CHAPTER VII.
Man's Reason.
There was one of the tribe of Tarzan
who questioned his authority, and
% that was Terkoz, the son of Tublat,
but he so feared the keen knife and
the deadly arrows of his new lord
that he confined the manifestation
of his objections to petty disobediences
and irritating mannerisms.
Tarzan knew, however, that he but
waited his opportunity to wrest the
kingship from him by some sudden
stroke of treachery and so he was
always on guard against surprise.
For months the life of the little
band went on much at it had before,
except that Tarzan's greater intelligence
and his ability as a hunter
were the means of providing for them
bountifully than ever before. Most or
them, therefore were more than content
with the change in rules.
During this period Tarzan paid
many nocturnal visits to the village,
where he often renewed his supply
" of arrows.
The blacks had not as yet come
upon Tarzan's cabin on the distant
beach, but the ape man lived in constant
dread that, while he* was away
^ with the tribe, they would discover
and despoil his treasure. So it came
that he spent more and more time
in the vicinity of his father's last
home and less and less with the tribe.
Presently the members of his little
community began to suffer on account
of his neglect, for disputes and quarrels
constantly arose which only the
king might settle peaceably.
At last Some of the older apes spoke
to Tarzan on the subject, and for a
month thereafter he remained constantly
with the tribe.
Tarzan tired of it when he found
that kingship meant the curtailment of
his liberty. He longed for the little
cabin and the sun kissed sea, for the
cool interior of the well built house
and for the never ending wonders of
the many books.
As he had grown older he found

pie. Their Interests and his were far
removed. They had not kept pace with
t him, nor could they understand aught
of the many strange and wonderful
m dreams that passed through the active
brain of their human king.
Had Kala lived Tarzan would have
sacrificed all else to remain near her,
but now she was dead, and, the playful
f friends of his childhood grown into
surly brutes, he felt that he much preferred
the peace and solitude of his
cabin to the Irksome duties of leadedship
among a horde of wild beasts.
The hatred and jealousy of Terkoz,
son of Tablat, did much to counteract
the effect of Tarzan's desire to renounce
his kingship among the apes,
for, stubborn young Englishman that
he was, he could not bring himself to
retreat in the face of so malignant an
enemy.
That Terkoz would be chosen leader
in his stead he knew full well, for
time and again the ferocious brute had
established his claim to physical supremacy
over the few bull apes who
had dared resent his savage bullying.
Tarzan would have liked to subdue
the beast without recourse to knife
or arrows. So much had his great
strength and agility increased in the
^ period following his maturity that he
had come to believe that he might
master the redoubtable Terkoz in a
hand to hand fight were it not for
the terrible advantage the anthropoid's
huge fighting fangs gave him over the
poorly armed Tarzan.
One day the tribe was feeding quietly,
spread over a considerable area,
when a great screaming rose some
distance east of where Tarzan lay upon
his belly beside a limpid brook, attempting
to catch an elusive fish in
his quiet brown hands.
With one accord the tribe swung
rapidly toward the frightened cries
an(* 'bere found Terkoz holding an
old female by the hair and beating
her unmercifully with his great hands.
As Tarzan approached he raised his
hand aloft for Terkoz to desist, for the
female was not his. but belonged to a
9 poor old ape whose fighting days were
long over and who therefore could not
protect his family.
Terkoz knew that it was against the
laws of his tribe to strike the woman
of another; but. being a bully, he had
taken advantage of the weakness of
the female's husband to chastise her
because she had refused to give up to
him a tender young rodent she had
captured.
* When Terkoz saw Tarzan approaching
without his arrows he continued to
belabor the poor woman in a studied
effort to affront his hated chieftain.
Tarzan uia not repeat nis warning
signal, but instead rushed boldly upon
the waiting Terkoz.
Never had the ape man fought so
terrible a battle since that long gone
* _ day when the great king gorilla had
so horribly manhandled him ere the
new found knife had, by accident,
pricked the savage heart.
Tarzan's knife on the present occa^
sion but barely offset the gleaming
fangs of Terkoz, and what little advantage
the ape had over the man in
brute strength was almost balanced by

i
the latter's wonderful quickness and
agility.
In the sum total of their points, how
ever, the anthropoid had a shade the
better of the battle, and had there
been no other personal attribute to iniluence
the final outcome Tarzan of
the apes, the young Lord Greystoke,
would have died as he had lived?an
unknown savage beast in equatorail
Africa.
But there was that which had raised
him far above his fellows of the jungle,
that little spark which spells the
vast difference between man and brute
?reason. This it was that saved him
from death beneath the iron muscles
and tearing fangs of Terkoz.
Scarcely had they fought a dozen
seconds ere they were rolling upon the
ground, striking, tearing and rending?
two great savage beasts battling to the
death.
Terkoz had a dozen knife wounds on
head and breast, and Tarzan was torn
and bleeding, his scalp in one place
half torn from his head, so that a
great piece hung down over one eye,
obstructing his vision.
But so far the young Englishman
had been able to keep the horrible
fangs from his juglar, and, as they
fought less fiercely for a moment to
regain their breath. Tarzan formed
a cunning plan. He would work his
way to the other's back and clinging
there with tooth and nail, drive his
knife home until Terkoz was no more.
The maneuver was accomplished
A?o(l?f *Kon V* o Karl hnnnrl fnr t hp
stupid beast, not knowing what Tarzan
was attempting, made no particular
eiTort to prevent the accomplishment
of the design.
But when finally he realized that his
antagonist was fastened to him where
his teeth and fists alike were useless
against him Terkoz' hurled himself
about upon the ground so violently
that Tarzan could but cling desperately
to the leaping, turning, twisting
body, and ere he had struck a blow
the knife was hurled from his hand by
a heavy impact against the earth.
Tarzan found himself defenseless.
During the rollings and squirmings
of the next few minutes Tarzan's hold
was loosened a dozen times, until finally
an accidental circumstance of those
swift and ever changing evolutions
gave him a new hold with his right
hand, which he soon realized was absolutely
unassailable.
His arm was passed beneath Terkoz's
arm from behind, and his hand
and forearm encircled the back of Terkoz's
neck. It was the half nelson of
modern wrestling which the untaught
ape man had stumbled upon, but divine
reason showed him in an instant
the value of the thing he had discovere
1 t was the difference to him be
tw. ire ana aeatn.
A. so he struggled to encompass a
similar hold with the left hand. In a
few moments Terkoz's bull neck was
creaking beneath a full nelson.
There was no more lunging about
now. The two lay perfectly still upon 1
the ground. Tarzan upon Terkoz's
back. Slowly the bullet head of the
ape was being forced lower and lower
upon his chest.
Tarzan knew what the result would
be. In an instnat the neck would
break. Then there came to Terkoz's
rescue the same thing that had put
him in these sore straits?a man's reasoning
power.
"If I kill him," thought Tarzan,
"what advantage will it be to me?
Will it not but rob the tribe of a great
fighter? And if Terkoz is dead he will
know nothing of my supremacy, while
alive he will be an example to the other
apes."
"Ka-doda?" hissed Tarzan in Terkoz's
ear, which in ape tongue means,
freely translated. "Do you surrender?"
For a moment there was no reply,
and Tarzan added a few more ounces
of pressure, which elicted a horrified
shriek of pain from the great beast.
rvct-suua. ; i cycaicu iai wu.
"Ka-goda!" cried Terkoz.
'Listen," said Tairzan, easing up a
trifle, but not releasing his hold. "I
am Tarzan, king of the apes, mighty
hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jungle^
here is none so great.
"You have said 'Ka-goda' to me.
All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no
more with your king or your people,
for next time I shall kill you. Do you
understand?"
"Huh," assented Terkoz.
"And you are satisfied?"
"Huh," said the ape.
Tarzan let him up, and in a few
minutes all were back at their vocations
as though naught had occurred
to mar the tranquility of their primeval
forest haunts.
But deep in the minds of the apes
was rooted the conviction that Tarzan
was a mighty fighter and a strange
creature?strange because he had had
it in his power to kill his enemy, but
had allowed him to live, unharmed.
That afternoon as the tribe came together,
as was their wont after darkness
settled on the jungle, Tarzan, his
wounds washed in the limpid waters
of the little stream, called the old
males about him.
"You have seen again today that
Tarzan of the apes is the greatest
among you," he said.
"Huh," they replied with one voice.
"Tarzan is great."
"Tarzan," he continued, "is not an
ape. fie is not nne nis peopie. ms
ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan
is going- back to the lair of his own
kind by the waters of the great lake
which has no farther shore. You must
choose another to rule you. Tarzan
will not return."
And thus young Lord Greystoke took
the first step toward the goal which he
had set himself?the finding of other
white men like himself.
The following morning Tarzan lame
and sore from the wounds of his bat
tie with Terkoz, set out toward the
west and the seacoast.
He traveled very slowly, sleeping in
the jungle at night and reaching his
cabin late the following morning.
For several days he moved about
but little, only enough to gather what
fruit ahd nuts he required to satisfy i
the demands of hunger. '
In ten days he was quite Bound
again except for a terrible, half healed
scar which, starting above his left eye,
ran across the top of his head, ending
at the right ear. It was the mark left
by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp
a tt a/
During his convalescence Tarzan
tried to fashion a mantle from the
skin of Sabor, the tigar, which had j
lain all this time in the cabin. But he
found the hide dried as stifT as a ,
board, he was forced to abandon his t
cherished plan. 1
Then he determined to filch what j
few garments he could from one of the
black men of Mbonga's viggage, for he
had decided to mark his elevation
from the lower orders in every possible
manner, and nothing seemed to
him a more distinguishing badge of i
manhood than ornaments and clothing, i
To this end, therefore, he collected <
the various arm and leg ornaments he I
had taken from the black warriors who <
had succumbed to his swift and silent 1
noose and donned them all. t
About his neck hung the golden I
chain from which depended the dla- i
mond incrusted locket of his mother,
the Lady Alice. At his back was a .
quiver of arrows slung from a leather <
shoulder belt, another piece of loot
from some vanquished black.
About his wrist was a belt of tiny
strips of rawhide fashioned by himself *
as a support for the homemade scabbard
in which hung his father's hunt- '
ing knife. The long bow which had *
been Kulonga's hung over his left '
shoulder.
The young Lord Greystoke was in- '
deed a strange and warlike figure, his
mass of black hair falling to his shoulders
behind and cut with his hunting
knife to a rude bang upon his forehead,
that it might not fall before his
eyes.
Hair was commencing to grow upon
his face. All the apes had hair upon
theirs, but the black men were entirely
hairless, with very few exceptions.
True he had seen pictures in his
books of men with great masses of
hair upon lip and cheek and chin; but,
nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. Almost
daily he whetted his keen knife
and scraped and whittled at his young
beard to eradicate this degrading emblem
of apehood.
And so he learned to shave, rudely
and painfully, It Is true, but nevertheless
effectively.

TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS
General Results Not Satisfactory to
Democrats.
The off-year elections of last Tuesday
were of national interest mainly
because of such pointers as they may
throw out as to public endorsement of
the Wilson administration, although
as we see it, there was not a great deal
in th? situation to furnish convincing
evidence along that line. t
Three Republican congressmen were ,
elected in New York to fill unexpired ?
terms, and one of them was from a dis- 1
trict heretofore strongly Democratic.
The Republicans emphasize the cir- j
cumstances that the issues in all three j
districts were only such as arise out ^
of the Democratic administration of j
affairs.
The Charlotte Observer of Thursday
gives the following conservative and
comprehensive editorial summary of <
the situation as it appeared to that ?
paper: (
The Democrat who would find consolation
in the defeat of the New York
constitution drafted by a convention (
presided over by Elihu Root and which ?
was strongly advocated by him. goes (
far afield for political encouragement.
Likewise, the Republican who thinks 1
the election of a Republican governor <
of Massachusetts is cause for throw- t
ing up his hat, is hard pressed to see t
something good in the signs of the
times. Neither event bore political v
significance of any kind. Massachusetts
has countenanced a Democratic
governor merely for ornamental purposes
and never as an exhibit of
strength or integrity. It is a fact,
though, that the Democrat can draw
but small comfort out of the result in
New Jersey, where, out of compliment
to President Wilson, if for no other
purpose, they should have kept down
the Republican strength in the legislature.
On the other hand, the Republicans
may think their part should
have done better. It is an off year,
however, and the Democrats may be
reasonably expected to bring about a
reversal in conditions in the election
when scalps are worth going for. The
Democratic advantages in Maryland
are negligible, and in Philadelphia the
Republicans have returned but a little
bit more completely into their own.
While tremendous majorities were
piled up against the women, the vote
cast for their cause may be regarded
as of the paving-the-way character.
We may be pretty sure that Colonel
Bryan will have an explanation for the
vote on the state-wide prohibition
movement in Ohio and he can with
truth claim substantial gains for the
movement in that state, the majority of
a year ago against the amendment
having been cut about half. We do
not see in the results of Tuesday's
elections where any of them will have
occasion to trot out the crowing
rooster.
Equality Before the Law.?A dispatch
from Little Rock, Arkansas,
tells of three white men sentenced to f
life imprisonment for the robbery and ,
murder of a negro, a new thing, it is ,
said, in the history of the state. We
are glad to see it. The Progressive (
Farmer believes in pivinK white neinhbrotherhood
a chance to limit future .
land sales to white people because
we believe this is simple justice for
the white man, and his wife and child- '
ren. White men with their families '
do not butt into negro communities, ,
and negros should be prevented from '
similar coming into white communities
where they are not wanted. But <
we believe in being just to the negro <
and protecting him in the justice ex- |
ercise of all his rights. In some connection,
too, we notice with some
pleasure this statement in the Nor- (
folk Journal and Guide: <
"The courts of Tennessee have de- ,
cided that a white man's negro common
law wife is entitled to his estate. '
and accordingly awarded a negro wo- 1
man and her children $S0,000 left by
their white common law husband and j
father."
This may not be just the right 1
plan for dealing with a shameful sit- :
nation, but some remedy for it must <
be found. By all means, if we can't J
have any more severe punishment for
immoral white men, traitors to their
race and blood, let them be made to s
suffer in pocket. We should like to ,
see the last one of the guilty ones in (
future fined, imprisoned and disfranchised.?Progressive

