Box 14 Entered at the postoffice at Florence, S. C., as second makes it clear that the world's problem is not so much giving freedom to varied people as making people fit for freedom. Consider ably more than a thousand million human beings on earth are not fit for it yet. That able Jewish newspaper, The Day, asks: “Is education necessary to success? Henry Ford will answer no, and prove it. Fortunately he is right, f6r there are prob ably fewer than 1,000 really educated men in America. Mere going to college reading books, knowing historical dates, or having sopped up knowledge, is not education. Of educated men the greatest number are in Germany; next comes France, then England, Italy, Russia or this country would compete for fourth place. Real education comes through passionate seeking for knowledge for years after preliminary school education is ended. The test of education is what it produces, not what it knows by heart. class matter Rupture Expert Here SEELEY, FAMOUS IN THIS SPE CIALTY, CALLED TO FLORENCE F. H. Seeley, of Chicago and Phila delphia, the noted truss expert, will personally be at the Florence Hotel, and will remain in Florence Saturday only, July 1st. Mr. Seeley says: “The Spermatic Shield will not only retain any case of rupture perfectly, but contracts the opening in 10 days on the average case.' Being a vast ad vancement over all former methods —exemplifying instantaneous effects immediately appreciable and with standing any strain or position no matter the size or location. Large or difficult cases, or incissional rupture (following operations) specially solic ited. This instrument received the only award in England and in Spain, producing results without surgery, injections, medical treatments or pre scriptions. Mr. Seeley has documents from the United States Government, Washington, D. C., for inspection. He will be glad to demonstrate without I charge or fit them if desired. Busi ness demands prevent stopping at any other place in this section. P. S.—Every staiemem in tnis no tice has been verified before the Fed eral and State Courts.—F. H. Seeley.

Whether night or day it is fleeting through your home, around your children; the very air you breathe contains it. No matter if you are aged and infirm, or young and healthy its mysterious fascina tion is the same. It makes no dis crimination between rich or poor, but goes journeying on, gladening hearts and spreading sunshine to those who are prepared to receive its benefits. Are you prepared to receive the mu sic, the fun, the entertainment, the crop and weather reports and the latest news from all over the world? E. U. Mack, 123 E. Evans street, Flor ence, S. C., can install a complete radio receiving set in your home, and put you in touch with the things men tioned above. Ask him to tell you about those he has already installed. —adv. New York.—It is not necessary to day to have a bridal gown of heavy satin, glorious though that material always is. Some of the June brides will be married in white organdie inset with fine lace—Valenciennes is the favorite—the organdie mounted over white taffeta. For a wedding at the country estate organdie is par ticularly suitable. Atlantic City.—One of the most comfortable gowns seen on the board walk recently was no more nor less than a slip-on negligee. It was of navy georgette, made in straight folks with sleeves that hung from shoulder to hem. The girdle was a mere ribbon of navy taffeta. One of the sleeves was edged with silver braid and came to the elbow. Criminal Court At Georgetown Georgetown.—The June term of the criminal court was held here this week, Judge bmpp presiding. Solici tor L. M. Gasque and Stenographer F. F. Covington, were also present. Most of the cases on docket were for violation of the prohibition laws some of them of a very flimsy and petty character, resulting in findings of not guilty, in a few instances. The court got down to work promptly at 10 o’clock Monday, and adjourned late Tuesday afternoon. After the court adjourned the judge and a small party of fishermen went to North Island, bass fishing and the judge landed a 36-pound bass. Paris.—Tiny shoulder straps of pearl and metal are used on some of the summer lingerie instead of rib bons that so easily wrinkle and soil. Some time ago there came into exist ence the thin silver or gold cord, re placing the ribbon shoulder stap. The idea of the silver or gold cord or chain was that it would be invisi ble. THE MURDERER'S FATE? The triple electrocution Friday and the dying prayers of the condemned brings this thought to mind. These men about to be rocked to sleep by death, that kind old nurse, became as little children, penitent and pleading for forgive ness. Were they forgiven? Did the Judgement of the Law only set them free to enter the grand Eternal Life? Was the law of the land (supposed to be founded on the law of Moses) thus robbed of its vindication? Could the heart of such beasts really be softened to the degree manifested at their death. Or was it but the dispairing gasp of lost souls, drowning in the sea of Hades, catching at the last straw left them: the Christian teachings of their good mothers remembered with flashing vividness, but per haps too late. WAR DEBTS TO U. S. The following is a list of the war debts due the United States by various nations of the world: Armenia $ 13,137,466 Austria 25,499,051 Belgium 420,263,997 Cuba 8,147,000 Czechoslovakia 102,328,599 Esthonia * 15,694,148 Finland ^ 9,005,082 France .1 3,716,022,020 Great Britain 4,675,497,101 Greece 15,000,000 Hungary 1,837,560 Italy 1,850,313,781 .

