THE HERITAGE OF DISHONOR.

OF all the diseases, real or fancied,
which, flesh or spirit is heir to, per-
haps the worst of all is that of insin-
cerity and dishonesty. And in this re-
gard sincerity is to be distinguished
from the narrow bigotry, to which the
name sincerity is often applied Gen

prisoner when arraigned recently in a
Savannah court Under many circum-
stances the above plea would imme-
diately suggest to even the novice in
criminology familiar dodge that is
often attempted by the confirmed Grim

sympathy in hypocritical manner Yet
there are undoubtedly times when
such plea has back of it world of
pathos and human appeal.
The strongIwilled man in looking
upon weaker brother who makes
such a plea might call to mind the
masterful and militant words of Will

For my unconquerable soul"
or Tenyson's
For man is man, and master of his
fate"
But is the man brought up in the
very depths of sin and degradation as
much a master of his will and soul as
the man who has been more favorably
nurtured?
Modern science has undoubtedly
demonstrated the marked influence
which heredity may have on the hui

UNCLE SAM GROWS
TO BE A BANKER
Every Day Now Adds to His
Wealth.

| Washington, ID. c., November I'll
Uncle Sam is already engaged in one
phase of the banking business pretty
heavily although no postal savings
banks have yet been established
The annual report of the auditor for
the United States postal department,
recently issued shows that during the
year 1910, which, ended June 80, up
ward of half billion dollars was in
| volved in money order transactions.
There were 77,5S5,321 domestic
money orders issued by postmasters
throughout the United States, for an
aggregate of $55S,17S,O28; and 1892
318 international money orders, paga-
BILE in foreign countries, were also is
sued for an aggregate of $S9,55S, 299
On the paying side of the auditors
ledger is found a statement that 49,
061 500 domestic money orders were
cashed by postmasters, having an ag-
gregate value of $563, 397,877, and
that 399,851 international money or
dere, issued by foreign countries and
| payable in the United States, calling
for a total of $9,685, 48O, were received
and honored by Uncle Sans post
masters.
Since the postal savings bank law
was enacted, many postmasters, in
making application to have postal
savings banks established in their Of
fees, stated that they had been acting
as bankers for a number of people
through the sale of money orders, and
that money which is now being used
to buy money orders would find it's
way into the postal savings banks
when they were established
That purchasers of money orders do
not cash them Immediately is shown
by the fact that during the last fiscal
year the number of orders paid ex-
ceeded the number issued by 76,SSS,
and the amount of the orders paid ex
ceeded those issued by $5,219,S49.
Another fact shown. by the auditors
report is that large sums of money
are sent to foreign countries, compar-
atiyely little of which finds its way
back the number of international
money orders issued exceeded thos
paid by 3,432 ,467, while the amount
called for by the international money
orders issued exceeded that of those
paid by .$79, 1893, S19, the folks at home,
presumably being enriched to that
extent by native of foreign countries

THE SOUTH AS A CORN CENTER.

In no department of farm operations
has the effectiveness of the work of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
campaign of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture been better shown
than in the Souths increased harvests
of corn.
The figures obtained by the federal
Department of Agriculture are espe-
cially eloquent in this particular. They
show that the nine Southern states.
Virginia, North Carolina. Georgia, Ala
5ama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ankaa-
sas and Texas, have an increase of
los. 294,000 bushels of corn, which is
45 per cent. of the total increase for
the year throughout the entire United
States.
In each of the foregoing states the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
work has been conducted in the man.
ner which has been outlined by the
government experts. The increased
yield of corn is an eloquent tribute 10
the superiority of modern scientific
methods over the old "hit-or-miss
plan. Even a novice can see that in
this field the aid of the federal gov
eminent to the South has been of very
great value.
The awakening of interest in corn
culture in Sumter county has been
greatly facilitated by the prize con
test which was held here during the
past season. The quickening of in
terest among the farmers here has moi
been greater than in many other sec
tions of this state and other neighibor-
ing states, especially South Carolina
which now holds the record yield fol
the entire world
Improved farm machinery, the dy
namiting of land to be given over II
corn culture, the investigation of new
and improved methods of agriculture
, have all been brought to the atten
ton of Southern farmers, and hay'
contributed their share toward adding
to this sections prosperity not onl.
in the culture of corn, but also in tn
growing of cotton and other crops
Sumter has already achieved a success
, of which it may we'll be proud, bu
the re-awal1ening is just beginning
Let the farmers of this section striv
5 for new laurels during the coming yea
in the widespread and peace-givint
struggle for agricultural independence
: which is making the Southland tn
most progressive section of the ma
ton.

