MERRY MUSTACHE MENTION

Upper lip adornments, from those
embryonic eyebrow misplacements of
the youth to the fierce and glistening
mustachios of the villain in grand op-
era, are in for frequent comment. One
of the first problems that looms up on
the young mans horizon is whether or
not he should grow mustache. Mo-
ther says that it will make him look
manly, and father, who has one, adj
vises against it. Sister says it will look
zippy and sweetheart hesitates in Civ
ing an opinion. Perhaps the fiancee is
tickled b ythe idea. Maybe she fears
she will be tickled, by the mustache.
Who can tell? One of the "Aesop's
Film Fables" proves that you can not
please everybody. Aesop, Jr., says "It's
a cute mustache that tickles its own
er." And, the owner is most affected
by his lip decoration. So, we shall
take the stand that the mustache has
a real place on the face just as we
agree that Topics of the Day. Films
has reel place on the screen. Merry
mustache mention on the screen is
jolly fun and we have shaved off a few
laughs to please our readers sense of
humor:
FOR 80 DAYS
He-Darling, there's been something
on my lips for a month.
She-So I've noticed. Why don't
you shave it off?

And a sad farewell he waved.

S2,OOO,OOO,OOO would cover the reve-
nues of the Democratic law during the
nine years cited. During the nine
years Immediately preceding 1914, five
of which were under the Dingley law
and four under the Payne-Aldrich. law,
we imported $13,000,000,00O worth OF
foreign goods, which netted the Fed
eral Treasury $2,76O,OOO,O0O. There

under Republican tariff laws yielded
38 per cent more revenue than did the
Democratic law. All figures used
here are taken from the official rec

"It would be unfair to make use OF
the prices which have prevailed from
1915 down to the present time in ar
guing against the Democratic conten-
ton that increased imports result IN
decreased living cost. The war and
the raised wage level have smothered
that issue. Compared with 1913 the
index numbers of wholesale prices tor
1914 on clothes, fuel, metals, lumber
chemicals, house furnishings, and mis-
cellaneous commodities record no ap-
preciable change, while the prices OF
farm products and foods, which were
Dlaced on the free list, show an IN
crease of 8 points each. The expose
of importers profits recently made by
the Senate Committee on t1nance
shows decisively that not only have
the importers absorbed the duties
saved to them by the Democratic Id"
in their profits, but they nave III d

"The contention that Democrauc

Many rural communities are hav-

that every automobilist is to be milk

for justices and constables, and
amusement for court (?) loafers. It's
detriment to local business men.
Harassing the automobilist drives po-
tential investment away. Every COM

DO you want people of good charact-
er' thrifty, young, able vigorous; men
and women anxious to "make good. u

workers, savers. economic factors?
Or do you think America would be
better off with drones, idlers, anar-
chlsts, Bolshevists and criminals?
If you had the right to saw what
Americans should emigrate to other
lands, would you send the prosperous
and the healthy minded, or the crimi-
nal and the loafer?
VI course you believe America
should receive only the best immi-
grants. And, of course, if you could
export emigrants, you would pick the
least desirable to go away.
Other countries feel the same wav.
they, also, want good and not Door
immigrants. They, also, would get rid
OF their ineffectives.
ana we let them get away with it.
Our selective immigration law saws
nothing of quality; let a man have
enough money, or be able to show he
won't be public burden, and he can
come IN, up to a certain number. If
England, France, Germany, Sweden,
Norway do not want any of their citi-
zens to come here, they can refuse
them passport. If such citizen can
get passport, he can come in if a
few formalites are observed. Our law
checks, numbers, not qualities!
Secretary of Labor Davis says it is
all wrong; that the law should be re-
Vised; that what we need is to stop
the undesirable at it's source, not
alone at our shores.

means you, and you, and you and

SUCCESSFUL SALES BY
TOBACCO CO-OPERATIVES

Such successful sales have been
made by the Tobacco Growers Co.
operative Association to the impor.
tant leaf dealers and manufacturers
that cash advances have been in
creased on the deliveries of tobacco
by South Carolina members and q
second cash payment will be made in
the near future provided the mem
bers increase their deliveries suffici-
emily within the next two weeks.
The system of marketing which
started smoothly at the August open
ing of the Cooperative warehouses in
South Carolina and Eastern North
Carolina is now in perfect working
order and can handle very heavy de-
liveries according to T. C. Watkins,
manager of warehouses for the Asso-
citation.
In letter mailed this week to all
South Carolina members, M. o. Will
son, Secretary of the Association
urges the growers to aid in Fastening
the second advance by delivering as
rapidly as possible. Secretary Will
sons says, "Our members have deliv-
cred to the Tobacco Growers Coop
erative Association in the South
Carolina belt ten million pounds but
as the sales department have made
these sales and can handle your to-
bacco as rapidly as you will bring it
in we desire that you make your de-
liveries as rapidly as possible. If you
will make the delivery Of your to-
bacco promptly you will have render
ed the Association and yorself SER
vice for you will enable your officers
to make second payment at an ear
lier date and we will save some ex-
pense in handling the tobacco.
On a new appraisal that has been
made by the Banker committee the
advance will be greater than it has
been on what has been delivered, but
growers that have delivered will re-
ceive the benefit Of this advance in
the second payment, so that If you
will make the deliveries as early as
you can get the tobacco in proper
condition it will mean an early dis
tribtion of the next payment"
Enthusiasm for the new marketing
plan is rapidly spreading from South
Carolina and the East TO the old belt

MAYNARD FUNERAL HELD
thousand. Journey T. Hi. Old Hon.

Wilmington, N. c., Sept. 1O.-The
funeral of Lieut.. Belvin w. May
nard, known throughout the country
as the flying parson," and who was
killed in an airplane accident at Rut-
land, Vermont, Thursday of last
week, was held at the home of DR..
and Mrs. A. A. Maynard, parents of
the deceased, in Sampson county, this
afternoon at 3o'clock.
Notwithstanding the inaccessible
ty by rail of the old Maynard home,
it being seven miles from the nearest
railroad, crowd of more than three
thousand people attended the SER
vices, all of whom were personal
friends of Maynard.
Two airplanes from Pope Field.
Camp Bragg, arrived to the north of
the Maynard home about 10 minutes
before the hour for the funeral but
the pilots were unable to locate the
home and the throng on account of
the density of a large oak grove, in
the midst of which is located the May
nard home. Consequently their sche-
duled part of dropping flowers from
the air was not carried out. After
circling about to the north for a
few minutes the airmen headed to-
ward Camp Bragg.
The service was conducted from
the porch Of Lieut.. Maynard's father
near HarrelPs Store. &.
