Bible . . . apd It's verejons
The discovery m a school .on Staten
Island of a copy of the rare "Breech
es Bible,'' printed at, Geneva in the
year 1560, has revived interest in
the various versions of the English
Bible. This particnler version gets its
name because it says that Adam ana
Eve made themselves "breeches" of
fig leaves, instead of "aprons," as
the King James Version translates it.
No perfect copy of the Bib^e has
ever been printed, according to >one
of the officials of the American
Bible Society. Misspelled words and
other errors appear in every direc
tion.
The Authorized Version . of the
Bible as it was first published in 1611
would be hard reading today. Mod
ern Bibles follow modeitn spelling,
but in the time of King James the
Bible appeared with such spellings as
"Forgiue vs our dettes as we forgiue
oure detters." .)
The simplification and moderniz
ing of the Bible goes on steadily and
i at least two complete new transla
tions have recently come out, but the
stately phrases of the Authorized
Version have become so much a part
of the common speech of English
speaking people that it is unlikely
the new phraseology "will ever be so
widely accepted.
Colleges . . . and women
The demand for college-trained
women in business is one of the in
teresting developments of modern
times. Talking recently with the head
of one of the largest department
stores in America, he said that the
only way he had found to obtain
sales people and clerks of the high
degree of intelligence and character
his store required was to employ only
college women, when they could bo
got. v
Colleges for women are new things;
the oldest is less than seventy-five
vears old. They had to fight their
way in the face ot a general preju
dice against educating girls. They
have always been "hard up," having
to make a dollar do the work of
three, while men's colleges have ob
tained large endowments. Now the
seven leading women's colleges have
united in an appeal for financial
aid in carrying on the work of giv
ing girls an equal chance with bojs.
It takes courage and faith to try
to raise a fund of thirty million dol
lars in times like these. If it were
men who were trying I would say they
hadn't a chance. But when women
start after a thing they usually get it,
so I have hopes that Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar and Wellesley will
find their money somewhere.
Taxes ... the Georgia way
j What usually happens when the
politicians in control of the reins of
government find that there is a sur
plus of tax income over necessary
expenses, is that they create a lot
of. new jobs and so find ways to
spend more than the revenues. j
The city of Fairburn, Georgia,
seems to be in the hands of a differ
ent sort of officials. Finding itself
with a surplus of $5,000 in the muni
cipal treasury, enough to run the
city for a year, it has declared all
taxes off for a year.
Did anybody ever hear of anything
{ike that before? I never did.
Banks . . . afod social service
I was sitting in the president's of
fice of the little country bank where
I do business when the cashier came
in. A village man who had had a lot
of sickness in his family, and was
being pressed for doctor's and other
bills, wanted to borrow fifty dollars.
"He's honest ?" asked the president.
"Absolutely," the cashier replied.
"Got a job?" "Works for the town."
"Find out how much he owes in
all, and let him have what he needs
to clean up, up to a hundred dollars'
said the president. Take his note and
tell him to pay what he can when it's
due and we'll renew the rest. And,
John," the president added, as the
cashier turned to go, "you can handle
any other cases of the same sort
the same way.
That's real banking, because it's
human banking. Big banks that have
to delegate all their functions to
clerks, and lay down rujes whioh
must not be departed from can't lend

JACKSON COUNTY FARMES6

Forty-seven lambs were shipped

Net to farmers $lt
These 47 lambs averaged $4.07 cad
on the market with a shipping ex
pense of 70c, including drift. Tliej
drift on the 47 lambs averaged ap
proximately 0V2 lbs each against 10
to 13Vk lbs. drift formerly received
in Richmond and Cincinnati ship
ments last year. Even though the
market at Atlanta is not quite as
high 011 good lambs as at other Cen-I
tral markets, the ?difference in ship
ping expense more than makes upl
for it.
I11 order to top the market at any
place a 75 to 80 Ib. lamb carrying
plenty of flesh is required to grade
Good. The County Agent urges all
lamb growers to keep their lambs
free of worms and on good grass in
order to ship only top lambs, ship
ping as they reach the proper weight
and flesh. More shipments are plan-)
ned in the near future. Anyone the'
County Agent has not already seen j
is urged to see. him in the near fu
ture and let him plan future ship
ments. By shipping cooperatively as
these seven men did, you get all the|
lambs bring1, less transportation.
The following men shipped the
lambs referred to above : Mr. Milasl
Parker of Cowarts; Mr. Erie Coward
of Cowarts; Mr. R. W. Fisher of
Sylva, Rt. 1 ; Mr. T. C. Brvson, Sr.,

Congressmen
Criticized For
Using Funds
Washington, D. ?., July 20. (Special)
Political propaganists of bu..
parties have been busy digging imo
the records of "honest graft" on the
part of members of the liouKe anu
Senate, and have uncovered sourcc*
of income, ubove their salaries, of
which u majority of members of both
parties, seem to have availed them
selves.
Not that there is anything techni
cally dishonest about putting mem
bers of one's family on the g',v' rii
ment payroll, or collecting travel
and expense money which hus not
been actually expended. Congress
makes (he laws governing t! -
things, and Congress has en i ?
seen to it that there are min>;
ways in which its members can a?tu
something to their $10,000 sala
Every member, for example, is cti
titled to charge 40 cents a mile for
travel between his home district and
Washington, at the beginning and
end of each session of Congress. Tin'
runs up into material money i*
ease of a member from the t
Coast, who can put' in a bill lor '
to $1,200 at least twice ii y
" travel expense," whetiur Ih
home between sessions or not.
Some Fast Travelers
Instances have been uncovered
where members collected round-trip
travel expenses between the end of
a regular session and the beginning
of a special session which begun <>?iy
a few days later, when it would bin <
been imjx?ssible for them to go 1.
and back in the time allowed.
got their travel pay, nevertheless.
Legal, of course ? but is it legitimate
and honest?
In the matter of members of th':
families on Government pa.vrof ?
it Bo*
men and not a few Senators anxious
that nobody goes into their home dis
tricts with the facts. Each member is
allowed $2,000 a year for a secretary.
In addition, every committee of each
house has an appropriation for a
committed clerk, and that appoin'
inent is at the disposal of the chair
man of the committee. Besides those,
functionaries, there are literally hun
dreds of other employees in awl
around the Capitol and the Sen
and House office buildings ? some
thing more more than 3,000 in all.
Many members appoint their wives
or their sons as secretaries, put
nephews and other relations in as
pages, clerks and the like. The re
cord is nol yet complete, but enough
has been discovered to indicate that
there are comparatively few members
of either house v;ho have not been
able to add a few thousand a year to
the family income by these methods.
Matty Wrinkled Brows
As stated before there is nothing
partisan about this inquiry. Just
about as many members of one party
as of the other are concerned.
Besides the money perquisities,
members have luxurious offices fur
nished at Government expense, elab
orate Turkish baths and barber shops
the best restaurant in Washington
for their exclusive use, and many
other luxuries which make the life
of a Senator or Representative far
from unpleasant. What is worrying
some of (hem now, however, is the
fear that the facts about these thing*
will gel buck home where their con
stituent n are groaning under the bur
den of taxes imposed by these same
lawmakers. The facts might result in
some embarrassing questions between
now and election.
