Which Are You?

1t is an old adage that dis
tance lends enchantment," and
again, there's greener fields
beyond. We see so much evil
dence of unrest and dissatisfac-
tion and hear so much grumbling
and condemning of surroundings
that we believe those adages to
be true in the minds of many.
But enchantment is not reality
and greener fields may or may
not exist and neither of these
fancies of imagination leads to a
definite certainty. Too much un-
rest and desire to seek relief
from the burdens of environ
ment do not always provide a
cure nor fit one for better living
nor for a more useful sojourn in
his community. To fret and
worry over conditions not desir-
ed; to demand or expect more
from others than you are willing
to give them; to criticise matter
you are unwilling to help change
only give the dye a deeper color
ing. The good is not always in
a distant land nor the green
fields beyond our reach. There
is neither pleasure nor profit in
the Knockers knocks. He who
will not defend his home, who is
not in accord with making con-
ditions better who can see no
good in his surroundings. is in
deed the one to seek the distant
land both for his own and his

U. S. Employee Arrested in Let

Washington.
HELD IN CAPITAL THREATS
Government Clerk Served Two EnIIst-
ments In the Army-With Root
on His Mission to
Siberia.

Washington, Feb. 27.-GeOrge e.
Long, forty, a War department clerk,
confessed that he was the author of
Of prominent Washington society ma
irons. Tie letters threatened violence
unless various sums of money were
Forthcoming.
Long confessed, according to the
police, that he wrote the letters be-
cause he thought the women had
too much money and that they ought
TO give it to the poor"
The social leaders indicated they
would not press charges against him.
Long served two enlistments in
the army before becoming a clerk at
the War department. He accom-
panied the Root mission to Russia
In 1917, and was held In high regard
by officials with whom he worked.
Letters Similar.
Among the prominent society pat
rOns who received the threats were
Mrs. Henry White, wife of the for
mer ambassador to Germany; Mrs.
Stephen B. Elkins, mother of United
States Senator Davis Elkins; Mrs.
Thomas f. Walsh, Mrs. Christian
HaQge and Mrs. Scott Townsend.
The letters there were threats to
"blow up" the homes Of the recipi-
ents while social affairs were in
progress; in others there were threats
that acid would be thrown.
In each case explicit instructions
were given as to wheKe the money
was to be deposited.
Trap Is EVaded.
The letter written to Mrs. Town
send, received only a few days ago,
instructed her to place $4,000 in an
empty tobacco can and drop 1t from
her automobile at a designated spot
on TunlOw road, In a secluded spot
near the outskirts Of the capital. The
writer threatened to destroy her home
and TO kill her If she failed to COM
ply or communicated with the authori-
ties.
Police, headed by Mrs. Nina Van
Winkle, chief Of the women's bureau
OF the police department, went to
the spot Wednesday. Mrs. Van
Winkle drove by in an automobile
and dropped a can out Of the car
at the spot designated, while other
officers secluded themselves In ad-
jacent woods. No one appeared to
get the box and a search Of the
surrounding territory for suspects
was fruitless.

the happy-go-lucky, always con-
tented and satisfied whether his
garners are full or empty, who
is unconcerned beyond his i'm

does not help the march of prog

can see good in his own country,
who is not content with merely
existing. who is not a believer in
total depravity nor welded to
the doctrine of perfection of
things earthly is the man who
blazes the path for better and

conserves every penny that
comes to him and hides it away
from humanity and trade, who
can neither be reached by the
pangs of hunger nor the cry of
distress, who guards his gains
as hen her brood. is of far
more worth to the community in
which he lives than the man who
blocks, and discourages every

he would work much harder. He

cotton and tobacco, therefore they
will plant large acreage and "mop

absolutely no sound reasoning to this
theory because no association or

wide spread tendency on the part of
a great many farmers to increase
their cotton and tobacco crops this
year. From the best information that

history this is very wrong thing to
do. BY increasing we have everything
to lose and nothing to gain. By de-

SELMA HIGH QUINTET
DOWNED BY GOLDEN BLUE

Showing more dash and team play
the Golden Blue whirl wind five OF
the Wilson High School ran away
with the much touted five from
Selma, winning by the score Of So
to yesterday at the Watson Ware
house court. The Golden Blue gave
evidence of remarkable improve
ment in offensive basketball, and
their defense was a veritable stone
wall.
Floyd Davis and his whirlwind five
surprised even their most ardent fol-
lowers, and made the fast playing
Selma quint appear slow. The score
does not do the game justice, as Sell
ma was in the battle all the time;
and the Golden Blue kept at work in
high speed all through the contest.
Wilson played good passing game,
and at no time did they show any
thing but team play.
The sensational guarding of Waldo
and Hinnant was one of the features
of the evenings fracas: this along
with the basket shooting of Captain
Davis, and the passing and team play
of Tomlinson, and Sharp were the
features of Wilson's play. The work
