take a long and adventurous journey
to unknown lands to gather such in
formation as may facilitate travelling,

Mr.. McManus my deep sense of ad-
miration for his work.
1t is the deliberate judgment of at

that had Jiggs and Maggie. the prin-
cipal characters in George McManus's
famous Bringing Up Father,"/ en-

the World war was precipitated in
Europe in 1914, there might have
been no war, since they would have

1t is Senator Davis Elkins of West
Virginia who holds this view He has
written Jiggs to say SO, insisting that
the character who sets the whole
world laughing at it's breakfast table
makes the world safe for democracy.
His letter to Jiggs wishing him bon

Il know of none better fitted than
yourself and Mrs. Jiggs and Mr.. Dinty
Moore to be missionaries of merri-

harbingers of humor to the laugh

stricken old world of ours.
'It is to be profoundly regretted
that your journey was not undertaken

he was told. according to, reports, that
another warrant would be served
against him if the evening exhibition
was carried out as the program had
announced. The manager held his
evening show and another warrant
was brought.
Three employees were arrested,
charged with violation of the state
labor laws. The fact that there was
no admission charge to- the show did
not enter into the case, it was said.
The original plan of the theater owner
is said to have been a desire to open
his house for the showing of educa-
tional and religious pictures on
Sunday.
Churches of Eldorado, thru their
ministers. have Joined in disapproval
of this plan. At the last meeting of
the city commission, representatives
of five churches. Presbyterian, Chris
tian. Evangelical, Methodist and Bap-
list. asked that the city commission
pass an ordinance prohibiting the Sun
day showing of any photoplay.
The commission took the matter I'M

good tensil strength could not be made
with low grade cotton. When the war
was over the bars We're let down and
the demand for manufactured fabrics
was very light. Raw cotton went
down in price way below the cost of
production, but cotton mill labor was
slow to accept lower wage scale. AS
a consequence, the spinners were
obliged to resort to every expediency
in the purchase of raw cotton and
they went very extensively into the
purchase of low grade cotton, because
it could be purchased cheaper, with
the result: deterioration Of the man
ufactured product.
Comparatively few of the cotton
mills stuck to the use Of high grade
cotton, and the goods manufactured
by these mills are having and will
continue to have, a greater and great
er demand on the part of the public,
as the inferiority of the product OF
the average mill becomes more and
more known.
Low grade cotton is cotton that
has matured in the boil and been pick
ed after the early frosts, and obtains
a great deal of dried leaf, dust from
the fields and other extraneous mat
ter, which cannot be eliminated by the
process Of ginning. 1t is J wever, more
mature and stronger tnan early pick
ings of high grade cotton, and it has
been realized for many years that If
it could be cleaned AMI prepared for
spinning by some process that did not
have a detrimental effect, that its
value for spinning purposes would be
as great, or greater, than even the high
grades themselves"

northern people being harder workers
I paid close attention to it. It's simply
not so. Fact is, those Indiana farmers
do not work as hard as ours. Where
our farmers walk all day behind the
plow handles the Indiana farmers ride
all day and mostly with an umbrella
over him."
Then the conversation drifted on to
how the Indiana farmers got along so
well, and the gentleman who had IN
troduced the subject and still had the
floor, said:
They cannot raise a thing that we
can't raise. The average production Of
wheat for the state of Indiana is only
IS bushels to the acre. Their corn is
not as good as ours. They don't pre-
tend to raise either wheat or corn as
a money crop. They sow wheat main
ly for home consumption and sell the
surplus. Of course they have good
facilities for that as all of them have
elevators handy. But their main re-
lance is in cattle, hogs, etc. They
raise practically all of their food sup
plies and they feed their grain to their
stock. Then they have no regular time
to market their stuff; but just turn it
into money as the need arises or when
a good opportunity offers. There are
times when they can hardly sell any
thing but looking after everything as
they do most of them continue to grow
steadily wealthier. They have the stuff
around them, and one way and another
they manage to get enough money TO
keep them going They have not a
thing on us down here except that they
are probably more thrifty and better

FILM PLANNERS BUSY
People are Warned to Watch Out for
Slick Ones.

Slick Ones.
The "flim- Hammers" are abroad.
Their prey are the innocent, the art
less, the unlettered, relates the Green
vile, Piedmont. Their territory COW
ers states and includes Greenville.
In the city this week the activities
of trio of persons-one woman and
two men-was brought to the notice Of
the police. A stern warning from Chief
of Police Smith and a vigorous up
braiding from Mayor Harvley brought
results. The trio left Greenville, but
in their wake will come more film
Hammers" and with them when they
depart they will take the hard earned
money of many poor negro.
Most any Saturday one can see
these people at work Innocent dark
les are usually the victims. Watch
them work sometime. Usually they
carry pads and pencils. You WIN see
one Of these persons approach and
corner an old darky farmer. Glibly he
makes his "speel' and as he talks he
is industriously writing something on
the pad. The old darky says little
he cannot argue with a white man.
First thing he knows he has slipped
his hand in his pocket. The sum may
be a dollar-it may be less-whatever
it Is, it Is hard-earned and more need
ed to buy bread and meat for him and
his family than to pay for something
that can hardly be of any use to him.
The money that might have bought
several pairs of stockings for Liza or
Santa Claus for Alonzo and Kate is
pocketed by the white stranger and
the old darky scribbles his name on a
receipt" He has subscribed to some
thing, he doesn't exactly know what it
is. The next few hours he will prob
ably spend in remorseful retrospec-
ton over the money the stranger
talked him out Of"
The lady member of the trio that
visited Greenville this week was OBJ
served by a number of citizens, sew
eral of whom put the police wise"
Her method was described today to a
reporter for The Piedmont by one who
saw her in action" She would ap-
proach a negro man, handing to him
crude sort of metal pencil and tell 7s
him she was giving 1t to him." Then
she would take out her pad, begin
writing and inform her victim she
was throwing in the pencil with a
subscription to a magazine. Just give
me 40 cents for years subscription
and you get the pencil free" she would
say. The negro would hardly know
how to refuse.
One old negro was sent by several
white people, watching the woman to
find out her game" The old dafky
reported that he handed the woman a
dollar as that was the smallest change
he had and that she informed him she
would make his subscription" for
two years and walked off with the dol
lar.
The woman and her two men COM
panions obtained permits to canvas
the city" from Mayor Harvley, who
judged that their business was legiti-
mate and proper. When the nature of
their activities was brought to his
attention he delivered to them heat
ed and stern rebuke. Chief of Police
Smith warned them to "clear out of
the CITY," Cases were not docketed
against them, Chief smith said, be-
cause of the difficulty that would have
been encountered in getting testimony
against them.
