CURED to deal with the customer in
such a way as to satisfy him and win
his confidence. But usually the buyer
will know when he is being fairly
dealt with and is willing to take his
chances along with the rest.
The seller cannot be expected to
make up for any loss that he is not
directly responsible for, as he must
buy as we'll as sell and has to take
many chances himself and meets with
frequent loss. In most cases the re-
lationship between buyer and seller
IS very pleasant, and the pleasure man

fairly is the highest reward and the
best spur to further effort to prepare

Selling Eggs for Matching.

The following is from the Petalum;
Poultry Journal:
There is constant demand in thi
state for eggs from pure bred stool
in incubator lots and by the sitting
Many poultry keepers who hatch large
numbers of chicks do not have egg
enough of their own to get off large
matches at regular intervals, other
buy to improve their stock, whll
many others buy eggs for Matching
to get their first start in the poultry
business. Many of the buyers will
state that they do not care TO-
fancy" poultry, but want eggs from
pure bred stock. The idea is to have
birds of uniform size, color and quai
1ty and good layers; also fowls tina
will reproduce themselves. Tn
above results can only be obtained
from pure bred stock; scrubs are NJ
longer recognized as being profitable
or desirable by the poultryman who
understands his business.
ITO avoid close inbreeding and tt
maintain the general excellence of the
flock, it becomes necessary to buy
high-class stock or eggs and the re-
suit should be some extra good birds
to sell to those who want STANDARD
bred birds and, knowing their value
are willing to pay good price fol
them. A sufficient number should be
retained to supply eggs for Matching
to those who are interested in the
fancy branches of poultry raising, ane
to raise stock for ones own use. The
birds lacking in minor points but hav
ing all the essential qualities of the
breed, such as size, shape and color
are retained to supply eggs in incu
bator lots at a nominal price. These
fowls descending from a line of high
scoring stock, though deficient il
some points themselves, often produce
birds of superior quality if care is
taken not to mate them with birds
having similar defects; and if the buy
er knows how to take advantage o.
this he may with but little cost builo
UP a flock of high-grade fowls.
"It is more responsible business
than selling poultry and eggs for com
mercial purposes, for when a person
buys stock for breeding purposes Oh
eggs for Matching it is an investment
supposed to bring them profitable re-
turns, in other words help them tt
make living, he should honestly
and conscientiously try to give them
good value for their money Most Of
the misunderstanding arising be
tween buyer and seller is caused by
the different ideas as to what consti-
tutes value for money received, both
of them being honest in their con
victions Many times the buyer is q
beginner and expects too much fol
his money. He doesn't know what
constitutes fair percentage of fer
tile eggs and may be ignorant how tc
hatch them, or perhaps doesn't know
the value of breeding fowls and is
unreasonable in his expectations. This

1t looks as if Tom Watson has
about cornered Bishop Gambler on
the prohibition question. The bishop
may have been a prohibitionist all
OF his life, but he has certainly made
some great blunders. When the
Willingham bill was up for passage
III the Senate few years ago, card
from Bishop Gambler in which he
declared for local option, was used
by one Of the leaders who opposed the
bill and made the text for his entire
speech. He used what the bishop
had said as an argument against a
state prohibition bill.-Talbotton

SOME GOOD THOUGHTS.

To the Editor Of The Georgian:
AS the Fourth of July is approach
ing, the date when we celebrate an.
nually the birth of this nation, it
seems appropriate to call attention
to that document which converted the
thirteen colonies into an independent,
self-governing community. Of course,
every schoolboy knows that the doc
ument referred to is the "Declara-
ton Of Independence. But very few
schoolboys, and, for that matter, very
few grown citizens of this country,
are as intimately acquainted as they
ought to be with the principles laid
down in that immortal document
which created this nation. On the
principles laid down In that immor-
tai declaration, this nation was found
ed. 1t is for the realization of these
principles that the Constitution of
the United States was afterwards
formulated. And it is for the real
ization of these principles merely,
that any constitution or laws of this
country, whether state or national,
ought to be enacted, and ought to
serve.
We have long recognized the fact
that any law enacted in conflict with
the constitution of the state or ma
tion is void.
The constitution of state or of
the nation purports to set forth and
safeguard the rights and duties of
the individual and of the community
to each other. And any laws, which
are rules and regulations, enacted by
the people through their delegates or
representatives, must conform to the
principles laid down in the constitu-
tion, and any law in conflict there
with would be void.
No law has any binding force if
in conflict with the constitution; that
is, with the rights and duties of the
individuals and the community to
each other, as laid down in the con-
stitution.
1t seems almost superhuous to call
special attention TO this well recog-

