It has been done in the matter of > the Greek letter fraternities and caus- t ed no end of trouble in some of the 1 leading colleges of this country; and 1 this led to the passage of laws cur- .< tailing, if not entirely prohibiting r their operations . And in the case of the negroes in some of the sections of 1 this country, secret organization* n have been responsible for a lot of ji trouble between the whites and the 11 blacks. .< Now, of late, there has been started ? in Georgia, a new secret organization, ' i known as the Ku Klux Klan . It. takes i its name, and does not deny it, from i the old order of necessity, formed just j t after the war between the States for't the protection of the white families J c from the acts of slaves who had been u but recently set free and inclined to i a_i._ ^? .1. i:i a... i.-* i .

If thej! members of the local clan appear in t public they are to he in disguise and i if th^'v perform some unlawful act i while in that condition, there is no 1 wav to identify the offender. < We are opposed to this secret so- i ciety and have been from the first.

There is a reason for having automobile laws, and there should he a renson for hnvinff a law n the statute books without delay prohibitinp; 'finv secret society or organization of that nature from parading with masks on. It should bo against the law to do that no matter how free the laws may be as to the rganization of secret societies. What they may do in their lodpres mav of course be of benefit not only to them but to their country at larce; but when they appoar in puh'ir thov should not be ashamed of their identitv. nor obliged to keep their face hidden.

This is bad coalition for us to be in, but can we help it? o Mest of the things a man does in a community is bound to benefit the others there as well as himself, if he is the right kind of a man and his actions right. o Buildings can be constructed of good materials and then finished up in the best of style with paints and varnish, but they will not remain in good condition without constant attention. o Those in charge of the public affairs need to study hard to lighten the burden of taxation which is every year growing heavier and heavier upon the shoulders of the people. o Conway was on the high road to sue cess as a great strawberry selling point at one time in her history. There is no reason why our farmers should not take up the planting of this crop again. There is more need for this as a money crop now than formerly. o CITATION FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION.

The shoots should be cu. [regularly; if not, the old shoots become tough and rank flavored. Spinach furnishes little body energy, but it is exceptionally rich in iro.? and is one of the important vitamine [and so >s a valuable food, say specinliists in United States Department of Agriculture. It contains little starch and only a suggestion of sugar, and is therefore one of the ve^ etables that physicians include in the bill of fare of many invalids who require a diet without these carbohyd rates.

Like most other vegetables, jt is rarely cooked to perfection, yet iV is not difficult to prepare Except for special reasons, the simplest methods are the best for this vegetable. No matter how cheap the raw spinach may be. it is always expensive in one* thing?labor. It takes a good deal of time, and patience to wash it clean. To clean the spinach cut off Unroots, break the leaves apart and drop them into a larpe pan of water, rinse them well, and lift them into a second nan of water. Do not pour the water off over the spinach or the prrit that has heen washed off will p;ot back on the leaves. Continue washinpr in clean waters until there is not a trace of sand on the bottom of the nan. If the spinach is at al wilted, let it stand in cold water unti! it becomes fresh and crisp. Drain from this water and blanch as follow.' : For half a peck o<* spinach put In a lar^e saucepan 3 quarts of boilitur water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Put the drained spinach in the boiling wat or and let it boil 10 minutes, counting from the time it begins to boil. When it begins to boil, draw the cover of the saucepan a little to one side to allow the steam to escape. At th?? end of tO minutes pour the spinach into a colaiv'ey an'd when the hot water has parsed off pour cold water e ver it. 1 ot it drain well and minc<-? coarse or fine, as is suitable for the manner in which it is to he served.

Air answer is given by the following bulletin issued from tin* Washington, 1). C., headijuarters of the National1 Geographic Society The Virgin Islands are not re-1 mote from other United States soil. They arc hardly more than a stone's) throw from Porto Kieo. St. Thomas,' the westernmost of the three larger Virgins, is only forty miles from that island, and the presence of Cu-1 lebra Island, belonging to Porto I Rico, midway between the two, ties' the new possessions still more close4. it-'- ? ? 4 iv u) wus eiaer American brother by adoption. The truly beautiful view' that may be had from the 1,500-foot peak of hilly St. Thomas includes to the west the dim outlines of the Porto Rican coast. Close to British Territory. St. John, the smallest of the three principal islands acquired by the United States, lies only two miles to the east of St. Thomas. A climb to the rugged hills of St. John will demonstrate that the American Virgins are also not remote from foreign territory. A mile to the north lies Thatch Island, a small bit of land belonging to Great Britain, and joss than three miles in the same| direction is Tortola Island of thej British Virgins, almost as large as St. John. St. Croix, the largest of the new ly purchased islands, lies 10 miles to the south.

Only 3 cents an aero was p.iid for Alaska, II for Florida, and 2 for tho Philippines. The canal zone cost $35.83 per aero. Tho price j per acre paid for the Virgin Islands I was approximately $205. "The feature that gives the chief vriluc to tho islands from tho point of view of the United States government. are St. Thomas harbor, on which is situated the principal to n of iho group, Charlotte A n"lie. and Coral Bay on the island of St. Jo n. St. Thomas harbor is probably the j best developed harbor in the West Indies and is naturallv protected excent from exceptionally strong hurcrianes. Coral Bay. though entirely undeveloped, constitutes an even more commodiou and bettor protected harbor of rofrr\ These harbors were valuable the United States in themselves, but it was even more imnartant that 'ho United States prevent their falling into the hands of possible enemies. An Atlantic Crossroads. The Greater Antilles, made up of the larger of the West Indies, and the Lesser Antilles, composed of the smaller islands, together form ci gigantic crooked arm enclosing the Carrihean Sea. The Virgin Islands are at the "elbow," the closest point to Europe. Past this point streams of traffic between Europe and the Panama Canal, between New York and both the east and west coasts of South and Central America, and between the Greater and the Lesser Antilles. It has been said of St. Thomas harbor and the town of Charlotte Anuilie that they are "or1 the road to everywhere."

Its acaccessibility, its good harbor, its facilities for coaling- and storage, and lor dry dockage and repairs to steamers, gave Charlotte Amaile a place of preeminence among all the harbors of the West Indies before the war. The falling off of shipping during the war was a hard [blow to its prosperity. In November, 11)17, soon after tliey were taken over l:y the United States, the American Virgin Islands ! bad }i population of slightlj more than This was not a great <le:?l over half the population in 1S35. Nearly i)8 per cent of the inhabitants in 1!M7 w(.re negroes or ir.ulattoes. A large proportion of th few whites arc Danes. English h'c.s always been the predominant language, however, because i the trade of tin* islands has been I largely with th > United . States and with the Knglish West Indian coloi nies. The Virgin islanders have showir an eagerness to become Americanized. In its .administration of the*| islands-the Navy Department has increased and better school facilities, and has cleaned up and enforced sanitary 1 emulations in Charlotte Amaile and the other two towns, both on St. Croix: Christian sted and Fredericksted. The I American authorities in fighting1 typhoid, 'waged one of the most I thorough-going campaigns known to modern science. They cleaned every cistern and innoculated with anti-typhoid scrum every person on the islands. Not a single case j of | typhoid occured since. ?o HOW ABOUT COTTON Some of the farmers have their cotton stored at local tobacco warehouses. It was hoped back yonder that long before this time the price * of cotton would have advanced to a point where all of the farmers could afford to sell; but there has been a disappointment in that respect. Now, '.' o tobacco season will be on hand after a few weeks, and before that 'imp something must be done with 4 votl cotton.
