Spartanburg, Sept. 5.-Goorge
Mcmillan, a negro aged 70 years,
was shot and killed in his own
house at Pacolet Saturday night
by a negro named "Dump'
Scott. 1t seems that Scott went
to the home of Mcmillan in a
drunken condition and while the
latter was demonstrating with him
on account of his unruly conduct,
Scott seized gun from corner
of the roum, leveled 1T at the old
man and fired. The shot proved
fatal. Scott then escaped and has
been roaming at large ever since.

GRAFT IN SUB.DIsPENsARIEs.

After Miles had given the
bonding company a clear receipt,
he claimed shortage against
Howard of 1927 and extortcd
payment by threatening to boy
colt. Afterward Howard return
ed to Spartanburg. Though he
wac indicted, the case was not
pressed against him, after expos,
ure was threatened. Otherwise,
the commission spent today piling
up evidence of graft in sub-dls,
pensaries. This evidence involv-
ed Dispenser Manning, at Cheraw,
Dispenser Windham, at Sumter;
Dispenser Wilkes, at Darling
ton and Dispenser Davis, at Flor
ence.
In the case Of the Sumter dis
penser, whom this community is
proud Of for his reputation as be-
ing about the best and straightest
dispenser in the State, it was
shown that he could not put aside
the great and varied opportunities
his position offered for graft. 1t
was shown that his picking from
tho sale of boxes and. bottles
amounted to more.than his salary.
which he has been trying to get
raised through a whiskey drum

at first, refused, but the commls-

to compel him to testify to trans

There were no new features of
striking Importance developed to-
day. The evidence today was
along lines alrea ly tapped, the
object being to show that this sys-
tenn of bribing dispensers exists
generally throughout the State.
In many cases the empty boxes
were not taken out of the freight
office, though likely the bottles
were made use Of. All members
are present except Representative

SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Sumter, s. c., Sept. G.-To-
days two sessions of the Gispeu-

were productive of evidence tend,
ing to show that l.. j. Williams,
recently defeated for Congress,
used his influence while chairman
OF the State board, to get county
dispensers to get their friends to
the polls in the interest of the
gubernatorisl candidacy of ex-
Congressman j. w. Talbert, now
chief political gladiator against
the dispensary, and threatening
to run for Governor on the proli-
bitlon platform.

RE YOURSELF.

One should not repudiate him
self. There is no surer method
of discomfort and no shorter road
to failure. TO speak in natural
tones and to act without al
lection; to dress in such way
as not to invite comment, 10 act
without being hampered with ar.
tificial rules; and to live un
daunted by conventiOnalism is not
to live in vain. 1t is to escape
much that spells life.
Sincerity is genuine comfort
as well as great virtue. The
people who are unaffected and
genuine are not the people TO ask,
els life worth livingg" 1t would
be- as sane for man with sound
lungs, standing in the free open
air of a mountain summit, to ask.
lis air worth breathing2n
Some courage is needed to be
natural aud a higher kind ofcour-
age, too, than that which marches
behind the safe end of gun.
That moral courage which is not
intimidated by appearance nor
cowed by custom is finer article
than the daring of the Spectator,
or the steady nerve of the soldier
in physical peril. 1t takes BRAY
cry of the best stamp to be true
to oneself.
Ridicule belittles the enter
prise; eXpediency throws doubt
upon it; circumstances embarass
and make difficult the adventure
of being natural. But he who in
the face of it all, manages to keep
loyal to the inner voice, to keep
faith with himself aud to main
tain self-respect has won the bat
tie in a crucial battle.
Thus while it is true that one
who keeps his self-respect has
the worlds, it is also true that he
must decredit the worlds to main
tain his own. The public may
chatter about what a MAJ has.
but it asks, before it quits
talking, what he is, and rates
him accordingly.

