For every dollar the Southern
States contributed last year to the
Red Cross, the organization spent one
dollar and twenty.five cents in this
section of the country. The Red Cross
oses its funds where needed, no matter
from whence the money comes.
The Red Cross used last year three
and three-tenths per centum for ad
ministratioon, rents, ana an oiner expenses,
and placed ninety-six and seven-"enths
per centum directly towards
relieving human suffering and promoting
human welfare.
Let everybody wear the little Red
Cross button during the Roll Call
from November 11 to November 2
*
inclusive. Wearing the button means
that you are a member of the organization
and approve its labors reclaiming
men and promoting human welfare.

The System is Wrong.
(From the Lancaster News)
The Southern Cultivator, a farm
paper published in Atlanta, thinks
the salvation of the farmer lies in
the diversification of crops?the "hog
and hominy" doctrine, which has been
preached since the memory of man
runneth not to the cont-ary, but
which has been practiced by few
farmers in this part of the country.
Says the cultivator:
"We have hundreds of farmers
abusing their calling and saying they
are going to quit. We do not blame
any one for quitting if he can do better
elsewhere. We have never been
ne of those to cry "stay on the
Farm" or "Back to 'the Farm." This
is all gotten up by man who want
farmers to make a cheap living for
them, while they stay in the cities.
But we do want to champion the truth
always and to help those on the farms
in every way that we can. Now, the
farm is not to blame for our troubles;
the fault lies in the system that we
are following. On our recent trip up
North, we found that the farmers in
the grain belt were ten times as well
off as the cotton farmers. Why?
They grow something to eat They
could live at home and sell thA surplus.
They do not repuire so much labor
to produce a crop. The cotton farm-1
er produces what he cannot use?wnat
he must turn into quick money?what
the buyers and mill men arc always
planning to &et as cheaply as possible.
We farm to make money and
this gets; us into trouble. If we
farmed to make a living the money
f would come in as a by-product. It
would be far better not to abuse the
fundamental calling upon which all
others rest, but to plant more wisely
to make it more independent. It ic
not farming that causes our trouble
but it is the way we have been fan j
ing. No v hundreds will quit anotl."
year, and we do not wish them ill,
but on the other hand we wish them
well. Still they wil^ind that trouble
does not dwell in me country alone.
To those who will endeavor to change
for the better another year, we extend
a cordial hand. Farming in the
eotton belt can be made to pay. It
can be made a business that will give
in return a fair profit and much pleasure.
But to get this much out of it,
you must put into it wise planning
and conservative work. Three thous-'
and years ago the old Lotius found
this much out: "That prudence was the
better part of valor." 1921 is a year
to practice this old adage."

