been imposed on the road builders
by the Highway Commission with re-
gard to such dangerous places, but
we do know that any person suffer-
ing injuries to his person or to his
property by reason of the present
condition of the road would be en-
titled to damages.
For this reason it seems to US that
the Supervisor should require that
the road be put in better shape at
this point or he should himself make
some temporary repairs to the road
to the end that mo person shall re-
ceive unnecessary injury from the
present condition of the road, and
as we'll to save the county from ac-
tions for damages.

DANGER AHEAD.

Al what is known as DRY Branch"
beyond the home Of the late F. M.
Crowther, the road builders are pre-
pairing to complete fill. We suppose
that they are waiting on materials
fcr bridging the stream. Whatever
the cause Of delay, the road there is
now in a dangerous cond ton, espe-
cially to travellers in the night time.
On each SIDE OF the branch the fill is
constructed to height Of about five
or six feet above the old road bed.
Between the two ends Of the fill, at
the branch, there is now deep cut.
In addition to this OIL the sides of
the fill great gaps have been washed
which extend\ almost to the middle
of the fill. a person travelling the
road at night might easily run into
one of these gaps, or receive in
juries from the sudden descent into
the cut.
We do not know what duties have

DIED AT THE POST OF DUTY.

The enforcement of the law is the
guarantee that the world will remain
civilized. Those who enforce the law
are guardians Of our liberty. They
are none the less soldiers of the
country than are those who 60 down
to battle.
Bascomb Cannon was a policeman
of the city of Abbeville. He was born
in a humble home; he lived all his
life in a humble home. He sought
neither riches nor honors. He was
quiet, gentle as a woman, and un-
assuming. But he was honest, he was
courteous, he was kind to those
about him, a faithful husband, and a
father to those who were fatherless.
While others slept he lost his life at
the post of duty.
What more can rulers do?

PAUL L. GRlER.

The last of the men who taught at
Erskine College when we were a
student there, except one, has passed
away. Prof. Grier was elected to the
chair of mathematics the. year be-
fore the editor of this paper entered
the Freshman class at the old COL
lege. 1t seems only little time ago,
and Prof. Grier was then but young
man, but his life is ended. And it
ended only after it was complete. At
5s he is gathered to his fathers, but
in accomplishments he lived the full
span of mans life.
Prof. Paul Grier was born a teach
er. Of all the men we have known
none of them had his faculty for
clue: :dation of the problems which
confronted the student, and none OF
them taught more thoroughly. Men
like him have made Erskine College.
They have not sought to make of the
college a great university, or even to
cover a great deal of ground, but
what they have attempted they have
accomplished in thorough manner.
In every calling there is the desire
for success and promotion we sup
pose. But with Prof. Grier duty came
before position, and loyalty to the
church in which he was born and to
its institutions held first place. He
might have been the head of one OF
the great institutions of learning in
the state if he had consented to leave
ErsKme- College. There his great
ability as an execurive-and his train
ing as a teacher would have Insured
success to the institution and great
honor for him.. But Erskine College
held first place in his heart, and he
preferred to serve his/church, even
at a meagre salary, rather than ac-
cept what to the casual observer was
an offer of promotion. y,
! OF such men as he The Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church has
been made. By such men her institu-
tions are directed. And because of
them the church and the colleges,
and the other institutions of the de-
nomination, command respect.

FAME.

FAME
It takes a strong character indeed
to live under the piercing rays of
fame.
And many a one fails and falls I'M
der it's influence.
Yet who does not long to be IA
nous? 81 want to be famous make
me famous!"-how often we hear
these expressions.
But fame is like nearly everything
that comes thru accident or effort, it
has to be taken care of. 1t has to be
fed. And often the mere feeding of
it produces soul indigestion-even as
rich foods and excuses destroy the
one who is given sudden wealth after
long years of want and poverty.
Fame is tickle, TOO. 1t often leaves
one as suddenly as it came.
When 1 was a boy I read a poem
called "Over the Hill to the Poor
House." by Will Carleton. After writ
ing it he sent it to Harper'S Weekly
and it was returned with the neat lit
tie notation mot able'-words
that millions of ambitisus ones have
received as souvenirs.
But Carleton evidently believed that
he had written something that was
worth while. So he sent his poem
away again. This time to D. R.
Locke, whom for years so many knew
under the pen name of Petroleum V.
Nasty, at that time editor of the To-
ledo Blade. Mr.. Locke was glad to
publish the poem and to write the
author about its merit. This letter
Carleton enclosed with another to
Harper's Weekly, again addressed to
George William Curtis, who was so
pleased that he published the poem
in Harper's Weekly and sent the au-
thor $10-the first money he ever re-
oeived for his efforts!
And that is what Carleton got for
the poem that made him famous and
gave him recognition.
The greatest thing behind fame is
appreciation. Without that, fame is
emptier than vacuum.
There are much finer things in this
world, however, than fame. You have
to live up to fame. You have to fon-
die and purr it. You have to stand in
too many false lights before it. You
have to keep excusing yourself behind
it's back.
The best plan is toSpay no attention
to fame. 10 your work, and be glad
while you do it. Pass from each COM
pleted task to something greater and
more useful. Keep helping someone
else along.
Then fame Will lie quietly down
with YOU to share your eternal dreams
of happiness.

Frequently in the past few months
has been heard the suggestion that
industry be kept moving by extend
ing credit But If credit be ex-
tended, there must be some one to put
up the money to meet the monthly
or weekly payroll. Money to meet a
payroll when credit is extended can
be obtained only thru a surplus-the
surplus of the concern itself or money
borrowed from some other surplus.
The facts in this case ought to impress
the minds of all those who look upon
an accumulated surplus as an evil
dence of criminal profiteering. There
is much virtue in a surplus. But
those who frame our tax laws seem to
favor taking the money away from
those who earn it and then letting the
government return it to them in the
form of loan.

Secretary Hoover is asking congress
for an appropriation of $20,o00.o0o 10
be used in feeding the starving Rus
SLAMS. He says private subscriptions
are declining. Apparently the public
is firing of feeding the Bolshevii. If
this be true it seems hardly fair to
force them to contribute thru taxa
ton. If this country be under any
obligati, I. moral or otherwise, to
feed Russia. by all means let that OBJ
legation be discharged thru an appro-
priation from the federal treasury
But many doubtless will be unable to
see why we should aid in maintaining
a lot of thieves and cutthroats in a
position of authority thru which they
are able to prevent the Russian peo-
pie from providing for themselves.
There should be a place for common
sense even in charity.

which the baseball writer OF the New
Y or7x Trib. Ensembles his agony. It
is going to hurt him worse than IL
hurts the Babe"
The supreme court has decided a
strike picket may not resort to intim-
idation. We do not question the wis
dom of the court, or the Justice of its
decision; but what's the use of having
strike picket if he can't intimidate
anybody?
That, we gathered in our brief ex-
perience in picketing, is what a strike
picket is for.
As indicated in the fecund fount OF
fol. de-roI. we watched the attempt or
the baseball reporters of the New York
Trib to dissemble their agony with
! keen interest. They do not, we are
glad to say, believe the game Will die
as a result of the penalty inflicted on
Babe Ruth. In fact. they hold out
definite hope that it may survive. Bur
they do think it has been grievouslyl
injured.
One fear grips and obsesses them.
1t is that the Babe will not be able to
break the home-run record again next
season. 1t is we'll that they COVER in
| the face of this awful Potentially. We
make bold to predict the Babe never
will set up another record. In the

Giant pitchers the deadliness of the