at educating nurslings and guild
ing childhood, tue continue to
treat their children the same at all
ages; they steal away their power
of initiative, stitie their aspira-
tions. and by the very act of
clingiDg to a passing authority,
let perish a confidence which
might have been constant. Nor
is it enough to be resigned to see
ing the will and personal force of
our children establish themselves,
we should welcome with JOY all
the signs of budding character,
and, so far as it can possibly be
wise, give free play to the spirit
of independence and enterprise.
Do not hinder the mans being
formed in the child. To the some
what feminine education of ten
derness aud solicitude, of vigi-
lance perhaps over anxious and
restrictive of liberty, let the yirile
educator succeed, that education
which is to forge and temper the
forces of children, cultivates
their resistance and their com
bativeness and does not finch in
the face of their fatigues, their
trials, their difficulties, even their
danger.
1t is at this price that men of
mark are fashioned, one of whom
is worth a thousand lives of rou-
tine, mummitied and sheep like.
And to mould such character
with its,stamp of originality-the
sort of man whose need is felt on
all sides-nothing else equals
family life, especially when it is
simple and laboriOus. Here are
the normal conditions, the favor

allowed to interfere with the
rights and happiness of another.
There must be no drOnes in the
home if it is to be a perfectly
happy place and there must be
no inordinate selfishness. An
idle person and selfish person
will disturb the peace of the whole
family. While there must be
loyalty and unity, there must
also be great freedom for the ex-
preston of personal tastes and
respect for individual activity.
The life of the world is siren

NO GLOOM AT HOME.

A bove all things there should
be no gloom in the home The
shadows of dark discomfort and
fretfulness should never cross the
threshold, throwing their large,
black shapes, like funeral
pals, over the happy young spir-
its gathered there. If you will,
you shall sit on a throne and be
the presiding household deity.
o! faithful wife, what privileges,
what treasures greater and purer
than thine.
And let the husband strive to
forget his cares as lie winds
around the long, narrow street,
and behold the soft light illumi
mating his little parlor, spreading
its precious beams on the red
pavement before it. He has
been harassed, perplexed and
prosecuted He has borne with
cruel tone, many a cold word,
and nerved himself up to an
energy so desperate, that his
frame and spirits are weakened
and depressed. And now his
limbs ache with WEAKNESS; his
temples thrOb with pain heat
caused by too constant applica-
ton. He scarcely knows how to
meet his wife with a pleasant
smile, or sit down cheerfully to
their little meal, which she has
provided with so much care.
But the door is opened-the
overcOat thrown hastily off. A
sweet singing voice falls upon his
ear, and the tones are so soft and
glad that Hope, like a winged
angel flies right into his bosom
and nestles against his heart.
A home where gloom is ban.

has learned to rule her household.
Oh! he is thrice consoled for all

MARYLAND'S BIG CORN
CROP.
Great Yield Attributed Largely
to the Corn Specials"

Traffic officials OF the Mary
land and Pennsylvania and of
the Western Maryland Railroad
Companies report an almost phe-
nomenal yield of corn.
In the case of the Western
Maryland the reported increase
over last year is fully 40 per cent. /,
while the Maryland and Penn
sylvania officials conservatively
estimate a yield at least 80 per
cent. greater. The average yield
of corn in Maryland is about six
barrels to the acre, so that it can
readily be understood how mar
velous must be the growth in the
upper counties this year to cause
the great increase reported.
The corn is grown for canning
purposes and for stock feeding
and shipment. The first Is sugar
corn and the last named is desig
mated as "ield corn" The can
ners in Baltimore, Hartford and
Carroll counties have been at
their wits end to obtain cans in
which to pack the heavy growth
offered them. 1t is reported that
several Gamers in HART or q
County have already packed be
tween 50, 600 and 100000 tons of
sugar corn each, and the supply
as yet is by no means exhausted.
Those in Carroll County have
done equally as well or better. SO
that the industry in this line has
been at high tide and the farmers
have made money.
1t is somewhat difficult to tell
the price of this years crop OF
ear corn, but ear corn brought
1920 in the Baltimore market
on Monday last, by the car load,
This was the old crop. Shelled
corn for January delivery was
worth 5O4 cents a bushel. The
growing crop should be ready fol
delivery by this time if condi
lions are favorable though by the
time it reaches market this price
may fuctuate considerably.
The causes for the enormous
yield in the upper counties are
various. Mr.. John S. Bull, OF
the Maryland and Pennsylvania,
thinks the "corn specials" which
took in that section before the
planting season were a most i'm
pOrtant factor. There has been
little or no incre sse in the acre
age planted, said Mr.. Bull, but
the greater attention the crop re
ceived and the favorable weather
conditions during the growing
season have added to the greater
production. The "cOrn specials
were encouraged by Mr.. Q. Bos
ley Littig, who, besides being
member of the Chamber of Com
merce, and a large handler Of
grain, is prosperous farmer OF
Hartford County.
