A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT

The people of, Wilson were treat
ed to a wonderful exhibition of mus
cular control on the court house
yard today, when Mr. George N. Hess,
a native of Rowan county, but now
of Orange, California who was tied
from head to foot with chains slip
ped out of them as easily as one
would put on a suit of clothes.
His hands were fastened together
with chains, Chains were wrapped
around his legs. 2 heavy chain was
wrapped around his body and arms
and pulled on each side by two stall
wart men until they sunk into his
flesh. These were all locked
He explained that it was worked
by muscular control, and slipped out
of them with little trouble.

SOUSA CAN'T HEAR
HIS OWN. MUSIC

Ills OWN. MUSIC
Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-John
Philip Sousa, the famous bandmas-
ter, has not been able to hear his
own music, it was learned today
While most of his audience could
hear and enjoy every note or combi-
nation of notes he gracefully drew
from his brassthroated choir, the con-
ductor himself heard most of the
notes indefinitely and the highest
and finer notes of the wood wind in
struments and the cornet practical
ly not at all.
The bandmaster, however, has be-
come patient of physician of this
city, and, although he has received
only two treatments, declares he can
now hear much that he formerly
missed. In fact, he expects in a short
of hearing.
The doctor, describing the case,
says that his patient is but one of
thousands SO afflicted.
CAS- a person grows older,'' said
the physician, ""he contracts a So
called condition of catarrhal deaf
ness, sort Of overgrowth of adj
pose tissue lining the air passages
in the naso-pharnyx. With an or
dinafS person, this might not be such
serious matter, but with a musi-
clan it is vitai.'
So the physician has been subject
ing the bandmaster to finger sur
gerry" which he explains as breaking
up this tissue and causing the blood
to circulate, thus restoring a normal
condition in parts that affect the
hearing.

FEAST AT A SHEIK'S HOUSE.
Guests Must Show Their Appreciation
By Eating to Point of Surfeit.
Roland Garbold in Asia.

| never missed a chance in Bagdad to meet
and know the bedOun. He has much OF the
dark eonine' in temperament as well as
complexion. Yet with all his dignity and reti-
lCenCe he is very gracious to TREND or
guest How sumptuous a feast he can spread
II discovered on a memorable evening when
i was asked with four other officers to dine
at the house OF shiek.
Though we were conscious that there were
servants and women about and felt quite GER
tain that they had viewed us from the lattlced
windows we did not so much as catch
glimpse of them; our host brought in the din
Iner on huge, round copper trays and he him
self waited on us. There were no forks. In
stead Of plates there were khubz, or pieces OF
bread which we knew were made OF round
thin slabs of dough stuck to the fiat sides OF
la hot earth oven and baked until they tell OFT.
The first course was chicken apiece, follow
ed by Tigris salmon and meat cooked IN ap-
Ipetizing ways with strange favored spices and
herbs.
Sometimes the sheik selected choice bit
and thrust it into the mouth OF favored
guest. Not the servants, but the wives OF our
host, had done all the cooking, and before Of
Ifering us any dish he himself tasted it, to
make sure that it was up to his standard. He
pulled rare face over the sherbet-and sent
it back. The second part of the feast consisted
Iof the most delicious vegetables, salads and
fruits.
The sheik did not sit down with us and did
mot eat at ALL but continued for two mortal
hours to bring in dish after dish, until we
had to beg him to have mercy. The fact that
I'VE know he would consider it the height Of
good breeding if we gave loud and demon
strative signs OF repletion saved the day for
us. He was pleased to find us surfeited with
his generosity, and at last he permitted us
to eat the khubz.
What was lett of the dinner he bestowed
upon crowd of beggars who had gathered
round his door. After dinner there were cigar
cites, provided as an especial compliment to
the guests, for the Arab is devoted to the
Ileisurely Waterpipe

Perpetual Summer.

Coal dealers, furriers, manufacturers of
"heavies" and other persons engaged in the
business of keeping humanity warm in cold
weather will not be pleased, if credulous, with
the prediction of French astronomer, who
declares that the earth is rushing steadily on
toward period of perpetual summer. Pur-
veyors of cooling drinks, the ice man, fan
makers and owners of cold storage plants no
doubt would like it tremendously. AS to the
hundreds of millions of people who live in
the temperate zones-1nost OF them could be
counted as Directing to it in time, although
for a while they might enjoy the novelty. Too
much of anything never did satisfy humanity
and probably never will; and as a proof that
temperate zones have climates that conduce to
the welfare and advancement OF the human
race one has but to scan the map and see just
who lives north and south Of the equator.

Some Terrell Products.

