Do the Dead Communicate With the
Liyingl

Tim Braxton's widow says they do.
Now everybody in and around Che
raw remembers Tim Braxton. Tim
was familiar figure on our streets
for years. He was Cheraw's general
utility man. He did the greater part
of the transferring of baggage to and
from the depot, hauled the greater
part of the freight coming into the
town, delivered goods from the stores,
to the residences and was one of Che
raw's most reliable and industrious
colored citizens from youth up. And
he went through life handicapped
having lost one of his legs when quite
small boy. Thelast few years OF
his life he served Uncle Sam as
transfer mail carrier in Cheraw.
Tim died about four years ago. He
left a widow and several children, but
he left them nice, comfortable home.
His widow reports that one night
last week she awoke from restless
sleep" and lay half asleep and half
awake she had a peculiar feeling
steal over her and she felt that some
one was in the room. She says she
remembered tryil.s to call out, and
then all at once she heard a voice
calling to her. She lay still and lis
tened and the voice went on to tell
her not to be afraid that it was Tim
talking. The voice then went on to
tell her to go out in the stable and
dig in a certain spot and she would
find some money he (Tim) had buried
! there. The voice then ceased talking.
Early the following morning she told
her family of the occurrence and Sc
curing a shovel they went out to the
stable and began digging. Very soon
something hard was struck and dig
ging carefully glass fruit jar was
brought up and when opened silver
money to the amount of $50 was
counted out.

Thumb Prints f6r BrIdes

The newest slogan Of English social
life is to fight bigamy with BertillOn

on an unprecedented wave Of bigamy.

three wives are still being daily
charged In the courts. Australians

earth and brides In England were sald

of the jokes of the music halls.
1t has been suggested that couples

Corn Products Widely Used.

The products Of corn go around the
world to a degree beyond all guess
ing. Two products widely diffused
are glucose corn sirup and grape
sugar. In 1919 corn sirup was dis
tributed to nearly seventy-fve differ
ent countries, In weight amounting to
900, $780, ,761 pounds and Of the value
Of S13,169,O51. To more than twenty
countries corn sugar was sent to the
amount of 35,236,94s pounds and Of
the value Of S1,970.s93. Corn sirup is
a distinctlvely American product. Its
greatest purchaser was the United
Kingdom, and France was next. The
same distinction Is true In the foreign
purchases Of corn sugar. Glucose was
discovered about 1900.

NO CHANGE IN GRAIN GRADES
North Dakota Plan Will Stand Durinn
Investigation.

MISUNDERSTANDING refusing to
make any changes in the federal
grades for spring wheat. except the
elimination of the word bright from
the standards, Secretary Wallace an
nounces that he will make Il thorough
investigation of them during the COM
ing wheat marketing season.
Insufficient time in which to make
an investigation before the spring
wheat season starts, and the desirable.
ity of changing grades only after a
most thorough investigation were
among the reasons given by the secre.
tary in his refusal to take action at
this time.
Modification in the federal grades
had been requested by delegations
from North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Minnesota.

THE ROMANCE OF WoREs
THINKERS DAM"

ID ELYING solely upon the
N phonetic sound Of this ex-
preston, it appears to be dis
tinctly profane and a number of
writer's have fallen into the er-
ror Of spelling dam" as. If it
were the word derived from the
same source as condemn"
To say that person or a
thing is mot worth a tinker's
dam" Is, however, not related
in any manner to profanity. but
gets Its meaning from the fact
that a tinker's dam was a wall
Of dough or soft clay raised
around a spot which a plumber,
in repairing, desired to food
with solder. The material of
which this dam was made could
be used only once and was then
thrown away as utterly worth
less. Meanwhile, it had served
the purpose of stopping or dam
ming up the molten metal. The
colloquial simile is. therefore,
derived from this short period
of usefulness and not from any
widespread use of the word
damn" on the part Of tinkers or
plumbers. tCopyright.l

the woman add something to the d.
rect income. Part time work is the
solution.
The second reason is that the regu-
lar job does not pay enough. This is
often the case with teachers and H.
brarians and other professional work
ers whose salaries are small, while
the calls upon them are great. They
do not want to give up the special pro-
fessional labor in which they are regu-
larly engaged, yet they must have
more money.
Summer jobs are various, from ac-
cepting positions as governess to chill
dren, or waiting at summer hotels, to
filling in at offices where vacations are
cutting down the regular force. A
stenographic summer job can often be
secured in an Office for two weeks or
month, and then another one, and so
on until the vacation season closes.
Some women are successful in taking
parties of young girls or older women
on tourist excursions, charging a good
price for services of this sort.
Lecturing is another good part-time
job. The lectures are planned for
women's clubs and political associa-
tions. To succeed here you must be a
good speaker, and have from four to
six lively papers to read on any given
subject, or on two or three allied SUBJ
jects. 1t is best to specialize.
Teaching craft work is an excellent
part-time occupation, and SO are the
various housekeeping jobs that are
opening for the trained woman who
wishes to give only half day to such
work. Two women know divide be-
tween them the work Of an office, as
well as the salary. One goes for the
morning. the other for the afternoon,
and this has worked we'll.
The woman looking for part-time
work is more likely to get it today
than in any period before. 1t ia q
solution for both employer and EN-
ployees that is certain to become
more and more popular.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By +. A. WALKER


than health and that death is GER
tain to triumph over life.
We can only establish the rule Of
evil by suppressing the rule of good.
Darkness Is in itself nothing; it Is
only the absence Of light.
Silence is only the absence Of
sound.
Death is only local ceasing of the
phenomena of life.
The way to get rid of darkness is
to let in the light.
The way to get rid of evil is to let
in and encourage good.
Perhaps We should not blame the
poor savage in Ecuador for failing to
believe in God and having liberal
supply of devils. He has not yet been
able to think out the truth.
But, we who are wiser and, we hope.
better for that wisdom, should see to
1t that as little as possible OF devil
worship" creeps into our existences

