STORM AT SILVERSTREET
LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON

There was considerable storm
and some hail with the rain at and
near Silverstreet last Friday after
noon. The big oak tree in front of
the residence of Mrs. Fannie Maffett
was blown down and several small
houses on Mr.. J. M. Alewine's place
Just above Silverstreet were blown
down. A big tree near the residence
of Mr.. J. W. Crouch was uprooted
which Mr.. Crouch says is 200 years
old and has withstood the wind and
the storm all these years, and he
concludes that this was the heaviest
wind in the two centuries. The tree
was some five or six feet in dame
ter. On Mr.. H. o. Longs place there
was considerable hail doing damage
to corn and other crops. The hail
was heaviest, possible at Deadfall
and just this side.
The rain ceased or there was none
Just beyond the city limits until you
reached Mr.. Hilliard Longs and
then from there on to the river and
possibly beyond it was heavy. The
recent rains have been spotted so to
speak.

The Tree Bears Bitter fruit.
Farm Life.
There was a time when good
many of us, seeing certain evils OF
corporation control, advocated gov
ernment ownership, especially of the
wires and the transportation lines.
But we have tried complete govern
ment control and operation, and our
enthusiasm for the plan is down to
the lowest point. 1t may be admit
ted, fairly, that wartime measures
are not conclusive. The indications,
however, are not favorable to gov
ernment operation, and it seems like
ly that the congress, now in special
session, will turn back the railroads
to their owners. The question IS due
to cause US trouble before it is fin
ally settled, and the greatest wisdom
and liberality will be needed on the
part Ct our legislature. Whoever
tries to make partisan political capi-
tai out of a national difficulty will
not be readily forgiven by the peo-
ple. The clearest fact at present is
this: Present day experiments in So
cialism. here and elsewhere, do not
offer much encouragement for the
growth of the movement.

Sacred Tooth of Buddha.
r r He1lenos in Asia

IF. B. R. Hellems in Asia.
To make full confession had not
even known that the festival would
fall in the year of our visit, not to
speak of the very week. Of course
every lover of the east has learned
that the sacred tooth is exhibited
every five years for the alteration Of
the faithful, and that in the interval
neither prince nor millionaire can OBJ
tain a glimpse Of it's venerable form.
Both the official head of Buddhism
in Ceylon and the British representa-
tive would have to agree to any de-
parture from this usage, so the rule
is strictly observed. One instructive
!ly asks why the relic is so sacred.
This history of this solicitously
guarded treasure, as narrated by the
Singhalese priests, may be summariz-
ed as follows: When Buddha's body
had been burned, an Arafat took an
unconsumed fragment from the ashes
; of the funeral pyre.. This was the
left canine tooth, destined to become
the most celebrated of the many
wondrous relics of the found der Of
the faith. ii a :
After rather peaceful existence
of about eight centuries in the south
ern peninsula it became so famous
and created such disturbance in the
Brahmanic community that it was
surreptitiously carried to the Bud
dhist center in Ceylon concealed in
! the tresses of the Princess Kalinga.
Naturally, such priceless possession
proved the cause of international
strife. Once, at least, it was carried
back to the mainland of India, but
was recovered by Prakrama Bahu
ILL.,, to become once more the source
of untold blessings.

some one, rather than to do kline
deed or speak kind word. Isn't il
wonderful how much more readily we
think of sending on the unkind anc
hurtful things than we do the help
full and kind things that are said. Oul
thinking is in the wrong channel ano
needs to be changed and to get into
that channel which will cause us tc
speak kindly and gently or hold oul
tongues.
I have often wondered what was
really the true meaning and extent
and application of that passage OF
scripture which says that we shall be
held to a strict account for all the
idle words that we speak. I think it
occurs in st. Matthew somewhere
"But I say unto you, That every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day of
Judgment" And then the holy writer
goes on to say something like this,
"For by thy words thou shalt be justl-
fed. and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned" I somehow have not
just exactly understood the meaning
of these sentences, and I would be
mighty glad if some Of the good min
isters of the town would write me an
explanation, and tell me what in
their judgment the inspired writer
meant by ''idle words
And then it has often seemed to me
that there was another great frailty
of the human animal. There are so
many times when we could say the
kind word, which we do not and
which we feel and think, and it would
be so helpful and encouraging to the
struggling and those who need to be
helped, and when the help would cost
us so little Of energy and nothing
else. But we are all a long ways from
the perfect animal, and it will be a
long time before we reach that stage,
That will be an awful day for some
of US in the judgment when we have
to give account for every idle word
Had you ever thought about it? YOU
better begin to think, and think twice
before you speak.

