FLORENCE GOES INDEPENDENT From all we can gather it appears to us that The Independent Tobacco forces will dominate the Florence Tobacco Market. There will be three warehouss here sell ing the old auction way and one trying out the much heralded cooperative plan. We are glad both forces are represented here. Competition keeps us all polite and on our toes. Florence established the first tobacco mar ket in South Carolina and for a long time was the leading market in pounds sold. They use to speak of Wilson, N. C. and Florence, S. C. as the two largest tobacco There is competition for the position of second richest man in the world.” Mr. Rockefeller is generally admitted to be num ber one and strictly hors concours. As to number two, some say it is Mr. Mellon, sec retary of the treasury. Others say it is Thomas F. Ryan, of New York street cars and African mines others say that it is Mr. George F. Baker, head of New York’s First National Bank, who has built up railroads and many other things. Some even say that Mr. Baker is the richest man in the world, but doesn’t say so out of regard for Mr. Rock efeller older than himself. Such men feel about money as others do about a golf score. More important is the fact that Mr. Baker is busy, acting like the richest man in the world. He gave away a million dollars the other day to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with no strings attached, except that they mustn’t lose the money. Now he gives $500,000 to a hospital and it is understood that as long as his fountain pen holds out, he means to reach the record of John D. Rocke feller, who gives tens of millions at a time. But a million and a half in one week is a good start. Mr. Baker is quite old, Mr. Rockefeller older, Mr. Carnegie was old. In Former days such old men would have been wondering how they could invest their money in some great tomb or pyramid or in such a way as to buy a front seat in everlasting glory. Now they invest the money that opportunity in a great nation has given them, to benefit the people of that nation. That’s real progress. Fashion Decree For Summer Every one has a natural leaning toward white when summer comes on. But the vogue for that color this year is much more than a natural tendensy. It is a passion. It is a fad. It is a necessity, indeed, if you wish to be classed at all in the circles of smartly dressed women. And who does not, pray tell? This summer the evening dresses are white, the afternoon dresses are white, the morning dresses are white, the suits are white, the coats are white, the capes are white. There is no article of attire that escapes the general mode. And really there are more stunning things being done in white than have been made in all the other colors put together. Travelers returning from Paris bring back the news that everything is white there,too. One society wo man drew from her trunk of Parisian clothes no less than four dresses of all white. “Well,” she said, “what else could I do? They had nothing but white, and the French designers were out to despise you if you dared to choose anything else in the way of color.” When you are stricken with the pervading tendency of white you will find all sorts of compensation, for there are beautiful things to be had in that medium. And, it seems, that the color, if it may be called a color, has stepped away from the field of suitability only for certain types. Indeed, there is about it an adaptabil ity to all types of which you would hardly have suspected it. ! of Spain, and are complete in techni- jcal detail. In “Fascination” Mae Murray adds another famous characterization to her already notable gallery of por traits. All the primitive passion of the Spanish girl is conveyed strik ingly by the popular star, in this picture, too, she performs several Spanish dances which even natives declare are every bit the original. An unusually strong supporting cast has been assembled for the pic ture. Among them may be men tioned Helen Ware, Creighton Hale, Vincent Coleman, Courtenay Foote, Charles Lane, Robert Frazer, and Emily Fitzroy. “Fascination” was directed by Rob ert Z. Leonard. The story is by Edmund Goulding. It is released by Metro Pictures Corporation. The photography is by Oliver T. Marsh, and the art settings by Charles Cad- wallader. MaeMurray’s New Picture In “Fascination,” Mae Murray’s latest production, presented by Rob ert Z. Leonard at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday the famous Metro star turns to Spain for her background. 'in “Fascination” she appears as the daughter of a Spanish father and an American mother.

