Why Envy?

Your neighbor's homeP Don't
curse your luck because your
neighbor has a cozier home than
you. Luck isn't to blame
neither is your neighbor. You,
and you only, are to blame for
the wretchedness of your home
and the misery of your family if
you continue to put up with pres
ent conditions. We can make
your home just as coy, just as
pretty, just as pleasant as any
home you have ever seen; regard
less of your financial condition
And the change can take place at
once-tomorrow, if you. say the
word.

Editorial Opinion
WHY NOT SMYRNA?


From the Smyrna Times
Why is not Smymas Board of Trade
np and doing and putting on their bid
for Welch's Grape Juice factory which
is offering 10 bring their 100000 plant
TO Delaware if the farmers guarantee
10 plant thousand acres in grapes
This vicinity took the lead in grape oul-
hlre when the late Joseph +. Carter
gave it an impetus. Since then nearly
600 acres have been set ont and grape
culture has become one of the most
profitable crops TO our farmers Dover
claims TO have about 800 acres in grapes
and are also after the Welch plant.
Smyrna should be after il and maybe
it is not too late if some concerted ac-
tion is taken, but SMYRNA will never
get it Of anything else if our progressive
citizens sit with arms folded and do not
make the move. The time for action is
now When il is considered that Smyr-
ma has only 400 acres 10 gain to guar
antce the 900 acres wanted and with
our excellent rail and water facilities
the location for the grape juice factory
naturally belongs here.
A MISSION FOR A COMMISSION.
From the Dover State News
We heartily coincide. that something
must be done with our Incorporation
laws. We do not oppose The general
Incorporation law and in fact see no
reason why Il should not be even
broader in is encouragement of indus
tries and new enterprises of all char
acter. Inventors, manufacturers, pub
fishers and legitimate mining and farm.
ing undertakings need this law.
There is. however, too much leeway
forlcrooks TO get in and get start un-
der the great seal and great name of the
state of Delaware
An amendment concerning mutual
lire insurance companies was recently
made but it merely required the word
mutual on the policy
Who is TO get at the required amend
mentsy No close friend who is profit
ing by the existence OF the law and no
enemy who wants it repealed altogether
should be allowed to tamper with IT,
We suggest that Governor Miller ap-
point commission of tolunteers- bust
ness men. lawyers and accountants to
strdy conditions relating to our and
other Incorporation laws and propose
for ms some safeguarding OF the states
sovereign powers from plungers and
plunderers
1t would be an unusual commission.
OF course, but this is an unusual mis-
sion.

QUAIL TRAINED TO FIGHT.
India Natives Starve the Birds While
Training Them

In India-that land of so many
strange things-the natives take
keen delight in training quail to fight
each other and make wagers on the
bird they think will win. No doubt,
you have seen two roosters ruf1e up
their feathers and fly at each other in
their barnyard; we'll, in India, the
quail are encouraged to do the same
thing by the cruel natives.
And they train them to be good
fighters in a most peculiar way. First
young quail is taught to eat millet
seed from the hand of his master.
Then, after he has become accustom-
ed to being handled and to pick up
the seed, he is placed on table, or
on the floor, upon which is small
mirror and several seed.
The quail has not been fed Tor
some time so, as soon as he spies the
seed he makes for them. But just
as he is about to pick them up his
master puts his hand over them and
takes them away. He does this over
and over again until the poor bird is
almost frantic for something to eat.
Then the master repeats the trick,
but holds up the mirror so the quail
can not help but see himself in it.
And he, poor, hungry, deluded crea-
ture, thinks his own reflection is an
other quail that is about to pick up
the seed just as lie is about to pick
them up. So, enraged, he flies at the
mirror.
Then an older and a thoroughly
trained quail is brought on and-the
young quail attacks him, thus receiv-
ing his first lesson in fighting. Like
game roosters, the quail have long
and sharp spurs; and often one bird
kills another in fight, while the
natives crowd around and make wag-
ers and utter cries of delight and en-
couragement to their chosen fighter.

Not Real Fighting.
Olar, August Is

The conversation drifted to do
nestle infelicity a few nights ago
when Senator Luke Lee, of Tennes-
see, told a story which would seem
to indicate that there is mistaken
idea as to what constitutes real
family fight, says the, Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
Down in one of the Southern states
recently, so ran the senator's narra-
tive, colored man and his wife
were haled into court on charge of
disturbing the peace.
"Rastus," said the magistrate, ad-
dressing the husband, you are ac-
cused of disturbing your entire neigh
borhood on Tuesday night. What
have you got to say for yourself?"
''It wah dis way, jedge," explained
Rastus, glancing first at the magis-
trate. and then at his wife. 'Me an
Lucy got into an Argument obah de
coin she got fo' a weeks wash. She
call me a lazy loafah, an l slap her
down fiat. Up she hop, an smash a
skillet on my haid, an draps me fiat.
Den up l riz an welt her wild a
chaih leg at me, which she flung tea
kittle at me, which scald quite con-
siderable'
81 see," commented the magis-
trate, And then what happened?"

with great deliberation, "an' den we

What Did He Mean.

