Would See the "South Caroline"

Charleston, Sept. 2.-It is a sug-
gestion of State Senator Huger Sink
ler that the battleship South Caro-
lima should defer her visit to Char
lesion to receive the handsome silver
service until next January, rather
than in December, which was first
planned, that the legislature, which
will be then in session, may be
brought to Charleston to participate
in the ceremonies incident to the
event.
1t is planned to have big celebra-
ton here when the ship comes. 1t is
yet too soon to say anything about
the program, but this will all be
worked out in time and as the
South Carolina stands today the
finest battleship in the navy, both in
construction and the results of her
recent trial run, it is fitting that a
big celebration should mark her Wis
it and that all South Carolina should
take part in the ceremonies.
1t is argued that it will be good
thing for the State and also for the
navy to have this celebration take
place in January when the legisla-
ture and the State officials will be
able to take part and the plan will
probably be adopted

White Chief of Police.

Beaufort, S. c., Aug. 31.-Beau-
fort has white chief of police for
the first time since the war between
the sections, and the negroes in this
heart of the black belt, which up
to few years ago when the districts
were rearranged was accustomed to
sending negro congressman to
Washington, are puzzled and put out
to understand the strange change.
1t seems that the change in the situ-
alton has been brought about gradu-
ally by a class of working whites
moving into Beaufort and becoming
voters, while formerly the old aristo-
cratic class was almost the only
white element in the city proper. For
some years the city has been going
forward under a white mayor, but a
white chief of police is as strange
and revolutionary fact as a negro
chief mayor would be in a thriving
city in the Piedmont section.

A Diving Gamblers Advice.

The best known gambler in the
world is dying in New York. When
he was dicussed gambling hAs words
have had the ring of authority. Dur
ing his life he has been liberal and
now he is practically penniless. TO
a friend who last week asked him
what advice he would give to boy
who came to him for counsel as to
a career in life he replied: "There
wouldn't be any use giving it, but
would. I'd say, 4 can't tell you
what to do. for no two people IN
the world are alike. You'll have to
find your work. But I'd say to him,
Take any road but the "crooked
one."' I've been a gambler. So are
all men. Most business is a form of
gambling. Think of Wall street. But
gambling's no profession for any
man. 1t is not even profitable
one, for it's the only one of which
you can say, The higher you go
the lower you go. The more you
succeed the more you fail. The cleV-
erer man is, the more brilliant ne
becomes, the harder it is for a man
to get on as gambler. They get
afraid of him. It's pity that
every young man in our country
could not have these words impress
ed upon him. Gambling is one OF
the greatest cures of the day, wheth-
er it be at the race track, in Wall
street, at the card table or at a
church fair. The winner gets what
he does not earn and what the loser
cannot afford to lose. Men are
tempted to dishonesty by the ap-
parent chances that they have at
gambling. Then, often, they sink
deeper and deeper to utter ruin.
Take any road but the crooked one
is mighty good advice to every man,
woman and child in existence

Have you ever noticed that there

words for the absent one when MS
name is mentioned in conversation!
There may be words Of criticism and

of commendation! The golden rule
suggests that we speak OF the absent
one as we would have others speak or

Frightened by Initiation.

Cross Hill, Sept. 3.-The w. o. w.
had lively meeting the other night.
They were initiating a new member,
and the whole town was aroused
about 12 o'clock by shooting and
yelling. 1t seems that the member
got frightened, ran and the whole
membership ran after him, and it
was some time before he could be
caught; he was scared nearly to
death. In the race they ran near a
negro house, knocked down the ne
gros garden and scared him and
his family about as bad as the
new member. The uninitiated are
at loss to know what they do to
new members to scare them so. Sew
eral have been frightened as bad as
this man was, getting away from the
lodge and running themselves nearly
to death.

Farming i'm the North and South.