Watch Florence rise to a de served leadership in the tobacco world. THE BIGHAM TRIAL Another chapter has be«n written in the life of Edmund Bigham. He is the center of interest now. \The others are gone, all except one brother a fugitive from justice, dead as far as this community is concerned. The chains that bound Edmund to society have been replaced with threads. He hangs now by the barest one of these. On July the 14th our fair State will clip that thread, and a man born in the image of his Creator will be sent to that vale “from whence no travel er has ever returned.” Will he die that others might take warning ?—to satisfy that terrible demand “an eye for an eye.” Man the super-animal has built laws that all must abide by. They are not perfect laws, but they have helped to secure for us the peace and security we have today. Twelve men decide to what extent you’ve violated these laws, surely out of twelve men justice will emerge. Edmund had his day, twelve men found him guilty as charged. Theres no doubt about that. No doubt but that the evidence as presented was conclusive. But now at this late hour, there are whis pering’s here and there. There are those who claim that they could have shed light on the case, but held it back through fear of the court. There are those openly questioning the fairness of the trial. This paper is not a court room its officers not officers of the law, but like the court room we are open for conviction. / Elsewhere we are publishing a series of questions by one who doubts. They are drastic in part but since they only seem to be seeking the truth we publish them, we will be glad to publish the most convincing answers to these questions in the next issue of our newspaper. EDITORIAL DIGEST George Harvey gives up wearing knee breeches at court and goes back to American trousers—even when he sees the King. His “reason” is—his legs are too thin for knee breeches.

Europe criticizes us for not calling off Eu ropean debts. All the countries big and lit tle, denounce us but they need not. Let each one that chooses openly, bluntly repudiate its debts. They know that we shall not go to war about money Our little group of patriots would get more out of their dear United States in the first two months of war than we could possibly get from our debts.

And yet I want to add a few words. There on the wall I see the picture of the Crucified—and I pay homage to it. There it hangs in this hall of justice, where you condemn the guilty. But why do we not hear anything of Him in our schools, to which you send your children? Why does Sandot, the murderer, for the first time in his life, see the Crucified here in this hall where the law will punish him? If the attention of my client had been directed to the Crucified when he still sat on the benches of the school, he would not now sit here on the bench of dis grace and infamy. You brag of your educa tion and your culture, and yet are barbarous; you spread atheism and lustfulness among the people, and then are astonished when the people reply with crime and vulgarity.”—The Christian Education. of the Latin temperament and the Anglo-Saxon gives Miss Murray a wonderful opportunity to do remark able acting as Dolores De. Lisa. She portrays the part of a young girl who, revolting against the chaperonage of an aunt, decides to give herself a holiday. Disguising herself in a black wig and holiday garb she at tends a bull fight against the wishes of her aunt. At the bull fight she meets Carrita, a handsome young toreador, who fascinates her immedi ately. It is this fascination that sup plies the main motive for the play, for under its spell Dolores becomes involved in a series of breath-taking incidents. The scenes are elaborate and lav ish.

In many cases considera tion of the circumstances will lead to the appoint ment of a trust company, to act as executor or trus tee, for reasons so generally accepted that they are now almost axiomatic. A few of these reasons are; 1. The financial responsibility of the trust company. 2. Its continued existence; the individual named as executor may die—a corporation has unlimited existence, and the maker of the will, therefore, is as sured that the executor of his choice will be living and competent to act. 3. Accumulated experience; the individual may act as executor once in his lifetime—the corporate executor or trustee whose business it is to act in such matters, is constantly accumulating experience which no individual can hope to possess. 4. Financial judgment; the directors and officers of a well organized corporation, through the general transaction of their business, are usually far better able to invest funds and handle business matters than an individual. 5. An impartial viewpoint; a corporate executor is not concerned in family disputes has no interests to serve ecept the execution of the plain directions in the will and the protection of the interests of the beneficiary. It cannot profit through its acts other than by the commissions which it receives by law. Whoever is appointed executor, all these factors should be borne in mind. The executor selected should be one who reasonably may be expected to be living at the tmie the will goes into effect, should be re sponsible, of good judgment, and absolutely impartial in the exercise of the great trust committed to him. A person making a will should remember, however, the uncertainties of life; that the will may go into effect shortly, and that it may, therefore be his last opportunity to express his wishes in regard to his property. Viewed in this light the will is a very im portant instrument, the wording of which should be exact and clearly express his desires. Therefore, it should be drawn by a competent lawyer who has had experience in such matters. He should be chosen with no less care than would be exercised in any other important act of life. Home made wills are dangerous and too often worthless, for many niceties of language and law must be considered and the manner of execution and declaration given careful attention. If one does not appoint an executor by will, the court will appoint a person to settle the estate, known as an “administrator.” This administrator may be an absolute stranger to the family and pos sibly not one whom the deceased would have cared to consider in such capacity. This Company, through its Trust Department, acts as Executor under wills; Trustee under trusts creat ed by wills; Administrator with the will annexed; Administrator; Committee of the property of incom petent persons; Guardian of the property of infants; Trustee under deeds of trust. The officers will be glad at any time to discuss the business details with any person desiring to make a will or to create a trust.
