TOWN BUILDERS

The honest, conscientious real es-
tate man is great help in building
up town. There are plungers in this
as well as in all other business. but
the real estate men of South Caro-
lima are on the whole useful. patriotic
citizens, men of character and town
builders. There are exceptions, men
who have lost control of themselves
in the excitement of the chase.
Deprecating the custom to confuse
the real estate agent who does a
legitimate business with sharks who

time ago had this tribute for the rep-
utable real estate man: with
thorough knowledge of your real As-
tate, its values and the forms of safe
transfer and having a definite knowI-
edge concerning his own locality. as
well as the business in other parts of
the country, he is able to furnish an
Intelligent opinion concerning busi-
ness prospects and conditions there

PISTOL CARRYING.

We more than occasionally see the
argument advanced that prohibition
cannot be enforced because pistol
toting" can not be stopped. There
3 no analogy, or the resemblance is
slight.
The officers OF the law don't en-
force the law against carving wea-
)ons. They can do it, or they can
at least make more of an effort.
What effort is made to learn who
are owners and habitual "toters" of
pistols? What effort is made to
confiscate weapons unlawfully car
ried upon the person?
AS a matter of fact we believe
hat this habit is diminishing grad
ually. And there are some cases
where the carrying of a weapon NAV
be necessary for protection. In such
cases-for instance overseers of
large works in the country, remote
from protection by law officers
there might be provision made
for a license for the carrying OF a
weapon.
We could point out instances in
his State where lives would have
been saved had law officers taken the
precaution to look for weapons upon
the persons of men whose previous
conduct would have justified the sus-
picion that they were armed.
Moonshiners, who claim the right
given them by bountiful nature to
convert their corn crons into a ro-.
able form. are hunted down. Blind
tigers and bootleggers are pursued
wherever the public conscience is
quick enough to demand action on
the part of officers. b-t "n,etol tot
ers" are never hunted ia tho same
fashion.
The law can be enforced-but the
law officers must be supported by
public sentiment.-Colum Record

When without bit of warnin' my old
neck'll get squeeze,
And a little girl will Chamber up onto
her daddy's knees.
And another one will be there right
behind her mothers chair,
With her little fingers brushin'
through the glory of her hair;
And one Of them told me last night,
holdin' me off, this away,
Il will surely be glad, daddy, when
your hair starts gettin' gray
And when mothers hairs like silver,
just love white hair, do!"
And I looked across at mother, and
she looked up at me, too;
And my hairs as black as ever, and
her hairs like ruby gold,
And we amt none of us ever give

Living for an Old Age.
Charlotte Observer.


The United States public health
service has undertaken campaign
for the encouragement and promo
tion of longevity. and instead of
coming South and picking out some
" the numerous old negro mammies
who "nussed George Washington,
and who will swear to almost any
age suggestded, has gone to York
shire and unearthed the record of
'nry jenkins, an infantile prodigy
whose career of usefulness was cut
off when he was but 169 years old.
While hardly undertaking the propa-
cation of a second Jenkins, the public
health service reasonably hopes to
encourage lengthening of the aver
age span of life by inducing the peo-
pie to more general observation of
the simple rules of health. 1t is in
clined to regret that Henry jenkins
left behind no rule OF living which
would enable one to duplicate his
feat" but commends jenkins great
self-repression." However, the pub
lie health service passes along some
rules OF its own conception that
clearly bear the stamp of common
sense. The sound proposition is laid
down that there is no royal road to
old age and II Is not to be attained
by a particular dietary or regimen
OF life. Perhaps the best rule NAV
be expressed in one word, "modera-
tion." Moderation in food, modera-
ton in drink, moderation in the ioys
and worries OF life. moderation in
work, moderation in recreation.
e1uanimity of the mind, the soul and
the body. These make for long ten
ure OF life. Only small proportion
OF the human race rounds out its
tour OF duty on this earth. Some
people are born with good bodies
which they treat we'll. Barring acci-
dents, they live long time. Some
people are born with poor bodies
which they treat well. Barring acci-
dents they can live to ripe old age
Some people are. born with good
bodies which they treat badly and
some are born with poor bodies
which they treat badly. They don,
last long. A second safe proposition
is that the term "old age" too FIRE.

READERS OF BOOKS IN AMERICA

Americans are said to be the most
omnivorous readers in the world and
this would seem to be tablished by
the statistical statement of the Uni
ted States board of Education. To
say nothing of the vast consumption
of newspapers and periodicals, ma
tional prominence is indicated by
the fact that within Ave years the
number of books in our Libraries
within reach of the public rose from
56,300.000 to more than 10000
000-an increase OF about 10000
600, or more than one-third. I'm
fortunately this vast increase is not
due to the foundation of new Iibrar-
les where they are needed or the de-
sirable expansion of small ones
but is almost entirely due to addit-
ions to oollections, already exten-
sive.

