GOOD LENDING. t :■'
GOV. SMITH—MR. McADOft
V CARNEGIE.
l,Nt,M0,Mt FOR GOLF.
Hl
If North and South America
cannot set before tha rest of the
world an exampla of peace and
common Dense, something is wrong
with North or South America. This
year the Latin'Republic will spend
$100,000,000 developing railroads,
and ipost of the money will be
borrowed in the United States.
Chile is negotiating a $40,000,000
loan In New York to electrify the
Chilean State Railways. Apparent
ly those South American republics
have public officials sufficiently
honest and competent to manage
State railways.
* The finaiteing of desirable indus
trial enterprises in South America
by United States banks is a useful
investment for American money.
When Andrew Carnegie sold his
mills to United States Steel he
would gccept only special bonds,
wouldn’t take preferred stock as a
gift, laughed at the common stock .
saying it wasn’t even water, it was
<< air. n Recent figures would sur
prise and probably annoy Mr. Car
negie’s Scotch thrift The steel
company in 1926 earned $199,004,-
741, enough to pay $17.96 a share
on the common stock, a new record
of peace-time prosperity in the
steel bush
One billion dollars will be spent
on new golf courses and clubhouses
this year, including the cost of 1,-
000 new golf chibs starting and
maintenance of old dubs. If the
nation could build a thousand new
flying machines, one for each new
golf dub, to protect the links and
placid gentlemen playing on them,
it would be a good thing.
Dry raiders seise 125,000 worth
of "blending” machinery used to
‘ * wim facto re benedictine, chartre
use, and other liqueurs. The •'blend
ing" has been going on, full blast,
for four months. Many an Ameri
can has dsmaged his mucous mem
brane, absorbing the product of
tbit machinery.
Governor Ritchie, of Maryland,
himself widely discussed . in con
nection with the Democratic Presi
dential nomination, says Governor
Smith, of New York, “is the out»
standing Democrat in the United
States.”
On the other hand. Mr. Milton,
editor of the Chattanooga • News
says William G. McAdoo is the
only, man for Democrats to nomin
ate. Mr Milton says Governor
Smith cannot ^e nominated be
cause “the country is seventy per
cent dry, aad no wet can be elec
ted to the Presidency." Governor
Smith’s friends say, “wait, and
• John D. Rockefeller still has the
New York Stock Exchange seat
that he bought in 1883, forty-four
years ago. He never uses it, kevp-
it perhaps to remind him of old
days when he was making money
for himself before he began spend
ing his millions in Rockefeller
. Foundations, Institutes, fighting
disease—for other people. .
That seat, which probably cost
Mr. Rockefeller less than $50,000
he could sell how for $180,000. If
he holds it a litttle longer, it will
be worth $200,000.
Russian husbands and wives rill
be interested in their mail fron
now on. For a divorce you simply
notify thf authorities that you
want it, then send word to your
better half through the post office
and that settles it. You are divorc
ed.
In China the thing is more seri
ous. The natives hate strangers as
cats hate dogs. They are tired of
watching foreigners spend money,
having courts and territory of
their own, and are glad when the
timef comes to murder a few. The
murdering seems to be close at
Hand.
Uncle Sam baa. some of his ships
there, and unpleasant news may
be expected.
After th£ Boxer rebellion, when
the other nations compelled the,
Chinese to pay millions in dam
ages,' this nation handed the money
back. . —
But that won’t help our popular-
~ Wh$p Europe was in trouble,
le Sam sent an army of two
.on men, five thousand million
dollars, and other thousands of mil
lions since.

Demark Telephone
Equipment Modem
It will probably be interesting for
the patrons of the telephone company
to know that the telephone building in
Denmark js equipped with all of the
modern devices for the transmission
of telephone business, including radio
and photograph transmission. This
building was erected a few years ago
at a cost of nearly a quarter of a mil
lion dollars to handle through business
from the north to points south. Radio
equipment was necessary to handle
certain classes of American Telephone
and telegraph businere, and recent in
ventions making possible the trans
mission of photographs over telephone
wires necessitated equipment to take
care of this new snd novel phase of
national enterprise. Thirty-five em
ployees are employed in the building
send the monthly payroll is about
$6,000.—The Bamberg Herald.

haul by any means. had a fine
string of smaller fish.—The Bamberg