the Crawford homestead, near APP
ping, in Columbia county, at the age
of "a years. She is survived by her
sister, Miss Pemelia, aged 88; her
brother, Mr.. Nathan Crawford, OF
Lincolnton, aged "a, and her nephews,
Mr.. Remsen Crawford, the author,
and DR.. w. Ell. Crawford, of Lincoln
ton, physician.
THhe death of Miss Sarah Jane
Crawford removes the Oldest and best
loved person in Columbia county, and
one of the most remarkable women
in the state. The scene of her death
was also the place of her birth. She
was born in the Crawford homestead,
which has been continuously occu-
led bv Crawfords for over l25
years.
At the time of her death, Miss
Crawford was surrounded by her I'M
mediate kin, and number OF warm
friends from all sections of the coun-
ty. She has been in failing health
for some time, and her death was
the result Of complication of trou-
bles too much for her old age.
Miss Sarah Jane Crawford was
cousin of the late distinguished Will
liam Harris Crawford, who failed OF
election as president Of the United
States by a single vote, and whom
Napoleon stamped as the greatest
man he had ever met.
Talked of Distinguished Cousin.
"We remember William H. Craw-
ford very well," said Miss Sarah
Jane to Governor Hoke Smith, upon
the occasion of his visit to the Craw-
ford homestead during the campaign.
"He was our cousin, and lived In
this county. He was getting along In
years, however, when we-Pemelia
and I-were young ladies, and died
in Ebert county before we knew
much of him or his doings as
statesman"
When Governor Smith visited the
Misses Crawford, April %, 1906, he
was en- route from Lincolnton to APP
pling. He was accompanied by DR..
W. H. Crawford, and the pleasant
stop at the Crawford homestead came
as a pleasant surprise to him.
The following is taken from an ac-
count of the governors visit to the
Misses Crawford, written for The
Journal at the time:
AS DIR. Crawford and Mr.. Smith
approached the house, the door
opened and there, standing in the
door, with her hands folded in front,
was a beautiful woman--a woman
nearly ninety years of age-with well
preserved features, set off by pretty
snow white hair. And she was so
glad to see the doctor and to meet
his distinguished friend.
Inside the room, in an easy chair,
was seated even a more remarkable
woman-a woman. ninety-three years
of age, but still enjoying fairly good
health, active and energetic enough

nized principle, that any law in con-
fiict with the constitution is void.
In fact, it has gone so far, that
we have made fetch Of our consti-
tuition, especially of our national con-
stitution.
We have lost sight Of the fact that
the constitution Of the United States
is merely a device for carrying into
effect the principles of the "Decla-
ration Of Independence. :" As no
creature can rise superior to its Gre
ator, so any Interpretation OF the
provisions of the constitution, whether
state or national, in conflict with the
principles laid down In the "Declara-
ton of independence, is perver-
sion of the spirit of this country, is
against the safeguarded rights of the
individual, fundamentally wrong and
void.
Not the constitution of the United
States. but the Declaration of In
dependence, and the principles laid
down in that document, which called
this nation into existence, is the
fountain-head from which all con-
stitutions and laws in this land de-
rive their authority, and to whose
spirit they must conform, to be in
harmony with the spirit of this coun-
try and binding on its citizens, indi-
vidually and collectively. Never let
us forget for moment that the cit
liens of this country ere the country,
and that there ought to be only real
elf-government "of the people, by
the people, for the people,; and that
interpretations of the constitution in
any ways conflicting with this, or
with any of the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, con-
stitute a usurpation of power, O..
tyranny not to be tolerated in this
republic.
It is a curious fact that the "De-
claration of independence" cannot
be found in any text books of our
primary schools. Every child, [ sup
pose [ am not certain) is taught
that there was such an event as the
declaration of independence, but of
the real contents of this document,
which ought to be the supreme law
of the land, not one citizen in hun.
dred, may say, has any real concep-
tion, and net one in thousand has
any accurate, intimate knowledge.
It is this shameful condition of
things which prompts me to suggest
that the full text of the "Deolara-
tion Of Independence ought-to have
a prominent place in the text books Of
our schools, and that the words and
the spirit Of that document ought to
be in the Jealous care Of every teach
er, to be made by him into an inte-
grail part Of the brain and spirit of
the future citizen of this republic.

by having him spend the night at the
home of his remarkable aunts. He
had informed them that Mr. Smith
would be their guests on that partic

coming" remarked Miss Sarah Jane.
"We waited supper a long time, but

OF LATE
HARRY JOHNSTON
(From Mondays Advert.ser.l


The funeral of the late Harry J.
Johnston was held from st. Andrews
Cathedral at 2:sO O'Clock yesterday
afternoon.
Late Saturday a cable was received
from Hind, Rolph Co. of San Fran
cisco by Jack Low in response to cables
sent, from which it was known that
the widow had not started for Homo
lulu by the Alameda, as was believed
she had. The cable expressed the great
shock the news of Mr. Johnston's death
had caused, and expressed the desire
of the widow that the body should be
cremated.
The service at the cathedral was very
largely attended. There was good rep
resentation of the Masons and of the
Elks to both of which orders the de-
ceased had belonged. Besides these
there were many who came because they
had known the deceased as friend
or neighbor. There was present large
delegation of Japanese merchants and
importers, among whom Mr.. Johnston
had held intimate and extensive bust
ness relations.
A great many floral remembrances
were sent from friends. and organiza-
tions, the Elks sending very hand
some piece. The Japanese importers
also sent an elegant floral memento.
Attached to it was card, expressing
in both English and Japanese the es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
among them.
The body was in 4 plush covered
casket. The pail bearers were George
Angus, Frank Thompson, Harry Muir
ray, W, w. Harris, Robert Stackable
and Samuel Walker.
The services at the cathedral were
conducted by the Rev. E. T. Simpson,
assisted by Canon Hilton. They con-
sisted of the regular service for the
dead. The hearse was followed to the
cemetery by large number of friends
in carriages.
At the mortuary chapel in the crem-
atory at Nuuanu cemetery, a photo
graph of the casket covered and sur
rounded by the flowers and floral pieces,
was taken to be sent to the widow.
The body was placed within the in
chamber at about 6 O'Clock.
The ashes will be preserved await
ing instructions from Mrs. Johnston.
