ALCOHOL RESTRICTS PRoeREs
10 Direct Cause Of insanity in About
Twelve to Fifteen Per Cent Of

Obstacles to race progress and the

provement In the United States were
closing sessions OF the thirteenth an
nual meeting of the American Acad-
emy of Political and Social Science at
Philadelphia
The interesting session was that at
which obstacles to race progress were
discussed. DIR. Charles l.. Dana of
New York laid great stress upon alco-
alcohol is direct cause of insanity in
the general population in about twelve
to fifteen per cent. of all cases. An
active education propaganda against
the use of alcohol by persons under
thirty years, he continued, would do
more good than attempts at positive
prohibition. Almost all cases of
drunkenness and dipsomania, he said,
develop before the age of 30 years.
Champ S. Andrews of New York
discussed quackery. the drug habit,
and the limitations of legislation in
remedying public health evils.
Il. ID. Warfield, president of Lafay-
cite college, gave views on the moral
influence of women in American So
ciety. His views were highly favor
able to women, except in certain
cases, such as the irresponsible rich,
among whom women. he said, are
found publicly and without shame
copying the vices of men,"

A Little Lesson From Nature.

How many CLEAN of beautiful sun

lives of earth IS despondent ones, II only
the eyes were lifted to catch the enliv-
ening beam, which falling athwart the
pathway, would bring joy and gladness
to the weary heart. Often the very
things we count as trivial, possess a
power to charm not at all proportion

may be the thrill of a happy bird fit
ting among the trees about our home,
but the melody enters the heart, exert
ing an influence which can scarcely
be explained. Again glancing over the
fair field of nature exhibited in rural
life and beholding perchance the lovely
display of leaf, flower and fruitage,
which the seasons present, the opening
buds of the spring time, the rich and
varied hue of the summers wealth, and
autum with it's beautifully tinted foli-
age these all speak to the hearts OF
earths' toiling ones, Tightening their
burdens, and lifting them above their
cares.
Though here sorrow may compass
about, still if the eye is kept lifted to.
ward the beautiful hope unfurled in
the azure sky of the better world, we
may find much joy even along life's
toughest paths, unless we allow "these
LIGHT af1iictionsD which are but for q
moment, to divert our thoughts from
the real object Of life, or to become so
engrossed by the requirement of wealth
or earthly aggrandizement, that we at
length lose sight Of and neglect that
better part, which shall never be TAX

The azure sky OF heavens own blue,
By Gods own grace we'll keep In

Accept the good to mortals given,
And antedate the joys Of heaven.

Little Crime in NORWAY

A new book descriptive of Norway
and its people, In Viking Land" by
Will S. Monroe, contains the following
observations on the subject of drink
in that country.
The crime problem is less serious
in Norway than in many European
countries, and there has been marked
diminution during the past 30 years,
with the decrease in the use of alco.
holic beverages. The decrease has
been most marked in the matter OF
theft and offenscs against public NOR
els.

BASIS OF SUCCESS.
Distinguished English Physician says
Temperance 10 the Foundation OF
National Prosperity.

IN the course OF an address deliy-
cred In London recently. Sir Victor
Horsley. the distinguished British
physician. said they we're all citizens
OF great Empire, but II had only re-
Gently occurred to many that to main
tain that empire they must individn-
ally study the conditions of national
life. II was no longer question OF
political economy; II was the question
of seeing how far every member OF the
race could live heaithily and work
happily. The report of the house OF
commons committees on physical de-
cadence had made the matter one of
vital Importance, and there were two
things to recognize-the housing OF
the population and the evils of alcohol
which were salient features in social
reform. If he could only make people
see. as he hoped they would be able
to see, that temperance was the foun-
dation of national prosperity and ef
ficiency, he would have done some
share of this work as a citizen.
In the hospitals the cost of alcohol
had decreased from $4,000 in 1869 to

patients had vastly increased, its con
sumption had decreased also. This
showed what was thought of it as a
drug.
The income of the nation had risen
SO per cent. in ten years, but could
they say 1t was wisely spent when
they saw that 40 millions were spent
on corn and no less than 160 millions
on alcohol? When money was thrown
away like this. was 1t fair to turn
round and complain of commercial
depression?
Statements that they had reached
the limits of taxation were founded on
sheer Ignorance. Would higher taxa
ton reduce the number of public
houses? Most certainly it would do
SO. as he had seen in Canada. He did
not believe In disinterested manage
ment nor in municipalization, but that
from the moral, economic, and physio-
logical aspects the better life of the
nation demanded the disuse of alco-
hol.

