THAT GRAY COURT RRIDGE.

In its last issue The Advertiser pub
lished a letter, signed Traveller, crit
icising the supervisor and the county
commissioners for allowing a certain
bridge near Gray Court to go un-re-
paired. The Advertiser felt at the
time that the criticism was rather un-
fair, coming as 1t did after the recent
flood period and severe winter, but as
1t Is the duty of the newspaper to
print with impartiality the complaints
OF the public it was published. How
ever, in justice to Mr.. Humbert and
the county commissioners, The Adver-
tfser wishes to remind Traveller" and
others. although it feels 1t almost un-
necessary, of the fact that the county
suffered serious losses in the floods of
February and also that the winter was
an unusually hard one upon the roads.
That the supervisor has done the best
that could be done under the circum-
stances, is we believe the Judgment Of
nearly the entire county He has en-
deavored, and has partially succeeded.
against many difficulties, in keeping
the roads passable and the important
bridges open. This particular bridge,
not being one of the more important
ones, was left, we are advised, until
more important ones were fixed With
these things taken into consideration,
we believe that the larger body of
citizens of the county will agree with
us that the supervisor and his COM
missioners have been unjustly criti-
cised. Their works speak for them.

BEWARE OF FAKIRs.

BEWARE OF FAKIRS.
The attention Of The Advertiser has
been called more than once to the fact
that on many different occasions .peo-
pie of this city and county have been
"humbugged" out of hard-earned
money by fake insurance companies
and building and loan associations.
Fortunately this state has been wise
enough within the past few years to
provide for depar tment in its govern
ment to keep watch over these con-
Germs and see to 1t that they do not
operate in the state. The department
has been doing good work, as can he
attested to by enquiry at the office. Be
fore this department was inaugurated
a great many fake schemes were per-
petrated upon the people, Since the
inauguration of the department, these
fakirs have in large measure been put
out OF business, but it is all but i'm
possible to get rid of them entirely
within a short period. While it is pos
sible that some of them are still oper-
ating, 1t is matter of fact that many
people are still making payments to
some OF these concerns that have been
stopped from getting new business.
These fake money making schemers
flourish upon their knowledge of hu-
man nature. They know that a man
that has scraped around or is scraping
around to make money is the one most
likely to risk his money in some busi-
ness promising big returns. The fakirs.
with ambiguously worded contracts.
entrap their victims and in a short
time the poor working man wakes up
to find that he has Seen skinned.
What is the best way of avoiding
there fakirs and OF seeking safe in
vestments? The best and only wav is
to deal with those men of whom YOU
have a personal knowledge. the men
OF the home concerns, men You have
confidence in. They are in Your midst
70 look after your interests and after
their own. Knowing them and the
reputation which they have and must
guard, you can feel safe in dealing with
then. In addition TO ensuring the
safety of your own funds. you will be
aiding directly concern which will
De able. by your own patronage, TO re-
turn the favor at some future time
Deal always with those YOU know and
who deal with you. Patronize home
industries, keep your money at home
and then YOU need not fear being
9uncoed 'ut of hard-earned money.

MIR. DIAL's ADDRESS,


The address of Hon n B. Dial to
the voters appears in another part of
this paper. A reading of this address
leads one to the inevitable conclusion
that Mr.. Dial does not inted conduct
ing his campaign in the usual manner.
viz, by hurrahing about whole pack
of things that in the end amount to
nothing. Mr.. Dial is making his cam
paign on platform of increased pros
peritI for the south. He believes that
by going to Washington and getting
in touch with people of other portions
of the United States, he can bring them
TO the realization that the south is
worthy of first notice when invest
ments are contemplated He believes
in advertising the south's resources
and he wants to go to the United
Safes senate to do that advertising. 1t
is taken for granted that democrats
are against the tariff for protection.
against government extravigance.
against undeserved pensions, against
Capitalization of the money power.
against graft and privileges in any
shape or form and against everything
not conducive to good government. All
of the candidates for the senate hold
the same views along there lines, Col.
Talbert going little further and be-
iieving in federal pensions for Confed-
crate soldiers, but Mr.. Dial takes all
of these things for granted and while
he promises to do everything in his
power TO uphold democratic principles.
he wants to do something else: he
wants TO so place the resources of
South Carolina before the people of
the north that they will turn their
eyes in this direction and allow capital
to come this way. He wants to do
something of tangible and solid benefit
for the state

An ordinance ought TO be passed in
Clinton declaring it a misdemeanor
to call the Presbyterian College "P.

the dignity of the college. If the name
of the college is too long to pronounce
a shorter name should be sought.

Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory Of penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation Of the state to crime, is
the contention Of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar. writing in the May
number Of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine, illustrating the abb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: 1.-THE average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years. in
Maine one year; for larceny. in LEILA
ware ten years. in the District Of Co.
lumbia ten months; the penalty for an
son in Pennsylvania Is twice that Of
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
Of burglary is twice that of arson; the
guilt of counterfeiting in Chic Is twice
that Of perjury. but in Rhode Island
the guilt Of perjury is twice that Of
counterfeiting.

A certain group of youngsters in an
exclusive West side residential section
had been very noisy throughout the
forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate bedlam, when q
very angry old man appeared at the
door of nearby apartment house. He
was quite old, and 1t was evident that
his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out q
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
fa"Don't you know It's against the
law to make SO much noise?"
= "Yes, SIR" was the meek reply.
''Well, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in Jail, and then
you can never be president Of the
United States?"

enough start for such venture. For
his father was only petty Tartar
chief. ruling mere handful Of fami-
lies. But the boy had boundless am
bition, was a natural ruler Of men,
was held back by no qualms of con-
science-for he seems to have been
quite conscienceless-and had nat
ural cruelty Of nature that overrode
all obstacles. These customs and the
leadership of his own little tribe were
the sole backing he had for his mighty
enterprise.
The lad was known as Temudjin
("the WiseD. He was thirteen when
his father died. He found himself at
the head Of a rebellious clan that
wanted to depose him for an older.
wiser chief. Temudjin thrashed his
foes, then thrashed and annexed
neighboring tribes. He soon was rul-
er ola strong federation. A still
stronger collection of tribes opposed
him. He made friends with the Great
Khan Of the Keraite Tartars. by
whose aid he beat his own enemies.
He then married the Great Khan's
daughter.
Trouble soon sprang up between
Temudjin and his father-in-law. The
young man defeated and slew the
Great Khan. who had been his bene-
factor, and then made himself master
of the whole region. His next step
was to hunt up Shaman (propbet
of wisdom). who, by working on the
Tartars' superstitions. made them re-
gard Temudjin as sort of god. The
Shaman also propheeied that Temud-
jim would conquer the entire world.
/ The Tartar chief now abandoned his
early name Of Temudjin and took the
title "Genghis Khan" (meaning
Greatest Chief"). He made code
of wise laws for his followers and
changed their race name to "Mongol''
("Brave"). Then he set out on his
task Of world conquest. IL
First annexing all Tartary, he
marched on China, crossed the Chi.
ness Wall and advanced into the heart
Of the country. It was during this ex
petition that he nrst let loose to the
full his love Of barbarous cruelty and

put to death-men and women alike
with unspeakable tortures.
On second campaign in China Cen
ghis Kahn in 1915 captured Peking
and burned 1t to the ground after
stealing everything that could be car
ried away. Thence he invaded Persia.
The city Of Bokhara was known as
the center Of science" It held won
drous inventions and the Orient's rar.
est treasures Of art and literature.
Genghis Khan cared no more for such
things or for the worlds real prog
ress than a mad dog cares for the
rose hedge he breaks through. Box
hara, with its wondrous objects of art
and learning, was destroyed. The en-
tire country was devastated, and with
the fall Of Its cities their priceless
treasures Of Oriental science went up
IN smoke. Millions Of people were
slain or carried into slavery.
Iran, Astrakhan and Southern Rus
sia next fell prey to the merciless
Khan. Practically all of China was
enslaved. So were Corea and the
countries northwest OF India.
The Turks were driven out Of their
Asian fastnesses and chased across in.
to Europe. Qt was then that tho
Turks first settled in Eastern Europe,
where later they were to wreak havoc
on Christian nations.)
Wider and wider spread the con-
quests Of Genghis Khan At the cap
ture Of Herat alone he is said to have
massacred 100000 people. No NOR
tai power could check his advance.
The prophecy seemed about to come
true. The more SO when he won the
mighty kingdom of Tangut by annihi-
lating an army 10000 strong in a fierce
battle waged on the ice Of a frozen
lake.
Genghis Khan was now master of
all the territory from the China Sea to
the River Dnieper. He set forth on
fresh tour Of slaughter In the sum-
mer of 1927. But astronomers told
him that the stars at that time .spelt
disaster for him. So the superstitious
Khan turned back in haste, to wait
until the planets should promise him
better luck. On the way homeward
he fell i'll and died.
Even in death his cruelties did not
