TAKE PRIDE IN MORSE ORIGIN
hatives OF Orkney Islands Refuse to
Admit That They Are Of Scot

Miss Elinor Root, who has been Wis.

tells us that the natives are very
proud of their Morse origin. indignant
ly repudating the idea that their for
bears were Scottish.
People dc not speak here with
nearly so broad an accent as the peo-

My hostess stiffened visibly.
They are not Scotch. We are not

Il GOT A WHITE MAN
WORKIN' FER ME-"

The Cheraw Chronicle, in the
following editorial. speaks of one
of the greatest hindrances to
the enforcement of the anti
liquor laws:
The charge is made that sew
eral white men in Camden are
furnishing the money with
which to buy liquor and have
negro agents hired to do the
selling. There must be some
thing in the charge, for as soon
as the rascals get in Jail they
are able to employ counsel and
furnish most any amount of
bond. The county and city au-
thorities should lend their best
efforts towards breaking up this
evil. A white man so low down
is not a desirable citizen and
should be doing time on the chain
gang"
Cheraw is not singular in this
respect; almost everywhere
wherever the blind tiger -four
lShes-the "nigger" does most
of the selling while some white
men stands behind him to push
him on. If the nigger is
caught, the white man comes to
his rescue to stop the prosecu-
tion, or, if Ire cannot do that, to
pay the fine, if it is not too large
-and then puts the nigger un-
der contract so as to make him
pay the advancement" back.
And the nigger sings 81 got er
white man workin' fer me-" and
feels his importance and grows
insolent and has a contempt for
law, while, poor fool, he does not
dare to tell on the white man,
knowing if he does he will be
taken out and strapped within
an inch of his life.
Such niggers are not worth
the powder and lead it would
take to kill them, and ought to
he run out of the county: but
that cannot be done legally
what can be done, however, and
ought to be done, is for the leyis-
lature to remove the alternative
OF a fine from violations of the
lquor laws; and then when the
TOOL niger is convicted he will
nave to go to the chainpanp
and the white man who is WORK
ing for him can't pay him out
and certainly will not serve the
day for him.
The state wide prohibition law
goes INTO effect the first of Ian
uary; and it ought to be under
stood at the beginning that vio-
!ations of the law are going to be
punished, impartially and severe
~; whether the offenders he
"hlte or black. A prohibition
law without enforcement is
worse than no law at all.-New-

PARCEL POST MARKETING.
Suggestions for Producer and
Consumer Each to Consider
in Dealing Through the
Post Office.

In Deallng through the
Post Office.
The farmer who wishes to sell
his products by parcel post, and
the housewife who wishes to use
this method of securing country
produce for her table, will find
many useful points in Farmers
Bulletin 703, Suggestions for
Parcel Post Marketing" This
bulletin, in addition TO explain
ing the postal rates and measure
mcnt limits for parcel post mat
ter, discusses in some detail the
types of containers which are
most successful, and the methods
of grading and packing produce
so that it will reach the consumer
in good condition and be attrac-
tive in quality and appearance.
In treating standards for parcel
post shipments, the bulletin tells
how to select. handle, and pack
poultry, and how to grade and
pack the various fruits and veg
etables which the average farm
er is likely to market through
the post office.
The bulletin points out that
one or the common obstacles to
establishing parcel post commu-
nication between farmer and
consumer is that the farmer may
be unwilling to offer goods at a
price which attracts the custo
mer, or that the consumer may
offer a price lower than the far
mer can obtain at ocal market.
TO quote the bulletin:
Not only must the farmer
have something additional to the
usual price to compensate him
for the extra work, container.
and postage required, but the
consumer must also have some
thing to attract him to market
ing by parcel post. In determin-
ing what the price shall be, both
the larm price and the retail
price paid by the consumer when
he markets in the ordinary wav
should be taken into considera-
ton. The consumer must receive
either a better article ut the us
uaI retail price or an article of
the grade usually purchased at
some concession in price.
1T is probable that the poirt
which will make the strongest
appeal to the average consumer
is that he can secure by parcel
post fresher, brighter, more at
tractive, and thus possibly a bet.
ter product than he can obtain
otherwise.
Ihe average producer, as a
rule, does not realize the imnort
ance of appearance as a factor in
selling goods and frequently is
carelss and Indifferent in prepar-
ing produce for market. The
consumer on the other hand re-
lies very largely upon appearance
In selecting food supplies and un-
attractive articles are passed by
promptly.
"A personal acquaintance
should be established between
producer and consumer when
they come into business contact
This will help a great deal in
turthering parcel post market
ing, and also will eliminate manv
of the misunderstanding which
may occur from time to time. A
definite understanding should ex-
list as;to the duties of each in re-
gard to remittances, claims for
damaged or spoiled produce, and
the preservation and return Of
containers"

THE AFTER-WAR SURPLUS
OF WOMEN.

a problem that has long engag-
ed serious attention and mani
'estly the results of the war
will greatly increase its difficult
ties. Before the organized
slaughter of the young men
commenced it was estimated
that the surplus of women was
not less than two millions. In
Germany alone there were 845,-
600 more women than men, and
in France the surplus of wom-
en- amounted to 645,000. The
loss of men in both these coun-
tries has been much greater
than in England since the war
began, but England's losses
may be almost as great before
the struggle ends, and what is
to be done about it in these
three leading countries of Eu-
rope?
Already the governments of
Germany and Austria are said
to have advised their women
to supply themselves with hus-
bands from among the manned
and crippled who have crawled
from under the crushing war
machine, urging such a course
as patriotic duty. But this
asks of women a greater pa
triotic devotion than is demand
ed of men and the scheme is not
likely to be successful to anv
large extent. Like many anoth-
er loving women, Jane Eyre de-
voted herself whole e-heartedlv
to her injured Rochester, but
her heart had been previously
won, and this makes all the diff
ference in the world. A much
more promising plan, open to
belligerents with colonies. is to.
induce n large lot of the surplus
to emigrate after the war to
distant lands where there is a
large majority of men. This
Scheme has alNady been engi-
neered by the British govern
ment with more or less of sat-
lStactory result.
flfteen years ago the gov
ernment at London was renort

Although he has held a posi-

DR.. Brough's father, a Yam

Pennsylvania to Mississippi dur

accept a government appoint

father went from Pennsylvania
to Mississippi because he was
offered a good job at fat sal

Loyalty Always Pays
Big Dividends

We read much in the public
press today Of loyalty to our
country
1t is well, for if any man on
earth has reason to feel loyal
to his country for benefits con-
ferred, that man is the Ameri-

But there is another loyalty
which ranks side by side with
that of country and that is 'sloy-
atty to home and homepeople. /"
We have q community here
in which any people might feel
a just pride, and we have apeo-
pie wholly on a par with the
community, though there are
times when we are neglectful
of our interests and unmindful
of the disintegrating conse-
quences fundamentally ensue.
Loyalty always pays divi-
