and promotes efficiency to have the
hair short. In a grown person short
hair, as a rule, detracts from ones
beauty, individuality Of arrangement
and femininity, accentuates ones age
and defects and hardens ones express
sion and gives one an unfinished ap-
pearance.
Snarling or teasing tends to weak
en- the hair and should be carefully
and gently done and carefully brushed
out.
If hair is matted in illness wash the
hair thoroughly to remove lint and
all foreign material, saturate a small
section at time with some light oil,
kerosene will answer, and carefully
pick apart and comb straight. Hair,
during illness sould be combed and
braided daily to avoid mating to-
gether.
The theory that the hairs are tubes
filled with nutritive materials has
been proven a wrong one. Therefore
singeing the ends to prevent the es-
cape of nutritious fluids is foolish
proceeding and somewhat dangerous.
The hair contains no fluid.
The medulla extends only about
one third of the length from the
scalp and contains only air and pig
ment granules, receiving nutrition
entirely from the papilla and hair
fallicle.
The hair reflects the general health
and by the combination of bodily hy-
giene with that of the hair, it is pos
sible to ward off badness as we'll as
greyness for years.
The most fertile source of spread
ing diseases Of hair, face and scalp is
the hair dressing and barber shops.
Common sense rules of hygiene
should be observed by operators, such
as sterilizing all articles coming in
contact with persons receiving atten-
ton, before using on another. All
linens freshly laundered after once
used and the hands scrubbed we'll be-
fore attending another. Refusal to
attend any one who has only suspic-
Gus condition till assured of it's non.
contagious character will do much
towards stopping the spread of con-
tagious conditions to both operators
and patrons.

to the weak and infirm, the poor and
aged, to them a hand shake would
have been a God-send to some of
these old veterans whose lot in life
was not so good as some Of his broth
ers of the SOUTH.
Perhaps some Of these old veterans
had a grand-child or a neice at home
who to him was as beautiful as any
one who graced the honor of being
asked to be sponsor or maid. Some
of those old soldiers would have al
most been willing to sacrifice a year
or two of his declining years to have
her at this Reunion as sponsor or a
maid of honor.
The type of old veteran that has
worn his old uniform because he
loved it, who continues to wear full
beard, and unfortunately has lost an
arm or leg, does not present as good
appearance are in the majority Of the
men that carried the guns and bore
the blunt of the actual warfare and
came out of the affray some wounded
some dismayed, and have had an up.
hill climb ever since, because their
all was swept away before the ava
lanche of Union fire and shell.
These old Confederates are the
cause for these REUNIONS to held
year after year, and to my notion it
is fitting tribute from the Ladies
who participate in the glory of the
Richmond Reunion to make it point
to shake hands with as many as pos.
sible of this class, and greet them
with a smile or flower. These were
the Johnny Rebs that risked their
lives for you and yours.
The writer who seemed favored as
an escort Of several of the maids and
sponsors, asked them as a favor to
shake the hand Of these who were
poor looking, crippled and showed the
ravages of time. If you could have
seen the sparkle in the eye and the
smile that appeared on some of their
faces, know you would want to give
some of these soldiers that pleasure
at Richmond in 1922.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
the pleasure of these old veterans is
that the headquarters assembly place
was too small. We could not call the
Tabernacle a place for the veterans
to loaf around and meet his old COM
rades, the lobby of the main hotel
is inadequate in all cities to take care
Of the soldiers and their ladies, to.
gether with the towns-people that
have lent hand to make this or that
Reunion a success.
There are some old veterans that
don't mingle among others than those
they came with, because they feel
that they are in the way, or because
they do not stop at the headquarters
Woman's enterprise., 1921-12-16

hotel, they think they have not much
right standing around, much less sit
ting down, consequently they do not
meet many or have that Reunion that
back home seemed like a star in the
heavens to 60 to this Reunion and
meet and chat with his fellow COM
rades back in the Sixties, and he goes
home having possibly seen a few
whom he knew.
Had the headquarters been in an
auditorium or an arn16ry, then the
old veterans, officers and private sons
and daughters, maids and sponsors
could mingle among those who fought
for what they thought what was right,
and these old soldiers would have had
better chance of seeing their old
comrades.
We will not have many more Re-
unions, now let the last few be crown
ing events for the old soldiers, some
battle scared and broken, standing
side by side with those who returned
home without a blemish and have
waXed warm in the sunshine of op-
portunities, as they follow on into the
great beyond which to most of them
is near at hand.
In the ending of this article I will
touch upon the lack of courtesy due
the sponsors and the maids of honor.
Never IN the history of the Confed-
crate Reunion was there a more beau
tiful array Of sponsors and maids of
honor, and to think that Chattanooga
was unable to furnish escorts for
them to the social functions arranged
for both the pleasure Of the ladies
and gentlemen.
The writer had the pleasure of
meeting the majority of the sponsors
and the maids of honor, and while it
was pleasure to know them and their
chaperones we'll enough to be kept in
reserve to act as an escort for more
than one to each dance. He felt that
Chattanooga was lacking when a city
of it's size was unable to furnish
enough young men to escort the most
beautiful girls in all the Southdon
to the U. C. V. dances.
And do you know that each night
the sponsors and the maids had tt
come down and be practically auc
toned off, that is to say no escort hae
been provided, and they were obliged
to stand around the booths where tht
maids and sponsors had registered
on their arrival and let the gallan
young men of Chattanooga come VI
and take a look at them before de
Gliding to take them to the dances
Not being a dancing man, l had tn
occasion to act as a friend in waiting
and oftimes did I hear some yount
fellow say I won't take her if she i