Terrell county products would be ample for
feast fit for the gods without so much as
penny being sent beyond Our borders for
food To begin with the staples, we have the
finest of hams, bacon, etc. All sorts of breads
and cakes may be made from our home
grown wheat and corn. Vegetables galore,
including asparagus in season, sweet and
Irish potatoes in prodigal waste and rivers OF
the finest syrup in the land. The most luscious
fruits, including bananas, oranges and lemons
though these are not so well adapted to this
section as peaches and the small fruits of
which I'VE sell all we can and can all We
can't" so there is abundance for the winter
Our nut trees are prolific, and nothing is Of
higher food value than Terrell county pecans.
English walnuts are also grown here on a
limited scale. Our dairy products are being
constantly improved as the housewives con-
tinue to study the best methods The family
COW contributes in no small way to well
balanced diet, and is coming more and more
to be appreciated in helping to solve economic
problems On short notice the women of the
county could supply the local market with
the finest of home made candy superior to
the high-prced imported article. When we
are inclined to pessimism because OF the low
price of cotton it would be we'll to take time
to consider the wonderful possibilities of our
soil for diversifying. There is no cause for
pessinism or alarm in the good old county
of Terrell.

NimbIe BoOtleggers.
From the Congressional Record.

n Mr. Reed Gin the senate)- is said, in JUS
LITIGATION of the effort which is being made
to override the fourth and fifth amendments,
and to allow seizures without a search war
rant. that we can not enforce the law unless
we do destroy or disregard these old prin-
ciples of the constitution. Speeches have been
made here declaring that you cannot get out
a search warrant in time to capture vehicle
run by some bootlegger and scurrying across
the country at a high rate OF speed. 80 the
argument is made here that they must put the
officers in a position to proceed, without any
danger to themselves, because, forsooth liquor
is transported in vehicles, and that these OF
ficers cannot capture the vehicles, and they
start with the proposition that this liquor is
being imported from Canada and other coun-
tries.
Mr. President let us stop and look at that
Just minute. These gentlemen claim that the
revenue service of our country, honestly and
efficiently administered cannot stop the bring
ing of whisky into this country in dray-loads
across the Canadian line, when that service
has been so efficient as to stop people bring
ing diamonds in in their pockets or baggage;
when the revenue officer has the right to
stand up and demand from every man Wao
crosses the red line of the map between Can
ada and the United States that he shall open
his baggage and, if necessary, the officer can
and does search his person as a condition
precedent to his entrance into the United
States.
But let us assume that in some way the
liquor gets in and that some of it is actually
transported across the country illegally by
bootleggers | am not willing to sacrifice the
liberties of the American people or impair
their constitution to catch even bootlegger.
But it is even wholly unnecessary to violate
the constitution in order to catch bootlegger.
The bootlegger may be arrested for the il
legal transportation of liquor. The proof is
easily obtainable that he has liquor if he has
a great dray-load of it. The individual having
been arrested, of course, his vehicle is stopped,
and all that it is necessary to do is to go to
court make out an affidavit, the forms of
which are found in every lawyers Office who
is lawyer, and swear that John Doe-nam-
ing the man. of course, by his right name, if
it is known-has in his possession and is en-
gagged in transporting a certain truck a
large quantity of liquor; that it is illegally in
his possession and illegally being transported.
While the man arrested is giving his bond the
search warrant may be issued and the liquors
may be seized. 1t is as simple, to use an old
expression, as rolling off a log. All that needs
to be done is to have little common sense
and be willing to conform to the law.

Old Lie Still on the Job.
From the Savannah News.

Every little while the "last survivor of the
detail that captured Jefferson Davis dies
Another one died in New York the other
day. treasuring to the last "a scrap of the
woman's clothing in which Davis was attired
when he was taken" History has been de
scrbed as a 'lie agreed upon" Some OF it
certainly consists of lies that are told over
and over until everybody takes it for granted
that they are truth. 1t has been very difficult
to make the world believe that President Da-
Wis of the Confederacy was not disguised as
woman when he was captured. Several of
the men who captured him have said plainly
that he was not disguised, but there was
method in all attempts to discredit the Con
federacy, even after its death, and this bit of
SANDER about the disguise was too tempting
to be thrown away. So it survived, and still
survives. The leaders of the south were not
men who sneaked about in Women's clothing.
The very idea Of such men as Davis Lee,
Gordon doing any such thing is Numerically
opposed to everything we have read Of their
character and everything that is remembered
OF them. They lost their cause, but they did
not lose their sef-respect.

A Fur Coat.
of Terrell

A fur coat OF Russian sables was sold in
New York the other day for 100000, which
is lot of money nowadays Probably the
woman who bought it could afford it. The
coat was made of 119 skins, perfectly match
ed The collection was made in the lrkutz
region of Russia and took three years. In 1912
a similar coat was sold for $4,000. Since
Russia became a soviet republic the cost OF
furs from that country has greatly increased
The first auction of Russian furs since the
war was held at Leipsic last month, the So
Wet republic being the seller.
There is room for two opinions as to wheth-
er it is extravagant for any woman to buy
coat costing 100000. Considering the time
and the trouble required to assemble the ma
terials and make the coat the price probably
IS not excessive If the purchaser had the
money to spare she probably did not consid-
er it an extravaganza. It would be interest
ing to know, however, how much OF the
100000 the trappers who supplied the skins
in the first instance received.

A Quality to Cultivate.