It does not take into considera tion the billions loaned by private concerns, government placed in the governments of the such as the Morgan Banking Interests. How much of our present business stagnation is due to this unwise and free lending is hard to surmise. The private concerns are getting their money, they usually do. The govern ment is not getting the interest. England alone, of all the debtors, seems concerned about paying us. EDITORIAL DIGEST William Hobenzollern, once kaiser, saw the Shackleton South Pole moving picture. At the farthest point south on the globe the picture showed the British flag hoisted as the band played “God Save the King.” The ex kaiser stood up with the others, showing that unlike the Bourbons, a Hohenzollern CAN learn something. William of Hohenzollern has learned that it was a mistake to get into a fight with his cousin George. Not that George is personally much of a fighter, but he had many resources, and at least one real statesman. “England gives Egypt freedom,” Schwab, when he watched the little log chasing the express train wondered what the dog would do with it if he caught it. What will Egypt do with freedom, assuming that she is to get it? It is one thing to have freedom, another to know how to use it. Establish self-gov ernment in the zoological garden, open the cages and see what happens. Bryce’s last book on modern democracy Dempsey, the prize fighter, has been offer ed $350,000 to fight with a negro before a howling crowd of savages that will gladly pay a million to see negro or white man knocked unconscious long enough to count ten. If the negro wins, some more money might be made by having him fight an orangoutang, although that fight would not last long—two seconds at most. Consider the Nobel prizes for literature, physics and all other achievements of learn ing combined amount to less than the amount paid to see one two-legged animal knock an other unconscious, and you know where we stand, as a race in education. Even Bernard Shaw, who thinks he is civilized, can write more earnestly about prize fights than about grand opera. Advertising is to newspapers what the commissariat is to armies. No food, no army fighting; no advertising no newspaper fight ing. A newspaper cannot live by virtue alone. Hence newspaper publishers are in terested in news from Mr. Kobler, commonly called “the bloodhound of advertising.” In one single section of the Hearst Sunday news papers yesterday, “The American Weekly,” Kobler published one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars’ worth of advertising, break ing all records, including his own. This shows publishers that prosperity is still breathing, and justifies the line under Koh ler’s coat of arms, Palmam Qui Meruit Ferat. Advertising clubs of the world gathered at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, represent most im portant work—distribution. We know how to make what we want in factories, how to raise in out of the ground, how to pile it up on shelves of libraries. The great problem is how to distribute it; how to get water from oceans and lakes onto dry land, knowledge from books into men’s heads, goods from the factories into men’s hands, food from farms into men’s stomachs. ************************************ | PARISH HOUSE TO OPEN % at :|c *************.*********************** On Friday evening, June 30th, the formal opening of the Parish House of §t.

F. Meredith, is very popular. On last Friday night the orchestra of the University of North Carolina, or “The Tar Baby Five,” con sisting of seven young men with their direc tor, came to Florence, but did not arrive in time to furnish the music for that evening, having had tire trouble. They, however, played on Saturday night and the crowd was delighted with the music furnished. “The Tar Baby Five” has been engaged by Mr. Meredith for the entire season. They are camping on the premises and will give Sun day afternoon concerts lasting about three hours. These concerts are free and the pub lic is cordially invited to attend. Miss Florence Barnwell entertained her Sunday School class of nine boys at the home of her sister, Mrs. I. L. Tobin on McQueen street, on Wednesday afternoon. A number of their little friends were invited. Re freshments were served and games played. The boy’s prize was won by John Zeigler, Jr., and the girl’s prize by Virginia Zeigler.