ENTIRE CIRCUS is LEASED TO
MAKE GOLDUTN PICTURE.
"Polly of the Circus" 2arroduces
Every Detail of Big Snow.

Even with the most eiaoorately
equipped studies the director of the
modern-day motion picture spectacle
is frequently forced to take extreme
measures to make a production, so
varied are the requirements of the
screen scenario.
Striking evidence of this occurred
in the making of "Polly of the Cir
cus," Goldwyn Pictures first great
production, of which Mae Marsh is
the star.
For the proper production of Mar
garet Mayo's play of circus life it
was, of course, necessary to have
circus. All the action of the story
took place in or about the big top of
a circus, with clowns, animals and
other elements of "the big show''
dominating the plot.
But there was no circus in the
Goldwyn studios in New Jersey. The
question, then, was how to get one.
And this is how the necessary circus
was acquired:
Charles T. Horan, who directed
this huge picturesque spectacle, was
passing through a little town in New
Jersey when he saw small circus
coming into the town. 1t was circus
travelling by wagon through the
small towns Of New Jersey; just such
circus as the play required. There
was very shortly a conference be-
tween representatives of Goldwyn
and the owners of the circus, and an
agreement was reached whereby
Goldwyn leased the circus for long
enough period to complete the pro-
duction of "Polly of the Circus" /"
Sufficient remuneration was given
the circus owner to appease him for
the loss of his dates, and his show
went bodily into the employ of Gold
wyn.
It was with this equipment that
Director Horan was able to put on a
realistic parade through the streets,
in which bands played and animals
roared, and with which he was later
able to stage the morning arrival and
nighttime departure of circus in a
small town. Finally regular per-
formance was given, with Mae Marsh
and the other members of the cast
playing the roles called for in the
scenario.
Mr.. Horan was, therefore, in pos
session of well rehearsed circus out.
fit. He did not have to train men
even to drive stakes or raise centre
pole. He had everything to make a
realistic circus setting, including even
the shell game men. The little circus
lacked but one element. 1t had no
elephants. ,.,
So the famous herd OF, Powers
trained elephants were rented from
the New York Hippodrome. These
elephants play baseball, tag and per-
form dozens of stunts in the picture,
and there are many other performing
animals, including the rollet-skating
bear, the clowns stubborn donkey
that refuses to do anything, and the
man-like chimpanzee that smokes Gig
aretts and rides bareback like the
daring human riders.

THE IDLER.

