A poor nut is pushing a peanut up Fike’s Peak with his proboscis. lit “Uncle Tom’s Cabin*’ Tactics. Not long ago certain daily news papers published a picture of a boy and a girl. They were from one of the mills in the strike area of the South and had been carried to Washington: to appear before the investigating committee. They were apparently undernourished and sickly. Whether in tentional or not, the impression was given that they were typical of the Southern mill workers. Such tactics are manifestly unfair to the mill owners and are a reflec tion upon the mill workers as a whole. There are undernourished, anaemic persona in all walks of life but they are not regarded as being typical. As a rule, mill workers are better paid than the average farmer or farm laborer but so far we have not seen any pictures of emaciated agricultur ists being published broadcast in an effort to win sympathy for the farm relief movement. In spreading propaganda to in fluence public opinion the propagand ists, unfortunately, do not always ad here strictly to facts. They believe that the end to be accomplished justi- fles the means. If there had been an honest attempt to show the true con dition of of the mill workers, pictures of the well-fed, contented employes could have been easily found. If there be anything radically wrong With the textile situation in the South, H can be remedied without resorting to “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” tactics. The Joy of Being the Editor. Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people sc.y we ore •Uly;. If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other pa per*. we are too lory to write tnem ourselves. If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, wo ought to be out hunting up news. If we go out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job in the office. If we don’t print contributions, we don’t appreciate genius; And if we do print them the paper ia filled with junk. If we make a chnnge in the other fallow’s write-up, we are too critical. If we dont, we are asleep. Now like as not some guy will say Ws swiped this from some magazine. We did.—Exchange. Auto Dealer Makes Long Non-Stop Run Drives New Car 800 Miles in 19 Hours Five Minutes.—Train Time Nearly 31 Hours. Nearly fifteen years ago A. H. Pat terson established a road racing rec ord that, it is said, never has been equalled, when under American Auto mobile Association rules, he copped the Grand Prix road record covering the Santa Monica, CaL, road course •t an average speed of 78.32 miles an hour for the 408 miles. This was a non-stop run, with no tire changes made. Just to show that he has lost none of his old-time finesse in burning up the highways, “Pat,” as he is known in and around Stockton 1 , Cal., where at present he is an Oakland-Pontiac ♦dealer, drove from his place of busi ness to the Grand Canyon of the Colo- rado, a matter of 800 miles, in nineteen hours and five minutes, using om the run a new Oakland All-American Six Landaulet sedan. f Train time for the same route is /thirty hours and 57 minutes ( 250 mileg of the course extending over the Mo- Java desert. Patterson stated that the object of the run was to demonstrate that an Objective 800 miles was accessible Biriag a week-end trip because of the ■mchanlcsl development of the mod- itomobile. His return drive was leisurely tnade fat approximately 84 hours of driving, requiring hi consumed driv- * g time lees than 44 hours for s dio- of im miloo. Train time is GARB DOESN'T MAKE THE MAN IN RUSSIA Sheer Necessity Forces Out lawry of Style. Moscow.—In the Soviet capital, at least, clothes do not make the man; nor the woman, for that matter. Style Is among the antiquated "bourgeois” notions thrown into discard by the Bolshevik revolution. Sheer necessity—the lack of textiles and of cash—had more to do with out lawing style than did Communist prin ciples. In the bitter years of civil strife and famine people were happy enough to have their bodies covered without bothering about the cut or col or of the covering. While conditions are incomparably better, those who can afford to worry about the hang of their trousers or their skirts are still a small minority. Many men, of course, threw off the yoke of a tailored jacket for the free dom of a peasant blouse out of revo lutionary ardor; but the overwhelming majority did so because their Jackets had fallen to pieces and they could not buy a new one. Th« Russian Flapper. A generation of Russian girls adopt ed rough boyish attire and scoffed at female finery. One may be pardoned for guessing, however, that many of them were making a virtue of neces sity. Certainly the first sign of easier economic conditions here, as in the rest of the world, was the better- dressed young woman. The Russian "flapper”—a hoy’s cap pulled rakish ly over her close-cropped head and a man’s overcoat over her nondescript dress—Is definitely on the decline. Between poverty and principle; how ever, style has fared badly enough. Anything but stark nakedness (and the rigors of Russian climate'discour age that) passes muster. Moscow un doubtedly holds the world record for diversity of costume. The queerest sartorial combinations will attract not the slightest attention on Moscow streets. The most grotesque patch work passes unnoticed. Another result of the discording of style Is that one can no longer Judge anyone’s social status from his or her clothes. The fellow you hump Into on the stairway may be the commis sar or the humblest of his clerks—you can’t tell from his apparel. Indeed, If he shows a tendency towards elegant Euro|>eon dress lie Is most likely to be the clerk. Foreigners who have visited Moscow over n period of years agree that in genera’ people here are enormously better dressed than a few years ago, although the standard is still far be low western Europe, or even a city like Warsaw. Smartly dressed women are more In evidence and the popular ity of "Modes," a pitiful little maga zine devoted to the Paris fashions, may be a sign of the tlmea. Fruit Growers Profit From Europe’s Winter Lindsay, Calif.—The "Its an ill wind—” adage was borne out literally in Europe this year, with California orange growers reaping the benefit of the suffering of European growers. The most severe European winter In 230 years caused great damage to the Spanish citrus crop, next largest in the world to that of California. One result was that the California Fruit Growers’ exchange has already moved its first shipload of oranges to Europe, docking In I-ondon the latter part of April. Others are being loaded, and before the season ends it is estimated California citrus growers will have benefited to the extent of marketing 2,500 carloads of their product that never would have been able to compete with European grow ers under ordinary circumstances. The extra market proved extremely fortuitous to California groovers, bur dened with an unusually large Valen cia crop. It Is estimated more than 1,000,000 boxes of oranges will go to Europe this season at prices that will net the grower from 12 to $4 a box. Spring Reflection Notice of Fiwel Discharge.

