The Advertiser has been asked to
say something about the house-keep
i's who :ut off until after six o'clock
to crder their groceries. requiring
girocers pld their clerks to remain In
the stores at late hours in the eveff
ings. The Advetiser isn't going to say
anything harsh about these people
Nvho delay in such matters, for we
know it is thotightlessless lore thn1
anything else, but we do remind the
good house-wives that the grocery
clerks like to have the cool evenings
off as well as anybody else and we
suggest that their plea be ileeded.
TIlE Illv"E.RS
There is no use in raising the war
cr.y aghlinst the Shifters, tile new "se
cret" society among the young -People.
The less said about it or against it the
better. Such mnovelents, organiza
tions, synptomns or whatever you
choose to call thlemn,- thrive on notoriety
and criticism. There is nothing good
about it and it has the evil teldelcy
to breed familiarity between the sexes,
but it won't last. It has too films"v

JO-IN 'PllS MWEIEK
This is the last week of the cotton
marketing campaign. A large number
of Latirens farmers have failed to join
the association. With such men
among the signers as J. S. Craig, R. L.
Gray, .the You ngs and Workmans, of
Clinton, Sen. C, odwin, lle resentative
Nance, W. L. Gray, 1.. P. .Minter and
others of'such calibre on the list, we
believe that the contract warrants the
careful study of every farmer in the
county. This is 'the last week. If
you exnect to help make the movement

WOMAi.N ADVO0.\TIIE
OUT1,AWING OF W.UtR
Judge Florence E. Allen of Cleveland
Would PuniSh its Crime.
Hot Springs, Ark., April 23.-A world f
law making war a crime and providing
suitable punishment for It was advo
cated today by Judge Florence 'l-. Allen
of Cleveland in all address before the
national convention of the Young
Women's Chistian association, in
which she declared that "America
should call a meeting of the world for
the express pur-pose of outlawing war."
"Whlen there is no law against aar
we can not even begin to enforce the'
gr'eatest ,rule of' equtity between na
tions, tile lawv of tile sacredness of
life," saidl Judge Allen, who was the]
first woman judge of a common pleas
cou1rt in the United States..
"Those who rely completely uPonl a
worldl eourt for achilevinlg peace forget
that stuch a court can not a s~pwar
until there is a lai.v fr tNr
It Is so in our ordinary edkr t.' If I
have before me the most hettni1ur
derer, I can not try him, m'deh l'ess
sentence him, unless there is a law
defining and sproviding for the punish
ment of the murdler. "Any fighlting,
'unless In self-defense between1 indi
viduals is criminal; any killing unfless
in self-defense, is mutrder. We have
to make the world agr'ee that Inter
national fighting, unless In .self-de
fense, Is criminal -and Is murder."
Judge Allen would ada'pt the modern
code from the ancient and . make
"Thou shalt not war" the basic prin
ciple of the International law. She I
exhorted American women to take adl
vantage of the vote for not only local
and national, but world good.
"Shall we American women, Invest
ed Iwithl new 'power In government, be
inaticulate and nervless?" she asked.
"Now is tile crutilal time, and1 If the
peoples of the wVC-lds fr --....-..'
opportunilty, we shall stagger' on, phys
Ically -andi moral cri-pples, to the sering
of new str'ifes. W: c: -- - '-'r
liability. We have a . ..
outselves articulate, of demanding
thlat the 'peace on earth' spiritenr
into world 'politics."ene
Judge Allen advised subordinating
local affairs to International' questionsI
stating that it was "more vit-al to any
one citign to know who is secretary.
of state than who Is mayor of one's
own tervn or governor of One's state."
"We have to kn w what the govern
ment Is doing an demand that right
be done," she con tnoted. "But most of
all we must conc ntr'ate intelligently
for the abolition of war as a means of
settling international disputes. We1

