Our children sang just before dinner to a large crowd, and we all had a good time. Saturday night we gave our program at the school auditorium in Lowell. Bro. J. J.

Waldrop, pastor of the Baptist church, came out 'and explained that his B. Y. P. U. had an ice cream supper at the parsonage, and that he was sorry that it conflicted with our program.

He insisted that we stay over and that the Superintendent preach for him Sunday morning. This we did. After our program we went over to the parsonage where we found a real park of five acres, alive with young pccnle ajid larger children as happy as could be, playing their games. We ii sod our critical eve to the best of our ability. We found every sme of the highest, ordor.

This addition is being fitted with all modern conveniences and, owing to the fact that a large number of tourists, en route to Highlands and other places in the mountains, find that Walhalla is a good terminal and stop here for at least one day, this addition is especially needed. Mr. Alexander hopes to have this work completed by July 15th.

The catalogue-houses are but udriot, inasmuch as their lurid pub licity borders on false yet keens within the pale Of thu law. Merchunts of this community do not stoop to fraudulent means to get your business. Theirs is a fairer way of an open dif-play of the goods and honest, cleanly advertising. From a logical standpoint there isn't any argument that favors the patronage of a mail-order-house, because whole Fystem is founded on hum-buggery nnd human credulity, and pulling power of clever misrep resentation. Mail order purchasing is simply a musculation.

Home-buying it an in vestment-Conservative people do not speculate. want ample return for their money, tit is this class that keeps the local stores go and it's the speculative class that keeDS the mnil-order-hoises go ing. There is no rtability'or profit the investment of catalogue buy-erp, because they are not careful and reckon not on a substantial return for every penny of their outlay. You can't properly indulge in the sentiment of home-building if you practice disloyalty to your town. And you are disloyal to it, if you send your money to the Octopus.

For merchandise that is better and just as cheap is on sale at the stores the town merchants.

We have ulwnys advocated higher education, where it is. possible to be hud, and we know that the graduates of Winthrop College are among the best educated, women in tho country, but we can seo no reason in, requiring of thoee who enter the institution to have' a finished knowledge of the arts and sciences.

Perhaps this requirement! is made in order that the faculty of tha institution may have an easy time in instructing them while they are students there. We have ho idea that, a strict grading of these -examination papers are required, because if that should be the Winthrop College students would be fewand far between. RESTS ON PATRONAGE. It probably has happened to you Your father "whipped" you and then told you that "this hurts me worse than it does you, son." So, in "whipping" you we want to say that we feel the same as your father did. Mavbe.

this "whipping" isn't in tended for you it's aimed at folks who mistakingly patronize the Mail Order Octopus. It's for the men nnd women who turn down local merchants in the futile quest of getting greater value than their money represents. For vears, your merchants have been telling you about their goods. This has been done slowly and ser ially, newspaper advertising, in a nlain. homely, matter-of-face way, but aggressively and persistent ly and regularly and frequently.

Into- this advertising they have thrown the benefit of their marketing experience, an experience based op the merchandise needs of, the town, which they have gained through the years in which they have been in business here. The whole fabric of their estab lishment rests on the patronage that vou give them. Knowing this, they have gone into the market, carefully considering your individual wants and your family requirements and closed contracts to receive and pay for merchandise that they think you will buy as necessity arises. The fact that you do buy from the Octopus is a great disappointment to them. They know that you have sent money out of town and that to the home town it is forever lost.

They also know that on their shelves are goods far superior in quality to those you sent away for, and that in the end would have been a far better investment. And so, indefinitely and endlessly, cross-purposes between you and the local merchants will continue as long as you let yourself be hoaxed by the catalogue houses. The business man steadfastly serves you with honest merchandise at a legitimate profit, most of which is spent in the community. The mail-order-pirate serves you with inferior merchandise and waxes rich on his sales. His earnings are spert in a far distant community.

"At the pres ent rato it will take about seventeen yearn to vote on the Senate amend ments to the tariff -bill. Of course, everyone knows that when the senators have all made the necessary number of political speeches for or against the tariff, and especially those who are coming, up for re-election thin fall, interest in the two thousand and one remaining amendments will disappear and they will be rushed through as fast as the clerks can call the roll.

"During the course of the debate on Tuesday Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, intimated that the farm bloc, which has not been particularly active since Mr. Kenyon'B resignation, would see to it that an honest tariff bill whs passed. Senator Stanley, of asked the Arizona senator, What is an honest tariff to which Mr. Ashurst retorted by asking if he would vote for it if it were an honest tariff bill. 'I will say to the Mr.

Stanley replied, 'that when God makes two hills without a hollow, when he makes night without dav, when he makes the sun without heat, the Old Guard will write a tariff bill that is "All of which leads to the question. What is an honest tariff It Is to be-noted that no one in the Senate arose to declnre that the Fordney-Mc-Cumbcr bill was an honest tariff bill, no one with a grain of common sense regards the Emergence Tariff as honest, no one ever thought the Un derwood bill, was any more honest than the Payne-Aldrich bill, which was no more honest than the McKinley bill or the Wilson bill. Senator Stan ley was correct when he said the Old Guard could not write an honest tanii bill, but he told only half the truth, for neither could the Democrats, and it is equally certain that if the farm bloc had the matter in charge tney woald have no better success except perhaps that it might be a little less dishonest than some of the others. "It means that it is practically im possible under the present system to write an honest tariff bill. Special interests are bound to crowd their way in.

