cessfully completed negotiations, Maj.
Finley is on his way to the Phillip
pines with an autograph letter from
the sultan to the Moros which will I'M
doubtedly s@ttle this point for the flu
ture.
In the debate concerning the early
independence, the Moros are a factor
that can't be ommitted They have
never been conquered, but our govern
ment has them subdued to a degree
that was never possibl undef Spanish
rule. Were the stupendous blunder
made of granting independence to the
Philippines eight years hence, the
withdrawal of United States rule
would be signalized by savage and de-
structive raids by the fanatical Moros
Between them and the other inhabit-
ants of the islands there is no point Of
contact, and in case of a too early
granting of independence to the Phil
ippines the Moro raids and incompe-
tency and political rivalries among the
Filipinos would be sufficient to wreck
the government, wholly apart from in
vasion or Interference from the out
side.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
youths Companion.)


A government inspector, who was
investigating a fraudulent fail-order
scheme, recently questioned many
women who had been robbed by the
company. Some of the women expect
ed sympathy; they received instead, a
sharp rebuke
Didn't you know" the inspector
asksd that you couldn't buy an arti-
Gle like that for a dollar? You know
the value of such goods in reliable
stores; you know that the price IS
about the same everywhere. How did
you expect mail order concern to
sell you the same thing at fifth of
the regular price? We're you trying
10 get something for nothing?"
The question was a fair one. A
writer on economic subjects has dc
clared that he desire to get something
for nothing is the fundamental inn
morality of life" Every woman should
remember that remark AS far as
shopping is concerned there are some
times legitimate bargains-if the shop
per is willing to pay the price for
them in time and strength. At the
end of the season and at stock taking
time almost every large store has
clearance sales, at which goods that
are LETT over are sold at reduced pric-
es; occasionally, also, special oppor-
tunities' arise, and the shopper who
watches for them, and who buys only
of trustworthy firms, can get good
value for her money.
The immortality of trying to obtai",
something for nothing is just as rel
in the other activities of life as it is III
shopping. There are no short cuts TO
intellectual success-there are not ev-
en- any stock-taking or end-of-the-
season sales there! A person must
pay for each requirement by months
and years of toll There are no bar
gains in friendship. 4 girl who woT:l
have friends must show herself FRIEND
ly. There are no special opportunit-
les for fullness of life; it is won only
Ebv greatness of service.
Not bargains, but honest values
honesty paid for, in any department cf
life-that should be the object Of any
girl or woman who wishes to make a
success of living.

TANNING THE M0ROS
Good Will of Savage Tribe Secured by
United States Army Officer
(Leslie's Weekly.)

NLeSIl6 > NcShlg >
The wild Mohammedian Moro tribes
of the Philippines have been the great
est obstacles to orderly and peaceful
government in the archipelago. The
Spaniards never succeeded in subdu-
ing them, and prior to American con-
troll of the islands the Moros made
periodic raids upon the Filipinos. The
United States has been very success
full in keeping them quiet, and to this
end the direction and assistance of
the government in securing them an
economic independence such as they
never before enjoyed has been no
small factor. Maj, John B. Finley, U.
S. A., who has had charge of this del
icate mission, has inspired the good
will of the natives to such an eXteat
that they have styled him father and
teacher"
Despite all assurances, the Moros,
who are Mohammedians, could not be
wholly convinced that they were to be
left undisturbed in their religion, and
to overcome this uneasiness Maj. Fin
ley undertook a special mission to the
Sultan OF Turkey, the head of Turk
ish Mohammedianism. Having sue

A REASON TO REJOICE


Throughout the country the people
are coming to realize that this is 60
ing to be a good crop year, unless IN
forseen and unexpected disasters mar
the present hopeful conditions. The
people of Sumter county and of Geor-
gia and of the United States believe
this. AS the Atlanta Journal says:
Kansas is piping loudly of prospe.-
ity and naturally so, for Government
reports estimate that the wheat yield
of that commonwealth will this year
amount to nearly one hundred and
eighteen million bushels. And by the
same token" comments the Baltimore
Sun, there is promise of a record
breaking wheat crop throughout the
great central winter-wheat area. 1t is
Fexpected that the winter wheat crop
which will be harvested between the
twentieth of June and the tenth OF
July, will exceed five hundred and fly
million bushels"
If new assurance of plentiful year
| n inE ~, fnr h. Sc
business interests, were needed, surely
such evidence as this would suffice. II
1909, the record twelvemonth. fol
wheat production in the United States
the total yield was seven hundred ant
thirty-seven million, one hundred an.
seventy thousand bushels. Ac
cording to the present outlook, tn,
yield for the current year will excea.
eight hundred and fifty million bush
e,s; and, as one observer remarks
the winter wheat crop is so nearl!
made that danger from drought or in
sects is regarded as being past"
The prospect for abundant food har
vests of all kinds and throughout tn
country is cheering. In Georgia
weather conditions were rather ua
favorable until a few weeks ago, bu
timely showers have heartened til,
farmers in most counties; and, wha
is even more important, the progress
of scientific methods of cultivation an,
of the system of diversified crops has
made the average farmer far more in
dependent than in some seasons gon,
by. The year 1913 will be memorial,
in Georgia agriculture for its wide va
riety Of food crops. We shall produce
less cotton, it appears, but we shall
i produce more food-stuffs-an unmis
taxable omen of our upward trend.

PISTOL PLAY AT PARTY
MAY RESULT IN Death
Three Negroes Shot Serious.

school entertainment last night OF
the Heath plantation at Century, four

dulged in pistol play which may result
fatally to two brothers, Glen Harrell
and BOisy Harrell
Both the Harrels were shot BY
Murray, as was also an old negro

serious.
Sheriff Moreland hurried to the
scene of the shooting as soon as the
tragedy was reported to him here,
but despite diligent search for Muir
Ray, the fugitive could not be located.
and at this hour is still at liberty.
Every effort was being made by She
riff Moreland to locate Murray.

element among the many negroes at.

SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS
WHY NOT YOU :?

The Editor Of the Cotton
and Cotton Oil News, of
Dallas, Texas, states in his.
paper that he knows Of a
farmer who sold ten bales
of certified cotton to the
Southern States Cotton Cor
pOratiOn when cotton was
12c. He received $45 cash
per bale and $50 in script.
He was offered 75c on the
dollar for his script, took it
and thus received $3.50 per
bale for his cotton, or 81 so
per bale more than the mar
ket price less 81 per bale for
Certification, or a net profit
over his neighbors who
sold by the old system of
$4,000. We wish to say
that no one connected with
the corporation is permitted
to dis count script at any
time. WhatthoSe who hold
scrip wish to do with it is
a matter entirely beyond
the control of the corpora
ton. MIR. Farmer, don't
delay seeing the represen-
tativeS of the Southern
States Cotton Corporation
in your county. List your
cotton at once.

SAGE TEA WILL
.DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural CoIor--Dandruf.
Quickly Removed.t

There Is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage tor restoring the color of the
hair. Our grsndmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use Of
simple ''Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made a brew
of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully Beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort TO
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making thetea- This
is done by skillfuI chemists better thar
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-nade
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
or1f, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded # the
remedy IS not exactly as represented.
