Williaton, Nov. 80.—Showing thal in his rose cotton waa a secondary crop and proving that raiaing aapara got and asparagus crowns was more remunerative, T. R. Pender, of this town, has had r.o trouble convincing himself that the earth will yield com pensation ' commensurate with the energy and intelligence of him who ’ <*- ' Ur Per.der has juit turned his 33rd year. Twelve years ago he own ed gn $8 suit of clothes and an equally valuable bicycle. He bought 48 acres of lirnd “on a credit” and contracted to pay $1,600 for it He ar d his wife ntyvod into an unpainted two-room house and faced the future with stout hearts, strong bodies and “$1,600 in oirVie.’’; Three ^norths ago Mr. 'Pender bought an additional 47 acre tract of laud. * His seven room bungalow is fitted with an office, ronnirg water, electric lights, telephone, a high- powered radio, comfortable furniture and screened porches.

R. much, the cotton that used to be king is now but a count. When Mr. Pender waa asked what waa hia chief sourae of revenue he said without hesitation, “1 sold $3,- 600 worth of asparagus seed and rrewna last year and will do equa'ly aa well this year. I ginned 19 bale* of cotton, gathered it aa fast as it opened and sold it as rapidly as it was girwed. The first hale brought 18 rests a pound and only one bale was sold at im cents. I make enough cora every year to last me, often sell •ome of it and never boy a bushel.” t ontinamg Mr Pender said, “You see, asparagus is my main crop and cotton my meat, but I also sell cotton seod, waMrmelon seed and about $100 worth of cabbage plants from the bod you aee behind the garden. Oh, you want to know about the cane miU. I dort operate that. People bring their a agar cane, grind it and cook it in my pots. For every ten gallons they make they leave a gallon for me. I average about 160 gallons a year and self it for a dollar a gallon ” Rack in 1918 T. R. didn’t know the lint thing about asparagus. Four consecutive years he loot money try- inf' to raise crowns for growers and then, whea hia expenmei ts and obser vations began to bear fruit the market was flooded.

DIET AND AGE “What is one man's antidote is another man's poison’’ refers more to the age of the man, than to the mutter of chemistry- Age has its limitations of capability; to go be yond the limit may be very dan gerous for the man grown old. Almost every day we read of the death of a man, flfty-flve to aixty- five, who was in good health ap parently, tiie evening before. The report gercrally is, that he ate heartily the last meal preceding the altacl: of cerebra’ hemorrhage; the conclusion I draw is, he might have lived right a!ong, if he had only fed * according to the needs of his body. No aging or aged man needs more , than one-third of the food of which lie usually partakes. The young, active man, strenu ously employed, may eat quantities and qualities of food that astound —and feel no inconvenience there after; his capabilities are almost' unlimited; his digestive apparatus is new; .he has the ability to cast aside the elements that he does not need; with the old man or woman; it is a different matter. I once saw a v/oman of 52, in apparent good health, topple over from her dinner-table, unconscious; she hail eaten at. least a half gallon. She became conscious sev eral days later, from her cerebral attack. She remained paralyzed in the right arm and limb, for eight, years—then, tiled from a second “stroke.” If she had but refrained from that first meal!

Are you inclined to empathy?. It’s the new word of psychologists, and explain stories of witnesses describing in detail what they never saw. That new word may play a part in the Halls-Mflls murder* ca.se. First we think about a thing.with sympathy. Then we get mixed, in ject ourselves into the affair, in our imaginations, and soon are ready to swear, with perfect sincerity, that we saw what we never saw. Dreams lead t<A empathy. You dream you saw a friend in a certain place, think about it, and in a week you believe that you dreamed of him and then saw him, just where you had dreamed of him. And you tell your friends how your dream came true, when it did nothing of the kind. . Beware of empathy. The world is full of it.
