THOSE BLUE LAWS: RETROSPECT

Mr.. Editor
| have been much interested III some
If your recent eXited remarks about
Blue Laws and have wondered if
we really have an adequate conception
Of the origin and true meaning of the
Term.
blue Laws" is a name given, usual
~ III derision to more or less eXager-
ated accounts of certain enactments
Of the early Puritan founders OF the
Colony of New Haven, in Connecti-
cut. Especially is it applied to their
holding Sabbat breaking to be most
Gdious
The austere, unmiXed Calvinism OF
.hese early Puritan settlers OF New
england. -someone has called them
The Brahamas of Puritanism '-pro-
luced some rather severe enactments,
but they were not essentially different
rom the other Puritans of New Eng
land In fact, the expression Blue

hat We often hear the expression
Blue Laws Of Puritanism.' Truly.
their origin and usage, the terms
ere almost synonymous.
Should we not hesitate before
;peaking with sarcasm and contemptu-
1us diSdain of the enactments OF the
Early fathers of New England? Is
puritanism so bad, then, after all?
The historian, George Bancroft,
iays: "Puritanism was a life giving
spirit: activity, thrift, intelligence.
followed in its train: and as for cour-
lge. coward and a Puritan never
went together"
We. of the south, in memory of
glorious ancestry, love to think OF the
chivalry and knightly honor of the
early settlers of Virginia and the Car
| oliniaS. from which we are, most
sprung. This same historian, Ban
croft. contrasts the virtues of Chiv-
airy and Puritanism in such strong
language as this: The knights were
brave from gallantry of spirit; the
| Puritans, from the fear of God. The
knights obeyed the law OF honor; the
Puritans hardened to the voice of du-
ty. The knights were proud OF loyal

airy delighted in outward show, favor
cd pleasure, multiplied amusements,
md degraded the human race by an
exclusive respect for the privileged
classes; Puritanism bridled the pas
ions, commanded the virtues of self
denial, and rescued the name of man
rom dishonor The former valued
courtesy; the latter, justice. The
t1rmer adorned society with graceful
refinement, the latter founded nation
al grandeur on universal education.
The institutions Of Chivalry were sub
erted by the gradually increasing
weight and knowledge and opulence
Ct the Industrious classes; the Puri-
fans, rallying upon those classes,
lanted in their hearts the undying
rinciples of democratic liberty"
Time has been silently softening the
Gsperities of Puritanism, and today,
we live in the full enjoyment of the
freedom which it fostered. Would it
not be we'll, then, that we do honor to
ne memory of "Puritanism"? It's in

HER MONUMENT.

Her life is monument enough" is
an expression taken from memorial
prepared by members of Bay Springs
church in conference with reference
10 Young lady member whose death
had taken her from the community.
It is not often that such statement
Is made, written and incorporated in
to church conference. An unusual
tribute follows in a paragraph taken
from the memorial as it appeared
last week in The Dispatch:
"She was loved by young and
old alike, but those of her age
will miss her more on account of
constant communication and asso-
citation. Her grave does not need
mark for Bay Springs communi-
ty to remember her. Her life is
monument enough in its commu-
nication with us"
No matter what age or calling, when
/ community has learned to love and
ppreciate any one person as Bay
springs seemed to love and esteem
Miss Annie Hauesler, is is thing
are.-something unusual to find what
GEMS to be such an expression OF
Universal sorrow.
How we wonder at the good traits OF
eharacter which must have been hers!
She was only member of house
hold in the community, going back
and forth to her duties, but as she
went how her smiles and pleasant
words must have penetrated to the
depths of the soul on all sides If
.er life was not an unusual one, how
should a whole community rise up and
,,eclare to the world that her grave
deeds no mark for Bay Springs to
cemember her?
She must have been true Chris
ian, living a life stripped of all sham,
of all hollow forms, and fawning
Batteries. There was all of the true
ing in it. We know it. You know
it. The people of Bay Springs will
Ne able to distinguish it as something
different for many, many years. The
rue ring in that young life found its
way into the lives of everybody, all
1ver the community, and though she
$ gone will her example be forgot
on?

MEANING OF SMALL ACREAGE

A. j. Clary of Arab and Peter Dock
weller residing near Cordele, are two
risp county farmers whose record
Il cotton growing are worth studying
Farmer Clary got q bales of cotton
rom II acres of land. Farmer Dock
weller got IL bales from ten acres
this year. Everybody knows how
lard the cotton was hit in July and
verybody knows how apparent the
iamage was. Such crops in the face
u this weather would indicate that
cotton can be made if it is worked
rcoperly.
But this is not intended to encour-
age large ACREAGE. On the contrary,
small acreage now is more important
than it ever was. owing to the advent
# the weevil. These two farmers
lave done the work as it should be
lone in weevil infested districts. The
farmer most known how to get large
reld off small acreage. This will
mean his fortune in cotton raising
Heretofore it has been the reverse,
large acreage and small yield, This
the law. All those who know are
aging it over and over again. And all
he time the farmer is doing just like
III other farmers. He is going to butt
;tumps with his own head till he finds
his is true. The Alabama farmers
nave advised those of our farmers
who have been over not to worry
about their neighbors about what they
saw in Alabama, for the reason that

themselves.

