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.

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

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

many bodily disorders are credited
to pyorrhoea, rheumatism being
one, if* we judge correctly.
—The site of pyorrhoea is at the-
junction of the gums with the
teeth. u If you look critically, you
will see the angry, inflamed bor-
dfirs of the igums, darker red. and

painful condition, but a little pres

out the tell-taje discharge, and the
diagnosis is easy.
