lew days aad is making his home here.
Mr. Green was from North Carolina.
but has been living here some time.

Nj. $ j. Player drove over to La

ports the tobacco as being shorz in
acreage and very small and backward.
Nh. Player has the most forward crop
OF tobacco in this section.
We are glad to note that the bond
issue for better roads was carried.
Some one may be surprised 1T the
vote from Shiloh. but we beg to aG-
wise that the opposing vote carfle al
most entirely from Woods Mil, Nor.
VOC! and Taylor's section. fhe f"'ks
Of that section seem to have little
hone o. getting any benefit from the
issue ana we want to cali the atten-
don g: tic Commissioners. to the fact
i!;., the section Of Sumter county
i,yo.n Shiloh to the Florence county
liHe is peopied by some OF the best
,isizens Of the county. who have as
.ice and prosperous farms as zhere
arc anvvhere and these folks feel
that they h;rVe been neglected very
much in respect to roads heretofore.
and t:,ve often spoke Of anneAlllS to
iIiorcncc county. Sometime the de
sire WAS almost TO fever heat. and the
prospects seem TO be unless the roads
TO be built are put On with an eye
20 tn.ir convenience. or if the road as
:a:li ctr for this section lessened in
mileage and diverted elsewhere that
they will take up the question with
annexation with Florence in earnest.
But we believe the Commissioners
VIII see the importance Of building a
GOOD road through that section to the
Florence county line, not only because
tho DO not want TO neglect the peo-
D1c OF This section Of the county. but
because they want to distribute the
good roads Oh an equitable basis Tor
III the people Of the county and for
the further fact that the road built
through this section would mean more
10 the City Of Sumter from q business
standpoint: not only gaining trade

ought to- have. bat reaching into
Florence around Olanta and more SO

HARD TO. GET CONDOR EGGS
Only Seven Are Known to Be In Ex'
istenee, and the Bird Itself
10 Near Extinction.

The Academy Of Science in Phila-
delphia, some years ago, lost an egg.
Presumably it was stolen. It wac the
egg Of a California condor, and worth
a lot Of money.
Only. seven eggs of that bird are
known to exist in collections. It fire.
quents the most inaccessible peaks Id
southern California, and matches its
young at dizzy heights in caves in tho
faces of cliffs. Thus the task Of pro-
curing an egg Is one involving utmost
danger.
The species, a gigantic vulture, has
been almost exterminated. Cattlemen
and sheepmen poison carcasses to de-
,etroy wolves and bears; the condors
cat the bait and die.
That ap ostrich egg may be danger
Gus, If Overripe, was discovered a
while ago by Doctor Bauer Of the
Smithsonian institution. While he
was boring a hole in one, it exploded,
the flying fragments cutting him bad
ly..
The eggs Of some orioles are, marked
with grotesque figures, often resem-
bling Chinese characters. Experts in
oriental languages have on occasions
been asked to read them, but no sat-
isfactory translation has been OBJ

Feowh ON TOO MUCH Love
Family Authorities in Japan piseour
age Anything Like Surplus Of
ConjuQal Affection.

The general rule of life is that the
woman stays when her husband loves
her. but there is one little country In
the world where the women not in
frequently are sent home by their In.
laws because their husbands love them
too much.
That country is Japan. we are told
by Amos s. and Susanne Hershey in
their book on modern Japan. This
paragraph, one Of many interesting
ones on the Island kingdom, describes
the particular condition which some
times sends the little Jap wife. back
to her own people: a
"In considering the japanese family
one must bear in mind the complete
absence of romantic love in marriage
and the absence of romantic gallantry
in the feudal code Of the Samurai. II
love develops during welded life 1t
must not appear in. open demonstra-
tion, and whenever the demands of
duty are pressing affection must be
renounced for the higher duty. Indeed,
it has not been an uncommon occur
renee for q wife to be sent home be-
cause her husband was too fond OF
her. as too much affection for a wife
was considered a sign of weakness
and decentralization in the husband,
which might lead to neglect of other
family obligations OF loyalty and chiv-
airy there was plenty in Bushido or
the Way of the Warrior-but it was
always between lord and vassal, mas
ter and servant, and never included
women, at least not during the last
ten centuries"
