on the same system. Conditional sales
have become such an established part
OF our economic life-or maybe our
"uneconomicaI' life-that a large
percentage of virtually all retail busi-
ness is conducted that way.
The success of the conditional sales
system in the United States is one
of the factors responsible for move

will create an interest and perhaps
lead to proper legislation that would
permit conditional sales in our for
eign trade with Latin American re-
publics. IT such a volume of retail
business is transacted on the part

the United States. why cannot it be
made to apply to wholesale exchange

United States and Latin America?
Standard Sales Act Drafted.
The United States section of the
inter-American high commission,
under the direction of Secretary
Hoover and it's secretary, DR.. Leo S.
Rowe, director general of the Pan
American Union, is about to take a
step which may be the beginning of
!, a new departure in foreign trade.
The uniform conditional sales act.
which was prepared by the commission
on uniform state laws. and which has
been adopted by more than dozen
states in the last year or SO. has
been translated by DIR. G. 8. Sher-
well. juristic expert of the American
section, and prepared for the use of
all the other sections of the inter-
American high commission in Latin
America. This uniform conditional
sales act will undoubtedly be adopted
within the next few years by all the
states and thus become the standard
for this country under which all
business involving conditional sales
will be conducted.
Time Necessary Factor.
Nothing in the immediate future in
the way of definite action on the part

.{pected. South American business men
are not expected 10 begin imme-
y diately the purchase OF American
goods on the installment plan. But

Plan to Take the ''Pork'' Out
OF Shore Naval Administration

the enlistments have fallen Of from
the interior states, and tn" great ma
jority of them are said to come from
the men of the coast states. MIR. Nc
Cormick is inclined to attribute this
to the fact that administration of the
Navy Department has seen fit to send
the men for training to. stations at
Norfolk, Va. and Newport, r. l. Per
haps Senator Mccormick himself is
not uninf1uenced by a desire to see
the naval station maintained on a
large scale on the great lakes. Eut
no matter what the moti-e may be
behind the action. the shore manage
ment of the Navy is likely to be gone
over very carefully in The near fu-
ture.
Three Hundred Naval
Stations Ashore.
A few days ago Mr.. Mccormick had
inserted in the Congressional Record
a list of all the shore stations of the
Navy, a list SO formidable IN its pro-
portions as to be almost staggering
to the average citizen. Air stations,
ammunition depots, marine barracks.
naval bases. naval districts, naval
hospitals. navy yards. radio stations,
and, in fact. every kind of station
with which the Navy has TO DO is in
cluded in the list, which contains
some 900 stations.
The contention of Senator McCor-
mick and others is that there is
waste in maintaining SO many shore
stations; that many of these stations
could be consolidated and others
abandoned with a great saving to the
government. And the joint commit
tee. if it is provided for by Congr ess.
will be urged to report on that phase
of the matter

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROADS.

Pursuant to recommendation of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads paral-
lei with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows in the
roads. 1t is against the law to al
low plows to damage the roads,
and it is an unnecessary prac-
tice. The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to prosecute anybody, Dur
I must insist that this practice be
stopped Immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re-
spect, and there should be no neces-
sity to bring action against anybody.
Full notice is being given before I
take such action.

All the neighbors wondered how
Abner Allen and his wife got along.
She was generally conceded to be a
cantankerous sort, but so far as any
one knew, Abner had never been
heard to utter a complaint. Then
Abner died and Hezekiah Billings
felt at liberty to tell the story.

THEATRICALS AND DANCING.
Evangelist Billy Sunday Says What
He Thinks About Them.

