All Records Are Smashed
In Cantaloupe Output

opened, 9 cars have already been
shipped and the prospects are exceed
ingly good that last years record of
43 cars will be broken as badly as the
other products have shattered former
performances.
The cantaloupe crop was, of course,
the largest in the valley.
The season is So days old today,
making the average daily shipment,
from the very start of the season, 80
cars.
According to statement issued by
the Pacific Fruit Express Company,
last night, they used over 10000 tons
of ice in preparing the cantaloupc
cars for the first lap of their journey
to the markets.
Another achievement of this year
was the breaking of all previous rec
ords for one days shipments, when
ON the day following the earthquake
237 cars of Valley cantaloupes were
shipped. On that day five trainloads
left the local yards.

The supervisors have had present

himself

CROWN THE ROADS.

The Charlotte Observer says that
circus day in that city brought to.
gether the greatest aggregation of
automobiles ever seen there and pos
sibly the greatest ever known i'm the
Old North State. The Observer fur
ther adds that sit was an easy matter
to spot the machines from South
Carolina by the mud on the wheels
and the splashed up bodies, thereby
carrying the bad advertisement of
bad roads"
Such is a fact and we cannot get
away from it until we put our roads
in good condition, and in this conmec-
tion we have a suggestion to make to
the supervisor of the public roads
and that is to suspend operations for
awhile in permanent roau work and
the roads in the county in fairly good
condition for the winter-that is by
crowning them and ditching them on
either side. In conversation with one
VI lIl' must ltNNi-IltoNl'N men III INC
county recently, he said this was one
thing that was being neglected. To
our mind very few of the county
roads are properly crowned and it
would take comparatively little time
and cost little to reshape the roads
so that when the winter rains begin
to pour down the water would drain
into the bitches on either side instead
Of settling in the center of the road
to be churned by horses and vehicles
into loblolly, rendering them almost
impossible. We urge upon the coun-
ty officials to begin, while it is tirac,
to reshape all of the public through
fares of the county in order that they
may be passaole during the coming
winter.

3..2,2,,9,, Observation-Disclosures
WHERE WILL 1T END?

About the best criticism of the
conditions in Charleston, which
brought about the deplorabie tragedy
recently in that city, was made by
Rabbi Loeb at the funeral of Sidney
Cohen, the young reporter who was
killed. Said he:
THE whole community is account
able. Let then our citizenship be
awakened to sense of civic duty
and Righteousness. Let evil passions
be curbed and bitter feelings of ami
mostly give way to united effort for
progress and peaceful endeavor. Let
there be a reconciliation among the
factions. Let the martyrdom of that
innocent soul in our midst be means
of atonement and publication for the
entire community"
Which leads The Greenville Pied
mont TO add:
MANY a man will say Amen, to
those sentiments and yet not apply
them to himself. In sense, is not
every community responsible for the
evil it permits in its midst and the
crime that arises therefrom? Is not
the man in Greenville, for instance,
who has never gone into the Ape Yard
and who would not go into a place
with such a reputation, responsible
for its continued existence and for
tie homicide that recently occurred
there? We should occasionally
search ourselves with such questions
and attempt to be frankly honest in
our answers
THE very term civic righteous
ness implies a necessity for more
than personal recitude and good con-
duct. Is a man righteous in a civic
way whose whole active influence and
support is not given to men and meas
ures giving promise Of better condi-
tions in the community as whole?"
We wish to emphasize the matter
OF community responsibility for the
evils that exist therein. AS The
Piedmont asks, I'm a sense, is not
every community responsible for the
evil it permits in it's midst and the
crime that arises therefrom?" There
should be a real searching of hearts
all over South Carolina in this mat
ter. Who can deny that crime is on
the increase? Right here in Lancas-
ter county we have it. At the last
term Of the court eight or nine homi-
eide cases were tried, not to say any
thing of the many cases of assault
with deadly weapons. And since the
adjournment Of court blood has still
flowed freely. Men and brethren. it
is truly time for serious thought
on the part of our people. If such
reign of lawlessness is to go on
unchecked, where will it all end?
