Scouts and the Scoutmaster

There is a strong bond of fellowship
or comradeship which develops be-
tween the scouts and the Scoutmaster.
bond that is not often found between
rather and son. The reason for this
Is that the Scoutmaster leads the
scouts in doing what is to be accom-.
plished, while the father usually tells
the boy to do task and then IL IL IA

ly unable to get In and give the boy
start on the task, and the boy. who
Is gregarious animal and likes com.
pany, cannot bring himself to the
point of doing the work alone.
This spirit OF comradeship and
helpfulness was well demonstrated by
the scouts Of Lindon, Utah, last
spring. The boys of the troop had
been working as a group thinning
beets, the scoutmaster leaving HIS
own field In order to work with the
boys In order to earn some money for
the troop treasury. When he finally
got back to his own work he found
that II would take much hard work
to get his beets Trimmed in time.
Near the end Of the third day as he
came up to the house, he met a group
OF scouts who wanted him to 60 swim.
ming with them. He finally consent
ed and went for little fun. AS they
returned from their swim, there was
congregated at the house practically
all the troop. The scoutmaster was
puzzled as to why they had come so
early. for although that was the troop
meeting night. 1t was several hours
before meeting time. After a few
preliminary words Of cheerful banter
with the newcomers, one of the BOYS
said, Come on fellows, lets get busy
and get this job done before its too
late" and away they went behind the
barn where all had ditched their
hoes and up to the field and to work
thinning the Scoutmasters beets.

NATIONAL BUDGET ON TRIAL

The new director of the budget, Gen
eral Lord, has before him a standard
of accomplishment the administration
points to with an eXcusable feeling of
pride.
The books for the fiscal year 1922 re-
Gently closed show the year began with
a prospective deficit of $24, 468, 703 and
ended with a surplus of receipts over
expenditures of $313,S01,6 51.
The national debt has been reduced
$1,041, 969,S44, and balance of
$272, 105,512 remains in the general
fund
1t is only fair to say, however, that
Secretary Mellon clearly pointed out
some months ago that much of the re-
duction of expenditure is merely a
postponement of payments due to a
shift in the governments financial Op-
eratiOns.
Calm analysis of the results of the
budget system do not warrant more
than an indication in it's favor, though
certainly nothing can be said against
it. The system has not yet been put to
the test, proof of it's efficacy being i'm
possible to date.
With more complete knowledge of
the resources of the government now
known and a closer tabulatiOn ON eX-
penditures that are elastic, the lkeli-
hood is that the new budget which is
NOW in hand will hn TnI1ob moro oo.
curate than it's predecessor.
When General Lord is ready to re-
port, the public will be in a better po-
sitiOn to judge the system and it's
workings and perhaps to appreciate
the groundwork laid by General
Dawes.
On it's face the budget appears to be
working in favor of the American
pocketboOk.

WORK WILL CURE ILLS

The purchasing power of the wages
of the railroad employe, according to
Secretary Of Agriculture Henry Wal
lace, was 81 per cent more in 1921 than
in 1913. The purchasing power of the
wages of the coal miner was 80 per
cent greater than in 1913 But the
purchasing power of the farmers in
come was 25 to 45 per cent less. While
great bodies of men have been refus-
ing to work and piling up the costs Of
transportation and fuel, the farmers
keep digging away at full production,
although often they can't get back a
new dollar for an old one. The farm
ers whose political assistance is being
sought by the city laborites are
asking rightfully that as the safest
road to better times, the wage earners
in the cities get to work and keep at
work, as faithfully as they themselves

HOME RESPONSIBILITIES

Many of the young people of today
are not getting fair chance in life.
This observation includes a large
number of Ladysmith's young folks.
We haven't in mind, however, the
struggling boys and girls who are
working their way through the high
school or the other schools. No, in
men and young women who do not
lack money to crafty all ordinary
wishes; who wear good clothes, who
attend all the amusements going, who
have motor car at their command,
and who have a continuous good time
with no apparent responsibilities
young folks who apparently have
nearly everything desirable except a
bank account of their own accumula-
ton.
That statement may seem a little
at variance with the facts, but we be-
lieve it is true and it is based on COM
mon observation. Since the imitation
of war times, it seems that many of
the youth of the city-and Lady
smith is not different, except in de-
gree, from any other city-cannot de
ny themselves any pleasure or desire
to which they take a fancy. Any dis
appointment in customary pleasures
upsets them entirely. They know
nothing of adversely, and if they met
with it they would be practically help
less. They think they cannot have a
good time unless they are spending
money and going some place. To
read a good book is punishment for
them and you do not find them at the
public library or at a good lecture,
but in public places Of an entirely
different character. Chautauquas bore
them-everything seems to bore them
except the frivolous and the costly
They are growing up without self-con.
fidence and without initiative.
This is not intended as a lecture to
these young people. They are not to
blame. 1t is their misfortune, though
of course, they do not realize it. If
they had had the right bringing up
they would be different, and it is a
strange circumstance that their par.
ents who did not live such a butter
fly life as they are living, are really
the ones who are responsible for the
conditions that exist in many families.
Parents want their children to make
as good a SHOW" as any one else
does. They are too indulgent They
want their children to have everything
that the richest and most spoiled boy
or girl in town has, not realizing that
this is mistaken kindness and that
they are robbing their children of
those qualities which go to make up
successful men and women.
Every youth should have something
to do, some responsibility. outside of
school hours 1t is not enough that
they get their lessons. Character is
built in the home. If home training
is lax and dishonest, teachers are sell

