BRAVERY OF EAGLE IMPUGNED
Those Who Know Him Say Monarch
of the Air Is Bitterly Devoid
of Real Courage.

The golden eagle, although large, is
not courageous. He never makes the
smallest attempt to defend his nest,
and his prey consists of small defense
less animals. like blue ha"es, new
born lambs and ptarmigan. In this
connect n, correspondent sends the
followi story: Climbing up hill on
my wa! g, one day, ran into the
shephel charge of the beat. He
had was bag over his Shoul-
der, herds carry on the hill
at this lin. Of the year. 1t had
large rent in it, and round about the
rent the canvas was very bloodstained.
1 casually asked the shepherd how the
bag had got into the wars, and this
was his story, which have no doubt
was perfectly accurate. On the pre-
vious day he had been out on the hills
soon after daylight. On one of the
higher tops he found dead sheep,
with live lamb; he put the lamb into
the bag and laid the bag in cairn
while he went down into the corrie
below to see after the sheep there.
When he reached the cairn on his re-
turn he found the following state OF
things; there was large rent in the
bag, from which blood was exuding
freely; the lamb, still inside the bag,
had been torn open and the liver and
heart removed. That was the work
of the eagle. AS he came sailing over
the tops his eye must have caught
the bag; probably the unfortunate
lamb gave a kick inside, and made
the bag move. This caused the eagle
to come down for near inspection.
Having satisfied himself what the bag
contained, he tore it open and pro-
ceeded to break up the lamb.

Whales Oil Tank in His Head.

In the upper portion of the head the
whale has an immense oil tank in
which the valuable "spermaceti" is
found in a liquid condition, and from
which it may be dipped out with
bucket when an incision has been
made. From a sperm whale GO feet
in length 20 barrels of spermaceti have
been taken out of the cease" and the
surrounding fat. The sperm whale is
the animal which yields ambergris, the
valuable substance used so extensively
in the manufacture of our best per-
fumes. Ambergris is only found in
"sick" whales-that is, its presence is
not normal, but is caused by a patho-
logical condition Of the intestines.

DO MOST WORK ON THURSDAY
Statistics Show That British Factory
Employees Are at Their Best
About Midweek.

What is the best workday in Amer
lea? In England it is Thursday.
That is the finding Of industrial re-
search board Investigators of that
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over a period of twenty weeks
the output was registered and
graphs" were made.
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was invariably
low. When doubled Ito equalize time)
1t is often less than Is per cent of that
on other days.
Another important conclusion was
that the skilled workman is much
more regular in his output than the
worker not so well qualified. He does
not get the "tired Saturday feeling"
so soon.
In some factories the output arises
until Friday, but among theless skilled
workmen it was found that Thurs
day was the best working day.
An important consideration which
the investigators kept in mind was
that of the atmospheric condition in
which work is done. Records of the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was SO low that employers found
1t Improbable to operate, so they
closed down. From this it would ap-
pear that on half day the worker
does not give the average of a half
day of production.-Richard Spilane
In the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

spinners Challenge Producers.

New England mills are waiting for
six-cent cotton. Spinners openly state
that they have no confidence in the
ability or willingness of Southern cot
ton growers to materially reduce their
acreage. By publicly making such an
announcement and by backing it up
with a slowing down of the mills until
cotton drops to still lower levels, they
challenge the business sense and the
veracity of every cotton farmer in the
South. They have thrown down the
gauntlet and dare the producers topick
it up.
There never was time in the history
of the industry when it was of more
Importance for the producers to make
good on their promises. The govern
ment report on acreage must show bet
ter than one-third reduction if the price
of cotton is to show any advance this
coming season or even maintain its
present level. If cotton producers fail
to reduce this year, any future acreage
reduction campaign will be met with
scorn and ridicule. If producers ever
expect to secure the respect of the
spinners and force regard for their
word, now is the time to make the eff
fort, Make sure that the next acreage
report will deal solar plexus blow to
the six-cent idea now being fathered
by manufacturers. Farm and Ranch.

Prehistoric Graveyard Unearthsd.

A prehistoric graveyard believed to
be at least 1000 years old has been
unearthed near Stargard West Prus-
sia, by German investigators under
the direction of Professor Zakrewski.
In one of the graves the cxcavators
found six black urns and one red urn
with white stripes filled with clay and
ashes. Among the remains were some
glittering substances which the inves-
tigators believe once had been adorn-
ments of prehistoric men and women.

Enforce the Law

The number of people who are
making Intoxicating liquors is multi
plying. For awhile there was little of
it being made in this country, or if
so it was not generally known. Now
the officers count it poor day for
them if they do not destroy two
or three liquor making outfits in this
country each day.
Everybody who gave the matter
any thought expected that when Ii
quor could no longer be bought le-
gally this very thing would happen.
And the law has made provision for
taking care of this situation. But it
cannot be taken care of unless the
judges of the state and federal courts
administer the the law in such way
as to give punishment to violaters of
the law according to their guilt.
And looking to this, we are in
thorough accord with the views of
Rev. D. W. Hiott, as expressed in a
letter written by him sometime ago
to the Pickens Sentinel, and later
copied by this paper. Rev. Mr.. Hiott
takes the position that chain gang
sentences will break up the liquor
making business, and that fines will
never do so, because as he correctly
states, if man is fined one or two
or even five hundred dollars for man.
ufacturing liquor, he can make the
money hack, at present prices, in a
few days, and fine is therefore no
deterrent to him.
We do not say that in all cases of
violations of the liquor laws man
should be sent to the chain gang for
the first offense. Under the law a
man who has half pint of white
lightning in his possession for no
other purpose than to drink it is
guilty of a violation of the law. 1t
would be too drastic to send such per-
son to the chain gang, especially with
out warning him by fine that he is
breaking the law. A man who habit
ually stores this liquor should be
more severely dealt with. But the
man who really deserves the chain
gang sentence is the man who is man.
ufacturing this mean liquor. There is
not one of them who should escape
by fine. They are deliberately vio-
lating the law. for profit, and are
causing other people to violate the
law. They are keeping the evil eff
fects of intemperate drinking, which
the people have sought to ban, as an
ever present evil in the community.
They deserve the limit of the law.
No fine which may be imposed on
them is a deterrent, for the reason
stated by Mr.. Hiott. Nothing but the
rock pile, or the work on the roads,
or prison sentence will stop them.
Of course, there will be degrees of
guilt and wrong doing even among
manufacturers. This should always be
considered. And every man charged
with crime is entitled to be heard in
his defense. We do not need to get
hysteria about the matter. 1t is
plain business proposition for the
courts. Those charged with crime OF
this or any other nature should be
first tried. When tried, if found
guilty, they should receive punish
ment which is swift, certain and Sc
we're enough to accomplish the result
desired. So far as Abbeville county
is concerned, law-breakers should be
warned by the courts that this is no
place for them.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.