RECENT DOE LAW
HELD DEFECTIVE1
i
GEORGETOWN MAGISTRATE CONTENDS
THAT ACT IS NOT
GENERAL
A. I). Richardson, magistrate for
Georgetown county has rendered an
opinion in his court holding the act
of the legislature passed last year
prohibiting the killing of any doe
in South Carolina for period of five
years to be unconstitutional, in that
it exempts Berkeley county and is
therefore not general. The opinion
was received by Chief Game Warden
Gibbes yesterday and it will have a
decided effect on deer hunting in
Georgetown county as well as other
counties.
The case arose out of the trial of
Elvo King at Georgetown. King was
charged with violating the law and
he pleaded not guilty, holding that
the act was not constitutional. Magistrate
Harrelson heart 1 the case and
decided that Mr. King was within his
I rights and released the defendant.
In his brief filed with the chief
igahie warden the magistrate points
out that the supreme court in the
case of Dean vs. Spartanburg county
ruled that in order that a law may be
general it ust be of force in every
county in the State. The magistrate)
further cites thatthe general assem-1
bly erred in the passage of the act
in that Berkeley was exempt from
its provisions.
The defendant, Elvo King, contended
that the act Avas unconstitutional
for the same reason. "The law is not
general and therefore is a special act
and conflicts with Section 34 of Article
III of the State constitution, and,
therefore, without any force or eifect,"
the magistrate concludes.
Chief Warden Gibbes said yesterday
his opinion was with the magistrate
as he had felt all along that
[the law was not constitutional,
o
On Growing Old
(From the Pendleton East Oregonian)
The most inevitable?and one of the
easiest?of the things we do is to
grow old. Yet what a difference in
the way different people do it!
You probably know, for instance,
I some little old lady who, although I
she may not be beautiful or brilliant,
is just "nice"?which is apt to mean
that instead of bossing or scolding
she tries not to be troublesome or unreasonable
to those around her. Or
rather, she does not have to try, for
it is a characteristic of elderly human
beings that they seldom try very hard
to form new habits. Youth is the period
of endeavor, and old age of results.
This is the reason for the futility
of young folks' displeasure at
their parents' "old fashioned" ideas.
Such ideas are fixed; they will not
change.
Yet, not all elderly people are agebound
in their thoughts; many can be
telerant of inovations, and a few can
even adopt them. Such a flexible
condition of the elderly mind is, likel
the rigid, intoleran. sort, a product |
of earlier ' fe and habits; it is not like
ly to indicate any particular good or
evil trait in the person possessing it.
If the young man or woman who
feels impatient at the old folks' notions
will cease to shrug a shoulder
and exclaim "I hope I'm not like that
when I'm old," and will turn his attention
to the younger generation,
starting with himself, he is likely to
do much more for human progress.
1 1 Al..
When he himseu nas reacneu uic
of fixed ideas his character will depend
on his previous habits of mind;
if he has kept himself free from prejudice
and cocksureness and has taken
always willing to learn better ways of
thinking and doing, he will be likely
to remain correspondingly more rational
with advancipg years, and will,
in truth, not be "like that" when he
is old.

At her home near Greelyville, on W
the evening of November 12th, 1919, V
Maggie Montgomery Greene, wife of X
J. E. Greene, quietly passed into the n?
home of the blest. 4*
"Ah, broken is the golden bowl? ^
The spirit flown forever;
Let the bell toll, a saintly soul ?
Floats over the Stygian river." X
Besides her husband and one daugh- T
ter, Miss Hazel Greene, she is sur- t
vived by her mother, Mrs. S. I. Montgomery,
and the following sisters T
and brothers: Mrs. Aussie Tate Mrs. 1 j?
J. E. King, Mrs. R. H. Footman, Mrs. X

Messrs. Clarence ana Aiex luumguui- rr~
ery, all of Greelyville, Mr. S. W. Um
Montgomery of Kingstree, Mrs. W. ft
N. Clarkson of Heinemann, and Mrs. v
T. C. Coker of Newberry. S
Early in life she became a member ft
of the Presbyterian church, in which jf
she lived a consistent member. She
was a sufferer for many months, but ft
was brave, cheerful and patient under V
her invalidism, abeautiful example of ??
a noble christian woman. The great- ft
est thing in her life was her firm
trust in God. She was not afraid, bf
and her thoughts were always for her ft
loved ones. She was loving, kind and V
faithful in all the relations of life. B
She served others, herself she forgot, ft
Her unselfishness was shown by the T
comfort and sunshine she brought ^
into the lives of others. ft
A strength of will, a determination V
of purpose, an unflinching adherence SI
to duty, united to a heart filled with
love and sympathy, binding those near T
her with the strong cords of deep abid- !?
ing love that the hand of death can- ?
not break. VJ
No longer does the weak and mortal X
frame incarcerate the eternal. She is T
gone. And yet the living,listening 4"
spirit can almost seem to catch the 4
faintest ultimate echo of her strain,
borne back across the river. Her vj
Father tenderly led her faultering K
footsteps gently to "the valley of the ft

But who can say her loved ones are
forgotten in her joy? Or that the
soul so watchful before does not steal S
back to earth again to whisper cheer Jr
and comfort to the listening ear?
She is gone; but memory, prompted b^a
by love, clings to the relics of the
fading past so tenaciously that her jvj
influence cannot die. ?
"In the land where the roses never K
fade, ?
Where no sin, neither sorrow, dare b^
invade, ??
We shall meet our loved ones there,
And eternal jcy snare;
In the land where the roses never W
fade." M
