Canada is often held up as a country that is rapidly nearing a return to normalcy without the aid of the New Deal policies. In that Utopian coun try, we have been told, recovery is be ing based on sound busines s tactics, which embrace balanced budgets and reasonably low taxes. In the light of all that we have baen told, it seems passing strange that the Dominion is about to lose two of its wealthiest citizens, who, it is re ported, are about to move to England to escape that country’s federal in come tax. The two gentlemen in question are said to have a combined income of $6,000,000, out of which they pay nearly $3,000,000 to the gov ernment each year. That certainly doesn’t coincide with other reports that have been published about Canada. ky, and dr. bubhert green will ancer to the name of dr. bubbiski greenov- isch^ r . . .-I — if anybodldy wants to get something to eat, they will have to go to the citty J»1L and get a ticket that will permit them to buy a loaf of bread if they can get holt of JA-ttr pay for same with, 'the govverment will take charge of all of our’ houses and land and children, and we will be under her control *£££.

As a person grows older (not neces sarily old), he recalls more vividly than ever the embarrassing things that have happened to him since child hood. There is never a day but what I think of some of the mistakes, blun ders, and foolish things I did in years gone by. Here are a few of the most horrible happenings: THAT GOOD GULF GASOLINE *7SO <IW -borrow^" ’sSst-a-Sjg; LT ( 5 )“ick’up. (-0 p°« r - (5) •! Skound performance. SSS wool.

Disc. playej numerous gifts to be used in matter what the nature of the busi- Cangratuletions, Governor. Governor Olin D. Johnston is to be congratulated on the manner in which he settled the Monarch Mills strike m the Piedmont section of the State, when he made a personal appeal to the strikers and mill owners to settle a their differences peaceably. H e didn’t find it necessary to call out the militia to handle the situation, though we do not think he would have hesitated to do so had he believed such drastic action 'necessary to protect the mill proper ty against rioters. But the Governor knows the mill workers perhaps bet ter than any other official connected with the State government, and the a&fli worker^ know Governor Johnston and have implicit confidence in him. The Chief Executive Is also to be congratulated foV turning a deaf ear to the suggestion for a special session of the general assembly to approprite money for direct relief ip “unemploy- ahles” in South Carolina. Thic is not because he is unsympathetic towards these unfortunates, but he believes that each county can care for the ‘‘caaea” within its borders and thereby save the expense of an extra session> with the resultant increase in taxes. If there be 30,000 “cases” in need °f cHrect relief, an appropriation, of $3,- 000,000 would provide only $100 a year for each “case,” and to raise that amount would require an addi tional levy of several mills on the taxable property of South Carolinians. With the withddrawel of federal aid, it is very probable that the number will be reduced appreciably. 1.—At a dSnher party composed of the upper 10—(all except me), I ate my tomato juice out of a little tumb ler with a spoon.

A color motif of pink and white was carried out in the decorations and refreshments: The bride’g register was o in charge of Mrs. E. C. Barker. Mrs. W. T.
