THE COLORED BROTHER OR THE CREATOR'S MASTERPIECE v We reproduce from the Commercial Appeal of September 7th the followinj I extracts from an article written bj S. P. Davis, of Indianola, Miss., on the "nogro, whom he regards as "the Creator's masterpiece." That the writer is thoroughly familiar with his subject is shown by the interesting, amusing and truthful manner in which he bandies it: * "The negro can lie down beneath the scorching rays of a noonday sun and sleep the sleep of the seven sleep? ers of old without suffering any evil effects from it whatever; or he can weather the fiercest winter gale, ciao only In a pair of cotton overalls and a blue jumper. He can also wear an ^ overcoat to a Fourth of July celebration, or a pair of linen pants and an alpaca coat to a Christmas tree and bo perfected comfortable. And strange as it may seem, anybody's clothes will fit him and look nice on him. There is nothing else like hiir under the sun. He sees all things hears all things, believes all things and has implicit faith in everything he sees or hears and stands ready at all times to step aboard of anything that canes along, from a young mule to a flying machine. V "Wireless telegraphy is nothing new to him; he has used it for ages: every negro's mouth is a transmitter and every ear a receiver. If anything of Importance happens on a plantation tonight, every negro for. forty miles around will know it by morning. "Saturday is his special day by custom and common consent, and if you have any business to attend to in a - delta town on Saturday, attend to il early ana get on ine siretus u?ui * you get hurt. A negro cannot see you Saturday unless you owe him something, and if you get ip his way he * is liable to step on you, sit down on you, or back you up against a brick wall and smother you to death. He does not usually do these things, 01 any of them, through any evil design as many sometimes suppose, but he simply cannot help it if you get in hie way, for he is busy and cannot look out for you. Saturday is his 'rashions' and news exchange day, and in addi* tion to having all those things on his mind, he has to shake hands with every other negro in town and hug every negro woman he meets. You " had better take out an accident policy or get off the streets Saturday. "The sandard 'rashions' for a negrc is a peck of cornmeal. two pounds of sugar, one pound of coffee, three * pounds of salt meat and one gallon oi black molasses a week, but he can consume all of this at one sitting if ^ necessary, of if he is working for you and boarding himself he can live a week on three soda crackers, a box of sardines and five cents' worth of cheese. In other words, his stomach is built on the sdme general plan of an old-fashioned accordion, and either contracts or expands according to th( pressure brought to bear upon it. , "He is also immune to nearly all kinds of poisons, and can swallow the most deadly drugs with impunity I remember of having a negro working for me one time who was having t chills and was suffering with severe backaches. I got him a bottle of chill tonic to take and a bottle of linimenl to rub his back with. The liniment was labeled in box-car letters, 'Poi son; For External Use Only,' and I cautioned him about it when I gavt it to him, but for three days and nights, before I found it out, he had been rubbing his back with the chill tonic and taking a tablespoonful o! the liniment three times a day beforr feach meal, with excellent results. Or another occasion I was sick and bar a negro to wait upon me, and th( doctor opened a can of antiphologis tine to make a plaster for my side and left the can on the kitchen table and when my negro went in to gel his supper he mistook it for a can o! ? peanut butter and ate the whole of i without ever discovering his mistake. "He is likewise a great aamner u art, and in nearly every negro's hor?< * be it ever so humble, there hangs s life-9ize crayon protrait of himself 01 the wall right opposite the door where you will be sure to see it as yoi come in the door. The rest ?>f hi: surplus money he usually spends fo h entertainment, preferably an excur eion but anything else in (motion wil do. I have frequently stood on th< street corner on a cold, cloudy winte * day and watched as anany as fift; negroes, who would not average r?< Cents each, and none of whom had oi clothes enough to flag a flat car, cling ing to a merry-go-round as it wen round and round, grinding out tha well-known and much-beloved melodj 'Oh, Billy Bailey. Why Don't Yoi Come Home?' and their front teetl shining like the keys on a baby grant piano, while hundreds of others, wh ' did not have the price of a ride, wer standing in half-frozen mud shoe mouth deep, cheering them as the came around. "Take it from Me* Playhouse Ben-1 nettsville, April 4th. "Take it from Me" the most popular musical comedy produced in years - and one of the few musical comedies on tour this or any other season to ' carry the original cast and production s will be presented under the direction ' of Jos.

Text. Rev. 1:8. "I am Alpha and Omega." Prayer Meeting on Wednesday 1 evening at 7:30. "All things are pleasing to him. A circus or a funeral is equally enjoyable, but a protracted meeting follow'ed by a big baptising, or a term of circuit court followed by a public hanging, is his chiefest delight. "Whenever a negro tires of country i life he moves to town, acquires a char coal bucket and a tailor's goose, forms | ( an alliance with some white man's : cook, and with his living thus assured opens a cleaning and pressing establishment. He then goes out Monday i morning and gathers in the Sunday clothes of the white clerks of town, and after wearing them himself every '! night during the week, he gets up Sati urday morning and treats them to a gasoline bath, tlatens them out with a red-hot iron and rushes them home ' to their owners, so that they may wear them Sunday; collects $1.00 for I his services in their behalf and goes on his way rejoicing. But should . there be any special occasion in town on Saturday night which he wishes to : attend he holds back the best suit that ? he happens to have on hand and I wears it to that, and carries it home| t Sunday morning if he wakes up in t time; otherwise it* owner cau lay in bed over Sunday, and he will bring it [ back sometime the following Monday. "If perchance his fancy does not I run fn Cleaning clothes, he gets him-! 1 self a gasoline stove and other para- ; I phernalia wherewith to defeat the f vagrant statute, and sets up a lunch 1 counter, where he serves all such as i care to come his way, irrespective of 1 race, color or previous conditions of ; servitude, with hamburgers, hot cat-; - fish and beef sausage, and sometimes i , sweet spirits of fennenti on the side. .. But should neither of the locations | t j appeal to him, he usually opens a col- j f ored barber shop with a poolrooci t crap table in the rear. "As soon as the city authorities bef come obnoxious to him, however, he ? j again goes back to the quiet country i life, usually right after the Christmas i holidays and joins himself to a cotton ',! planter, and by his certain written con. i tract duly executed in duplicate, obs licates and binds himself lo cultivate r and gather a crop of cotton on the - land therein described, and on the 1 strength thereof proceeds to eat up el anywhere from $f> to $1500 worth of r grub while he is waiting for the y | ground to get in shape to plow, and 0, it very frequently happens ttyit when a the trees begin to bud and v*hen the -' birds begin to sing, Mr. Negro is seizt ed with wanderlust and suddenly dist appears, and the people who once knew \ him know him no unore forever, "Every a i delta town also has its full quota of ti negro women, who, like the lily, toil, [1 not, neither do they spin, yet the o Queen of Sheba in all of her glory e was never clad like unto one of them. -1 "Surely the negro is fearfully and y wonderfully made, and his ways are t past finding out." POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL Washington, D. C., March 25.?The House has at last passed another bonus bill though almost identical, in form with the one passed two years ago and which the Senate laid on the shelf at Harding's request. It remains to be seen what will be done with the present bill, with all of Wall Street opposing it. The bill itself is satisfactory to no one. The soldier whose "adjusted compensation" entitles him to less than $50 can get it in cash; the others have to take a certificate of indebtedness which finally becomes due in 20 years. Meanwhile, if he wants to get money, he has to borrow it at a bank and pay a larger rate of interest than the certificate bears, though the certificate is as unuch the ob ligation of the government as is a Liberty Bond and should entitle the owner to the lowest rate of interest at which money can be borrowed. It, is difficult to understand why the soldier should be allowed to borrow only 50 per cent of the face value of the certificate; almost any bank will lend 75 per cent of the market value of certificate of stock in a railroad or industrial corporation if the stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, though these stocks at times fluctuate wildly, and, of course, have much less stable value than the obligation of the United States Jov}rn: nient. Senator Lodge insists that Congress has made a great and glorious record of constructive legislation; the average man on the street thinks that Congress has done practically nothing, and has done it very badly. The Republicans made a great deal of noise, about a year ago, over the question of reorganizing the Governmental Departments, cutting out much Hnniifi.Hnn of work and thus saving the taxpayers many millions of dol-j lars. A most excellent Congressional i Commission was made up for thej work, but some time ago the President insisted that he be allowed to place a personal representative on this Commission, a suggestion which was opposed by the two Democratic members, Senator Harrison of Mississippii and Representative R. Walton of Virginia. Nevertheless, the President appointed Walter E. Brown of Ohio, and the Commission made him chairman. Up to that time the Commission was making excellent progress and gave promise of saving many millions, but Brown served as an anaesthetic of the most powerful sort and the suspicion is very strong that this was the purpose of his appointment. . Since that time there has been absolutely nothing done; reorganization is chloroformed. No meetings are being held and work is at a'standstill. Thin the administration escapes two etubarrassmeents many hundreds of jobs are saved to the party and a number of inter-deparflmental wrangles are hushed up. Agriculture and; Interior were ready to fly at each other's throats over the question of which should control the Forest Service; Interior and Commerce were at! daggers points over Alaska; Treasury and Justice both striving to get control over prohibition enforcement; Commerce and Agriculturjfe divided" Chcraw 111 Defeats Fletcher Memorial, ' I. The first ball game of the season at Cheraw was played on last Friday between Fletcher Manorial school of McColl and Cheraw High school teams. I It was a pitchers battle up until the eighth inning Fletcher Memorial scoring-three runs in errors. In the eighth Cheraw started a batting rally. Evans, W., got a clean single and was sacrificed down to second by Stubbs. Causey then got on by an error. Matheson came up next and drove a double over right field fence j scoring Evans and Causey. He then; stole third and scored on Lide's dou-1 ble tying the score. Graham relieved Sweat as hinder for Fletcher Memorial. Covington laid down a roller to Graham who tried to catch Lide going to! Ikl.j ?n,l f T O. nn ' iiiuu uuu laui'u. uiuc diuic uuiuc wu j Graham's delivery and Covington went; to second scoring on Ballard's hit,; who also scored when Little knocked j a two bagger over the fence. Both; Evans, M. and Evans, W. were out end. ing the inning. Lide's pitching was a feature, he striking out twenty men while Fletcher Memorial hurlers struck out eight. The score was 7 to 3 in favor of Cheraw. A Scotch preacher had been abroad,j and when he came back he was preaching to his congregation on the marvels he had seen. He wound up with this: "And thef the same Creator who made the; vast ocean maed the dewdrop. The, Creator who made the mountain | made the pebble. Yes, and that1 same Creator who made me made a daisy!" | Civic League Notes. On Friday afternoon, March 24th the Civic League held its first meet ing since the election of new officers. The retiring officials should be tendered a vote of thanks by the town, for two years of exceptionally fine work. Mrs. L. A. Kerr, who was unanimously chosen president, has many plans for needed improvements. In carrying these to completion she will he efficiently supported by Mrs. Ernest Duvall, vice president, Mrs. Henry Whnnamaker, secretary and Mrs. R. R. mcKson, treasurer. The town authorities are to be commended for the fine spirit of cooperation they are displaying in civic service. A light has been placed in front of the school building where it was greatly needed, and another has been promised. Next week, the first week in April, is Clean-Up Week. The town truck will bp available for hauling off results, if said results are placed on or near the street?not later than the first week in April. Everybody is expected to help in making Cheraw a healthy town, by removing from their premises all homes for disease breading germs and mosquitoes. A railing has been placed around the Green, and painted?this for the safe guarding of shrubbery planted there. But alas! The railing cannot fence out the papers that year by year continue to gambol at their own sweet will over Green and adjacent streets. Would it be unreasonable on the part of the League, to ask those who are responsible for the generous and in-martial distribution of thane naners to follow the example of the Cheraw Hardware Store, and confine all waste and unsightly debris in a pen or box at the rear of buildings Instead of the front? They can be just as easily removed from that location, and the business section of the town would then make us glad instead of sad when our visiting friends accidentally catch a glimpse of it on Sunday afternoons. The Library is growing steadily in interest, number of books and subscribers, having considerably over a Hundred members, who are promptly on hand every Saturday aftenoon. A deeply interested committee is working out a plan for a beautiful memorial to our boys who lost their lives in the World War. It is to be hoped their plan will soon crystalize into a certainty, and that this memorial so earnestly desired by all our people may be delayed no longer. o Services at Methodist Church. Methodist Episcopal Church, South Dr. Watson B. Duncan, Pastor. "The Friendly Church." Sunday School at 10 A. M., Mr. H. A. McLeod, Superintendent. There were two hundred and fortyfive people present in the School last Sunday. The goal fixed for regular attendance is three hundred. Preaching at 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. by the Pastor. , Morning Subject: "Consecration and Conquest." Evening Subject: "The Friend of Sinners." Junior Epworth League at 3 P. M. Senior League at 7:45 P. M. Revival Services through the week at 10:30 A. M. and 8 P. M. Public cordially invited to all services. over the Packers Control legislation; and so on down the list. The departmental chiefs are as jealous of each other as a bunch of opera singers. Each is constantly striving to extend his authority, his dominion and the number of his appointments. Rather hard on the poor taxpayer. Why not list the Republican Senatorial seats on the New York Stock Market and thus make the