Humorist Sets Up Monument to Eve,
"A Distant Relative on Mothers Side"

with incredulous horror says Mr..
CULLEN in the current issue of the
Fountain Inn Tribune, his paper.
I'm sorry" he adds. Il never hurt
anybody's feelings or offended against
anybody's pet superstitions. This is
purely a family affair. Eve was a
fair and charming lady and deserved a
finer monument than 1 have provided
for her. 1t is almost incredible that
after over 5000 years of history none
of her kinsmen have erected a stone
to her memory"
The author further explains that
Eve was a distant relative of mine,
on my mothers side; that she was
tho first lady of the land" reign.
ing belle of her day" and that the
monument ''is an effort to atone for
the objectionable neglect Of her by her
DoSterity"

THE MAN WHO DOESN'T
 PAY HIS BILLS

If looks as if times are to be hard for the person who fails to pay his bills for no other reason than that it Is cheaper not to do so. Astound- ing as it may seem, there arc some such in every community, which ac- counts for the desire of the mercan- tile interests of the city to stabilize the situation through credit bureau, which would possess tho function of listing citizens as to the promptness with which they meet their bills. Such system would harm no honest person and enforce honesty where it is not considered seriously.
 An extension of credit is a favor. compliment The person who fails to pay up" within reasonable time, or according to agreement after contracting a credit account i' not only violating his obligation ana inconvcniencing the merchant, but is giving offense to the person ol firm which extended the favor.
 "Dead beats'' not only occasion monetary losses to merchants. bu alsd increase the cost of doing busi ness. This cost invariably is paid b, those who are more punctlllou about their pigments, and it cal scarcely be otherwise if the mer chant is to remain in business. Ther is no justice in a method by whlc the person who pays his bills help pay those that arc not paid. ; credit bureau will obviate this nc cessity.
