Well, yes; we might even go a step further and say that boys are better as fathers than girls can possibly be. Floods in South Georgia are said to have destroyed hundreds of illicit riveaiside htil\s—<& huge prohibition clean-up in which neither federal nor state officert* participated—but just watch the Republicans claim that it is all a part of President Hoover’s dry drive. ways. In a small town, every diver gence of opinion ig taken as a personal matter and a man regards as more or less his enemy any one who thinks differently on religion, politics or any other question. Such a spirit prevents co-operation, anefc without co-opera tion not even a big town can make much progress and without it, no small town has any chance at all. Just how much of that preceding paragraph, if any at all, fits St. George, each reader of this paper may decide for himself. But, something is keeping this town in the small town class. It has made no substantial pro gress since it became a courthouse site. Other places with less advan tages have outstripped it in the race of progress. Something is the matter. What is it? Is St. George content to drift along, retaining the same status year after year, or does it want to grow and progress ? It will never do any better until a spirit of co-operation prevade its citi zenship and there will be no such spirit until each man accords every other man the respect for his opinions he demands for his own. That’s the beginning of the co-operative spirit and that spirit is the start of pro gress. Recognition of the Bob. Monday of last week Major H. 0. D. Segrave, of England, broke all world records for speed when he drove a specially built racing car at Daytona Beach, Fla., at the terrific speed of 231 miles an hour. Two days later Lee Bible, 42-year old garage mechan ic, attempted to break that re?ord in the same car that took speed honors away from Major Segrave a year ago. While traveling at the rate of 202 miles an hour he lost control of the machine. Bible and a news-reel cameraman named Charles Trauh were killed. Major Segrave is quoted as saying that the twin tragedy “is just one of those things which oc casionally happen and which must he expected in the development of hitrh speed racing.” But of what earthly practically u«e are such excessive speeds? They cannot be used on any highway** of the present day, be cause the Englishman had to come to America to find a suitable place to make the test. To the average man such exhibition's appear ns wanton sacrifices of human life to gratify the speed-mad desire for “thrills” and notoiiety. They are in the same clas s with “stunts” performed by airplane pilots. On second thought, auch speed records might serve n practical purpose in restraining the amateur racer on highways. When the latter is tempted to drive his car at a speed of f>0 or SO miles an hour, he might ask himself: “What’s the use? Segrave drove hi* car at 231 miles an hour—I cannot hope to break that record ” A bobbed model has been selected by the Minister of France to pose for the figure on the new hundred franc gold pieces. And so bobbed hair is to be recognized on the coins of France. This has been done to symbolize what the modern girl has done for the Republic since war flamed across Europe. Who can find fault with this idea? After all, the feminine head on French coins is supposed to represent the Goddess of Liberty. The bob itself is a gesture of feminine freedom. Sn a bobbed hatred grrf if to be tho golden girl of France! Even from a classic viewpoint this is proper, for we are told by scientists that Egyp tian queens wore bobbed hair—and they were beautiful enough to make emperors knee! at their feet. VV’e think this idea of the Minister of Finance a very beautiful and typical ly French compliment t° the modern girl. Don’t Worry Yet! Richards' Stock Goes l’p. When Governor John G. Richard? refused to allow United States Sena tor C. L. Blease to dictate to him in the matter of the road bond issue, the Chief Executive’s stock went up. There were many voters—political friends and opponents—who thought that the governor was more or less of a figurehead and would he used as a rubber-stamp by the junior Senator. His recent act : on proves that he has the courage of his convictions and viewed in this light h* 8 attempt to enforce the aged blue Sunday law is not the piece of political hypocrisy that it appeared to thousands of peo ple. By that attempt Governor Richards had alienated numbers of his former supporters, and now, by standing un flinchingly by his guns in the -road bond matter, he has strengthened his position. It might be taken as an adroit political move but for the fact that the Governor gives promise of b^ing more of a statesman than a poli tician. If this promise bears fruit, bis name will be written high in the Hall of Fame. Tiie sun will shire for a billion years, and then when it begins to dim another will form to take its place. So says Professor Millikan of the California Institute of Technology. Others have said that the sun would eventually go out and all would he darkness. Many theories have been advanced. We trust in God to keep the world alight and going, and are st’dom if ever disturbed for a moment by all the predictions that tell us the woild is going to end on such and such a date. As for that second sun, thanks. Professor. It’s a great comfort to know that it i s coming along. But really, we guess we’ll just string along for a while with the sun that we know, and just refuse to worry as to whether a second one is coming along or not. Personally, we don’t need it! ‘Let’s Get Together.’ Under the above caption, Dorchester County Record published last week an editorial that is so applicable to Barn well and other small towns that we are reproducing it herewith for the benefit of our readers. As the Record says, any difference of opinion is taken as a personal matter “and a man re- guards as more or less his enemy any one who thinks differently on religion, politics or any other question.” How true that is! And how often it hap- •pens in Barnwell! ' But read what the Record says and At by it: rha first thing for a small town to it want to get out of the small A New Way to Tell Time. Henry Rheinhardt, chairman of the Associated Dress Industries, Chicago, comes forth with a brand new idea on the moot problem of the length of skirts. He suggests that dresses should be worn down to the knee at noon, and hour by hour longer dresses should be worn until at midnight the dress would be as long as in the days of our grand mothers. This would give women fashion’s authority to change their frocks every hour. The suggestion has been given serious attention all over the country. - It t* satd that tbt^ suggrstio followed, would be a wonderful com promise, pleasing both the advocates of long and short skirts. We don’t pose as an authority in such matters, but pass the idea on in the thought that it is interesting at any rate—and would provide us with a rather charming way of telling the time. To Load Car of Poultry. Anrounccment is made that another carload of poultry will be shipped from Barnwell County next week. The car will be at Dunbarton Tuesday, at B-arnwell Wednesday and at Hilda Thursday. Cards containing schedule of prices wili be mailed interested par ties within the next few days. ♦ ♦ ♦ Consigned to Wastebasket. An interesting news letter from Olar was consigned to the waste basket‘this week because the writer failed to sign his or her name.