When the Finance Committee of the Senate offers more than two thousand amendments to the bill as submitted by the House it means the House action on the bill is merely i a matter form to comply with that provision of the Constitution which requires that revenue bills shall orig inate in the House of Representatives The tariff bill, therefore is practically written by the Finance Committee of the Senate. The Senate itself goes through the farce of debating the tariff, as it is doing now, making but few alterations from the text as sub mitted by the Finance Committee When it reaches conference for the purpose of reconciling differences with the House bill, a few more changes are made, chiefly splitting the differ ence, but with hundreds of items go ing through in their original form because it is too much of a proposition to consider them carefully. It means therefore that many items have been inserted or altered in accordance with influence brought to bear either upon the Ways and Means Committee of the House or the Finance Committee of the Senate, and always to the ad vantage of those desiring the changes made. "There is, of course, only one way that this condition can be remedied and even an approximately honest tariff bill written, that being to dele gate rate making to a tariff commis sion, just as the railroad rate-making power is delegated to the Interstate Commerce Commission. It will not then be a matter of the political for tunes of Senator This or Senator That, but it will be that rates will be made on the basis of the welfare of the public at large.

That must of necessity include a reasonable profit for manu facturers and importers, but not an excessive profit. There will be no such thing, for instance, as placing an enormous duty on linen when there is. practically jio linen made in this country. Tariff making will become a scientific study instead of a political football. It seems a long way off, yet the people are beginning to think along such constructive lines, and they may suddenly demand it." THE WINTHROP EXAMINATION.

Through the courtesy of Professor W. C. McArthur, County Superintendent of Education, we were permitted to inspect the examination questions which were submitted to the applicants at the Court House last Friday and Saturday. After examining the papers carefully, we have concluded that there are about two men in th? town of Gaffney, and no women at all. who could successfully meet the test which Winthrop has set for those who wish to acquire scholarships in the institution.

Any young woman who could make a respectable mark on thi examination does not need any further instruction as she is most excellently well equipped to hold her own with E4. M. DC, Editor Pbtlr Offic Pbos N. 187 S. C.

The GufVnoy I.etlirer, in pursuance of plans lonu contemplatc.l, is preparing a mammoth odition to be pub-lished in the latter part of July, to be known as its national publicity number.

It has in mind ah addition of some fifty pares with an extra circulation of many thousands, at least 1,500 of which will be sent to Chambers of Commerce throuRh the United States. Besides this, selected lists are lipin-r nrenared by competent authori ty to reach the industrial interests of our country. This addition will also reach the farminar classes within the marketing distance of Gaffney, their proper and legitimate trading point. There will be write-ups ol uanney, il lustrated, touching upon every phase of its industrial, educational, financial and historical aspects. The unique advantages of this city as a residence nlace.

as a manufacturing point and as a wholesale and retaiP trading center will be fully exploited and set forth. Situated in the midst of exhaustible cotton fields, our nearness to world reknown truck farms, our railroad transportation facilities, our proxmity to raw materials of every description. We will also touch upon the fact that Gaffney is an educational center of such great importance that it is hardly realized by some of the inhabitants within our own city. These will be emphasized in such manner as to compel attention. When we say that Gaffney is at a critical stage of her over memorable history, we do not mean to much any independent trade or -financial prices as we do that she is at the parting of the waves.

She must determine and decide this good year of 1922, as tc whether she is to remain the stag gering and stationary small town or whether she is to assume her proper rank among the progressive cities; In fact the most progressive cities of the United States. A good omen is al ready apparent in the fact that Gaffney has paved many streets and alleys within its bounds. Nature has been prolific in her magnificent endowment, But nature is enert matter; it remains for the land of man to make opportu nity fluid and sweeping in its onwarci flow of accomplishments. We have everything at our door that enterprise and ambition could ask. It needs but an indominable spirit on our own part to sieze it and create the wealth that is rightfully ours.

The one thing that Gaffney lacks at the present is intelligent publicity. We do not need to exaggerate or paint with the colors of the rose. A sober, conservative statement of actualities as they exist here and now is sufficient to attract capital and population as never before. A country lies to the south of us, to the east of us, to th; west of us, to the north of us on all sides of us that is blessed with a climate and soil unsurpassed in the world. This now dormant territory crying for means of transportation a hundred miles of it with thousands upon thousands of ideal and fallow acres.

It lacks only the energies of our fellow citizens to pour its riches into the laps of Gaffney. Think of the thousands of people in this day ajid this age dwelling along our high ways and in our country from forty to sixty miles from a railroad, living in an enforced idleness because we here in Gaffney, have been asleep to our almost inestimable privileges in extending to them a' helping hand. The Gaffney Ledger has resolved to start the procession by its mammoth National Publicity edition, which will certainly advertise our city as it has never been advertised before. Our representatives will soon be active among the business interests of the city, who will explain in more detail the plan for publicity. The edition will be the largest and handsomest ever put forth in the South.

We need only the support and co-operation of the citizenship in whose interests the Gaffney Ledger is laboring. One of our worthy citizens brought back a healthful and inspiring slogan from the great city by the lakes, not long tmce. We have adopted it for our own. It is "Do it and do it now."
