An Old slander.
.(News and Gourier},.

-.-.k-.S
The New York Times in tssissne
of last Sunday quoted the Piesorai
Review as referring to South car
olina as a state which denies
a divorce and recognizes concaI
.binage" If the Pictorial Review
said such thing it was guilty rf
reviying a SANDER which issel OF
the less absurd because it happeTs rs
to be hoary with age. Away bae.,z
in colonial times it is true Shat
South Carolina did pass a statute
which denied to testator thefight
TO leave to his concubine orfe IL
Legitimate children more than
one-third Of his property. This Is
the only possible basis for the sug
gestion made by 3he PietoraI
view and quoted by the Tinles.
The object Of the statute inaues
ton was to prevent; a man from
cutting. Off his wife and his legltl-
mate offspring in his viii, and
difference then between South Car
Dina and other states. was that IN
other states and in England a man
could leave all his property, tosinis
concubine or to his iilegitinnates
children. So far as recognizing
concnbinage in the statute law OF
South Carolina at present e con-
cerned, living either in adultery or
concu binage is a cause for fine and

OLD AGE

Every once in while we. pick

expert telling how you can live
TO be q hundred years old OR more.
The though often comes TO the
mind of people Of what the kid an
swered when asked how to live long.
He replied: Don't quit Breathing y
One map will say never to use
tobacco. and another will say to
use it. one is an abstainer, the other
always took his nip. Such is life.
Rockefeller, who seems destined
TO reach this great age, seems an
example of play as we'll as work.
This seems the most logical point
10 commend TO those who wish to
i've TO an old age. Exercise in the
open air, change of environment,
and the absence of worry. should,
If any thing can, make for a long
life. The disease OF worry carries
more people to an early grave than
any other one cause, other than
sickness itself. Abuse of nature and
the laws of nature will undermine
and take away from the body more
material good than all the doctors
and right living in the world can
repair
SO the main issue to live to be
4 hundred IS TO take care Of your
SELF and not quit breathing.-Ex-

attention Of the cotton growers to-
the fact that only a small percehs
tage of the cotton acreage could be
treated with calcium arsenate In
1923 due 10 the lack Of an adequate
supply Of poison. and said that
much of the arsenates treatment in

! improperly given, or given at the

so that the best results could be OBJ

Our Sole Living
In spite of the fact that the be-
low areas have no surplus of wood
to spare yet in trip to Charlotte.
" c.. last week I found lumber and
logs piled up practically at every
station on the road ard the sa me
condition exists largely on the
Georgia railroad. These wood and
lumber exhibits indicate that the
people along these railways are to-
day living off or their already 100
limited forests, which means, in
turn. that the sawmill and the pulp
wood man are literally skimnling
all of our woods and leaving nothA
ing there but bare stumps; it, t,means
that Our agricultural activities are
decreasing and that necessarily our
land values are also decreasing and
it means that a serious exodus Of
our farm labor is obtaining and q
labor that Will never return. Our
people do not all realize that these
dangerous tendencies are with us
nor do they understand their true
meanings. Would that some aangel
could trumpet it out of this skies,
saying: Conserve your standing
wood; hold ON at all hazards to
your labor; continue your normal
farm activities.

WHAT is NEwse

What is news?' What does q per-
son mean when they pick up a pa
per and say there is no news today?
What is news?
.. News are items of public interest
collected from the four corners of
the earth-pertaining to all things
and published in the paper for
the benefit of the readers and to in
form people Of the happenings in
this world.
Some believe that news is mere
ly the scandal and vicioC sness tha,
some seem to delight in and which
is used in their prophecies that the
world is going to the dogs.
One Of the greatest virtues Of the
weekly paper is that it is not full
of news, in the applied sense of
some. The scandals and vices that
fill up the pages of the cosmopolitan
dailies are not seen in the week
lies as a rule. for their space is
ased for the betterment of its :aaa-
ers. The average weekly paper
editor is greatly more interested in
the ten fancy pigs Jim Jones bought
than in the woman. who shot her
husband. Sallie Smiths baby hav-
ing scarlet fever is Of more interest
to him than that some celebrated
person has a spell of tonsolitis. The
notice Of the weekly prayer meeting
meeting contains more interest for
the weekly paper than that the for
eign Offices are having great diplo-
matte conferences.
The publishers of the weekly pa
pers never become rich in this
worlds goods, but the richness Of
feeling and experience is something
that money cannot buy. May the
day never come when the weekly
paper will be other than message
from home TO the man who has left
the old family fireside. nor to the
ones who stay at home, and whose
eyes are eager to see the happen
ings around them which means to
them community gathering every
day the paper is printed.-EX-

Revenue Under
New Tariff
Import Taxes May Reach
S445, 900, 900 This Year
Greatest in History

Washington. Nov. 9 (By the As
sociated Press).-A federal reve-
nue. of approximately S445,000,o0o
this fiscal year from import taxes.
or about S100 100000 more than
ever before in the nations history.
was forecast today by customs Of
ficials on the basis Of returns un-
der the new tariff act for month
and a half of its operation and
the almost unprecedented income
which: imm ediately preceded enact
ment Of the measure: when there
were heavy Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses and a rush Of
imports to avoid the higher duties
carried in the new law.
The actual revene for the first
month was $40, ,86S,2 ,2f6, or at the
rate OF nearly $500. 100000 a year
Officials said this was the first
time that customs receipts had
reached $40, 100000 in the month
after enactment Of new tariff.
They expected some recession from
this monthly total, but said there
was little or no indication of the
slump in imports which usually
has occurred during the first six
months or year Of protective rates.
Two explanations are offered.
One is the abnormal foreign ex-
change. and world economic con-
dition and the other therecovery of
the country before passage of the
Fordney-McCumber act from the
after-the-war industrial depression
and attendant buyers strike.
Were there to be any great de-
preston in import trade it would
be manifestirg itself by this time,
according to these officials. In
stead Of any such manifestation.
they declare that foreign goods are
reaching the country in increasing
quantities as evidenced by the con-
gestion in the. appraisers stores at
the9port of New York,
While imports are holding their
own in. volume, customs officers
are unable to say now whether
new rates affecting certain lines
have had the effect of shutting out
such goods from particular foreign
countries as was predicted by op-
ponents of the Fordney-McCumber
measure.
Treasury officers view the in1-s
port situation with much satisfac-
ton. AS it now is developing the
government is getting a greater
revenue even than was estimated
would be yielded and at the same
time the country is absorbing for
eign goods in such volume as in
their judgment should assist for
egin nations to liquidate their
debt to the United States.
