W.*'- .. ^ ~ . i, Jjuworoas department. The Touch of Genius.?In Scotland there is told a story of one Sandy Mcintosh, who started to build a small outhouse of brick. After the usual plan of bricklayers he worked from the inside, and, as he had the material close beside him, the walls were rising fast when noon arrived, and with it his eon, John, who brought his father's dinner. With honest pride In his eye, Sandy looked at John over the wall on which be was engaged, and asked: . . ''How do you. thluk I ana gettin' onf* : "Fine, father; but how due ye get pot? Yop've forgpt the door." One glaji^e. around.him. showed Sandy that son wt\? ,right.;. but, looking at him kindly, he said: > "C^h, But ye'vo got a grand held, on ye, John! Ye'll~be an architect yet, as sure's yer feyther's a builder." Carefully Classified.?It is usually the Ignorant or confused frequenters of $ library who are responsible for amusing mistakes, but occasionally an overha^tghty guardian of literature glVes occasion for a quiet smile to those she set-res. , ?A school teacher In a Western town, 1 wishing to extend her rather scant} knowledge of the stories of Edgar Al- \ len Ppo, inquired at the delivery desk of the rural library' for "The Gold Bug," adding, "I can't seem to find It in the catalogue, but I am sure you 1 have it. A friend of mine had It out 1 1 tl . ' 1UJIL WCCIV. The librarian glanced at 1 the card- ' catalogue drawer over which the ' toacher had been poring, and smiled , with 'S, superior smile. "No wonder, Miss Smith," sh6 explained with patient gentleness. "You aW lotoking under "Fiction.' Turn to i 'Entomology' and -yon won't have hny 1 trouble." ( ,, \ i ? Right On the Jpb.?A Virginia gen- < tleman was troubled by a disobedient ' and laxy coachman, who had been in the family a long time and was well 1 out of reach of discipline. H:e diso- ( beyed orders and neglected bis duties ! and made himself a general nuisance ' "until- in desperation his employer decided to threaten him with dismissal. 1 . "I can't put up with you any longer," 1 he said. "At the end of tho month ' you ouni anoiner piac?. " 'Nuther place, nothln'," was the 1 reply.

A stranger by the name, of Wilkcrson had come there 1 and ift up shop and, although he Bcemed a good business man, his neighbors viewed him,with a certain amount of disgust. , , . *That man, Wilkcrson," dpcjared one, "ought to be .expelled, .'rom our i chamber of commerce and ostracized besides. He's too darned radical." ."In what Way?" queried a second.

The professor was taking his wife through the museum of natural history and she, although bored almost to tears, was heroically trying to appear Interested. They halted before the reconstructed imagfc of the dinosaur. "Do you realise, Agatha," he asked, "that it is eight years since our last visit?"

These two historic island points, th old and amazingly rich Sea Side road, thin costly Fremont fort whose metals ; are now being dismantled, this old I tabby church, and this ancient Indian | mound are all worthy places for visit and study. A Violent Contrast. A contrast more violent than that ; between sandstone mausoleum and In- j diap earthern mound* is the contrast ; between the peoples of those days and those that we find on the island today. When the Civil war came Beaufort land was occupied by the Northern army, and these rich sea hsland cotton plantation owners all left. They never crone back, for their lands were confiscated. Rich Northerners now mostly own these sea side homes, farming, in a way, through overseers aqd coming out every winter on hunting vacations. Let me say that the climate at this end of the island is a most salubrious and fine one all the year. All of the island, save this fringe on the sound^ is today taken up by the Gullah negro, about 6,009 of them. Amazing to say, there are on the island at least 1,000 negro homes, each surrounded by ten or fifteen acres of land, and unusually amazing is the tenacity with which these negroes cling to their homes. Indeed $500 per acre would not induce most of them to sell. In the whole of Beaufort county the Gullah negro does not* live on the white man's farm, but in these ljttle homes. They work most or tne year on truck lands or in the oyster canneries and plant their farms somewhat as a side issue. Here and there we find a little marsh horse, but the universal animal for dragging a plow or a wagon is the ox. You see these little ox teams everywhere on- the island. The negro does not mind the slowness of the ox, for slowness suits the negro. Moreover and above all, the ox always finds his own feed, while food, on the other hand, must be made and kept or it must be bought for the horse. On these negro farms you will find corn, velvet beans, cowpcas, peanuts, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and bennc?the latter being shipped to Savannah to the candy men. The Oyster Canneries. The three big oyster canneries on the island employ each 150 to 175 hands, and, working seven months in the yca? are a great help to these negroes. The payroll runs for each cannery $800 to SI.000 weeklv. The wecklv out nut of each cannery is something like 30,000 one-pound cans. Much of this is exported. Oysters arc of two types, the single shell, which is the l>ig oyster, and the smaller bunch' oyster?there may be six or seven shells oftentimes clinging here together. Oysters aro not gathered by tongs, but are gathered by low tide direct from the beds. The oyster boatmen bring them to the wharf. The oysters are steamed and quickly shucked and washed and canned and their liquor is put in. The can is sealed quickly by machinery and is then cooked and labeled. The oyster shell piles about these canneries are immense things, being thirty feet high and holding from 2,000,000 to 2,500.000 bushels earh. Twenty-five per cent of the empty shells go back to the spawning grounds for the little oysters to grow on. Some are ground up for chicken food and for the liming of land, hut mostly they go to the making of these fine roads known ns oyster shell roads. But let us remora rer and writer, now Ir\ this country mpulsnry marriage for America's glgg them health and happiness, 5 ' ber that it is the Gullah negro on this island that makes possible this really big oyster canning industry. ? The first government bond issue since the war has been announced by the treasury. Secretary Mellon offers for subscription an issue of about jr>00,000,000 of 4 1-4 per cent., 30 year treasury bonds as part of the program for refunding the short dated debt.

