A TRIP TO LOUISA FAIR.

One morning we started to the Louisa
Fair on 10. When we got there we got
off the train and went on to the fair
grounds. Then we went In to see the
Buckner prizes and then the Louisa
prizes. We saw the corn and the tall
sunf1owers and the large apples. Then
we went and got some ice cream. In
the evening we heard the band play
and bought some whistles. About 8
o'clock we saw the horse race. and a
friend of mine got the prize for riding.
We had a good time. Next thing we
saw was the automobile parade. The
cars were decorated so pretty. That
night we walked up to the station.
When the train came for lis to get on
we came home. When we got homo we
found all we'll. except my sister. She
was sick, and she soon got well:

CHARLES.

Once there was a boy named Charles.
whose parents were very rich. One
day Charles asked his mother could he
go out walking. His mother said:
yes"
He had not gone far when he saw
little boy sitting on log crying.
CHARLES asked him what was the mat
ter. He said: "My mother and father
are dead; my aunts. cousins and all
my people"
Charles said: What is your name p
"Bick." he answered.
Charles felt sorry for him. and said
Get up and go home with me-"
When Charles told his mother she
was very glad of another son.
They gave Bick a nice home, and
all he could ask for. These boys loved
each other always. Bick was great
comfort to his new friends.

OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY
THE CALL FOR MORE PORK

The United States department of ag-
riculture yesterday called upon the far
mers of the country in an affort to
increase the pork production OF the
coming year by at least fifteen per-
cent This is the direct call of the
country to its meat producing element
of citizens and is made in such man
ner as to reveal a certain vital i'm
portance. That the country and its al
lies in the war will need an increased
supply of pork there is little doubt and
the call is made now in time for the
response to amount to something. IT.
has been apportioned to us to increase
our own output fifteen percent and
we are told that this will have to come
Afifteen percent increase is moth
ing to a community that is going to
double its years work. Wehave that
set as a task and we are going to sell
twice as much pork the coming year
as we did last.
We were also told in the dispatches
yesterday that it would not become
necessary to increase the output in
any line but pork. At an associa-
ton meeting in Chicago a crowd of
meat producers and packers agreed
to ask the public not to consider it
necessary to have meatless days ex-
cept as to pork, These men declare
that there is an abundant supply of
other kinds of meat now on cold stor-
ageSall over the country and it is not
at all necessary to go half fed when
this is the case.
1t will be necessary for us to re
member that the call is for more pork
and That we are to do our very best
10 increase, our own amount that we
put on the market. None of us stop
to consider how well we have done
when we have raised our own supply.
What we are after now is the greatest
amount of pork that we can sell Ii
is this that the country is calling for
and the man among us who con get
to market during the year with the
greatest output is the man of the hour
The United States is to be depended
upon for the increase in pork produc
ton. The other nations of people in
the fight against Germany are going to
draw their pork supply from this ma
ton and when the increase in pork
is counted it must include what has
been done here in Crisp county.
The call is for more pork. Let us
remember this when we are laying
out the work of the new year. We car
raise it at a profit if it can be raised
and we might as well have our par
of the profit as long as there is any
coming.

NEGRO SUPERSTITION

In court room crowded with spec
tators yesterday typical negro gave
one of the best illustrations Of negro
superstition it has been our pleasure
to hear. We say pleasure adyisedly
for it was a pleasure unlike any we
have had in our long acquaintanceshir
with the negro, and it was the real at
traction for the house full of men who
were there to attend court.

BEHIND THE SMILE.

It's wonderful what man can
do
Net the supercilious smile, the
commissioning or incredulous smile
Not the smile induced by a witty
remark or ludicrous incident, but
the smile that's open, warm and
friendly.
When the power of a smile is
seen, one is apt to wonder why ev-
erbody does not go regularly into
the business of smiling. One who
smiles habitually seems to have
such easy sailing gets over the
rough places along lifeb highway
so smoothly and avoids the sharp
corners so neatly that everybody
il would seem, would smile as a
matter of good business.
But just as there are gold
bricks and bricks of gold, so are
there men and women whose smiles
come straight from merry hearts
and those whose smiling is put on
for purpose. The least of what
there is in a smile is what is seen on
the face The best of it is what's
in the heart.
For therein is the secret of the
power of a smile. 1t isn't in the
smile that the power lies, for the
smile is but a SYMPTOM symptom
of usefulness and charity within
that continually find their way to
the surface.-Albany Herald.
Thus closes the unfortunate chap
ter. When the board declared his
chair vacant the director Of the school
OF journalism ceased to be professor
and once more became plain "Mr."
Whipple. With the termination of
his connection with the great school
which he had failed to honor, there
also ceased need for further publicity
for him or any pacifist course he
may elect to pursue.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-12-06