Some one refers to the fine art of not
being disappointed as a quality worth cult
vating. There's no doubt about it. Nothing
is harder to endure than disappointment Life
is filled with rebuffs and discouragements. 1t
is a fine art however, not to be mastered by
disappointrnent--to learn not to be disap-
pointed by any untoward happening or cir
cumstance. To learn this is to become an I'M
conquerable optmist. 1t is to accept lite as
one meets it. with forbearance, and patience,
and a smiling countenance. All sorts of bores
are encountered in our daily contacts, but no
bore is quite so insufferable as the one who
carries himself with an atmosphere of per-
petua disappointment. Nothing quite so sours
any one as a conviction or habit of chronic
d;sappointment. Some OF the disappointments
men and women suffer merit the sincerest
sympathy. The fine art of not being disap-
pointed contributes greatly to happiness and
contentment. 1t is an art that lifts the lnJ-
yidual out OF himself and separates himself
from his sefishness If we have perfected
the fine art of not being disappointed we will
not expect Our friends to be paragons OF viz
tue, and we will not expect the pathway OF
life to be strewn with roses for our particular
benefit We will accept what comes as "aIl
in the DAYS work." and we will utilize such
as we encounter as stepping
stones to achievement. Having perfected the
fine art of not being disappointed we will
cease to regard disappointment as defeat, but
will recognize it as discipline and as a chal-
lenge to our strength. Is there not some
thing winning about the individual who turns
up smiling after every encounter, who with
ready wit and resource finds detour when
the main highway is blocked, whose spirit
cannot be crushed by reverses? He is one who
has learned the fine art OF not being disap-
pointed He it is who challenges our admira-
ton. He it was of whom Henly wrote when
he said Il thank whatever gods may be Tor
my unconquerable soul" Indeed, it is hne
art to know both when and how not to be
disappointed; it is an art that is we'll worth
while for all to cultivate

LUNCHEONS FOR S CENTS.
Chicago Schools Sell Them for That to
The Children. A Success.
From the Chicago Journal.

ooh, how the children yell when they hear
the recess belp' in Chicago's public schools.
The high cost of living is not going to bother
them if the board of education can help it. A
system of fve-cent lucheS has been installed
in 90 OF the schools and will be established
in all as quickly as possible.
Long tables are laid in the halls The lunch
consists of bowl of hot vegetable soup, one
frankfurter a spoonful OF mashed potatoes, a
sandwich of peanut butter or jelly and cup
of milk or cocoa.
At noon recess the children storm the tables
like hungry hordes from the famine districts
of the Volga. 1t is amazing how quickly the
tables are swept bare OF everything except the
dishes.
Older girls students of domestic science,
act as floor managers. They see that all are
served, collect the nickes and pass the official
criticism on table manners. After lunch a
candy counter is opened in a corner, where
the children invest in pure candies.

Who Makes the Town?
From the Cochran Journal.

We have citizens who are so modest and
retiring that they imagine their influence is
OF no value or has no weight-that it makes
mo difference to the town what they do or
don't do
They are mistaken.
We have become so accustomed to the
progressive citizen that we expect to hear
from him on any subject of importance. We
would be more or less nonplussed if he did
not come to the front.
But it is the action Of the quiet retiring
element that adds impetus and puts real life
into a movement for civic improvement. They
may not assume to be leaders, but when they
get behind and push the weight is so great
there is no such thing a permanent halt.
Little WaveletS tapping UP on the seashore
always precede the great tidal wave that
sweeps everything before it.
1t is so III community lie.
In each community there are a few who
are always promptly acting in every good
movement. They are the little waves that new
er rest, that are ever creeping up on the
beach, advancing and receding necessarily on
the move until they create the great wave of
public sentiment that moves irreSistibly on to
victory and achievement.
1t is the mass OF quiet citizens who con-
stitute the bulk OF that public sentiment. It
is the citizen who possibly thinks that his
own individual opinion has but little influence
upon community life. 1t is the one who acts
after the others have talked.
You, therefore are one OF the number who
make the town.
You are expected to aid in making it a bet
ter town.
You can do it if you will.

The Farmers Predicament.

1--WE see where one farmer threatens to
allow his cane crop of several acres go to
waste in the field, after he has worked all
the wear to produce it, rather than make 1t
I'D because he can not get a satisfactory
price for it. We can hardly realize that an
Intelligent business man could be so silly
as that, Because syrup is cheap now, while
the market is g1utted with a new crop, IS
no sign that there will not be a ready
market for it, at a good price, six or eight
months from now"-Thomasville Press.
A gentleman who has just returned from a
visit to the section of the state where sugar
cane is the principal money crop of the farm
ers, is authority for the statement that syrup
is now selling at II cents gallon and there
is little demand for it at that price. 1t is less
than the cost of production and the farmer
can hardly be blamed if he refuses to go to
still further expense Doubtless, many OF
them haven't the money needed to convert
their cane into syrup and buy the vessels in
which to put it on the market.
Farmers everywhere have fallen upon hard
lines. They can't sell any OF their products for
the cost of production. Here in Terrell coun-
ty the past week corn was sold at 40 cents a
bushels and other produce is being sold at
similar ruinous prices, when it can be sold
at all.
The News believes the farmers are doing
the best they can-as well, or better, than
most of us would do under similar conditions.
