of the motion picture stars, comes

Through Lies Seive,

Some time ago stood in a can
ming factory and watched them
grade peas. The inspector didn't
carefully sort out the large peas
from the small ones as the great
containers were brought to him.
He just dumped the whole lot into
an inclined chute with a sieve bot
tom, and as the peas rolled down
they sorted themselves. The little
fellows were the first to roll through
the meshes and disappear. Down a
little farther the meshes got larger
and the next size dropped out of
sight. And so on until only few
large sized ones rolled out at the
end of the chute. None of these
peas were deliberately selected.
They just sort of selected them
selves. And that's the way we all
go through life's sieve. We are
poured in at the top, chaotic green
mass, and we gradually sort our
selves. AS we come opposite the
mesh which seems to fit our capaci-
ties, in we pop and there we stay
until canning day comes. We are
not personally selected. We just
sort of select ourselves, and if we
wind up in what we think is the
wrong bin we may curse our miser-
able luck, but there we are, and we
are generally there because we were
so small in some dimension that we
just couldn't help slipping through.
And bear this in mind as you travel
down the chute. Near the begin
ming the crowd is so great and there
seems so much competition among
the little fellows that some chap may
roll past his proper destiny. But at
the end, after most of the sorting is
done, so few are left that there's no
slipping by. Mighty few travel the
whole course and wind up with the
big boys at the end of the chute.
Mighty few are big enough.-R II
Medlork.

CEDAR SWAMP HAPPENINGS.
Enjoyable observation-disclosures
Takes Two Games from Locals.

Cedar Swamp, June l%:-Last
Thursday, on the cool and shady
bank of the historic Black river, at
Sims Reach bridge, small crowd
from both sides of the river met for
q days outing. The morning hours
were whiled away pleasantly and
rapidly, for it seemed very soon when
dinner was announced. The picnic
folk encircled a large white linen Ia
BILE cloth spread on the ground and
upon which was veritable feast of
good things to eat. Those present
from the south side of the river
were: Mesdames W B Brown. W B
Mccullough, Misses Pearl. Wylma,
Matte and Virginia Mccullough,
Jennie Salters and Mcssrs Manson
Brown, Jack Salters, Lex McClary
and julius Lifrage. From the north
side: Misses Flossie Kellahan. Sadie
! Snowden. Eulah and Lucille McCul-
Tough, Mrs Nita Epps and Messrs
Jack and Will Mccullough and W E
Snowden. In the afternoon most of
the happy party spent the time attir.
ed in their bathing suits frolicking
in the flowing stream. When the
shadows began to lengthen. which
was signal that the parting hour
had come, the happy crowd bade
each other adieu and wended their
way homeward.
Friday afternoon Miss Amanda
Edwards, accompanied by Mrs Lulu
Barr and Miss Louise Barr, visited
our community. Miss Edwards gave
a canning demonstration for the
benefit Of a number of ladies who
assembled at the home Of Mrs j G
Mccullough. Refreshments were
served in the open air in manner
most charming, especially to the few
members of the masculine persua-
sion present.
The boys from "hustling Heming-
way" motored early Saturday morn
ing to this section to cross bats with
the local team. To say the least, the
game was spirited from start to fin
ish, and for a long time it was hard
to guess which would be the winning
side. The score man was marking
zeros for both sides for several in
nings. Finally the double H HIS"
made a few home runs that won for
them a decisive victory. A second
game was called, and the home boys
thought the table had turned" and
it appeared that way, for the scores
were two for Cedar Swamp and one
for Hemingway until the last in
ming. The visitors made desperate
effort to win, and the locals had to
submit to second defeat.
Misses Beth McGill and Sue Nc
Neal leave today to attend the sum-
mer school at Coker college.
Mr. Mordaunt Mcconnell of Kings
tree, who recently graduated from
Clemson college, is visiting his friend.
Jack Mccullough, Of this place.
The farmers are rejoicing over
the propitious season we are having
to destroy grass and cultivate the
young crops. Corn is very promising
up to date. Most of the tobacco is
yet small, and so is the cotton that
was late to get up. w ES.
