The Sumter Herald contains an interesting"
editorial paragraph regarding
a product that in the childhood
days of tlje middle aged folks of today
was a family by-word, and draws
from the downfall of this product an
object lesson in advertising. The
Herald relates that some years ago
Pearline, a washing compound, was
seen advertised in every newspaper
and magazine, perhaps the most
widely advertised product of that
day. And Pearline was used as extensively
as it was advertised. When
the originator, Mr. Pyles, died, his
executors hit upon the idea that the
product 'had made its place in the
timiaokniri Rornrp already and decided
to drop the advertising appropriation.
Now, says The Herald, one
t never hears of Pearline; it is sold
in very few stores and it is doubtful
if one person in a thousand buyers
ever ask for it. The advertising
appropriation was saved and the sale
of the product was lost.
By a vote of 79 to 9 the house of
representatives last Wednesday nigfat
passed the tax extension resolution
~
over the veto of Governor Cooper,
following the action of the senate
previously in overriding the governor's
veto. *The resolution thereby
becomes a part of the law of the
state and the time for the payment of
I state and county taxes, under the
provisions'of the act, has been ex^
tended until June 1, with no executions
to be served until September 1.
Just how the legislators expect the
people to be any more able to pay
their taxes in April and May than
now is rather difficult to deduct, however
it seemed to be the almost
v" *
* ----1 * V ^
unanimous opinion 01 me mcuucio
~ of botfh houses that this action was
wanted by the taxpayers. The legislators
cannot be blamed, we suppose,
for giving the people what they
want, as they are the servants of the
people. Although, the legislators
were not so scrupulous about the
- wants of the people in some other
respects, notably the killing of seme
of the useless commissions and boards
* which the dear people support with
their delinquent and hard-to-pay
-taxes.
The provisions of the tax extension
act provide: Penalties are
imposed on delinquent tax payers as

during April, 5 per cent.; for taxes
paid during the month of May, 6 per

The sweet potato besides being one
* v
of the most valuable products of this
section of the country, is decidedly
one of the most appetizing products.
A bulletin just issued by Winthrop
>:" - college details 28 ways to prepare
the sweet potato for the table, including
puddings, pies, fritters, candied
potatoes, etc. The bulletin says:
"The southern sweet potato should
always be distinguished from the
northern, in that the southern is richer
in sugar, softer and more moist
when cooked." In regard to the
food value of the southern sweet potato,
the bulletin says: "The southern
sweet potato should stand at the
top of the line. It contains 558 calories
per pound against 378 in the
white potatoes, about 26 per cent,
starch and sugar, and an appreciable
amount of phosphorus and iron,

known by most folks who eat sweet
potatoes, and that includes very near
everybody in the south, although
some folks eating this delectable
. v . product may not know really 4low
beneficial a food it is. It is further
interesting, because, if the worst
comes to the worst, our folks can
live on potatoes very largely; and
we do not have to send off to get
them. The News and Courier, in
discussing the Winthrop bulletin,
says there is another method not de oila/l

tatoes; the editor says he does not |
know exactly how to describe it, but [
he attempts to do so as follows: '
"If we knew anything about how to
cook we would tell what it is, but we
don't. We only know that we have
never eaten anything better than
sweet potato pie made after this fashion
we have in mind, and it was not j
made in the manner prescribed in
the Winthrop recipes, for the sweet
potatoes were sliced, not mashed,
there' were spices of some sort and
we have a suspicion that the pie was
probably spiked as well as spiced.
It was just about the finest dish a
man ever tasted."

