SHERIFFS SALE This Week h Arthur Brisbane Mr. Sloan Cheerful # Bones of Long Ago Siam's Wise King Rays That Pierce Steel What the world needs more than anything else just now is optimism, especially in America, with call mon ey at 1 per cent and “too much” of everything. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors, refuses to join the downhearted, panic-stricken. He says Jbe automobile industry has reached Idle “bottom of the cycle of depres- £fon, and has begun a slow but sure return to normal conditions. Tills Is apparent, not only in the automobile business, but in all lines of indus try.” In Greenwich Village 100 years ago respectable citizens were burled in a quiet graveyard. As they bought their graves each probably thought, “Here I shall rest in peace until Gabriel cornes to get me.” But New York city needs the land and steam shovels are now digging up the graveyard. Bones are mixed, the skull of one young lady perhaps near the feet of some old man—a gruesome travesty of the Uuth-Bonz Incident. Police “guard the bones,” and they will be buried to finish the “dust to dust” process elsewhere. Fortunately those dead of 100 years ago are really not injured. And, anyhow, in the course of time, in a few million* million years at most, this earth Itself will go back to cos mic dust. The finest grave is only temporary. We must look elsewhere for comfort. The king of Siam, who suffers from a dangerous infection of the eye, .would have known just what to do before civilized science came. He would have gone to the tem ple. Priests of the strange Siamese religion would have gone through many motions, calling upon powers invisible of light and darkness. Then the king would have died of his infection probably. Things have changed. This modern king of Siam says to his priests: “Much obliged, but this is real ill ness and I can’t afford to depend on imaginary cures.” He is coming to Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore.

Sheriff’s Office, McCormick C. F S. C„ Sept. 15. 1930.—31 Those still young remember the first announcement of the X-rays. Pictures showed dimly outlined skeletons of rots or cats revealed by X-ray pene tration. Next cuine X-r;;y pictures of brok en bone:*. Now the X-ray is as much a part of industry as it is of surgery and medicine. According to the latest amazing an nouncements, the “Gamma ray” en ables, scientists to look through solid steel, beams of skyscrapers or the armor of battleships. Thus weak spots can be detected, any defect inside of the metal being actually “seen.” This reminds you that men can do whatever they can . imagine.

See A. J. Hend rix, McCormick or Mrs. Cora E. Merritt, Piedmont, S. C., Rt. 2. Gasoline prices are cut in Britain and Holland. Prices that automobile owners pay in Europe add one to your million reasons for being glad you live in America. In Holland, ns In France, they sell gasoline by the quart, not by the gal Ion. The price. In Holland is now cut to'10 cents a quart. Imagine paying that. No wonder Sir Henri Deterding, bos* of the big Dutch oil company, c^R-dfford to fight American oil men «^€beir home grounds! David Weinberg, forty-four, a tailor, has learned that saying what you think is sometimes dangerous. He was interested : in Communism and dis cussed it with ills neighbors in Miami, so the police say. And he had books on the subject. Men kidnaped him from his house, took him in an automobile, stripped him naked, beat him, tarred, feathered. Ixandcuffed him, wrapped him up in a white hooded cloak, then threw him out of the automobile in bis own neighborhood. Bellvue Home Demonstration Club The Bellvue Home Demonstra tion Club met at the home of Mrs. J. B. Branch Thursday afternoon, September 25th. . The president, Mrs. J. J. Hester, called the meeting to order and lead devotionals, reading the scrip tures and prayer. She asked for the roll call and requested each one to respond to her name with a recipe. The secretary tlifcn read the minutes of the last meeting. After the approval of the minutes, Mrs. Stallworth stated that we would reorganize and elect new officers. Mrs. Hester, asked Mrs. C. D. Cowan to take the chair. Mrs. J. J. Hester was re-elected president; vice-president, Mrs. Gettys; secre tary and treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Britt; reporter, Mrs. C. D. Cowan. As the reports all had to go in soon cards and papers were hand ed in. Mrs. Stallworth gave an inter esting demonstration on vegetables, using creamed carrots and aspara gus. Miss May Wylie and Miss Guy were present apd added their names to our roll. Mrs. Branch, the hostess, served a delightful salad course with ice tea. At a late hour the meeting ad- journey. The following resolutions were adopted by our club to the memory of our beloved member, Mrs. Janie Wardlaw Morrah: “To live in hearts we leave be hind is not to die.” On Friday evening July 25th, our hearts were saddened by the news of the passing of one of our be loved club members, Mrs. Janie Wardlaw Morrah. We bow in meek submission to the will of our Heavenly Father who has gathered another of; His children to His bosom. Mrs. Morrah had been a resident of Bellvue many years and had taken an active part in the relig ious, social and civic life of the community. , Her home was known for its hos pitality and all who entered its doors felt the influence of her sweet nature and gentle spirit. The sunshine of her godly life will con tinue to brighten our lives and her memory will be ever fresh in our hearts. Therefore, be it resolved by the Bellvue Home ‘ Demonstration Club, that in the death of Mrs. Morrah our Club has lost a valuable and muckr Moved member who herself was a model home-maker, and whose daily living was an example of _the highest ideals of our club work. She will be rpissed by us all. Resolved further, that a page in our minutes be set aside and ded icated to her memory, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to her , husband, whose faithful companion she was for so many years. * K , MRS.

Secretary La moot, head of the De partment of Commerce, finds a bright spot in the low prices of raw goods. Big industries, taking advantage of low prices, purchase great quantities of materials. In the career of Henry Phipps, who died recently, ninety-one years old, there is a moral for millions of young men. A great majority will not be interested in the moral, but here it is: More than 70 years ago Henry Phipps, young clerk In a hardware store in Ohio, sold powder to coal miners, other things to other people. And when his work was done he walked eight miles there and eight miles back to keep books for a black smith and ironworker unable to keep accounts. : That blacksmith, with Carnegie and Phipps, went into the steel business. They prospered. Phipps undoubtedly had business genius, as had Carnegie. But if Phipps had not been willing to walk eight Miles there and back to earn a few extra dollars a month, and get ahead In the world, he wouldn’t have gone into business with Carnegie, and he would not now be leaving many mil lions to his children. rCk ms. ay KUur Features Syndic*l*. lac.

E. Jones, the highway commission chairman, who is to sit in the house of representatives for Lexington county, told The State late last night. The bills hit directly at reduction of expenses, at nepotism, at length of legislative sessions, at lobbying and other things described by be cut 20 per cent. 5. No one on full-time pay for the state can work on the side for private gain. 6. All legislative sessions limited to 20 days. 7. No member of the legislature can represent special interest, for pay, before any department or commission of the state govern ment. Nor can any lieutenant gov ernor or governor represent before a state department special interests for two years after leaving office. “Does all that sound like I’m a Red,” the legislator-to-be inquired? He declared that other bills, al so of “importance” would be intro duced and would have backing from legislators from many sec tions of the state. Referring to “Bill No. 2” he said that one family in the state had 30 members on the state’s payroll and that several others had as many as a dozen members receiving their pay from South Carolina. He sug gests a civil service bureau to handle all departmental employ ment. The legislative sessions, he said, could be curtailed to 20 days if a bill is passed which, after stipulat ing a legislator’s salary, would al so specify that for -each day over 20 days the salary would be reduced $10. He would also incorporate a section to have all lobbyists regis ter, giving the interest represented, before they are allowed to appear in any committee room or before either house of the general assemb- !y. ? The proposed bill requiring a per centage of the party enrollment to request a candidate to offer for governor before the candidate can qualify is in effect in several states. It will, Mr. Jones believes, reduce the number of gubernatorial can didates. X S. C.
