Get Acquainted With Your Neighbor

"Get acquainted with your neigh
bor." Perhaps you have had the ex-
perience of taking a dislike to some
one on account of some minor per-
sonal habit or mannerism. Perhaps
this dislike has been deepened with
time until you reach the state of mind
that you not only would do nothing
to assist the person, but where you
might go out of your way to pre-
vent him doing something for himself
which would be to his profit. Such
states of mind are quite common.
And then perhaps something will hap
pen that will show that you were en-
tireIy mistaken in your estimate OF
the person. Perhaps you may get &C
uuainted with him! And perhaps
YOU will find that what you thought
was a lump of clay is piece of price
less metal.
Get acquainted with your neigh
bor." Talk over with him the various
all live out in the country: neither
do the townsman's neighbors all live
within the corporation. The farmer
has business in town, and the mer-
chants, mechanics. bankers, railroad
men, lawyers, doctors, ETC.. all do
business with the farmers-lots OF
it. Get acquainted with the folks
that you meet in a business way. A
personal acquaintance will often
make a business transaction much
easier.
Get acquainted with your neigh
bor. Talk over with him the various
problems that you have in common.
Perhaps there will come time when
YOU will feel we'll enough acquainted
to consult him about some of the
things that concern YOU only, but in
which his advice will be helpful to
you. Perhaps YOU will be able to
help him in settling some matter that
NAV be worrying him. Do not con-
fGe in every one. That is not wise
But you will never know the charac-
ter and disposition of folks. and
whether or not you can confide IN
them, until you really know them

JUDGE OF THE MOONSHINERS.
kentucky Mountaineers Have Conf
dence in Hon. 4. VI. J. Cochran.

In the interesting people depart
ment of the April American Maga-
zine, appears an article about Judge
A. VI. J. Cochran, federal judge
who, a part of the time sits in Breath
lit county, kentucky-which. by the
way, is no longer bloody. However.
they still make lots of illicit whiskey
in Kentucky and these mountaineers
are constantly up before Judge Coch-
ran who. although just judge. treats
them like a father and tries to make
them see that what they do is really
wrong and against the law. Follow
ing is an extract from the article
about Judge Cochran:
From eight o'clock in the morn
ing until nearly six at night, sat in
the court room and watched the rag
ged. pathetic line of moonshiners and
bootleggers go by. There was no bit
terness in their faces; rather, they
were perplexed, mystified. Why
should the government 'parsecute'
them for. making their own corn into
whiskey, in their own homes. any
more than for making their corn into
bread in their own ovens? Couldn't
the officer ever understand that the
bad roads made it impossible for
them to get their corn to market IN
any except liquid form? A few little
dollars-what was that to a big,
strong government? But when your
total family income for the year is
only seventy-fve dollars, and you see
your corn going to waste
1T was wearisome business.
They were so awkward. so slow IN
their answers, so childlike in their
mental processes. The judge had
told me in the morning that his head
ached terribly. Toward evening ex-
pected to see his patience break, his
self-control explode in a burst OF
righteous wrath upon their tedious
dullness. But no explosion came.
Long after the lights were on he sat
there, and it was still:
o Come up, Henry or Joe, you'll
have to speak a little louder, or,
Now. Jim, just tell the jury in your
own way how that still could be in
your corn field for six months and you
not know it,
q have been in other federal court
rooms where the judge sat behind
mahogany amid cathedral-like 81
lence. There was only plain oak
desk in the Jackson county court
house-and no silence; all day long
men shuttle in and out, while wit
nesses and jurors, lawyers and spec
tators alike spat with studied pre-
cision upon the floor. But there was
dignity lust the same-and with it
a wonderfully transforming spirit Of
kindness.
"Over against some distressing
criticisms of the courts l like to place
the picture of that rude room in
Bloody Breathitt, with its friendly
central figure at the simple desk.
Ten thousand ragged, wide-eyed
men and boys have stood before
Judge Cochran in the past thirteen
years, mumbling their threadbare
pleas. And one might think, to hear
him calling their names, that they
were his grown-up children, and he
the moonshiners' father instead Of
the moonshiners' judge"

The Old Time Darkey.

