Sooner or later the land owners
of the South will have to take
hold of the farm labor question
and regulate ii. All that Is needed
to remedy the difficulty is unity
of action on the part of the far
mers. The South is the only place
that we know of where the land
owners are at the mercy of the
labor they employ.-Orangeburg
Times and Democrat.
Just as our contemporary saye,
unity of action on the part of
the farmers is all that is needed
to solve the yexaticus labor prob
lem, but this one thing needful
will always be dream, al ideal
never to be realized. The condi--
tions are too complex and varied,
being different in every communi-

do not; some are independent,
Others dependent; some have one

labor has been trained differently
IN different sections. The only
solution that will ever come will
be for every farmer to conduct

Why make the dispensary a
direct issue in the next campaign?
By majority the people some
years ago asked for prohibition
and were denied it. They also
favored biennial sessions but the
legislature refused to make pro
vision for the change. WHAT as
sura1ce then have the people that
the institution would be abolished
should they vote ''no dispensary"

The white man, be- sides being charged with burning the jail, is also charged with breaking jail twice before, and in addition to this there is charge of bigamy against him. The Jefferson county jail has quite a reputation for safe keeping, for at present Cleveland Lincoln and Arkansas counties have prisoners there, and there are q good many more who use that jail when important arrests are made.

1664 He was an industrious and thrifty man, as were most of the in. habitants of that day. The old house has been the home of six generations of Jacksons, and it is still in the pos session of the Jackson family. The house fronts on the river and it is thought to be the oldest house in Portsmouth. The frame of the house is of oak and the timbers for the siIls project into the lower rooms.
 Longfellow once wrote:
 All houses wherein men have lived
 and died
 Are haunted houses"
 This old house is haunted only by the associations 1f the long, long years since it was built The imag- ination is sure to be pretty active when one stands under these ancient roofs, and the only Ina 'nts" ever seen about this old house are those one may see as readily with the eyes closed as open. To tread the very boards and open and close the very doors trod and opened by those who have been in their graves more than 200 years is to give one a strange sen- sation of nearness to them, and one of very imaginative turn of mind can easily people the old house with those who once lived there when 1t and America were young.

Courage and Diplomacy Required in Taking a Caravan Across
 Sandy Waste.

The merchants who fit out a garfla tcaravan) must stand all losses, consequently great care is given to the selection of both the camels which carry the valuable merchandise and the men who accompany them The tall and swift riding-camel known as the mehari is seldom net with in northern Tripoli. The finest male draught-camels, the jamal, costing from $50 to S60 apiece, with a carry ing capacity of about three hundred weight are used for transport. From consumption or the fleets of the long strain, scores often die by the way and many others at the end of the voyage" The wages of the men for conducting a return cargo are some times as high as 5000 Not only must the garfa sheiks have great courage and endurance, but must be trustworthy traders. and shrewd dip lomats of no small calibcr Many of the sultanS and chiefs, particularly the Touaregs, through whose terri. tories lie the garfla routes, exact not only homage but tribute from the garfia sheiks. To bring this tribute within a reasonable sum and secure a safe-conduct requires extraordinary skill and tact The opportua ties for dishonesty afforded the garfia men are many. and occasionally men and goods are never heard from again.

An Important Official.

For more than 35 years Uncle Tom" Moser has been translating the Osage language into English, and English into Osage in the various councils and deliberations the federal government has conducted with the Osage Indian tribe. He is now, as he has been for many years, official inter- preter. Mosier went with the Osages from Kansas to their present home in Oklahoma He is q mixed-blood ci,- izen. His position is one of great trust and responsibility. Upon cor- rect understanding of what is said in council depends important legislation. False interpretation might rob the h. dians of much of their wealth and lead them into doing things to which they were opposed. The fact that Mosier has kept his position is pos sibly the best evidence that he has been faithful to his trust.
