Local Men Chased
Runaway Freight Cars

w. V. Martin, state industrial Sec
retary, and George Simmons, local
toys' work secretary. of the Y. M. c.
A., went to JonesyillesEst night to at
tend father and son banquet. The
banquet was community affair, and
there were 120 persons present. Short
addresses were made by the pastors
of the Methodist, Baptist and Presby-
terian churches, and Mr.. Simmons
made the principal address of the
evening.
While going to Jonesville, Messrs
Martin and Simmons had occasion to
pass Pacolet. They noticed that about
ten or twelve cars of freight train
which was shifting at Pacolet had
gotten away and were going toward
;onesville, unattended. They speeded
up their car, but the runaway freight
cars beat them until the grade near
the limits of j. esville was reached
There they caught up with the cars
and Mr.. Simmons got out and climbed
TO the top Of one of the cars and put
on brakes and stopped the runaway
cars. Soon the engine came up and
took the runaways back to Pacolet.
1t was not until the passenger train
was due, and Messrs. Martin and Sim
mons felt that it was necessary to do
something before the cars met the
passenger train for the results might
have been serious. Spartanburg

Richest County in
The United States

Lancaster, Pennsylvania is the
richest county for it's size In the Unit
ed States. Latest estimates place its
agricultural and dairy products at
fifty million of dollars for the year
1920, according to NJ. M. Carter in an
article in the FEBRUARY 1921 issue
of the Ladies' Home Journal. Ger
tainly tidy sum to be divided among
the farmers. Consider these facts a
minute and leave them quietly rest
ing as back ground while we go on
with the story.
To make little money and stay
at home at the same time-there lies
the crux of the problem for millions
of mothers to day. Basketeering
solves that problem for the women of
Lancaster County. Hundreds, if not
thousands of Lancaster County wo-
men are today ava;ling themselves of
this opportunity instead of working
in factories or stores or stripping
tobacco. Club Markets solve the prob
lem for the women of South Carolina.
Twenty three have been established
III different parts Of the state.
Already our state boasts four coun-
ties in the list of fifty richest agricul-
tural counties in the United States.
When our markets are fully developed
who can foretell what the result will
be? AS we we'll realize that besides
Icing gainful occupation, the club
market is liberal education, prac-
teal training, means of self express
sion through creative work and sales
manship, a money maker and game
al combined, in which you can start
on next to nothing capitalization. If
the Club Market could be spread a
local to nationwide cult. it would be
cne Of the biggest things that
ever happened to the United States.

Increase in Teachers Pay

Berea, KY, Feb. 3<.--Incrsass in
the maximum salary of $4,000 a year
paid 10 full professors and in the pay
of assistant professors and teachers,
and the meeting of immediate needs
Of the institution and pupils, are the
aims Of a campaign now under way
to raise $1,000,0OO for Bereal college,
an institution founded solely for the
education of american Highlanders"
from the southern. states. The fund
known as "Berea College Necessity
Fund" is being raised under the direc-
lion of officials and alumni of the in.
stition with the advice of an advisory
board consisting of notable men and
women from all parts of the United
States.
Berea was founded in 1855 for the
purpose of providing education for
mountaineers of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Ala
bama and North and South Carolina.
II has never charged students any tut
ton and even in the present days of
high prices board is provided for stu
dents at $2.75 week and it is said
that students can live att he college
for nine months for $3.50 of which it
is possible for him to earn $50 by
working ten hours week on the col
lege farm. Twenty per cent Of the
students earn all Of their expenses
during the year and another 20 per
cent use summer earnings for school
expenses. Fifty-seven per cent of the
remainder are partly self-sustaining.
There were 1854 students in Berea
College last year.
Berea provides training of all
kinds. The mountain boy or girl can
come to the school and learning farm
ing, nursing, woodworking, and, in
fact, anything that is of use in normal
life. The college department trains
teachers who expect to work in noun
tain schools.
According to Marshall E. Vaughn,
secretary Of the college, Berea has
been financed during the past % years
entirely by the personal solicitation Of
funds by former President William
Goodell Frost and one or two associ-
ates. During that time forty-gve rev
buildings have been added and tn
student body increased from 354 t,
2675 and the number of workers and
teachers from % to 143. The cost
of educating each student is $114 50
year more than he pays and t,is

American Consular Bulletin

Washington, Feb. 24.-Details of
low the 457 American consuls now
III the service of the States Depart
ment are gathering information, ex-
tending protection, enforcing Ameri-
can laws and eXerting American in
fluence' in more than 400 cities of so
countries are set forth by Wilburn j.
Carr, director of the consular service
in the first issue Of the American
Consular Bulletin, monthly publish
ed by the American Consular Asso-
citation, an unofficial and voluntary or
ganization embracing most of the
members of the consular service in
the United States.
There is probably NO class of of
fcers of the Government whose func-
tions are less correctly understood
by the public than consuls," says Di-
rector Carr. "To one man consul
is merely visaer of passports, to an
other the word consul signifies a
forified travelling salesman charged
with the marketing of American goods
in foreign lands. Many mother
knows the consul only as a good and
kind friend in faw away land who
found and sent her wayward son back
to the old home, in the United States
at would hardly occur to any of
these individuals that their ontact had
been with an organization of trained
officers. an organization employing
$500 men and women, costing about
sl,500,O00 annually and returning to
the treasury Of the United States in
the year 1921 the sum of $8,5OO,OOO.
thus showing a net profit to the Gov
ernment for that year of more than
Sl.000.O00. Neither would it occur
to them that the members of that or
ganization were serving daily ten de-
partments and numerous independent
establishments of the Government in
Washington and, through them or di.
rectly, many thousands of individual
citizens throughout the country"
In support of that statement, Direc-
tor Carr recites how American con-
Suls handled 48,078 cases involving the
protection and welfare of nationals
of the United States abroad in 1921.
The many cases of protection and
relief" he adds. ranged from finding
lost relatives and shielding we'll
meaning bat indiscreet American
travellers from the legal consequences
of their rash acts, to rescuing INDECENT
relatives from starvation and death"
That the consul was a great letter
writer last year was shown by the
figures on correspondence. In the
twelve month period ending June 80,
last, consuls abroad received 756, 1924
letters and sent out 81, ,89l. Between
times they handled 546,230 consular
invoices, visaed passports for 657 1868
aliens and 150,117 Americans and
checked the arrival and departure of
81 1898 American vessels.
In connection with their passport
work, Director Carr asserts consuls
discovered many frauds, gangs of
crooks manufacturing and selling
fraudulent passports were broken up
in many places in Europe and count
erfeit passports, cleverly copied
rubber stamps for visas, counterfeit
fee stamps and seals-al wero found
and destroyed and the practices stop
