The Argument.

The tough little boy with the
red har and freckled face pushed.
up against the neat little boy and
said impudently:
MY sister can lick your sis
ter"
The neat little boy did not
argue the matter.
"And my big brother can lick
your big brother"
The little lad WINGED.
"And my ma can lick your
ma"
The quiet lad shifted from one
foot to the other.
"And my pa can lick your pa"
There was a rush of pink shirt
waist, the sound of some hard
object coming in contact with a
spongy substance, and the quiet
little lad stood triumphantly over
his adversary, quietly waiting
for him to push his nosi back in
to the center of his face, where
it belonged.
"But you remember this" he
observed quietly, you can't lick
me-"

A Regular Sahara.

A dispatch from Durham, N.
c. says: "The executive commit.
tee of the Anti-Saloon League of
this State is preparing to intro
duce a bill into the next legisla-
ture which will make it a crime
for a person to have any sort of
liquor in his possession or in his
name. It will not be necessary
to show that the citizen attemp-
ted to give away to his friends
or to sell the liquor. The very fact
that he has it in his possession
or in home will be sufficient to
send him to the penitentiary.
Therefore the new bill will be
the most drastic ever offered for
passage. The present prohibi-
ton law in North Carolina is ex-
irene in its provisions, but there
is said to be more bootlegging in
the State than any other dry
State. 1t is in the hope of de.
stroying this bootlegging anC

John D. Saves Money.

| John D. Rockefeller, the rich
est man alive, insists upon the
| laborers on his estate on the Po-
cantico hills working every min
ute of the time for which he
pays them, and has instituted a
new plan to guarantee that this
shall be carried out.
As he had been greatly troub-
led because the foremen's watch
es did not agree. he installed a
large clock in the tower of his
new stable. This strikes the
hours so that they are heard all
over the estate, and the men are
thus enabled to start on the min
ute.
Lest, howeve. the clock should
disturb the "Oil Kings" sleep
at night, the striking arrange
ment is regulated so as to stop
between the hours of 10 p. m,
and 6 a. m. Mr.. Rockefeller
frequently makes a round OF his
estate to see that the men are
working properly, and the new
arrangement has given him
great satisfaction, for he de-
clares that every moment lost
is money lost.

hats elaborate and rich enough to
Ia grace the smartest of occasions
are shown in the pretty group pictured
here. One of them came from that
celebrated woman among French de-
signers to whom some excellent judges
of millinery would hand the blue rib
bon If a contest for supremacy were
on.
This delightful and novel headpiece
from Madame Georgette is a rather
small hat with narrow dropping brim
of velvet. The odd crown is like a
fan. supported at the left side by a
band which narrows to the right until
it almost disappears. The crown is
made of overlapping strips of fancy
braid and might be effectively man
aged with velvet or other ribbon.
At the front a tall fancy feather Of
ostrich and chenille makes a decora-
ton full of dash. The hat Is worn at
saucy tilt but its lines are so we'll
managed that nothing of its elegance
is lost.
Entirely different in character is the
picturesque and exquisite brimmed hat
which first came 10 the eyes Of woman
kind In a New York establishment. 1t
cannot suffer by comparison even with

how the potato pests had got into

then sat around on the trees and

The shape has a round crown OF
moderate size and a brim with slight
curves in the edge. The hat is in
white and black, the top crown a rich
brocade in raised flowers on a satin
ground. Very handsome ribbon, with
pivot edge of silver, is draped about
the side crown. The brim is of white
faced with black velvet. A very un-
usual ostrich fancy feather with Jet
stem and ornament is posed on the
brim, two of the pompon-like ends
near the front and the remaining one
at the side.
The third hat is palmer but is rich
and elegant model depending upon its
unusual outlines and richness OF ma
terials for the distinction that fixes It's
class. 1t is OF deep sapphire velvet
trimmed with pilage collar and the
handsomest Of shaded ostrich plumes.
This is also the creation of an Ameri-
can designer, which goes to prove that
we can do very well by relying upon
the talent OF our own millinery design
ers whether native born or imported.
Any of these delightful hats might
be made up in other colors than those

of them win lose nothing in beauty.

THE COS <TT FNEJf.

