me that "there is not a bankrupt
dairying in Greene county today,
which is more than can be said of
the farmers who engaged exclusive
ly in cotton production"
Within the past few years, it
seems some of the dairy cattle have
been crossed with beef cattle, and
this didn't operate to improve the
dairy industry. The beef cattle bust
ness. however, is still alive in the
county, and very recently forty head
of Well-bred beef cattle were ship
ped.
The beef cattle herds of r. B. Nc
Whorter and E. T. Boswell, of ST.
loan, are among the finest in the
south.
Some few farmers experienced
with watermelons for the first time
last summer, and their experiment
proved successful. Four cars of
magnificent melons were shipped
from White P1ains-the first ship
ment of melons ever made in Greene
y Mills at Capacity
There are two cotton mills in the
county and some twenty-five or
thirty saw mills that have been OPP
Grating to capacity for some time,
and their presence has helped to
relieve the strain. The saw mills
are cutting second-growth timber.
The county made the largest corn
crop in many years, but even so,
Editor Williams thinks, it was not
as large as it should have been.
"And the corn was equitably dis
tributed over the county," he said.
"Some farmers have a surplus; 9th
ers haven't enough to carry them
through the winter. I believe All
even larger crop will be produced
next year, and I welcome this pos
sibility because am sure there will
be ample facilities for disposing of
it through milk cows"
Sweet potato curing houses have
been erected and are in operation
at Greensboro, Union Point and ST.
loan, but their capacity is limited.
Additional facilities are in prospect
in time for next years crop.
Sloan shipped a quantity Of peas
this year, as it has always done, but
the industry has never been fully
developed.

EDISON TO PRESENT
REPORT ON PLANT

ABOARD HENRY FORD'S SPE.
CLAL TRAIN, Dec. 6.-Thomas A.
Edison probably will present to Sec
rotary Of War Weeks his report on
the cost of completing the Wilson
dam at Muscle Shoals. Edison and
Henry Ford, who desires to buy the
nitrate plant at the shoals, looked
over the project Saturday.
''Nr. Edison is the only engineer
and chemist who is at the same time
a great cement authority" said Mr..
Ford, "and for this reason I asked
him to make this investigation. He
can give the government all the data
it requires"
The proposition is that the gov
eminent shall complete work on the
dam before Mr.. Ford takes over the
project.
eff Secretary Weeks should recon.
mend acceptance of our proposition"
said Mr.. Ford, land congress acts
promptly, we would be ready to start
work by January 1. In fact we are
so organized now we are ready to
start "a hours after congress acts"
Referring to the Old Hickory plant
near Nashville which Edison in.
spected yesterday, Mr.. Ford said he
was considering whether it offered
possibilities in connection with his
plans. 81 may have some of our
engineers look it over" he said.

CALOMEL C0OD
BUT TREACHEROUs
Next Dose may SaIivate,
Shock Liver or Attack
. Your Bones

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dam
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your sys-
tenn.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, Just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
than nasty calomel and without MAX
ing you sick. you just go back and
get your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
No salts necessary. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harm
less and can not salivate.

DAP list MISSION
WORK GRATIFYING

One of the most gratifying reports
recent years will be presentedsto the
Georgia Baptist convention at Sa.
vannah this week by DR.. B. D. Gray.
corresponding secretary of the Bap-
fist Home Mission board. DR.. Gray
and heads of various departments
or the board have been engaged for
several weeks in attending state con-
Vent1ons throughout the south, pre-
sentlng the home mission phase
OF Baptist activities. State conven-
tons are being held this week by
the Baptlsts in Georgia, Florida,
Arkansas and South Carolina.
DR.. Gray will report a most sat-
isfactory situation in the home mis-
sion field as regards actual results
in the way of evangelism, enlistment,
work among the foreigners, Indians
and negroes, development of noun
tain schools, church extension and
the various departmental activities.
His report will indicate that 100000
baptisn1s will be accomplished dur
ing the present UNCONVENTIONAL year,
by far the best record ever made
by southern Baptists. The campaign
for a half million tithers is progress
ing with every indication Of phe-
nomenal success, according to DIR.
Gray.
Another accomplishment Of note
to be reported by DIR. Gray is the
completion of the first unit Of the
Southern Baptist tuberculosis sana-
forum at Ell Paso, Tex, at a cost
of about $450,000. It is planned to
spend a million dollars on this plant
in the next five years. It's present
capacity is 100 patients and these
facilities will be doubled when the
sanatorium is fully completed. The
national Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton is cooperating with southern
Baptists in making this institution
a model of it's kind.
The financial aspect Of the situa-
ton as regards the southern Bap.
fist activities is encouraging, ac-
cording to DIR. Gray's report, al
though the sub-normal business con-
ditions prevailing throughout the
country have worked considerable
hardship on the UNCONVENTIONAL pro-
gram.

