It leaves tho nuts In just as good shape as thoae picked off by hapd and enables the peanut planter to control the harvesting of *hlB crop, an a large crop can soon JOT harvest ed with few hands and at less than one-fourth the coat of picking the nutH off by hand. Tho peanut growers have- been ?troubled somewhat to get their' crop picked off by hand at the prop er time, and the peanut machine, which picka and cleans 250 bushels a day in good shape, in fully as good shape as hand picked nuts, 1b a great blessing to the growers, and the effort of Bueh a machine will be to increase tho acreage de voted to growing ihe nuts. The peanut is one of the many crops In wihich the South has a de cided monopoly. Now that it can be planted, cultivated, dug and threshed out by machinery, making a machine crop of it instead of a han?K crop, we may expect to see the crop increase in acreage, value and importance year bjr year. The Virginia crop in round num bers is supposed to be worth nearly $3,000,000. It is generally gtown on land almost too light for most of the staple farm cropB unless such land Is well manured or fertilized. Experiments made at the Virginia Truck Experimental Station, how ever, go to show that it pays to ro tate the peanut crop with other staple farm crops and to give the soil- more humus than It gets in cultivating or ' growing - the- peanut, crop. Now that the crop is planted by machinery, cultivated by machinery, dug by machinery and picked off the vines by machinery It is then but /airly started on its industrial journey, as It must be taken in hand by the peanut cleaning es tal/lishments arid cleaned, assarted, polished and brushed; that portion that goes to the general trade de livered to the natives of Sunny It aly for general distribution and another large portion passed thru half a hundred other manipulations until it appears as peanut oil, but ter or in 25 or more different forms of peanut candy or concoctions, Very Haiti .lob to Fill. Editing a newspaper in some re spects is a good deal like preaching. The gospel truth must be presented in the form of generalities or some fellow will get hit and howl-, says a recent writer. Few persons like truth, even in homeopathic doses, if It hits them. But while preachers and editors are criticised for what they do say, no one thinks of giving the credit, for what they do not say. Yet what they keep to them selves constitute the major portion of what they know about people. Very many people harbor the be lief .that newspapers are eager to publish derogatory things. It's a mistake. There isn't a newspaoer that could not spring a sensation in the community ait any time by merely telling what it knows. There is not a newspaper that does pot keep under the lock of secrecy SQOret of derogatory things which. never meet the public eye or reach the public ear. Deciding what no* to print is the most troublesome part j of newspaper work. How many good stories are sup pressed for Innocent relatives .and for the public good nobody outside a newspaper office has any idea of. In some instances he who flies into ! passion because a newspaper prints something about him which he con siders uncomplimentary has every reason to feel profoundly grateful to the newspaper for publishing so little of what it knows of him. And oft-times the loudest bluffer is the most vulnerable t oattack. A big nolpe is often a device em ployed to cover trepidation. News papers put up with more bluffing than any other agency WOUId 6tt dure. It Is not beca.use they lack courage; it Is because they are un willing to use their power to de stroy or ruin unless the interests of society Imperatively demand it. It might be well for some' people to reflect upon these truths and In .silent gratitude accept the admonlr tlon lest wors* befall them. ? Orangeburg Time* and Democrat. thk roui/riw hjhow. i - ? ^ ?

There was a meeting ot.hoth bran ches of the Auxiliary of Grace lOpis copal chur<'? on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 22nd, at the resi dence of Mrs. Bruce Davis. It was the annual meeting of these societies, when tho mite chests are opened, the contents of which are intended for foreign mtSBlOtiB; These funds are forwarded to tho annual State convention, evory third year, thoy are forwarded to the General Convention, and are divided among our foreign mission fields. The first organization of this women's branch of church work, -to supplement the $100,000 sent annually by one church, to for eign fields, was twonty-one, years ago, when the sum. of $85). 00 was forwarded to the General Conven tion by the Women's Auxiliary, and tho work has grown and extend ed until tho last contribution amoun ted to $243,000. The sum of $31.00 was collocted at tho meeting on tho 22nd, and about forty mombers and visitors were present. After prayer and the singing of appropriate hymns, entertaining papers were read by Mrs. Davis and Miss Leila Shannon; apropos of tho ? occasion, and after the benediction was an nounced by Rev. Mr. Harding, tea and other refreshments were served. It was a most delightful mooting, and should serve to increase' tho interest in this valuable work of the church. "Human Hearts." ' - v."- ? I So strong an impression did "Hu man Hearts" make upon a promi nent clergyman in Now York, that he wrote to the gentleman imper sonating "Tom Logan," vigorously endorsing the play and informing him of his intention of trotting all the orphans of a local asylum out to soo it at his own expense! And he did it. "You cannot conceive" said Man ager Reno "of the appreciation of those youngsters at the change of the1 sermon thus afforded them unless you had listened to the gal ! lory the . day they attended." "With the 'Gods' present," he continued, "as often as I have myself enjoyed sitting -through it, it was as enjoy able as a box of monkeys sprinkled over with tears." "Quite often since, have city schools, whose prin cipals were aware of the good mer it in the play, lieen given half a holiday, that the youngsters might enjoy a matinee. And what out spoken critics the tots have been. You can't get a favorable criticism or a padded eulogy for love or money from a juvenile. You must give him the goods, or ho denounc es you broadcnst, and I am really grateful to tho tots of America for their appreciation of what all now agree to be one of the best Amer ican plays." v "Human Hearts" comes to the Opera House, Monday night, Feb. 3rd.