DEVIL WORSHIP

A N AMERICAN explorer has just
~ returned to civilization after r
visit to the interior of Ecuador and
the homeland of the Jibaro Indians.
This tribe of head-hunting savages
have lived in the same territory since
long before Columbus discovered the
Americas and have kept wholly free
from the influence of civilization.
The most striking evidence Of their
failure to advance in the centuries
(which have passed over them is the
report of the explorer that the JibarOs
do not believe in God. but that they
do worship devils.
1t is practically the universal his
tory Of the developments of all peo-
pies from the savage state to that of
civilization, that the belief in devils
precedes that of belief in God.
Before they conceive or defy q
ruler in the realm of good they estab,
lish a kingdom of evil and nominate
u being supreme in the management of
one or all forms of danger and misfor-
tune.
Herbert Spencer in his analysis of
human worship bases religion ON the
Unknown, declaring that the savage
first worships those powers which he
does not understand.
1t is the savage's inability, because
OF his savagery, to trace. cause from
effect that leads him to assign to totally
unrelated things the cause for what
he observes.
And since it is those things which
harm or threaten him with harm which
most concern him he establishes first
his devil causes rather than his God
causes.
He hears in the thunder the voice
of devil living in the sky who pun
ishes with the swift lightning and with
fire.
He sees devil in the wild beast
that kills his cattle. There is demon
power that helps his enemies of an
other tribe.
The white mans gun is an inven-
tion Of some evil spirit and the drought
which spoils his crop or the deluge
which overtlows his lands are evil
NSuSSS W AiAA VI lAe OCIlSlIl0S OL
some powerful and unfriendly spirit
which he must in some way appease.
+
In some Of the earliest written his
tory of this country, the narrative left
by Captain John Smith of Virginia,
there is much space devoted to the
devil worship of the Indians of that
territory and the sacrifice of children
to quiet the wrath of the evil ones.
All through tradition and history
from Set, the demon of death and evil
in the mythology of early Egypt down
to the Hopi Indian dances which take
place yearly in Arizona, there has
been continuous story of devil wor-
ship and rites and rituals intended to
appease his wrath and gain his friend
ship.
Each Of us, highly civilized as we
think we are, gives tremendous pow
er to evil.
Despite the fact that we read in the
Bible, and generally think we believe
It, that the God of our civilized ideas
is olnnipotent-all powerful-we i'm.
nediately deny that tact by giving
evil, which cannot be an attribute of
God, equal or greater power.
Practically everybody. unless we ex-
cept Christian Science believers. think
that sickness is much more powerful

Navy MEASURE
HAS HARD FIGHT
Appropriation Of 500 Million Is
Fought by Disarmament
Advocates.
DECISION IS DELAYED
Vote on Question Not Expected Until
Late This Week-La Toilette
and Pomerene Lead in
Attack.

Washington.-The $5OOO0O.00O naval
appropriation bill was unable to make
headway against the opposition of adj
vocates of the Borah proposal for dis
armament conference and reductions
in appropriations.
Lengthy addresses by Senators Pom
creme, Democrat. Ohio, and La Fol
lette, Republican,. Wisconsin, pre-
vented any amendments from being
reached, and when adjournment was
taken the latter had not completed his
argument. 1t was expected, however,
that disposition of armaments would
probably be undertaken the middle of
the week.
Big Ships Now Obsolete.
Both Senators Pomerene and La
Toilette declared that great expendi-
lures now were Unnecessary, and in
view of the condition of the treasury
and the country, ineXpedient. Senator
POmerene supported the Borah amend
ment and also advocated one of his
own to clothe the president with au-
thority to suspend capital ship con-
structiOn for six months.
Senator La Toilette declared that
the navy building program was a
'waste of the peoples money!" The
capital ships would become obsolete
in five years, he said. adding that with
development of aircraft, submarines
and sea coast defense. the United
States would be impregnable from at
tack by any power or combination of
powers.
Would Block Disarmament.
Senator Pomerene said that reiec-
tion of the Borah amendment would
practically close the door of hope of
the world for disarmament"
The demands for disarmament final
ly cpused Senator Poindexter, Repub-
lican, in charge of the bill. to state
that no information had been submit
ted to show any extravaganza in the
proposed naval purchases.
Senator Pomerene replied that when
"otficers with gold. lace whispered
'Yap,' members Of the naval commit
tee had hysteria and voted for large
appropriations.
Backed by Financjers.
Senator BOrah interiected that milf
tary expenditures were holding up
projects like soldier relief, western
reclamation, and other developments.
In his criticism of the bill, Senator
La Toilette said that "great financial
powers desire powerful navy to pro-
tect their interests. He introduced an
amendment providing that none of the
American war craft should be used to
"coerce or compel collection" Of any
private claim, grant or concession.
Munitions and arlnor plate inter-
ests, Senator La Toilette declared.