Do We Call an Effeninate Man 4
"Miss Nancy?n

The connection between efenli-
nancy and the commonly accepted
term Miss Nancy" dates back to the
early part of the 18th century,
to the lifetime of Mrs. Anna Old
field, celebrated actress, who was
the original Miss Nancy" SO far
as her fastidiousness was concerned.
Mrs. Oldheld was extremely vain,
both with respect to her talents and
her dress, and when her will was
read it was found that she had left
explicit directions as to the manner
in which she was to be laid out in
her coffin. She was to be dressed
in "a very fine Brussel-lace head
dress, Holland shift with tucker
and double ruffles Of the same lace,
pair of new silk gloves" and vari-
ous other bits OF fnery which the
actress had laid aside in preparation
for this occasion, a circumstance al
luded to by Pope in the following
couplet in his '"Moral Essays"
"Odiousl in woolen? 'Tweuld a
saint provoker'
Were the last words which poor
Narcissa spoke.
Mrs. Oldheld's eccentricities were
so. we'll known and so widely COM
mented upon. that it gradually be-
came the custom to refer to anyone
who was oycr-particular about their
dress or speech, as miss Nancy
the popular name for the actress
custom which has persisted to this
day.

Romance in Origin
OF Supersddons
By H. l. KING.
Turning the Shoe.


II during the night you should
hear an owl hooting, or dog howl
irg. or any other ominous sound;
should suspect that witches or
ghosts are. about or ANYTHING of that
Sort, just get up and turn your,
shoes upside down. That will
counteract the evil 'portent and drive
away all ghosts and witches.
,e3Inquiry has shown that this saiu-
,tary. practice of ,shoe-turning under
the circumstances is rather common
in the United States. From the
time men began to wear shoes--or
the same thing under another name,
sandals-the shoe acquired a rather
important part in supernatural lore
from the magic of association, as
appears from the part it plays in
ancient superstitions, myths and
sacred rites. AS a part OF mans
apparel it took on more or less Of
the mans individuality. We still
have the expression to stand in an
other mane shoes as metaphor
sior taking another mans place.
Pliny, the sgreat Roman naturalist,
used to spit into his shoes before he
put them on in order to drive out any
evil spirit which might be lurking
there, attempting to "hoodoo" him
By standing in his place. Shoes were
never brought into the sanctuary OF
Alecto, the "unresting one" of the
avenging Furies. Nobody wanted to
risk a Fury getting Into his shoes.
Now when your shoes arc lying
right side up beside the bed and the
dog howls, and the owl boots, and
evil influences are abroad in the
night, it is evident that the said
shoes offer altogether too many
facilities for the evil spirits to enter
Tthem-of standing in your shoes as
they would have in Pliny's had he
not exercised them. But turn the
shoes upside down and evil spirits
are necessarily foiled.

There is no reason why your mind

1t is not we'll to be an egotistical

your own thought is worth more to

If you know enough to copy the

That is one against you right away.

Well, then, let it be inspiration,
but don't let it be plain, unvarnished

. Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.

The talismanic stone for today. the
beryl, is said to assure its wearer
of protection against unhappiness
caused by the waning of love of hus-
band and wife. Arnoldus Saxo, who
wrote in 1120, declared that the beryl
had the power to re-awaken love and
to maintain domestic happiness in
the home of the husband or wife
who wore it. y
Today's natal stone is the aqua.
marine, whose powers are concentrat-
ed on the health and weil-being OF
those born on an anniversary of this
date. 1t promises them freedom from
small cares and worries. and the
power to maintain Z an even mind
under most trying conditions.
The color for today is dark blue,
which is symbolic of constancy and
happiness. It brings serenity to its
wearer, and the ability to think
clearly.
The jonquil is today's fower. In
some countries it is the symbol Of
the plighting Of a troth; in others,
it is said to be prophetic of the an
nouncement Of an engagement.

1ouVe a snug nome here he Wznt
on
himself dislikcd. by everybody that
knew him. ...-..... ...
There were a few, however, who
had yet to learn of Grumpy Wea-
sells bad traits. Among these was a
foolish, fat hen who lived in Farmer
Green's henhouse. And now Grumpy
Weasel was doing his best to make
a good impression on her.
1t is no wonder, perhaps, that this
lady was unaware of her callers real
nature. For Grumpy was careful, as
rule, to visit the farmyard only
after dark. And being a person OF
quiet habits Mrs. Hen was always
abed and asleep at that time.
Grumpy found it bit difficult to
chat with Mrs. Hen because old dog
Spot was sprawled on the farm
house steps; and naturally Grumpy
felt like keeping one eye on him. But
the other he turned, as well as he
could, on Mrs. Hen. who was in the
henyard looking for worms. Just
outside the wire fence Grumpy Wea-
sci crouched and told Mrs. Hen how
we'll she was looking.
His pretty speeches pleased Mrs.
Hen so much that she actually let a
fat angleworm get away from her
because she hadn't her mind on what
she was doing. She noticed mean
while that one of her neighbors was
making frantic motions, as if she had
something important to say. SO
Mrs. Hen sauntered, across the hem
yard to find out what it was.
Don't you know whom you're
talking tor the neighbor demanded
III "a load whisper. That's Grumpy
Weasel-the worst rascal in all these
parts"
Somehow that sent a pleasant flut-
ter Of excitement through Mrs. Hen.
FAT the SAME time she couldn't be-
I=lieve the news because her caller
llhad said such veryspleasant things.
Don't worryH" she told her neigh
