When Your Eyes Wander.

Look at the person with whom you
are talking The best conversational1st
cannot do himself justice with one
whose eyes wander. Do not stare at
the one who is speaking, do not ex-
anime him critically, as if you had
just noticed something decidedly out
of the way in his personal appearance,
but be sure that when his eyes turn
in your direction, they shall meet
yours. You are guilty of something
closely related to discourtesy when
your eyes wander.-qirls' Companion,

WITTY WITch's SONGS.

Il want to tell you" said Daddy,
"about the songs that Witty Witch
sang at Peter Gnome's party the 9TH
er day. He gave party where he
told story he had made up himself,
but he said he had merely made up
the way the words should be written.
He hadn't made up the facts or things
which happened, which Of course made
the greater part Of the story"
do tell us about Witty Witch's
SONGS" said Nancy.
EYES," said Nick, I'D like to hear
them, too"
"1'll tell them to you," said Daddy,
rfor know that Witty Witch would
like me to. She likes all children who
like her. She doesn't like to think
that children think she's an awful old
thing who would chase them with
broom, for such a thing she would
never do.
"She says she was riding ON a broom
once and someone took her photograph
and ever since then it has been so
hard for her to tell people and make
them understand that that broom was
for sweeping or for taking rides upon
as she did quite often, but it was not
for beating children as someone said
who didn't know anything about her,
really. There are no bad witches
these days.
For that reason, as you know, Wit
ty Witch hates gossip as much as any
one, If not more. For she knows the
harm it can do, what wrong stories
go about and how folks believe them
If they don't watch out and find out
the truth for themselves.
"Well, after Peter Gnome's supper
was over and they had all had q de-
licious meal old Witty Witch took out
a banjo which she had brought along
with her and she sang this song first
of all.
Oh, I am witch. Jolly old witch,
Who can ride DER the clouds or can jump
DER ditch.
. But I'm not wild thing. no. no. indeed!
So what tell you pray to take heed.
I love boys and girls and animals. too.
I love the whole world-indeed I do.
So please don't say tho old witch 10
cranky
When she rides on her broomstick horse
80 lanky.
"She sang this song several times
and then she sang many more. She
sang of the secrets which are In Goals

'She sang funny songs because as
she was so witty and had been named
Witty Witch she could always think
of funny song to sing.
"And she sang the rules of many
games so they all could play them at

Forfeits, and Hunt the Slipper, and
many other games.

they could play all these games, or at

had said some Of the members of the
Every-Day-Is-Nice Club had forgotten
some of the rules Of a few games.
Before it was time for them to 60
home and as the next to the last song,
she chose this one-an old favorite Of
hers.
Listen here, listen here,
And be of good cheer,
For you know there's such fun
Under dear Mr.. Sun,
And yet when it rains
All those who have brains
Know there's fun to be had,
Though the weather be bad.
There are games for all weather
For us to play together
There are nice things to do,
So never feel blue,
For the world is so fine,
One should never, never pine.
"And as they were getting ready to
70 home she sang:
Dear friends so good and bright.
Let me sing my goodnight
And love me, my dears,
Right through the years.

Tennis In Vogue.

The new tennis court at the high
school building is rapidly being
smoothed down, the backstops fixed,
and every recess and afternoon find
players in a waiting line for racket,
both the stringed kind and the noisy
kind. Son Bill Greene and Jimmie
McComb are trying to hold the lau-
rels of the seevnth grade and the
Bradley boys with the assistance of
Billy Long, Big Galloway and others
have tried in vain to beat Mr.. Fulp
and Mr.. Daniel. These latter two
claims themselves to be some cham
pions but Allen Haskell says just as

