Dainties
From Cotton Seed.

To what extent dead cotton leaves
may be used by man. is not yet known.
but as every other portion of the
south's staple product is now being
utilized, we need not be surprised to
learn that the mere leaves of the cot
ton stalk may prove serviceable to
mankind.
The latest experiment sounds good.
Secretary of War Dickinson, who halls
from Nashville, had a number of fell
low cabinet members out to luncheon
recently and fed his friends on bread
cake and pastry made from cotton
seed -four
We, like the Charlotte Observer. not
having seen any cotton seed -four as
yet, note with interest a description
which the Rome (Ga.) Tribune-Herald
gives of the new food product. Our
Georgia contemporary says:
Bread made from cotton-seed flour
recently received in Rome utilizes
wheat -four to the extent of fifty per
cent. Ii has a dark color and in ap-
pearance suggests something half way
between graham bread and ginger
cake. Its taste is exceedingly pleas
ant, and all who tried it have been
favorably impressed. The fact that it
costs much less than bread made en-

tirely from wheat -four is, naturally, a
strong recommendation.
We hope that the popularity of cot
ton-seed flour will spread rapidly. 1t
contains many times as much protein
or tissue-building matter as wheat
flour does and still farther exceeds
corn meal Carbohydrates, or starchy
matter is not plentiful, but in these
corn bread, potatoes, rice and nearly
all the cheapest foods abound. No one
could economic in meat so well as
the eater of cotton-seed bread. We do
not believe that it will injure the de-
mand for wheat -four, any more than
oleomargerine has injured the demand
for butter; It will, however, provide
the public with a new food product of
the highest nutritive value and intro
duce an important new element of
money value into a crop which went
all to waste except the lint not many
years ago.
This is cheering, and we should well
come it, if for no other reason than
that it will serve to compete, on
small scale, with the price of wheat
flour.
The Journal just cant help offering
to bet that a loaf of this new bread
and a dish of highly seasoned gopher
gumbo would make an epicurean deli
cacy fit for the gods

! AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
} q Q o . Q . q Q O 9 o Q q q

The supreme court of Georgia has
decided that negroes cannot use the
name knights of Pythias," among
their secert orders. It is presumed
this will also affect the negro orders
of Masons, Odd Fellows and Elks.
In our opinion the decision was
right, not only from a legal stand
point but as matter of policy. The
negroes ought to select their own
names for their secret orders and
ought not to purloin those of the
whites. There has been much indig-
nation expressed in Georgia among the
membership of the orders mentioned
on account of the use of their names
by negroes. The use of the name is
all they could get, as, of\course. they
are not familiar with the workings OF
the rituals of the orders.
The court has held that the use of
such names and emblems is an en-
croachment and Illegal, and it is pro-
bable that similar action will be taken
by other southern states.
The negro lodges have a right to
exist, but not under the names and
emblems used by the whites. They
will now be compelled to adopt new
hol4CS anu " utn ILLS Is
done they can organize as many
lodges under whatever name they
choose without objection on the part
of anybody. The negroes made a. mis-
take in the beginning in attempt to
initiate in these matters. They ought
to have known it would create trouble
and discord, and their leaders would
have done better to have proceeded
along new lines, entirely independent
of the white orders.
The negroes ought to have more
initiative and originality anyway.
They ought not depend on the white
people for everything, even to names
of their secret orders. If they would
pursue a different course, show evi.
dence of more originality. and less de-
sire to interfere with the white people
they would be more respected, and
there would be less friction between
the races.-Selma Times.

Logic, Strikes,

to say:
a contemporary heads an article,
Logic Of the Philadelphia Trouble"
There is no logic in 1t. Tens of thou.
sands Of organized union men, most
of them under actual or implied con-
tract to stick to their jobs, dropped
their tools or left their work on a
sympathetic strike to help out men
who did claim to have a grievance
Next to riotous conduct, this is the
most disturbing and weakening thing
that men can do. If their contracts
are not binding on them, If they do
not abide by their pledges, things will
come sooner or later to pass where
there will be no contracts. The OBJ
legations between labor and its en-
ployers cannot long remain one-sided.
The Journal is the contemporary"
referred to. Whatever logic there
may be in the esteemed Times re-
marks We are not prepared to state,
except that its position does not de-
tract from the "logic" of The Journals
comment on that subject.
What the Times says about broken
contracts, riotous conduct, etc, ETC., is
no doubt true. What The Journal said
was that these very things, and the
various other things that go with them,
would ultimately lead to municipal
ownership of street car lines.
That is the logic" of the present
situation and others like it. If the
Times can suggest any other ultimate
result we are interested to know what
it is.

THE LEAST OF THESE.
By Florida Pine.

