Thirteen ceases to be a hoodoo
number when it indicates the
price [aui fur cotton.
In Macon. Gu., last week a
banker and a lawyer came to
blow* in bitter controversy as to
whether Cook or IVarv discovered
the pole, liather heated argument
over so cold a subject.
A farmer who sold his cotton
crop oa contract told us recently
that up to the present
time he was about $2,700 "in the
hole." Old King Cotton is
merciless when he metes out
punishment to disloyal subjects.
The dispute still rages as to
who tirst got a peep at the
northern axle of the earth, Cooker
iv>rr This much is evident:
There is no absolute proof that
either explorer reached the pole.
One can assert that Cook got
there, or that Peary J id, or that
both or neither attained the goal,
and how are you going to disprove
the assertion: Certain it is,
however, that only the man who
first arrived there discovered the
pole and that niuu seems to be
Coo.%. Peary may have worked
just as hard and as faithfully to

In a little over a month now

The saute condition obtained
here about sixteen years ago and
we recall that at one time during
the '-prohibition*' era there
were four or live places in Kingstree
where whiskey could bt
bought. Whether or not that
was a fair index of the total
number of '"blind tigers" doing

prepared to say. but those who
remember the tiuie referred to
will ugree that the prohibition
law then in force was notoriously
ineffective, so far as Kingstree
was concerned.
Tri* reason for the failure of
the law is not far to seek:
public sentiment was not behind
it and no veiy serious effort was
made to enforce the law.
Now we are to have a taste of
prohibition again?in name, if
not ir. fact. Shall we in the
light of pas: experience allow
history to repeat itself by taking
no systematic action as a
preventive measure!' We hear of
Law and Order Leagues being
formed in other counties in anticipation
of th-j closing of
the dispensaries on the fifteenth
of November?why not form such
an organization in Williamsburg?
The time is growing short and

nulling could be worst*. ;ind
"Nib uevo" is bis panacea for all evils.
A no vet tbe Russian uioujik is really u
} tiuc Jellow. Ordinarily, H. P. Kennard
! tells us in bis book, "The Russian
t reasant." h-* is a splendid, well built
man, large* limbed. large beaded and
, healthy. He is equally unaffected by
; 20 degrees of frost or twenty glasses of
| vodka. Ho is clothed in uncured sheepskins
and carries in winter more
I clothes than the average Englishman
, could stand up in.
Ho is unspeakably stupid, however,
and his dream of happiness is to gorge,
to sleep us much as possible through
the winter and dance and sing in tho
summer. But the stranger's first objection
to the moujlk is that he smells
. ?.of iw>nnju ho <lr>o? not wash him
self. As a matter of fact, In every village
there are public baths?baaxa?
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday In
order to be allowed to go to church on
Sunday, for the Orthodox church en|
joins cleanliness.
The Russian peasant is always poor
and generally in debt. He plows the
i land in the same way that his father
I plowed it and gets as little for his la1
bor. His main worry in life is how to
' pay the governor's taxes. If he says
: he cannot pay he is flogged, or perhaps
he will sell part of his next year's
power of work?i. e., work for nothing
for several months?to raise a loan,
and of course he is worse off than ever
the following year.
On Christmas night at dusk the marriageable
village girls go out into the
6treets and meet their young men, and
one 6ays, "What is your name?' The
! young man answers "Foma," and she
replies, "My husband's name is Foma."
, Some days later at the girl's home
relations are gathered together. There
. comes a knock at the door. The sta

says something like this:
"We are German people, come from
Turkey. We are hunters, good fellows.
There was a time once in our
! country when we saw strange foot'
prints in the snow, and my friend the
I prince here saw them, and we thought
i they might be a fox's or marten's footprints
or It might be those of a beautiful
girl. We hunters, we good fellows,
are detetrmined not to rest till
we have found the animal. We have
been in all cities from Germany to
Turkey and have sought for this fox.
this marten or this princess, and at last!
we have seen the same strange foot-1
prints in the snow again, here by your

; let us take her, the beautiful princess,

it be that you would keep her till she
grows a little older?"

The quipus. upon which the uQcicnt
Peruvians kept their records and accounts,
consisted of a thick main cord,
i with smaller cords tied to It at certain
distances. l*i>on these smaller cords
the knots were tied by means of which
the reckoning was kept. The length
' of the main rope varied from a foot to
several yards. The cords were of various
colors, each with Its own proper
meaning?as red for soldiers, yellow
for gold, white for silver, green for
corn, and so on. The reckoning seems
to have been largely regulated by the
distances of the knots from the male
cord and the sequence of the branches,
