Shepherd Of the Flock Warned
by the Deacons.

Colonel Adam Harmon Of Savannah
says that when he was a boy the pas
tor of a negro church in his neighbor-
hood was detected in the act Of en-
bracing comely sister of the congre-
cation behind the church door one
night after service. The deacons
promptly convened in extraordinary
session and had the preacher up on a
charge of unbecoming and unpastoral
conduct.
The accused was at no loss for de-
Tense. He stated-and proved his
claim by the Scriptures-that a pastor
was shepherd and the members of
the congregation were his sheep. Even
the apostles were often depicted as
shepherds holding lambs in their pro-
tecting arms.
"Dis yere young lady," ne added, ''is
one oh my lam's, and wen takes her
into my arms l was jes' obeyin'. de

Seemingly there was no answering
such an argument as that The dea-
cons put their heads together and voted
unanimously to acquit the preacher.

acted as spokesman Of the tribunal,

OF ABERDEEN, GREETING:
I, the undersigned, have filed with
the city clerk my candidacy for the
nomination of mayor of the city of
Aberdeen, subject to your approval at
the city primaries, to be held March
10, 1918, and l herewith present you
my platform.
believe in the enforcement of the
ordinances of the city and the laws
Of the state applicable to good city
government. A laxity in the en-
forcement of law leads to contempt of
law, which breeds anarchy, which
means chaos and the destruction of
the government. I do not pose as
scrapper, but If any person or per-
sons, individually or collectively,
violate the law, be they high or low,
rich or poor; If am mayor l will be
there with the goods and enforce the
law.
Saloons are legalized by law; II
they obey it, they have the same right
to protection as any other lawful
business. The social evil is proihb-
tied by law, but it has existed in de-
f1ance of law SO long that the men,
DRY of man runneth not to the con-
tary and I believe it always will ex-
list until the dawn of the millennium.
I believe the best way to cope with
the evil is to place these unfortunates
in a restricted district, under strict
surveillance, instead of scattering
them all over the city.
Aberdeen Water Plant
Twice in the past. efforts have been
made by private parties to purchase
the city water plant, but strenuous
objections by the people prevented
it's sale. Now new schemes are pro-
posed. One is that If the city has not
the money to put in a permanent
water system, private parties or cor
poration will do it and furnish water
at the city limits, which water the city
shall take at price. That scheme
will not bear analysis. This is one of
the main issues in this election. !
am unalterably opposed to the city sell
ing it's water system or allowing any
private person, company or corpora
ton the right to furnish the city with
water. l am in favor of Aberdeen,

"A FAMOUS War Horse.

From an entry in Lady Shelley's
Diaries" it appears that Copenhagen.
the famous war charger Of the Duke
of Wellington, had something Of the
constitution Of his master. The day
before the battle Of Waterloo the duke
rode Copenhagen to the Prussian head
quarters to ascertain whether he might
depend upon old Blucher's cooperation.
The duke rode Copenhagen on June II
lover sixty miles. On the 18th he rode
Copenhagen throughout the entire bat
tie, and the next day he rode him to
Brussels. When the duke dismOunted
Copenhagen clicked up his heels and
scampered half over the town before
he was caught"
One day in Paris Lady Shelley rode
with the duke. who offered to mount
her on Copenhagen. But" she con-
fesses. Il found Copenhagen the most
difficult horse to sit Of any had ever
ridden. If the duke had not been there
should have been frightened

glory greater than the pleasure in rid.

A Special PRIVILEGE.

There came time in a certain cam.
paign when the managers on one side
needed $4,000 and turned to a cor.
poration source Of supply.
The need was explained by banker
who was interested in politics. The
money man of the corporation listened
and said: well, I'll give you $4,000
but I don't want to make a check for
1t or draft. Just set aside $4,000 in
your bank and III get the currency in
few days and hand it in"
That was satisfactory. In about
eleven days the money man of the cor
porat!on walked into the bank with the
$4,000 in cash. turned it in and start
ed away.
Hold on!' said the banker. There's
little matter of $6S interest"
WHATS that?" roared the corpora
ton man.
There's Sos interest due on that"
The corporation man put his hand tt
his forehead and gasped: "Great Gaze
sar. this is the limit! Here you get o

then want us to pay $6s for the privi

Peanuts In Africa,

The peanut seems to be playing the
part Cf "riviliZer" in some of the colo
NAL districts of Africa Traders give
a negro a bushel of nuts for seed on
condition that he return four bushels
from his crop, and since the yield In
good years is twentyfold the black
can sell at the rate of Il shilling Il bush
Ell. From a single station in Senegan-
bia there were shipped in one year
10000 tons. Small boys and scientists
have long been in agreement as to the
value of the peanut. Now statesmen
also will have to do 1t honor since it
seems likely to lead the native African
into the paths Of agriculture.

Taxing German Bachelors.

There has been much talk in the
United States of taxing bachelors, but
nothing has ever come of it. In Strass-
burg, Germany. the town council has
adopted a system Of paying municipal
employees which puts in effect tax
not only on bachelors, but on married
men with small families. A standard
schedule of salaries has been arranged
adapted to the needs Of married men
with three children. Single men be-
tween the ages of twenty and twenty
five receive 10 per cent less than the
schedule salary. When n man has
more than three children he receives 5
per cent more than the standard sched-
ule. 10 per cent more for five chill
dren and Is per cent more If he has
seven children. A similar system has
been in operation in Halberstadt for
some time. with this difference-that