Whatsoever we do to the least of
these
Ye do it unto Me-
Is the word which comes unto our
hearts
Beyond far Gallilee.
Ihe Master spake in the olden time,
To the listening hearts of men
And He tells to us in tender voice
The truths He uttered then.
The least of earth" are His little
ones"
With locks of gray or gold,
The lost and helpless We may bring
Into the sheltering fold.
Tho the child at your knee is kindly
kept
Within loves wondrous care,
There are many little ones shelterless,
Tender and just as fair.
Just as fair and pure today
AS the one you love so we'll,
Just as dear in the Masters sight
How precious none may tell.
Out in the desert ways of life
Many a souls astray,
That once was fair as the morning
Growing the broy of day.
There's many a man with darkened
Who at his mothers knee
Once knelt in childhood love and trust,
Dear as a child could be,
And many a woman lost, ali me!
To womanhood's high place
Was once as sinless as a dove,
With maidenhood's sweet grace.
But love is strong and it's power may
save,
And Christ is the same today
AS he was in the time so long ago
With ever the same kind way
Wait not but go "in His name" today,
Remember He saith to thee:
Whatever ye do to the least Of these
Ye do It unto me-"

How Often a Gentleman
Nav Get Drunk.

The New Orleans States discusses
most lucidly a much mooted question.
and this paper accepts what our con-
temporary says on the subject, How
Often Gentleman May Get Drunk"
Hear It:
Recently in the trial of contested
will case in his court Surroate Noble,
of Queens county, New York. decided
that three times year is not too
much for a gentleman to get drunk"
There are many gentlemen and whole
flocks of other bibulous individuals
who viii contend that only three
bats" per year are rather scant
rations to travel on and will protest
against such limit as has been fixed
by the judicial determination of Surro-
gate Noble.
But they should not give themselves
needless worry. 1t would be well for
them to bear in mind the fact that
there are gentlemen who are entirely
capable of making, and actually do
make, one drunk year serve the pur-
pose of three, dozen or fifty DRINKS,
without any trouble whatever. Some
persons, of course, will challenge this
statement as being utterly absurd, but
if they do it will be because they have
not reflected sufficiently to appreciate
the fact that gentleman can exercise
the privilege of starting robust drunk
on the first day of the year and keep
ing it going under steady and regular
charges of his favorite stimulant until
the first day of the following year.
This has been done and is still
being done in thousands of individual
cases with results more or less salts
factory and it is well to observe that
each case is we'll within the limit of
the judicial determination. 1t is I'M
necessary for gentleman or anybody
else to get drunk three or forty times
in year when one drunk, If properly
cultivated, can be made to span easily
the entire twelve months, and even
twelve years. AS a matter of fact
there are cases on record of a single
drunk reaching the ripe age of forty
years.
Therefore Surrogate Mobiles decision
as to how often gentleman may" get
drunk in a year is not so important as
would be an expression of opinion from
some judicial authority on how to get
drunk like a gentleman. "Why don't
like a gentleman" is the advice that
one often gives to an inebriated and
webbing friend not realizing at the
time that it is an art, the mastery of
which is given only to a few. Like
poets. these few are born, not the
products of education and training,
hence they are able to steer a graceful
ard dignified course under the pressure
of quart and half or two quarts
without any danger of a list in the
cargo throwing them on their beam
ends and making it necessary to 20
in tow of an unsympathetic policeman.
1t is hard to place the dead line" in
such cases. If a man will get drunk
and hopes to be regarded as a gentle
man thereafter, it is his risk: Diff
ferent mems opinions vary on the ques-
ton. There are some who contend
that no gentleman will get drunk.

SAGE LEAVES.

1917 Davis street, March 1S.-Wha1
striking contrast is being demon
strated at Philadelphia between the
present generation and the Original
Quaker settlers who were noted fol
brotherly love and peaceful lives.
With all our wondrous progress, and
upbuilding of churches and schools,
sometimes fear that Satan is gaining
ground through strategical maneuvers
over the inroads of temptation, bad
habits and false doctrines.
Among the crowding masses who
daily throng the stage of life, how few
will bear the proper tests of manly
men!
AS well search for a needle in a hay.
stack as to find an honest, sober, in.
dustrious, moral person-free from the
tobacco habit and baseball mania!
Our boasted personal liberty only
enables Satan to deluge the rising gen.
erations with baptism of loathsome
habits and ruination of character.
The question of bringing all children
up under the right influences Is simply
mpossible-for the reason that good
example is almost obsolete, and model
society fast becoming extinct-com-
mon sense being ignored and ruled out
or style!
If the laws required every newborn
child to be isolated from evil in
fluences and kept aloof from objection
able habits, it would be found neces-
sary to institute an Eden nursery, far
outside of our modern "civilization."
The squanderation company being
organized to disburse Rockefeller's
millions may meet with grave Car
negie competition.
The sneaking hookworms came in
on the ground floor for one million.
What other enemies of the Standard
Oil consumers will next be considered
we are unable to fortell.
Andrew Carnegie has flooded the
country with free libraries from ocean
to ocean, and from the north pole to
the Gulf of Mexico.
If the plans of contribution admit of
gifts in less quantity than million dol
lar chunks, there might be appropriate
outlets discovered among the home
less and destitute who have survived
through the many great calamities OF
earthquakes, fires and floods.
I can hardly agree with those
critics who express the opinion that
the flow of Rockefeller's wealth has
become so irresistible, through pipe
lines and other channels, that it will
be impossible to reduce the accumu.
lation.