LIFE IN SOVIET RUSSIA.
Peasants Faring Far Better Than
the Industrialists.
The Russian peasants have fared
best under Soviet rule, despite the
fact that the government laid stress
on the betterment of the condition of
iv,-v ami r>rvmmiinictc
'lilC Ull V WUI AU1UU UliU
who are mostly city and town workers',
according to an Associated Press
correspondent writing from Moscow.
Except in the famine areas where
over 20,000,000 are necessitous peasants,
the farming population has kept
the pot boiling and managed to eat
much more regularly than the city
men. The great majority of the
metropolitan population 'has returned
to the land.
The bolshevik prevention of free
interior trade has starved the cities
whose people had to go to the country
for food carrying with them their
personal belonging which they trad
ed for potatoes and flour. As a consequence
the thrifty farmers have
become wealthy.
As wealth goes in the village they
have hoarded rubles, househould articles
and wearing apparel which the
city folks have brought in in exchange
for bread.
The peasant women also have taken
on the fashions of their city sisters,
struggling in vain to make
themselves grand dames. With three
cows, a littel of pigs, a flock of chickens
and a potato patch, the peasant
woman had the most desired commodities
in Russia and she exchanged
flour, vegetables and meat for the
trappings of city life. Humble cab*

gilt furnishings, pianos, musical instilments,
Dresden china, hideous
marble and bronze ornaments, silver
dishes, opera coats, and shoes.'
The rugged peasant girls with
broad shoulders, muscular arms and
large feet, which is the result of years
of ploughing and hoeing and woodchopping,
present a strange appearance
in their tiny aigretted hats,
3hort skirts and slippers which the
village shoemakers have fashioned
after the Parisian models for feet only
accustomed to the boulevards.
Investigation seems to show that
the peasants are generally pleased
with the government's new system
of taxation whereby the farmers must
surrender a fixed percentage of their
crops in taxes, for they are finding it
far more preferable to the old requisition
system. They are not resisting
it to any considerable extent
and seem confident that only a fixed
amount will be taken.
The present system of free trade
reminds them of old times and they
are generally showing satisfaction.
The government seems to be gradual
ly winning them over in a half-hearted
way..
Meantime the government finds its
pet protegees?the city workmen?
are faring worse and worse and they
s?pm much diseruntled. Free trade
is of no assistance as the people are
lacking money to buy. In addition
the government is unloading the responsibility
for the feeding of the
workmen.
The outcome of the complete monopolization
of trade is probably
wholly different than the party leadership
intended andtheparty are now
finding it difficult to explain their
good intentions to the industrialists
whose families lack food and clothing.
There to Stay.
The pile of flints still to be broken
was a very large one, thought the
stone-breaker as he gazed at it disconsolately
between his bites at a
large sandwich of bread and cheese.
A minister came along and gave him
a cherry "Good-morning," remarking
afterward that he -had a deal of
work to get through yet.
"Aye," said the eater, "them
stones are like the Ten Commandments."
"Why so?" inquired the genial parson.
"You can go on breaking 'em,"
came Che reply, "but you can't never
get rid of em."?The Christian-Evangelist

