Makes you 'I'hinK ui (rackling-Hread,
Pumpkins and I'lMtnum Meat.
(By li. K. Pollard in Carolina Citiscun)
"When the front is on the pumpkin,
And tho corn is in the shock"
These two lines of the much ad*
mired poem, which I first* read a Ion#
time ago, have impressed me
much for the past ten days. The
light. frosts, the golden ears of corn,
the hogs that are being fed freely, in
order to put them in the fine kilter for
Christmas slaughter, the great piles
of wood in our backyards, the lowing
of tho cows at eventide, the increased
crowing 6f the rooster*, the Hnening
of the persimmon and the black haw,
the increasing songs of the cricket In
the fields while we gather the crops,
the coming south of the migratory
lark and robin, the hushed voices of
the croaking frog, the shrill, harsh
voice of the crow and rabbit hawk,
the nestling close at night of our
partridges, the nerve-trying screech
of the little screech owl, the falling of
the brown leaves from the forest
trees ,the parting of the hickory nut
from the beautiful cradle in which it
had been rocked all summer, the
stately golden-rod, as it loses its
beauty and soldierly dignified bearing
among the humble wild flowers, the
brown grasses, the marked trees, all
tell us that the harvest is past, the
summer is ended and we are entering
upon a new , phase of life.
Oh!~1VftW~"swet4t it 1S to recall the
past summer with all its lusciuus
fruits and melons outdoor sports and
short, thin clothes, fish fries and pic
nics, joy rides and campmeeting-i.
But it would never do to have endless
summer, for our muscles would be
i come flabby and our skin would be
I come dark, and we would become pre
! main rely old. Lei us look at the
| peoples on the islands of the south,
where the girls reach mature age. at
ten and eleven years, and are old, ugly
faded grandmothers at 30. ,
The chilling winter winds, the icy
breath of snow, the Jack frost of
night, crackling-bread and sweet milk,
pumpkin pie and 'possum meat, yellow
yams and liver mush, backbones and
spareribs, hot sausage and chow-chow
?yes, my friends, the seasons are di
vided up just right.
I glory in the summer time, but, the
long nights of winter afford us great
er opportunity to read and stove up
practical information, and we can eat
heavy meat dinners and visit all
round among our neighbors, and tell
hob goblin stories to the children and
watch them grow nervous, and if the
very 'fat, short necked man has been
I sleeping all alone on the north piaza
! floor, or out in the sleeping porch, he
i can come back in the house where all
married men ought to be at night, and
try sleeping indoors for a few weeks
j in mid-winter, for I really believe :f
i a man wishes to get well acquainted
; with his wife and is anxious to keep
ponce in the family, and is opposed to
divorce law, that there is no better
thin*: he can do than to tear up that
| confounded old sleeping porch out in
the piaza and come hack home again.
, And again, these old run-around hus
bands that complain of "high blood
pressure." if you will try the plan that
1 i ha\ e suggested 1 assure you that
.you will soon be rid of that "high
; blood pressure." "So mote it be."
Now when "the frost is on the
{pumpkin, and the coin is in the
: shock," man i- supposed to brighten
i up and be cheerful for at that season
! of the year we are laying h\ in store
1 our winter supply of fcedstutTs for

SMUGGLING.
Creat Problem With Which Uncle
Sam Ik Having To Deal. I
The problem ot smuggling as it
confronts the Federal government is
larger than the problem of prohibi
tion. The country will be made aware
of this as Secretary Mellon proceeds
with the plan outlined recently to
strengthen and enlarge the coast
guard service and stiffen the resist
ance which we present normally to
smuggling on the Canadian border,
says the Philadelphia Evening Led
ger. An ancient industry has been
revived since the dry. laws went into
effect artd it has been returning tre
mendous profits to those who reorgan
ized it.
Whiskey is only one of the special
ties of the modern smuggler. In some
areas it is a side line. Drugs, dia
monds, furs and jewelry figure largely
;n the smuggler's trade. And one of
the most serious aspects of thy> busi
ness is the activity of the "runners"
who aid unwarranted immigrants to
get into the country without passing
through the usual formalities.