Evangelist Billy Sunday, who is
holding revival in Spartanburg, has
spoken out concerning the theatre
and dancing. In his characteristic
style he gave his views on these mat
ters in a recent sermon. Seven THOU
sand persons heard the sermon, says
a staff correspondent of the Green
vile News, which continues:
The sermon, which might be term
ed more correctly a moral lecture,
was profusely punctuated with ap-
plaase, at one time eliminating in a
cry of ''harrah for Billy"
Theatres, card playing and dancing
came in for the greater part of Mr..
Sundays vigorous attack, the evan
gelist declaring that these three were
a greater enemy of the church than
the saloon ever was.
While Mr.. Sunday was filled with
vim, vigor and tabasco sauce, to make
use of one of his own expressions, he
concluded with an attack on dancing
that was masterful effort. He said
in his opinion dancing is simply hug
ging set to music" and he warned
the women and girls who engage III
dancing that they were helping to
pull some young man down by their
conduct as we'll as running a great
risk themselves. He said that of the

States today more than three-fourths

no way Of ascertaining how many
men have gone hellward because Of
the dance.
The latest dance, Mr.. Sunday said,
is the "boll weevil wiggle,' and this
statement brought forth prolonged
laughter. Previous to that Mr.. Sun
day described many of the modern
dances, initiating them in his own
characteristic manner and naming
some of them the bunny hug, the
half Nelson" the toe hold" etc.
He concluded by saying that "a
man mas to get mighty old before he
won't enjoy a good hug" Many things
are tolerated on the floor of the dance
hall which would not be tolerated for
a moment in any other place in So
ciety.
Mr.. Sunday said that the only pos
sible way he would favor dancing
would be for laws to forbid children
to dance after becoming II years of
age. Some persons ask me if it is
any harm for a man to dance with
his wife? Whoever heard of man
wanting to dance with his own wife?
They would just as soon go out here
and pick cotton all night in the moon
shine as to dance with their wife"
In discussing card playing, Mr..
Sunday drew forth considerable ap-
plause by declaring that "the best
people do not play cards." He scor-
ed warmly church people particular
ly who sneer at those who do not
know how to play cards and thereby
encourage them to take the first step
towards ruin.
Touching on the pool and billiard
parlors Mr.. Sunday said: IF boy
hangs around a pool room regularly
it is about a 100 to l shot that he is
gone"
Dealing with theatres at the out
set of his sermon, Mr.. Sunday said
that if the LEG shows were taken
off the roads many of the companies
would go bankrupt. Yet the public
is to blame for this condition of af-
fairs, he declared, by patronizing pic
lures and plays of questionable char
acter. He also raped at the lives
of actors and actresses, saying that
the percentage of divorces among
them was higher than among any
other profession.
Some of the high spots of the SER
mon last night we're:
The treatre was originally intend
ed as the hand-maiden of the church.
Today they have nothing in common.
The church gives 20 uwhat you need.
The church gives you what you need.
Sex plays give me the stomach
ache" Mr.. Sunday declared, "and yet
the sexual appeal is about all some
plays and pictures contain"
A leading actress recently said the
conditions behind the footlights were
deplorable. Keep in mind two
things in seeing the show: The char
acter of the show and the character
of the people.
81 believe that 80 per cent. OF the
plays of today are demoralizing to
the public morals :
Cards were originated to please
an idiotic king. Bridge whist is just
poker BY new name.
"There has never been pack Of
cards under my roof If my children
learn to gamble it will not be at

"Girls, don't beg fellow to play
cards or dance if he doesn't know
how. A fellow can resist most any
kind of temptation like man, but
let it come from girl with soft, dove

together like he had the ague.

MERITED COMPLIMENT TO NOT
ED EDUCATOR

The May issue of the southern
School Journal contains very COM
plimentary sketch of McHenry
Rhoads, State inspector of high
schools, saying in part: "This time,
it seems the Office is going a-seeking
the man; or at least that the two
political parties in Kentucky are 60
ing to be very careful in their
choice of educational standard bear
ers. During X. E. A. there was heard
seemingly spontaneous expression
of choice among the Democratic
school folk there assembled, for NC
Henry Rhodes to stand for nomina
ton at the hands of his party. This
was met at every corner; talked OF
by folk who seemed to have just
thought of it, but to be increasing
in enthusiasm as they held the idea.
Not strange, either; McHenry
Rhoads has lived and labored for
better schools for long time, and
has been true to his trust and to his
friends at all times"