DIME.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.


Dixie" is the best liked tune in
the United States. Audiences that
remain apathetic through infinite
rag-time and sentimental airs will
applauded when the band plays the
southern classic. 1t doesn't seem to
make any difference whether people
are from Dixie land or not. North
erners, New Englanders, Westerners
somehow seem to warm up as respon-
sively as one bred in old Kentucky
when the lively strains of the inimit-
able melody begin.
When it comes to striking the
bulls eye of sentiment Annie
Laurie" the Last Rose of Sum
mer," and even Home, Sweet Home"
are distinctly outclassed. Dixie" is
hors concours-meaning the others
are mot in it,"
Slavery is gone. The Southern
aristocracy is no longer dominant.
States rights have paled. But the
one song of the South has triumphed
over all that the North could do in
the way of music.
IT is as unreasonable as woman
ari as Irresistible. AS the South
ern girl has charm of her own,
knocks all logical canons Of beauty
into cooked hat, and with her Ian
guild smile works havoc with ice
Bound hearts of Northern men, so
this amazing tune has done for us all.
The old South has gone. but it had
a certain beauty that 1.-The world does
not willingly let die" It's high spirits
of chiyalry, its keen sense Of honor,
it's esteem of women, it's passionate
love OF home, its vivid loyalty to It's
convictions. these are fine fiavors In
the garden of human feeling. We
pay unconscious tribute to them
when we applaud Dixie"
Why ia Dixie" the best American
tune? Why do you like Sue instead
Of Jane? Why do you like ham and
not mutton? The dictates of taste
are inscrutable.
We like Dixie" because we like It.

If we had we should have feared il.

For this thing of bein aged has
never struck me as much good;
But now that the children want it

And l won't be worried any when

In my hair, but when their mother
gets a gray streak in her hair
Humph! l don't believe I'll like that,

If it makes the children happy she'll
be glad for silver strands
But to me gray hairs means slippin'
down into the sunset lands
Course it will not matter any bout
my love when she is old
Why if silver comes until it crow Dis
out all the strands of gold
She will find me right beside her,
steppin' with her right along,
Finding all the notes of gladness that
is in a wild birds song
In her voice, and the reflection of the
rain-washed, springtime skies
In her eyes when she looks at me
with loves gladness in her eyes
That the children sort Of want us two

But / sort of hope their wishes won't

He Might Have to Lose Battles, but He
Would Not Lose Minutes.
After forcing the army of Sardinia
back toward Turin, Napoleon had
scarcely taken possession Of the beau
tiful Palace Salmatori, at Cherasco,
thirty-fve miles from the Piedmon-
tese capital, when an aged marshal
from the Sandman side came and in
formed the little general of the French
that the king was about to propose
terms Of peace.
'"Terms! shouted the young com
mander in chief in startling tones, as
be pounded the desk, lit is who name
terms. If you don't accept them at
once Turin is mine tomorrow
Although the directory, sitting in far
away Paris, had reserved the right for
themselves and their trained diplomats
to accept or reject terms, the young
general could not delay operations for
weeks while messengers were sent
back and forth between the camp and
the capital, so Bonaparte took it upon
himself to arrange an armistice. He
called halt to all sparring for time
by drawing out his watch and, tapping
the dial with his forefinger, ordered
them to sign Immediately, remarking:

SKIN OF THE FRUIT,
IL Is Wise Not to Eat Apples or Pears
Without Peelinq Them,

Without Peeline Them.
Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re-
moved. Some even go so far as to say
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come in contact with the steel Of the
pairing knife, as the acid in the fruit ia
apt to produce some poison when II
comes in contact with the metal. But
whether these things are true or not,
there is still greater danger in eating
apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with germs
Of different types. and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will do
our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead. lime and sulphur
wash and number of other spraying
compounds used by fruit growers have
been found to remain in considerable
quantities on the skin of apples and
pears until ripe and placed on the mar
ket. The action of such chemicals
upon the tissues of the human body
is very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving US more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices, but if you value your
health you should never eat apples or
pears without first removing the peels.

never willingly sacrifice one of "my

laying a telegraph wire, coolly cut

engineer in charge and lectured him
on the criminal laxity of permitting
such a sacrilege.

he was told.
"Oh, all right" grumbled the messen-

the end of pen in deep meditation for
minute or two. Then he wrote this:
