CHILDREN SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH Two Sides to the Problem Which Is a Giave Ore?Parents Should Give Their Children Correct Knowledge.' I lev. (Jeorge I!. Thompson in Wuxhaw Enterprise. The sex problem! Immediately \vc j ;ue inclined to dwell upon the degrading, abnormal, destructive side of the <iues1it>n, as though this were the whole of it. The great social vices i and diseases that have blighted civilization throughout human history arc indeed important things. They arc fearful to contemplate and form a Inor.t serious and menacing problem. They are not, however, the real problem which the human student of sex must keep before him, any more than crime and the treatment of criminals is the real problem of progressive civilization. Disease is not the chief problem of life. Sound, wholesome living and growth arc the real problems. ' There are two sides to the sex problem. Keep them before the mind and all prudery will disappear. One side deals with the deep, fundamental, natural. positive, stimulating, upbuilding rule of sex in human life. The other deals with the abnormal and destructive and dangerous perversions that are such a blot to our human history. The law of Cod, the laws of man. ;he customs and conventionalities of society, the physical, psychical, ami moral natures of men are all in favor of supporting the fact of sex when it is rightly understood. When man permits the animal in him to dominate he perpetuates the practices which pervert the fact of sex. "Sex and all that it implies is a perfectly natural, normal fact of life, with nothing unholy or perverse about it. A study of the subject would show us that sex is responsible for certain great principles of growth and development in all organism, from the lowest ti the highest. The differences between men and women?in body, in mind, in disposition, in temperament? arc not just mysterious, created differenew; but arc the direct result of the development o! the sex nature in ti e individual. If wc did not have the fact of sex such words as manliness, womanliness, love, courtship, parental : care, filial devotion, brotherhood.

While v.o may ridicule these restiaining influences, it remains a fact that the law of God and the do- ' niands of society Which made their or- j igin necessary, have not been repealed.' When our boys observe those conventionalities and applaud the girl who holds to them, no father or moth* r need fear to trust their daughters to those of the opposite sex. Hut why I place all the responsibility upon the { shoulders of the boys? In the name of till that is called common sense why do we wait till it is too late to warn the ignorant or restrain the vicious? In the matter of se^ this Is tiie rule.

Vor more than six years Julian Martin, an aged negro I'uilman car porter, j has been bandied about by bandits, t j revolutionists and presidents in Mexico. For two years and rix months he was held prisoner by Francisco Villa, the erstwhile freebooter of northern Mexico. During that period Martin was chef to Villa on the hitter's private car ahd lie perhaps, had .a more intimate knowledge of the man thai, anyone who was ever in his service, ] whether military or menial. 1 in ii neutral in Mexican politicil and; revolutionary affairs. He is s'. ili chci j in the private car ;.viiieh Villa occupied s long, but this famous pice < of railway rolling stock is now ured by I'rcsi>l< lit Alvaro Obrcgj'.i up a !:i* travels over llo- i-e ntry f ?i?i tim to time. j Vi'la captured Martin from ObrtgOn in the buttle of Coiaya, and Obregon got bis negro cook back from Villa in th'c battle of Juarez. * It was a critical moment in the tempestuous iifc of Martin when Villa, seeing that he would have to abandon bis private car at Juirez in order to evade capture by the opposing forces, rent for the negro to appear before him. "I didn't k.iow whether I was going to lie shot or not," Ma'tin said, as he told flic story of his life while passing j through Monterey, Mexico, the other; day on the historic private ear. "Villa i was getting ready to (lee from Juarez and he came into the ear and s' id he | was going to place nv on trial for he. i ing a (k'.rranzist i.

HISTORIC INCIDENT UNDER REVIEW Billy Patterson Was a Very Real Per} conagc, of Considerable Importance "in the World; But Who Struck Him' Remains Unknown. By Larry Gantt. One of the o'dest and host known unanswered conundrums'in America is j "Who Struck Hilly Patterson*.'" The recent death <>!' Charles Jerome | Honaparte, of Baltimore,. Md., and who was Attorney General under j President Roosevelt, has brought t>> my memory a fact that is not generally known. Billy Patterson, the man who gave thin inquiry t<> the world, was grandfather or great-grandfather of this same Bonaparte, and his wi.l containing that clause is on file in the Historic om i*>wii 01 vhituhvu , Franklin county, Georgia, and I have inspected the document, Billy Patterson was the father of the beautiful Petty Patterson, tli wealthy daughter of ,a Philadelphia capitalist, who married Jerome Bonaparte, a brother of Napoleon, and who at the time was sojourning in the United States and leading an id'e and vagrant life. At tile tim- of his marriage *to th? American^girl liis brother, while exercising great power in France and winning victories under the Directorate, had not achieved the eminence and fame he afterwards won. Bil'y Patterson, father of Mrs. Jerome Dona parte, was not Only a wealthy man for those times, but Ik had acquired largo bodies of land in the' South. Among his possessions was a tract of wild or thii ly settled land in what is row the counties oi Franklin, Hart am upper Elbert, In the state of Georgia. It was while raid Billy Patterson was visiting that seclion, to inspect his real estate holdings, that lie chanced to at.ti nd a public gathering of the saU'crs in what is now Franklin county. The meetirig was around a still-hous near a spring ami tiic entire cowd got blind drunk, and which ended, as sueh carousals too often did in those days in a general tight.

The will was discovered some .years ago by a prowler among the i old recordb in the courthouse. Franklin county is the native land of Ty Cobb, the world-famous base ball ' player, who was born in the town of Uoyston, on the Elbcrton and Toccoa Bail way. The father of Ty Cobb came to that county as a book agent from f North Carolina, but made such a favorable impression on the peop'e that he permanently located there and >Vas afterwards elected to the state senate and as county suprintendent of education. He found a beautiful, but psor and illi.crctc young country girl, sent her to .school, where she was well educated an 1 hg afterwards married ' In r.

It frocruently happens that such an outbreak is threatened in a distant part of the state from Columbia, and I have nevor known hut one instance where the, governor left his office to go to the scene of trouble. "As soon as , I was informed that there was probable danger from an act of violence and that a mob was forming in Columbia, I communicat'ed with Sheriff Heise and directed him to use his entire police force and I would give ! iiim additional men if nccpssarv. and that every' person found in his county ' who was -participating, or threatening to participate, in any.act of violence, j or who was going armed, making ! demonstrations to the terror of the | peace of the community, should be arrested and committed to Jail. I am as- % sured by Sheriff Heise that he has | 'oeen vigilant and has been unable to discover any threatened act of violence. , He assures me that persons who were ' supposed to have gone to Augusta, I Ga., and entered the Jail there left | the city of Columbia quietly, and when , he was informed of their departure, he notified the sheriff of Augusta, Ga. I , was unable to get in direct communi- t | cation with Sheriff Roof of Lexington, ! but I have bad a conference with him 1 today and he assures me that he has j b;qn vigilant and active in the disI charge of his duty. I did get a message ; to him similar to the one given Sheriff .Heise. "It is rather significant that in almost every instance where I had ocI casion to uso the telephone or telegraph, information as to the contents ! of my conversation cr message in some I mysterious way found its way to persons on the streets and to members, or sympathizers, of the would be lynchers. .