The bonds will mature October 15, 1952, but may be redeemed at the option of the United States after October 15, 1947. The last previous bond issue offered by the treasury was the fourth Liberty loan in October, 1918. It carried Interest at 4 1-4 per cent., fo mature in 20 years and amounted to nearly $7,000,000.

The ocfhslon was the fourth annual gathering of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Army Ordnance association. About 800 persons were present, including several officers high in the army. Phosphorous tracer bullets, fired through an airplane propeller over the proving grounds, showed how an airman can correct hls: aim in war. To illustrate the difference between instantaneous and delay action fuses, two 600 pound bombs, were dropped fl-om airplanes into the water from a height of 4,000 feet.

A nationwide appeal for funds for the relief of the thousands of refugees In the Near Bast has been authorized by President Harding. The money will bo distributed through the American Red Cross and the Near East relief, working jointly, and will be raised by a special committee, headed by former Postmaster General Hays. This'statement was issued by the president. "A recognized and most appealing emergency exists in the Near East. After full conference it is unanimously l-i o Amnripnn Rpd Cross and the Near East Relief, two govern- j mentally recognized agencies, are the logical instrumentalities through which this relief may be extended and it is a manifest duty that they should take charge of the situation jointly. In a campaign of most cooperation they will command the facilities for most efficient ministration. In order to meet the situation there is created a special fund to be known as "Near East emergency fund.' This special fund is to be raised by a nationwide appeal which appeal is indorsed and will be engaged in by the American Red Cross, the Near East relief, the Young Men's Christian association, Y'oung Women's Christian association, the Federal Council of Churches, the Knights of Columbus, the American relief administration, the Jewish joint distribution committee and o'her organizations having interests in the Near East.

The Rev. W. P. Step, Baptist i\rnn/>Vioi> fpnm whom nfflrprs conflscat t-d a quart of moonshine whisky as he was returning from a country church where he had preached a powerful sermon, told Sheriff Rector of Greenville, Saturday, that he was carrying the whisky homo to his sick wife. Although Sheriff Rector stated that he did not think prosecution would be instituted against the preacher in the state courts, the Federal authorities have announced no intention of abandoning the charges. A preliminary hearing probably will be given the Rev. Mr. Step this week. He arranged surety bonds Saturday before United States Commissioner Williams on charges of transporting and having whisky in his possession. Two petitions to United States Judge H. H. Watkins of the Western district of South Carolina, were drawn up Friday by the people of Tigcrville signed by more than 40 of the best citizens of that community. The petition requested that the case be fully explained to the Feilernl judfje before Mr. u'n? nrnseeiiterl. Sheriff Rector stated Saturday that in his opinion the | case against the Rev. M. Step would not come to trial, even if there is an indictment. "I have known this man for a number of years," said the sheriff. "and I know him to be an upright, law-abiding citizen, and a devout minister of the Gospel. He told me that his wife was ill, and as they live a long way from a physician his wife asked him to get her a little whisky to mix with seme herbs and make some medicine. Some good friend gave him the quart of whisky," he said. Sheriff Rector said State Constable J. If. Howard overstepped his authority When he stopped and searched the minister without a warrant. ?
