MAKES HOT WAVE PAY
Gotham Beggar Clad in Storm Cost
Reaps Harvest From Passersby.
New York Times.)

A man believed to be a professional
beggar took advantage of the torrid
weather to work on the sympathies of
persons in the subway. The beggar.
wearing a heavy storm ulster, got on L
northbound Broadway express at 5
o'clock in the evening, at the Brooklyn
bridge station. He found a seat in
corner of the car, and the perspiring
passengers regarded him with sur
prise and pity. They noticed that the
beggar had a long beard, and that the
storm collar of the coat was turned up
and .buttoned tightly about his neck.
He seemed to be suffering much from
the heat, for his lean face was moist
with perspiration.
A sympathetic guard asked the beg
gar why he was clothed for winter
when most of the men in the car had
cast aside their coats. The beggar
replied softly that he did not dare to
open his coat as he wore no clothing
underneath it. This information the
guard communicated to several men in
the car One OF them started a collec-
ton to get a suit of clothes for the
poor man. He passed a hat from one
passenger to another, and several dol
lars in silver were obtained for the
beggar. He quit the car at the
Grand Central Station, thanking his
benefactors tearfully. After counting
up the collection he crossed to the
southbound platform of the station,
where he got on a downtown express.
He succeeded in arousing the sympa-
thies of the passengers on the train,
and another collection was taken up
and turned over to him. When last
seen he was hurrying to a nOrthbound
express at the bridge station.

SHOULD GROW MORE CORN

1t would seem from indications here
that the present corn crop in Sumter
county is not in keeping with the ban
ner corn crop that the state seems II
have this year. The corn crop here
from reports received recently is ac-
tually less than usual.
This is a record that is not as good
as it should be in Sumter county. The
boys corn club here has done it's duty
in giving some prize yields The faith
ers of the boy corn growers ha
caught the spirit of the corn club, all
ong with many others, but the results
this year are certainly not as good as
they should be.
More corn and less cotton is a plal
that Sumter county farmers may well
lOIOW. varied anu ulNeISlHeu crops,
especially when such diversifcatiun
means the increasing of the acreage f
such a vital crop as corn, mean indie
pendence for the farmer. The farmer
who follows this warning will not he
compelled to depend on cotton ana
else for his share of the prof
its of the farm.
The work of the corn clubs in Geor-
git has been little less than wonderful
in a short time. Year by year the good
done by the clubs is growing. This
section of Georgia, which is unsur-
passed in the state for the numerous
and successful crops that can be
grown here, is yet to come more fully
into its ows as that section of Georgia
where the farmers grow any crop that
the soil can grow. Diversification isl

Maude Muller, one day, eating fudge,
Looked up and saw the county Judge.
3ude was a pretty girl, all right;
Fis honor fell in love at sight.
And, when about a month had fed,
Aiaude promised that the judge she'd
wed.
Then DER the judges pathway came
A wealthy, proud and stately dame
The judge, then, for ambitions sake,
Poor little Maude resolved to shake.
An ardent suffragette was Maude,

So told the party her sad tale.

In spring they voted his recall.

You are no longer Judge she said.
This lesson sad he learned, you bet:

A GOOD COTTON CROP EXPECTED

:
that has existed here and in some 9th
er counties of the state the prediction
is being freely made as regards tho
South as whole that the present cot
ton crop will be large one, havr.g
been estimated at 100000 bales b;
some authorities. The Washington
Post in speaking of the outlook for
good crop of cotton in the South c..
serves:
The South is raising a 100000
bale cotton crop, according to an an
alysis of Thursdays government re-
port by a competent authority. This
is the third successive year of abun :
ant production of the staple, last year
yielding upward of 100000 and tn2
year previous 100000 or more, TIE
record figures, and aggregating A.
100000 bales for the three years. This
ears crop has yet to encounter the
perils of July and August, but if tie
weather since the day the July esti-
mates were made continues to be as
favorable as reported the size of the
crop will be augmented several hun
dred thousand bales.
Last years smaller crop brought AT
least $10O,0OO0OO more than the ban
ner crop of 1911, due, of course to the
higher values prevailing in 1912. 1t 5
not anticipated that the large yield
! foreshadowed by last weeks estimates
will have the effect of lowering the
current price appreciably. An average
! of II cents pound to the planter is
| indicated, which figures a total Of
1925, 100000, exclusive of the seed, or
about $900,000,000 all told. Hence the
income of the South from that source
alone approXimates $780, 100000 fo4'
the three-year period in question. 1t
would require more than half of orr
stock of money to pay the bill had all
of it gone into home consumption, but
as about two-thirds of the crop each
year is exported, it is seen that tn :
foreigner is drawn on for the bulk ~
the money.
The acreage this year, with Texas
leading with 100000 acres, is put 1T
100000 acres, which makes a con
siderable gain over 1912. Experience
teaches that a good crop every year IS
beyond the bounds of hope; but if
| Providence should vouchsafe fourth
renewal of great abundance, the eleven
cotton states will have pulled up to
any equal area in the North in agricu'-
tural wealth and prosperity.

DENIED RELIEF OF WEEPING
Peculiar Fact Concerning the insane
u That They Are Positively
Unable to Cry. II

One Of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
,sence OF tears amid the Insane. What
ever the form OF madness, tears are
conspicuous by their absence, as much
IN the depression Of melancholy, or ex-
2itement of mania, as in the utter
apathy OF dementia.
Il q patient in lunatic asylum be
discovered In tears, it will be found
that it is one beginning to recover, or
an emotional outbreak in an epileptic
who is scarcely truly insane, while
actual insane persons appear to have
lost the power of weeping; 1t is only
returning reason which can once more
unloose the fountain Of their tears.
Even when lunatic is telling one
in fervid language how she has been
deprived Of her children, or the out
RACES that have been perpetrated to
herself, her eye Is never even moist.
The ready gush Of tears which accom-.
panies the plant OF the sane woman
contrasts strangely with the dry-eyed
appeal of the laxative lunatic. It
would, indeed, seem that tears give
relief to feelings which, when pent
up, lead to madness. It Is one of the
privileges of reason to be able to
weep. Amid all the misery of the
insane they find no relief in tears.

Imagine if you can a great tub, one
thousand feet long, more than one
hundred feet broad, and eighty-five
feet deep. Imagine that this huge tub
has in it's side, immense gates as high
as a seven-story building and half a
city block wide. Then you fcan form
some idea of one of the most impress
sive features of the Panama. Canal
the Gatun Locks: IN. =. y
And the parts of the Gatun Locks
that most strongly kindle the imagin-
alton are the great steel gates. These
gates have had to be so strongly con-
structed that they will be able safe
ly to Withstand the terrific pressure
.of the water i'm the locks. Yet these
gates, huge as they are. swing open
as smoothly as a parlor door. Each
gate is in fact pair of gates; for
they open in the center and swing
back against the sides of the lock.
And they are operated by only one
man, who sits in tower located on
the center wall of the locks. To move
these mighty masses of steel he has
but to touch a single lever. It is in
conceivable, upon seeing the size of
these great. barriers, to imagine that
such mass of steel can possibly be
swung upon hinges. Yet they are,
and seemingly with no effort at all,
opening wide or closing tight in two
minutes time.
When these gates are finished and
ready for use only small portion of
their wonderful construction is Wis
ible. Appearing as a solid steel wall
they are, in reality a honycomb of
steel squares bolted and riveted to-
gether, upon which the steel sheets
are fastened.
To erect this framework of steel
and then cover it with the plates, re-

Believer in Euqenics.

Believers in the vital Importance to
the race of more careful mating of
the sexes argue that not more than,
1 per cent. of the men of any genera
ton can be called distinguished or
especially gifted. They say that of
this little minority Of one In every
hundred at least half are the children
of parents one or both of whom have
,unquestionable eminence in some field
or endeavor, or are otherwise lifted
above the powers and gifts Of average
men. That leaves half of the notably
endowed men of the world to spring
from the great mass Of ordinary hu-
man beings. II these figures are cor
rect it follows that the children of dis
tinguished parents have about one
hundred times as good chance Of
winning fame or proving great powers
as the children of the commonplace
majority. y:
