She recently visited 5 the ex-Emperor at his place of exile ' in Holland. He stopped cutting down trees long enough to get engaged to 1 the charming lady who is said to be 34 years old. She is the Princess Hermine the widow of Prince Jean ' of Schenaich of Caralath, wherever that may be. THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS And now the humble com cob if treated in a certain method with chemicals will produce cellulose, a useful and important article of commerce. Science can produce of the corn cob an element hard as ivory that can be used in the manufacture of piano keys, billiard balls, umbrella handles, knife handles and other simi lar objects. Zachariah, of old, said, "Who hath despised the day of small things?" CATHOLIC PRIESTS MARRYING That the world do move is shown in that fact that French Catholic priests are marrying just like other people. The Pope at Rome has not up to this writing made any protest against this new movement of the "holy church" eccelesiastics. THE ASSASSINATION OF MICHAEL COLLINS In a recent issue of this paper editorial mention was made of the latest tragedy in Ireland, the assassination of Michael Collins. A statement of the Irish Provisional government has been published which speaks eloquently of the great loss sustained by the Irish Republic. The statement reads: "The greatest and bravest of our countrymen has been snatched from us at a moment when victory smiled through the clouds upon the rising up of the nation to which he dedicated all the powers of his magnificent manhood. The personality of Michael Collins was vivid and impelling. He cannot die. He will live in the rule of the people." Killed by his own people while serving them, trying to bring order out of chaos, the fate of Michael Col. lins is made all the sadder by the fact that he was soon to marry a young patriotic Irish lass, who like the sweetheart of Robert Emmet, that other Irish martyr, was left to mourn the loss of her lover. HOW ABOUT IT, ALBERT? When the twenty-first baby appeared at the home of Albert Johnson, of Savannah, Georgia, the proud father said he had named twenty but ' would have to take time to study up a new name. He has 18 living children. Why not call this one Omego? It is said that Santa Claus is going to join the profiteers and that prices of Christmas toys will be at the top notch. If old Santa does not want to be hanged to his own Christmas tree he had better be reasonable. An exchange remarks that when Columbus first sighted dry land he did not have anv idea how drv it wouid become. It is said that whenever Lloyd George has a generous and benevolent moment he forgives Germany ^ part of the debt she owes France. ~DO"iT"NOW The head of a large business' house < brought a number of "Do It Now" > signs and hung them up around his i office. They were effective beyond expectation and yet it can scarcely be said that they worked well. When after the first few days the business man counted up the results, he found that the cashier had bolted with $35,000, the head kookkeeper had eloped with the stenographer and three clerks had asked for a raise in alary. CONSTITUTION DAY September 17 is Constitution Day, the 135th anniversary of the adoption of that great document which established the principles under which this country is governed. Schools and political and civic organizations probably will take passing note of the day, but it should be observed more generally and emphatically. / Some hundred years after the Con- p stitution was adopted, the great Eng- C lish statesman, William Glad- k stone, said of it that it was, so far 4 as he could see, "the most wonderful E work struck off in a given time by K the brain and purpose of man." Bj These are times of disregard for E law and order. There could be no K better corrective than for every citi- D xen of the United States to observe E this anniversary by familiarizing g more fully with the Constitution. E Those who do so will be freshly im- K pressed by the amazing way in which ? it has met the needs of a govern- E ment established under it but grown K to a power and developed along lines |> which the framers of the document E could not foresee. (A The Constitution is short, even E follows: 11; Checks and cash items to I the State Treasury . . $27,941.2l' Items earned and due but 1 uncollected 17,753.19 Items earned but not due . 72,000.00 t Total from July 1, 1921 to July 1, 1922 117,694.40 Appropriations by Legis- J lature for all purposes 50,720.00 Leaving a balance to the credit of t the department of $66,874.40. I will greatly appreciate it if you will carry this letter in your next is- 1 sue, in order that the people of my County may be informed concerning 1 this absolutely erroneous and misleading information which has been attempted to be given to the public by those who by a charitable construction of the same are at least < misinformed. Thanking you in advance for this consideration, I am Yours very truly, J J. Clifton Rivers, State Warehouse Commissioner. 1 Fear* Getting Hit Bathing Suit Wet New York, Sept. 6.?Wrapped * only "in surging thought," Salvatore Coiucci, a tailor, took a dip in the J * briny alongside the Municipal Baths | at Coney Island. * He emerged at dusk, but Mrs. Anna Becker viewed the surprisng spec- 1 tacle and called a cop. Colucci was going through a series of calisthenics on the beach when accosted by the I officer. "I didn't want to get my bathing ' suit wet and carry it back to New York," explained Colucci, who said J he had roled up the bathing garment . and left on the beach while taking his swim. Live Peaceful If You Would Live Lcng Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6.?If you would live long, live peacefully. This is the recipe for longevity, according to David C. Barnard, 102 years old, who has been visiting here. "Get religion and it'll make you so happy you'll just liye easy,' the centenarian explained. / Another contributing factor toward a long life, Barnard declared, is consistent exercise. Barnard, a civil war veteran, lives with one of his nine children at Jericho Springs, Mo. SEED WANTED?Best prices for J'our cotton seed in wagon or car ots. See me for fall fertilizer prices. A.

RIVERS CORRECTS RUMORS F The Chesterfield Advertiser, Chesterfield, S. C., C Gentlemen, I understand that some erroneous li statements have been circulated in Chestei'field County concerning the e State Warehouse System, in which the impression was tried to be con- A veyed to the people that Warehouse System was costing the people of the State $50,000.00 per year. I wish to 1) say that the statement is entirely untrue and that the Department is one of the revenue producing agencies 1j of the State.
