Morse •ent these words, “What hath God wrought,” from one point to another over a thin strand of wire through the medium cf an electro-magnet. The experiment was acclaimed throughout the civilized world for the miracle that it was. Saturday night millions of people sat by another miracle of science— the radio—and heard a description cf how “the Century of Progress Expo- aition” at Chicago was literally “hitched to a star’’ and its feeble light rays, greatly amplified, used to throw an electric switch that lighted the exposition buildings and the vast grounds. * - Astronomers tell us that Arcturus is a bright orange star that glows in the summer sky in the constellation of Bootes. In size it dwarfs our own ■un by 25 times. It ia called a neigh bor of the sun, for hardly 100 stars are closer, but even so it is 225 mil lion million miles distant. That is 40 “light years.” Light travels at the rate cf 186,000 miles a second, so that if we had a machine that could trave with the speed of light it would take us 40 years to reach Arcturus. Such fpeed anti distances are incompre hensiblc to the human lay mind. Saturday night at four great obser vatcrie*—Harvard, Allegheny, Ur bania ami Yerkea—telescopes were focused on the p»n prick of light. At a given signal from Chicago the speck of light was allowed to fall on the sensitized chemical< of the photo •Jectnc cell, known as the “electric eye.” Th.s beam of starlight, which started on its journey earthward 40 yevaia ago—when Chicago’s Colombian Expo<dtion was in pr< grests—teache the earth Saturday nigh’, after it journey thn ugh space and set up tiny ele.'tnc cunent.

D., May 29.—John A. Mon is died at his home near Barnwell at four o’clock Wednesday morning, following an attack of heart trouble. Although he had been in de clining health for several months, the news of his death was a great shock to his wide circle of friends. “Cousin John,” as he was affec tionately called by everybody, ‘was bocn November 11th, 1876, and was one of Barnwell County’s best loved men and farmers. He was a very re markable man in many respects and numbered his friends among those in every walk of life. He was a loyal member of the Friendship Baptist Church, in which he held the position of Clerk. He was cf a charitable dis position and never turned a deaf ear to appeals to aid a worthy person or cause. In short, he embodied the ! true ihairacterisics of a ChrLtian and his absence will be felt keenly in the church, the heme and the community. His body was laid to rest Wednes day afternoon at five o’clock, the funeral service* being conducted by his pastor, the Rev. D. W. Heckle. Mr. Morris is survived by his widow; seven son?, J. B., B.

PRICE, Manager. while some bankers had been incompe tent or dishonest, this was not true in the vast majority of our banks. A sit uation should exist in which there is not even a small miTjority of bankers open to question.’^There should be no room for dishonesty or incompetency to exercise any influence in banking anywhere. “White bad faith and bad manage ment enter the human factor in all types of business, their effects in bank ing should be surrounded by such spe cial safeguards as to render them no longer a factor in bank failures. The resi>onsibUity for bringing this ahbut, however, cannot rest upon the bankers alone, for the. means to accomplish it are not wholly in their hands. There are other essential elements. “One is the efficiency of government supervision. Since we rely so greatly upon supervision, it may, unless it is of the highest order in safeguarding the public interest, create a sense of false security. Supervision should render bad banking impossible, but it has failed to do so. There was super vision by presumably the highest type of bank supervisors in every one of the instances of questionable banking that has shocked the attention of the coun try during the past three years. There fore a thorough strengthening of super vision is clearly called for If the people are to rely on it to the fullest extent for the protection of their Interests. Th* Public’s Part “Another essential factor In main- tsintng good hanks involves the part played by the public in banking. There is certainly a responsibility on the peo ple themselves to support that type of banker whose rigid adherence to sound principles tntkes a sound bank, rather than to give their patronage to the easy golaj banker who may he easier to do business with, but whose methods cre ate s weak hank. • "Bank customers are charged with a great responsibility in'protecting tha safety of their batiks in reepect to their utilization of the assets of the banks as borrowers.

No one who has not sounb bank ing principles at heart has any business In a bank whether as a banker or aa a customer. "The banker is a semi-public servant. He is charged with the heaviest of re sponsibilities and obligations that occur in our economic life. But he can meet these fully only through the coopera tion of good laws, good public officials who are empowered to exercise au thority over his bank, and good busi ness methods on the part of business men generally who utilize his bank. Only through such cooperation by all elements in our nation's community Ufa can we be aseured of a failure-proof banking structure. “The Administration at Washington has taken hold of this problem with a Arm grasp of essehlTals and is exefell ing splendid leadership toward the de sired end. The strangest feature of the government program will be found in recognizing the joint responsibility of the public, of business and of govern ment officials together with the bankers themselves in creating the kind of banking the nation should have.’’ Improved Pasture Pay* Special Prices FROM NOW ON Men's** Suits Dry Cleaned and Pressed 25c Men’s Overcoat s Dry Cleaned and Pressed 25c up Lined Suits Dry Cleaned or Laundered Ladies’ Dresses, pJaih not flaired sleeves, 1 dres s 35c, 2 diesses 60c, 3 dresses 75c Pleated Di esses and all other Dry Cleaning in accodance with above Ladies’ Top Coats from 25c up WE A^E PREPARED to clean anything from a Neck Tie to a 9 x 12 Rug.
