There aren’t many chances to hook a ride on the highway to success. Many men have beeen fleeced by the fair young thhtg 8 they thought were lambs. A friend thinks that the University of Hard Knocks should be endowed by Henry Ford.

Fine, now let’s make the criminal face some of the kind that comes in over the radio. o«t that the average yield of cotton for Barnwell County Is about 140 pounds of lint per acre and the average yield of com is about 14 bushels per acre.

They flew at a height of two miles and maintained an average speed of 172 miles an hour or nearly three miles a minute. All previous cross-continent records for speed were shattered. A large German plane, equipped trith American made motors, capable of carrying several score passengers, has been built and a trans-Atlantic trip will be attempted this year. Every one is famili^xfrth the round- the-world flight of the Graf Zeppelin, *iant German dirigible, which has made several trips to the United States. And now comes Henry Ford with Yhe announcement of an aeroplane equipped with an oil-burning motor capable of transporting 11 passengers •cross the Atlantic Ocean at a fuel cost of about $6 per passenger. An other advantage of the new-type motor is the greatly lessened danger Cf fire, the bane of airplane pilots and feusengtrs. As we have said, remarkable strides have been made in the past quarter of a century, but even greater things •re promised for the next decade.

Just as the public expense has been increased by the lavish hands of pub lic officers, and this upheld and en couraged by the general assembly, so we find the 5ame practice of wasting and spending on the part of families; we find that the heads of these fami lies are in debt; the homes and the farms are under mortgages; these heads of families in many in*tatnces do not know just now where next to turn. jr As the Herald has often said, you cannot judge how a family is getting along by looking at what they show you.

Death had seemed a matter of only a few days for many weeks before the end finally came. Her iron will and determination held off the atack of death for many months. Mrs. Still was a native of Barn well County and daughter of the late Henry and Mary Croft, and there was probably no woman around Barnwell who had more friends or who was more generally beloved than was she. Her tolerance and her under standing of humanity and her always prompt and sympathetic interest in the problems of her friends made her very close to many, and the sor row experienced at her death is in comparable^ Funeral services were conducted at Friendship Baptist Church Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock, March 13th, Dr. W.

Things Are Not So Bad. It is human nature to think of one’s own condition as being worse than the other fellow’s. If you are unhappy, you naturally think that you are more unhappy than anyone else in the world. If you are “up against it,” you think that no one in the history of the world has been so up against it as you. If you think you are in a bad way, just pick up any New York paper and see what the condition is up there. In New York there are thousands of job less—thousands who are walking the streets looking for jobs—thousands who are wondering just where the next meal is going to come from. There are thousands who do not know wheth er or not there is going to be a next meal—who probably wouldn’t consider the prospects good enough to bet on, even if they bad anything to bet One church in New York is handing out meal tickets to about two thous and persona.
