefeller’s chil dren, asked to contribute $60 to Home worthy purpose, saifl, «(uite sincerely: “Ti.ey must think we are Vanderbilts.” That innocent child doevnt know that her father and grand father could buy the whole Van derbilt family every little while, •t knew and not the difference. \ 14 UJI The • ^"eoui x tion LYRIC THEATRE BLACKVILLE, S .C. ft Friday, July 29-30 ■■PStold Lloyd’s Ute^t Reletae “FOR HEAVEN S SAKE** Two Shows: 7 and 9 p. m.- 28 and 80 conta I/: ft Friday Atig.
