as she had wept bitterly over the
news of his disappearance Mothers
weep as they pray for blessings upon
the distant one, and weep when they
come bringing sheaves of blessings
with them.
We know of that sort of thing in
the history of the crop that has just
been harvested. Such anxiety there
has never been over it, So much de-
pended upon what should come back
to us from the seed grain we threw
into the soil and helplessly left there,
last spring. Whether prosperity or
tribulation should befall our coun-
try hung upon the crop. Wars abroad
and restricted funds at home were
hard to put up with even temporarily,
and all over America thoughtful
men anxiously awaited what every
week brought forth regarding the state
of the growing grain. Hundreds of
farmers had struggled along through
encouragement so far, and their sue
cess or failure seemed to depend just
upon this one years crop.
And then news gradually filtered
through the usual channels OF infor-
nation that plenty was to crown the
plains. A first-rate crop was harvest
ed. Anxiety was turned into Joy A
years success with the grain means so
much.
The heaviness which brooded over
us has withered away before the joy
that came in the morning after the
threshers had done their work, and
the blessing of the months past could
actually be weighed and measured. If

brings into life for the loved ones.

parable which speaks of a certain king

And when the latter was discovered to

IDENTITY both feelings touch something
akin in the innermost being. That
may be what the people mean who de-
clare that extremes meet.
And yet one emotion expresses Joy,
the other pain. We are indeed curl
ously constituted, when things so dis
similar have the same effect upon our
expressions. Perhaps the truth of the
matter is that whatever is deep
enough to tap our real selves, at
the center of our nature, has to go
to one common reservoir. The ripples
of pleasure and the blowings of hard
fate move the depths of this reservoir
in just the same way, because when
they reach there they represent only
emotion of the most realistic charac-
ter.

Hudson Smiths Rambler
Strikes a Horse. Horse
Shot Later

Monday morning as Hudson
Smith was on his way to Marce-
line with a load Of visitors in his
Rambler car he came up with
Mr.. Hardin who lives in the
neighborhood Of the Smiths
north Of Guthridge Mill and who
was driving his team to q neigh

Hardin was walking and driving
and when Mr.. Smith undertook
to pass him one Of the horses
whirled and turned sidewise in
the road in time to be struck by
the automobile and have its hind
legs broken. The auto was
knocked sidewise into a ditch by
the shock but fortunately did not
turn turtle, and the occupants
suffered no injury beyond a
shaking up and scare.
The horse was SO badly
crippled that it was shot to re-
lieye it Of misery, and no one
feels worse over the accident
than Mr.. Smith.

FRUSTRATED WITH HEAT
G. NJ. Hawkins Affected While
Working During Hot
Weather.

G. M. Hawkins was seriously
ill this week when he was over
come by the heat while working
in the sun cutting hedge, Tues
day morning. Mr.. Hawkins
was cutting a hedge bordering a
lot south of his residence, across
the street. The high hedge had
shut off the south breeze, he
contended, all during the sum-
mer and he finally decided to
trim it himself in hopes of get
ting a little breeze. He worked
Monday and again started to
work Tuesday. He returned to
his home with a chill and soon
was delirious with a high tenn
perature. He was quieted by
by the use of an opiate, his
fever was reduced and he felt
better Wednesday morning.

Is L the Heat?

Two killings, probably mur-
ders, within the past fortnightis
the showing for this county. Is
it the heat? It is claimed by
psychologists and criminologists
that the heat is responsible for
crime waves to a certain extent.
The heat depresses the nervous
systems Of people and makes
them irritable and combative.
That this is true is apparent to
almost any person who viii take
a good review of his own con-
dition during the scorching
torrid weather. It seems true
that people are victims Of lowered
vitality during periods Of intense
heat and thnt they are ID d much
less satisfactory condition men
tally than during the cool
weather seems assured. Cooler
weather would make al! of US
better citizens.

Merchants Have Drawing

The 500 in cash which was
given away the merchants, mem
bers of the Commercial Club,
was distributed according to
program Saturday afternoon
about four o'clock. A girl made
the selection of slips and the
following persons were the for
tunate ones: George Bucksath,
Dalton $25; Sam Allega, Mrs.
Charles Herring, Schell Lentz
and Mrs. George Dewey (2) $40
bills; E. P. Stamper, N. C. Bruce

drew a big crowd, looked like a
circus-day aggregation and the
excitement ran pretty high for
a while, subsiding as the lucky
ones were announced. The for
tunate ones tipped the girl
who drew the slips.

Who Can Vote

It is the opinion Of the attor-
ney general that under sections
5S71 and 5S7S of the revised
statutes any voter who is known
not to have affiliated with a
party whose ticket he seeks to
vote, is not entitled to vote such
ticket, unless he takes the
oath to support the nominees of
that party. A republican or any
other but a democrat who wish
es to vote for any democrat on
the ticket Tuesday, viii be re-
quired to take the oath. if chal-
enged, to support all the nomi-
nees on that ticket, from top to
bottom, but not the national
ticket. Affirmation is as good as
the oath.

that the only objection they can
make to my record is to its
length. That is a criticism of
