An old Englishman, James Scott by

occasion a gentleman stopped at an
inn much frequented by Mr.. Scott and
saw a fine fowl cooking.
THAT looks very good" said the hun
CRY guest. "You may serve that for
my dinner"
"You cannot have that, sir" replied
the landlord. THAT is being cooked

"I know Mr.. Scott very WELL" said

"Oh, no, sir" answered the landlord.

and working agreement has been
signed between the Railroad Admins
tratiOn and officials of the Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way EN-

While demands of the union were not
fully met, the eight-hour basic day was

and One-half pay after that hour was
provided. Most of the other employees
included under the agreement will re-
ceive time and a half overtime pay

| is seasonal and temporary in charac-
ter and certain employees whose posi-
tions do not require continuous man
ual labor will be paid on the basis of
time and One-half after the eighth

road workers.
Heretofore, such maintenance EN-
ployes have been paid overtime at pro-
rata rates for the ninth and tenth
hour and time and One-half after the
tenth hour. Under the agreement, la
bOrers in extra or floating gangs
whose employment is seasonal or tenn
porary in character will be paid over
| time at a pro rata rate for the ninth

| CINE watchmen at isolated points and
bumpers, will continue to be paid for
their present hours of work monthly
rate equal to their present day."

Shoots Wife While Dreaming.

Newark, n. flames SapienZa con-
crete block manufacturer of IrvingtOn,
shot and killed his wife in bed here
but the murder charge against him
may be dropped. He told the police
he had been dreaming of threatening
letters he actually had received and
had shot at two men he dreamed he
had seen creeping through the window.
The authorities are inclined to believe
his story. He said he dreamed he
reached under his pillow to get his re-
volver and that he was suddenly awak-
ened by the noise of a shot. He found
the revolver in his hand and it was
smoking.

weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and diges-

ing order old age can be deferred and
life prolonged far beyond that enjoyed
by the average person. -

Newspapers Hit Hard.

Unless there is change in the sit.
uation, newspapers will be compelled
to decrease their size and also in.
crease their rates. Newspapers had
to endure their share of hardship du.
ring the war and after the cessation
of hostilities better things were hop
ed for, but it appears now that the
worst is yet to come. The avalable
supply of news, print paper is not
equal to the demand and the price is
not only going skyward but it ap-
pears now that in few weeks or
months small newspapers will not be
able to obtain any paper at all. The
following paragraph from the New
berry Observer is apropos in this
connection:
"There is nobody so bad off as the
man in these strenuous
times; none who has to work harder
and gets so little for his work. Just
now it looks like he is coming fast
to the end of his row. He thought
paper at $3.50 a ton was awful; the
indications now are that it will go to
$3.50, and it is probable he may not
be able to get it at any price. But he
can comfort himself with huch re-
Elections as these: while there's life
there's hope; The darkest hour is
just before day."

Merchant Marine Growing.


One of the most welcome news
items that our eyes have fallen upon
in some time was the a9pouncement
yesterday that the American mer-
chant marine has expanded from
four ships before the war to fleet
at present of 9,772,000 tons. This
means our national commercial inde-
pendence. It,means that we shall not
hereafter be beggars in the matter of
transporting our exports. We now
have the vessels for carrying our
farm produce and merchandise to
whatever foreign port we desire at
any time we desire. Furthermore, we
can haul to our shores the foreign
merchandise that will come to Ameri
ca in almost limitless quantities to
pay off war debts. Thus it is seen
that America will be benefited both
"goin' and comm" by the merchant
marine.

An Earnest Appeal.

Brother Minis, please give space
in your columns this week to say a
work to our Baptist brethren of this
Association about Victory week in
our 75-Million Campaign.
Brethren, if you ever expect to
hear Gods call to save more than
474 million people, if you ever ex-
pect to cooperate with your breth-
rem in a worthy work, if you ever in
tend to honor your Master in a be-
coming way, be in your place at your
church Sunday morning, November
80. No other time will mean so much
ito the cause as this, and there is no
better way than to go and take your
offering or make your pledge.
This is no time to say, 81 pray
Thee have me excused" For you to
fail to respond to the call of God and
your brethren and the Kingdom at
this time will be a calamity to the
cause now, and calamity to you
and those you love best always.
Fer the sake of the cause of your
Lord and Master, do not have COM
mittee out hunting you up to get you
to do what you ought to do in this.
Some Of the happiest churches 1
know of are those that have done the
worthy thing, that all churches ought
to do, they have gone over the top.
There will be an all day service at
Red Hill Sunday. DR.. R. G. Lee will
speak at Eleven O'clock promptly.
Let every member be present Sunday
and whatever you do, come on time.
Yours for Victory,

Feast,

Friday night Mr.. John Ho!l:rgs-
worth proved himself to be a most
charming host He invited nearly
score of his friends, both ladies and
gentlemen, out to his ideal country
home to engage in a 'possum hunt.
Soon after nightfull the guests gath
cred and repaired to the dense woods
in the pasture, a favorite haunt of
Brer 'Possum, and soon the yelp of
the dogs indicated that hot trail
had been discovered. The result of
the hunt was the bagging of huge
'possum, which was given its freedom
and chased and caught second time.
Soon after the return to the house,
sumptuous feast was bountifully
served, the menu consisting of ham,
turkey, cranberry sauce, pickle, sal
ads, fruit cake and other good things.
All who have been guests in the Hol-
lingsworth home know how bound
less and princely was the feast. The
guests drew for the 'possum which
had been bagged in the woods and
Miss Elizabeth Rainsford became the
owner. The occasion was one that
will be long remembered by those
who were honored with invitations.
