W HsG u?

A call meeting of the Board of
Trade was held Friday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock in the Club Rooms to
consider plans for Peach Conven-
tion to be held in Cheraw about the
first week in October and to elect
officers for the coming year for the
Board of Trade. Although the meet
ing was we'll advertised through the
newspaper and by hand bills placed
in every store only two merchants
were present at the meeting. We feel
that the merchants certainly do not
realize what staring the Peach in
dustry in this community will mean
to them three years hence else they
would certainly take every oppor-
tunity to boost any movement tending
to encourage the planting of peaches.
If the peach raising territory was not
within a stones throw of our door
demonstrating the possibilities of the
industry we could understand this
indifference but when We are facing
boll weevil conditions, which will be
on us in another year, one would
think the merchant would at least
take enough interest to be present at
any meeting where any sort OF rene
dy is being put forward.
The Board of Trade has a big work
before il the next six months and 1t
is a work that affects the welfare OF
every business man in town. Some
thing has to be done to help the far
mer with his problem of what to plant
instead of cotton. If you, Mr.. Busi-
ness Man, sit idly by doing nothing
to help the situation, you can depend
on it YOU will suffer the consequences
as YOUR brothers in other sections
have suffered.
If you will get busy and line up
with other business men in the Board
of Trade, come out to the meeting
next Friday night and help plan, we
may avoid financial troubles which
will surely come if we wait until next
year to do something.
However, you are the one to decide
which it will be. Will you fold your
hands and give up or come out and
work now before it is too late.

Gossard Corsets

We have entered a new era
of prosperity, a real prosperity,
a substantial prosperity and a
sane prosperity. Gossard Cor

The Cash Habit.

Many merchants and firms
of the city and county are
adopting the cash system and
should they have done so many
months and years ago, how
much better off would they, as
well as their customers. have
been, because everyone knows
that one will buy more extrav-
agantly when they are given
six months and in some cases
a year to make their payments.
During the past year this was
done by many of our mer-
chants and the result is that
they are carrying thousands of
dollars on their books. some OF
which they may never collect.
Much of this credit was
given to tobacco tenants, who
were so prosperous last year,
and thinking they would rea-
lie a good price for their 1920
crop of tobacco. spent their
money lavishly, in some cases,

the effort.
Prohibition agents in the
service of the government
have connived at its violations
for graft.
District attorneys are sus-
pected of having become sud-
denly blind when men of poll
teal influence have been dis
covered in wholesale liquor
transactions.
State and municipal author
tiles are masters of inactivity
when it comes to the prosecu-
ton of owners of saloons
where liquor is peddled at sky
limit prices.
And the courts-but we
should never criticise our foun-
tains of justice. except to won
der at times what is beneath
the thin veneer that cloaks at
least a portion of them.
Does prohibition prohibit?
Even an answer to such a
question is superfiuous.
This is not an editorial in
support of prohibition, nor is
it one in opposition to the
cause.
1t is simply a cold statement
of fact.
Congress made the law, and
its millions of friends rejoieed.
The government, with all of
its enormous resources and
powers, is apparently i'm
potent to enforce it. And its
opponents are jubilant.
That vast number of the
populace who are between the
two camps, who are not radi-
cal in either way, are rapidly
becoming weary of the whole
subject.
To them il is a national
joke.

ate these conditions for every
one by their persistent buying
on credit. The credit habit
adds to cost Of living. II ties up
the country's resources. and is
a drag on all business.
II every person in Lancas-
ter and Garrard county would
pay his debts for home and
personal supplies. and hereaf-
ter pay cash. IL would release
a lot of local money now held
up in credits. The merchant
who has TO borrow heavily TO
offset the debts the public
owes him, could then pay off
these loans. This would cut
out the charge for interest and
bad debts which he now has
to add to the price OF his
goods.
But even more important, it
would release many thousands
of dollars to be used right
around home for business en-
terprises, building houses. and
helping farmers finance their
next crop. IL more money
were available for loans all
over the country. interest rates
would come down. which
would reduce one important
expense of production.

1t Does And II Don't

IL dnaa and II don't

Does prohibition prohibit?
1t does and il don't.
There is a class of citizens
who believe in the strict OBJ
servance of a law as long as
the law is on the statute books.
With them prohibition does
prohibit, although there are
unquestionably times when at
least a portion of them feel
that intense longing for a
nip"
There is another class who
are law abiding in other mat
tiers, yet who do not draw the
distinction quite as finely as
the strict observers. With
them prohibition does not al
ways prohibit, for many of
them wink one or both eyes
when there is an opportunity
to put a little JOY into life"
There are still others to
whom law is but an odious re-
straint upon their actions.
They are becoming rich from
an Illicit traffic in forbidden
booze.
But that is not all. There
are those who are slaves to
drink, and who would barter
their souls for a quart or a
pint. If they continue to guz-
zie the wood alcohol and other
poisonous stuff that is sold fol-
whiskey they will soon have nc
souls left to barter.

At its first meeting on the first

Superintendent Colvin said, "it will
be desirable to appoint the superin-

end that the county superinten-
dent may not become involved in
the coming political campaign"
II feel confident that no county
board will appoint any person super

does not permit any salary less than
$1,000.
In closing. Superintendent Colvin
said: Let me urge again that the
chances Of the children in each eoun-

the board in the appointment Of the
superintendent. The character and
the conduct and the capacity Of the
person appointed should, in every

President Harding in Letter
Approves National Observ-
ance of May l2, Birthday
of Florence Nightingale

Open house was the order Of the day
in more than one hundred hospitals
here yesterday In observance of Ma
tfonal Hospital Day. General inspec-
tion of the hospitals and nurses homes,
graduation exercises and talks upon
the work and it's needs we're included
in some of the programs. At few
hospitals tea was served and the pa
tronesses held receptions.
The date for this observance, which
will occur every year hereafter. is the
anniversary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale, the patron OF nursing.
In New York certain hospitals moved
the graduation day exercises for their
nursing classes up to suit the occasion.
Bellevue and Kings County hospitals,
the Brooklyn Hospital and Lebanon
Hospital, in the Bronx, held gradua-
tion exercises last night. The Peck
Memorial Hospital, in Brooklyn, al
though too remote to have many Wis
ltors, made an especial point of cale-
brating among its employees and pa
ClentS- Flower hospital and Fordhanf
Hospital had elaborate programs and
served tea in the afternoon.
Approval of the movement was ex-
pressed to the committee by the Presi-
dent of the United States, the gov
ernors of many states and the mayors
of cities. President Harding's letter to
Mr.. Foley follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Foley: It is especially
pleasure at this time to express my
interest in the work of the National
Hospital Day, which. seeks to arouse
the largest possible public interest in
the work of the country's hospitals and
similar institutions. You have most
properly chosen May u, the anniver-
sary of the birth of Florence Nightin-
gale, as the day to be celebrated as
National Hospital Day. Just at this
time those OF us who are concerned in
the administration of national affairs
are having our attention forced Co the
very great need of expanded hospital
facilities by reason of the require
ments of disabled soldiers. 7 can most
heartily extend my good wishes for
the most useful results from our ef-
forts. Very truly yours,