@ THE IDLER. o
O. o o o o @ o o o o o o o o o o
The editor has handed me the fol-
lowing sentence, which he says is
taken from Maj. J. F. j. Caldwells
tribute to Hon. James Simons, which
was printed in the State some time
ago, and asks me what I think Of it..
Speaking of the many virtues OF Mr..
Simons Maj. Caldwell, among others,
said: "He had the rare and very
lovable infirmity of thinking better
of his fellowmen than they deserved" :"
Well, so far as l am concerned, l
think mighty well of anything that
Mai. Caldwell writes. There is no
more finished scholar in these parts
than Maj. Caldwell, and he always
filings good English, and it always
has good meat in it. He is not only
a good lawyer, but she is also a man
of high literary attaininents.
But I reckon what struck the at
tention of the editor in this partlc-
ular sentence is, that he should say
it was an ''infirmity" to think better
Of your fellowman than he deserved.
There is one thing that is true, it
certainly is a rare virtue. And it's
1ovable. But is it an "infirmity?"
Webster says infirmity is the same
as imbecility, weakness, and so on.
Whatver it does mean it certainly is
a virtue, and a good one, and one
that is rare, to think better Of your
fellowman than he deserves. And l
am unable to figure it out as weak
ness in any man. The trouble with
most of us is that we do not think
as well of our fellowman as he de-
serves, and human nature is such
that we seem to prefer to think evil
of our fellows, and not give them
credit for what they really are worth.
I have often wondered why it was
that most people should take so much
pleasure in saying unkind things
about their fellowman, and some
times when it would be so much cas-
ier and so much more truthful to
say pleasant things, or not to say any
thing at all. But what don't under
stand is that Maj. Caldwell should
call it an ''infirmity'' to think better
of your fellowman than he deserved.
Maybe he will be kind enough to tell
me how he counts it an "infirmity." !"
This reminds me of a little poem l
read somewhere the other day, and
I have had it on my table for some
while, thinking that would pass 1t
on to others, in the hope that the
beautiful sentiment which it con-
tains would be helpful and do some
good to some one. It reads like this:
Blest be the tongue that speaks no Ill,
Whose words are always true,
That keeps the law of kindness still
Whatever others do.
Blest be the hands that toll to aid
The great worlds ceaseless need
The hands that never are afraid
To do kindly deed.
Now isn't that beautiful, and isn't
the sentiment fine? Speak no i'll,
think no i'll, always ready to do a
kindly deed. Never afraid to do
it. That keeps the law of
kindness. Always speaks the truth.
That doesn't know how to simulate.
Such a hand and such a tongue is
entitled to be twice blest. And yet l
suspect that the reader could, with
very little effort or thought, place
his hand on dozen men and women,
too. in this town who would take
more pleasure in passing on some
thing that was unkind, and maybe
not true, that they had heard about

ed:

II could quote a half-dozen pas
sages from Scripture that express al
most that idea. 1 should say that the

Henry Ford are distinctly Christian,

"do YOU believe that Mr.. Ford has
quoted. patriotism is the last resort

the witness. II have often seen 1t So"
Concerning the doctrine OF nom

he did not believe in such theory
hut that many Christians did.

Tribune counsel.

not asked you to tell"
"You have not asked me for the
whole truth. have to follow my con-
! science. l am a simple man."
81 am afraid" continued the Bishop,
"that if this is anarchy agree with it
mostly"
Ford counsel then called William
A. Dunning, professor Of history and
political philosophy in Columbia Uni
versity, to testify concerning Mr..
Ford's theories and utterances.
when Henry Ford" said counsel,
"said that we should stop talking a.
bout one factory, one state and one
country and begin to talk about the
world, was he preaching the doctrine
of anarchy?"
mo that is the general thought Of
cosmopolitanism - human inclusive
ness; it has permeated all speculation
on political philosophy ever since
there was such philosophy"
"Is there anything peculiarly anar.
! chistic about it?''
mo-"
"Is it in any way essential to anar-
| chism?"
mo"
"Mr. Ford also said that he believed
humanity could make mistakes but
could do nothing worse; he said ha
believed everything tended toward
the good, and that even the terrible
world war would result in blessing to
the world. Is there anything anarchistio
about those ideas?"
"They were commonplace before an
anarchist was ever heard of. The
ioea that man is naturally good is
the basis of Plato's morals. It has
permeated moral philosophy ever
since."
Prof Dunning was then asked to
run through the articles and inter.
views sponsored by Henry Ford and
indicate the portions which would
convince critical examiner that Mr.
Ford was not an anarchist.
The witness promptly pointed ont
numerous references to the govern.
ment and to the use of the ballot
which showed, he said, that Mr.. Ford
believed in the orderly processes of
government and therefore could not
be an anarchist. In no writing or
interview, he said, could he find
single indication that Mr.. Ford was
an anarchist, either In the common
or philosophical conception OF that
term.
