If your regular dealer cannot supply you, telephone Camden Wholesale Grocery Co. Wholesale Distributors Will Be Mistake A campaign has been launched by a negro organization to raise a million dollars with which war will bo waged on the "Jim Crow" laws. Negroes are tired of having to sit in separate coaches on railroad trains, patronize separate theatres and woiship in separate churches in the South. The wise negroes of the South will save their money. When it is recalled that the organization which is campaigning for a million doli&Ts to wipe out these alleged "last vestiges of slavery" 1b the same organization that maintains a staff of paid legal hirelings who are sent into every state in the union tov represent black brutes on trial for criminally assaultnig white women, very few of the type of negroes who enjoy- friendly relations with the white people will want to have anything to do with this "movement." Furthermore, sensible negroes will realize that the so-called leader of this organization, when he announces that the negroes are "determined" to show; the white folks, and that they are going jtp use "mass power" 'and "serve nbtidg ^lpon the country of the negro's determination to secure and maintain every fundamental right which every other American citizen has," is proceeding along dangerous lines that will result in trouble. The promotion of amicaible relations between the races cannot be had by such procedure, and it is folly for negroes to try it, This organization Whines its remorse over the fact that "the Federal government will use a navy to prevent a man from taking a drink but will not employ a deputy marshal to protect the negro's ballot." The government is probably exercising the sidnje discretion the United States supreme court did in a decision a short tmie ago in which the rights of white citizens to segregate negroes in certain localities' and prevent them from becoming undesirable homeowners, were 1 maintained by the judiciary. The pathetic part of the beginning of the million dollar movement was the fact that Clarence Datrow, agnostic of Chicago, was present and made a nice little speech. Darrow is not fit to associate with respectable negroes. He probably realizes that the negro organization will need lots of legal advice before it accomplishes what it wanta'aud was out drumming up trade, although some alleged white men of his perverted mentality might, like to sleep in the same hotels with negroes and sip wine in the same churches with jthem.?Anderson Independent. ii Notice To Enrollment Committee.

' ' * 8aid To Bo Worth Hia Weight In Gold Aa Inaoct Doatroyer (American Humane Society) Toada and- froga are often called the gardener's moat valuable helpers and they are encouraged to live in greenhouses as they are useful in destroying insects and vermin harmful to plant and vegetable life. As a destroyer of bugs the toad has no equal in the animal world. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that toads are worth $20 each per year to the farmers, for the number of noxious insects, bugs and worms which they destroy. Never harm a toad. He i? nearly worth his weight in gold. . Toads are helpleSs little creatures and cannot easily escape if chased; sometimes persons call it sport to hurt a creature that cannot hit back, but such persons are usually cowards at heart, as well as ignorant. Boys often hurt toads because they have never been taught anything about their habits and value. When warm spring days come you can watch the little toads in somd pond. Do not take them away nor touch them, but it will be interesting to see them- grow. At first you will see in the shallow water only long strings that look like tiny black beads floating in glass tubes. These are the toad'B eggs in a case of jelly to keep them from harm. In a few days the eggs will hatch?the black beads grow long and the little creatures ipside begin to wriggle; soon they will be out of their cases and ready, to swim. Then they become tadpoles. For awhile they stay under water all the time, eating the tiny plants that grow in the mud, and so keeping, the water sweet and clean., They do not seem to care at all for the world of sunshine and fresh air above them. But by the first of June they begin to grow restless. Once in .a while theyrush up to the surface of the pond and then dive down again as if they did not know what to do with themselves. The little toads are beginning to breathe with lungs and they need the fresh air above the water. Something still more wonderful is happening to them; their long tails are growing shorter and tiny fore-legs and hind-legs are beginning to grow. The head changes in shape and the color is lighter. J At last the time comes when the frog-tadpoles must say good-bye. The frogs will go on living in the wet mud by the water's edge, and they will be wretchedly unhappy if they cannot keep damp and cool. But the toadB must leave the cool water and the soft green plants to live on the rough, dry, dusty earth. The little toad is very brave about it, and he hops cheerfully away from his old home to' find a new one under some protecting stone or door-step. In a few days he may be a mile from the pond and ready to settle down. Early hv June the toad has lost his appetite for vegetable food and has grown skillful in catching the little flies, bugs and worms that come near him. In fact, he is so quick with that fine, thread-like tongue of his, that you will need to watch him carefully, to see how he does it. He is so particular about his.food that he will eat nothing Which he has not caught himself; but, fortunately for him, he can go without eating for a long time, or he would starve to death in winter. Being a sensible fellow, be curls himself away in a safe place where he will neither dry up nor freeze, and there he sleeps until springs comes again. The toads do not find it easy to live. They may be parched by the summer sun, of crushed under -ploughs and - tfhe feet of cattle, or aten' by - birds and snakes. The plucky little toad as he hops away, from bis old home, goes to face dangers and to do us a valuable service. Let us be as thoughtful and kind towards him as we can. There is no truth in the fancy that toads are poisohbuiToFtJiat warts are produced by handling them. Treat them kindly. They are entitled to our best care Tor their good works. / - : n . Why the Clerk Cussed ' Grocery Clerk:/'Here's your molasses, little man; now where is your money?" r Rny: "Please. sir, In the bottom of the jar." ? > Thieves?In 'Jail and Out. (From the Greenville News.) "This is a horrible record," says Judge Featherstone, noting that sixteen white people were convicted of housebreaking and larcepy in Greenwood last year, while only ten negroes were convicted of this "infamous offense." , __ Housebreaking and larceny were almost exclusively crimes of the negro race ?ntH recent years. It was. at unusual for a white man t^indolf U k was for a negro to engage in the more elegant forma of . thievery, such as swindling. iSuch a sudden and startling reversion of criminal indulgence can be explained on no other ground than as an expression of reversed social conditions?or, to be better understood, of the way people live. Wages for common labor have risen greatly in the past few years. Nearly all negroes work for wages. It is not near so difficult for most of them to earn their meat and bread as it used to be?and in fact, the complaint seems to be that many of them earn it so easily they find too much time for idleness. This elevation of their standard of living, or the ability to earn a living, has taken away much of the incentive for them to steal. While the negro has made this advance, the white man has gone on a spree of extravagance. He has acquired tastes which he cannot support. He has -bought luxuries on the strength of continual employment and good health. He has ^mortgaged his future without discounting the certainty of sotne rainy days. And as a consequence of this folly, those who are not shrewd enough to continue the spree through legitimate processes have turned to thievery to support it. - For every white man who in dire extremity has gone outside the law to get the wherewithal to satiate his unnatural appetite, there are ten who have kept within the law but are thieves nevertheless. When a man runs up bills he cannot pay to support himself and family in luxuries that he knows he cannot afford, he is a thief whether he ever spends a day in jail or not. The case of Greenwood county to which Judge Featherstone draws attention is not unusual. It is not peculiar to South Carolina. It is the culmination of the heresy that holds ' 3 there is no sanctity to debt. It fa the result of an unbridled effort on the part of thousands to get something for nothing. * _ FINAL DISCHARGES Notice is hereby given that ofce month from this date, on Monday* August 2, 1926, I will make to the Probate Court of Kershaw County my final return aa Administrator ox the estate of Edward Brooks, deceased, and on the same date I will apply to the said Court for a final diacnirga as said Administrator. ?' ,:'m THOS.
