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.

"All things are pleasing to him. A

but a protracted meeting follow'ed
by a big baptising, or a term of

"Whenever a negro tires of country

( 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

clothes of the white clerks of town,
and after wearing them himself every

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

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

Lide's pitching was a feature, he
striking out twenty men while Fletcher

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;

Creator who made the mountain |
made the pebble. Yes, and that1
same Creator who made me made a

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.

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.
