ever and ever?
For centuries the world has won.
dered how 1t has been possible for
the great Oriental nation to keep
up even a semblance Of order and
unity In view of the chronic state
of confusion and military uproar
that has prevailed from before the
days Of Greece and Rome.
According to some observers OF
China and the Chinese, one explain.
alton might be about as fnllows: 4.
In q so-cailed civilized country *
Ia president is kicked out or any
other political fireworks go of
work would practically cease.
But not SO in China.
Work Goes Right On.
When q dynasty is overthrown,
when an emperor . restored, when
a president runA away or is chased
away; when Peking is without a
central government, when a war
lord tries to seize the capital and
even succeeds in capturing it. there
is no cessation of work anywhere
In China, not even temporarily.
/ The tradesmen, the artisans, the
taborers go about their business
without interruption, and the only
excitement, IL any, Is among the
handful OF politicians congregated
in the teashops.
For in China, so far, politics Is
not the business Of the working
people.
Il Is this happy state Of indiffer-
ence, combined with a feudai sys.
TEN Of local government, that saves
China from general chaos. The pre-
vailing system Of local government,
which has existed through the ages
in the cities, towns and villages,
renders a central government UNI
necessary except for the handling
Of foreign affairs.
Suffer From Bandits.
In times of civil war and bandit
outbreaks the great common people
in the celestial commonwealth get
it in the neck" Of course, as
usual, but they go back to their
fields and their shops as soon as
the trouble is. over, congratIlating
themselves that 1t has not been
worse. ~
A Civilized" country under such
circumstances would start a revo.
luton and be seething with disorder
In less than no time.
In China the imam with the hoe
accepts the suffering as part of the
daily round. He probably decides
he has not done enough worship
ing at the village shrine. and to
make up for this neglect he merely
bows and prays to his gods a little
harder. That and nothing else.
The average Chinese in town and
country asks for nothing in the
way Of local Improvement in re-
turn for the taxes he pays. All he
wants is to be left alone; to have
no officials reach out and try to
inflict higher taxes.

 EIGHT WEEKS
New York Resident Loses $36,OOO.O0 In
 Sarasota

Sarasota, Fla.-A few weeks ago, Ray Weede, of Newburg, N. Y, ac- quired a piece of property in Sara sota which he soon sold at a profit of $24OOo.0O.
 MT. Weede took his $24, ,000.OO and left town well satisfied with his keen business acumen. However, taste of the pie compelled him to return few weeks later, and he twas over whelmingly surprised to find the piece of property was being held for $S6,- 900 more than he had sold it for. Mir. iWeede stated his few weeks absence ihad cost him a fortune, but hereafter he would profit by his experience.
 Rapid and phenomenal fortunes such as Mr., Weede's are in evidence every where, and the Walpole- Castor Realty icompany, of Sarasota, urges all ot their investors to hold on to whatever property they may acquire because in ltheir opinion prices will go much higher.
 If you are not among the fortunate who own Sarasota property, Walpole- Castor urges you to write them for in formation as to how lots, which should rapidly enhance in value can be acquired with only a small payment down and liberal terms on the balance.

ASSERTS SERVICE
 BRINGS SUCCESS
Speaker Classifies Employers
 For ROtarians

Declaring that only five men out of a hundred ever attained independence, Carl Nj. O'Neil, business evangelist from Memphis, cited service, the Ro- tartan ideal, as: the cause for mans success or failure, in his address to the luncheon meeting of the Rotary club Wednesday at the Tutwiler hotel.
 During his address MT. O'Neil spoke of a new and interesting classification of employers. The first, according to Mir. O'Neil, is the golden rule class, employers who have their employees lives, education and welfare at heart. In the second, what help is given by the employer is charity, while the speaker said the third is the employer who merely pays the dollar for services. The last class is the autocrat who deals in life as a commodity, he asserted.

Joe jackson, "shoeless wonder"

The game will be played on the

for that organization, and fans

Peaches Being Dumped
Into Streams Of State
Agent of Exchange Says Only
IL New York Concerns Able
to Handle Peaches

NEW YORK, July 30.-A spe-
ciaI news story printed in thee New
York Produce News, a fruit and
vegetable trade journal published
here says:
"When w. H. Beckman, local
representative OF the Georgia Peach
Growers Exchange, WAS asked
about the reported dumping INTO
the rivers of Georgia of 100000
bushels of peaches, which report
was widely circulated through the
Associated Press, he said that the
yarn on the face of it showed its
falseness. In the first place it
would be impossible to get that
many peaches to dump.
Again it would be absolutely fool
ish on the part of the growers to
pick that many peaches at consid-
cradle expense and then dump them
The probable basis of this story, he
said, was that few small-sized
peaches which, because of the uE-
satisfactory condition of the market
it was not profitable to ship and
which could not be used for by
products, might have been dumped
this year, as is done every year.
"There has been some complaint
on the part of old line peach houses
that have made a speciality Of
peaches in season, that there have
been too many receivers in tnis
market, and that is one of the
reasons why the deal went to the
bad so suddenly last week. During
the days Of heavy receipts, there
have been as high as 40 different
firms receiving peaches on the same
day.
Many of these firms have never
had any real experience in Che
handling Of peaches, which is bust
ness in itself These people have
