WOULDN'T NEED 4 LANTERN.
Merchant Tells Refreshing Story Con-
cerninS IN Honest Man.

Laurens. Nov. LIN these times
of stress and slow collections, the
payment OF an old account or dis
position to square back Indebtedness
appears rather unusual. especially
among the class of farmers who have
to be run" by the time" merchant
who is probably being harder hit this
fall than any other business man.
An incident illustrating the honest
ty of an old-time darkey and at the
same, time impressing certain mer-
chant of the city with the rarity of
the transaction. occurred yesterday.
when the aforesaid colored cropper,
Tom Young, came in town and in
formed the merchant that he had
brought up a bale of cotton which
he wanted to go on his old account
of $63. All right, Tom. how much
do you want for your coeton?" asked
the merchant. "Jes do de bes' yu
kin fer de ole niger an hit II be
all right wild him." was Toms reply.
The bale weighed $50 pounds and
the merchant wrote receipt for
$52, explaining to the old man that
while the market was only cents,
he would allow him 10 cents, which
seemed to greatly please the old fel-
low. He left, saying he would be
back before Christmas and pay the
balance of S11.
There is a 'hard-luck" story be-
hind the above incident. For years
the merchant has been furnishing
Tom regularly. A few years ago
his only mule died and the merchant
bought him another animal, which
soon went the way of the other one.
Last year the old negro turned over
all his crop and other stuff to his
creditor, saying that he could no
longer run a farm and was going to
crop" with his son this year. And
the bale Of cotton he delivered yes
terday to the man that has helped
him through all these years was
part of this years crop. which was
made by the old darkey, his wife and
two small grandchildren.
In his long experience as a busi-
ness man the merchant says yester-
days transactions is one of the most
remarkable in his career.

REFUGEE DOGS AND CATS.
Belgian Exodus Gives Paris Pound

Paris, Oct. 20.-Human beings are

zone now harbored in Paris. Home
less cats and dogs from Belgium and
the stricken cities of Northern
France followed their homeless mas
ters and mistressee and have added
thousands to the canine and feline
population of the city. They give
plenty of trouble to the pound keep
er, whose war-reduced staff had al
ready enough to do to collect the
thousands Of animal pets abandoned
during the exodus of Parisians when
siege was threatened. The pound
keeper became so overwhelmed that

And then there has been the dis

Milking Machine is Success at State College
Bulletin Describes Recent Tests

Bullet.r number 144, published
last summer by the South Dakota eX-
pertinent station, is q preliminary re-
port on the use of the milking ma
chine by the dairy ~husbandry depart
ment of the State College during the
past two and one-half years. The
machines were in daily operation in
the college dairy barn during this
whole period, with the exception OF
one day out of each month when the
machine-milked COWS were MIXED by
hand and also in a few instances
when the gasoline engine used for
power underwent repairs. The COWS
we're MIXED by hand n day of each
month to ascertain the approximate
production of individual COWS.
While the data on hand thus far
are not complete, Yet certain facts
seem to have been demonstrated by
the experiment as follows: Cd The
milking machines gave quite salts
fastroy results, and would be profit
able on the average farm having at
least twenty COWS; CD Cows giving
milk freely are most easily broken

machine milks clean, yet it is best to
strip the COWS at once after the teat-
cups are detached to make sure that
no milk remains; (4) If the ma

keeps the milk free from sediment

is wise and safe to soak the various
