than the Glynn County bank, of this

Just think, the deposits in this bank

Kelley was still grinning when he went
back to the Office.
From the Office he went into the long,
cavernous ware-room. A big door on the
canal side stood open. He caught the
sound Of voices beyond it, and approached
the door. A narrow dock ran along the
canal side of the building. Three men
were making some Encouragement of the
sacks of grain in funereal canal-boat.
A fourth man stood on the dock, over
seeing the work.
This fourth man was rather under me-
dunn height and spare. His shoes were
rusty; he wore frayed and baggy suit of
faded brown; his derby hat had seen long
service; one might guess his age at about
forty. A brown beard, short, thick, and
ragged, covered his cheeks and chin.
Contrasted with this mat of dark hair, his
face looked colorless. Aware of Kelley,
he glanced around. His eyes were brown,
liquid, luminous.
Smoking tobacco, Kelley explained,
was what he was looking for. Yes, Lowell
had the brand mentioned and led the
over the tin and took the yeggman's dime,
then gave him a handful of matches.
Standing before the counter, his stocky
legs somewhat apart, his fists thrust into
his coat pockets his hat over his brows,
his coldly twinkling little eyes upon the
merchant, Kelley did his best to be socia-
Bile. Behind the counter, gravely passive,
neither encouraging loquacity nor dis
couraging it, Lowell answered his ques-
tions-offering nothing himself, merely
passive; but answering always with per-
feet courtesy, in a low voice.
The business of the grain sacks waited.
Evidently no more trade was to be ex-
pected from this doubtful-looking Gus
toner with the exaggerated jaw; but, as
long as he wished to ask anything, the
merchant would stand there answering
with courtesy so fine, albeit so undemon-
strative, that plumes and ruffles would
not have been ashamed in it's company.
That was one reason why Lovell's COM
peted on rather better than even terms
with the railroad towns. 1t struck even
Kelley that the man was singularly self
contained. Only his luminous eyes
seemed, so to speak, to let him out.
Something else soon struck Kelley more
forcibly--that is, chunky, cross-bred
brindle dog that bounded in through the
front door, dashed around the counter,
stood on it's hind legs and rested its paws
on Lovel's frayed trousers, looking up
into the merchants face with that burst
ing devotion which only dog has the
trick Of. Lowell smiled little and put his
hand on the dogs head. Satisfied with

ginger cookies. On the other side we're
bolts of calico, sheeting, and the like.
That counter was piled with overalls,
felt boots, wool mittens, thick caps. The
space between the two counters was
heaped with haphazard agglomeration of
MISUNDERSTANDING, tinware, some OIL
lamps, set on two long tables; spades,
hoes, pitchforks, churns, lying or standing
on the floor. To avoid stepping on some
thing one must pick ones way.
The place seemed deserted, but at the
farther end door stood ajar. Kelley
looked about moment, then walked
'leisurely toward it, listened, and pushed
the door wide. 1t opened into a dusty
Office perhaps fifteen feet square. The
farther wall, above the wainscot was
paneled with glass, through which he
could see a long ware-room containing
merchandise of various sorts. A desk
with papers and a telephone on it stood
against this WALL and-what interested
the yeggman most-there was large safe
in the corner. ''
The Office had three doors-that by
which Kelley had entered from the store;
one in the glass-paneled wall opposite that
gave on the ware-room; and one in the
blank wall at the left. The latter was
shut. Kelley put his ear to it moment,
gently tried the knob, pushed it open, and
looked into a bedroom. The only light
came from the door in which he stood,
and from a window in the partition be-
tween the bedroom and the ware-room.
1t was bare sort of place, with a rag car
pet on the floor, small bureau and wash
stand, white iron cot. and a clothes
press A calico curtain hung diagonally
across the corner back of the cot.
With an interest that was partly pro-
fessional and partly just curious, the in
truder stepped over and lifted the curtain.
A triangular shelf of plank had been built
into the corner behind the curtain foot
above the floor. On this shelf stood
barrel with wooden spiget in it. Kelley
squatted down and put his nose to the
spigot. When he stood up again he
was grinning. The barrel contained
whiskey.
On the other side of the bedroom was
an apartment about as large as the office.
Its furnishing showed that it was used as
kitchen and dining-room. In these two
rooms, evidently, the proprietor lived
with barrel of whiskey in the corner.