PRESENCE OF MIND
PREVENTS ACCIDENT

Roy Andrus, of Bruce, was driving
to the fair Friday afternoon when the
rear wheel of his car became loose,
which caused the brake to cease func-
tioning, on the hill south of the
Brooklyn bridge" In order to
prevent a collision with the car ahead,
he drove astraddle of the cement pier
at the east side of the road which
stopped his car. His presence of mind
with his quick action probably pre-
vented a serious accident.
No man is ever old as long as he
considers himself young.

DEATH SENTENCE

Shipp Fixes July ID in Refusing
New Trial-Plea From
Prisoner

Florence, June 10.-Judge S. w
G. Shipp in the sessions court here
this afternoon refused to grant Ed
mund D. Bigham a new trial and
sentenced him to be put to death ir
the electric chair July IA.
Bigham was convicted of murder
in connection with the killing of his
brother, Smiley Bigham, and is in
dicted for murder also for the
deaths of his mother and sister and
the latter's two adopted children
The wholesale murder took place
on the Bigham plantation in Janu
ary 1921.
Bigham was tried in March Of
last year. The supreme court dis
missed the appeal and Bigham's at
torneys sought a new trial on the
ground of after discovered evi
dence which, they declared, tended
to show that Smiley and not Ed
mund Bigham did the killing. It i:
not thought the case will end here.
Unbiased by the sentence ot
death, Bigham argued with thu
court this afternoon before hun
dreds of spectators for the privilege
of saying, "Some things would likt
to tell now as this may be my las
chance to speak before these peo
ple." The court replied that ode
pended on how long you will take

thought, the court added "yol

NEAR EAST RELIEF

To the people of Abbeville County:
The South Carolina Division OF
Near East Relief incorporated by
Act of Congress) has made an ur-
gent request that the people of Alb
beville County observe next We'd
nesday, June IA, as Bundle-Day, a
day for the ingathering Of old
clothes and garments to be sent i'm
mediately to the people Of Armenia
and Syria as protection against the
cold of next winter. The clothing
hanging in our closets and no longer
useful to us can be the means of
saving lives of the naked people of
the Near East. In a letter to me
Hon. A. F. Lever says: eve have
chance to show the world that the
people of South Carolina do hear
the cries of these little suffering
kiddies:" The cooperation of every
citizen of Abbeville County is ask
ed in order that we may even in
the short time organize this work to
organize this campaign and so labor
that we shall make next Wednesday
a great day in the history Of

quire a great deal of personal sacri-
flee for each one Of US to make up
bundle from our own homes,
carry that bundle to the station to
be designated by the chairman of
the community in which we live,
and so minister to a great need and
save human lie.
Clothing that can be used is as
follows: Coats and sweaters, dress
es, blankets, wool shirts, heavy
hosiery, wool gloves, shoes (tied in
pairs), shop worn garments, sheets
for bandages, new cloth or gar
ments, any heavy clothing in which
there is still some wear. Never mind
sending in laces, silks, wells, evening
clothes, satin slippers, muslin un-
derwear, high heeled shoes, straw
or frame hats, or silk stockings-
these things do not clothe freezing
people. Clothing for persons Of all
ages is desired.
The main consideration in packing
the bundle is not paper covering,
but good strong cord and well
packed bundle. You can have ship

hundred bales of cotton on one hun

r. # was true and how he did it.
Mr.. Adams replies in letter that
the report is true and the way he did
It was by WORKING HIS CROP. He
did not use any poison; he did not
use much fertilizer but he worked
that cotton to a fare-you-well, plow'
ing it sometimes twice a week.

Dear SIR
Your letter to hand in regard to
the statement by Mr.. Jackson as to
the amount of cotton made by me
last year and in reply I will say that
Mr.. Jackson was mistaken in the a.
mount or got the acres mixed and MS
number of bales of cotton was also
wrong. The correct statement is that
I had one hundred and ten acres IN
cotton last year and made one hun
dred bales of cotton.
I cannot tell you anything special
I did but constant work.
I plowed my cotton sometimes twice
q week or would run around i,
once and put a middle furrow in ii
the same week.
I did not use any poison but
picked up squares as much as could
I think the constant work is what
did the work for me as only useo
200 lbs. of standard fertilizer.
Another thing that proves that Il
was work that gave me the big yielc