The Election of Next Tuesday. I
We have heretofore refrained from a
iny expression of opinion upon the i
luestion of reconstruction under the t
:ongressional plan. First, because of t
>ur unwillingness to assume a respon- 1
tibillty not required of us, and, sec- 1
indly, because this paper has always r
leclined to take sides with any politi- I
:al party upon political questions. In r
he present aspect of the reconstruciori
question we feel that our first
>bjection to advising is not a heavy one ?
tnd the second is no longer of force a
'or there can be no party among the 1
ntelligent voters of South Carolina on
his subject. c
Believing then that the plan of re- c
construction now before the people to r
>e decided on the 19th and 20th of this r
nonth Is one of wrong and injustice *
o our people, ruinous alike to their t
prosperity and peace and destined if J
successful, to convert our land into a
lesert waste, we do not hesitate to say (
hat this monstrous wrong should not a
>e consummated with their sanction. t
Have we the people of this state any n
neans left us by which to oppose this e
neasure? We have; and the strongest t
veapon of self-defense we can use is f
naction. The following clause from ?
he military reconstruction act shows a
hat in order to hold a convention a t
najority of all the registered voters
nust have voted either for or against t
t convention. We give the paragraph c
rom the act: t
"If a majority of the votes given on t
he question (for or against a con- t
mention) be favorable then such con- ?
mention shall be held as hereinafter p
provided; but if a majority be opposed e
10 such convention shall be held under
his act; provided that such convention i
?hall not be held unless a majority of a
U1 such registered voters shall have I
iroted on the question of holding such I
convention." P
Gen. Canby's order for the election 1
ilso states: a
"That an election be held in the state t
>f South Carolina, commencing on i
ruesday, the 19th of November, 1K67, f
inn enuiiiK vveuuesuay, inr -viu .
November, 1867, at which all repistered
voters of said state may vote for a
convention or apainst a convention and f
Tor delepates to constitute the conven- r
tion in case a majority of the votes i
?iven on that question shall be for a \
[convention and in case a majority of r
he repistered voters, shall have voted t
m the question of holdinp such contention."
r
So to hold a convention it is requis- j
te. first, that a majority of all persons 1
repistered shall vote on the subject of r
i convention and. second, that a ma- r
iority of the votes polled be "for a p
convention." r
If either of these propositions fail I
i convention cannot be held. It is ap- t
sarent then that any repistered voter n
opposed to a convention beinp held in $
South Carolina can make his opposi- f
tion as effectual by staying away from
the polls and not voting as by going
to the polls and voting against a convention.
Nay, even more effectual for
by voting on the subject he swells the
number of those registered and increases
the chance of the convention
being called under that clause of the
act requiring that a majority of the
registered shall vote on the question.
Now, it-Is safe to assume that all the
negroes that go to the polls will vote
for a convention. Many of them perhaps
will not vote at all and If none
of the white people vote there is a
probability that less than a majority'
of the registered voters will vote on the
question. If this be the case the convention
will be defeated.
If then the conservative white citizens
of South Carolina are content
with the present constitution of the
state, and do not desire to inaugurate
el negro anarchy, we advise them one
sind all to stay away from the polls on
Tuesday and Wednesday.

