SUMTER'S YOUNG GAMERS

OF fhe records made recently by
young members of the Sumter County
Girls Canning Club the people of the
county should be exceptionally proud.
This is an achievement on the part Of
the young people of the county which
should prove OF great advantage to
them.
The records show that recently at
the Georgia Corn Show in Atlanta and
the Interstate Fair at Columbus two
Sumter county girls made exceptional
~ good records. These young ladies'
are the Misses jamie and Dannie Wick
err. In Atlanta a prize of $25 was
awarded to them for the best exhibit
of canned goods in that class, and
$2.5O- for the neatest record.
In Columbus a prize of SIS for sim
| liar exhibits was won by these young
ladies. Their achievements also in
clude a free scholarship in the brief
session of the State Agricultural Col
/ lege in Athens in January Taken all
| together these things are worthy Of
/ the young people of Sumter county
who are noted for their accomplish
ments in Gaming and corn growing just
as their elders have exceptionally good
records for practical and profitable
farming.
The work of the canning club and
the corn club should not be allowed t.
lag. Sumter has been a pioneer coun-
ty in organizing and maintaining a
corn club for boys. 1t has also made
as is shown above, an enviable recorj
this year in canning. No better slim
uli could be given to the young peo-
pie of this section than these tive
wholesome and helpful occupations.
Let the work of the canning clut
and the corn club be fostered in every
possible way 1t is work that is EN-.
inently worth while. The young farm.
ers wives of the future should gair
valuable training in this endeavor i
should serve to aid in a most practica
way in bringing about a solution o.
the high cost of living which is prov.
ing so great a problem to the people o
to-day.

OUR SISTERS ACROSS THE COUNTER

not take proper interest in serving
customers" They lose sight of the
fac, that the girls are giving out their
nerve f5rce and energy, and they take
it without anything in return.
kindly manner in asking for what
one desires to buy, smiling, kindly
explanation that it is not just what one
wants, viii go far towards making the
task seem a pleasure
If you would really know a woman,
after having seen her in a number OF
different settings, go shopping with
her, if she comes through that ordeal
and has not acted as though the per-
son on the other side of the counter
was a different order of being than her
self, it is pretty safe to pass judgment
on her. Remember that the woman
who does not have to stand behind the
counter all day is supposed to have
enough leisure, at least to be polite;
a nd when we hear a number of sales
women express a dislike for serving
certain women there is generally just
cause for their remarks.
A saleswoman described a particular
club woman and asked her name,
when she learned the identity of the
customer she said, 81 have always
heard of her being so sweet and lovely,
but found her difficult to serve and
very rude" And so these few words
are penned with the hope that all of
us may resolve to treat our sisters
across the counter with the considera-
ton that we would desire if we had to
change places with them. And if their
oyer-w wrought nerves lead them into an
error, let us try to turn the tide in the
other direction by remembering that
soft answer ayaileth much, and as we
drink the wine of love from the cup OF
life let us spill little on the way
Since life is short we need to
make it broad,
Since life is brief we need to make
it bright"

How many of us realize the true re-

the women and girls with whom We
come in daily contact with only a
counter separating US?
Too few of us give enough thought
to this subject, and until we do realize
the relationship we will keep on set
ting separate standards of behaviour
for ourselves and them. If We would
get a really clear vision of ourselves,
let us mentally change places and
watch ourselves 60 by.
SO much has been said and written
about the attitude of the women who
serve in different capacities in the
commercial world that it seems timely
to say something about the women who
. are served. And the burdsn of evil
dence seems to be with the women be-
hind the counter, for they cite many

MlpING OUT SECTIONAL LAWS

This session of Congress has SO far
been notably marked by steps taken by
the Senate and by the House to strike
from the statute books punitive laws
passed during bitter days Of and i'm
mediately after the Civil War and
aimed to humiliate and embarrass the
Southern people.
The House the other day passed the
Watkins bill, which permits Southern
people to prosecute their claims for
property seized after the war ended by
Union soldiers and agents without the
question of their loyalty being consid-
cred. Under the old statute, if the
Southerner could not show that he was
loyal TO the Union, he was virtually
kicked out of court with his claim
There are 100000 in claims involved
in changing this statute.
The Senate has not been far behind
the House in taking steps to efface all
sectional feeling, despite the fact a
majority of that body are adherents nj
the Republican party. In considering
the Omnibus Claims bill the upper
chamber has agreed to an amendment
| which directs the Government to pay
the heirs of Confederate generals who
resigned from the Union army and
afterward joined the South certain
claims under the longevity allowance
Under this amendment the heirs OF
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will get $43S, the
descendants of Stonewall Jackson 1922
and those of Gen. Joseph Wheeler 1910
The total amount involved in this bill
is about 100000, and this sum will GO
to the children and grandchildren oil
the officers of the Confederate Army
who were graduates of West Point Oh
who were in the Union Army before
the war started. The claims must D.
proved in the Court of Claims.
The old statute, which Senator John
ston, of Alabama, succeeded in getting
the Senate to agree to amend prevent
ed the United States Treasury officials
from recognizing the claims of the
Southern warriors who had been Union
soldiers before 1860 for longevity pay
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts
was one of the men who strongly sup
ported the Albanian in getting the
Senate to accept his amendment.
There have been one or two propo-
sitions offered here with a most ad-
mirable purpose, directed toward the
obliteration, if they have not already
been obliterated, of the old feelings Of
the Civil War times" said Senator
Lodge. The statute which the Sena.
tor seeks to repeal is statute whicr
was passed in war times think We
can all say it was a natural statute Il
be passed, but it was distinctly a pun
tive measure statute, and it seems t.
me that now the time has come wheI
we can remove from our statutes al
that were of punitive nature
think We had better efface it from tn,
statute book, not for the purpose 0
giving these small sums of money, bu
to remove that result of the old war
time feeling"