"Why, yes," returned her husband
as he put on his carpet slippers and

The bootlegger dropped his goldrim

DUMMY EDITOR FOR JAPS.
His Job To Go To Jail When Paper
Offends.
The "dummy editor" is one of the
hardest things around a Japanese
newspaper office, relates a Tokio dispatch.
His job is simple enough. It is
merely to go to jail whenever neces
sa.i ,y.
On dull days the "dummy editor"
has nothing at all to do except sit
around the shop and twiddle his
thumbs. But when business is brisk
and the cops come in and pinch the
place for having printed forbidden
material, he puts on his frock coat
and climbs into the hoodlum-wagon
and spends a week or so in the calaboose
earning his salary.
Meanwhile the real editor runs
the sheet in, the same old way at the
same old stand.
That's one of the ways of maintaining
the freedom of the press.
Another is to print anything you
choose and trust to Budda and the
|
police. The latter is growing in fav- j
or, and a good number of newspapers
are breaking away from the
once-universal "dummy editor" plan.
Japanese newspapers are subject
at all times to orders from the government
forbidding the mention or
discussion of specified subjects. For
instance, there has been a ban for
some time against mention of or
speculation regarding the health of
the Emperor. Any edition containing
an offending article may be suppressed.
Police come to the office,
seize all the copies of that issue they
can find, scurry about town confiscating
the copies at news stands and
in the possession of newsboys and
all copies in the post office. Usually
they let it go at that, only the one
offending issue is suppressed and the
paper is allowed to continue in business
the next day. v
~ " " J 1 "r U rt?
One angle 01 tne Japanese nuei iaw
is to the effect that whenever a citizen
challenges the truth of a newspaper
story concerning him and complains
that it has damaged his business
or character, the newspaper
must print in the next issue a denial
of length and position equalling the
original. This is supposed to vindicate
the irate citizen and remove
cause for libel suit.
Here's the joker. The law provides
that wiiile the correction must be of
"equal length" to the article complained
of, \if it is any longer the
newspaper can collect full advertising
rates for the excess,wordage.
Thus, the "Evening Agitator"
springs a neat little yarn that our
esteemed fellow-townsman, Mr. T.
Toga robbed the treasury of the
Shinto Shrine yesterday at three p.
Mr. T. Toga denies indignantly
that he did any such thing, threatens
suit and demands retraction.
The next day tne r/vemus Aguator"
plays an item, same page and
position saying that Mr. T. Toga did
not rob .the treasury of the Shinto
Shrine yesterday at three p. m.
The retraction is two words longer
than the original story, so the "Evening
Agitator" collects from Mr. T.
Toga, at full display, preferred position,
advertising rates, payment for
the two words "did not."
For the Sake of Votes.
The lower house of congress after
osOamn ?i hora H nil rerent.lv Dassed
OUiCuia uviiuviMv.v*. - ? ? r ^
an "anti-lynching" bill. The vote
coincided roughly with the partisan
division of northern Republicans and
southern Democrats.
Theoretically, the object of the bill
was to reduce lynchings, which have
had for their most numerous victims
the negroes in the south. Actually,
the object of the bill was to cater
favor with negro voters, wbo are
numerous in some or the northern
voting centers.
Theoretically, the opposition to the
bill was inspired by the altruistic belief
that fearful interference with
state officials for shortcomings in
punishing lynchers, is an unwarranted
and dangerous extension of federal
paternalistic rule. Actually, the opposition
felt that the southern voters
would resent any vote which might
be construed as catering to negroes.
Negro voters may look forward
with confidence to the appearance
shortly of some franked copies of the
Congressional Record in which the
sufferings of their race are elequently
denounced. So, too, ardent upholders
of the Old South may enhearten
themselves with the thought that
printed patriotism, of their own particular
brand, will s'oon be delivered
free.
As for the bill, if it becomes^ law,
there are few southerners who fear
that it will have any more effect than
did the constitutional amendment
giving the negro the vote. Neither
do the northerners.
But viewed simply as an arrangement
of words, the measure is eiftirely
commendable. So, too, would be
a constitutional amendment prohibiting
murder.?Dearborn Independent.