Gerlach says he owns a wagon one hundred and thirteen years old and In perfect running condition. It has original tires and paint, he says, and he has absolute proof os to Its age. It is said to be one of the very first wagons that Abbott Downing, the famous builder of the Concord coach, constructed. It has no springs sim ilar to the leaf springs In use on wagons and automobiles today, but it nevertheless rides like a cradle. In place of springs there are leather straps running from the front to the rear axles and the body of the wagon Is suspended upon these similar to the manner in which the stage coaches were constructed. * * At the places on the leather where the front wheels hit when the wagon Is turned there is a protection In the shape of steel plates to prevent the tires from wearing out the leather. v Jesse Belton Norris, age 37 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.-B. Norris, of this county, died in Augusta, Ga., May 28th, 1929, and his body now rests in: Mt. Olivet Churchyard in sight of his childhood home and near the banks! of the little stream where, as a boy, he hunted, fished and swam, gathered wild flowers and listened to the sweet sorgs of the birds, and no doubt spent the happiest moments of his life. It is at this stage of his life that we like best to remember him, when his! innocent heart knew not the cares of a cruel world. We carnot realize that he is gone,' neither can we understand why he was taken. We must submit to the will of our Maker. Around his grave the wild flowers are now bloomirg; in the trees nearby the birds are singing; the sparkling waters of the little stream go rip pling on their way. but to him they are voices unheard ard unheeded, for Jesse is no more. He sleeps beneath his native soil. Where childhood’s happy days were spent; f . No more a wanderer will he be— His troubled mind has found content.

Before approving his enllstiMBt peperr they farced him to have a drees tsttooed OS tb: Death of Mrs. Laura Edetifield. The following account of the death of Mrs. Laura Edenfield, is taken from The Sylvania KJa.) Telephone. Mrs. Edenfield moved from Barnwell County to Georgia with her husband a number of years ago. She was a sis ter of the late LeRoy and O. D. A. Wilson, of Allendale: Mrs. Laura Edenfield died Sunday night at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. W. A. Mallory, in Sylvania. with whose family she had beer, making her home for some years. She had been suffering with a weak heart for %ome time, but seemed to be feeling well when she went to bed. She had an attack during the night, however, and though restoratives were admin istered, she did not respond, and pass ed away in a short time. Mrs. Edenfield was eighty-eight years of age, the widow of Mr. Joe Edenfieli, |i well remembered citi zen, and she was known and beloved by all of our people. She abounded in all those virtues that go to make up the true Christian life, and there was no time when she was not ready to go, if it was her Master’s will. She was one of the oldest members of Jack s' Baptist church—for she had lived in, that community nearly all of her married life, ever since she and her husband came here from South Caro lina and settled near Buck Creek not long after their marriage. She led a true and devoted Christian life, and was an example, not only for those of her own: family, but for all others who kn«w her as well. When the news of her death became known it was said by all that a good woman had gone to her reward. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Jackson church, be ing conducted by Rev. H. J. Arnett and Rev. Chas. H. Kop<p, and the body was interred in the cemetery at that place. A large number of friends were present to pay their last tribute of love to the good woman who had gone am before. | Mrs. Edenfield leaves surviving her l two children, Mrs. Wilkes Boykin, of Week-End TRIPS Round Trip Reduced Fares from BARNWELL Fares from Other Points in Proportion.
