97-Year-O Old Veteran
Slain by Comrade, 81,
In Trivial Ouarre]

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 49,
Death may write the closing chap
ters in the fight between two aged
Confederate veterans at the state
Old Soldiers home here Friday
night, when one of them, G. w
Handy, aged ninety-seven, was IA
tally stabbed in a childish argument
over whether window should be
raised or let down.
DR.. T. G. Cracking, aged ninety
one, the man who did the stabbing,
is in a serious condition due to in
juries received in the encounter, and
attendants at the home believe that
action by the state in prosecuting
him will be forestalled by his early
death.
Meanwhile, it is momentarily ex-
pected here that murder warrant
will be issued against the former
Confederate by George Washington
Handy, Jr., seventy son
of the slain man, who arrived here
Sunday morning to make funeral ar
engagements. Comrades of Handy
served as pallbearers, and he was
buried with the Confederate service
In the Old Soldiers home cemetery
DR.. Cracking, confined to his quar-
tiers at the Soldiers home, is claim
ing that he killed Handy in self
defense, when the latter attacked
him because he would not raise the
window in his room.
The state has announced following
an investigation by the sheriff of
DAVIDSON county and Governor Aus
tin Peay that no criminal action
viii be taken until DR.. Bracking is
fully recovered.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

there is any lot of perfect peace
and happiness, any road you might
have Travelled that is not strewn
with tacks. Worry and anxiety and
sickness and sorrow and disappoint-
ment and loneliness are the portion
alike of the highest and the lowest,
and you cannot escape the human
lot. it is life.
Then take a calm and dlspassion-
ate survey of your own situation.
You will find your work tiresome
and monotonous. SO does every 9th
er person in the world find his or
hers. The thing we do for our daily
bread is bound to become a grind.
Do you think for moment that
the banker doesn't get sick and
weary of graphing with credits and
loans; that the author doesn't have
to flog himself to his desk; that the
actor doesn't weary of the lines he
has said over thousands of times
that the film star is not nauseated
with grease paint?
Every one thrills to his task at
first as you did to your new pots
and pans and bridal furniture. But
the novelty wears off, and then
comes the long, grim stretch OF
carrying on, because it is your job
to which you have set your hand
and which you mean to make a good
job just because it is yours. That is
life.
You complain that your husband
takes your good work as a matter
Of course, but he hoWls loud and
long over your mistakes. That is
| what happens to all workers. If you
were a stenographer and spelled one
word wrong; if you were sales
woman and made one error in your
calculation, your boss would pass
over the thousands of words yoU
had spelled correctly and the hun
dreds of good sales you had made
to call you down fot your blunder.
If you were a writer or an actor
you would find that the critics
would forget all the good work you
had done to call attention to the
weakness Of your new book, or be
moan the performance you gave In
a new part. AS long as we walk
straight no one notices it., but wher
we fall off the patch we attract at
tention. 1t is life.
Perhaps your husband Is fan
from being the hero Of your girlist
dreams, but he gives you a home
and that compensates for much. Il
takes the woman who has to carr
her own bread and butter many
hard years Of scrimping and saving
to reach the place where she car
set up her own house, with her owr
| furniture and household goods in it
And believe me or not, as you like
sisters, even an unsatisfactory mar
in house gives it a flavor that the
manless home lacks.
All Of which just boils down int
this: Dry your eyes on your bes
embroidered towels, o We disgruntlet
sisters, and realize that you are no
so badly off as you think you are
and that what you are called upol
to bear is just life.

