Such Langwidge

I,asked an Italian who speaks
correct English, which langu-
age his children learned to write
more readily, Italian or English.
Italian" said he. "Your Eng
lish words don't sound the way
they look"
To show wha! this poor man
had in mind, shall quote some
suggestions given to me by one
of the most famous scholars,
philosophers and professional
men in America. They show
what a curlicue language Eng
lish is:
Put it vice versa, and if laugh,
ter is latter, WHY is not daughter
dafter and slaughter slater?
Enough is enuff, but cough is
not cuff. However, if cough is
cawf, shouldn't enough be
enawf?
Plough is pronounced plow
and bough is bow, but cough is
not cow.
Moreover, a little Italian
knowing that cough is pro,
nounced coff, is liable to spell
the cup of morning beverage
cough phee.

Commissioner

Warehouse Commissioner
John L. McLaurin has evolved
a plan for checking the advance
of the boil weevil at the Savan-
nah river and thus hindering or
preventing its coming into the
Carolinas. His plan is to utilize
the river as a natural barrier and
to strengthen this by a 20-mile
strip on this side of the river in
which no cotton would be al
lowed to be grown. He has
studied the cotton situation in
this State as no other man per
haps, and he is recognized as
authority on matters pertaining
to welfare of the cotton farmer.
On the face his plan appears
feasible. We see no good rea-
son why this should not be done.
Partridges and other birds de-
stroy millions of insects. and the
birds are the farmers best friends.
Most farmers are coming to
realize this, and very few farm
ers are willing for their birds to
be killed. With the idea of pro-
tecting the birds and in this way
preparing for the coming of the
boil weevil a movement has
been started to get just as many
citizens of Chester field county
as possible to sign an agreement
not to kill any more birds this
year or next. In another place
in this paper may be found
a list of those who have signed
at Pageland, The SAME agree
ment is being signed in otner
parts of the county. A copy Of
this agreement wIll be kept at
This office, and any others who
are Willipenak sion here Ev+
Ga, 1s.mss in lie Comfy should
sign it. There are plenty of
ways in which the people may
find amusement without killing
he birds. 1t would be we'll for
the legislature to pass bill ma.
King it unlawful to kill birds at
Any season for a few years.
Come and signs the agreement.

What Sympathy Means.


Did you ever ask yourself what is
the greatest tragedy of life? Did
you ever ask yourself what is the one
lasting and indestructible joy of life?
What sorrow is without reparation2
What joy is untainted by bitterness?
Let me tell you. The greatest, the ir-
reparable sorrow of life is isolation; I;
the only cup of joy that has no dregs
is love and sympathy. This is true.
You may walk triumphantly through
poverty, deprivation, suffering and
helplessness, if only you march with
the love and the sympathy and the
goodwill as a lonely personal burden,
and you will be utterly defeated. The
weight Of life upon you, borne alone,
will be insupportable. Take life, full
of defeat and grief, of inevitable
losses and partings as it must be, with
all the love of your fellow man tc
brighten it, and life is success.-Delin
Gator.

pillows Too Hiqh.

"Of all the thousands of patients /
have seen in bed 1 have never met
with one who arranged his pillows
hygienically," said an eminent doctor.
Gan too high, far too high. High
pillows curve the spine, bend the neck
and thus prevent the free circulation
Of blood in the brain. You can never
get the full value out of a nights
sleep unless you fix your pillow so
low that the head and neck are Just on
a level line with the spine."
