What was needed at Abbevills
above everything else was little ag-
gressive, assertive leadership. Of the
right sort in the initial stages Of this
affair. The people Of the South know
well enough the danger there is in
such situation. Where, as appears
to have been the case at Abbeville,
nothing is done to prevent an angry
crowd from degenerating into q law

stand as an indictment, not only Of

THE LYNCHING AT ABBEVILLE
Charleston News and Courier)

Charleston News and Courler)
Crawford, the negro who was
lynched at Abbeville on Saturday,
seems to have been the type Of negro
who is most offensive to certain ele-
ments of the white people. He was
getting rich, for a negro, and he was
insolent along with it. 1t is not prob
able that the crowd which first set
upon him intended to do more than
punish him well for his abuse of the
cotton seed buyer with whom he had
engaged in dispute.
But it is seldom left for those who
take matters of this sort into Their
own hands to say what the end will
be. The ultimate consequences Of
such procedure are nearly always
far reaching. Sometimes they are
swift and terrible. That is what prov
ed true in this instance. When the

ANIMALS THAT NEVER EAT
Many Mechanical Appliances Have
Been Given the Names of Birds
and Beasts.

Have you ever realized what a mum.
Der Of scientific appliances have been
named after animals? And can you
furnish an explanation?
A mechanic puts his work upon a
horse, or buck, and he punches or
bends it by a convenient bear. Hoist
ing is done by crab, a convenient
cat is part Of the outfit Of a shop
crane, and a kit of tools is ever at
hand.
; A crow helps to straighten work, a
Jack to lift it; a mule pulley helps to
drive machinery which a donkey en-
CINE turns. A fish connects parts end
to end, shells are used all over, while
a worm does quiet but powerful work.
Again, a cock shuts off the water;
a ram lifts it. A printing press has a
fly, the first locomotives had a grass
hopper valve motion, and butterfly
valves are common.
Herring bone gears are used by the
best builders; turtles fit printing press
cylinders, and fly wheels are running
all over the world. In drilling, even,
an old man is called into service, and
doctors prevent faulty lathe work.

THEOLA THEATRE.

The old Elysian Field Theatre is
being converted into one of the most
beautiful picture shows in that sec
ton of New Orleans. The new pro-
prietors, our townsmen, Theodore j.
Lala, and Lucas Lala, are spending
a considerable amount of money to
make this playhouse one of the most
popular in town. The new name
given to the theatre is the Theola
and it is the purpose of the owners
to make the Theola a genuine fam
lily playhouse and at this place they
will not only operate the moving
pictures but will also bring some
special attractions such as Playlets.
Dog and Pony shows, and other
things of the kind that will interest
the women and children.
This is a new venture for both of
the Mr. Lalas, but judging from
their experience in other business
it goes without saying that the the
atre's success will be complete.

Giant and Dwarf Honey Bees.

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of Hindustan
are to be found the smallest species
of honey bees in the world. These
dwarf honey collectors are known to
entomologists as Apis florea. Their
honeycombs are no longer than
child's hand and the cells are about
the size of small pin head. This
honey is excellent, as is the wax. The
little creatures build the comb on
the branch Of a low tree, and as they
have not to provide for winter they
work all the year through, raising
broods like themselves.
In the same land there is q species
of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large
as field cricket. These monsters Of
the bee world build honeycombs that
are from six to seven feet in length,
-four or more In width, and weigh
from 200 to 400 hounds each.

CHARACTER IN WOMEN'S HAIR
Golden and Red-Headed Ones Can
Both Love and Hate ArdentIy,
Says Writer.

Have you a head of midbrown
tresses?
The majority of British girls are
brown haired-the coloring is typical
of our temperament, and shows a
happy blending of our traits, writer
in London Answers observes.
The head generally rules the heart
among women of this coloring, who
are blessed with a good supply of EEL
bow grease and common sense.
For vim and vivacity, look to the
curly-headed girl; her rfppling locks
are eloquent of vitality and energy
more than any other kind of hair This
girl belongs to the push and go" vari-
ETY., and is not easily baked in her
determination, and would never lose
an opportunity of promotion through
shyness or fear.
Next to her in energy comes the
straight-haired, dark woman. She has
not the vivacity of the woman with
curls, but she has intensity, passion,
and determination beyond other wom-
en-, and is able to influence others.
Impulsive, warm-hearted, yet trile
capricious is the woman possessing
golden or red hair. She can both love
and hate very ardently, but is not al
ways sincere in either.
Very fair-haired damsels are apt to
be rather colorless by nature as well
as by coloring, but they make excel
lent business women, and are usually
cool and collected in an emergency.
Refinement and gentleness is always
indicated by fine hair; coarse, heavy
hair generally denotes a strong con-
stitution and an obstinate disposition.

SERIOUS SITUATION IS FACED
BY COTTON SEED OIL MILLS
SMALL CROP Ny MAKE 1T I'M.
POSSIBLE FOR LOCAL PLANTS
TO OPERATE.

The shortness of the cotton crop
in this section is causing local cotton
seed oil mills to face a rather serious
situation, and a season of practical
idleness appears to be in store for
them.
There were at one time three cotton
seed mills in Columbus, but the nor
NAL crop Of 10000 bales, which was
the average for this county before the
boil weevil appeared, proved too small
to keep all them in seed, and one plant
has not been in operation for three
years. The two remaining plants
have managed to keep in more or less
continuous operation throughout the
winter months, but with the prospec-
tive yield cut to 5000 bales for the
coming season they can hardly hope
to secure sufficient seed to pay them
to start their machinery In motion.
The manager of one plant said that
no conference had been held and that
no plans for the approaching winter
had been made.
