RECORDOFCUPID
FOR PAST YEAR
December Banner Month-Coloc-
ed Folks Outnunnber Whites
Five To One

An interesting report, showing tho
activities of Dan Cupid during the
year lust closed, comes from the Of
fee of Capt. John A. Cobb, of the
Court of Ordinary.
The Ordinary has compiled for his
Sumter friends a detailed statement
OF what his office did to add to the
connubial bliss Of the world, cspee-
tally in Sumter county. Despite hard
times in other parts Of the country,
the high cost of loving did not let up
in Sumter during the whole year.
December was the most-marrying
month of the year, while the TALBOT
came along in March The report
shows that the colored folks outolass-
ed their white friends more than five
times when it came to getting mar
ried.
Of course, what the divorce courts
may show, is not known at this
time. That is another story.
Licenses issued for both white and
colored couples in each month dur
ing the year are given as follows:
January-White, 5; coIorcd 20. To
tai 33.
February-White 3; colored 80.

civery.
In Europe, England together with
the old neutral nations are making
steady progress in production and di-
minishing unemployment. Their
trade and commerce are Improving;
their governmental finances are grow
ing stronger; their currencies that
are not ALREADY on q gold basis are
steadily approaching par; and their
exchanges are moro stable. The
combatant states in the continent are
slower in recovery. Even these ma
tions, including Russia, have shown
progress all along the line in CONNER
cial, industrial and agricultural
fields, although the harvests suffered
in some spots. Some of these nations
such as italy, Belgium, the Baltic
States, Poland, Czechoslava5ia and
Hungary show increasing political
and social stability and Improvement
III their governmental finances. In
Germany ana some minor states in
southeastern EUROPE governmental
and political difficulties threaten to
overwhelm the commercial and indus
trial recuperation already made.
The continued maintenance of ar
mics on a greater than pre-war basis
IN the cid allied states maintains po-
iitical uncertainty, lowers produc-
tiVity, and rctards the balancing of
budgets with consequent cessation
of direct or indirect initiation. Dis
armament and the constructive set
tlement of German repaations AMI
the economic relations of states in
southeastern Europe are the out
standing problems Of Europe and
their adjustment to some degree will
affect the progress Of the rest Of the
world. The more general realization
during the past year Of the growing
menace of these situations and the
fundamentals that unanrlie their So
luton is in itself some step toward
progress. Their solution would mark
the end of the most acutely destruc-
tive forces in the economic life of the
world which still survive the war.
Economic forecast can not amount
to more than review Of tendencies
and hazard in the future The odds
are favorable for 1923: the world be-
gins the year with greater economic
strength than a year ago; production
and trade are upon a larger and more
substantial basis, with the single ex-
centiOn Of the sore spot in Central
Europe. The healing force of bust
ness and commerce has gained sub
political and social forces. There is
stantial ascendency over destructive
ample reason why should there be con-
t'nued progress during the next
twelve months.

During the year the world gener-

pretty generally purchasing its COM

war.
In our country unemployment has
ceased to be a problem and We are,
indeed, upon an economic level Of
comparatively great comfort in every
direction, except for the lag of Fecoy-

Even in this fol3 there has been 4
distinct improvement in prices in the

and Our imports are again increasing

1.-THE COL EM" AT COLtoEUM TONIGHT

A mystical story of medieval Flu ropo is graphically told in 'The 0olem," a remarkable picture screen cd Hn Europe which comes to the Coliseum tonight Paul Wegener, a distinguished continental actor, au- thor and director, not only directed tha production, but plays the arduous role of the clay monster called 'The Golem."
 i. Out of legendary material MT. Veg ener has constructed a fascinating story laid in Prague, Bohemia. dur ing the 18th century, when Emperor Rudolph had nothing to do but in- dlilgo in pogroms. In order to avert tho menace of exile hanging oyer his people, the chief rabbi creates a huge figure, called tho 'golem," in stilling life and loyalty into it by putting on it's breast star inclosing a magic word.
 After the golcm has saved tho Em- peror and his court from death and so won a reprieve for the jews, the rabbi decides to sendNthe clay giant back into oblivion. But the huge effigy objects. Whether it is be- cause the rabbi has violated the com fnandment against making any graven image or because the rabbis daughter has fallen in love with a Gentile noble, the golem becomes an aveng. frig instrument and nearly burns the town down tn his rage.
 The manner in which little child brings the monster into state of innocuOus dcslietude is charming and simple touch, and one of the many finc points which make this a remarkably imaginative picture.

ASKS STATE AID

Homer S. Cummings, Democratic

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June IS
The aid of the states in enforcing
sary by Homer Cummings. former
chairman of the democratic national
committee, in an address here last
night at a meeting under the auspices
OF the ministerial association, he
said:
IF the various states do not sup
port and supplement the government.
the problem of law enforcement will
become exceedingly difficult.
1T is perfectly manifest that the
United States government cannot
successfully police the entire United
States. There seems to be no doubt
that the federal government is being
loaded down with burdens under
which it is staggering, and that bu-
reaucracy is being built up in Wash
ington which. in time. will know no
master"
Mr.. Cummings said he had been ap-
palled by the ramifications of the
bootlegging industry with it's many
attendant evils, including bribery,
forgery, perjury. political corruption,
theft and murder"
The time has passed for intelligent
nien to contend that the eighteenth
amendment was passed either by
stealth or by inadvertence or i'm
pulsively," he added. 1T was the re-
suit of the growing sentiment of
the country, which has been increaS-
ing in volume for years"
