Much to Be Thankful For.-Sout

Much to Be Thankful For.-South
Carolina has keenly felt the relatively
poor position she has held among the
sisterhood of states in such matters as
education. good roads and public i'm
prOvcmcnts. But with Thanksgiving
only a short while off it is not amiss
to recount some of our blessings. In
the last number Of statistical compila-
tions that have been made during the
lest year this state has footed three
lists for which she should he exceed
ingly proud.
Is it not an honor to have it said Of
South Carolina that she has:
Fewer divorces than any other state?
Fewer automobile deaths per capita
than any other state?
Fewer lawyers per capita than any
other state?
1t proves conclusively that South
Carolinians are on the whole well bal
anccd. They have peace at home,
peace on the highways and more peace
betwcen'each other than people of 9TH
er statcs-if the paucity of barrsters
is an infallible indication.
Is ii not an attractive asset to claim
greater domestic harmony, fewer
death hounds" and the necessity Of a
smaller number of legal mediators
than any other state?
Wherefore we may rejoice. BY be
ing on the bottom of these tables we
are really on top, unless some pessi-
mistic critic should point out the con-
ncction between the lack of divorce
laws, ana the scarcity of lawyers

SHIP BUILDING DECLINES
English Yards Not so Busy as For
merly.

English Yards Not so Busy as For
merIy.
Lloyd's register of shipbuilding re-
turns for the quarter ended in Septem-
Der, 1922 show that merchant tonnage
under construction in the United
Kingdom on September 80, amounted
to 1,617,045 tons. This represents a
reduction of about 100000 tons, as
compared with the total at the end of
the previous quarter.
The total, however, includes q con-
siderable amount of tonnage (419,399
tons), on which work has been sus-
pended for somc time. Deducting this
amount for purposes Of comparison
with figures for normal times, the mer-
chant tonnage actually under construc-
ton in the United Kingdom amounted
to 1,19SO0O tons.
The average tonnage under con-
struction during the twelve months
Immediately preceding the war was l.
$4,000 or $4,000 tons more than the
present figures.
The total merchant tonnage now
building abroad amounts TO 1,OS5,511
tons, but includes about 25G,OOO tons
upon which work has been suspended,
leaving about $4,000 tons actually un-
der construction.
The tonnage building abroad is
about 100000 tons lower than the total
building at the end of June last, the
figures for the leading countries are:
Italy, 21O,114 tons; France, 1906
tons; Holland, 17IO2I tons; United
States, 147,O56 tons; and Japan, 96,S97
tons. These figures do not take into
account the tonnage building in Ger
many and at Dantzig, for which no re-
turns arc available, but it is estimated
that the tonnage under construction in
Germany at the present time is about
100000 tons, and at Dantzig, 10000
tons.

YORK COUNTY LEADS
More Potato Curing Houses Than Any
Otlrer County in the State.

F. L. HarlSey, chief of the division
Of markets in the state, stated yester-
day that already 800 sweet potato cur
ing houses had been built in South
Carolina, with combined capacity of
100000 bushels of curing space.
Spartanburg county ranks third in
the state in number of curing houses,
having IS houses with a capacity Of
$4,000 bushels of potatoes. According
to the figures, Greenville county, next
door neighbor, has two official curing
houses with total of $500 bushels ca
pacity.
During the past year eight new cur
ing houses were built in Spartanburg
county, ten houses having been built
prior to this fall. The capacity for the
old houses amounted to $500 bushels,
while that of the additional eight
amount to 1900 bushels.
South Carolina began building sweet
potato curing and storage houses in
1915 with record of one such house.
With the small beginning the follow
ing figures show the present tendency:
In 1916 there were built in the state,
six curing houses; in 1917, eleven
houses were constructed; in 1918,
twenty houses were built; in 1919 there
were twenty-five houses built; in 1920
there were thirty-fve built; in 1921
there were eighty one built and last
year there were 10 houses constructed.
York county has the largest number
of curing houses, there being twenty
two in that county. Orangeburg coun-
ty ranks second in number of houses,
having twenty, and Spartanburg rank
ing third, with eighteen curing houses.
Florence county, although having
only few houses, ranks first in ca
pacity, having combined storing room
for 7O,500 bushels.-Spartanbu Her.

There has been very little wheat
grown in the blackjacks for many
years on account of the chinch bug.
Mr. Huey said however, that the chinch
bug gave very little trouble last year
and the wheat acreage is being IN

we get to growing as much wheat as
we used to grow the chinch bug will
come back and stop us again"
The Route to Winnsboro.
Writing to ]. H. Carroll of York
Vile, relative to the trip made by Mes
srs. Carroll and Marshall between Gas
tonia and Columbia, with q view to
making a MAPPING showing route and
distance in order to attract eastern
and northern tourists this way, Mr.. j.
f. Mcdonald, Jr., of Winnsboro, says:
81 noticed in the paper that you were
engaged in making a map showing
road from Yorkville via Chester, Great
Falls, Lugoff, ETC., to Columbia, and
am simply writing to call your atten-
tion to the fact that by next fall we
expect to complete the top soil road
clean through this county through
Winnsboro. This will connect with
eighteen miles of concrete road at the
Richland line into Columbia. We have
just voted on n S5OO,0OO bond issue
and it carried by q vote of about seven
to one, and there is consequently no
doubt but that work will commence in
the early spring as the road has al
ready been surveyed. This road will
then be the main road from Charlotte
to Columbia and will be so advertised,
and your own folder would probably
be more effective showing this route,
or at least mentioning that this road
will be completed in 1923. The road
WInnsboro will be Considera-
bly, shorter than by going around to
Great Falls, and will also connect with
a good road to Camden"

PLAYERS DISMISSED.
Furman Football Players Broke the
Training Rules.

