THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1922
In this number of The County Record
will be found the announcement
of two of our well known and deservedly
popular citizens for office.
One for the legislature, the other
for the state senate, Messrs William
R. Scott and William Willis Boddie
respectively. We believe that with the
wide and successful business experience
of each of these gentlemen, they
will, if elected, render valuable and
efficient sendee to their county and
state.
The fish law goes into affect today,
June 1, and the season for taking
fish from the streams in this county
in any manner whatsoever until August
1, is closed. In other words the
fishing season is closed from this day
until August 1 and it will be a violation
of the law, punishable by fine
and imDrisonment, to take fish from
the streams or lakes in this county
during this closed season. It is hoped
that every lover of the >port and also
those who are inclined to take
fish indiscriminately will refrain
from violating this law. It has been
in force now for several years and
has prov i to be a very good one for
the protection and propagation of
fish. But whether it is or is
not a" g 'od law the fact remainthat
it a law, duly enacted and
placed u:*m the statute books of the
state and so long as it remains there
without modification or annul lmer.t
it should be obeyed.
Mr. G. B. Marvin, formerly superintendent
of the Sumter Light and
Water plant has recently accepted a
position here with the Kingstree
Electric light and Ice Co. He will
have charge of the lines and transmission.
He is a very competent man
and expects to move his family here
as soon as he can locate a residence.
Mr. Mar*in is an expert pump man
and we i -e informed that it is the
present in ?ntion of the company to
install electrical pumps at the town's
t- l-i r\ nit rnnca c\i
paiiipiu^; .Hauvw X\jl pui pvov v*
pumping water and he will have
charge of this work also. Mr. F. B.
Adams, general manager of the lighting
and ice plant says he has a very
competent force in charge night and
day and that everything is moving
along smoothly. The County Record
is gratified to learn that this company
has a brighter prospect. We
want to see every home and every
business in Kingstree electrically
equipped by the end of the present
year.

PLAIN FACTS SHOW
PROSPERITY RETURNING.
Building Increases, Unemployment
Decreases, According to Uncle
Sam's Figures.
Government compiled statistics
show that a marked revival of building
has been in progress for the last
year, building permits being two or
three hundred per cent more numerous
than in the period of great de
pression. Combined dwellings and
stores have been the most popular
new buildings, double dwellings next,
with apartments a close third, single
dwellings a fourth, and purely business
structures last in comparative
figures of erection.
New Jersey cannot find enough
hands for ,ier building jobs. Michigan
reports more opportunities than automobile
mechanics, and Minnesota and
other northwest sections are asking
for farming help.
General business conditions through*
out the country as reflected in reports
made to the Department of Labor Employment
.Service show plainly in the
fact that in 60 cities where studies
were made in April showed 40 in
which more workers were given place;
on pay rolls, and only 2-t in which
employment decreased.
'"Despite a few disquieting Indus
trial features," .-said Director General ?Jones
of the Department of Labor, I
"America is surely righting herself. I
April recorded an upward movement,,
with industrial lines broadening out.
which will show increased activity in th
succeeding months." cl
The increase in the number of men j cl
employee! by 1,428 firms which report ai
to the department was 74-100 of 1 per b;
cent, in the month. New York show- r?
ed a decrease in employment of 7-10. di
of 1 per cent, and Chicago of 5.5 j
per cent. j cl

tion of the General Federation of j d<

general of Indiana, calls attention to S'
the fact that the United States Gov- cl
eiT.ment now spends four times as D
much per head on cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs of the country as it spends lo
per capita on its school children, and tl
that the women of the General Feder- m
ation fee! that the children should p:
, at least be on a par with fish, hens ai
and hogs. * hi
They are much concerned over the n
critical situation of the Towner-Ster- w
ling bill which provides for a depart- it
ment of education with a secretary f<
in the cabinet and for federal aid to ri
the states in the promotion of educa- st
tion, including the training of teach- in
ers, the teaching of adults, vocational
training, and assisting in payment of cl
teachers' salaries. ai

on the reorganization of departments, fi
where it is being considered with an- ti
other bill for a department of public t
1 welfare, in which education will have
only a part. The women of the fed- c<
eration feel that it should not be sub- a:
ordinated to other departments and e:
1 should be dignified by a separate place
in the cabinet, as is done in other
countries, with a trained educator at ci
the head. g