| but this special case was new enc.
The negro who had played had played
and lost at game which revealed in
true manner that the superstition that
came with the black man from his
native haunts is still in him. One
negro who had worked hard all the
fall had let another through pure old
voodoo of the African type, get what
he had made and saved. The trick
ster got it with a cleverness that one
seldom witnesses in the dealings of
one negro with another.
The earnings and savings of the
one negro went under the pot there to
sweat out great piles of money which
would satisfy the needs OF everybody
concerned for all time. Graveyard
dirt the solemn confines of the cave
where the first scenes were laid, the
slight of hand trick that has followed
the negro ever since he has been 2
negro,-all these went on display in
court and in such manner as to make
the ever sympathizing white friend of
the negro know that the thrift and
the effort, the hard labor and industry
that the negro has learned since he
has been the ward of the white man,
are yet not all that he needs.
Not a white man in that court room
wanted to hear that hard working
negro had in this manner disposed of
his years savings. There was a pa
thos running through it all that one
conld not miss. The negro is so Of
ten thwarted in his primary ambition
to be his own master in the matter of
providing for himself There are so
many things that get in his way. He
meets many more difficulties than his
white friend ever hears of. His saw
ing is watched by those who know he
is trying to lay aside for rainy day.
Those who cannot get him by one ruse
try another and he knows this so we'll
that it is often hard for him to get
his own consent to start the very hab-
its that make him mean most as citi-
zen. Afe
Those who saw the case through
the court yesterday are again assured
that they are not wrong when they
credit the negro with a considerable
amount of superstition. The one ne
gro knows this too we'll about the 9TH
er. The white man more often tries
to protect the faithful uegro than he
tries to rob him. But the matter of
superstition is still predominating
factor with the negro He is more
than gullible and the trial in the court
yesterday revealed him at his worst
enemy in the matter of superstition.

THUS cLosETH THE CHAPTER

Richmond Times-Dispatch No
friend Of the University of Virginia
doubted for an instant what action
the board of visitors would take
when it came to consider the case
Of Prof. Leon Whipple, director of the
school of journalism. just as it was
expected to do, the board, by unami-
nous vote, declared the chair Of jour
na.ism vacant and ProE! Whiqqle's
connection with the faculty Of the
institution at an end Thus has the
school Of Jefferson purged itself OF
its pacifist professor, whose recent
utterances at Sweet Briar College and
at least bordered on the reasonable
and seditious. Action was taken
only after thorough investigation
which proved that far-reaching peace
propaganda was proposed, and the
accused teacher had ben given hear.
ing and ample opportunity to state his
case.
No other course was oqen to the
university whose name had been drag
Sed in the pacifiyt mire. It's fair
record of loyalty, devotion and ser
vice could not be stained by harbor-
ing as a member of its faculty one
who had so far lost sight Of his duty
to his country aun his state a. to pro
claim from the public platform senti-
ments calculated not Only to reta1G
the national preparations for liberty's
war, but to give all and comfort to
liderty's enimies. Nor can it lie said
that the university has violated in
practice of freedom of academic
thought or in deed it's theory and
thought and expression" to which it
has been committed since the days OF
its immortal founder, the father of
democracy. There is line which
separates free speech from the abuse
thereof, and Prof. Whipple, calmly
and deliberately and undoub:edl'
with full knowledge of what the con-
sequences would be, stepped over
that line. Probably he was sincere
in his sentiments, but that does not
detract from the fact that he sought
with prestige which membership in
in the faculty gave him, publicity for
his pacifist views. In the future the
former director of the school of jour
nalism will be able to pose as a mar
tyr to nothing but his own unwisdom.

OUT OF THE TRENCHES

One of the most encouraging an
nouncements of the past week from
the fighting front is that in which it
was stated that the enemy is being
forced from the trenches into open
warfare. If the allies are ever able
to get Germany above ground there
will very likely be some very interest
ing developments,
If the tanks serve no other purpose
than to bring the Germans out of the
ground to where they can be dealt
with as in open warfare, theirs will
have been great mission. 1t begins
to look as ii the next thing the Brit
ish have in mind is to force open war
and the moment this is secured it
will be possible to force a decision in
a reasonably short time. No news
of any character from Europe could
be more encouraging than that in
which we are told that Germany will
soon have to face the conflict in the
open. That ought to occur just as
soon as the allies are ready to fight
at their best.