Home and Farm makes strlhlng
comparison of the northern anu
Southern farmer. 1t has this to say:
:sThe climate of the south IS o:
great advantage to the farmer: Inc
Climate of the north costs the farmer
a great deal of money, not only IN
the form of fuel but in lessenlng the
days that he can work out OF ooo.S, .S
"And yet the farmer in the nortn
per man makes more every year tnan
the farmer in the south. -.
ssThis is a fact that every soutn-
ern farmer should take home to hlm-
self. He should ask himself why II
is that he cannot make as mucn
money as his brother in the north.
cone reason is that he does not
farm as closely. He does not pay as
much attention to the little thlngs'
to the little expenses and to the little
items of income. ;.
"Another reason is he does not dl-
versifv his farming. The wheat tar-
mer of the north raises much more
generally than the cotton farmer OF
the south-hogs and chickens, cows
and sheep. In other words, ne ol-
versifies his farming more. He does
not relv upon one crop which ex-
hausts his land and his patience
He can afford to have a partial tall
ure of his main crop and yet come
out all right. ,,,,
Another reason is the northern
farmer uses more tools. He is
quicker to buy new tools. He right
" estimates the value of his own
labor and the labor of his son ana
the labor of his hired man, and so 10
save this labor-that is, to make II
more effective-he gets more 1arn
implements and better farm lmple-
ments. 1t is said that in New lorA
and Pennsylvania, for instance, the
average value of farm implements

Virginia, North Carolina, A!abama'

than $50.

cot. BRYAN DELIGHTS
ALL WITH SECOND TALK.

Although much smaller house
heard Col. VIM. j. Bryan on Saturday
| night at the concluding number OF
the Chautauqua than heard him on
the night preceding, the general ex-
preston is that the second lecture
was superior in many ways to the
first. When he took up the subject OF
taxation, in al after talk Saturday
night, he warmed up to the issue and
spoke with his full vigor and strength,
reminding snany of his former visit
here fourteen years ago when he was
working in the cause of free silver.
Col. Bryan concluded his engagement
here Saturday night and left Sunday
mnrning for the south, making a trip
through the upper end of the Pecos
Valley early in the morning by auto.
Upon Mr.. Bryan's return Saturday
evening from Clovis, he was taken at
cnce to the home of Judge Wm. II.
Pope. where he was entertained at
dinner. At the table were Mr.. aid
Mrs. John w. Poe. Mr.. and Mrs. G.. l..
WHY'S, J. S. Lea. Mayor G. A. Rich
ardsoa. A. l.. HUH, jr.. Mr.. Bryan and
Judge and Mrs. Pope. From the home
of Judge Pope. Mr.. Bryan went to
the Armory, where the big audience
was in waiting. The ticket sales show
that about $50 people were out to
hear him the second night.
The subject of the second even
inss lecture was THE Price of
Soul" 1t found much more favor with
the audience than did the lecture on
Prince of Peace" and all who heard
the Saturday night address have on
ly words of highest praise for the
speaker. Concluding the regular ad
dress. Mr.. Bryan took up the different
forms of taxation and gave general
discussion of them, instructive and
apparently with an absence of any ar
gumentative strain that gave the ad-
dress favor with members of all polit-
ical parties. Many people state thai
they would have been glad to have
listened the third night to the great
orator.
Mr. Bryan arose early Sunday
morning and was entertained by a
group of prominent citizens, chief a.
nong them Being Mayor G. A. Rich
ardson. Ex-Treasurer J. s. Lea, Coun-
ty Commission VIM. NJ Atkinson and
Sheriff c. L. Ballard. This party and
several others were in a photograph
taken of the Commoner In front OF
The Gilkeson Sunday rnorning. These
gentlemen also acted as an escort to
Mr. Bryan on his way out of the city
going far as South Spring. through
the orchards and alfalfa fields east.
Mr.. Bryan was delighted with his
visit in Roswell and was especially
pleased with the farms east OF town.
He was simply eHghted with his
trip through the farms and as the
party was leaving Capt. Charles de
Bremond's place. the Conmoner said:
isn't this lovely? These beautiful
surroundings remind me of an in
scription I saw in the most beautiful
palace of India. which, It seems to
me, Capt. Breznond should have on
his porch or in one of his rooms.