HYGIENE OF THE SCALP.

To cut or not to cut the hair is a

John w. Harrington

John w. Harrington
Colonel Harrington was perhaps a
most typical Southern Gentleman"
of the many living near Cheraw in the
past. He was large land owner, and
lived three miles from Cheraw in
Marlboro.
He was a captain in the Sth regi-
ment, the first southern regiment to
go to Richmond at the outbreak of
the Civil War.
He was a grandson of General Hen
ry w. Harrington Of the Revolution
and his uncle, John Lide Wilson, was
governor of South Carolina just a
hundred years ago.
John Lide Wilson wrote the Duel
ing Code" which was regarded as au-
thority for procedure in dueling. In
the preface he stated that "The book
was not written to promote dueling,
but that many duels could be prevent
ed if the right course was pursued"
One of these codes is in the Charles
ton library and one in the Supreme
Court library in Columbia. Very few
copies are known to exist now.
When the river bridge was built in
1866, to replace the one burned by the
Confederates, it was toll bridge. The
Marlboro end Of it was on. Col. Har-
rington's land and the contract made
with him by the bridge company was
that any one living on his land could
cross free Of toll. This contract was
fully carried out as long as 1t remain
ed toll bridge.

Removal of War Tax Oh Express Ship
ments, Effective Jan. 1, 1922.

The public will save approximately
| Al 100000 a month as result Of the
elimination of the War Tax on eX-
press shipments, according to George
c. Taylor, President of the American
Railway Express Company. An an
nouncement to this effect was made
today by E. C. Stevens local Express
Agent here.
The Revenue Act of 1927 elimi-
mates the War Tax Of one cent on ev-
cry twenty cents and fractions there
of in transportation charges on all
express shipments. This tax during
the year 1920 amounted to SIT ,5O2 ,9lS.
The average transportation charge
for each express shipment was ap-
Droximately $1.50 and the average War
Tax of each shipment was eight cents.
The elimination of the tax, therefore,
Mr.. Taylor states, will virtually
amount to a decrease in rates Of a
little over five per cent. Mr.. Taylor
believes that this should have ten
dency to stimulate business and there
by accelerate the rapidly improving
conditions throughout the entire
country.
"The American Railway Express
Company handles approximately one
million shipments day Jr nearly
four hundred million shipments a
year." Mr.. Taylor goes on to say. "The
elimination of the Tax will relieve the
American Railway Express COMPANY
of an immense amount of labor wh!cl
has been involved in calculating, en-
tering on waybills and collection OF
tax, not to mention the expense of
checking and accounting entailed.
"The Treasury Department has re-
quested express carriers to advise al!
claimants who have claims pending,
for overcharges, or who hle such
claims after December 31st, 1921, that
claims for refund of tax should be
filed separately on Treasury Depart
ment Form No. 46, with the Comm.s-
sioner of Internal Revenue within
stone of Internal Revenue within
four years from the time tax was
paid, claim being barred by statue Of
limitations if received after SUCH time
Mr.. Stevens pointed out that as tEe
Revenue Act becomes effective Janu-
airy 1st, 1922, the tax On all ship
ments forwarded prepaid on or h"'
fore December 31st, will be collected
On shipments forwarded collect and
arriving on or after January lst, the
tax will not be assessed.

Numbers of Peach Trees Being Planted

Many Of our readers do not know
that a new industry, big enough to
count, is being started in our midst.
From parties who are in position 10
know We learn that fully 100000
peach trees are being planted in the
immediate vicinity Of Cheraw. These
trees are planted on something over
700 acres Of land. In five to six years
time this industry will be bringing
into Cheraw annually something like
s400, 900 If the trees live and are cared
for.
We understand there will be some
thing like 25O,OOO trees planted and
already planted in the county this
year and one can see at a glance how
important this new industry is.
We hope it Will continue.
