GROWS FINE STRAWBERRIES

Ernest Macklin, who resides in
North Milford, brought quart bask-
ct of Strawberries to the Chronicle
Office which was the finest seen here
this year. The basket contained %
berries, and they were so placed that
the container was as full as it could
possibly be. They were of the Corsi-
can variety. Mr. Macklin has been
growing this variety of berries for
several years past, and they have al
ways been exceptionally fine. This
year the late frosts killed the major
ity of his buds.

WORK AT MILFORD SHIP YARDS

The w. G. Abbott ship yards in Mil
ford are finishing two boats for par
ties in the south. While this work
closes existing contracts, the company
has in process of negotiation, two
other contracts, which will give en-
ploy to many ship builders during the
next four months. These have not
been closed at the present time-but
there is favorable conditions which
will probably bring the business to
Milford.
The Vinyard Ship Building Com
pany have completed their large con-
tracts, and at present are reconstruct
ing and arranging their yards, getting
ready for new business.

around with pistols in his hip pock-
cts and it was all ebcause they didn't
want the public road. The newspa-
pers of Florida wanting a no fence
law in Florida are many but they
are afraid to say so. Legislators r
cowed. A no fence law means that
the chrub and cow owner must keep
up these animals and this is what the
Florida cracker does not propose to
do, and as I see it, my young friend
who went to Florida will find all of
these handicaps there. My friend who
went to Beaufort will find no crack
ers; he will find a shorter haul to
big markets, he will find rich land;
he will find no malaria and he will
find more labor than obtains in any
place in the United States.

Tribute to Monroe Goodwin
Zimmerman.

Monroe Goodwin was born Febru-
airy IL, 1887 and departed this life
January II, 1922. He was a son OF
and Mrs. G.. M. Zimmerman, OF
Pleasant Lane section. He was one
of eleven children, and is survived
by both parents and all of the broth
ers and sisters.
He never cared for the things of
the outside world. His only thought
was of home and loved ones. He was
ever dutiful to his aged parents, his
father being eighty-one and his
mother, seventy-four. With his hands
clasped tightly in the hands of his
Saviour, he entered that house not
made with hands.

"Citizen" Speaks Out on In
portant Matter.

Mr.. Editor:
I am no writer, but l will ask you
Just to give me a small space in your
paper to express myself in regard tc
our latest enterprise, our Freight
Line by Truck.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in justice to oul
rail road, which gives employment to
about Is men, all of whom l suppose
have families. These men all get good
salaries which they get monthly and
most, if not all, is spent in Edgefeld
by them or their families.
The railroad is one of the heaviest
tax payers in the county, besides they
pay a city tax to do business.
This truck line pays nothing. l
never heard of one of the men get
ting a meal here. Besides running
these heavy trucks are sure to in
jure our public roads, and if the
railroad is run at a loss we will soon
be like our neighbor, Saluda, one
train per day. So 1 think we had all
better think, and act before our
trains are discontinued. Suppose we
have a heavy snow or a prolonged
rainy spell, making the roads almost
impossible, who will you look to
then?
1 would like to add that | am not
connected any way with the rail-
road, but just a plain citizen of Edge
field, and am doing my mite to help
her along.

!, continuous yellow fever. Summer

to continuous yellow fever. Summer
living, in most of Florida is, inmany
respects, a dangerous proposition and
carried on with great discomftures
to the body. Winter life in Florida
is n thing and summer life is to
tally a different thing, and it isn't
every man who is able to get away in
the summer time. In fact, a man at
Jacksonville told me a few years ago
that the banes of Florida were ma
larial mosquitoes and flies and that
they had them for about nine months
in the year and these two insects are
known as probably mans greatest
enemies.
The Labor Situation.
One will never find poor whites
and negroes in close proximity. They
do not mix. In fact, they both hate
each other and for this reason there
are few neg: .es and these constitute
the labor of the south to be found in
Florida. The trucking industry and
the citrus industry need more labor
than any other industry. For example
we will frequently find at one time
on a moderate sized truckers farm
at Beaufort two hundred laborers at
work. To attempt the citrus or truck
ing industry where labor is scarce
and where labor is high is a most per-
ilous undertaking and yet this labor
handicap obtains throughout the
whole of Florida.
The Florida Cracker.
In the old days Florida was filled
with what are known as the Florida
chacker or what the negroes some
times call poor white trash. They
made a poor living and life was ex-
ceedingly crude and hard. These
Florida crackers still remain in the
state. They are very numerous be-
cause the Florida legislature cannot
today pass a no fence law. Probably
Florida is the only state in the Union
where a mar is compelled to fence
in his crops. These men are vindictlve.
nho,, h1o,, nm +;ck watts and thew do

committing any kind of depreciation.
My friend recently wanted to open
up, as a taxable matter, a road near
him and several of these people came
to him and told him that if he did
not desist they would "get him." He
kept on with his road project and
they burned his outhouses and a fine
new automobile and even some of

STUDENT WHO WORKS
is ALEADER

1t is not surprising that the leaders of stu
dent activities at the University of Alabama
are young men and women who have paid and
are paying either part or all of their way
through college They entered college life
with will to make good The mere fact
that they are paying their way shows strength
of purpose and realization of what an edu-
cation means.
Neither do young men and young women
suffer loss of social standing by paying their
way through college. The president of the
student body at Tuscaloosa this year is one
Of these self-supportng students. Others
bearing high honors have shoveled coal,
waited on table, served in soda water estab-
lishments and worked for newspapers.
What is true Of the university is true also
Of Auburn, where there is the same high re-
gard for boys and girls who work their way
through college. 1t is tribute to character.

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch
There remain q few unframed districts in
the great wild west where religious teaching
is still job for the two-fsted, hard-hitting
dominies Of the old school, and the following
story, told by Robert T. MacCready of Winni-
peg, who is at the Martinique, concerns one OF
them, pioneer pastor, who would brook no
nonsense in his congregation:
''The old Scotchman, noted as a strict dis
ciplinarian, was invited to take over the
church in neighboring town in western Can
ada during the vacation of its regular rector.
HE mounted the pulpit for his first sermon,
and, mid an expectant hush, cast wary eye
over the congregation, locating possible en-
tries of trouble. His glance fell on a pillar OF
the church in one of the front pews who was
adjusting audphone, or ear trumpet, an in
strument the old dominic had never seen before
"Now or never was the time to assert him
self and his position, he decided. Leaning over
the pulpit he pointed finger at the innocent
pew holder and said in stern voice.

with all classes l can nearly always spot the
man who has never been in large hotel be-
fore by the way he hesitates when he signs

complains about most everything. Extreme
care in the handling of such persons must be
exercised.
"But the most peculiar of all guests is the
one who must be shown that the room they
are to occupy is. strictly fire and burglar
proof. OF course there are very few of these
people, but now and then Que of them will
appear. Many guests confide their troubles

THE DEADLY WOODEN CAR

From the St. Louis Dispatch.
Photographs Of the Frisco wreck at Star
land, Mo-, printed in Saturdays Post-Dispatcn,
comprised graphic lesson on the advantages
of steel cars. Travelling at speed of 40
miles an hour, that part Of the train immedi-
ately behind the locomotive crashed through
trestle spanning creek that was swollen
by rains. One car piled on top of another
and yet they not only failed to collapse, but
actually held firm and prevented the cars be-
hind following them. The only wooden car in
the train-and fortunately it was baggage
carrier--was pathetic heap of knding
There is not the slightest doubt that the
steel construction of these coaches prevented
a casualty list that might have equaled the ap-
palling proportions of the recent one at Sulphur
Springs, where dozens of helpless passengers
were caught in the flimsy wooden death traps.
Under the present unstable r'rans;., -,
tions, and the pressing shortage of rolling
stock, it seems idle to invegh against the
employment of all aveilable equipment but
the time is coming when an enraged public
opinion will demand universal use Of steel
coaches, and the r-'i~cads, with vastly d.
minished number of damage suits and mini
mized accident repairs, will be glad they
complied