trading public and under responsible supervision? A Washington paper called Labor, devoted to the interests of the workers, thinks that Wilson, Billy Sunday utuI Hardinp should he added to lists of the immortals, "because Wilson kept us out of war, while Sunday is keeping us out of Hades and Harding is keeping us out of work." Harding could not control the House on the bonus proposition; the members of that body have to answer to the voters in November. The President can only control the House when he asks it to do something which the people desire. President Wilson was called a dictator when he put one meritorious measure after another through a willing Congress, co-operating with him day after day for six years, until the Republicans got control of the House. Then Wilson said: "Those who call me a dictator should wait until I propose to Congress something opposed to the interests of the people. Then they will realize how little power 1 possess." PATENTED WEEVIL REMEDIES Much Money Wasted on Such Device Says Director Long. Clemsnn College, March 2C-?It la evident that the farmers of South Carolina are spending thousands of dollars in the purchasing of different machines, exterminators, and paten ed methods of boll weevil control simply upon the authority of statements made by the agents who are selling them, says Director W. W Long, who feels sure that millions of dollars have been absolutely thrown away in this manner by the farmerg of the Southern states as the boll weevil has made its advances through the cotton belt, by purchasing contrivances and materials thai failed to do what was claimed for them. Clemslnn College makes this offer to all of the agents who are selling boll weevil exterminators, catchers and patented methods of boll weevil control; that if such agents will submit their machines and patented methods to the experts of the United States Departtment of Agriculture, in the event that the experts of the United States Department of Agriculture and Clemson College find thorn meritorious and consequently are willing after sufficient trial to advise farmers to make the purchase of any of these exterminators, catch ers or methods of control, Clemson College will at once use all its power and influence through the public press and through all of its agencies, to call to the attention of the people the success of any exterminator or catcher or method of control, thus eliminating the expense on the part of the manufacturers or patentees in the hiring of agent3 and the large sum expended for advertising and other necessary expenses in bringing their machines or products to the attention of the farmers of South Carolina. If these agencies have what they claim, they will be glad of the opportunity of having the college and the United States Government to become in the last analysis their advertising and sales agents. If there are any companies or any agents offering for sale machines and remedies for the control of the boll weevil who ar? not willing for the government to pass upon the efficiency of their machines and methods, the fact should raise a reasonable doubt in the minds of farmers as to the wisdom of investing in their so-called machines and methods of control of the boll weevil. Royal Arch Meeting. There will be a special meeting of Royal Arch Masons this Friday night to give the M. E. M. and Royal Arch degrees to eight candidates. These come from Cheraw and other parts of the county, and are fine material to work on. It is hoped that a goodly number of members will be out to give the candidates a hearty, rousing welcome. The Revival Services. Great interest is being taken in the preparation for the Revival Services tn hopin nt tho Methodist Phlirch on next Sunday. The hours for service during the week will be 10:30 A. M. and 8 P. M. The miorning service will last just one hour. The evening service will last about one hour also. The excellent Choir of the Methodist Church will be assisted by several of the best singers in town and by a Junior Choir which is being organized for the occasion. The Pastor, Dr. "Whtson B. Duncan, takes the position that a Revival, in whatever Church it is held, should be a blessing to the entire community. Otherwise it should not be held at all. He is making an earnest appeal to ail good people of the community to help make the meeting a general blessing. School Boys Take a Trip. After careful preparation on Sunday for a trip to Florida via row boat to Georgetown as a first lap of the journey, four school boys, Frank Brasington, Roderick Watt3, Curtis Richards and Braxton Parker caused their parents considerable anxiety on last Monday. ' It seems that the boys had taken a boat on Sunday afternoon down to where Thompson Creek empties into the river about 3 miles from Cheraw, preparatory to the trip but when, on Monday, they arrived at the spot where they left the boat, they found that the owner had gotten there ahead of them and had taken it back to Cheraw. The boys had to give up their trip but spent the day in the woods starting to Cheraw in the afternoon about four o'clock. They ncre overtaken on the road by It. Mcl. Watts and J. A. Parker, fathers of two of the boys, who were out looking for them, and brought back to town, "none the worse" for their experience.
