We desire to call attention to the ndtice which appears in another col umn of this paper regarding vacan cies for the coming scholastic year in Citadel scholarships. Applicants are required to fill out certain blanks, and we would advise our ambitious boys who are completing their high school cCurses this year, to write to the Citadel authorities for the necessary forms. The need today for well trained men in all departments of life is more exigent than ever before, and at the Citadel a young man secures through the military discipline as well as the class ro(?m work, a train ing which vastly improves his chance fcr success and hence for service both to his community and to ' the State. By means of the scholarships provided by the State an opportunity is presented to the young man cf ability, but of limited means, to se cure a training v/hich would other wise be impossible.

I The Type Which Is Needed Today It takes all kinds of people to make a community, but some are more indispensable than ethers. There are those who go through life with a smooth serenity that is seldom if ever disturbed. They are never ruffled because they do not ex ert themselves enough to go thor oughly into a condition of affairs that demands their attention. They 1 scarcely ever do any harm in the world and rarely trouble themselves enough to do any good. They are gen erally popular, but they command little admiration. Then there is a second kind who never hesitate tc speak their mind when the occasion demands it. As a rule, they .are fair students cf men and affairs, they are willing to make an effort to get the facts, reach a conclusion - after a careful study of the situation, and then stand by their convictions., whatever the conse quences. They give praise where it is due and they are not afraid to criticise, where criticism is neces sary. They are the constructive cit izens of the community, and right or wrong, they are very much to be de sired, because they are honest in their opinions. And the third kind—need we men tion him at all—the chronic kickers who see no good in anything, wfio question others’ motives and who never were known to compliment any good deed or any public-spirited movement. They came into the world kicking, go through life with one perpetual kick and raise an aw ful kick when they have to leave. They are a destructive fcrce in so ciety, but more destructive to them selves. The calm and placid citizens are not undesirable, the chronic grouch es are very undesirable, but most desirable of all are the citizens who are a constructive force for good. X Taxpayers Respon- ’ sible For High Taxes i ■ “People will never solve their tax problems unless they possess the facts,” says Dr. Milbank Johnson, who has made a thorough study of tax fundamentals. “Anyone who damns officials for crookedness and graft has a mighty weak basis for solving his tax prob lems. Anyone, however, who can go to the officials of the community and show them the actual facts, show them the methods of obtaining those facts, and arouse confidence in those facts, will do a great work. You will find that they are usually very glad to follow any reasonable advice you may give them. “Taxpayers themselves, because of the'r demands on government, are responsible for high taxes. Until theyi stop to think and to plan their bud- g-ets for the future, as well as those 1 for the present, the taxpayers are j going to be in the same condition as the householder or family that takes' no thought for the morrow.” X The enthusiastic seed catalogue gardener of this time of the year, is usually the disgusted owner of the most handserme weed plot along in August. Bob Quillen and Old Man Ball, two of South Carolina’s best editors, insist on bringing up the governor’s thousand dollar rug again. We don’t think they are exactly fair in doing such a thing. Bob knows that gov ernors must have rugs beneath their feet, and old Man Billy knows it too. So, what’s the use of all the argu ment. But, those boys will argue, so we might just as well listen to what they are mouthing about: “South Carolina people buy few expensive rugs and stores seldom keep them in stock. It is therefore fair to assume that the governor’s rug was ordered from a distant dealer. That assumption suggests a fearful possibility. It is possible ‘ that the governor’s rug traveled on Sunday!” This ribald expression is from the ; Fountain Inn Tribune, which is of, the unregenerate. The News and Courier would sayj again that the purchase of a rug, for the executive office, that cost $1,165 was the manifestation of a beard and catholic spirit. It proved that the incumbent administration in South Carolinr } as ideas in keeping with the dignity of a great common wealth, in which the wealth might be commoner. The News and Courier opines that a rug fit for the governor’s office could not have been purchased for less than $1,165, whether or not, as that son of Belial, the Fountain Inn Tribune, hints it was “a bargain marked down from $1,500. We expect to defend the purchase of the rug at every opportunity as long as it lasts, to take it out about once a month, hang it in the sun shine, and beat the dust out o r it. Ncr is there any reason to suspect that it traveled on Sunday, as the trip from New York to Philadelphia to Columbia by fast freight may bo made in 2 or three days. If ; t trav eled on Sunday between some heath en land of the Orient across the At lantic. it was then a heathen rug with an unenlightened conscience. South Carolina is not answerable for the antics of a rug so long as it remains Mohammedan. That remark of The Fountain Inn Tribune was a lick below the belt.

House leaders also speeded up machinery and after a number of conferences with the pres ident the measure was approved by an cverwheming vote. Mr. Coolidge’s action in signing the measure received widespread ap proval at the capital where leaders in recent weeks made a number of efforts to revise sections of the bill to meet objections he had raised. Chairman Reed of the house flood control committee, who was in charge of the bill in that body, said the president’s “fairness” in dealing with the subject hnd won the admir ation of the entire ration. “The signing of the bill marks an epoch in the history of the United States,” he added. “It is the great est piece of constructive legislation ever enacted by congress.” Speaker Longwdrth declared that he thought “it was a very good thing to have gotten the bill out of the way in a manner satisfactory to both the executive and legislative branch of the government.” The new law authorized an appro priation of $325,000,000 f^r carrying out the work. The major share of this amount will be used for control ling the flood waters from Cape Gir ardeau, Missouri, to the Gulf of Mex ico, except fdr furnishing by the states of the land needed for the foundations for the levees on the main river. This land is expected to cost only $500,000.

DETROIT, Mich., May 15.—As surance that production of the Chev rolet Motor Company this year would top by a wide margin the mil- i ^ on un its built a year ago was felt here today with the announcement by W. S. Knudsen, president and gen eral manager, that April was the third consecutive month this year to set a new all-time monthly produc tion record for the manufacture of gear shift cars. Chevrolet volume for the month just ended, Mr. Knudsen announced, was 135,832 cars and trucks—an in crease of more than 20,000 over the 111,939 units built in the same per iod a year ago and more than twice the output in April, 1925. Of the April volume this year, more than 100,000 units were required for the domestic market, Mr. Knudsen said. Not only did April set a new rec ord fcr the month, but it topped by 2,000 units the output for March, 1928, which was the previous high ‘month. March also was 17,000 units i in excess of February, 1928, which in turn had exceeded all previous per formances in the history of the com pany. Combing the output cf these three months with the 32,000 Bigger and Better Chevrolets built fcY display purposes i n December, and the 91,- 000 turned out in January, the total output of new 1928 models up to May 1, was in excess of half the en tire output in ' 1927. With eight months remaining in the year, op timism everywhere abounded i n the Chevrolet organization that the year’s output would shoot well be yond the million car mark. The record volume achieved to date, and the bright outlook for the future, show the measure of confid ence placed in the company by the millions 1 of pecple now driving Chevrolets, Mr. Knudsen pointed out. He asserted that this good will fac tor is Chevrolet’s greatest asset and puts the company under obligation to maintain the standards of quality which the public has so overwhelm ingly accepted, thus making, possible the new production marks row being set. In addition to the high figures already hung up so far this year, still higher records are possible, Mr. Knudsen said. He pointed out that the fifteen great Chevrolet factories are operating on. a sched ule for the present month that may carry them beyond the high volume attained in April. This would be possible, Mr. Knudsen explained, be cause the capacity of the other Chevrolet plants was increased in April by a new assembly plant open ed at Atlanta, Ga., with a peak cap acity of 100,000 cars a year.
