Still t we suppose there are some folks who don't amount to enough to get themselves investigatejd. Many public schools are having dif ficulty with the seating problem. So are Washington society folks. Our idea of zero in news pictures is one showing somebody turning the first spadeful of dirt for something. It wa# a clever radio announcer who thought up the euphemism “record ing,*’ meaning a phonograph record. Brooklyn grocer's clerk supported two witfes on $25 a week. Being a gro cer’s clerk probably simplified the feat. “Chinese soldiers discard pigtails," asys an exchange. And a good many have discarded heads along with them. A reporter describes a traffic viola tor ag “a former bandit, now driving a taxicab." But why drag in the word “former?" The Dorchester County Record .'pays that the right to work must be pro tected. but what we need most just at this time is the DESIRE TO WORK. The chief of police of Bamberg, in a notice published in The Bamberg Herald, warns motorists against driv ing on the streets of that city “with unly bne light or with bad lights, tinder penalty of immediate arrest and trial before the mayor. This action could be followed profitably by every town in the State. We say “proftta- hly" advisedly —not that it would be so profitable to the towns but rather to the automobile owners themselves in lessening the chances of accidents Furthermore, there is a State law against driving on the highways with improper lights and also one requir ing that horse-drawn vehicles display a light or reflector at night. The en forcement of this law throughout South Carolina is conspicuous by its absence. Edison's Jubilee.. Climaxing, a series of celebrations covering a period of five months, the observance of the 50th anniversary of Edison's incandescent light on Octo ber 21st was a notable event.. It was held at Dearborn, Mich., with Henry Ford as host and President Hoover, Mr. Edison and many other notables «s guests. Among the incidents of the celebra tion was the re-enactment of the scene ia which Edison and hi s assistants, af ter countless experiments, produced the first incandescent light on October 21, 1879. At first carbons used in the lamp bulbs were very fragile, being made of paper and common sewing thread. An improve^ filament made of a strip from a palm leaf fan led to the adop- rof bamboo for the purpose, Japan and other countries being searched for the most suitable kinds. Bamboo was the atandard filament material for ^fcahy years. The carbon lamp was io general tise until the development of ,the tungsten filament in 1907, which again revolutionized the lighting industry *a it was rapidly mproved. The tungs ten filament is stronger and has a much longer life than the old carbon, feaides producing about four and a fcalf times as much light from a given tunount of current. : All these developments of half a Century have resulted from Edison’s original incandescent lamp, although iy-x>ther inventors have had a part the progress made. Upon Edison’s rery also has been built the great w and light industry, which now Bents an investment of ten billion in the United States. The celebration of Light's Golden was a fitting tribute to the inventor, now 82 years of age, working in his laboratories, ,$e his more than 1,100 inven ts-Mr. Cool id ge has said.

Blackville, Oct .31.—Blackville high school lost to Wagener on the local field this afternoon by a score of 6 to 0. The locals put up a gallant fight in the face of being outweighed about ten pounds to the man. A fluke play, followed by a pass after Hutto was injured and removed was good for 30 yards and a touchdown. Gray, Nine- stein and Hutto starred for Black ville, while Gardner, Gunter, Shull and McLain put up the best game for the visiters. Gunter at quarter was an outstanding star for Wagener on re ceiving forward pastes.
