each lii-ji'tal ha.; but one life to live, then why
should he be saiislied with environs that do not

Not only d'l a lot of firms overlook the im
portance of credit, but they fail to take the ad
vantage of the discounts. offered for payment
of cash.
The usual cash discount is two per cent
sometimes three and though it may seem
.small, there is much to be gained during the
period of a year by taking these discounts. We
know of one firm, doing an average business,
that found at the end of the year the discounts
taken during the twelve months amounted to
the same as the amount paid the salaries of
the store's two clerks.
In one sense of the word, by watching his
bills, and playing the game fair and square,
this merchant got his clerk hire free.
A good credit helps an individual or firm
along, while those having lost their credit are
usually for ever and a day struggling against
odds to move forward in the world.
jsPEEl) AND DRUNKS
"Vtu ought to sav something about 1
demons r,n our streets.' ,
"You ought t .-'tart a movement to g.t

Well, we Thought we had talked ourselves
blue in. th" face am! aid enough about the-e
two is-ues :o make our readers disgusted.
Hut when speed demons and drunk driver
get off the streets and highways it will be when
the people rise in righteous indignation and
dimand that Miflicient punishment be meted out
to stop the menace.
Saturday a "reported drunk" nearK col
lided with a car operated by a local lady. After
missing the car the driver sped away, no re
gard being paid to those in the immediate
neighborhood whose safety was in jeopardy
when he ran his own car onto the curb and
walks.
Yesterday a party stated that a self-appointed
vigilance committee would have to be
formed to stop the abuse of the highways. And
unless drastic action and severe penalties ara
soon meted out by those in authority it is pos
sible that laymen will have to organize.
Certain it is that innocent users of the
highways ought not to be endangered by fool
ish drivers and drink-crazed minds. Rock Hill,

INVENTIONS AID TO LAZINESS
Science and inventions and such are still
doing their very best to remove the last vo.'tige
of drudgery and inconvenience: from the neces
sary activities and functions of human exper
ience' Which, being so, makes some of us -amazed
that so little chanting has been done over the
coming of the zipper into the attire of the race.
With one zip you can now do wdiat for
mcily required dozens of zaps in the way cf
buttoning and unbuttoning your clothes.
Perhaps, the amount of fatigue, the vol
ume of human wear and tear and the loss of
needed energy in going through the old-fashioned
process of buttoning on our apparel and
then unbuttoning it off has never been appro
priately ' appraised, in the first place.
Now, however, all of this is no longer a
part of the boudoir program.
You can zipper yourself into your clothes
in a jiffy or less.
If the inventive boys will give us in the
near future a solution with which we can wash
the beard from the face with the morning's
ablutions and, then design a contraption that
makes it possible to switch the electric light on
and off with just a whisper of a breath, thus
saving the energy now required to press a but
tonwell, there's a lot to be done yet by the
scientists and inventors before every ideal of
laziness will have been realized. Julian Miller,
Charlotte Observer.
The Ruralite, a weekly newspaper published
in Sylva, presented their readers last week with
an eighteen-page edition in celebration of the
founding of Jackson County. The area now
known as Jackson County was a part of Macon
and Haywood counties until 1831. Much pro
gress has been made in our neighboring county
during these 81 years and we congratulate
"Haywood's oll'-spring" for possessing that
spirit of "ever onward."

A FRIEXD OF MA:; Xo man in
public or private life who has dieu
within my memory has left so many
people witii the keen sense of personal
toss that has been caused by the tragic
and untimely death of Will Rogers.
To every man whether he had ever had
the privilege of knowing him, Rogers
was a personal friend, a ptrsonal pos
session. There are many incidents in
the life of W'iil Rogers which might
form the text for a sermon, but taken
as a whole, his whole life is a sermon,
eloquent, and appealing to all of man
kind everywhere. He exemplified the
qualities which every man secretly
cherishes, and admires and longs to
po.-ess. His life was an 'open book,
clean, frank, holiest, straightforward,
without pretense or pose. He was
simple, genuine, kindly, sincere. His
humor and wit never carried a cruel
barb or an unkind word. The entire
I hackground of his life was clean and
utuuesonie and honorable. One ex
pression that Will Rogers; one time
used might be said to aptly epito-

days a man measuring the gas in his
tank. Most cars have guages, but his
was a model that required the little
stick about lit teen inches long- one
side marked for oval tanki and the
other for square tanks 'member?
Now this yarn is the truth whether
it sound's, like it or not, but if you
knew the person like I do, you'd agree
and take more stok m the truthful
ness of this story . . . this woman was
the moit stingy person in seven
states, and without any reason, as
she and her husband had accumulated
at least $50,000 in cash. About the
only thing she cared for besides money
was flowers, and she grew some beau
tiful ones.

Ought to be against the law for peo

Ought to be against the law to buy

One day, just at dusk, she spied a
cow right in the heart of her garden,
and with fury in her heart, and blood
in her eyes, she made for the cow, de

then her stingy niooir came to life
and she deciii-.d to milk the cow for
payment ot the damage done, then