Men who entered the smuggling
business by way of the whiskey trade
have grown rich by transporting
Chinese coolies from Cuba and the
neighboring regions to the United
States at a rate which aveages'$lOO
a man. They are supposed to operate
with the help of syndicates in this
country. ,
There was comparatively little
smuggling before the Volstead law
was passed. Even practiced law
breakers were reluctant to risk col
lision with the Federal police system.:
But when it became apparent that
large profits were to be made through
the underground liquor trade, rtiany
people of an adventurous turn of
mind began to tost their wits against
those of the customs service and the
border police. Thus the ice was bro
ken. Whiskey smugglers from Cuba
and elsewhere began taking passen
gers aboard under agreements to de
posit them ashore with their cargoes.
The drug trade found new channels.
So far as the government is con
cerned, the most, serious phase of this
general .problem is presented on the
Atlantic seaboard. The Canadian gov
ernment is manifesting a disposition
to co-operate more earnestly with
Washington in restricting the activ
ity of smugglers on the border. Ulti
mately the flood of whiskey and other
contraband from Canada will be
checked, if it isn't stopped altogether.
But if you look at a map of the At
lantic coast you will see at once how
difficult it is to deal with smugglers
who ply between ships jit the three
mile limit and the shore. The coast,
with) its innumerable inlets, roves and
vast deserted .beaches, offers certain
and safe refuge t<> any skipper of a
lively craft.
Mr. Mellon will have to find means
strengthen the coast guard service.
He will have to have cutters and pa
trol boats more powerful than any
now assignable to the tevynue ser
vice. It is idle to talk of torpedo
boats in thl - c >pnoc* for m

"DAWK" 1IOKSK WINS.
in Meiuorium Defeat* Victor Against
Knuiish Horse.
Fatonia, Ky.. Nov. 3, -A Kentucky
bred and owned hor.se, with a Ken
tucky buy in the saddle, caused the
greatest surprise that has climaxed
a turf spectacle in years today, when
in Mipnoriam defeated Zev and his
greatest American rival., My Own, in
the ${}O,0OQ Latonia championship
'stakes before a crowd of 15,000 spec
tators, who braved a cold, drizzling
rain to witness the startling upse.
The victory of the handsome bay,
son of McGee Enchantress, owned by
Carl VV.eideman, millionaire horseman
of Newport, Ky., was convincing,
Sprinting into the stretch, In Memo
nam conquered Zev, the conqueror of
Papyrus and winner of the Kentucky
derby, raced him into submission and
Hashed across the wire by at least six
lengths. Hack of the flashing heels of
Zev, came Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson's My Own, trailing eight
lengths back. Rialto, the fourth start
er in the race, was distanced in the
stretch and pulled up without trying
to catch the Hying leaders.
The race at a gruelling test of one
and three-quarter miles, was run in 3
minutes and 4-5 seconds, 5 1-5 seconds
slower than the American record for
the- distance established by RocKmin
ister in the same race a year ago.
Ky strange coincidence. Jockey
Mack Garner, the pride of Kentucky's
knights of the saddle, who rode in
Mcmuiiam to victory today, holds the
distinction, oi* riding Rockminister
when that three year old established
the record.
Negroes Arrested For Speeding.
Two negroes, one giving his name*
as Henry Wilson, and the other as
Frank McDowell, hailing from Char
lotte. are in the city jail, Wilson on
the charge of speeding and reckless
driving; and McDowell for being
tirunk, and disorderly and transport
ing liquor. On Sunday morning Wilson
and two companions passed through
the town in an Essex car at the rate
of about sixty miles an hour and
Chief Mothershed phoned ahead to
Camden to have him arrested there.
But the car met with an accident be
low Westville and did not get'to Cam-1
den. Monday afternoon Chief Mother
shed saw the Essex car being towed
into town by a big Studebaker car, in
which, the two negroes were riding.
When the chief went to make the. ar
rest of Henry Wilson for speeding,
McDowell, who was. drunk, became
disorderly and had to be. locked up
also. A pint of liquor was found
stored in the top of the car.
Both negroes are still in the jail
and the two cars, bearing North Caro
lina number plates, are being held
pending disposition of their cases. ?