M RS. M. H. VARNT"
Lucille Avenue Parent Teacher
club, Atlanta, Ga., passes resolution
on death of Mrs. M. H. Varn, February
15th, 19p2.
Whereas our kind and loving Heavenly
Father has in His goodness, mercy
and wisdom called into eternal rest
and reward our beloved friend and
co-worker, Etta B. Varn (Mrs. W. H.
Varn), be it resolved:
1. That one of Che noblest, kindest,
truest, most unselfish and most
loyal of God's children has passed
from us.
2. That the Lucile Avenue Parent-Teacher
Association, of which
she was Secretary, '.has suffered an irreparable
loss. At no time has any
member been more efficient, more active,
more willing than she. She
served on all standing committees at
different times, more often as chairman.
Never was she called upon that
she did not respond. "I can't" was unknown
in her vocabulary. Many,
many have been the times that she
undertook difficult tasks for the welfare
of the school that no one else
could possibly find time to perform,
and always with a willingness that
bespoke that big heart and soul of
hers. How we will miss her at our
future meetings! How hard to fill
that vacant chair?that place in
which she has served so faithfully
and loyally as our secretary
3. That each of her sacred duties
as child of God, as wife, as mother,
?* ~ ^ 11 rrV. for oc cietdr nprfnrmed
ao uau^utv/i; waww* y ww rw.
nobly.
4. That the community in which
she lived and was esteemed so highly
has felt her death*keenly, especially
the neighborhood children who
were so devoted to her. She was a
friend to all, and one whose friendship
and cheery smile every one was
glad to claim. Never was she too
busy to lay down her own affairs
when a friend, or even an acquaintance,
needed her.
5. That the young life has been
a wonderful example to Chose of us
left behind. She was taken so young
and so suddenly, yet God left her
long enough to teach us that the life
of service is the only life worth the
living. '
8. That the bereaved husband,
the two precious children, the mother,
the sisters, the brothers and the
loving friends may find comfort in
the fact that her faith in God was
perfect, and that she suiters no more
intense pain, hut sleeps peacefully in
the arms of Jesus.
7. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the members of the
family, copies sent to the daily papers,
and a copy spread on the minutes
of the Lucile Avenue ParentTeacher
Association.

MATHEW ALLEN MOYE.
Born August 1st, 1845. Died February
2nd, 1922.
An absence from home, and a press
of matters, both business and domes- v
tic, have combined to make tardy the
tribute I have been wanting to pay
to the beloved uncle w.hose mortal
remains were laid to rest a few weeks
since in nesuanci cemetery, mat silent
city of the dead, in such close
proximity to the busy marts of trade,
where he was once engaged in business,
and on the streets where he was
for years a familiar and interesting
figure.
He was the youngest child, and only
son (who reached man's estate),
of George Ward and Rebecca Spears ,
Moye, and was born near Buford's
Bridge, then a thriving village of
Barnwell county.
Deprived of his mother at a tender
age, he became the care and idol of a
fond father and seven devoted sisters.
Though not robust physically, he >
left this home of ease and love and
culture and answered his country's
call to arms when a boy of eighteen,
enlisting in Co. F, 3rd S. C. Regiment,
and serving loyally until the star of
the Confederacy set at Appomatox in
1865.
In manner he was affable, courteous,
and kindly. In nature he was
loyal, truthful, and peace loving1. If
I were asked his predominant characteristics,
I would say loyalty and
charity. Loyalty to God and the
church, his country, family and
friends. Charity that rejoiced not in
inquity, but rejoiced an the truth;
charity that suffereth long and
is kind, charity that speaks kindly ^
of his erring fellow-man and incites
him to better living. This is the
charity that actuated his long life and
made him a power for good in his
community. \
He was thrice married; first to Sallie
Brabham, daughter of Josiah and
Susanna McMillan Brabham, of Buford's
Bridge, who preceded him to
the grave thirty-five years.
His second wife was Emma Rice
Buist, widow of James F. JBuitst, a
beloved minister of the Baptist
church, who labored in this community
for many years.
His last wife, who survives him,
was Chivelette O'Neal Stokes. In the
coming November?but with many
misgivings of both being spared to
see the day?this couple were to have
celebrated their silver wedding.
God has ordered otherwise, but
perhaps one faithfull (hand full of its *.
everlasting reward will be stretched *
down from the skies to clasp the
feeble one that remains on earth,
feeble, but faithful still.
The funeral services were conducted
by Reverend Mr. White, pastor
of the deceased, assisted by Reverend
S. 0. Cantey, of the Bamberg
Methodist church.
Joining the Baptist church in his I
youth, the deceased ever remained a
useful and consistent member J
throughout his long life.
He is survived by three sons, J. C. W*
and F. M. Moye, of Bamberg, and M.
A. Moye, of Charleston, and one sister,
Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, of this place,
now in the eightieth year of her. age.
We }ay aside this -gem of the olden
time with sadness, fearing it will
he long ere we look upon his like V
again. NETTIE OGILVIE SPEAKS.
