WardInq Off Competition.

Lorin F. Deland, in the April Atlantic.
 Let us assume that tomorrow you decide to embark in the business of manufac- turing a toilet soap to compete with some of the well-known makers. It is import ant that it should have a significant or attractive name But, right at the out set, you discover that 1t is almost im- possible to secure any satisfactory nams for a new soap. Its color, transparency, and clearness suggest the title of amber soap" Yes, surely. amber soap does have an attractive sound. But you can not use the word amber" for you find that this Is one of a list of "A possible names for toilet-soap, preempted by reg istration as a probationary measure years ago by one of the leading American soap makers. They have covered over 100 names in the past quarter of century. willingly paying the registration charges of S25 for every title. Of course, they do not intend to use them; they register them to fight off competition. believing (and here is the important pointD that no clev- CT business man would embark in the en- terprise of manufacturing a new soap, when from the start he was prevented from employing the powerful weapon of imagination in giving 1t a suitable name. If an establishment like this, directed by some of the ablest heads in the businesA world, believes that 1t can discourage ooua> petition by simply depriving the would-be competitor of the appeal to the imagine tion in the naming of his soap, how great a value must be attached to imagination in business2

NEW oFFIoERs TAKE cBARGE.
County Commissioners. Clerk o
Court, supt. of Education,

Last Friday the County Commis-
sioners met in Joint session, the old
board turning over the reins OF office
to the new Supervisor and Commits
sioners. The retiring board was COM
posed Of ID. F. McAlister, Supervisor:
j. l.. Miller and ]. l.. Talley, Com
missioners. The board as It now
stands Is composed as follows: Ma
thaniel Phillips, Supervisor; ]. III.
Allen and j. emmett Hill, Commis-
sioners. The Affairs of the county
were closed up for 1908 and the
office turned over ~ the new board,
who elected Jamc Seabron their
clerk. Mr.. Seaborn Is familiar with
much of the county routine business
and will make an efficient and courte-
GUS clerk. The present Supervisor
and Commissioners start of with
their official duties under auspicious
circumstances, the .county's affairs
being in good shape. Mr.. Phillips
is not entirely new to the duties OF
his office, having served as Commits
sioner for number of years. The
duties of this office are SO closely al
lied to those of the Supervisors of
fee that 1t is but a step up from Com
missioner to Supervisor.
Clerk of Court G. r. D. Burns has
turned over his office to the new
Clerk, John F. Craig. James Sea-
born, for years Clerk Of Court of
Oconee. is also the clerk in the office
of Clerk of Court, and his duties
now seem as but resuming work
where he left off few years back,
With his able assistance Mr.. Craig
will find assuming the duties of his
new office comparatively easy, anG
the work will go on without a
hitch or interruption.
Superintendent Of Education Craig
has stepped down and out to give
place to Wade G. Hughs, Esq, whom
the people chose to preside over the
educational branch Of the county
government. That he will prove an
able and efficient official Is the belief
Of his constituents. They are looking
to him for an ideal administration.
and we believe they will not be dis
appointed.

Matte Malone, of Fair Play.
The guests were met and welcomed
by the charming hostess and Misses
Blanche Isbell and Emily Compton
They were ushered into the parlor,
which was lovely with Christmas
evergreens. Games and conversa-
while, then, as each young lady hal
brought with her an unhemmed
apron, an "apron hemming' came
next. Ties matching the aprons OF
each young lady were placed in a
box and then drawn out by the gen.
tlomen, who each hemmed the apron
Of the lady wearing the correspond
ing apron. Much merriment was had
over this. The prize, a dainty china
cake plate, was awarded to Julius
Marett, who very gracefully present
ed it to Miss Mary Sheldon, whose
apron he henmed. A large hand
gourd was the BOBBY prize, awarded
to Lawrence Sheldon and Miss Ethel
Marett.
Next In order was guessing con-
test, in which estimates were made
on the number Of seeds in Mr.. Shell

guessing nearest received large and
carefully wrapped package, which on
opening contained an empty "Hay,
ner's', accompanied by a "Barker's
almanac for directions"
The guests then drew for partners
to go into the dining room for re-
freshmests. Names Of flowers were
written on slips Of paper, then these
were cut in half, each half being
placed in separate boxes, and drawn
out by the young people who then
had to match them, the couples
whose slips matched being partners,
and they entered the dining room.
Around the table, which was a dream
Of loveliness in hand painted china,
sparkling silver and glassware, with
mirror plateau adding richness to
the effect, the guests took their
places. The hostess and Miss Comp
ton then served the delicious cakes
! and hot coffee and chocolate with
whipped cream, after which the
guests re-assembled in the parlor,
| where, after a few more games, they
reluctantly bade host. and hostess
adieu, hoping 1t would not be long

would again be thrown open to them.

Keen the Politicians out.

The Union, organ of the
Farmers Union says: swatch
the politicians that gain adj
mittance to the Union. You
can't watch them too close
ly." That's right. Watch
'em, and the minute they are
caught with the goods on
them, kick 'em out. The
Farmers Union can do much
for the farmer, but the mos
ment it becomes tainted by
politics, away goesits useful-
ness. Witness the celebrated
Farmers Alliance, of odori~
ferrous memory, tool Of Mary
Ann Butler. Politics, for
that matter, will ruin any
sort of all organization ex-
cept a political organization.
For the average man it is a
delusion and a snare and
benefits only the trickster
who gobbles the pie. While
every citizen should vote and
take keen interest in governs
ment, deep blowing and les
gumes will benefit a farmer
far more than all the politics
under the sun.