FOR PROTECTION OF FLOWERS ;
J. S. Department of Agriculture Gives
Directions for Protection of Winter
Gardens. 1
At this season many inquiries come '
o the United States department of 1
igriculture regarding the protection of <
garden plants and shrubs during the
vinter. Such flowers as peonies and
lollyhocks will come up again the fol- 1
owing year if they are properly pro- 1
ected during the winter, while others '
ike cannas and dahlias, which are 1
nore accustomed to warm climates,
nust have their roots or bulbs dug
lp and stored in a cellar. The detriment's
specialists give the fol* '
owing suggestions for "putting the
garden to bed:"
Hardy Perennials.
Cover hardy perennials, such as
>eonies, larkspur, hollyhocks, columlines,
iris, plalycodons and peren- ^
lial poppies, with a good coating of ^
nanure or other litter to a depth of 3 (
?r 4 inches. In more southern locali- ,
ies this will hold the frost in the
rround and keep the plant from alernately
freezing and thawing; in
nore northern regions the manure
vill protect the plant from freezing
0 a depth that will cut off its water
lupply.
Cannas and Dahlias.
As soon as the tops of cannas,
lahlias, gladious, caladitnus and simiar
plants are killed by irost, dig up
he roots or bulbs and store them in
1 cellar where the temperature will
emain at 55 degreee and should never
;o below 50 or above 60 degrees. Do
tot shake any more earth from the
slumps of cannas and dahlias than is
iece3sary in removing them from the
ground. Place the plants on racks or
n slat boxes so the air may circulate
reely through them. No frost must
each the roots nor must they become
oo warm or dry.
Hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas (semi-herbaceous) in
he south will last through the winter
tut-of-doors, if properly cared for.
The tops should be protected witn
itraw or brush. This may be held In
dace about the bushes with a little
nanure or stones. The flower buds of
he hydrangea form in the fall, and,
his cover will keep them from winterAiling
while shielding the bush from
vinds and sun. In the north hydran;eas
must be taken up, planted in tubs
ind placed in the cellar. This is genrally
true of latitudes north of Philalelphia.
As a rule shrubs should not be trim
no a in me iaji. mis process is iuiacijt
inmediately after the blooming period,
f this is In the spring, as in the case
?f the snowball. If the shrubs bloom
n the fall, as do some hydrangeas,
he rose of Sharon, and some lilacs,
hey should not be cut directly after
dooming, but in the spring of the folowing
year. Lilacs, snowballs and
nock orange should be let alone durng
the winter, being neither trimmed
lor covered with straw and manure.
Roaes.
Almost all kinds of roses are hardy
n the vicinities of Washington, D. C.,
md St. Louis and to the south of a
ine drawn between these points.
Prom Washington northward local
:onditions influence the successful
:ultivation of certain varieties. Some
oses, as the brier and rugosa, need
10 protection, but other varieties, as
lybrid-perpetuals, teas and hybrideas,
need special care, particularly
lorth of the fortieth parallel. Teas
ind hybrid teas hardly succeed in
Chicago, although the hybrid perpetui
Id (V??aw no for O u PfinQfln All
hese classes do well on Long Island
ind In Boston near the sea when prop r
care is given them. These varieies
in the vicinity of Washington
leed merely a little* manure on the
rround to prevent alternate freezing
md thawing. Farther north, however,
hey should be treated, as follows:
Cut the tops to within 30 inches of
he ground. Cover the roots with
oarse manure or leaves or similar liter.
Hold this in place by evergreen
toughs which also acts as a protecion.
Brush from deciduous trees or
hrubs may be substituted for the evergreen

regions.
Mounds of earth about six or eight
nches in height should be drawn
ibout the base of the rose bushes to
teep them from mice. As an added
jrotection against mice, permit the
rround to freeze slightly before winter
jrotection is supplied. In fact, roses
hould not be protected until after the
irst light freeze, which may be exited
in Washington. D. C.. about the
irst of December, but earlier farther

Climbing Roses.
In the latitude of Philadelphia and
arther south climbing roses usually
iced no protection during the winter
inless they are a particularly tender ?
variety. Farther north these roses ]
teed protection similar to that given t

