Marion is awake and looking after Junior"
 ''Of all the rot. How do you know it's serious enough for a doctor? There you go again, putting into other peoples affairs. Did Ali ask you 70 telephone?''
 He didn't have time." l said fri5idly, moving toward the door. But please don't trouble yourself either to telephone or get up. Alfred and I will no doubt be able 10 manage.'
 I am afraid I shut the door with more emphasis than was necessary for the repose of the sleepers in the house. But I have seldom been 50 angry at Dicky as l was at that mo r. nent. It was. however, but one of d number of similar incidents, and I do not think Dicky is alone among men in his conventional horror of tal1in 5 the initiative in another family s emergency.
 With redoubled haste I went down. stairs to the side door opening upon the lawn adjoining the Durkec place The lock gave me some unexpected trouble and l lost a full minute before l succeeded in opening it. As I final 1V swung the door wide, I heard Dicky's voice al the telephone upstairs asking for Dr. Gibson's number and I smiled, as I sped across the lawh. at the discrepancy between Dicky's 'tbarl and bite.'
 The Durkee door was locked and 1 rang the bell. A moment later, Alfred, wild-eyed and with rumpled hair, sketchily attired in a bathrobe e-l;
 She's tainted or somethirrs," he gasped, fear and horror on his face, and, turning, raced for the stairs again.
 When I had reached, his side ! found him holding the little figure of his mother in his arms. Her face was colorless, but I saw that it was only a faint. One leg was doubled under her, and I judged that she must have fallen upon it.
 1T heard her calling to me-" he said, big drops of precipitation stand ing out upon his forehead, but when reached her she wouldn't let mo move her, said the pain was too bad. She made mo go and telephone 10 you, and after I came back she wouldn't be moved. Just a minuto ago she went off like this. She isn't dead, is she?'
 Indeed, no," I returned with q mental anathena upon my little friends stulpbornness in refusing to be put into a more comforta ble position. -'She has simply sWooned with the pain. I'll take her feet and help you carry her up to her bed before we bring her to. Then we can take care of her properly.

New York, March 20.-'Too many young couples of the present day are suffering from an overdose of domesticity.'
 This, according to Miss Lucille Pugh, attorney -at-law for more than 13 years at 135 Broadway, just a. whisper off Wall Street, is the great underlying cause for the fact that divorce is not now subject to a luxury tax, having grown to be a staple. |
 Marriage Grows Dull
 'By an overdose of domestlclty, says Miss Pugh, who is regarded as one of the snappiest members Of the bar around Wall Street, 'I mean that young couples make the mistake of not interesting themselves in things outside their little sphere of married life As a result it grows dull. And when it grows dull it causes neglect. And neglect certainly causes divorce.
 Unhappy marriage does not burst forth as the sudden realization Of mutual defect. One of the marriage partners drops the little attentions, the sweetheart kindliness, the tiny

 Has anything happened 90 m other?"
 NO, darling.' said quickly, knowing that the quickest way to allay her fears was to tell her the truth. ''But Auntie Durkee has had a bad fall and I am going over to take care of her. Will you take care of Junior if he wakes up?'
 I'll stay awake until you come back" she promised, but please leave the light on little, won't you?'
 Surely, darling" l said, and I'll be back as soon as I can.''
 AS l ran down the hall to Dickys room I looked at my wrist watch. One o'clock! What had my little neighbor been doing on the stairs at this hour? 1 knew that unless she had guests for an evening party she always went to bed at about eleven.
 I rushed into Dicky's room and put my hand upon his shoulder. He spranG up, startled.
 What the devil?" he calculated, then with quick alarm, Junior. Mother! What is it?''
 What Alfred Feared
 Mrs. Durllce has fallen down stairs,' I said. Alfred just tele- phoned. Pm on my way over. You'd better telephone pr. Gibson for fear Alfred hasn't had time. I'll tell him you're doing it. Then come on over.

The Summons
 That Came in the Night


 The insistent ringing of the tele- phone awakened me from a troubled slumber in the night following the writing of our invitations to Robert Sa,varin-a slumber haunted by dreams in which Lillian, Harry Un- de-wood and the artist figured fan ntastically.
 For a few seconds l lay in. that transition between sleeping and walk ing when ones faculties are scattered them again. Then I switched on the pathrobc and hurried to the branch telephone in the hall upstirs. It is always my lot to answer the telephone if it rings in the middle of the night My fathers room is too far from t to hear it, my mother-in-law age and frailness put her out of the ques tion, while as for Dicky,s whether waking or sleeping. he pays no atten ton to either phone or doorbell. ''Lct 'em ring. It's nothing in my young life,'' I have heard him say sleepily, regardless of the fact that any sort of emergency might be the cause of the untimely message.
 Alfred Durkee's voice came over the phone, agitated, tense

 Leads to Neglect
 Tt is not tho husband who stays out one night week or who even leaves his wife alone several nights a week who is guilty of neglect so much as the husband who is at hom g every night and yet omits the little attentions that are the spirit and evi- dence of love. So, the woman may also be n@glectful.
 One great wrong invites forgive ness, for it does not show the man n his character, but out of it. A series of slurs or neglects leads to hate"

ment. Fines of few dollars Will

at fault is not responsible in the
courts for the damage done.
The law-abiding people of the city

reckless disregard of the public
safety come to an end. 1t is I'M
possible for sheriff and few dep
uties to police the county and there
should be rural officers continuously

In the meanwhile, the driver who

the offense. For the safety of the
public, such. lawbreakers should not

5 THE LESSONS OF 1T.
Greenwood Index-Journal.

ITSGIWOOu 1liuSA-COutll11e
LET justice be done though the
Heavens fall" runs the oft quoted
maxim though one does not always
strive in practice to bring it about.
Suppose John and Kenneth Gossett
had been captured by mob the day
after the commission of the crime at
Abbeville-would John Gossett today
be alive, free man and enjoying all
the rights of a citizen?
How much chance would he have
had at the hands of crowd, bent
simply On vengeance and no concern
about justice?
The great danger Of the probable
punishment of innocent parties was
pointed out at the time of the gross
blunder made in the first arrest in
this case.
This first arrest and the outcome of
the trial following the second arrest
ought to be lesson to all men who
would join crowd to take the law
into it's own hands.
A great victory for law and order
was won in the trial last week in Alb
beville and Judge Sease's position as
to the dignity of the court was up
held by the development of events.
Aside from the lesson as to respect
for the law is the great moral lesson
which men and women, especially
fathers and mothers, should learn
from the Abbeville affair.
Young boys and girls should be
taught that there is a conventional
boundary line to conduct which must
be recognized and respected. There
is entirely too much freedom in gen
eral behavior between the sexes IN
this day and time Things 'don't
matter" which should matter I'm
less men and women wake up to the
fact the whole social system will be
iYnperilled if it is not already i'm

conventional behavior.

SPEEDING MUST BE STOPPED.

Greenville News.
The man who goes into the street
and fires pistol promiscuously into
the crowd is no more of a criminal
than the one who drives an automo-
bile at a reckless rate of speed over
the streets.
Almost every day the newspapers
carry stories of persons injured by
reckless automobile drivers in Green
vile county. And it is marvellous
that as many people as do escape the
murderous vehicles that use the
streets of Greenville and the roads
of the county for speedway.
A citizen of Greenville has offered
a reward of hundred dollars for
arrest of the person who ran over
and killed a fve-year-old negro girl
on Augusta street Saturday after
noon. Several others came to The
News office yesterday and volunteered
to add to this fund because they want
this murder avenged. From many
parts Of the city come reports that
automobiles constantly violate the
speed law, jeopardizing the lives of
children and other passers-by. Life
is not safe on or near the public
highways.
Those who thus disregard the lives
Of their fellow men should be dealt
with no less severely than those who

GROWERS OF COTTON
FAVOR CORPORATION
J. S. Wannamaker of ST. Matthews
Nominated for Reelection as Presi-
dent of American Association at
Convention in Montg tgomery.

Montgomery, Ala, April ID
Organization of a strong financial III

South, the stock to be taken largely
by the farmers, all to be coordlnated
to form an export cotton corporation
to handle direct sales Of the staple
to foreign interests, was unanimously
indorsed tonight by the American
Cotton association.
This action followed an address by
Governor Dorsey of Georgia, who
discussed the plan he had developed
for forming such an institution in
that state, and which, he declared,
was entirely feasible, and if under
taken in every cotton growing state,
would create a powerful financial
link in permitting the grower to deal
more directly with the spinner.
J. S. Wannamaker of St. Matthews,
S. c., was nominated for reelection as
president of the association in the re-
port of the committee on election
submitted this afternoon. A vote on
the recommendation will be cast Fri
day afternoon. Other officials noml-
mated for election include: B. Z.
Powell of Arkansas, vice president;
Harviet Jordan, Atlanta, secretary; b.
F.: Mcleod, Charleston, S. c., chair
man finance committee, and T. h.
Shackelford, Georgia, attorney.
In line with the adoption Of the
report of the committee on market
ing and warehousing, which recon-
mended commission to make study
of national and foreign needs in the
cotton world, President Wannamaker
tonight named: D. S. Murph, Wash
ington, D. c., specialist in ware
housing; A. F. Lever, chairman OF
the federal farm bank board; Clar-
ence Howe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer; J. F. Dugger, director, farm
exter sion, Alabama, and Harvle
Jordan, Atlanta, to that board. His
duties permitting, Gov. W. P: G..
Harding of the federal reserve board
will also be placed on the committee,
which is called on to report by June
Is.
Speakers today included Represen-
tative Hefin, Alabama; 7. J. Shakel-
ford, Athens, Ga; H. D. Wilson,
commissioner of agriculture, Louis
lana, and J. R. Alexander of Scots,
Ark.
At the morning session the report
of the committee on acreage and
price recommended that a minimum
of so cents per pound middling
grade be demanded by cotton
growers, and urged the production
of good crops in large quantities.
The report was unanimously adopted.
A recommendation that commun-
ity warehouse movements be inaug-
urated throughout the cotton states
also was indorsed, together with a
resolution indorsing the Conner
amendment to tie agricultural bill
with respect to deliveries on future
contracts.
