COME ON, SOUTH CABOLINAi

Sometimes the Record Ia amazed that
South Carolina is as well off rs It Is. Its
people are so supine that they never
turn hand toward getting share OF
population, trade or anything valuable
which is Just now sweeping this way with
unusual momentum.
South Cardinals climate IS superior
TO that of Florida IN many respects.
The winters are only cold enough and
of sufficient length 10 insure the kill
ing off of pestiierous and harmful insects
and diseases. This IN turn assures the
farmer and the orchardist a return OF
their labor and the citizen continuation
of health.
If South Carolinas cultivated area
were brought up TO the fertility and
intensity Of cultivation it should be
il would support MANIFOLD the population
that it now supports.
If a campaign were made by South
Carolina on as sane a line as those made
annually " Florida, North Carolina,
and even Old Mississippi, it would re-
dound to the speeding up OF Columbia,
Charleston, Greenville and all of the minor
cities and towns of the commonwealth
so that they would no longer show up in

Policing the Sky.

Most Of US can remember when mount
ed police were first added to the force.
They were employed for the most part IN
ouelling riots and untangling congested
traffic
A little later came the motorcycle
police. whose principal duty was TO over
take and apprehend automobile speeders
and criminals intent on making quick
getaway.
But more up-to-date than either Is IA
aviator policeman, who mounts up with
wings as eagles" and pursues the fugitive
from justice along the highways Of the air
Joseph Gadsbury was an aviator during
the war. The other day, after fleeing 8
number of Iowa farmers out Of several
thousand dollars, he assembled in an air
pIsne and started full-speed-ahead for
Winnipeg.
Detectives from his hcme State followed
hot on his trail-Dot, however, IN his foot
steps Over the border, members OF the
Royel Canadian Mounted Police joined
IN the chase, Communicating an airplape
with q better speed record than Gads-
bury's and equipped with machine guns.
Then followed battle With propeller
damaged, fuselage riddled and gasoline
tank punetured. Gadsbury was forced &c

WHAT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES US

A fresh wind will set in from America
when Harding enters the White House,
. swindwhIch thereis good reason to believe
will have o cooling effect on some over
heated heads in Europe. But this should
not make us too optimistic. Their IS not
the slightest evidence that America Is
developing a spirit of frieDdllness toward
Germany. Her mo tives are economic and
consequently of purely egotistic nature.
But this should not make y too pessl-
mistic. From the very beginning OF the
war the world has suffered from an ex-
cess of emotionalism and it viii do It
good if the leadiDg ations get back on a
purely rational and calculating bass.
America cannot afford to be entirely dis
interested in Europe, as is proved by the
present depression. Consequently the
Inomentary political dialnterestedness of
America In European atiairs cannot be
permanent. For this reason, President
Harding, as leader of the party that re-
iected the Treaty OF Versailles because IL
threatens to involve America in the politi-
cal intrigues of Europe as leader OF the
powerful group that brought about the
separationn OF America from the great
world problems, will simply have to devise
a scheme by which his country can again
co-operate with Europe, MOTTO be sure as
Wilson wished, in accord with the tenets of
theology but on the basis Of cold, sober
policy Of rational politics and old-fashion-
ed trade.
1t makes. indeed, precious little diff
ference whether the sick world be cure
bv ldeaIism or business. The main thing
Is that IL be cured released from the hos
pital. and enabled to go about its work
as IN years not long ago.-Frankfurter

Sermon With a Point.

There are some points in the sermon de-
hyered on Sunday by Rev. Charles l..
Candee at Westminster Presbyterian
Church that should be painted in letters OF
fire and pIacarded along the highways,
where all who passed might read. HIS
declaration TO the effect that we are losing
sight of the Ten OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
inc Gods commands for the pursuit OF
money-is an accusation that cannot be
denied. THE people Of the present age or
dav have set their affections on the &C
QUESTION of wealth and not on righteous
ness. he declared. "and we have all been
too ready to point 10 the successful man as
the one who made the most money; but we
have not INQUIRED how much true char
acter he has developed in making that
money"
DIR. Candee declared the present genera
ton to be pleasure-mad. We make
pleasure to be the end in itself" he said.
II believe il ought merely TO be the means
TO an end You can. never get down to the
right basis for moral living unless you come
to this first commandment and assert the
authority of God in the lives Of all !"
Here is paragraph teeming with the
great truths that we cannot resist re-
printing it in full 1t may be read and
studied with profit by every on VINO r.
engnlfed in this maddening whirl Tor ma
terial riches: 1--WE must declare to be
right is infinitely better than to be rich;
that honest work is vastly more important
than the question Of high wages; that
purity of the home life is vastly more TO be
desired than luxurjously furnished houses;
that the cultivation cf true character IS
more important than the development OF
the body in play or sports. This Will only
he accomplished when we put God hrst' IL
will never be done when we make con-
science thing Of mere expediepcy or con-
venience. II must be when we make right
right and wrong wrong, when the Woriu
hears more clearly the eternal voice Oh

In any country or community so ap-
sorbed. in the accumulation OF money

faithful few who find their heav en- IN the

The managers Of the Frederick, Md.
Agricultural Fair report net profit OF
s1s,265 derived from their exhibition, held
held in October last, including an ap-
preparation Of s555.56 by the State. Its
largest items Of expense were the racing
premiums, which totalled s5,53i, and
81 ,377 more than was paid IN premiums for
all the farm exhibits and stock combined.
These figures raise a question as TO whether
the race track is not given too much en-
phasis in the fairs that are held ostensibly
for the instruction and edification Of the
farmer, but the big total Of earnings may
upset whatever notion the individual may
have as to the lure Of the trotting horse as
attractions for country people. However
that may be, il is pleasant 10 note that
country fairs where are shown the prod
ucts and stock Of The farm are coming
back in 70 their old tnnc popularity

THE PEpTINIIST

The peptimist is one who works
with most exceeding vim, and sets
example to the shirks who may
keep tab on him. So many men,
with dragging feet, go to their tasks
each day; with frowns they shuck
the cars of wheat and thrash the
bales OF hay With seewls they ply
the shining saw or WELD the useful
churn; they're only happy when
they draw the pay they think they
earn. And when there is a slump IN
trade, and workInen must be fired,
these delegates are first to fade
they've made the bosses tired.
The peptimist has taken pride m
labors safe and sane, whatever tool
he may have piled, q corkscrew or q
plane. He did not 20 with dragging
step when morning whistles blew;
In every motion there was pep, no
sulky fits he threw. And when a
slump in trade appears, and work
men are laid off, the boss announces,
through his tears, Me'll keep this
hustling toff. We cant afford 60
let him go, he's such q useful man;
we'll keep him, though 60 Tom
and Joe we must attach the can.
The peptimist IS IN demand wher-
ever commerce dwelIs: he makes
his progress through the land, and
wears his string Of bells.