Where it is possible to do so, re- t
nove climbing- roses from their sup- 1

POLICY OF PREPAREDNESS
Colonel Bryan Disagrees With the
President.
WOULD PRESERVE OUR TRADITIONS.
Former Secretary of State Sounds Note
that WilJ Probably Have Weight in
the Great Fight that is to be Waged
in the Next Congress.
Former Secretary Bryan came out
squarely against President Wilson's
national defense plan last Friday In a
formal statement In which he took
ioono tit 1 f V\ fho npooi/^onfa iHowa o a
previously expressed before the Man- y
hattan club In New York.
"A departure from our traditions; 1
a reversal of our national policy, a r
menace to our peace and safety and c
a challenge to the spirit of Christianity'which
teaches us to influence oth- c
era by example rather than by excit- *
ing fear," is Mr. Bryan's view of the 1
national defense plans. v
The former secretary of state's state- p
ment, which reiterates views he has
previously expressed on the subject '
of preparedness for war, was regarded '
is the opening gun In the fight which 13
administration leaders expect in con- 8
arress against adoption of the plan. Mr.
Bryan's statement says:
"I have read the president's speech at
New York with sorrow and con- ii
cern. He is doing what he believes u
to be his duty and so long as a man i
follows his conscience and Judgment e
sve cannot criticise his motives, but v
we may be compelled to dissent from v
lis conclusions. I feel it my duty to i
llssent, and. as he has given his views s
with clearness' and emphasis those who r
lifter from him are under a like obli- t
nation to express themselves with tl
;qual clearness.
"He says that his position is differ?nt
from that of the private individual "
in that the Individual is free to speak n
lis own thoughts and risk his own I
opinion. This sentence is a little ob- n
jcure. In so far as he expresses his ^
iwn opinion, he does not differ from a
the nrlvate citizen pxcent that he C
speaks under a sense of official re- 8
iponslblllty, but where a nation's fate p
s Involved in a policy every private b
iltlzen who loves his country and tries a
to serve It Is conscious of responsl- ?
t)lllty. The president will not assume ^
that he is more deeply interested in
the welfare of his country than the c
millions who elected him to be for the c
time being: their spokesman. And if. r
is he evidently believes, he is giving ii
rolce to the opinions of his country- ^
men, he is, of course, anxious to have t|
them as frank with him as he has been 1
with them?how otherwise can he b
know whether he represents or misrepresents
their views? n
"He has announced a policy which v
has never before been adopted in this ?
lountry and never endorsed by any tj
party in the country and he has no s
way of knowing, until he hears from b
the people, whether he has correctly f
nterrupted the will of the public. His
ippeal is not to any party, but as he
lays, to men of 'all shades of opin- ^
on.' He asks for the hearty support C
jf the country, meaning, of course,
:hat he wants the support, provided c
:he people favor the policy which he ?
ias outlined. He could not, of course, 8
isk them to support a policy which t(
:hey did not endorse, especially if ^
hey considered the policy dangerous to f
:he country. J h
"From my view of the subject, the 1
plan which he proposes Is not only a *
leparture from our traditions but a t
-eversal of our national policy. It is c
lot only a menace to our peace and 11
jafety, but a challenge to the spirit ,,
pf Christianity which teaches us to E
influence others by example rather p
than by exciting fear. P
"The president says that we should ^
pe prepared 'not for aggression but tl
for defense.' That is the ground up- w
>n which all preparation for war is 8;
nade. What nation has ever prepared 0
for war on the theory that it was pre- tl
paring for aggression? It is only fair a
to assume that the European rulers a
who are Involved in the present war 0t
thought that they were contributing F
toward the maintenance of peace when 8
they were making elaborate preparations
for defense. It is a false philosophy,
and being false, it inevitably lea '
nto difficulties. The spirit that makes ^
the individual carry a revolver?and
whoever carries a revolver except for a
Si
lefense??leads him not only to use it
>n slight provocation but to use lan- u
ruage which provokes trouble, 'Speak 1
softly but carry a big stick' is one of
the delusive maxims by those who put h
their faith In force. There are two p
inswers to it?first, the man who ''
speaks softly has not the disposition c
to carry a club and if a man with a n
soft voice is persuaded to carry a club ^
lis voice changes soon as he begins
to rely upon the club. n
"If there is any truth in our re- ?
igion, a nation must win respect as an
ndividual does, not by carrying arms,
Put by an upright, honorable course n
that invites confidence and insures tl
?ood will. This nation has won its II
position in the world without resorting "
:o the habit of toting a pistol or carrying
a club. Why reverse our policy d
it this time? The president himself
idmlts that there is no reason for
change. He says:
" 'The country is not threatened >
'rom any quarter: she stands in
'riendly relation with all the world.
Fler resources and her self-respect and
capacity to care for her own citizens
tnd rights are well known.' And to
nake the statement more emphatic he a
idds: 'There is no fear among us.' e
"If we were not threatened by any 11
lation, if our relations with all nations i(
ire friendly, if everybody knows that
we're able to defend ourselves if necessary
and if there is no fear among (1
is, why is this time chosen to revolu- ll
ionize our national theories and to exchange
our policy for the policy of 01
Europe? Why abandon the hope that S(
ve have so long entertained of setting a
in example to Europe? Why encourage P
he nations of Kurope in tneir rami
'oily by imitatinp them? Why impose w
lpon the western hemisphere a policy
to disastrous? May we not expert all 84
Lrfitin-America to be stimulated to pre- s<
laratlon if we enter upon a new era b;
>f preparation? And will not such a
>olicy make conflicts between these if
epublics more probable? Is
"We shall do infinite harm to the a!
leighborins: nations as well as to our- ly
lelves if we are drawn into this policy ir
vhich provokes war by a preparation T
which is impossible without a large
Increase in taxation and the arousing
of a military system which sets up
false standards of honor. We are now
spending more than $250,000,000 a
year on preparedness?ten times as
much as we are spending on agriculture?and
I feel sure that the tax pay?rs
are not in favor of increasing this
jum at this time when a change is not
inly unnecessary but a menace to our
national ideals.
"There has not been a time in 50
wears when there was less reason to
idd to the expense of the army and
lavy, for we are not only without an
?nemy but. our preparedness is inreasing
relatively as other nations
>xhaust themselves. And there never
vas a time and there never has been a
Ime In our whole history when our duy
to the world more Imperatively denanded
self-restraint and the counse's
>f peace.
"I hope the president will not be derived
by the atmosphere of the Manlattan
club. That Is the one pi ce In
he United States where the mammon worshipping
portion of the Democratic
>arty meets to exchange compliments
?there is no group farther removed
rom the sentiment of the masses
whether you measure that sentiment

