Ben Franklin, Reformer.

Like many Of US today, Franklin
was no churchgoer, but firmly be-
lieved in the desirability of other peo-
pies attendance. at public worship.
In the goodness of his heart, however,
he was desirous Of making the Church
Of England's morning service Iess
onerous to the faithful. So. while
representing the Ceonies in England,
he proceeded to ahridge the Book OF
Common Prayer! He was assisted In
the task by an English crony, the once
notorious Lord De Spencer.
The whole episode reminds us Of
the day when, as small boy, he sug-
gested to his astonished parent that
much time and trouble might be saved
if grace were said over the whole
family pork-barrel at once.-Asa DOE
Dickinson in the New York Times.

The suggestion has been made that
the little neck of land down along
College street below the residence OF
CAPTAIN NJ. NJ. Buford would make
a good place in which to park cars,
and that such place is now greatly
needed and that this would be a much
better use TO which to put this little
neck of land than to try to make a
park. On crowded days in the city
it is very difficult to find suitable
place in which to park, and many
times those of our friends who come
from the country have to park further
out than good many people live who
drive down to their business every
day and take up the parking room.
We think the suggestion to turn this
into a place to park cars is fine one,
and we pass the suggestion on to the
civic association.

Supervisor King of Anderson says
that when the link in Newberry IS
completed there will be fine road all
the wav from Anderson to Columbia
via Newberry. With the exception OF
small break in Abbeville county.
That is bad break in Abbevllle
and then there is small break down
in Richland county of about three
miles but that will! be built very soon.
Just now the road from Newberry
to Chappells is not finished but it IS
being built and should be open to
travel within sixty days. Then the
road will be good all the way to Wal
halla and we can get in our cars at
the mountains and put the foot on the
gas and drive right into Charleston.

RICH ASIA MINOR PROVINCE
Smyrna, Blessed With a Fertile Soil
and Temperate Climate, Is Pleas
ant Dwelling Place.

The modern province of Smyrna Is
the most favored of all the provinces
of Asia Minor. 1t contains three OF
the most considerable rivers Of the
country, including the Meander, whose
serpentine course has given the Eng
lish language an expressive verb. Fer
tile soil and temperate climate have
added to the regions attractions, while
the possession of port and city-the
city Of Smyrna by any 9TH
er in Asia Minor has contributed all"
other immeasurably important asset
Though imperfectly titled during its
control. by Turkey, the province OF
Smyrna has nevertheless been noted
for it's fine fruits. For long time 1t
has furnished the best figs and raj
sins which reach the markets Of Eu-
rope.
Poets and travellers have sung and
told of the beauties of the city OF
Smyrna throughout the ages. The nu-
cleus nestles in the lowlands about its
harbor, and behind, the city rises tier
above tier against the neighboring high
lands. Unlike many cities that have
survived for long ages, Smyrna has
retained the same name from the dawn
of history. This city should be dear
to the heart of the modern feminist,
for it took its name from an Amazon
Hho is reputed to have played an inn
portant part in its early life.-Nation-
al Gp0oranhic Society Bulletin.

We would like to say that the sug

We would like to say that the sug-
gestion of Mr.. T. E. Wicker that he
would like to have the sweet potato
growers make try out on home rals-
ed plants as against the plants ship
ped in, was a rather delicate and
striking blow at the chamber of COM
merce in undertaking TO sci! and fur
nish plants to the C., zens of the
county in competition with citizen
who has gone to co 1si1:rebie expense
to raise the plants. In other words,
it would seem to a man up tree that
il would have been more graceful in
an organization ostensibly established
to help better the local conditions,
while it was endeavoring to encour-
age the growing of potatoes, which
is a laudaiole purpose, and that IL
would at the same time have served
the same purpose, and would have
been encouraging home enterprise, to
have made an arrangement with Mr..
Wicker to take his plants rather than
order from a foreign house. Even at
small advance in cost. And be
sides it is not the function of The
chamber of commerce to go into any
business, even the business of selling
potato plants, in competition with
our own folk. That is the way it ap-
pears to us.

1t will pay to keep the speed cco
on the road all the time. We under
stand that Sheriff Blease has asked
the Legislative delegation to author
ize him ~ employ a couple motor
cycle policemen foe this purpose and
no doubt the delegation will see the
wisdom of such a move and will grant
the request. The truth is our dele
CATION does anything almost that the
sheriff requests, and this is one that
should be granted, and when these
speed fends are caught the fine should
be sufficient to make an impression
on the mind of the man or the woman
who is caught speeding. We have
very little patience with the speeder
and with the hog who takes all the
road, and we can not understand why
the law or the rule when passing, to
drive on the left, is not observed. 1t
is for the protection of both cars, the
one passing and the one to be passed,
that some sort of signal be given by
the car that is desirous of passing, but
very frequently it happens that the
cars just dart by without any sort of
signal that they desire to get by. Ard
then when you meet car it is so nice
and such fine courtesy for each to
give at laest a little part Of the road,
and to observe the rule to slow down
just little to be sure that you have
your car under control.
AS there are so many who are crlv-
ing who seem to have no thought for
any but themselves, and very little for
themselves, it becomes necessary to
have these speed cops, and if they will
get on the job properly they can make
their salaries from the fines. If the
trial judges will put the right sort Of

if the prospect is not better in other