least resistance, we mortally hate to
take any trouble to do things differ
ent from the old way.
1 heard a woman that had adopted
some of the modern methods of saw
ing her strength, and incidentally,
doing better work, say that it near
ly took her breath to make the
| change.
1T certainly is easier to care for
the separator, and the new churn,
but for the first two welles l would
have gone back to the old back
breaking ways if my pride had not
come to my rescue. My husband had
said that men were blamed for their
wives not having labor-saving de-
vices, when the women We're abso-
lutely tied to the old ways and would
not change"
And there is more truth in that
than many people think. 1 went to a
| home once and found the woman
and her neighbor working over a hot
fire ironing. ] knew both were able
to haVes gasoline irons and that an
agent had been selling them right
and left, so l asked why they were
bliStering when they might do that
work nthe porch, and was told
that they never expected to fool
with gasoline. | asked them if Mrs.
SO and SO had more sense than they
had, but | never got the mout of
the idea that they were not rislzing
their lives by using anything but
what their mothers did. See how
they lost by following the calf track?
Somebody had to be progressive
in the dim, shadoWy past or these
two women would be afraid of fire
and would simply press their clothes.
And that brings me to the problems
of the present hour. It's time for
all of us to think and plan for the
sumner, garden. I can't think what
the folks with no cash, nor things
to barter, can be doing now if they
have no canned vegetables. The
freeze put al lof us on the same
plane no far as our gardens are con-
cerned. and it's canned beans, to-
matoes, kraut, soup mixture and
fruit or go to the store. 1t seems to
me reflection on my last summer
energy to cal lit by no stronger
term, 10 have to go to the store for
canned fish, and the dried fruits,
but all of us if we have a garden
can put away our winters vegeta-
bles.
Get fve-foot wire; less than that
will be a constant worry, for there
are always one or two adventurous
hens that will fly. If you live on a
rentde place you can take up your
wire when you move, apd if you
have no money to pay foF the wire,
surely your credit will be good for
it, and you can sell enough early
vegetables to pay for it. And GER
tainly the difference In your health
from eating wholesome vegetables
will pay for it. Then, don't follow
the calf, and can them this time, as
you did the time that you lost all
you put up. There surely is some
body in your community that will
be pleased to show you, by helping
you can he first lot. Cleanliness has
as much to do with the keeping
qualities us anything. PLANT! CAN!

My residence of several years in

cultivation of cotton in Albemarle
county, Virginia, will be fraught

me that there are other crops which
you could grow that are more likely

H. r. B., Charlottesville, Va,
writes: We are in the Piedmont
section, mostly red clay soil Our
land will produce from rs to so
bushels of corn per acre. BY the
middle Of May our soils are u.s.
|ually warm and we rarely have
frost before October Is. Would
|you advise that our farmers give
cotton a trial?
We think here in the MIDST of the
btton belt that this plant requires
bout six months from seeding to
btisfatory maturity. A good deal,
course, depends on seasonal condi-
ions. Cotton, as you doubtless
how, is essentially a summer and
|ot weather plant. 1t gives its best
fsults on soils that are inclined to
b somewhat sandy and tend to dry
bit quickly at certain seasons of the
bar. AS a rule, we consider it de-
|rable practice to get cotton in the
ind here in north Georgia about
|pril 10 to 20. Under the new con-
|tions which the invasion of the boil
Feevil has brought about, there is
tendency to plant earlier than the
btes suggested. Your planting
fould have to be done about a
Eonth later than ours, if the state
bent contained in your letter has
ben properly interpreted.
The elevation at this point Is about
DO feet above sea level. You are

deviation may be somewhat greater.
Conditions in your section are likely

Dreams, Forget Them, Stop

age to Garry On"
T GET hundreds upon hundreds of

T GET hundreds upon hundreds Of
letters from disgruntled wives
bemoaning their fates. They tell
me that they are sick and weary
of the monOtOny of domestic drudgery;
that they have few amusements;
that their husbands are Indifferent
to them and never pay them any
compliments or show them any af-
lection; that their husbands find
fault with them for their every mis-
take, but never give them one word
of praise for all the good work they
do.
And these women have brooded
over the hardships Of their lot until
they have grown morbid and they
see the world as one great COB of
gloom, with themselves as the black
est spot in it.
Without doubt, marriage is cruel
and a bitter disappointment to nine
tenths Of those who enter into the
holy estate. Especially is it disillu-
sioning to women because they build
such impossible hopes upon it, and
go into it with such a blind faith
that they are going to find it an
earthly paradise.
1t is incredible, but it is true, that
despite her lifelong knowledge of the
daily life her mother has led and
her observation Of the domestic strife
in the households of her married
friends and neighbors, every girl
honestly believes that her own matri-
monial venture will be a perpetual
picnic, and that the man she marries
will remain the perfect lover.
OF course, it doesn't happen, and
when the woman finds out that her
own marriage brings her more kicks
than ha'pence; when she realizes that
she must share the common lot;
when she has to bend her back to
the hard and dreary labor of max
ing a family comfortable, for which
she gets neither the glad hand nor
a pay envelope, and when she has
to put up with a man who seems
to have cornered the whole visible
supply Of pure cussedness that a
husband can possess, why, it gets
upon her nerves, and she feels like
flunking it.
SO she beats upon her breast AND
cries out that this is not the mar
riage Of which she dreamed. This
sordid existence is not what she
married for.
OF course, it isn't. But 1t is life.
None of US realizes our ideals. Our
dreams never come true. And even
when we get what we want, it is so
warped and twisted that it is no
| longer the object of our desires, and
we have paid for it more than it is
worth. That is life.
To these unhappy wives I would
offer this bit of homely counsel:
Sit down, sisters, and have a real
| heart-to-heart session with your own
souls. Put out of your mind firmly
