SEEING BOTH SIDES

see both sides of a question.
Often times we are so obsessed with
our own self-interest that we cannot
see the others self-interest.
Seeing the other side gives a clear
er understanding of a whole question
including our side.
This does not mean that we must be-
lieve in or be on the other side in or
der to see it, but we can see the 9TH
er's viewpoint, even though it is not
ours and may not be the true one.
Seeing the other side will aid US to
get right if we are wrong, or it will
help us in convincing the other of the
right if he is wrong.
The most valuable men on both sides
Of controversy are those able to see
the others side.
In labor controversy, is the labor
leader able to see the employers side,
and the employer able to see the mems
side?
A lawyer can naturally conduct his
case better if he knows the testimony
and argument of the other side, and he
can often forecast this by seeing, as
suming the other side.
A salesman can convince the buyer
more quickly, more easily, if he can
see the buyers standpoint. He can
defend himself in competition, if his
position be defendable in truth, by
knowing the competitors viewpoint
Charles Reade in his novel, "Putt
Yourself in His Place." presents this
ioea through the medium of charac-
tel whose invariable motto in time of
argument and strife is: Put yourself
in his place. The book, which is an
Old one, is worth reading just to get
this suggestion.
Where controversy is involved it is
often much more quickly and expedi-
.t;cusly settled by outside representa-
ton.
The lawyer is valuable even in con-
troversy that does not get into the
courts; he is valuable in keeping his
clients out of court, for he can sec
the other side where his client cannot.
Those directly interested have too
much feeling for intelligent contro-
versy.
There is often so much feeling that
they cannot think on their own side,
much less see the other side. The
reason for the efficiency of representa-
ton in controversy often is that it can
see the other side.
Most men are inclined to be fair If
dealt with fairly.
If the average man sees that there
is an effort to be fair in seeing his
side he will reciprocate in his own Wis
ion and as matter of pride.
This may explain why radicals re-
tard rather than promote reform.
A radical is one who cannot see the
other side.
A retormer is one who can see both
sides.
A radical in his failure to see the
other side develops feeling, a hatred
that closes all doors to understanding.
His feeling against those of the 9TH
or side renders him exclusive unto
himself, or men like himself who feel
much and do not think much and who
exclude others from their cause by
their abuse.
Seeing the other side promotes mu-
tual sympathy and justice which are
the means by which men get together.
Seeing the other side is promoting
your own self-interest, and which is
just another way of stating the Gold
en- Rule--in terms of self-interest-

COAL FAMINE FEARED
FROM CAR SHORTAGE
Southern Senators Make Effort to
Avert Threatened Disaster. Meet
ing In Washington.

Washington, Sept. l9-Bccause OF
the strong probability of coal famine
during the coming winter and desir-
ing to prevent such situation if pos
Sible, senators from the States Of
South Carolina, Georgia North Caro-
lima and Florida. in conjunction with
the Appalachian Coal Operators Asso-
citation, have called a meeting to be
held in Washington September "a.
Car shortage is said to be the prime
reason for failure to make deliveries
which may cause the threatened coal
famine. Senator Harris of Georgia
took the matter up last week with
the railroad administration and Sena-
tor Fletcher of Florida, on behalf Of
the Pensacola interests, is protesting
against the same condition in his
state. Scnaor Dial, because OF the
large number Of cotton mills using
coal in South Carolina and the trou-
bic generally that famine this win
ter would cause has become active in
the matter and ii is probable that
senator Smith of Georgia, Senator
Shlth Of South Carolina and those
from other states affected will lend
their presence TO the meeting to be
held next week. A shortage of coal
this winter would tic up the entire
South, and para!yzc many Of her larg-

GETS LIFE SENTENCE
FOR KILLING NEIGHBOR
Orangeburg Jury Holds James p.
Browning for Death of Laurie ID.

Browning for Death Of Laurie ID.
FaiIry.
Orangcburg, Sept. 19.-The case
against James p. Browning, charged
with the murder of Laurie ID. Fairey,
near Branchville on June 8, 1919, was
concluded today, the jury rendering a
verdict Of guilty, with recommended
ton to mercy, thereby giving the de-
fendant a life sentence in the State
penitentiary. This was case that
elected much interest throughout the
county, owing to the prominence of
the parties Both were we'll known
farmers Of the Branchvillc section.
1t seems that there had been bad
feeling between Browning and Fairey
for years, they having had a law suit
between them in the criminal court
some years ago. Faircy was shot
while at work on the public highway
near Browning's home. Fairey did
not live a great distance away. Brown
ing plead self defense, claiming that
Faircy was advancing upon him with
a heavy iron part Of the road ma
chine. The prosecution took the posi-
ton that Faircy was shot while he
was under the machine making some
repairs, that he had no dangerous in
strumcnt in his hands and was de-
libcratcly shot by Browning. because
Il Shor, while before the road ma
chine struck off a few palings from
the fence Of Browning, and because Of
bad feeling Browning became cnragcd
and drove in his buggy to where
Faircy was and shot him to death by
firing a load from a shotgun