quarters of the weevil Better burn
everything in TIL hedges, on the ditch

are too many cotton stalks standing

made on way of resisting the weevil

YYAVE you seen that woman lately m you know her name-who is so
 devoted to her children that she has not left them for single day in these many years? Did you again envy and admire her devotion as you used to? Or, now that you know some thing more about children and about mothers, did you rather pity the chil- dren-and the mothers?
 At first thought it does seem so ad- mirable that a mother, in her con scientious devotion, should be con tinuously looking after the details of her children's welfare, so that they are hardly ever out of her sight. But when we consider the purpose of such devotion we may we'll question whethr CT, after all, the thought and care of such mothers are wisely applied. If we were 10 be merely the tenders and housekeepers for our children it would be well, in the interests of the chil- dren, that we took an occasional day for resting and refreshing the spirit.
 The mother who assumes her task in meek resignation may glory ill her martyrdom but she is likely to be- come dreadfully monotonOus-which is not very good for the children. For we expect the mother to be more than n nurse or housekeeper She is to be their companion and constant source of inspiration. This she cannot be if she allows herself to become a slave to detail and routine.
 In emergencies we all know that it is possible to arrange for a hurried departure and an indefinite absence from our regular duties. With little torcthought 1t should be possible to

Birds That Talk

In England more than in this coun- try do we find birds that are taught to talk. The raven, the jackdaw, the mag Die and the jay may all he trained to initiate sounds and to utter words and even sentences distinctly; but more familiar to most people are the talk ing birds of the parrot tribe, which &C., quire the gift of speech in far greater perfection than any other of their species. The voice of the parrot is also much more human in it's tone; the raven is too hoarse the jay and the magpie are too shrill; but there are modulations In the parrots notes when speaking that are sometimes absolute ly uncanny in their weird resemblance to the human voice divine" This su- periority is due to the construction of its beak, its tongue and head. The par rot, too, has a wonderful memory, and rarely forgets what 1t has once thor oughly learned.

\ NAME By EARL REED SiLNERS.

Two days before the Junior prom enade Shrimp" Black received by mail delicious box of homemade fudge. Inclosed in the box was 6 small piece of lavender paper, on which were written the words. I'll see you at the dance. Gertrude"
 Shrimp drowned He knew good many girls, but for the life of him, he couldn't think of single Gertrude among them. The package was post marked White Plains, N. r., but this made the mystery only more baffiing. He didn't know single person in White Plains.
 At the house party preceding the "prom" he examined the fair guests with unusual interest, wondering if by any possibility the one who had sent him the candy was among them. Seated directly opposite him at the supper table was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Directly after sup per he presented himself for introduc- tion.
 "This is Miss Huntley of White Plains" the chaperon announced.
 Shrimp's heart stood still.
 ''Im delighted to meet you," he stammered. T didn't know anyone was coming here from White Plains"
 She smiled up at him.
 "Why not from White Plains?" she asked.
 "Oh, no reason at all," he assured her. Then he added, T know a girl in White Plains. Her name Is Ger trude."
 What's her last nameT
 "I don't know" %ls
 "What? You don't know?"
 "I'll tell you all about It." he an- nounoed, If you'll tell me your first name."
 But Shrimp was doomed to disap- pointment, for at that psychological moment Bill Scudder, his roommate, appeared on the scene.
 ''If you want to get to the dance on time." he advised Miss Huntley, you'd better start getting dressed now"
 According to the established custom of roommates, Shrimp and Bill Scud- der exchanged the second dance.
 "I believe we were talking about names when we were interrupted" Miss Huntley began, as soon as they whirled off together. "You were go- ing to tell me about that Gertrude, from White Plains"
 q was," Shrimp answered, "but I've concluded not to do 1t until you tell me your name."
 Well compromise She threw back her head and smiled up at him. You tell me the story first, and then maybe I'll solve the mysterys'&

1.-TWO days ago." Shrimp began. "l received box of candy from White Plains. In it was note from girl named Gertrude"
 What did the girl l1say in the noteT "That she'd see hle at the dance
 And you haven't seen her yet?'' T don't know" Shrimp's eyes ques- toned her. What do you think?'
 "Ohi think you'll meet her, all right" She hummed softly. "This is a wonderful dance, isn't it?"
 The music stopped, and Shrimp led his partner to the porch of the gym l nasium.
 You haven't told me your name," he reminded her.
 "Well!" She hesitated, and the music for the next dance foated out to them. My first name Is Doris"
 "Oh!" Shrimp's face registered dis appointment Honest Indian?"
 Honest and true" She looked at him with mock seriousness. Are you dreadfully disappointedT
 "Yes." Shrimp spoke dejectedly. "I had set my heart on your being Ger trude."
 Bill Scudder, glancing through the open door, saw them.
 "This is my dance, Gertrude" he called.
 'So it is! Good-by, MT. Black"
 "Well, what do you know about that!" Shrimp watched until Scudder and the girl had disappeared.
 Finally, the evening wore away, and he found himself dancing with her again.
 Twill you please tell me what your first name really is?" he asked.
 She looked at hin soberly.
 "On my honor," she answered, "my first name is Doris"
 "Then why did Bill call you Ger trude?'
 Because that's what all my friends My name Is Doris Gertrude Hunt ley"
 "Oh!" Shrimp's face cleared. And are you the girl who sent me the candy?"
 "Yes. It was Bills idea; he want ed to tease you"
 "Well, the old codger!" Shrimp was silent for moment, evidently debat- ing the wisdom of his next move. but finally he decided to plunge. T ought to pay you back for that candy" he suggested.
 "Yes, you ought"
 Don't you think 1t would be a good idea for me to give you box in re- turn?
 "Fine!'
 "If I sent It." Shrimp continued, 'it might get lost"
 Maybe you'd better bring it person ally"
 Shrimps eyes beamed.
 Next Tuesday night" he said, "Fll take it to you in White Plains" She nodded And" he added, after pause, 'Tm glad your name is Ger trude."