Where do You keep your dreams. my

Your face is lit, and for very joy
Your feet are swift in the vac and

Tell me, pray, where your dreams may

And I share them not with the

They bless my waking and thread my

GOLD WITHOUT THE
MINING OF COTTONSEED
Dr. SOule Grows Eloquent on
COttOnSeed.

Atlanta, Ga, November 21.-Dr. A..
Nj. Soule, president of the State Agri-
cultural College at Athens, probably
the best posted authority on the value
.of Southern agriculture, has just writ
ten a most interesting article entitled
Gold Without the Minting,' which is a
splendid tribute to the value of cotton
seed lby1products. DR.. Soule draws the
comparison between the yellowness OF
the precious metal and the rich yellow
color of the cotton seed meal when Z
comes fresh from the oil mills of the
South. He compares the value of the
two ystating number of uses to
which cotton seed meal may he put
with a minimum cost.
In part this article is as follows:
"of these by-products. cotton seed
meal is one of the most important on
account of the variety of uses to which
| it may be put for the maintenance of
live stock and the Improvement of the
fertility of the land AS a food stuff
il will improve the ration of horses.
and males, beef and dairy cattle,
sheep, poultry, and to some extent,
swine as well. AS a fertilizer it pro-
Yides cheap and most desirable form
of organic nitrogen, and has the Id
vantage of combining admirably with
any form of fertilizing material on thu
market There is no other single by
product produced in America SO rich
in feeding and fertilizer constituents
or which is adapted to anything like
the variety of uses to which cotton
seed meal can be put with advantage
on the part of the farmer.
1T is certainly a wise provision O
nature that a farmer should be able
to feed a ton of cottonseed meal, Sc
cure the highest efficiency from it,
use, and at the same time return Il
his land IS per cent of all the fertil
zing constituents it contains, provided
he takes proper care of the droppings
from his animals A ton of cotton sees
meal is worth at least $50 for feed anC
fertilizing purposes. In proportion t.
the market price it now commands
there is no concentrate which the far.
mer can buy and utilize for feed anj
fertilizer which insures him so large
a return. 1t is indeed gold withou
the minting to the man who uses il
lintelligently."

Soon after this Mr. Wrigglesworth and
wife moved to Sierra valley. Here they
remained until the winds and clouds
indicated heavy snow storms. During
this time their oldest daughter Clara
was born.
From Sierra valley they went to Lin
den, San Joaquin county, where they
settled on some valuable land near
Mission bridge. They lived here until
March, 1871, when selling out, they
went back to the state of Michigan,
where they remained four years. During
this time their Oldest son Joe was born,
and the second daughter Sadie, now the
wife of Harry Putnam.
In 1876 he returned to California, ac-
companled by James Mccullough, and
his sister Martha Mitchell Mrs
WrIgglesWorth remained behind. Soon
after his wife and three children fol-
lowed him. They lived at Amador City
for short time. Here their youngest
son Claude was born.
Shortly after this, firing of the place,
they moved and settled upon government
land now known as Aukum in Ell Dorado
county, where he lived the balance OF
his days, He was the principal promo
ter, builder and owner of what is known
as the Aukum telephone company. 1t
extends for upwards of 30 miles in
length with numerous branches leading
from it. Mrs Wrgglewsorth has held
the post Office of that place since its
Inauguration, and creditably too at that
Mr. wrigglesworth, like all of human
kind had his faults, but he was a good
neighbor, warm hearted and generous.
With his passing goes another leaf from
the tree of our existence, one too
that has seen with other pioneers, the
state in its babyhood, that is now evolu-
ting into all grandeur and greatness,
and when the pioneer leaves have been
swept from the branches of the tree of
primitive wilderness, the NatiJe sons
and Daughters only wonder when tIey
look at the shorn branches whittier
hath the tree decayed and its leaves
hath gone, whittier absorbed by the de-
