They have jsast cete&cafeed IlSOtfe
anniversary of the fea£tle of Tort
Moultrie at Charleston. There 'would
have been no such victory to cele
brate if it had not keen for the ibattlc
at Moore’s Creek Bridge, and it is
doubtful if there vroulld have been
any declaration of independence on
July 4, 1776, if it lsad .not been for
the' victory at Moore’s Creek Bridge,
since the success of the Highlanders;
there and the subsequent .junction with;
Sir Henry Clinton’s force at Wil
mington, as planned, would have al
most assuredly resulted in the ovei’-j
running of North Carolina and. the,
cutting off of all aid from South
Carolina and Georgia- Moore’s Creek
Bridge is not listed saanong Creasy’s
Fifteen Decisive Ba&Les but it might j
have been the sixteenth, as well as
Saratoga one of the fifteen.
There is more booze in Wilmington
than in many a day. A cargo valued
at $300,000 was capturaS mear Beau
fort a few days ago asid carried to
Wilmington. The booze vessel was
camouflaged as a light-htau&e tender,
but the “dry navy” wasn’t fooled.
The wfoafe crew is in jail
Again the name of A. M. Scales’ is
mentioned as a possible opponent of
O. Max Gardner’s for the JJhimocratic
nomination for the governorship. The
Record is willing; Gardner is not the
only pebble on the political '(bench.
An attempt is being made to save
Mansel from the electric chair. He
is the negro condemned to die for an
alleged assault upon an Asheville
white woman, and the fellow whom a
mob tried to take from the Asheville
jail, some of the members paying
for their rashness with long terirvs in
the penitentiary, Mansel’s attorney
is about to prove a complete alibi for
the condemned man. More than four
thousand have signed a petition to
save him from the chair, and, Gov
ernor McLean has the matter under,
advisement at this writing. If the;
man is really innocent he should be:
given his freedom, not merely a
swap of the chair for a life sentence
in the penitentiary.

’They Tell the World
(The Chapel Kill Weekly)
: -Freni time to time 1 have, reg
; .tstered my dislike for certain
; words. Behind such dislike, 1
; .admit, there is little of logic or
• mason. It is just a matter of
■ taste. One word which is begin
j rung to irk me sorely is “out
| .standing,” in The sense of promi
nent, or .distinguished. Over a
■photograph .in ; a Sunday news-
Ijpaper I.see .the title, ‘‘Some out
j standing brides of the . past
! week.” There.are many adjec
tives that seem fitting for brides
I —-pretty, winning, blushing,
charming, lovely. But “out
standing”—no, it won’t do. The
headline .writers ought to save it
for skyscrapers, ..gas tanks, and
captains of industry.
| A .message from Rome says
that the Fascist! .have .intro
duced a “yell” of the kind prac
ticed .in American colleges. The
sound that corresponds to our
rah-.rah-.rah is “Ayeeah-arla-ia/'
“the first three syllables being
done very quickly and throatily
by a .cheer leader,” while the
crowd, as a single man, barks
out the “a-la-la.” The cheer
closes with: “Long Live Musso
lini.” I Lave been hearing of
the Americanisation of Europe
but never imagined the calam
ity would be carried to such a
length as this. However, since,
the Italians apparently welcome
the plague, I wish that our A
merican government, as a mark
of international amity, would
gather all the native-born cheer
leaders together upon one boat
and send them over for an in
definitely prolonged term oi
service under Mussolini.
To the symposium published
three or four years ago, “Civili
zation in the United States,” -
Van Wyck Brooks contributed
the chapter on the literary life. ;
“The chronic state of our lit
erature,” he wrote, “is that of a
youthful promise which is never
redeemed,” and he dwelled upon |
the American writing man’s low j
estate and his apologetic atti
tude toward his own profession.
“Have we failed to recognize?”
j asked Mr. Brooks, “in the surly
contempt with which the author
; ;>f ‘The Story of a Country Town’
j habitually speaks of writers and
writing, the unconscious cry of
| sour grapes of a man whose cre
j ative life was arrested in
:youth”?
But perhaps, after all, the de-
I rogatory remarks that some
writers make now and then a
bout their own fraternity is
merely a reaction against the
over-importance that most writ
ers seem to attach to their oc
cupation. In his syndicated
piece last Sunday 11. L. Menc
ken—whom I don’t believe any
body will accuse of being af
flicted with the taste of sour
grapes—wrote: “An author k
simply a man in whom the nor
mal vanity of all men is so vast
ly exaggerated that he finds it
a sheer impossibility to hold it
in. His overpowering impulse is
to gyrate before his fellow men.
flapping his wings and emitting
defiant yells. This being forbid
den by the police of all civilized
countries, he takes it out by
putting his yells on paper. Such
is the thing called self-expres
sion.”
! Discount the characteristic
boldness and exaggeration—•
which are not to be deplored,
since they account for so much
of the interest in this man’s
writing—and yet one must ad
mit that there is more than a
grain of truth in his theme.
Writing men—authors, essay
’sts, editors, and particularly
critics-—overestimate to a ridi
culous degree the significance of
the part they play in the room

Sickness Gone
Like many other folks thereabouts,
Mrs. Wolcott was a picture of misery.
She says: “I was ghastly white as cot
ton, all thinned out, bilious all the
time, terrible headaches, bones creak
ed as if they would snap apart, ached
all over, could hardly walk or lift an
arm; had been taking calomel stead
ily, and it made me so deathly sick
I was completely discouraged. Then
one day my cousin who lives near the
state line came on a visit and she
had a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone.
My! what a change. It gave me new
courage. We sent to town for two
bottles, and since then my face is
filled out, with a ruddy glow! Gained
over twenty pounds and am the pic
ture of health. Whenever I feel bil
ious or constipated 1 take $ dose of
Dodson’s Liver Tone and it works just
fine.”