tandards."
Champion Corn Grower of the World.
-The effect that the Panama-Pacific
iternatlonal exposition will have on
niversal development and progress Is
llustrated in the great Influence exertd
in the agricultural world by the
rarious agricultural competitions
which have spurred farmers from all
>arts of the globe to obtain highest reults
In quantity and quality to earn
ecognition not only from the oxposllon
July of awards, but also from
hose of their fellow agriculturists.
The corn crop is ono of the most
mportant features in the world's anual
programme of resources. Its sucess
or failure has always had a
narked effect on the financial market
lence greater fields brought about by
nore careful study and concentration
n the part of the grower, a condition
rought about by competitions for
wards and resolving itself into better
rops, may be said to be the direct reult
of the work in the agricultural deartment
of the exposition.
Thousands of visitors interested in
etter farming, now that their crops
.re harvested, are thronging to the
xpositlon, where they find the whole
rorld of agriculture spread before
nem.
An award was given to the grand
hampion corn grower of each state
xhibiting. From all over the country
ompetitors came wltn the result that
iew records were established, thereby
ncreaslng the potentiality of the soil,
["o Zaharlah J. Drake of Bennettsrille,
S. C., and Cecil Adams of Eclec1c,
Alabama, went the highest honor,
'hey were successful In raising 239
ushels of high grade corn to the acre.
The awards were made by the ofcials
of the exposition on the recoralendation
of the Universal Corn conention,
and were forwarded in the way
f a gold medal to the winners by
Resident C. C. Moore of the exposlion,
through the governors of the
tates, each medal being accompanied
y a personal letter of congratulation
rom President Moore.
Blease Talks to Red Men.?Cole L.
ilease, former governor of South
'arolina, addressed several hundred
elegates attending the sixth district
onvention and others here last night
n the subject of "Redmanship." He
tuck rather too close to his subject
> suit many in the audience who went ]
irith the expectation of hearing some
f his alleged characteristic straight- !
rom-the-shoulder talk. On the other
land the address applied strongly to
he Red Men, it being a clear exposl- .
ion of the principles of the order. The ,
peaker only once referred to his poll- .
ical career and that was when he delared
that the happiest times in his 1
fe were when he, as chief executive ,
f South Carolina, signed papers givig
liberty to more than 1,700 men.
[e also asserted that not one of these 1
aroled men had been sent back to i
rison though nine months' time has ,
lapsed since he went out of office. In
liscussing Redmanship he declared '
lat the badges of the order were 1
orn only by members of the Caucau- <
ian race, something that could not be
aid about many of the other fraternal '
rganizatlons. Mr. Blease spoke lees '
fian half an hour, but was given an i
ttentlve hearing and was enthusi- ]
stically received. Other speakers last ^
yenlng were Great Sachem Henderson