The Baldwin Fair

The Baldwin fair, which is
Still in progress, has been one of
the most successful that that en-
terprising. town has ever had.
The exhibits Of farm products
are by far better than any col
lection that was ever gotten to-
gether in the county and goes to
prove that Notwithstanding the
seeming disaster to which our
crops were subjected in July. we
|sriIi have many things en- the
farm which escaped the storm.
The collection by the canning
club pirls is just fine. This
movement is in line with the
fair idea and adds no little to the
success of co lpty fairs.
The poultry entries were good
and covered the entire range Of
po1kry.

better than heretofore. This col
lection always covers every edi-
bic from the farm and Mrs.
Majors is an adept in bringing
together her home food products
to best advantage.
The entries of cattle were good
and We hope to be able next week
to publish a list of awards. G..
B.. Kirkpatrick had a fine bunch
of Red Polls entered and A. R.
Milan a number of Poll Angus,
both herds showing fine animals.
The entries of hogs were lin
tied, but some fine specimens
were shown. Smallwood and
Lake, of New Albany. had a fine
collection of Duroc Jerseys from
their farm, all of the animals
being perfect specimens Of their
breed.
Miss Lillian Wallace won the
blue ribbon as the best lady
horseback rider, Miss Boyd being
awarded the red ribbon.
The races were good. many en-
tries from prominent stables hav-
inc been entered in the weeks

FILM PICTURES Foa coNvicrs

Mississippi convicts are enjoy
ing motion picture shows. Henry
Ford, the automobile manufac-
turer, of Detroit, is furnishing
the films every week and the la
dies of Jackson secured sufficient
funds with which to purchase a
motion picture machine by public
subscription.
This innovation in convict life
will certainly meet with the APP
prevail of the public generally.
Because a man is deprived of his
liberty for an infraction of the
law is no reason why his lot
should be made unduly hard.
The introduction of this enter
tainment by Mississippi is the
first instance in which the NOV
ing pictures have been made to
entertain and instruct convicts.
It can be made to serve a splen-
did purpose in the way of edu-
eating the convicts who are shut
out from every avenue Of in
formation except that which j
permitted to reach them by the
authorities.
The selection of films will be
by a board who will no doubt
choose a class Of movies that will
be both ente stainfng and instruct
i've for the unfortunate people
that they are selected tor.

Work Day

To All Friends of Orphan Chill
dren in Mississippi.
Dear Friends:-I am writing
to call your attention to the fact
that Saturday. Oct. Ia, has been
set apart by the management of
1.-The Mississippi Orphans Home
as Work Day and the Sunday fol-
towing. Oct. Is, is special Or
phanage Day. By Work Day"
is meant that every friend of the
orphan children is requested to
give the proceeds of one days
work or the proceeds of one days
business for the support of our
22O orphan children. About 1886
children have been cared for
during the entire year and about
220 have been kept in the home
throughout the year. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that each church,
Sunday school class, missionary
society, Epworth League and in.
dividual will observe this day for
the orphan children. We appre-
ciate very much the response by
all who have observed one Sun
day regularly during the year.
In many cases the receipts have
been liberal and generous, but
these funds have not been suffi-
clent to meet our necessary ex-
penses. A number of bills have
had to go over without being
paid until after Work Day. Each
pastor ard superintendent is re-
quested to appoint a special COM
mittee to carry out the program
for Orphanage Sunday, as puE
lished in Our Home, and to re-
ceive the proceeds of Work Day
and forward same to the Meth
odist Orphanage. Special envel-
opes should be distributed at least
one week in advance of Work
Day. These should be procured
from your printer and same be
paid for out Of the proceeds of
Work Day, or where it is not
convenient to have them printed.
a request to the manager of the
orphanage will bring a supply,
free of charge.
Let US all pull, plead and pray
for a great Work Day.
Yours for the orphan children.

: SOLID SOUTH AND HUGHES
Editor New York Commercial.

Eiltor New YORK commercial,
Sir:-In talking with a prominent
man of affairs today from the South,
he stated that while the South was a
Democratic section, a large majority
of the thinking men of the South were
going to cast their vote forAlr. Hughes.
He stated further that a great many
voters in that section were exceedingly
displeased with President Wilson'S at
titude and action in the matter of the
recent railroad legislation.
The coming election, therefore,, it
seems to me, offers a great opportunity
for the "Solid South" to prove to the
citizens of the United States that their
thinking men are in the majority.
Yours truly,
DAILY READER.
The above is a reprint from
the New York Commercial of
Friday, Sept. s, 1916. 1t was
mailed to The Journal evidently
by that paper for reproduction.
We reproduce it that we may
denyin toto the sentiment which
Daily Reader" ascribes to the
Solid South.
The conversation which this
reader of the Commercial claims
to have had with a prominent
Southerner, if such a conversa-
ton ever took place, does not in
any way represent Southern SEN
timent. No President has ever
had the South behind him as SOL
idly as MIR. Wilson has today.
The South has perfect confidence
in his integrity and we know
down here that whatever he may.
do as President he will do with a,
conscientious regard for the peo-3
pie of all sections. Mr.. Wilson
did in the railroad controversy
what Mr.. Hughes evidently would
not have done had he been Pres
ident. Mr.. Wilson averted the
strike by getting Congress to
pass an act establishing the eight
hour day for the railroads. Mr..
Hughes would have had the
strike because he favors the rail-
roads and every other money in
terest. AS Governor of New
York he vetoed the two cent rate
act of the Legislature.
The representatives of the peo-
pie felt that the vast number of
passengers on the New York
roads would compensate the
roads at two cents, but Mr..
Hughes stood by the railroads
and maintained the old rate of
three cents per mile.
The above correspondence is
evidently being mailed all over
the South with the hope that it
may influence our people against
Mr.. Wilson. We understand,
however, the difficulty of his po-
sition and the South is more SOL
idly behind him today than it has
ever been behind any President.
The thinking men of the South
are in the majority and they are
going to keep the South in the
Democratic column.

