We Have No Real Bananas
While the banana Is eaten In great
numbers and made the subject of song,
laud and vaclferous, the statement Is
made that we da net know what ba
nanas are until we have had the experi
ence of eating them In the lands where
they are grown. Those which we in
this country are familiar with are
grown In Costa Rica, Jamaica and
countries In tropical America, but they
are picked for shipment long before
they have ripened and before they have
taken on their best flavor. Efforts
have been made to grow' the fruit in
California, Louisiana and other warm
aectlons of this country, but the at
tempts have been generally unsuccess
ful, for the tree will not stand the tem
perature approaching frost. The ef
forts have never been commercially
successful. In the East Indies bananas
are grown that are a foot long and
two inches In thickness, but It Is im
possible to ship these. —Rehoboth Sun
day Herald.
Youth and Middle Age
Touth Is the time for action—middle
age for thought. In youth, red-handed.
Ted ankled, with songs and shoutings,
we gather In the grapes; In middle age,
under our own fig tree or In quiet gos
sip with a friend, we drink the wine
free of all turbid lees. Youth is a
lyrical poet —middle age is a quiet es
sayist, fond of recounting experiences,
and of appending a moral to every in
cident. In youth the world is strange
wind unfamiliar, novel and exciting;
everything wears the face and garb
of a stranger; In middle age the world
Is covered over with reminiscences as
with a garment. It Is made homely
with usage, it is made sacred with
Two Howlers
Special notice has Just reached me
of two excellent ■ schoolboy howlers.
The first is the most Idiomatic trans
lation of “Pax in bello," which was
rendered “Freedom from indigestion.”
The second relates to the .well-known
Metorieal incident of Queen Elizabeth
and Sir Walter Raleigh’s cloak. After
describing the scene, the pupil made
*he queen say:
“Sir Walter, I am afraid I have
■dirtied your cloak.’’
“Dleu et mon droit,’’ replied Sir Wal
ter. which means in English, ’My G —d.
jyou are right!”

Scientific Basis for
Chances of Greatness
The older the parents when the
child is born, says an authority on
heredity, the surer Its chances for
greatness.
The first and last born are more
likely to attain eminence.
The more children a mother has
the longer she lives —and the longer
she lives, the longer the children live.
Children of professional people —
lawyers, physicians and the like —have
a better chance for fame than those
born to wealth or those whose parents
lacked educational advantages.
The offspring of fathers under thir
ty-one are more likely to become sol
diers; artists come from fathers be
tween thirty-one and forty; between
forty-one and fifty there Is more of a
tendency toward statesmen; over fif
ty-one come the philosophers like Con
fucius, Bacon and Franklin.
Ninety per cent of the Investigated
criminal cases show them to be the
offspring of younger parents.
If your father is more than sixty,
and you are the youngest child In a
large family—you should become fa
mous.
A Doctor’s Life
The doctor sent a bill for $!• to the
terrible-tempered Mr. Bangs. The
bill read: “Two visits—3lo.”
“You’re a robber," said Mr. Bangs.
"Five dollars a visit I It isn’t worth
IL"
“I’ll rewrite the bill,” said the doc
tor, and Bangs smiled. They couldn't
put anything like that over on him.
Then the doctor wrote: “To getting
out of bed at 2 a. m., answering tele
phone, disturbing wife, dressing, going
to garage, cranking ‘tin Lizzie,’ two
mlle drive in the cold, saving baby’s
life, return to garage, waking wife,
undressing, getting back into bed —
310."
He said to Bangs: “I won't make
any charge for the second visit, and
you need not pay for the first unless
you feel I have earned the money.”
Mr. Bangs paid the bill.—Boston
Globe.
Uncle Sam Gives Bargain
Nebedy likes to get a letter on
which there Is postage due. Wne «f
the R. F. D. carriers tells a funny
yarn about a wsman, a foreigner, who
received a letter from the old coun
try marked 20 cents due. He offered
It to her, asking for the 20 cents. She
refused It, shaking her head. He
stayed a moment, not knowing exact
ly what to do. Finally, he noticed
that he had made a mistake and that
the postage charge should have been
15 cents. So he called to the woman,
trying to explain.
As soon as she beard 15 cents she
smiled, showing all her teeth. She
cheerfully gave him the money. She
thought she had got the best of a bar
gain.—G. Edward Snyder in the Amer
ican .Magazine.
Much Work Involved
in Making Dictionary
The dictionary, together with the
textbook. Is largely responsible for
the uniformity of pronunciation In the
United States and the general adop
tion of a similar system of spelling
than that which is used in England.
Such words as "labor” and "color,“
spelled with a "u" In the second syl
lable in England, are examples of the
nFwer method.
The business of making a dictionary
is a stupendous task. A dictionary is
a record and arrangement of all the
words of a language, current and obso
lete, together with all their meanings
and uses. In addition, a dictionary Is
a historical record of words.
The lexicographer—for that Is the
name given to a man who compiles a
dictionary—must indicate the origin of
each word so far as It can be deter
mined. and the changes which have
come about in its meaning through the
passing of the years. If a word has
died out, he must tell when it hai>-
peued.
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MAY 1,1925
Mr. D. N. Elrod
Dead
It was a great shock to the citizens
of Hartwell last Sunday night, April
26, 1925, when it became known
that Mr. Elrod had died suddenly at
his home on Forest avenue. He had
been afflicted during the last year or
so but not much of the time so seri
ously as' to cause any special anx
iety on the part of himself or fam
ily. He was able to walk up town
Sunday afternoon, returning home
about night fall in a seemingly weak
ened condition. He retired and in
a very few minutes there were signs
of serious symptoms and before any
thing could be done he passed away.
He was born in Anderson county,
S. C., July 31, 1865, and spent his
young manhood in that county, mov
ing to Hartwell some forty years
ago.
Mr. Elrod’s first and second wives
preceded him to the grave.
He was a member of the Baptist
church of Hartwell and the funeral
was conducted at the home Monday
afternoon at 4 o’clock by Rev. W.
A. Duncan, his pastor, assisted by
Revs. J. H. Barton and James Brad
ley.
He was buried with Masonic hon
ors of which fraternity he had been
a member for many years. '
Mr. Elrod was an honorable, sin
cere man and always contended for
the right as he saw it.
The family have the sympathy of
his and their many friends in Hart
well and surrounding country.
Seven children are left to mourn
the loss of a father, viz: Mrs. Leon
Morris, Annie Ruth, Louise, Carolyn,
Floyd, Newell and Calhoun Elrod.
Also one sister, Mrs. Mary Elrod,
of Seneca, S. C., three brothers,
Wade Elrod, of Anderson, S. C., J.
D. Elrod and Pickens Elrod, of Bel
ton, S. C.
W. C. Page, funeral director, was
in charge.

The Silent Lake
There Is a lake the depth of which
is unknown. Thia is the Great Sunk
en lake In the Cascade mountains, and
besides being possibly the deepest In
the world it is also the most silent.
Sunk far below the mountain rim, Its
walls average 2,000 feet down to the
waler's surface, and how much farther
down the water goes no one knows.
The length of the lake is fifteen miles
and the breadth about four and a half.
