Will She Drop Vie Handkerchief ?‘ —By Albert T.Jtmd The Englishman’s record of 207 miles an hour in an automobile will probably stand, but we’ll swear some .drivers have passed us on a dirt road going faster than that. Thtj. poor murderer is certainly to be pitied thqje days, since tho jury w’ill decide he’s'Trazy if he pleads insani ty and the public will decide he’s crazy if he doesn’t plead insanity. Otis Brabham, of Allendale, very pertinently asks this question in last week’s issue of The Allendale County Citizem: “We are crying for new industries; why not back up those we 1.1 ready have?” Nobody seems to understand just what a psychiatrist does and it is a little, hard to tell except that in gen eral he finds either for the defense or prosecution according to which side hires him, according to the recent evidence. The Willliston Way, in advocating bi-ennial sessions of the Geneial As sembly, wants to know why the South Carolina legislators can’t trust those who placed them where they arc. Probably because the solons them selves realize what mistakes the people make in selecting their repre sentatives and they are afraid to tiust them in other matters. modest little girl who has taken her place. And in ten years or so, the flapper will be back with us. It was ever so. „ In Other Sanctums i What Does It Mean? Our Motor Moloch. The Mt.tropoitan Life Insurance Company estimates that motor ve hicles last year killed more than 25,000 persons in the United Starts an/d injured at least 1,000,000 more. Since 1920, fatalities have increased 67 per cent. The situation is grow ing steadily worse. And the worst ftature of all is that children be tween the ages of five and ten years fumish the major portion of the victims. Here is a problem for each com munity to wrestle with, and one worthy of the strongtt-t effort. Many, perhaps most, of tin. deaths were caused by carelessness, la.'k of proper precautions. Too many drivers and too many, pedestrians ai’e trying to heat the^ other fellow. Industry has cut down materially the number of prevuntable accidents through safety campaigns of one kind or another and through applying common sense to rehnove certain dangers. Now' the motor vehicle is demanding a greater toll of victims than the machinery of factories and mills. Something must he done to curb the appetite of the motor Moloch, and NOW is the time to start. Those of us w'ho liko.to uphold .the youth of the day are balked at these statistics: Of the i>8 persons who have Iheen prisoners in the Greenville Coun ty jail this month, 24 were youths under 25 years of age. Most () f them * were w r hite. The record is not an un usual one, selected to make a point. It is. typical of the* record of other months in recent years. Officers be lieve, the new’s columns relate, “that gaining of wealth without productive effort is the object of youths that leads them into trouble. What is the significance of thci record? in what way is the community failing in its du'tv to the rising generation? In what manner can the youths be ma le to realize their duty to the community and to themselves?—Greenvillti Pied mont. The Useless “Good Citizen.’ Poor Little Thing. A magazine said to he the national organ of the younger sets of some thirty-five American cities has just published an account of thep assing of fiapperism. The flapper, however, has been dead for some time. Poor little thing, s he died, not of exposure, as some might think, but rather of lack of it. The flapper began to fail wh^n grandmother first bobbed heir hair and lopped a couple of inches of cloth off the bottom of her skirts. From then on she languished and the "final blow came when the amounts of her goings on caused people only to shrug their shoulders and say, “What of it?” A demure, shy little girl is peeking from the wings. Soon she will trip mo|destly upon the stage so lately oc cupied by that brazen flapper. But th^ flapper has her good points —and they, were obvious. She has There is a certain type of man 'in t veiy community who poses as a good citu^n. He breaks no laws, lives morally, pays his honest debts and is never tangled up with the law in any manner. But he lives of himself, by himself, and for himself exclusive ly. When the call is issued for volun teers to put across a community movement and give a boost, he never answers. When calamity has befallen people in certain localities and chari- * ty flies to their lescue, he is never one oi‘ theh* number. When money is needed for a public enterprise his name is never on the list. When he sees some neighbor stuck ill the mud he detours to avoid him. In fact, if he stood on the shore and ‘aw the ship of State sinking, he would never offer to throw out at l ; nt. And if all mankind was fashion ed trom this same kin^of chap what Ar wool happen? There w'ould be no thurches, no hospitals for the sick, no institutions for the unfortunate, no progress.

So far as we know, not a single ad was placed in a weekly paper by the Ford Company in connection with the announcement of the new car, through dealers, out of their po^kots, used a small amount of space. v The best advertising medium is that which reaches the people whom one wishes to s^ll or^ those who are particularly interested in a certain commodity.

There are single counties in the State having a greater vote in a State primary than all these counties together. It seems hardly fair.