is going to select a partner and make
the schoolboys' hearts glad by trim

Abbeville Tackles Champions Friday
The Abbeville high school football
team goes up against the hardest
proposition yet when the mountain
GERS from Greenville come .lown to
The city for a game Friday. The
Greenville team won the upstate
championship last season and have an
equally strong team this season. FRI
day past they defeated Anderson
high by score of 81 to 0. Able
vile defeated the same team week
ago by a score of 33 to 6. These fig
ures give Greenville shade on The
odds but Abbeville has never played
ball before as they will do Friday in
an effort to vanquish the sturdy
mountain city team.
1t is probable that Billy Long will
be able to resume his place at quar-
ter Friday, land while George Smith
has proven himself no mean player
at this position yet Billy has had the
advantage of two previous seasons as
quarter for the Abbeville boys and is
less likely to excitement than a
younger player. Big Galloway is again
in playing shape, Tate is in mid-sea-
son form, the ends, Barnwell and lit
tie Galloway are faster than ever and
Greenville will have all they want be-
fore the timekeepers' whistle sounds
''taps" Friday.
The attendance at the Laurens
game Friday past was encouraging
but the expenses of the Greenville
game will be double that of the Lau-
rens game and the boys would like
very much to see an outpouring of
the whole city to the biggest game
of the season this coming Friday at,
ternoon. The game will start prompt
ly at four o'clock. Tickets can be Sc
cured in advance at McMurray's drug
store or the National Bank of Able.

root for Abbeyille to win.

MERs WARNED NOT TO PICK
STAPLE WHILE PRICE IS BE.
LOW 40 CENTS PER POUND.

Cameron, Texas, Oct. 10.-Loss
estimated at $1,000,O00 was caused
by fire here today which destroyed
1000 bales of cotton and the COM
press and warehouses of the Came
ron Compress Company.
Officers and the watchman en-
ployed at the compress expressed
the opinion that the fire was of in
cendiary origin.
The compress was protected by
insurance but farmers who had cot
ton in storage are expected to lose
heavily. The compress was owned
by A. J. Dossett, of Waco, who lost
another press by fire at Quanah less
than month ago.
The Rockdale Fire Department
came>to the assistant of the local
firemen and aided in saving $500
bales of cotton. ..
The San Antonia and Arkansas
Pass Railway lost 327 flat and 437
compressed bales and Sante Fe 81
flat bales and lat. pressed. Twenty
seven cars were destroyed.
Authorities are investigating a
story that an automobile was seen
near the press and driven away at
high speed just before the flames
broke out.

Governor Kilby Offers Reward

Atlanta, Oct. 10.-Farmers in
Nothern Alabama, where several
ginneries and mercantile establish
.ments have been warned that if they
attempt to pick their cotton while
the staple is selling for less than
forty cents pound it will be de-
stroyed in the fields. This new de-
velopment in the attempts of night
riders to keep cotton to keep cotton
off the market while it is bringing
less than what many planters term
the cost of production, has been re-
poted to Conrad w. Austin, Ala
bama law enforcement officer, by
State Fire Marshal w. J. Williams,
who is investigating fires in the
Haneville section.
Warming which continue to be re-
ceived by the gin operators and
business men ordering them to close
their establishments have been
brought officially to the attention of
the authorities and the Governors
of several States have received ap-
peals for potection.
Governor Kilby, of Alabama, has
announced that the State would pay
"a reward of $3.50, for the arrest and
conviction of any one implicated in
the destruction of property and the
Morgan County branch of the Am
erican Cotton Association at a
meeting yesterday in Albany voted
a reward of 5000 for the conviction
of any person guilty of such acts in
Morgan County.
Night Riders Active
The night riders also have been
active in Georgia and the receipt by
operators at Toccoa of warnings
that their plants would be Destroy
ed if they did not close down for
sixty days has resulted in the post
ing of armed guards about their pre-
misses with instructions to shoot to
kill if an attemtp is made to carry
out the threat. The American Cotton
Oil Company and the City Council
of Ellaville jointly have offered
reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of persons who attempted
Friday night to fire the Ellaville gin
operated by the corporation. In Jas
per County four gins have been
posted, the night riders threatening
to destroy them if they do not close
until cotton reaches forty cents.
