For real good advice to younger
business men think the following let
ter that was sent me the other day is
the best that could e offered: IA man
who would be successful in business
must ever treat the public us his

should be carefully considered is the
folly Of trying to belittle a competitor.
To knock man engaged In the same

PRESCRIPTION FOR LONG LIFE
According to This German Physician,
II Is Easy to Add to Ones Years
Of Usefulness.

The gathering of centenarlans which
took place the other day recalled the
case of the eminent German physician,
Doctor Fiscllweiler, who died recently
at the age. of one hundred and nine.
He often declared that he possessed
an infallible rule for securing longev.
ity, which he would reveal to the
world in his will. Upon his death,
then, this formula was disclosed:
"Put your bed, orienting it by means
Of a compass, so that you will have
your head placed north, and lie in q
horizontal position. Sleep solidly with
closed fists"
This is the whole secret. This posi-
.tion, it is asserted, brings the body ir

Liberal use of paint Is the next step
In keeping machinery In the best con-

freed from dirt and grease. Then
paint the wood with a good grade Of

All metal parts, except those creased,
must be well covered with the best

steel parts.
e Note Parts Needing Repairs.
When the cleaning, greasing and
painting is being done, one can also
make note of each broken or worn
part that needs to be replaced. These
can besecured during the winter, and
when the spring and summer work
calls for the various implements, they
will be ready for duty. How much

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
SOUTHERN RY. SYSTEM

Washington, May 49, That 1t
may continue adequately to "Serve
the South" Southern Railway Sys-
tenn has recently placed orders for
new equipment consisting Of 20 loco
motives, $500 freight cars Of steel
construction, 500 automobile cars of
steel construction, 100 steel passen-
ger cars, and $50 caboose cars of
steel underframe construction.
The magnitude of the order can
better be appreciated when it is
realized that if it were possible to
place the freight car equipment in
one train it would be At miles from
the engine to the caboose. If broken
up into trains of an average length
it would comprise $50 freight trains,
or one train every 1-2 miles from
Washington to Atlanta.
The new passenger cars if coupled
into one train, would be mile and a
half in length from the engine to the
rear coach and represent 20 trains
of the average length. The coaches
are of the latest design and are of
all steel construction.
In placing this large order for
new equipment, which will be de-
livered in time for the fall business,
the Southern has demonstrated its
faith in the return of business pros
perity in the South and this will
place the Southern in position to
handle with safety and dispatch this
increased business.

FOR CHILE AND PERU
Some Progress Made at Washington
Conference

Washington, May 1s.-Continued
confidence that the Chilean-Peruvian
conference here will meet success
fully it's paramount issue, involving
validity of the Tacna-Arica clause of
the treaty Of Ancon, was expressed
on both sides today after the two
delegations again had talked over
their differences behind closed doors.
Just what occurred at the meet
ing was kept in closest confidence,
an official communique issued by the
two groups of delegates saying mere
ly that the conversation had pro-
ceeded amicably and that "some pro-
gress" had resulted. That some i'm
portant move had taken place, how
ever, was indicated by a succeeding
exchange of cablegrams with home
governments and by a decision not
to meet again until Friday.

NOT cRITlcIsING. THE JUDGE.

We suppose newspaper ought to
take it for granted that whatever a
court decides is right. is certain
ly not good citizenship to do or say
or write anything that tends to les
sen the confidence the people have in
the wisdom and learning of judges.
And so The Observer accepts with
patience, and we hope with profit the
comment of The Press and Banner
upon The Observers statement in a
recent issue that Judge Smiths de-
cision that the telephone rates pro-
vided for in the Foster act are "con-
fiscatory." It occurred to US that
whether the rates were "confsca-
tory" as the telephone company
charged, or not was a question for
a jury, and that questions of fact, as
this was, ought to go before a jury,
even in equity cases. 1t seems from
the comment of The Press and Ban
ner that the state can carry the case
on-in some way or other not stated
and not known to laymen. but known
to lawyers-and the old rates pre-.
vailing up to December 1921 may
yet be restored, if the state can
make a proper showing.-Newberry

BAPTISTS UNCERTAIN
AS TO NEW SCHOOL

Chester, May 18.--As the result
of a conference held here between
DR.. Charles A. Jones of Columbia
and DR.. E. S. Reaves of Union, rep
resenting the Baptist education
board of South Carolina, and a com
mittee of Chester citizens including
the Rev. Robert G. Lee, Ph. D. pas
tor of the First Baptist church, I. H.
White, George R. Dawson and H. B.
Branch, it looks as if the establish
ment of the proposed boys high
school or secondary college, which
was awarded Chester something
more than a year ago, is more re-
mote and hazy than ever and pos
sibly lost to Chester altogether. DR..
Jones, who is secretary Of the board
said there is an opportunity to ac-
quire the Spartan academy and con-
vert it into the kind of school that it
was proposed to establish here; but
if the Spartan academy is taken
over and enlarged, there would be
no need of another school Of the
same character in Chester. DR.. Jones
went on to say, however, that while
the board has no funds available at
present, if Chester desires to 60
ahead ON the proposition the board
would stand to it's agreement. In
view of the financial conditions now
existing the Chester committee was
able to give no assurance Of any
thing for the present, and there the
matter stands.

THE COURT.

The Press and Banner believes that
the decisions of the court on mat
ters committed to it and of which it
has jurisdiction are entitled to the
highest respect. What the court de-
cides on a subject rightly before the
court is the law of the case until it
is reversed and the courts decisions
are entitled to respect as such.
But when the court or a judge
goes outside to take a lick at legis-
lation (and the court and judge de
eide questions of law and have moth
ing to do with making laws) neither
is entitled to respect because it is
unbecoming in a judge to criticise
a law he is sworn to enforce. The
declarations made on political ques-
tions by judge may be taken just
as the declarations Of any other
partisan. In that way we should
construe the statement of Justice
Clark of the United States Supreme
Court when he declared in his ad-
dress at the annual dinner of the
New York Law School:
"The Eighteenth amendment re-
quired millions of men and women
to abruptly give up habits and GUS
tons of life which they thought not
immoral or wrong, but which, on
the contrary, they believed to be
necessary to their reasonable COM
fort and happiness, and thereby, as
we all now see, respect not only for
that law, but for all law, has been
put to an unprecedented and demor-
alizing strain in our country, the end
of which it is difficult to see."
The Justice was evidently thirsty.
Or was he extending an implied in
vitation to his hosts to pass some
thing around? We have never heard
that Justice Clark had any other ac-
complishment to his credit which en-
titled him to the appointment to the
highest judicial seat in the world
except that he was "a great demo-
cratic orator"
Mr.. Wilson thought so little of
lawyers and of their accomplish
ments that perhaps he believed it
was not necessary that justice of
the Supreme Court be lawyer.
But perhaps Justice Clark will
measure up with MIR. Wilson's other
appointments to the Supreme Court
when all questions are considered.