Memphis, Birmingham aud At.
lanta Eighway

mingham and Atlanta will pass
have been invited to I'd q
meeting of the Memphis, Bir-
mingham and Atlanta Highway
Association, which meets in Bir-
mingham Oct. 6 and 7.
At this meeting a permanent
organization will be perfected
and a decision made to determine
the route from Memphis via Bir-
mingham to Atlanta.
Lee county and Tupelo should
be represented at this meeting.
An effort will be made to carry
this route parallel with the Illinois
Central Railroad from Birming-
ham to Corinth and on to Mem
phis. This is an BILE
proposition and Tupelo cannot
afford to let the route go any
where except through her gates.
The road has been built with the
exception of a few gaps from
Birmingham to the Alabama line
just east of Fulton. Here the
advocates of the northern route
would divert it via Corinth and
along the Southern RAILROAD into
Memphis. 1t behooves us to get
busy on this project and close up
the gap between the Alabama
good roads and Fulton. With
this done the route comes our
way. The western end of the
road is practically settled. From
hereit will go to Pontotoc, from
Pontotoc to Oxford and at Oxford
it will strike the Jefferson Davis
Highway and on to Memphis
through Lafayette and Marshall
counties, via Collierville, Tenn.
The Alabama people are behind
a movement to apply the federal
aid which will go to that state in
part to the building of this high
way.
That portion of the route in
Mississippi has been practically
provided for, with the exception
of the gap from Fulton to the
Alabama line. The road from
Fulton to Tupelo has been built,
the road between Tupelo and
Pontotoc is under construction.
as is the case over most of the
territory between Pontotoc and
Oxford. Lafayette and Marshall
counties have already surveyed
their roads and bond issues made
to secure funds with which to
build them. 1t will thus be seen
that the road is practically as
sured and the filling in of a few
short gaps will make the con-
Meeting links to one Of the great
est highways of the south.
The good roads movement
originated in Tupelo. Everybody
that goes tobuild a good road of
course thinks Of Tupelo and our
Alabama neighbors very natural
ly want their line connecting
on the west to run
through 9upelo.
A meeting is called for this az
ternoon at four o'clock at the
court house for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to attend the
meeting 10 Birmingham
on the 9Th and 7th Of October.
Let every business man be there.
It is important and he should
come and lend his influence in
this movement.

GOOD IDEA FOR APPETIZER
Meant to Take the Place of Soup as a

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Billy had only n man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find a man to fill in. He drew a big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex'
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for a homer. Instead of running
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled, Run, you boob
rum"
The hick turned Snd faced Bill and
in a slow voice drawled: mo, sir,
won't run. I'm no coward. I'll admit
I lost your ball, but | got the money
right here in my pocket to pay for it,"

SERVING THE NEW POTATOES
Vegetable Always Welcome May Do
Put Upon tho Table In q Va
riety Of Ways.

New potatoes are a very interesting
vegetable. Here are some Of the
methods of preparing them that add
to their interest.
One Of the best ways Of cooking
them Is to steam them. They should
be freed from skin and placed in the
top part of a steamer and cooked u n
til they are Just tender.
A good way to boil new potatoes Is
to scrape them and put them in cold
water with a sprig Of mint, and then
boil them till done. The mint adds
a delicious flavor.
Another is to mix them with small
beets, boiled and equal in size to the
potatoes, sliced thin in whole slices.
These slices should be dressed with
French dressing and a little onion
Juice.
Boiled or steamed new potatoes can
be rolled in melted butter and
chopped parsley, and sprinkled with
pepper and salt.
Fried new potatoes are novel pre-
pared in this way: Scrape the pota-
toes, and then with a sharp knife be-
gin cutting them as If you we're par
ing them, around and around in a
long spiral. Fry this in deep, hot
fat. The spiral should be as long
as possible.
Salad made from new potatoes is
better than that from old. One way
to make it is to cut the boiled new
potatoes into dice and mix with well
seasoned mayonnaise.
