Never to tire, never to grow old. to
be patient sympathetic, tender. to

Contentment is the only true happi-

PACKING HOUSE
EXPERT TO TELL
OF CHANCE HERE
Every Sumter Man Urg-
ed To 6 O'clock Smoker
Thursday Evening

The men of Sumter county will
have explained to them by the high
est expert to be obtained anywhere,
at the get-together smoker at the
Carnegie library Thursday evening
from to 8 o'clock, the possibilities
of packing plant for Sumter coun-
ty-what it will mean and how to go
about it to get it.
The authority will be c. L. Brooks,
of Macon, Southern manager for the
Allied Packers-the organization
which embraces all of the important
packers of the United States, and
which has recently taken over the
plant of the Macon Packing Com,
pany. Mr.. Brooks, formerly of Chi
cago, is the man who organized and
put over the important packing
plants at Moultrie and Triton, Ga.
which have since been acquired by
the big packers, whom he represents,
and at Andalusia, Ala. Mr.. Brooks
last evening assured the Chamber of
Commerce, which will sponsor the
smoker, that he would be glad to
be here to present the subject to the
men of the county.
Every Man Wanted.
At meeting of the committees of
the Chamber of Commerce in charge
of the smoker, of which ]. Ralston
Cargill is general chairman, it was
agreed that strenuous effort should
be made to bring to the meeting all
of the substantial men of the coun-
ty who are not now members of the
Chamber of Commerce. To this end
a number of men volunteered to
make it their task to extend personal
invitations to as many as they could
get in personal touch with before
the meeting. 1t was made plain that
the representative men of Plains,
Leslie, DeSoto, Cobb, Sumter City,
Huntington and Andersonville, as
well as from all the rural districts,
are not only welcome, but their pres
ents is considered of great impor-
tance at this time, which is recog-
nized as the turning point in the af-
fairs and future of Sumter county.
No Solicitation.
1t was also made plain at this
meeting that there is to be no raising
of funds, no solicitation, and no sub
scription-taking for any proposal
whatsoever. The meeting is to be
purely vehicle for affording bet
ter acquaintanceship and feeling
among the men of the community,
and at the same time offering every
man interested in the future welfare
of his home county an opportunity
to know what is going on, and what
is being proposed to promote that
welfare, Many men believe the pack
ing plant idea is the greatest that has
been suggested in the history of the
county, and that it's realization would
mean more for the farmers of this
section than any other one enter
prise. To soIidify and clarity the
thought of the community on this
subject is one of the prime purposes
of the meeting.
St~rts ~ O'clock.
The meeting will begin at 6 o'clock
and will be over by 8 o'clock at the
latest. Light lunch of sandwiches
and drinks, with smokes for those
who indulge, will be supplied with
out charge by the Chamber of Com
merce.
President John Sheffield, of the
chamber, issues a personal invitation
to every man in Sumter county to be
present at this vitally important
meeting and that he let nothing in
terfere to keep him away.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE HEREDITARY GOAT.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman

to be made for our exhibiting hered..
itary faults than any other kind OF
faults. We might accidentally STUN
BILE into sloughs Of which we had never
heard, but we can make no apology
for wallowing in the very ones that
the members of our own family.
Take the drunkard, for instance.
How often you will hear a man say
in e~xtenuation OF his own intemper-
ance that he can not help it. That
he inherited the tendency to drink from
his father. and he expects, us to pity
him because he has followed his IA
TIERS footsteps into the gutter.
"Insteads of c%ondoning his weakness
we should condemn him for 1t, be-
cause he knew the weakness he had
to guard against, and he refused tc
do it. Just because his father was a
drunkard was the reason he should
never rave touched alcohol. The dan.
ger that other men might dare with
impunity was a deadly peril to him,
and this knowledge should have guar
anteed his safety. Instead, he makes
of it his justification for being a sot.
And the same thing can be said
ever know a shrewish woman who
didn't lay her temper on her mother?
She seems to think that in saddling
her irritable disposition and bitter
tongue on her mother that she alb
solves herself from all blame for being
a virago.
"But she only adds to her offense.
If she knows that she has inherited a
quick temper and jangling nerves and
a tendency to stab with words, it is
more important that she should m
quer herself and learn self-contrpl than
1t is to any other woman in the
world.
ITS a good thing to believe in he
redity. 1t turns a searchlight on the
weak spots in us and gives us a chance
to correct them. II we know that we
have a family tendency toward any
particular form of disease, ninety nine
times out Of a hundred we can avoid
it by building up our bodies to resist
that particular form of malady, and
If we know that there is any particu-
lar sin that our family is prone TO,
it's like a s%ignboard pointing us in
the other direction. It's nothing but
acknowledgements laZiness that makes
us go stumbling along in the same
old ruts our ancestors fell into.
Don't be a victim to this it's-in-my-
blood theory. II there is iron, strength
and virtue in your blood, well and
good. II there is the deadly bacteria
Of thriftlessness. inertia and self-in-
diligence, get it out.
Determination will purify any blood
and offset any heredity."

CHILDREN's CLOTHES.

In buying a dress, ask yourself first,
Is the dress of good material? Learn
which are the good dyes. Investigate
samples Of materials simply as ma
~terials, so you may know which ones
will pull apart at the seams, which
are yarn-dyed fabrics, and so forth.
Avoid ordinary bargain counters.
Ask yourself also, is the color be-
coming? Is the dress easy to %launder?
Will it slip over an ironing board east
ly? Is there allowance for growth? A
three-inch hem has proved ample for
the life OF a garment in my expert
ence, so there is no need of extra tucks.
However, all r~eady-made garments are
Of unshrunken materials. Allow about
an inch to the yard for shrinkage, and
you will be safe.
Low-necked dresses are more or less
luxuries Of summer Dresses with
finished edges, such as scallops, EN-
broidery and fancy facings give shorter
service.-Helen Koues in the January