Training Rules.
"Jack" Dempsey and Oliver McCur-
ry, halfbacks, were dismissed from
the Furman university football squad
Tuesday by Head Coach w. /. LAVAL
for breaking training rules at Bates
burg on the night before the game on
Saturday with the University of South
Carolina. Another member of the
squad whose name was not made pub
lie, also accused Of breaking training
rules. will be allowed to remain in the
squad on probation, but will be de-
MED the privilege of winning his block
"I"" and other privileges accorded to
varsity" men.
Dismissal of Dempsey and McCurry
reduces the Furman varsity squad to
less than two elevens and comes at a
critical time, as Furman meets Glenn
son Saturday week in the game which
will decide the championship. Demp-
scy and McCurry were two of the most
valuable men on the squad and the lat
ter has shown up hashily in several
games this year, being one of the indi-
vidual stars Of the South Carolina
game.
Devore Andrews, manager of the
Fuman team, announced Tuesday that
he will get out for practice. He has
never played football, but is an accu-
rate punter and a remarkable player,
and has chance to win Il regular
berth.

- Miss Belle Sorrow occupied the
pulpit in the New Holiness church on
South Main street Sunday night, says
an Abbeville dispatch Of Wednesday.
Miss Sorrow is a sister of Watson Sor-
row, the organizer of the church and
took as her subject the story of the
rich man and Lazarus and eXpounded
the Word with force. When she finished
her sermon about twenty men and wo-
men came forward and gave her their
hands. This new Holiness church in
AbbevilIe is very interesting. 1t began
with meetings in the homes, grew to
tent meetings and street meetings, and
finally Mr.. Watson Sorrow conceived
the idea of building a house of worship.
The building is free will Offering, cv-
erything in it being donated, lumber,
nails. money and labor being given
freely. The members of the church
performed most of the labor, outsiders
frequently lending a hand. About a
month ago when the days grew short
er electric lights were installed on the
scaffold and darkness made no differ
ence, the hammers and saws making
music way in to the night. Most of the
work performed was done by men who
had finished their days work out in the
world, and had to be performed at
night. The organist and choir leader
is a fine inside finisher and after even
ing service he would don overalls and
work for an hour or two. The building
is now complete and an honor to those
who have toiled that they might have
the wherewith to cover their heads
when worshipping in teir chosen way.

The Why OF 1t.

What made FAIRIES kill four men,
bers of Taylor's family, two of them
children? All kinds of theories have
been advanced. In every home in the
country side the case has been dis
cussed from every angle. FAIRIES, it is
said, insisted on using water from a
we'll in the yard, although there was
running water in his house. Raised
on the farm he could never get used to
water through the pipes and wanted
the old fashioned well. 1t has been
charged that one of the Taylor chill
dren had spit in the we'll after FAIRIES
had cleaned it out and purchased
new bucket.
There is a theory that perhaps the
wife of FAIRIES nagged him and wor-
ried him until he became desperate.
She is an invalid, It is said, and
hopeless narcotic and drug addict.
Each time he came home there was
some new story she had to tell about
the quarrels Of the FAIRIES children and
the Taylor children. This theory is
that he stood it as long as he could
and went wild.
1t is said there was q quarrel be-
tween FAIRIES and the elder Taylors the
previous week and the Taylors said,
something about having "a blue steel
and a rife" It is said that remark
caused FAIRIES to go to Gastonia a
short time before the tragedy and pur-
chase shells loaded with buckshot.

Say Good Morning!


1t won't hurt you to say Good Morn
ing"
AS you pass me along the way;

What is hidden down deep in a heart;
Just your cordial, friendly Good

The Price of Eggs.
while eggs are scarce and we think
that the price is pretty high" said one
this morning, 'the price is nothing to
compare with the prices prevailing for
eggs just after the Civil War In this
connection here is a clipping from the
Lancaster News that | think your
readers will find intcresting:"
Mrs. II. II. Porter, who is visiting
her daughter, Mrs. r. A. Long of this
city, says that she sold eggs on the
Charlotte market during the Civil War
at SIS per dozen. This was, Of course,
in Confederate money, and would have
been in normal times only about $3.50
or $500 per dozen. We have heard it
stated also that at one time during the
Confederate war when one wanted to
buy a pair of boots it was necessary to
carry the money in a wheel barrow.
The German mark now is not much

Mail Parcels Early.

proaches we are trying to make ar
rangement for the prompt handling of

Nichols this morning. christmas
packages coming to tho office soon pile
high unless they are quickly dispatch
ed. Early mailing is one way to ia
cilitate quick dispatch Of parcels. Pa
irons of the postoffce are also urged
to wrap parcela well, t. address them
plainly and to put the proper amount
of postage on them. If the parcels are
worth sending they are worth prcpar-

is added and this, if observed, will
save the postmcn much time and trou-
