CHILDREN OF THlRY-FIVE
STATES ENTER
PRIZE CONTEST
National Security Leagues COmpcti.
ton for Grammar School Pupils on
DramatizatiOn of Constitutional
Guarantees Closes May /.

New York. - Endorsed by state and
city schol superintendent, the Con-
sitution contest being conducted by
the National Security League is being
participated In by pupils in the public
schools of So states and the parochial
schools of Il states.
The Security Leagues plan appeals
to educators because it is based on
the best school room practice and the
most progressive ideas in methods of
teaching government.
Children are taking time by the
forelock and submitting their dramat-
izations early The first little play
submitted in the contest came from a
girl IN Little Rock, Wash. Other plays
are already in from Iowa, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. New Orleans
and 'Spauling, Nebr., are running a
race for second place in the number
entering the contest, in which Jersey
City leads. Children in rural as well
as city school have entered, and the
leagues plan gives al an equal chance
of success.
|
school systems have become inter
ested through the teachers; in ored
cases where, due to local conditions,
the entire class could not take part,
individual children have shown char
acteristic American initiative by send
ing their own &c stamps for the Secu-
rity Leagues "Catechism of the Con-
stitution" and entering the contest
themselves.
Children in parochial schools have
entered the contest in Kentucky, Iowa,
PENNSYLVANIA. Missouri, Colorado,
California, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois,
New York, Arkansas and Wisconsin.
This new method of teaching the
truth of history through dramatiza-
ton has captured the interest of the
children everywhere. and bids fair to
be huge success.
The Security League offers prizes
for the best original charades, drama
tizations or pageants, which illustrate
how the Constitution guarantees the
liberties of all the people. Three prizes
are offered in each state and in the
District of Columbia; LIST prizes Of 80,
End prizes of SO, and Bird prizes OF w.
All manuscripts must be submitted
on or before May 1st, and vii be
pudged by committee of prominent
persons.
The results of the contest will be
used to help teachers and children
everywhere to make their lessons on
the Constitution more interesting and
profitable. Lloyd Taylor, Secretary OF
the National Security League, VINO
conceived the idea Of the Constitution
Contest, is considering several plans
for making available the results. He
has in mind either motion pictures OF
the best dramatizations or the presen-
tation in a festival of pageants OF the
best plays submitted in the Constitu-
ton Contest, at Washington or some
other central point.

BUY YOUR COAL DIRECT
FROM MINE-BIG SAVING.

The high cost of coal is a thing of
the past! At least, there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval of government restrictions -
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get it direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemen's profits. 1t
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who used only
ten or fifteen tons year. This has
been made possible through plan
evolved by large and old-established
concern, THE BERNICE COAL CON-
PANY, with main offices at 400 Como
Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of Gus
toners in various sections of the
United States who receive all Of their
coal direct from the mines. These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
of the many dollars they save every
year, but also because Of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes 30 little dust, that burns SO
well, leaving SO few ashes. If you are
coal used-whether you use hard or
soft coal, much or little-it will be
greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernie Coal Co. at once for prices.

use.

The trustees have ben most wise in
giving to the public this full statement
of the resources and assets of the in

from eleven similar institutions in
other communities in this section of
the state.
1t Is quite evident from the wording

was to make provision for poor per-

thing about, all grounds for current
criticism would disappear.
We need more cooperation between
the hospital corporation, the physi-
clans, the county, the city and the peo-
pie. Furthermore we need shared re-
sponsibility. Ghosts live in the shad-
ow and disappear when the light is
turned on.
Let us erect adequate buildings; let
the churches, other organizations and
individuals furnish rooms, as memo
rails, if they wish Let us have wider
representation on the board of direct
ors, more democratic management
and more frequent reports to the pub
lic Let the people feel that it is their
institution. Let them know just what
is being done and why more can not
be done.
And no one will have right to
criticise who has not done his or her
part.
1t is quite evident that the board of
trustees has borne with great pa
thence unwaranted criticism. And it
is just as evident that the public has
felt called upon to do nothing but
criticise instead of lending a hand to
make possible what we all earnestly
wish-adequate care for the sick and
disabled among us.
Perhaps the public needs not to be
censured so much as 1t needs to be
shown a more excellent way. This
criticism is but the cropping after a
good the public desires but does not
know just no VITO attain. No doubtwe
shall find in the reports from the
eleven other communities suggestions
as to what we mad do to satisfy our
aspirations.

