los ANGELES, July 6.-[Editor
Herald: It would seem important that
everyone of the 100000 or more visitors

away with them a good impression of
our city, especially from business
standpoint, and nothing so impresses a
visitor in favor of city as the absence

WRITER DEFENDS WOMAN

DENVER, July 9.-TEditor Herald:
Observer, from the safe shelter of spe-
cial masculine privilege, asks a woman
to name some constructive legislation
brought about by her sex. He seems
to forget the constructive legislation
she has accomplished all the way
through the ages whenever she has
spanked a future lawmaker into sub
lection with her maternal slipper, and
as that is about all the chance she
has ever had to make laws, Observer
need not fear she. will neglect that
duty even for equal suffrage.

SHOO FLY SCHEDULE MAY BE
CHANGED.
Effort May be Made to That Effect
Have Train Make Stop of an Hour
In Sumter to Make Connection With
Trains Into That Place.

That there may be change in the
schedule Of the Shoe Fly train on the
Atlantic Coast Line which runs be-
tween Orangeburg and Florence is now
xery likely. 1t is believed that the
change which is contemplated will
mean much to the city of Orangeburg
and there will be an effort made to
have the change made
AS the schedule now stands, this
train leaves the city in the morning
a little before 8 o'clock, and returns
to the city a little after 10 O'Clock.
The change which is proposed, is to
have the train leave the city in the
morning at 8 o'clock, and returning,
make stop in Sumter of about an
hour. and reach this city a little later
than at present.
This change will mean more busi-
ness for the train, and also will mean
more convenience for people coming
into this city. who are now forced to
spend the night in Sumter or Florence,
on account Of the fact that the Shoe
Fly leaves those places too early for
them to make connection. BY the
stop in Sumter Of an hour, persons
coming into that place from Darling
to, and from the Wilmington side.
who desire to come on to Orangeburg
Will be given an opportunity to do So
AS 1t is now, they are forced to re-
main in Sumter or Florence until the
next morning.
The schedule as it now stands is
all right, so far as the morning time
is concerned, but as the winter comes
on, 1t will be rather early to leave
the city, and the o'clock schedule
for leaving this place will be more
appealing.
There will be little delay in the
arrival Of the train in this city at
night but there be no kick on the
part of the crew as to this, as it is
stated that the road bed and rails
on this run are in excellent condition,
and that the hour delay in Sumter
could be cut down by half on the ar
rival Of the train here. as it is believ-
ed that a half hour could be made
up In the run, making the train reach
here not more than 40 minutes later
than it does now.
At any rate there will be a trial to
have this change made, and it is be-
lieved that the officials will take some
consideration Of the proposition.--Or-

Counterfeit vs.. Genuine.

But the worst enemies of religion
are not those who turn away in dis
gust from it's perversions. mot they
are profane who reject the gods of
the vulgar, but they who accept
them," says Lucretius. Yet it may
he partly question of words, it will!
not do to conclude that they hate
music. They may love it all too well
to listen. And, if I hold up some the
illogical daub, and tell them that 1t is
portrait Of Deity, will it be strange If
they take me at my word, and cry
out. "Then we are atheists?" Yet
when did men ever deny or doubt the
reality Of the universe, merely because
science gave absurd of inadequate ex-
planations?-Charles G. Ames.

Making Pea Hay.

Let the peas grow till the pods turn

easy to cure we'll than cOwpeas, not

trivances to spoil them.

who said that he would not have barn
room for his pea crop and wanted to
know If they would keep well stacked
He really answered his own question

and they heated and steamed. But to
his surprise, he found that they cured

perfectly. If he had opened the stacks
and tried to cool them off, he would
doubtless, have had modly hay.
Now the peas in the morning, and,
if possible, put tedder behind the
mower to keep them tossed up and
hasten the whiting. Rake the morn
ing moving into windrows that after
noon. Turn them the next morning
and let lie till afternoon while cutting
more. Cock them that afternoon, and
when the hay in the cocks can be
taken and twisted hard, and no sap
runs to the twist, haul them in. If
to go into stacks, make the stacks
we'll, and rake down the sides, but
cover the tops of the stacks with
straw or dry hay. This hay will cure,
even If the stacks heat. Put some
rails under the stacks to keep the hay
off the ground and prevent its absorb
ing moisture from the ground, and
you have as good hay as in the barn.

Some of the newspapers are very

THE FARMER WHO LOVES THE

The Possibilities OF the South Yet Un.
realized by Southern People.

Messrs. Editors: How many things
there are to be seen from a car win
dow that are of interest to the farm
err. To one who loves his soil--as all
farmers should love the soil--will
come moments of discouragenDnt as
his train rushes past abandoned hills
and CALLED hillsides. But directly
come into the picture a beautiful lit
tie piece of grass and well-kept fields
of forage crops. The hills will be
clothed in living green and cattle will
be seen grazing there. A moment
more and the white cottage will ap-
pear lowering at the foot of the hill.
and in that cottage lives a man that
we know loves his soil. With that
man lives a woman who loves him as
ne loves her. They are living togeth-
er here in this little Eden as God or
dained they should. loving their God
their children. one another, and their
little piece of land; and as We pass
along We thank the Creator for giving
us this glimpse Of this typical Amer
lean farm home.
I am writing this as our train is
passing down out of the mountains Of
Tennessee into the rich Piedmont Sec
tion of Alabama where men have not
begun to realize what riches and hap
piness await the farmer who will
plow and cultivate these deep, red
soils as he should who will sow acres
and acres of cowpeas. clover, and al
falfa. who will feed these rich legume
hays to good cattle and sheep, save
the manure carefully and apply to
other fields where he will plant king
| corn. When the time comes that he
| will do this, we shall hear less of

times today because of the crop far

quarter corn with which to feed his

basis to start with.
Let Us Welcome the Help of the

I was candid enough to confess to
DR.. Hartman that ignorance is the
long suit at our farm. We try this
and that and something else, but what
one short life provides time to try is
only an infinitesimal portion of what
We ought to know. We cannot on
the farm experiment to the same
profitable and satisfactory end that
men at the stations can, where all
instruments and all previous expert
ments are available.
We need many things on the farms
of North Carolina and on the farms
Of the whole United States. and prob
ably nothing Is more imperatively
needed than more Of Conover to help
us see things. and more Of the farm
bulletins, to tell US what has been
done by others in digging out the sim
pie facts of agricultural theory and
practice.