ilexander Ricnard Hoizscneiter stooa
ehlnd the bar of the Green Tree cab- 1
ret, the most notorious sporting reort
in New Orleans, and smilingly or
nsmilingly exchanged his bottle goods
or coins. Today the police found the
oors and windows boarded up. They ,
ecame alarmed and broke open the
lace. Every bottle in the saloon lay
o a heap on the floor, the contents
arefully drained off. Checked on the
lirror were these words, done in the
and of Holzschelter:
"It takes a mother twenty years to
lake a man of her son. It takes an- ^
ther woman 20 minutes to make a
doI of him.
"No longer will I remain in asso- ,
iation with thieves, disreputable wolen
and men; still worse, live upon 1
heir earnings. I lose all, but I will i
ive among clean people and make my |
ving honestly."
Another sign read:
"I've reformed. I want to lead a
ecent life." 1
The police found Holzschelter's
ome boarded up also and its contents f
emoved. There was no trace of Holschelter,
his wife or three children.? <

Cotton Seed Oil Ice Cream.?Strange
hings are happening these days. 1
Ihemlstry is developing such hereto- (
ire unheard of products that one is in '
continual state of surprise. The lat- *
st food product to be sprung onto an *
nsuspecting public is cotton seed oil 1
t
re cream.
Think of it!
Even the greatest of American
elicacies has at last come to pay its
ibute to King Cotton.
It is claimed by food authorities that
otton seed oil ice cream has been
?cretly on the market for three years,
nd so popular has it become that it
romises to be made and sold openly.
The oil is so scientifically blended
ith the milk that a delicious cream
f exceptional quality and flavor is
lid to result. The oil is so wholermc
and nutritious that it is declared
y many to not come under the head
r an adulterant in connection with
e cream. When properly refined, it
claimed to be an aid to digestion;
Ithough the pure food law will quick- s
' Interfere with any extensive sell- j
ig of it as a genuine milk cream.?

Gastonia Gazette, Nov. 5: With the
opening of a "moonlight school" at
(he Modena mill in Gastonia Monday
night under the auspices of the Modena
Woman's Betterment association,
the campaign for the eradication of
illiteracy in Gaston was commenced.
The formal launching of the campaign
will not take place, however, until
Monday, November 15, when quite a
nnmher nf thvu bphnnla will Ka thrown
open to all those who are willing to
emerge from their condition of ignorance.
That event will be preceded by
a big educational rally to be held in

plans will be made for this work and
when all who are willing to lend their
assistance will be given an opportunity
to volunteer Mr. L. A. States is

Postal receipts at the Gastonia postoffice
for the month of October, 1916,
were 3364.07 in excess of the receipts
for the corresponding month last year.
This is a splendid showing for the local
office. It is perhaps the largest
increase ever shown in any one month.
Between 1,000 and 1,200 people
attended the annual floral fair held
Wednesday night and yesterday in the
Long building, under the auspices of
the Gastonia Woman's Betterment association.
The exact number cannot
be given. The admission receipts at
the door amounted to $82. Adults were
charged 10 cents, school children 6
cents and those under five years were
admitted free. It is estimated by
those in charge of the door that at
least 1,100 were admitted and they
admit the possibility that the number
might have reached 1,200. This Is considerably
larger than any previous attendance,
notwithstanding the fact
that the fair was shorter by one day
this year than it has been heretofore.
Visitors were in attendance from
Asheville, Charlotte, Concord, Monroe,
Shelby, Torkville, Clover, Mt Holly,
Cherryville, Bessemer City, Lowell,