MASONIC TEMPLE FOR b<
BEAUTIFUL CAPITAL SITE.|tj
Order Plans Magnificent Building on I
Nine-acre Tract in Northwest
Washington. m
I w
In the very heart of the most ex!
elusive and beautiful residential sec- js
tion of northwest Washington, D. C.,
lies the "Dean tract" of land, nine ?]
acres in extent, covered with magnifi- 0,
i cent trees, and the most coveted and rj
eagerly desired piece of land in all a]
the District of Columbia. It was re- b<
i cently purchased by The Women's jj
Foundation to preserve it from real 0l
estate accression. K,
Now the tract has been sold to the u
Masonic fraternity of the District, ^
which will erect upon it a temple to p
cost one or more million dollars. The a,
land was purchased for a considera- a]
tion understood to be $900,000. and is jf
amply large enough to permit the cj
erection of several temples should
such be found desirable. w
Civic authorities are loud in their ft
praise of The Women's Foundation, st
which declined to permit the beautiful
park to be cut up into building lots j,i
or disposed of to anyone for any pur- w
pose whatsoever until a pledge was cr
made to preserve for the city the ma- Cl
jority of the magnificent trees which w
grow upon the land. th
When the plans as made are realized,
the Nation's Capital will have
something seldom or never seen in _
fraternal buildings?a great temple a
adequately and completely surrounded
by broad lawns and wooded areas.
Some of the most magnificent buildings
in the world are in America, it
is pointed out, and among the most
beautiful are several with no foreground
or background, the wonderful
Pennsylvania Railroad station in NewYork
city, the Woolworth Building,
and the City Hall in Philadelphia being
cases in point.

WASHINGTON COMMENT.
j
That business should not profit at!
ie expense of the health of little {
lildren is a universal belief. That 1
lild labor is expensive to the nation, jj
1 offense against decency, undesired [ j
,* those who put the welfare of the ' j
ice and their country above imme-lj
ate monetary profit, is undenied. | \
But there are worse things than 1
lild labor; things which could wreck j
lese United States much quicker even j
lan the exploiting of many little j
lildren. ^
One of these is the overthrowing of
lose foundation stones upon which 1
lis nation is built; let there be no !
undation and the superstructure will |
umble. Let there be no nation, and |
lildren here will be as are the chil- j
ren of Russia?starved, helpless, i
?ad by thousands.
The supreme court of the United !
tates has just ruled that the 1919 I
lild labor law was unconstitutional, j
oubtless the explorers of children j
;joiced. But there are many who
ve children who have not criticized !
ie decision, just as there have been 1
iany who are heart and soul for I
rohibition who believe the eighteenth |
mendment and the Volstead Act (
ave done more harm than good. Adlittedly,
the 1919 child labor law 1
ould have stopped child labor. But
would also open the doors to the
>dcral government taking over all |
ghts not reserved to and by the |
;ates, a thing expressly forbidden |
i the fundamental law of our land.
Let us, by all means, do away with j
lild labor. But let us do it by I
moused public sentiment, by state leg- j
lation, by education, by willingness j
> follow Him who would have little
lildren suffered to come unto Him.
3t by tampering with the strength of
le country where children are most
ee, where children have most oppormity,
where children are best pro(cted.
Let us thank God for a supreme I
>urt which can think of the country |
? a whole, even before it thinks of
(ploited children.
"What is the matter with the !
lurch?" asked many devout church- I
oers, ministers, church authorities |
iid serious-minded laymen.
There are a thousand answers. One
f them is brought forcibly to mind
hen the proceedings of a gathering
! v. certain church are read and it is I
>un<l that emphasis is being placed |
pen the necessity for ministers
rictly to "maintain the moral law"
y reiusiug to muiiv une miu jiu.>
ien divorced for ahy ot'nor reason 1
lan infidelity.
That, brethren of the church, is one
" the things the matter with it; the
;fusal to recognize that the human
lind demands equity in its religion as
ell as its civic law.
Marriage, a sacrament in the church,
made with mutual promises to love,
? honor, to cherish, to be faihtful.
But," says the church, "if you break
ae of these you may be free of mar- !
age bonds, but if you keep that one [
id break all the rest, bound you must
?!" A man may beat his wife, get '
runk on home-made hooch and stay |
at all night, go to prison for felony, 1
? cruel to his children, bring disgrace '
pon his family. "Never mind all |
lat," says the church, "stay married." 1
ut a man may be all that is good 1
id kind and upright and honorable
id temperate in every other way; 1
he is once unfaithful, then, says the .
lurch divorce by all means! J
The innate sense of justice with 1
hich we are all born protects against ?
te idea that a helpless woman must J
ay bound to a brute who maltreats '
?r and his children, merely because <
is Janse do not run toward the "other '
oman." The law recognizes extreme
uelty, desertion, and felonies as just
luses for divorce in most states;
hen the church as a whole does also
lere will be less reason for it to ask,
What is the matter that men vener:e
me less each year?"
Boy Wanted
