A CHECK for $l9.74 was passed ON
the Quaker drug store last Friday
night by a young man who gave his
name as James Harris. He was so
smooth and eenteel in his conversa-
tion and SO convincing in his argu-
ment that the authorities of the store
accepted the check without hesitation,
although they never saw the young
man before. The police are in search
for him.

A witty Judge of the munich
pal court of Boston stoutly de-
clared that "a patriot was a man
who refused to button his wife's

"A MARTYR" he went on, "is

while a hero tries and succeeds"

"Oh, a coward" replied the
judge, "is man who remains

Franks recovery is said to be

Jeffersonian
Messrs Wayland Raley and
William A. Kirkley, two of
Jefferson's young and most
patriotic men left early Monday
morning for Charlotte, N. c.,
where they went to enlist in the
United States navy. They pass
ed the examination and left the
city that afternoon for Ports
mouth, Va, where they will be
in the training station for the
next several months, afterwhich
they will board one of Uccle
Sans large war vessels and re-
main there for the remainder of
their 4-year enlistment. We
congratulate Uncle Sam upon
adding this efficient and sub
stantial material to his navy
right at this time, and we feel
sure that when the Kaiser reads
this issue of the Jeffersonian
and sees how our Uncle Sam is
being SO we'll backed up he will
Immediately take steps to settle
the submarine proposition TO
our entire satisfaction.

a way not common to all such

Mr.. John Wilson Threatt was

was buried July II, at Zoar

The war record of Mr.. Threat

there was a man who laid his
life on the altar of sacrifice
for our beautiful southland with

didn't possess a foot of land, he
never owned a slave and I
reckon never expected to own

volunteers he forgot everything

heroically as did the man who

Are Your Farm Implements
Under Shelter.

Progressive Farmer.
The breaking plows, the har-
rows, the planters and many
other implements used about the
farm have largely finished their
work for this season, and one of
the most useful economy meas
ures that can be put into practice
right now is to see that they are
perfectly housed and cared for.
Attention to such matters marks
the good farmer, and inattention
to them shows a carelessness
that is sure to be reflected in a
rundown farm and decreased
profits.
Depreciation is the biggest
expense connected with Hearly
all farm implements, and the
wise farmer will see that it is
held down to a minimum. We
have known farmers who have
used grain binders ten or a doz-
en- years and that are still in
good condition; on the hand, we
have seen other farmers buy a
machine almost identically the
same and put it on the junk
heap in three years time. In
the first instance the machine
was carefully handled while in
the field, and as soon as its work
was done it was carefully clean
ed up and overhauled, all broken
parts repaired, and carefully
housed in a dry shed. In the
second case the farmers binder
went to pieces because lost or
broken parts were never attend
ed to and because its only
shelter from June till June again
was a spreading oak in front of
the house.
Nor isl this all. We have seen

plows, in fact, every kind of i'm
plement used about the farm,
lying out, season after season,
with apparently never a thought
given to the hard dollars they
cost. Look to these things,
Brother Farmer, and look to
them now. It's a dollars-and-
cents, bread-and-meat propo-
sition.

The flag was in the hands of
Aaron Plyler when a Yankee
shot broke his wrist, but the flag

where the shot was raining like

and captured the Yankee breast

There were 18 holes shot
through that flag in Is minutes,
as was learned afterward by
actual count.
AT the wars beginning his
regiment numbered 1850, but it
was reduced to 107.
He was married March IL,

died az years afterward, leaving
a son, Mr.. ]. S. Threatt, of
Belleville, Ga, and daughter,
Mrs. Minor Melton, of Union

with his children survive him.

Mushroom Powder City in
Virginia.

Waxahaw Enterprise.
At City Point, Virginia, is one
of the biggest powder plants in
the world. 1t is a plant that has
grown up like a mushroom, so to
speak. Its growth and develop
ment is traceable to the great
war in Europe. Its employees
are drawn from all over Ameri-
ca and nearly all nationalities
excepting Germany are repre-
sented. The lowest wages for
labor at this plant is $3.50 per
day. Carpenters who are fairly
proficient draw over Sc per day.
City Point is near Petersburg
and the big powder plant has
two boat landings on the river.
The stories told in this commun-
ity by some of the employees
going hither and thither sounds
like some of the Arabian tales.
1t is said that $4,000 Iaborers are
now at work in the plant and
that 5000 carpenters are work
ing with all haste to erect a
plant of equal capacity to tile
one now in operation. The city
is protected from invasion by a
barbed wire fence eleven feet
high arranged so that a rabbit
cannot get through. The labor
ers are all numbered and wear
badges and enter and leave the
city only with consent of the
bosses and by the use of many
pass words, countersigns etc.

the unaided eye.

it comes to the question of

UNIVERSAL PEACE-A DREAM.

Just now the air is full OF proposals
OF universal peace. Theorists and
idealists Of every description are
proposing plans to end all war and
usher In the era OF international
brotherhood. One OF the popular ideas
contemplated Is an international
union which shall exercise control
OF all armament and armed forces,
level all Notifications. and assume all
responsibility for the worlds political
welfare.
Mr.. Elijah W. Sells, a New York
accountant, has elaborated a very
comprehensive plan for the worlds
peace tribunal. giving representation
TO practically every civilized and
semi-civilized nation. While such
proposals are not to be DISCOURAGED,
they cannot be taken very seriously.
They are the product OF a vivid i'm.
agination. warm sympathy for
human suffering and impractical
idealism. Mankind learns only
through slow and painful processes.
We may be centuries removed from
the savage. but we are certainly cen
turtles distant from the ideal state
of unselfishness and broad fraternity
that Ia necessary to eliminate war.
Practically every important war in
history has sprung from the ambition
the greed and arrogance OF one man
or number of men. Greed, ambi-
ton and pride are still parts Of hu.
man nature. They have not been
educated out OF us. and there is
no immediate prospect that they will
be.
Practically. in all probability. the
Slavs Of Galicia and Herzegovina are
as well governed. as prosperous and
enjoy as much OF the good things OF
life under Austrian rule, as they
could under Servian or Russian rule.
Possibly the French OF Alsace and
Lorraine are as prosperous and COM
Portable under German domination,
as they were under French; but the
SlaV longs to become part OF a SIav
State. and the expatriated French
men still cherish the hope OF being
reunited to France.
On the other hand. Il is not i'm
probable that Germany will be Just as
strong without Alsace and Lorraine,
and that the masses OF the German
people will be just as happy and pros
porous; but national pride forces
Germany to hold these provinces torn
from France. and to shed her best
blood TO hold them.
Universal peace is but a dream.
and will remain a dream for centuries
TO come.
