ONE WAY OUT

An explorer reports that whole AT
frican tribes are bent on race suicide.
One tribal chief has forbidden mar
riage; in others women refuse to be-
come mothers.
The determination to die came
with introduction of civilization s
vices, the explorer says.
The child-mind of the African
takes the easiest way out of hard
struggle; the developed mind being
able to see further, is willing to un-
dergo suffering to attain a happie:

retary of State Hughes, says:
There are certain things which a

The watermelon crop Of Sumter
county promises to be the largest and
most profitable produced in years.
Acreage is larger than for some time
possibly a record-the prospect of
a heavy yield is reported excellent,
and the prices promise to continue
satisfactory, although this is a de
cided uncertainty.
Sumter's first melons were ship

grown by negro farmers in the sec
ton about Gatewood's Crossing,
working under the direction of E. E.
Stallworth, coorcd county farm
demonstration, were loaded and ship
ped out via the Seaboard. The Sea-
board is expecting to handle II more
cars shortly for white farmers f1om
New Point station, short distance
west of Americus. The probable
date when these melons will be NOV

This program involves the supreme
effort which is to be made to start

Congress is to confine itself to

These are the enactment of a new

FEAR

Fear and worry are two Of the
greatest curses of the human race. If
they could be eliminated most, if not
all, of the difficulties under which
their victims labor, whether real or
imainary, would disappear. The in
crease in the sum total of happiness
that would follow is beyond conlpu-
tation.
DR.. Barton in a recent article in
this paper says that at is not hard
work that kills men," He adds that
he does not remember ever having
known a man who worked himself to
death, but has known many who wor-
ried themselves to death.
The president of a great Eastern
university says that in 40 years but
one Of the tens of thousands of stu
dents has died from overwork.
If there ever was a time that the
world needed hard work and clear
thinking, it is now.
Neither is possible on the part Of
the individual who is the slave of
fear and worry.

STATESMAN KNEW, ALL RIGHT

A Chicago lawyer, . man Of great

during a trip to the Southwest, the

given q dinner at the expense Of the
state. .
The feast was an abundant ono, and
all the great men from miles around
were invited to It, to honor the great
lawyer. He had the governor on one

tenant governor on the other side.
As the party sat down the menu cards
had already been laid beside their
plates. These cards were very fine.
They cost $25 each, and they bore ut
their heads the state coat Of arms,
upon which was engraved q motto in
Latin.
As the lawyer sat down he took up
this card and, looking at the motto,
said to the man at his left, every

DATES FROM PRIMITIVE MAN
That the Giving Of Knives BREAKS
Friendship" -ls a Superstition OF
#.. Ancient Days. G4E&

The popular superstition that 1t
"breaks friendship" to give or accept
a knife without something Of value
preferably money-passing in return,
Is a survival from the primitive man,
DECLARES London Answers.
The savage, having progressed from
a club to q knife OF spear as a weapon,
soon learned the danger of relin-
gushing it merely for friendships
sake. His friend, having disarmed
him, was apt to be his friend no
longer.
So, for giving up his knife, wen to
his friend, he demanded a recompense.
And he saw that when a, friend pre-
sented him with a weapon, that friend
presently came to regard him-be-
aus Of regret for the act or because
Of envy at the added superiority the
gift bestowed-with suspicion, grow
ing into emnity.
Whereas If he gave q consideration
for the knife 1t was a matter Of fair
trade and friendship was likely to en-
dure.
All this became so deeply ingrained
in the mind Of the primitive mar that
the idea survives today as a popular
superstition.
Popular superstitions belong to folk
lore, and where they have not a re-
ligious derivation are mostly survivals
from ancient civilizations or are in
herited from our savage ancestors.

APRON WORN As ORNAMENT
Women Of Czecho-SIovakia Don Gar
ment With a View Of Attracting
" Masculine Eyes.

In the villages and country portions
Of Czecho-Slovakia the women do not
wear aprons as a badge of work. On
the contrary the Czecho- Slovakia maid
does not put her apron on when she
enters the house-she dOns it only
when she is going out to capture the
eye of some swain who long has paid
her court. And these aprons usually
are heirlooms. Green Ia the favorite
color. Next in popularity come gold
or yellow, silver, pink, blue, cerise and
flaming o 8 Usually the embroider-
les which display these colors are upon
dark foundations. Some, however, are
white. In both types gay ribbons some
times play a part. And often the white
mutton sleeves Of the waists are gay
" embroidered to complete the radiant
effect the wearer's apron lends as she
strolls down the street Or along the
country lane.
! Their skirts are usually black and
always short. Their stockings are for
protection in their walks as well as for
display. Some have small, bright de-
signs knitted into the dull black. The
waist-length jackets they wear are
usually quite plain, save for the hand
made lace around the bust and on the
sleeves. The head shawls sound the
varying color note. But 1t Is In the
aprons that the love Of color is 10
clearly shown.
