The WEEKLY NEWS REVIEW
P. O. 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.

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.

Mysterious Force
At Work In
Florence
A mysterious force is working in
Florence. 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.

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.

This stupendous sum running way up into
the billions represents the confidence our
old world. 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.

* “TAR BABY FIVE” AT TEA ROOM *
% *
************************************
The Idle Hour Tea Room, located at the
intersection of the Loop Road and the Tim-
monsville Road, owned and managed by B. 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.