Confederate veterans of Mobile will
suggest at the reunion in Richmond
this week that a monument be erect
ed to the faithful negro slaves of the
South.
This suggestion is worth serious
consideration. The faithful slave
should not be forgotten. The old
time nanny, or uncle" command
the respect Of us all. Their love fol
"marster," the "missus" and the
"chilluns,' was an unselfsh. love.
Their faithfulness was an unreason-
ing sort of devotion, which gave
much and asked little. In song and
in story this type of negro is brought
before US for the present day. Thomas
Nelson Page, Joel Chandler Harris
and others have enriched the pages
of their writings by accounts Of this
unique type of character. Uncle Re-
mus and the old darkey who told the
story of Marse Chan as we'll as he
who related the romance of Me Lady,
exemplifying a type of negro who
now is fast becoming extinct.
The South owes something to these
old slaves. Theirs was a devotion
too strong to be forgotten. Many
time have the ladies of the South
been left in the care Of slaves, and
the last drop of the slaves blood
would have been spilled ere the Ia
dies could have been harmed. There
were mean slaves of course, and also
there were mean masters. But we
are talking Of the good slaves, the
property of good masters. AS body
servants some of these went through
the war with the men who owned
them. AS house servants others stay
ed at home to look after the comfort
of the ladies and children. The in
cidents are few where the slaves OF
high type proved false to trust placed
in them. The incidents are many
where these slaves showed admirable
devotion to duty.
Because of the former relations
between the Confederate soldiers and
the slaves, it is particularly approprl-
ate that the former should consider
a memorial to his old time servant.
Faithfulness to trust is not virtue
so common that it calls for special
RECOGNITION. The old time negro is
not a type so common that we can
afford to forget about him. He has
earned a place in literature. though
there are very few authors who have
portrayed him with any degree or
success. Some of our writer's have
kept fresh our ideas of the old time
darkey. But the South as whole
has not erected a monument to one
of its most unique types. The build
ing of a monument to the devoted
slaves would be a pretty thing for the
South to do. 1t would show appre-
! citation of worth. 1t would aid in
preserving the memory of class of
negroes the last of whom are now
rapidly passing away. Possibly the
monument would be inspirational, not
only to negroes, but to white people
too. for in this ante-bellum darkey
there were many traits which merit
a. consideration higher than an in
! dulgent, cursory survey.-Greenville

A PRIZE-WINNING LETTER.
A Fathers Terrible Confession and
His RemorSe.

The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters en-
titled, The Meanest Thing | Ever
Did" In the June issue the prize
winning letters are published. The
first prize was awarded to the follv"
ing letter-a fathers terrible confes-
sion:
"A great, strong. Swedish farmer
told it to me-this story of the mean
est thing-told it to me with tears
and sobbing. afer a lapse of eighteen
years.
"'You know my son Christian?'
he began. 1T happened when Chris-
tian was ten years old. and Peter was
only eight.
Every night all summer long
Christian and Peter had brought the
COW from the pasture and had kept
her out of the lucern lots where the
fence was down along the way.
ION the 5th of October the school
teacher took them to the hills 10
gather flowers and autumn leaves.
They came home after dark, tired
out. and finding no one at home,
crept up stairs and went to bed.
They were sleeping soundly when
their mother came few minutes
later, and she had not the heart TO
ask them to go for the cow.
81 helped Rasmussen dig the last
ten feet of his we'll that day, and
when we had finished he invited me
70 supper. After that we sat for a
long while enjoying our pipes and
stories. so it was II o'clock when l
got home.
"'When I came to the kitchen l
saw that the milk had not been set IN
the window to cool. Then | was
angry. 1 took the pail and went out
to milk. The COW was not IN the
barn. Now, was furious.
81 took up a loose halter strap
that hung over the stall and rushed
up to the boys bed room, mutterlng
and banging doors as l went. My
wife in her night dress, stepped be-
fore me at the head of the stairs and
tried to explain. I pushed her aside
and bade her hold her tongue. l am
ashamed to tell it, how. l, great
big brute of man, stood over those
two crying, pleading, trembling
writing, helpless little boys, my
own flesh and blood, and whipped
them lash upon lash.
"'When l paused for breath Peter
sobbed, Father, what is it for?
"'What is it for?' l repeated saw
agely, Come, l will show you what
it is for"
al dragged them from their bed
by the arms, one in each. of my mon
ster hands, down the stairs, out into
the night and a mile away, down to
the pasture bars.
"''The cow stood at the bars, and
when 1. had let her. out the two little
fellows freed their hands from mine
and drove her home.
"'In the morning Peter did not
get ND. / had relented by this time
and ordered that he was not to De
awakened till noon. At noon he was
in a burning fever and talked de-
liriously about the COW. DR.. DAVIS
came and said it was pneumonia. A
week later we laid him away.
"'Christian did not get whipped
any more, and he has forgiven me
wears ago; but I would give my life
and all possess to know that at the
last could clasp little Peter in my
arms and know that he forgives me-
too"
