More than half of the retail business in town^ of 10,000 and less is the farmer trade. These, facts are based bn statistics gath ered on the subject. The interests of the dealers, and the newspapers in towns of this classification are co-ordinate. They should work together in a friendly spirit. The only practical interest that any of them may have must be along lines that will also be to the farmers’ benefits if it is to be permanently productive. Neither th6 dealer who sells to the farmers or the newspaper pub lisher perform^ the service offered by the other. Neither can either of them perform the service that the farmer may expect from both of them working together. If each works independently and without co-operation with the oili er, they will waste energy, time and effort. They will work at cross purpose and in many cases fail where 6o-operation might have meant success. They need to work together to be effective. tX* - UNIFORM TRAFFIC CODE revision in the University of Wis consin to recommend revolutionary changes which, it is believed, would result in much better work by students and in reduction of the expense of maintaining the uni versity. The basic thought of the new plan is to judge student, not a number of credits, but by his mental attainments. By the yard stick, /students who fall so far be low even minimum results as to show that they are net getting anything of value would be win nowed out. Much more emphasis than heretofore would be placed on attainment and growth by the student than on the mere attend ance of class and the meeting of routine requirements. Unqualified^ students would be excluded at the end of the first two years.' Of every four sopho mores one would be excluded from entering the junior year. Another result would be elimin ation of students who go to the university for a social career. Wis consin, like every other university, is plagued with them, tinder the Credit system they can get by and carry home a diploma which is meaningless. But, judged by intel lectual progress, they would have to show it or go home. t—lXl JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY Several states have adopted uni form traffic regulations as en dorsed by the United States Cham ber of Commerce, and according to A. B. Barber, manager of the traffic department of the body, he says that in those states adopting the code, it has had its effect on reducing auto accidents and fatal ities. Marked discrepancies are dis closed between the North Atlantic States and the Middle Western and Southern States. Between 1920 and 1930 in the North Atlantic States, form Maine to Maryland inclusive, fatalities in creased 64 per cent and automo bile registrations 158 per cent. > During the same period, in the Middle Western States, Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon sin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, fatalities increased (From The Anderson Independent) Almost all the politicians of South . Carolina are Democrats. They are proud of being Demo crats. They boast that they were bom Democrats and are determin ed to die Democrats. Asked what kind of Democrats they are they will boast that they are Simon- pure Jeffersonian Democrats. That U all very fine, but if you pin 99 out of 100 down to a close examin ation, you will find that the$ know little more about Thomas Jefferson than that he Was the founder of the present Democratic party, and that he is one of its patron saints. Andrew Jackson being the other. They know he was the author of the Declaration of Independence and a prolific writer on political questions with a keen insight into underlying principles, but hardly more than one in a hundred has real acquaintance with what Jef ferson really fought for and all tion a part of the gasoline tax for the maintenance and support of their school systems or public building programs. — Spartanburg Journal. X GET THE BEST As the time for the “two-ring” circus approaches—the race for che United States senate and the gov ernorship—the important fact must not be overlooked that a new legislature must be chosen by the electorate of the 46 counties of the state. There was never a time when good legislative material was m^re imperatively needed than right now, when South Carolina has em barked upon a highway building program involving the expendi ture of t&i or twelve million dol lars annually for a period of four or five years. The query has been advanced time and again by think ing men who have some concep tion of values: Is the state com petent to expended millions an nually on any project, however, beneficial and lasting its results, and however, badly needed? Let the voters begin casting about to interest to men and women best qualified for public service in of- ferin their services to the state and respective counties.—Spartan burg Journal. XXI THE ULTIMATE IN LEADERSHIP “What the Democratic party needs,.” says the * Spartanburg Jopmal, “is a man with the ambi tion of Caesar, bridled by the sub missiveness of Socrates, the youth ful eagerness of Alexander vith the longevity if Methusaleh, the moral courage of, Daniel ,wit.i the wisdom of Solpmon and about ten million more votes.” ‘ There was a man who combined all these fine qualities of leader ship, but he was born in 1732, be came the father of his country and CHURCH MEMBERSHIP only cream may cool their milk or tream by setting a covered barrel, through which water may be pumped, in the ground between the pump and the stock tank.

X A man who can read a Sunday newspaper after someone else has gone through it, sure deserves a Carnegie medal. The annual census of the Christ ian Herald shows an increase of only 300,000 in the membership-of Christian denominations in the United States last year, compared with an increase of 1,000,000 the year before. Dr. H. K. Carroll, compiler of the census, interprets the figures thus: “The church is not dying, as some cynics would have us believe. And if it is losing its hold oi^ the people, there is nothing in these statistics to show it. During a year when business receded, when many publications lost circulation, when the membership of hundreds of civil and social organizations drop ped notably, it would have been an achievement for the religious bodies merely to hold their own. But they have done better—they have gained, made one of the most remarkable gains, all things con sidered, since the days before the great war.”—Hendersonville Times- News. X Spraying The Bean Beetle Spraying with magnesium arsen ate is recommend by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture for con trol of the Mexican bean beetle, which now infests most of the States east of tjie Mississippi Riv*- er. Use 2 pounds of magnesium arsenate to 100 gallons of water, beginning to spray when the adult beetles are found in the field. As the beans grow, the new foliage should be sprayed again at weekly or ten-day intervals, especially if the pest is abundant. Three or four applications may be necessary but ordinarily two thorough treat ments will protect the snap bean crop. It is essential to spray the undersides of the leaves of the plant, where the beetles feed. Mag nesium arsenate is poisonous to man alao and should be handled with care. Snap beans should not be sprayed when pods have begun 100 per cent while registrations in- claim to be Jeffersonian Demo- creased only 126 per cent. ! crats while championing policies In the Southern States, Virginia, | as foreign to the tenets of Jeffer- North and South Carolina, Ken- 1 son as it is possible for policies to tucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and be.