The rnmn;i:t"" ~agp"intc@ y the
dircct,.': Of the Fair Associations, t.
arrlnG" th2 prcm.lm ~ for The 1913
Far. re n0W hasiiv engaged rrClars,
lrg the liz, ar. will hNv" It rea&y
for publication in . few days.
There is no reason why the Fair
this year should rot be as good, or
better, than any yet held, for the com
mittee has on hand enough money to
award liberal premiums in every de-
partment, and if the farmers-those
who are directly benefited by the
holding Of the Fair-Will put forth q
little effort, aud exhibit their live
stock and produce, The Abhevl!ic
County Fair will compare Avorabiy
with any that may be held III state.
1t is true that The Directors have
eliDli5",ied one feature Of the Fair
thc carnival, but afte: all, what does
an "~at;ractiOn" ofthat Kind amount
to? The average carcival consists o.
about three shows and from seven
to ten gambling devioas-c0ntrived to
catch the "Suckers"-and rarely, II
ever, has an exhibition that is up
lifting or beneficial i'll any way.
The one great object OF a County
Fair is to create a spirit of rivalry
among the citizens in exhibiting live
stock, and such articles a. can be
produced on the farm. The farmers
OF Abbeviilc are is progrrssiveas will
be found anywhere, and if they will
exhibit what they produce, we will
have 4 Fair that every citizen will be
proud of.
The success OF the Fair depends
largely on the farmers, and we are
sure that they will begin at once to
prepare their exhibits.
Let's all work together for the sue
cess of the Fair, and let those who
have nothing to exhibit be sure to at
tend.

NEEDED

The city could make no invest
ment that would contribute 50 much
to appearances, for SO small an i'll
vestment as to build a cement side
walk down Washington street to the
Southern depot. The walk to the
Seaboard depot must have cost more
than twice what a similar walk to
the Southern would cost, and it is
doubtful if it is used by incoming
passengers to any greater extent.
We do not know what the city'S
financial condition is, but we do
know that no more telling work
either on street or sidewalk could be
done than this suggested.

TO COTTON
PRICES.

It is presumed that when the leg
islature of South Carolina convcnes
in extra session, it will act in concert
with other legislatures of the cotton
States. To act independently or on
some local plan would DC waste OF
time and money. Al! the Southern
States are equally interested IN pro-
tecting the price Of cotton Until nor
MAJ conditions are RESTORED, and the
first thing the Legislature Of South
Carolina should G0shOuid be by COM
mittce ~ otherwise 10 get in close
touch with the legislatures OF her sis
ter State.
Some method 10 buy up anG hold
ut least Z third OF the crop or 10 fur
ni5h means for lending IN the entire
crop must be devised, and it is the
States burden. The Washington
government will do all that it can
within reasonable limitations, bat
any act Of the individual States thai
will be effective will be iustitiah!r.
While it is pretty certain that the
State car pass a constitutional act to
forbid the planting OF over fifty per
cent. of a normal cotton crop next
year, even if such 4 law should not
be constitutional, if passed, il would
prevent nine-tenthS of the cotton
growers from planting over fifty per
cent. of a normal crop, and the man
who would defy it would be drum
med out of his community.
Again, the State should issue
bonds sufficient to buy outright and
retire for two years or more if neces-
sary, one-third of the cotton crop, al
ten cents per pound, the cost of pro-
duction. 1t would be better to fur
nish this money to the farmers
through the banks as loans on cotton
certificates, but if any large per cent.
of cotton producers Insist on selling
their cotton it should be bought at
the market price and held. Funds
for this purpose could be obtainable
only through a bond issue, to run
say for three years and to bear five
per cent. interest. If the legislatures
of the Southern States will take some
decisive steps such as are herein sug-
gested, the price Of cotton will at
once advance to normal value.
In the mean time every farmer
who car afford to do so should hold
his and his tenants cotton from the
market. He owes that much to his
State that is doing everything posi-
BILE to help him.
Southern people are facing Il condi-
ton that means worse than the loss
of a years labor, unless it is reme-
died, and people of all classes and
conditions should come together as
me people. If the cotton crisis is
met in this spirit, it will surely be
overcome.
