Commander Read. who piloted the NC-4, seized him and bore him on their shoulders up and down the plat form and then to an automobile to a pa- rade
 One of the first to reach the NC-4 was Harry G. Hawker, who had attempted to shout his congratulations as Lieut. Commander Read was being jostled about on the shoulders and heads of a score Of men. The daring British aviator, who had wired his congratulations to the crew of the NC-4 at Plymouth, had arrived a. the station half an hour before the train came in, as it was 20 minutes late. The huge crowd was at the station to see the successful fliers. cheered him and Mrs. Hawker as they drove up in their car. When they were inside the station three cheers were suggested and led by an American officer and given him by the American fighting men. They then gave three cheers for Mrs. Hawker.

IT IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT

ATLANTA MAN TAKES FERRO.
LAX AND NOW ENJOYS BEST !
OF HEALTH IN EVERY

"When it comes to building a man
up from weak, rundown condition
and putting new energy and vitality

anything l have ever seen or heard
Of" said A. F. Lippett, who lives at

eyes sir, Ferrolax is all right
continued Mr.. Lippett, "and it is the

from indigestion and stomach trou-
bles and nearly everything l ate
would cause me to suffer afterwards
| would often be so bloated up with
gas after meals, could hardly get a

would rise up into my chest and cause
my heart to palpitate something aw-
full. | felt tired and worn out all the
time. never felt like getting up in
the mornings, and rarely ever felt
like eating any breakfast.
finally decided to give Ferrolax
trial, and sir, it is simply wonderful
the way that medicine overcame my
troubles. Why, l never felt better. in
every way in all my life. have a
fine appetite and eat three big, hear
ty meals every day, and never have

The Recent Cofbred Fair

Mr.. Editor:-
My knowledge of your willingness
and urgent desire to give publicity
to the laudable accomplishments and
generous deeds of the good people of
this county irrespective of race or
color, is the only apology offer for
requesting space in your valuable pa
per for the publication of few notes
on the success of the Color Fair re-
Gently held in this county.
That the fair was great success
from the viewpoint Of attendance and
exhibits, as weel as from financial
standpoint is conceded by all who wit
messed the same.
Many things contributed to the sue
cess of this fair, but perhaps none
more than the encouragement, advice
and donations for premiums given by
our white friends. 1t is not my GUS
tom to engage in fulsome praise,
still l believe in rendering unto "Cea-
ser the things that are Ceaser's and
unto God the things that are Gods.
Hence | wish in this way to give ex-
preston to my appreciation and graf
itude for the kindness of all the good
white people who assisted US. With
out making invidious distinction, l
desire to mention the following gen.
tlemen who gave me their trustworthy
advice thereby causing the manage
ment to be successful in nearly every
particular, Mr.. George A. McElveen,
Mr.. S. j. Deery, Mr.. w. B. Logan, DR..
L. Roy Gates and Mr.. W. H. Welch.
Too much cannot be said in COM
mendation of the farmers who stood
by the fair. Their exhibits were fine,
many of them pronounced by expert
enced judges, as excelling the exhibits
of similar products at the Color State
Fair.
These fairs will do much to increase
the general prosperity of the county
by encouraging our people to produce
better crops, and to raise more and
better chickens, hogs, cattle, etc. They
give an opportunity for our people to
be mutually helped in many ways,
and thereby create a better feeling
between the races in the State.
A few more fairs like the one of
which l am writing will demonstrate
to the negro that his best friend is his
white neighbor, and to the Southern
er, that the best farm labor obtaina-
BILE for the South is the negro who
some times quits his job for funeral,
excursion or big meeting, but never
for fewer hours or higher wages.
They also impress the lesson of mu-
tual race helpfulness without race as
sociation of the Objectionable kind.
Yours for peace and harmony and
bigger and better fairs in the future,
Merry Christmas and prosperous
New Year.
Joseph A. Mason.

Nothing could be more subtly flatterins
than the suggestion that we too can learn
to read character at sight, to possess our
selves of the magic key that will unlock
the secret chambers of other peoples
minds and reveal all they would gladly
hide from us. Nothing could be more al
Turing than the opportunity to acquire this
precious gift merely for the price of a
single book or a short course Of easy les
sons by mail Nor could there be more
complete demonstration of the remarkable
Brightness of the late P. T. Barnum.
1t would indeed simplify matters
greatly if there we're only some way of
determining at sight just where each and
every human being belongs, his particular
niche in the great scheme of things. To
be able to grasp total stranger by the
hand, look searchingly into his eyes and
without hesitation declare in a firm tone
that he ought never to have gone to work
in the boiler shop because it is clearly ap-
parent that Nature intended him for an

partment is magnificent, but it isn't psy
chology. There are shorter and ugter
names for it.
1t isn't even science, and psychology is
real science. Calling process "psychol-
ogy" doesn't make it such, but just as
it took generation to disabuse the popu-
lar mind of the notion that rheumatism
could be cured by electric insoles, it will
probably take as long or longer for the
idea that psychology has something to dc
with magic to be completely dispelled. AZ
things stand to-day we have on the one
hand the credulous masses ready to believe
in anything labelled psychology" if it is
sufficiently fantastic to crafty the desire
for mystifcation, end the ultra-sophisti-
Gated few who recognize no distinction be-
tween the self advertising pseudo scien-
fists and the hard working, rather prosaic
and generally unknown men and women
whose patient research has brought the
real science of psychology to the point
where it is entitled to recognition as enc
of the exact sciences.
