HERO WORSHIP TOO COMMON
Absurd Failing Which Seems to Have
Remarkable Hold on Majority
Of Mankind.

Americans, like most other people.
disposed to do moderate amount
of hero worshiping. One phase Of 1t,
says the Kansas City Star, is the re-
spectful hearing given on all subjects
to a man who has made success in
some one line. II a man is highly sue,
cessful in manufacturing tooth
brushes we assume that he knows all
about art and science.
There is Smith," we y. He is
a phenomenal maker Of socks. He
can turn them out at the rate Of TO-
900 pairs a minute. He is getting rich
by his ability to make socks so rap
idly without dropping stitches in
them. Besides, it is said the socks
really wear well. That being the case,
what do you suppose he thinks about
the ethics of that Chicago baby case.
Let US get his opinion as to the de-
STABILITY of encouraging the modern
schools Of art We surely must ask
him what to do about typhoid vacct-
nation. When does he think the war
will end?"
Of course, Smith may never have
given any attention to these subjects.
He may have been so busy perfecting
the machine for speeding up without
dropping stitches that he may have
no ideas whatever on the European
war or the immortality of the soul or
the higher criticism Of the Bible or
the advisability Of masticating ones
food thoroughly, or the relative ad-
vantages OF Corot and Troyon as paint
ers.
Still, we write him letters and ask
him his views. Unless he is very
remarkable man he takes the ques-
tions seriously, Is immensely fattered
By them, and by and by comes to
think that having been successful IN
making socks he must be equally sue
cessful in every other line OF human
endeavor.
OF course, if he falls for this sort
Of thing, in time he is bound to make
some perfectly fool statement. When
he does this, we, are all as likely as
not to turn and rend him for being
an ass, when the original trouble was
with those Of US who insisted on his
qualifying as an expert on subjects
that he knew nothing about.

Card of Thanks.

The writer wishes to thank the Sum
merton Home Demonstration Club for
a most delightful day Friday the 18th
inst. Poultry Day, Of their meeting,
only regret is that was unable to a.
tend the three days of the meeting and
that more members Of the poultry asso'
citation could not attend and enjoy their
hospitality and Mr.. Clevelands inter
esting and helpful talk.
One of the things MIR. Cleveland said
that should make US think. was that
we could raise poultry and eggs as
cheaply as Tennessee and yet Teones-
see shipped poultry and eggs into our
State. This statement impressed me
very much, for eight or nine years ago
T passed through MorriStown, a small
place in east Tennessee about the size
of Manning. The June number OF The
industrial. hen has a very interesting
article which should help to open '.ur
ewes where tee opportunities are jdst
as great if we would get down 20 work,
first to raise the poultry ard then work
together for good market, the article
referred to says: Morristown. Tenn, ,
is fast coming into the line light as a
poultry center, during the past Var
more than two million and two huud-
red thousand dollars worth of poultry
and eggs have been shipped from this
district. While for weeks up there
they are showed under adding mater
tally to the enpence OF maintenance,
there are very few days in the winter
season that our birds can not be out On
green patches in the sunshine. Why
can not we farmers Of Clarendon get
some of this money, we need every man
ane woman in lhe county interested in
poultry to join our Poultry Association
and help US work for more and better
poultry. and then for better market.
we need the successful poultryman
who krows the whole business so we
can learn from him, and we need those
who know nothing to join our class SC
we can learn together.
Mr.. L. 3. McCord Secretary Or Mrs.
J. Med. McFaSdin Treasurer, OF Man
ming will answer all inquiries.

Reoimental journalism,

Steps have been taken by the au-
thorities of the British museum to Sc.
cure as complete a collection as pos.
sible of the regimental periodicals,
the production of which is one OF
the curious features of the present
war. Some of these publications are
printed and others typewriter. They
are not quite without analogy in the
history of past wars. The British who
were besieged at Mafeking during the
Boer war contrived to keep going a
little journal issued daily, shells per-
mitting." In the wars Of about CEN
tury ago Lord EXmouth, while carry
ing out a blockade of French ports,
had a printing press set up for the
amusement of officers and men en-
gagged in that tedious duty. They did
not attempt to produce any original
records or literary matter of their
own, but they printed several consid-
cradle works, and printed them, 1t is
said. very well.

Ocean Eats Away the Land.

Little children who played on the
beach last summer would be surprised
il they should go back to the same
place in few years to find it quite
changed. Old Ocean Is not satisfied
with the shore as it is, and he keeps
pounding at it all the year round, but
hardest in the winter. Down near
Baltimore the ocean sometimes comes
80 feet farther up In a year. At Rock
away Beach, Long Island, the coast
line has moved back a mile in 20
years. At certain place on the At
lantic City beach the ocean took rs
acres away from one owner and put 56
acres on another mans shore land, all
In ten years. Orchards and even for
ests disappear before the onward
marching sand.-From John Martins

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Worlds Markets Supplied With Dates
Which Are Grown on Spot BE-
ileved to Be the Site.

The London markets and stalls are
covered with dates which come from
the Garden of Eden.
\ palm tree yields approximately
400 pounds of fruit annually, which
represents an income OF about sS. It
takes nearly eight years to attain this
state OF perfection, but when once
reached, it continues for almost a
century.
Dates can be prepared in many
ways, and are packed according to the
country to which they are being sent.
For instance, dates destined fof
America are hand-picked, as the Amer.
leans will have no others; the Indians
like them sun-dricd; while we like
them wet" Our dates are prepared
in a special manner-they are piled
on mating and trampled into mass.
Tie date is not the only product OF
the palm. The stem furnishes kind
of timber, and the fibers. twisted, be-
come rope. Then, again, the buds are
quite fit to cat. and are considered by
some to be delicacy: and peasants,
too roor to afford a house, weave the
fronds into mating, and so make
quite a serviceable habitation. Crushed
date-stones form food for the cattle

Questionable Point of Law,

There appears to have been a con-
fict Of opinion among the early Eng
lish judges as to whether breaking out
was burglary ct common law. The
same doubt as to whether breaking
out constituted burglary at common
law: which existed among the early
English judges, has arisen among the
American judges. The recent case OF
Lawson vs.. Com. L. r. A. 1915D, 972,
holds that burglary may be estao-
lished by proof Of breaking out as well
as breaking in, under statutes proVio-
ing punishment for any one who snail
feloniously break any dwelling house
and take away anything Of value, and
requiring statutes in derogation Of the
common law to be literally construed
with a view to. promote their objects.

More for Use Than Ornament.

Mrs B., new to the neighborhood
where she lives, received her first in
vitation to an important social event,
and for the occasion arrayed herself
with becoming daintiness. It was one
of those murky evenings, not so very
far back, and to protect her feet on
the way from the door to her auto she
drew over her Cinderella party slip
pers a pair of storm rubbers-the kind
that look twice as big, because OF the
shield that comes up over the instep.
When time came to put on her wraps
to go home, she was Mortified to find
that she had been revealing to the
p olic gaze all evening combination
If party slippers, silken hosiery and
gum shoes. She had forgotten to re-
move her weather protectors.

Last Friday.

The first load of tobacco of this year
was brought TO Manning and placed ou
the floor of Clark's warehouse to await
the opening of the regular market,
which will probably be about August /.
This load weighed 652 pounds and was
raised by George Gibbons on what is
known as the Billy Cole place in the
Fork of Black River. The tobacco
crop in Clarendon this year is rather
short in acreage, but all who got their
plants out early are producing a fine
weed. The buyers and warehousemer
are predicting good prices this year.