"T Two men got into a fight in
front of the bank to-day" said a
merchant at the family tea table,
land l tell you it looked pretty nasty
for one of them. The bigger one
seized a huge stick and brandished it..
I felt that he was going to knock the
others brains out, and I jumped in
between them"
The family had listened with rapt
attention, and as the head paused in
his narrative the younger heir, whose
respect for his fathers bravery is
unreasonable, proudly remarked.
He couldn't knock any brains out
of you could he, father?"-Yonkers
Gazette.

CARD FROM DR.. HARTZOG.
Saws His Cook not Man Wanted by
Georgia Authorities.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: Whereas the piece from
Barnwell headed Governor Blease
Says Nay" in the Sunday News, is an
injustice to the Governor as well as
myself, in making the construction
that I am sustained by the Governor
in defending and protecting an alleg-
ed negro murderer, who fed from
Justice in Richmond County, Ca, last
December, I take this opportunity of
denying the allegation. I have under
my employ negro cook who happens
to have the same name as the negro
sought by the Georgia officials, but
does not answer the description OF
the man wanted. Also, I have fur
nished Governor Blease with conclu-
sive evidence that the negro under
my employ was not in Richmond
County, Ga, at the time the crime
was committed. The circumstances
being as above stated, could not see
why an innocent negro who was born
and raised in this locality and who
bears a good reputation here should
be imprisoned, thereby depriving me
of his services and putting me to
extra trouble and expense. If there
had been any evidence of guilt l
would not have raised any objection.
I did not feel like being imposed up
on so I called up Governor Blease
in the presence of the sheriff and
stated the facts. The Governor ruled
that the sheriff has no right to make
the arrest without requisition papers.
l appreciate the ruling of the Govern
or, and not one word of criticism
against his action has been heard
here. The Barnwell correspondent
probably had a dream to this effect.
The man under my employ can be
found in Olar at any time for the
purpose of Identification.

GOVERNOR BLEASE SAYS NAY.
Tells Barnwell Sheriff Can't Arrest
Alleged Georgia Fugitive.

Barnwell, August 16.-Governor
Blease has placed Sheriff ]. B. Morris,
of this county, in very embarrassing
position by his refusal last night to
allow the Barnwell official to arrest
an alleged murderer from Georgia,
Sheriff Morris had been requested by
the sheriff of Richmond County, Geor-
gia, to be on the lookout for Will
Rush, a negro, who is charged with
having committed murder last De-
cember. Rush was located at Olar
and a warrant for his arrest was sent
to the sheriff here. Capt. Morris went
to Olar last night to get his man and
found him in the employ of DR.. Lay
ton Hartzog. Dr.. Hartzog objected
to being deprived of his cook, and
asked that he be allowed to COM
municate with Governor Blease. He
cid this over the telephone and the
Governor informed Capt Morris that
he had no right to arrest the negro
without requisition papers. Governor
Blease, it is said, told DR.. Hartzog
that if requisition papers were got
ten out that he would set date for
hearing-that as the Georgia Off
GERS refused to arrest fugitives want
ed in this State they would be. &C
corded the same treatment, the refer
ence doubtless being to the Zachry
case. Having no other recourse Sher-
if Morris was obliged to leave Olar
without his prisoner.
The affair has caused considerable
adverse criticism of the Governor,
both here and at Olar. In addition
Sheriff Morris is embarrassed over
not being able to arrest men for the
Georgia authorities, who, he says,
have always done all that they could
to assist him in arresting criminals
wanted in this county.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1913-08-21

vines clustered over great columns,
and it was set in a rich wilderness of
foliage. The devotion that both Jack
son and his wife felt for this place is
almost pathetic. When he was ap-
pointed governor of Florida in 1921
and had to go there to live we find
them both longing for their sunny
home in Tennessee. And in 1928,
when Jackson was nominated for the
presidency, his wife regretted that his
election would mean leaving the Her
mitage.
Jackson's political enemies were
not slow to make capital of the story
of his wifes divorce. 1t seems a
curious thing that after more than
thirty years of blameless happiness
so much could have been made of so
small a thing. But stories were told
and printed up and down the country
that form a, pitiable commentary on
the political ethics of the day. Jack
son did his best to shield his wife
from all knowledge of the wretch
ed tales, but one day while she was in
the parlor of an inn in Nashville she
overheard two men in the next room
discussing her with the easy assur-
ance with which we treat our public
men and their families. Her horror
at the things they said brought on
heart attack-she had for some time
been in precarious health-and a few
days later she died.
Jackson had already been elected
president. The gray-haired fighters S
grief over his wife's death was bound
less, and more than one man and Wo-
man who had been instrumental in
spreading the stories felt the weight
of his wrath in later days in Wash
ington. No man, indeed, ever ven
tured to question woman's repu-
tation in the presence of the presi-
dent, it is said, and there are tales OF
men who were deprived of Office for
this very thing. "Old Hickory" al
ways a chevalier, became the cham
pion of women everywhere and so re-
mained until his death.-Kansas City