IUUUSTA PLAYER
HAS BROKEN BACK
Ihird BaSeian Injured iII Auto
Wreek. Four Others In Car.
Greenville, April 23.-Lying on his
nack in the Greenville city hospital,
lerman -Merritt, third baseman of the
\ugusta baseball team, is putting ul)
L game fight as the result of an -atto
nobile accident this morning when he
ustaiiled a fracture of the spine. lie
s completely )aralyzed below the
valst and physicians express the be
lef that the injury twill prove fatal.
Merritt was driving a Packard car
)Clonging to Tom Barrett, one of the
>wners of the Augusta baseball club,
ilong the Augusta road about 15 miles
rom Greenville this morning at 7:30
'clock when the steering gear is said
o have locked. lie was accompanied
)y Wilbur Davis, Art Trefry, Orion
lIasters an( W'eidell, Augusta play
ris, but the four escaped without a
cratch. Alerritt, eye witnesses said,
vas driving about 15 miles an hour.
'ie ear turned over once, started over
gain and landed on the side.
Tile car, it is said, was driven to
i'eenville Saturday by Barrett, who
tended the Greenville-Augusta game.
le left it at a local garage to be re
Oaired, it is said, and went to Green
VoOd with friends, instructing the ball
>layers to call for the car and drive
t to Augusta. Skilled mechanics will
nvestigate the steering aparatus of
lie car tomorrow to determine if it
vas repaired.
Tle players left 'here -at 7 o'clock
his morning. Merritt stated that he
toticed the steering gear was sensitive
fnd accordingly was driving slowly.
)ccupants of the car, including the
[river, and two eye witnesses, say the
ar was not going over 15 miles an
our when it suddenly began switch
ng in the road and turned turtle.
Merritt was rushed to the hos'pital
id several surgeons and physicians
legan efforts to have his life. Little
iope, however, is held for his recov
ry, it being i,he consensus of opinion
e will probably linger for several
lays and possibly a month.
The wife of the injured player
eaclied Greenville this afternoon and
is father is en route from Eldorado,
Lrk., and his mother from Leaven
orth, Kan. Merritt formerly lived
,t Graybpil, Miont., but of late has
alled Kansas City home.
In 22 games wit. Detroit last year
t batted .370, but this year Ty Cobb
referred to retain Bobby Jones on
ceount of his fielding and "farmed
lit" Alerritt to Augusta. -Merritt
nade many friends here on his initial
tppearance in Greenville. he lilt ter
ifically, having -a perfect batting aver
ge of eight hits for 13 bases in the
Irst two 'games.
The Barrett brothers and Ty Cobb,
vho own the majority of stock in the
tugum~ra club, Manager Neal Ball and
Ilayers and fals about the circuit
;enerally are heartbrok'h over the
rgic accident. The player iwas cer
ainly the most brilliant in the Au
,usta lineu'p the three days the Geor
lians Ilplayed here.
Members of the Greenville club to
iight called to see Lierritt and lie
'ecognized themi. He realizes his eon
ition -but is 'battling gamely. ".It I
~ould move my -legs, I'd abe all r'ight,"
ie said. Ils wife is at -hisa bedside.

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
. AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY
The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel
Smithers, "Atlantic Coast," and ex
pected Ben to know Just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up in the garret, maybe a chest
full of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y., or Chicago, Ill., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is
just as Incomplete as was Zeke's ad
liress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street In the address. It helps you.
How do you expect the Postal Clerk
to know whether you mean Trinidad,
California, or Trinidad, Colorado?
ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE NAME
OF THE STATIE IN FULL IN THE
ADDRESS.
"MORE BUSINESS
IN GOVERNMENT"
This apt phrase was used In Presi
dent Harding's first message to Con
gress and applies particularly in postal
management where postmasters are
being impressed with the fact that
they are managers of-local branches
of the biggest bushness in tite world.

"There is no unimportant person or
part of our service. It Is a total of
human units and their co-operation ia
the key to its success, In Is. last
analysis. postal duties are accohumo

and friends and should be so regarded,
rather than as a hiredl serviee per
