{ COLLEGE BOY HEAL SALESMAN
Bright Ide, That Enabled Him to
Dispose OF the Last Egg Cups
in Stock.

Two college boys were peddling odds
and ends Of china in an unfrequented
farming district. They stopped their
ancient chugging truck before a typ
ically unpretentious establishment. a
round, solemn woman with her arms
rolled up IN her gingham apron ap-
preached the automobile, only mildly
interested. The lad with the keen
blue eyes and the quirking mouth
asked in brusque tone, "Is there any
thing you would like in coffee cups
soup bowls or milk pitchers?"
"No." responded the woman disin-
terestedly, then frightened slightly as
she added, "but I'd kinda like to look
at some egg cups"
''Yes, madam said the boy as he
deftly slid tile cover off box contain
ing 6Ye dusty but dainty receptacles.
You're lucky to get these, too; there
are only five left"
The woman shook her head dubi-
ously. "Can't use 'em. Five aren't
enough. There's eight in our family.
And she started back to the house.
'WaIt minute" called the boy
trantIcally as he saw the possibility of
sale disappearing without struggle.
"Perhaps all Of your family don't eat
eggs"
The woman reflected a minute and
then came back. The merest sugges-
tion of eagerness was registered on
her placid. .collntenance. That's right
she said. "FYve is all do need. I'll
take 'em."-Chicago Journal.

"The high cost Of servants" he went
on, ".nakes the revival of the trencher

friends, clean your trenchers like good
trenchmen; sop the gravy up with

As Night After Day.

Tho scene was q bedroom In sub
urb, and wearied parent was prom
enading the floor at a weird hour Of
the early morn. with his irst-born in
his ar,ns. Many vain endeavors to
soothc the infants cries had been
made, but the little one was laboring
under the impression that things
needed waking up and that he was the
person to do it.
"It seems to me you knew what you
were about" groaned Pickelbury to his
wife, "when you insisted on the child
being called 'Hugh.'"
"What has his name to do with his
fretfulness?" asked the unsuspicious
wife.
Everything replied the wretched
man. "You would call him Hugh you
know, and where there Is hue there's
always cry."-London Tit-Bits.

In Seasons of Drought Farmer Has
Supply OF Feed for Stock Stored
In Years Of Plenty.

In seasons Of drought, when the
pastures are ''burnt up" and the
crops partially or totally ruined, the
farmer having live stock must dispose
of large part Of his herd-usually
at sacrifice, or buy high-priced feed.
Here the farmer with the silo is ahead
of the man who has none. He can
keep his stock in good shape by CIV
ing them the silage he has stored from

'whic " asked to consider the
subject of education it may be well
to contemplate the facts brought out
in this editorial comment from The
Greenville Piedmont:
Some time ago the South Carolina
Mental Hygiene Survey made study
of $40 inmates of the State peniten-
tiary. It found that
One hundred and three, or 1872
per cent had never gone to school and
were illiterate.
Thirty-fve or 11.5 per cent never
got further than the second grade;
the public school.
Twenty-eight, or 8 per cent, never
|got further than then second grade;
Twenty-nine or 9.4 per cent never
|got further than the third grade;
twenty-five or 81 per cent never
|got further than the fourth grade.
| Mentioning this data in her report,
Miss Viii Lou Gray, State Supervisor
Of Adult Schools says:
= -ssrhese figures should convince one
that the State pays dear m crime,
sorrow, disgrace for its illiteracy.
Individual illiteracy may not be a
menace, but collective illiteracy may
jeopardize the welfare of a state and
democracy itself"
The figures do rot mean that every
illiterate person is or may become a
criminal but they do indicate that
most criminals are illiterate or near
illiterate.
Looks as if abolishing illiteracy
and near illiteracy would. help a lot
toward abclishing crime and crimi-
nails, doesn't it?
This is one Of many ways in which
more and better education will pay
the State of South Carolina mighty
well.
So frequently we look upon those
who have committed crime and con-
tinue to commit crimes, to think that
they have been without the surround
ings and the opportunities that
might have altered their points Of
view. 1t is true that men who have
education and been brought up under
the best influences go to the bad, but
in the great body of crimina ais they
are really the exceptions. Neglected
youth, untutored and untaught, de-
velops a soil in which crime springs
up.-Spartanburg Herald.

{ Sentencing Of FAIRIES concludes
one. of the most notable cases of re-

grew out Of a children's quarrel in
the little cotton mill village Of Glow

and those Of FAIRIES quarreled. There
were several quarrels and finally the
adult members Of the families be-
came involved although never reach
ing the point Of violence. Finally on
September 9th little John FAIRIES, son
of William, told his father that a.
member Of the Taylor family had
struck him with a stone. This, ac-s
cording to Faries' own story on the
witness stand, so provoked the elder

and the defendant and his wife had
testified.
| One defense witness and one wit
ness in rebuttal were heard today.
Attorneys argued approximately four
I|hours and at 1.3S o'clock this after
noon the case was given to the jury
At 3:16 o'clock the jury announced
that it had reached a verdict and
three minutes later the verdict was
ANNOUNCED.
FAIRIES at no time during the trial
showed any trace Of emotion. He
received the verdict condemning him
to death in the electric chair stole

time.
Motion for New Trial Over-ruled.
i Immediately after the verdict was
Iread, former Governor Cole L..
Blease, and Thomas Mellow, counsel
for FAIRIES, gave notice that they
. would file motion for a new trial.
This motion was made an hour later
and over-ruled by Judge Peurifoy.
j Immediately after overruling the
motion the judge called FAIRIES before
the bench and pronounced the sem
tence. Standing erect and holding
his black slouch hat in his hand, Fa-
ries for eleven minutes stood before
the Judge while sentence was pro-
nounced. Asked whether he had any
! thing to say as to why sentence
should not be passed, FAIRIES replied
that he had nothing to add to what
his attorneys had said. Judge Peuri-
foy then began his talk. After re-
! viewing the case and the verdict, the
Judge in conclusion said to FAIRIES:
"I recommend to you the Christ

spall loss in power cuts down the
amount Of work done.
In the case Of the power-drivel ma
chine, any disorder. calls for greater
power to operate 1t. The horses or
the machine furnishing the power
work harder and approximately the
same results are accomplished. Hence
1T is much easier to overlook slight
indisposition on the, part of a power
consuming machine than on the part
of the power producer.
If any part through which power is
transmitted is loose, it may cause a
reduction Of power. The tractor op-
efator should examine his machine
thoroughly every week or ten days to
prevent such loss. A bolt in the crank
case is loose, OIL is lost. The ADJUST
ment Of valve stem loosens, the
-Is----art-ae-n time and. the
cylinder does not give full power.
The clutch is not adjusted to take
hold evenly. Snppage here causes
loss Of power. Similar leaks may de-
velop In the fuel system and the igni-
aon system. Any Of these cause heavy
drains on the power. Usually they
can be quickly repaired If attended to
early. Left too long, they may re-
suit in breakdown involving larger
