compressed poppy. The outer covering
is a thick layer of dried leaves. In
side the building the whole place Is
full of smoke, arising from a hundred
charcoal fires in open earthenware
''chattis." placed in row around the
walls. Over each fire rests shallow
brass pan in which bubbles mixture
of poppy and water. This mixture is
strained through paper and passes on
to be more carefully boiled in the next
room, where the process Is exactly
similar. From there it goes to another
room. where the strip is reduced to the
consistency of treacle over slow fires.
In another building the opium is pack

THE SORROWFUL TREE.
Its Flowers Open at Night and Close
With the Dawn of Day.


With the Dawn of Day.
There is a tree in Persia to which
the name 1.-The sorrowful tree is given,
perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening. When the first star APP
pears in the heavens the first bud of
the sorrowfGl tree opens. and as the
shades of night advance and the stars
tlGckly stud the sky the buds continue
gradually opening until the W hole tree
looks like one immense white flower.
On the approach of dawn, when the
brilliancy of the stars gradually fades
in the light of day. the sorrowful tree
closes its flowers. and ere the sun is
fully risen not q single blossom is Wis
i5,e. sheet Of flower dust as white
as Snow covers the ground around the
foot of the tree, which seems blighted
and withered during the day, while.
however, it is actively preparing for
the next nocturnal festival. The fra
GRANGE of the blossoms is like that of
the evening primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots a new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in an incredibly short
time
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another which is
almost an exact counterpart o. the sor-
rowful tree. but less beautiful. and.
strange to say, it blooms only in the
daytime.

EXCLUDING THE JAPS

Despite the frequent assurances of
the United States government and the
Japanese that all is lovely, the be-
lief is growing that the situation is
much more tense than the officials of
either country would like to have
known.
The question at issue is the restric-
ton or prohibition of Japanese i'm
migrants. When the matter of res
tricting immigration was presented to
the Japanese government nearly a
year ago through the American En-
bassy at Toxic, the promise was
received that steps would be taken
by the Japanese to prevent the emil
grafton of the coolies to this coun-
try.
Instead of showing a falling off,
the number of Japanese immigrants
grew larger The immigration Off
Gals refused to give out any informa-
tiop on the subject in the hope that
the Mikado could make good his
promise, but as time went by it was
evident that he either could not
or would not restrict MS subjects
from coming to this country When
the report was furnished Secretary
Root it bore evidence that every
month had doubled the same month
of the year before, and sometimes had
quadrupled.
In the meantime the sentiment for
the exclusion of the Japanese alto
gether was growing stronger in
this country. Announcement of the
projected Pacific cruise caused the
Japanese to sit up and take notice and
try to explain the facts in regard to
immigration destined for the United
States.
Congress will no doubt be called
on to pass on a Japanese exclusion
bill, and it is reported that the Japa-
nese are so sensitive about being
classed with the Chinese in this
matter, that they would probably boil
over.
The present treaty with Japan ex-
pressly confers on either country the
right to pass such laws as each
pleases regarding the immigration of
Iaborers, and hence it would not be
just ground for a kick if the Japa-
nese laborers should be excluded.
The fact of the matter is that the
United States has a charge enough
on it's hands in promoting harmony
between the two races already here.
The Japanese problem-and it will be
a problem very soon if the little brown

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Under the new ruling of the United
States Postal Department, which went
into effect on January 1, 1908, daily
newspapers are prohibited, under
penalty, from sending papers by mail
to subscribers who are more than
three months in arrears. Under this
law it will be necessary for the
Times-RecOrder, in common with
other newspapers, to require all sub.
seribers receiving their papers by
mail to keep their subscriptions paid
mp to at least within three months. In
accordance with this, statements viii
be mailed in few days to all who
are more than three months in ar
rears, requesting remittances to
bring their subscriptions within the
limits laid down by the pOstOffice de.
partment at Washington.

COLONISTS TO SUMTER

The advance guard of what prom
Uses to be a host of colonists for
Sumter, county, arrived Wednesday,
at Huguenin, as told in the Times
Recorder. Twenty-seven were in
the party, and it was stated that the
chances were that the great majority
would locate here. Other parties are
to follow
Sumter county offers great induce
ments to northern farmers, who
have been accustomed to struggle
with WORKOUT lands, and also to con-
tend against the severe winters which
make life so disagreeable during
a large part of the year.
Few spots in the country are sc
happily situated for the farmer, OF
can promise such returns for labor
Cotton is the great staple, while
gardening, fruit growing, and the
production of cereals are most pro-
titably carried on.
The coming of the immigrants will
be boon to the farming industry in
this county. Intensive methods of
farming will be more generally in
troduced and earth will yield a wealth
many times greater than heretofore
The influx in population of such a
desirable class will also be a great
advantage to this section.
Sumter county and Americas extends
a warm welcome to the newcomers.
