GRATITUDE TO HAITI.
American opinion of the Haitians
ikas been pretty rough lately, as a
result of the disorder in their is
which American marines have
to suppress and of the appar
waranted charges the fca
have brought against the
ricans. It is well, as the

EAT W YOU MEAN, NOR
MAL?
"Not hard times coming,
Just soft times going."
phrase has been used most
tively for some months past
a big national advertiser, and
fits. It would be hard to find
ther eight-word combination
h serves better to describe the
;trial, commercial and iinan
phenomeiia which the nation j
been witnessing,
e may be loath to admit it,
[hnt the United States has had a
[.rather easy t'.me of it in the past
Jxaif dozen years. Of course, there
hfive been sacrifices and tremen
dous ones, sacrifices which can
vnpt but command a world's respect.
jBat for the most part, Americans
^worked no harder than they had j
-worked in the decade before, and
they were very much better paid
vfor it. Few. however, will argue
mt we gained by it perma
ihen?y, either as workmen or as a
Ration.
I Things have changed. Compar
atively few incomes show much of
"a. net gain beyond hte normal that ,
comes with increasing years and
skill. Work is not so plentiful as
it might be in many sections, and
the stimulus of the need for work
is resulting, as always, in better
work all around: The attitude of
the nation is more sober than it
was?and no prohibition joke is in
tended; either.
Many people are asking, on every
occasion, "when times will be nor
mal again." Their plaintive quer
ies deserve but one- reply. "What
do you mean, normal?"
If normal conditions- mean such
conditions as obtained in this coun
try from 1915 to 1920, there should
be a day of national fasting and
prayer that they will never re
turn.
Conditions are really nearer
normal now, for under normal con
ditions men must work honestly
and well for what they get and do
their own saving for their own fu
tures. It is as it should be.
No man who is worth a conti
nental ever expects to get quite all
that he is worth. If he gets any
thing like it, and he is wise, he
knows he has- one foot on the to2
boggan.
"Soft times are going,"?have
gone, in fact. Why not admit it,
and stop regretting it?
VICTORY FOR MINIMUM WAGE
Another victory for the mini
mum wage has been achieved in
Washington^ D. C. The District
Minimum Wage Board had fixed
the rates for women over 18 years
of age employed in cafes, clubs
and hospitals- at $16.50 a week.
The Children's Hospital challeng
ed the law on the ground that Con
gress had no authority to pass a
law interfering, with the freedom
of contract. The hospital assert- ,
ed that the- $16.50 rate amounted ;
to confiscation of property with- i
out due process of law and that it j
bred socialism.
The court of appeals held that |
"there is no absolute freedom to do j
as one wills," and that the Four a
teenth Amendment "protects
against arbitrary privation or
spoliation but does not provide j
immunity from reasonable regula- j
tions for proper purposes." It rul- j
ed that the hospital should show
proof that the minimum wage law
was harmful. When this was not
done the court dismissed the claim
as unfounded, stating that the ef-1
feet of the law was the opposite of
Harmful, and that ''Congress has
the right to enact laws for the pro
motion of health, safety7, morals
and welfare of those subject to its
jurisdiction."
The^ United States Supreme
Court had previously upheld the
validity of Oregon's minimum
wage act. In connection with this
recent decision it is wcrth while to
recall that employers in many dif
ferent lines?manufacturers, de- ?
partment store heads, etc.,?have
issued public statements to the ef
fect that the minimum wage re
acted to fhe benefit of employer
as well as employee.

New York, clothing salesman;;
whose vocation qualifies him to\
know exactly what women wear,
says that talk about women keep
ing cool in hot weather through
sheer willpower is nonsense?that
their comfortable aspect, compar
ed with men's, due not to psychol
ogy but to clothes.
"What they're thinking," says
this realist, "makes no difference. J
It's what they put on, or rather j
what they leave- off, that makes j
'em cool.
"Put one of these hign, stiff
men's collars on the most frapped
woman in America, and she'd lose I
her July morale in 30 seconds, and
she wouldn't recover till you'd u:i- j
covered her neck and chest. j
"Then there's the matter of t
arms. When women wear sleeves j
at all, they're Httle dabs of lace
around their shoulders. We wrap
our arms up-, and finish with a
nice, stiff band round the button j
where our wrist arteries will be j
swaddled and the blood warmed I
as it flows through.
"As for legs and ankles, one j
filmly layer of silk foir them and j
a close-fitting length of something j
at least partly woolen for us."
The woman's costume, he says, j
weighs only a few ounces. The !
man's weighs several pounds. !
Wherefore his Lonclusion that I
"perhaps women show more judg- j
merit than men do."
They certainly do, this time of j
the year, whatever the truth may j
be in cold weather. And it is the
same old fact that fair-minded men
have been forced to admit for j
many years. The only difference
is that this summer the women are
even more sensible than usual, i
compared with the men.
New York City has 9*00,000
more people than the entire state

SUMTER REAL j
ESTATE BOARD!
Real estate brokers and others
interested in the buying and sell- j
ing of real escat- have organized !
the Sumter Real Estare Board for |
the purpose of doing co-operative j
advertising, not only in this im- i
mediate section, but throughout t
the United States and to co-oper- |
ate with each oth<?r in various oth- I
er ways. I
The officers elected were: R. I
B. Belser. President; D. R. Mc
Callum and J. J. Riley. vice pres
idents and R. A. Bradham. secre- |
tary and treasurer.
The Sumter Real Estate Board
will affiliate with the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards
mid tlirough this and various oth
er agencies hope to advertise the
city and county of Sumter exten
sively and intensively throughout i
the "United States wfcli a view of
drawing new industries and farm- |
ers in to this section.
It was decided at this meeting j
to invite the real estate brokers
and others throughout "the state j
interested in the buying and sell- j
ing of real estate to hold a meet
ing in Sumter on Tuesday, August
16th for the purpose of organizing
the South Carolina Real Estate
Association.. ' .i

The case of the State vs. C. C.
Cooper for the murder of A. B.
Knowles the jury returned a ver
dict of not guilty after they had
been out only a very few minutes.
The case required the whole morn
ing and was finished- about five
o'clock in the afternoon.
A report is current Iii railroad
circles that an attempt was made
Thursday night to wreck train
No. 5S?the train leaving Sumter
for Augusta at 9:30?just this
side of the Savannah river, right
near where they attempted" to
wreck it several weeks ago. Some
one had piled a lot of bridge
timber on the trjek. The engineer
saw the obstacle in time to stop.
When they got to Augusta they
notified crew of 57, which comes
I back an hour later. When this
train reached the spot the timbers
I had been replaced on the track.
The reporter, passing along the j
street the other day. heard a j
fragment of a conversation and
thereby learned an interesting fact j
Said one Sumter booster to an
other, in accents surcharged with
local pride, "Yes, sir, you can take *
it from me. Sumter county is now I
making just as good corn likker !
as North Carolina ever did turn
out." Perhaps so. It certainly has
according to reports, just as many
tights to the pint as any white
lightning ever distilled anywhere.
When rents get rn line with |
current wage ami salary scales i
there will be a greater demand j
for houses. A large number ofJ
traveling men who work the east-;
ern part of the state would rath-j
er make Sumter their headquar
ters than any other town, provid
ed they can rent desirable houses
at a reasonable price. The good
> streets, the schools, light and gas
j service, and other advantges are
j attractive induooments to men
: who are seeking a place to live.
