scarce. One man was here only four
weeks and he got a rating of third
class. They want them awfully bad.
I can take IL to Is words minute

Morse, isn't it?
Today we don't rate liberty and
was going to wash clothes, but they
picked out my company for working
party. Gee, I was mad.
l anne going to tell a few names
they give the eats. They call break
fast, dinner and supper, show; pota-
toes, spuds; butter, grease; bread,
punk; sugar, bitters; catsup, hot
stuff; all meat is dog. We have a
name for everything.
Did I tell you about Billy Sunday :?
I go and hear him every Sunday. The
Bible class gave me a bible so I am
not out one.

different for the farms are widely sep
arated enough to afford protection.
It has been proved, however, that
the contentious against the negro in
the southern rural communities are
made only by few leaders of the
south. Mr.. Weatherford found, on in
vestigating the conditions that the
contentious were denied by the major
ity of the south.
The question, though, Of the sup
port of schools and churches is the
strong argument for the advocates
of rural segregation for neither schc
can be efficient when supported by
half of the population.
This segregation movement has
many handicaps. First, the negro who
is Disseminated against in the country
will invariably move to the city. Here,
as everyone knows, he becomes men
ace to the community. The negro is
less able to bear the strain of excite
ment in the city than white man.
Second, such segregation would soon
mean a lack of proper labor supply
Many PLANTATION owners would oppose
this movement because they say that
there is no satisfactory labor supply
to the take the place of the negro who
is driven to the city. Third, this Sc
gregation would bring new labor prob
lens such as the East is now facing.
The negro, at least, has national PRIDE
and a common language with the
white people. Fourth, it would arouse
anew the old antagonism inasmuch as
it would be the white population dis
eliminating against the negro. Fifth,
that it would not be an advancement
economically, for the negro needs the
protection and advice of the white
man to carry on his farm successfully.
Sixth, the white man would be shift
ing the burden of responsibility. 1t Is
the duty of the southern white man &c
look after the negro who belongs tc
a much younger race and needs coop
Grafton of the white man.
It is, therefore, a great satisfaction
to feel that the rising generation
deal fairly with the black man and as
sumo the responsibility laid upon it.

sNew Brooms Raise Great Dust"
There is an oil dsaking that "new
brooms" sweep clean. l believe the
adage is wrong for I have been inter-
~ested and have been watching "new
brooms" for some time. My new the
DRY is that "new brooms" raise great
dust. In the house, new brooms do
not raise any dust but sweep nice and
clean. BY giving few examples.
am going to try and show you a new
interpretation-"New brooms do raise
a dust"
NY first "new broom" is some per-
son that comes to town. There is us
ually more discussion about new
lady, by the ladies of the town, than
about new man, for the ladies have
more time to gossip about such things
than man has. Nearly everybody is
interested in the lady, most of the
women try to see who can tell the
most about her. Some people think
she dresses in good taste and appears
at ease, others say, however, that she
was seen over at Mrs. Blacks there
fore she and Mrs. Black must be
quite "chummy." Mrs. Black isn't in
the stylish set, so of course, there

Thrilling Adventure With Wild Beasts
On Monday evening Ira C. Johnson
anG Byron F. Carr went up the lake
in search of game and strange adven-
ture, and when they had reached
point opposite what is known as the
Rowell place, about six miles up they.
found it in shape of a she bear with
a litter of pups. They had left their
boat and were in the woods some dis
lance apart when Johnson's attention
was attracted by the firing of his COM
panion's gun and his voice calling lus-
tily. He fastened to his assistance
and found him right in the midst of
the wild animals having shot a cub
from a tree, and as johnson came up
he let go at another of the young
bears which brought the mother bear
to the front. By this time Byron had
reloaded his gun and he fired at her
and then turned and ran, the bear fol-
lowing while Ira followed on and en-
ed the fun. Byron made good time
and so did the bear for short dis
lance when she fell from the effects
of the shot. They shot three cubs and
secured the old one and two of the
young ones, when they camped for the
night and came home with their game
on Tuesday morning. Ira says "a lit
tie more and that bear would have
chawed Byron"