Those of the newer farmers who
have gone into the culture of alfalfa
for its seed are making quite success
of the speciality and will show us how
to take down the money. We accumu-
lated some figures on this business
lately and find that an average yield
means 300 pounds of seed to the acre
and as the most of this is taken from
the second crop it means pretty good
profit for patch in fine fettle, to say
nothing about the third cutting and
the aftermath for fall and winter graz
ing. When seed brings $36 an acre
with ton or two of first cutting
thrown in and all the haulm in the
thresher stack and n good stiff after
math to fall back upon it means that
alfalfa is about as good as peaches one
year with another with good deal less
fret and worry over the outcome.
Peaches are all right of course but we
can not all grows them and some OF
those who do can well afford to have a
few acres of alfalfa on the side for as a
general rule forage of all kinds is short
in every fruit district and always has
been ever since we can remember.

Building.

For other foundations can no ma
lay than that is laid, which Is Jesu
Christi Cor. Bill.
We are builders, each and all,
Building castles great and tall,
Some are built upon the sand,
Some on rock that, aye, shall stand.
Building meath the eye of God,
Building nobly 1t may be,
Where Christ's holy feet have trod,
Building for eternity"
Precious gems we're building In,
Gems we, to obtain, must toll,
God, Oh keep our hearts from sin,
Lest we yet the structure spoil.
Help us lift each heavy load,
Thou, aud Thou alone, canst know
If we build Alright; the road
Leads thrO' branbles here below.
Yet keep Thou the heart from guile,
Lest the building we defile,
Let no evil thoughts arise,
Lest the building Thou despise.
We would labor we'll each day,
And for careless workers pray,
They who build the stubble In,
They who swell the devils din.
We would aid another build
From our storehouses richly filed,
Nor could we, in malice, lend
Aid, some others work to rend.
Teach Thou US to build Alright,
In the glory of Thy might,
Meath thy wakeful eye are we,
Building for eternity"

boiling put i'm the steamed pears and
let them boil until they look clear all

Some pieces will cook much more
readily than Others. Put them in glass
jars, boil the syrup until it is nearly
ready TO candy, then pour it over them,
sealing immediately. A nice preserve
is made by mixing one-third ounces
to two-thirds pears.
The Dolores star., 1909-09-03

Canned Pears.-Prepare the pears
and pack them closely in glass jars,
screw on the covers but not very tight,
and set the jars in kettle of warm
water. Put excelsior in the bottom of
the kettle upon which to set the jars.
Let the water reach within an inch of
the tops. Set the kettle where the
water will boil steadily for at least an
hour or until the pears have had time
to become thoroughly cooked. When
done, open the jars and fill them to
overlooking with fruit from one of
them, then seal quickly and set away.
No water or sugar is used in this recipe.
There must always be an extra can
from which to fill the others.

We hear much about bettering farm

seem to know little of the real situation.
All can see that when farm produce
brings good prices farmers prosper and
conditions improve. Then surely
what is needed is conditions that will
enable the farmer to get the best pos
sible prices for his produce. To get
his supplies the cheapest, he wants
freight rates split in the middle; he
wants express cut to about one-fOurth
what they are now; he wants parcels
post rates very low, SO it will be possi-
ble to deliver produce to the consumer
in large or small lots at low rates, bring
ing producer and consumer together
and thus largely cutting out the mid

Negro Lodged in Jail.

McRae, Ca, August 21.-Henry
Taylor, the negro charged with the
murder of Mrs. Josh Vickery and her
infant at Lumpkins ferry, in Telfai1
county, was not lynched but is safe
in jail here, as are also Josh Vickery
the husband of the unfortunate Wo-
man, and Sambo Robinson, a cousin
of Mrs. Vickery.
The negro was not taken from the
sheriff of Wilcox county.
Sheriff J. D. Williams and Deputy
Etheridge, of McRae, and others
crossed the river and captured the
negro at Evergreen Thursday night
brought him over to the scene OF
the murder, had an investigation and
the general opinion is that this negro
is not guilty of the offense.
The negro and white men are now
in jail here, and all denied any
knowledge of how and when the
crime was committed. The negro
was especially loud in his protesta-
tions of innocence and said he could
prove an alibi.
When brought to the scene of the
murder, feeling was high against
him and threats of lynching were
made and rope was tied around his
neck and he was told to confess, but
he stoutly declared his innocence and
the people believe him after investi-
cation.
Vickery and Robinson are being
held on account of alleged conflicting
statements they have made.

man to whom the Office has no attrac-

this position was given to citizen

keeps on making this class of ap-
pointments the South will begin to
really feel that it is part of the

a victory for those who are opposed

little over two hundred votes. The
Williamsburg portion of the proposed
county gave 823 votes for the new
county and 415 against. The Clar-
endon voters, whose precinct was
Sandy Grove, gave As for the new
