These OptimistS.

Admiral Schley," said an officer of
the Navy Department in Washington
had no use for the unreasoning optim-
ist-the optimist VINO won't contend
against evil, eXcusing his laziness on
the ground that all things work togeth-
er for god, and so forth.
Admiral Scvhley once tried to have
certain reforms instituted in the navy.
He found at headquarters a good deal
of the optimistic or lazy spirit, how
ever, and SO, at dinner one night, he
rebuked headquarters optimist with
a story.
"You remind me, SIR he said of
old Jimmy Traddles. Jimmy was a la
Iborer. Noon sounded one day, and he
sat down and felt in his pocket for his
lunch. But the pocket was empty:
Boys, he said, I've lost my lunch.
Then he gave a cherry laugh.
It's darned good thing I've lest
it, too he said.
Why so, mate? man asked.
Because said old Jimmy, I left
my teeth at home"

This author had been slashed in a

LET Us ALL GIVE THANKS

Looking at it from purely local
standpoint, there are many reasons
why Americas and Sumter county

giving, not only to-day but every day

of affairs, as a blockade to enter
prise and business prosperity, and
this blockade is now quite apparent
throughout the channels of trade.
The Presidential Election; the
efforts of Congress with no fixed
purpose; Organized Labor as a new
factor in politics; together with
other matters of greater or less
import, represent at this time
chaotic conflict of separate inter-
ests, to harmonic which is now the
problem before the country.

Plenty. Read with care the Gin

prints all the news each day from