is that these generous, foresightet

$SS175.44, which yields an annual in

of, keep the grass cut, the building
and furnishings insured and in re-
pair, pay for water, heat, light, tele-
phone, cooks, cleaners, superintendent,
nurses, ETC., etc.?
1t must be to every one matter of
surprise that the city and county
should expect the Haywood corpora
ton to take care of any considerable
number of charity patients when the
city and county make no appropria-
ton for this purpose
Following the convincing statement
by the board Of trustees there will
surely be q movement in the commun-
ity for contributions to a fund to pro-
vide adequate buildings and for an
annual appropriation by the city and
county for the care of such patients as
can not pay hospital expenses
For twenty-seven years l have
known Of the, devotion of the women
of Richmond and Madison county in
behalf of the Pattie A. Clay Infirmary.
Following some agitation in the COM
munity for a hospital to meet an
emergency, Mr.. Brutus ]. Clay gave

wife, to be used as an infirmary, pro-
vided running expenses could be

ing of the association a board of d.

rectors elected its president and ex-
ecutive committee and this president
and executive committee looked after
the management of the institution and
found the necessary funds. The board
held regular meetings at the infirm-
airy, heard reports from the superin-
tendent and kept in close touch with
all that was done. SO far as now re-
call all active members of the board
were women.
With an unflagging devotion that
seems marvellous, year after year in
addition to securing appropriations
from the city and county, thees women
use every means that ingenious brains
can devise to raise money to meet
expenses, make improvements and
keep the hospital going. 1t is a re-

In making these boxes 55O,OOOO
pounds of nails are employed. Other
large items use din making and pre-
pairing tobacco for sale are tin and
lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette
wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la
bells, coupons, etc., involving the print
ing trade extensively.
Then building contractors and manu-
facturers of machinery are largely in
terested. Investments in plants and
machinery employed in manufacture
ing tobacco are estimated at $102, 900,
600. Replacement, up-kcep and inter
est on the investment make no small
sum annually.
And let realty men note there are
approximately 325,000 tobacco farms
in the country, with a total estimated
valuation of $160,000,O0O. Of further
interest to real estate men is the fact
that there are 100000 retail establish
ments selling tobacco, involving to-
tai rental and up. X keep impossible to
estimate, besides the large amount of
office space occupied by administrative
branches of the general business.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-05-18

The insurance men, too, have their
share Of the pickings. The tobacco
business pays out annually $7,000000
in premiums in the United States
And there are the railroads who
reap revenue from 2,210,0OO otns of
tobacco products every year.
AS for the advertising business,
here again it is impossible to form
any estimate Of the enormous annual
outlay.
The prohibition of tobacco would
also knock q good-size hole in the re-
celpts of the United States govern
ment. The internal revenue receipts
from tobacco for the fiscal year 1920
amounted to $295 800 9,355.44. Customs
duties provided an additional $25,000,-
600 in round figures, making the total
revenue return to the government
$500, 100000.
Influence on Popular Sentiment
1t is this intcrlocking of the tobacco
business with so many other interests
and the vast amount of financial loss
that would be involved in the abolition
of tobacco that is one of the most Sc
rlous aspects Of the proposal to pro-
hlblt the sale Of tobacco, a proposal,
however, which has little support by
public sentiment if the newspaper edi-
tors of the country arc correct i'm their
estimate of that sentiment.
In poll of the editors made recent
ly by the Tobacco Merchants Asso-
citation Of the United States, through
the Press Service Company of New
York City, 95 per cent of the 7,847
editors who replied expressed the
opinion that the people Of their COM
munitlcs were opposed to any law
against tobacco. AS these editors re-
present some 80,000,000 readers the
results for ma pretty general test Of
national opinion
In their remarks accompanying
their replies many Of the editors eX-
pressed it as their opinion that the
opposition of their communities to the
abolition Of tobacco was based to
some extent at least on the damage
such a change would do to the bust
ness interests Of the community. This
was particularly true in the tobacco
growing states and ccntcrs where
there were large tobacco plants.
But when the extent Of the business
involved in the allied interests of the
tobacco trade is considered, as above
briefly outlined. it is clear that there
is hardly a section Of the country that
would not be affected directly or in
directly by abolishing tobacco.