Poor cotton crop conditions indicat-
ing smaller crop yield and a consc-
qucnt enhancement in price per pound
brings UP the question, whether or
not a Sort crop is advantageous or
observation-disclosures to the South as Il
whole. We have all become accustom-
ed TO hearing that 1t is better for the
provided he can get as much money
from it's sale as if he had had better
luck in growing it. But is not this
somewhat erroneous? It depends upon
whom we class as producers. If we
count the land owner or employer of
farm labor as the cotton producer,
the claim may be well founded. On
the other hand, if we consider the la
borer on the farm who actually plants
the seed, cultivateS the plant and then
gathers the crop as the producer,
We may find that the generally ac-
cepted idea Of profit to the pro-
duccr is wrong. The land owner
who rents out his acres for stand
ing rent profits just as much from
the small or larger crop, provided
the returns from either are the
same, for he has no other charge
against the land but interest and pos
siblc depreciation. 1t matters little
with him whether the crop be large
or small. The employer of farm la
ton, may similarly be pleased with a
short crop and a big price, for his cX-
pcnsc Of gathering and ginning is ma
tcrially lcssencd. The third party in
the deal, however, comes in for an ac-
tual loss. The laborcr's profit, Of
course, is in the daily wage from his
work and a short crop reduces his
wage, even though it increases the
profit of his boss. After all, then there
is loss to one class of producer cv-
en- though the others may not be af-
fcctcd. The result is an unequal dis
tribution of the profits on the farm
and a consequent cause of disaffec-

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Of PARTNER mi PLANT
OF MODERN LAUNDRY
Mr.. E. A. Roden Purchases the Inter-
est Of Mr.. william L. Martin In
the Modern Laundry Company
Deal Closed Saturday.

A deal of considerable interest was
consumated Saturday when Mr.. Ern-
est A. Roden purchased the interest
of his partner, Mr.. William T. Martin,
in the Modern Laundry Company Of
this city.
Mr.. Martin has been in bad health
for some time and the deal has been
on for several weeks. The work as
manager of the work at the laundry
kept Mr.. Martin confined and he real
lied that his health was failing and
thought best that he get away from
the close confinement such as in the
laundry plant.
Mr.. Roden, who for many years has
been general manager of the company,
Is one of the city's most hustling
young business men and his many
friends congratulate him upon secur-
ing the entire plant and are certain
that he will meet with much success.
The Modern Laundry is one of the
best equipped and most up-to-date
laundry plants in the entire state and
is handling the Maysville business
perfectly. Under the new management
the concern will continue to give per-
feet satisfaction and will no doubt
make many other improvements for
the benefit of its many customers.

COlOred Peoples Tribute

Mr.. Cochran was probably the best
friend the colored people of Maysville
and Mason county had and in giving
expression to the grief the colored
people feel at his death, Prof w. Fl.
Humphreys, of the eolored schools. to-
day said:
"The loss by death of Mr.. Will
Cochran is greater and sadder to us,
the colored people, than to any other
persons - excepting his immediate
family and relations. And we feel
such a loss too With a depth of sym
pathy and reverence that no other
race is capable Of. Our capacity for
sympathy and appreciation for a
white friend is without bounds. Hence
we feel the death of Mr.. Cochran as
the nation does that of Mr. Roosevelt
"Mr. Cochran came from~a line of
ancestors on both sides, whose espe-
cial duty it was to see that all peo-
pies were given tnt complete dement's
of Democracy regardless of color. Mr..
Will Cochrans was no exception -
only more emphasized. Every public
effort in the last twenty-five years for
the betterment of the colored people
in school, home and church in this
city and county received first Mr.
Cochrans money and moral support
So many times have | seen Mr.. viii
Cochran give his dollars, encourage
ment and words of praise to and for
these causes. Not once was he toe
poor or selfish to lend us financial aid
too busy to give us advice--tot
much afraid to helD us retain our Coz
given rights. He never once used thu
Negro for the fishes and the loaves-
but he has made more Negro heart
happier - lives brighter and NOR
hopeful-and more Negro souls bette
prepared to meet their God than an
other white person in this city an
county.
: Thus to relieve the wretched was hi
pride,
And ever his failings leaned to vii
, tues side;
But in his duty prompt at every call
He watched and wept, he prayed an
} felt for ALL"
