with his shot gun with the view of
killing hawks, After he had shot a
time or two he star ted on his return,

was discharged, the whole load pass

his instep and the root of his toes
making very ugly wound The boy
managed to get home and Drs. Han
cock and Atkinson were called. They
found the wound bleeding profusely,
but after the arteries were tied the boy
rested very we'll, though the wound is
exceedingly ugly, and the foot badly
swollen. 1t will depend largely upon
the condition Of his blood as whether
an amputation will be necessary.

When Horace Greeley said Go
West Young Man, he little dreamed
that the pioneers in the second largest
industry in the United States world
track into the far East and the South
to gather materials for some 10000
600 small car tires that today are car
rying the various makes of light cars
over every road that men travel in
pursuit of business and pleasure.
"Yet it is fact" declares Buchanan
Lyon Company of the local Goodyear
Service Station, THAT the Pneumatic
tire was made possible by men who
went east for rubber and south for cot
ton fabric The ingenuity Of man has
since wrought wonders in the culti-
vation of these two essentials in tire

When a young man concludes in his
own mind to make a dust in the world
and keeps everlastingly busy, he soon
attracts the attention of the active
business men of the community, and
he is spoken Of as a young man Of
worth, one who intends to be known
in the business affairs of the town and
county in which he lives.
Such is the start made by John d.
Lowe, Jr, of this place. After he
graduated from the County High
School, he went to Lexington, finish
ed his education and returned home
and Immediately commenced farming,
his chosen profession, working aHd
managing his fathers farm, adjoin-
ing the town residence. He was a
success, and in two years he concluded
that there was not land enough in the
home tract, and he bought the Scott
Montgomery plantation, over one hun
dred acres, not far from his lone
He is busy every day in the week
growing corn, tobacco, etc, etc., and
also handling some stock. As a result
Of his energy and determination he
keeps bank account, at all times
having something to sell from his in
dustry.
Such course meets the commenda-
tiOn of all men who are trying to
make the community better place
in which to live.

the churches in Edgefeld, and yet
some of these men and women are
willing in their selfshness to let
others bear the burden of supporting
the churches. They are satisfied to
have very small part in supporting
the churches. Such men and women,
wherever you find them, belong to
the moral parasite class. Edgefeld's
churches, more than anything else,
make Edgefeld fit place to live in
and to rear families in, and every
father and every mother should have
part in supporting the churches in
proportion to their financial ability.
In so far as they fail to measure up
to- this obligation they become moral
parasites.

Moral Parasites.

There are some people in Edgefeld
who would be mortally offended if
told they were parasites, and yet
that is just what they are. We are re-
Perring now to moral parasites.
Edgefeld of today is not the same
Edgefeld of several decades ago. The
moral tone and the atmosphere of
our community have been changed,
and this improvement of moral con-
ditions did not come without an ex-
penditure of time, effort and money
on the part of a goodly number of
our people. There are some who are
sharing the benefits of this moral
transformation without giving any,
thing in return, absorbing everything
and giving out nothing. They are
thus proving themselves to be moral
parasites, living upon the sacrifices
and fruits of the labors of other peo-
pie.
There are parents who are rearing
families in Edgefeld whose children
are being made better men and wo-
men by reason of the influence of

Edgefeld people are learning an
old lesson again to the effect that it
is mighty easy to vote bonds but
mighty hard to meet the interest

of lighter burden for possibly a
generation. We have heard it said
