Will Power Plus Brain
The year 1924 is /filled with op
portunity , for Sumter, if we but
have the foresight and the vision to
see and grasp.
For five years this section has
been passing through a radical
been passing through a radical
change. The methods of genera
tions pass are valueless. A new
day has dawned for those who can
forget OLD WAYS and learn new
ones.
No longer can cotton be produc
ed with “a nigger and a mule.” In
tensive cultivation, brains and
brawn are needed or failure is as
sure as death and taxes.
Americus lies in the center of
one of the richest, most fertile
farming sections in all the South.
Before another twelve months have
past, we should have in active op
eration a creamery, shipping butter
and cream to the near-by cities and
providing a weekly cash income for
every farm in the county.
That’s one kind of pay-roll that
we ct.n get and should have
Americus has a splendid sweet
potato drying house, capable of
handling thousands and thousands
of 'btishels of sweet potatoes. This
Will produce a great cash crop for
Sumter farmers, and is another type
of payroll which we can and should
have.
There is an immense egg hatch
ery in the county, capable of furn
ishing hundreds of thousands of
baby chicks to Sumter farmers.
. These in a few short weeks grow
into dollars, with a large margin of
profit. And that’s a pay roll that
ours. ' ■ <
Far too few hogs| have been i-ai<-
•®d> ifi the county this year and yet i
there is a profitable market for all
we can produce. In the county we
have some of the finest bred sows
in all the world. Mote hogs mean
another pay-rot! for farmers and
merchant.
Peaches and pecans are another
cash crop and pay roll.
When Sumter county learns to
turn her agricultural POSSIBILI
TIES into CASH, Sumter will be
one of the richest counties in the
South.
Put these smaller cash crops on
every farm and then yoqr cotton
will be pure VELVET. At the end
of the year you can bank your cot
ton money or hold the staple until
you are good and ready to 5e11..,
Nineteen twenty-four is filled
with promise and opportunity for
Sumter.
All that’s needed is WILL POW
ER plus BRAINS.
..Weather Hokum
# Old time superstitions about the
wather are being exploded one af
ter the other. The latest exposure
is the tradition that rain follows a
big battle. Popular notion is that
cannonading starts a downpour.
That's sometimes tried to produce
rain artifically during a drouth.
The weather Bureau in Washing
ton. D. C. admits that rain often
follows a battle, in the ordinary
course of events, just as it often fol
lows a dog tight, a baseball game
or a bridge party. But that’s just
chance, and the rain would have
come, battle or no battle.
How did people first get the no
tion that rain followed battle? P> >b
ably because troqp pavements, pre
ceding a battle ate best carried out
during fair weather, a dry spell na
turally comes before a rain.
One might just as well reason
that fair weather precedes a bat
tle.
Maybe you were raised on a
farm and acquired a lot of super
stition about the moon's effect on
weather. Many generations of soil
tillers always planted seed in “the
dark of the moon."
* The Weather Bureau again step
in, and says modern science “is
unable to find any evidence that
the moon affects the weather to
any appheciable extent."
The movements of our atmos-
11/’I 1 /’ a ,
phere generate our weather changes
These movements represent the dis
sipation or using up of a great
amount of energy in the form of
heat. This heat comes from the
sun. The moon is a cold dead
planet and sends no heat to us. So
it can’t influence the weather no
ticeably.
The moon, polling on the earth,
does cause a tide in the air, same
as it causes ocean tides. But de
dicate measurements show that, this
moon-caused air tide is insignificant
in its effects.
Wither is regulated by the sun,
almost entirely.
OPINIONS OF j
OTHER EDITORS j
SOVIET “TERRORISM.”
Mr. Samuel Gompers is satis
fied with the refusal of the ad
ministration to recognize the
Soviet government. ‘ (
Mr. Gompers says that labor s
positios is ono of unqualified op
position to any relations with
“Soviet terrorism.” . ■ . ■
The conclusion of President
Colidge, he maintains, is in ac
cord with that of Woodrow Wil
son and Warren Harding. Some
of the Senators and Representa
tives have given declarations of
friendship for the, Soviet auto- .
cracy. ‘lt is imperative that
American labor make unmistaka
bly clear its condemnation of the -
proposals of Moscow that free
America enter into negotiation
with the Soviets.”
Senator Borah, strange to say,
believes in playing with the Bol
shevists. This is not the only
thing that Borah is wrong about.
If there is one thing the Soviets
would like to bring about it is
■their long sought goal of rela
tions with the United States. But
there can be no negotiations
where there is not mutual trust.
Senator Borah ought to know that
any compromise with the Soviets
is a victory for them. Outlaws
and brigands commonly act upon
that principle.
That the Soviets exist to make
war on American institutions and
principles recent disclosures in
Washington have abundantly
shown. It has spent money and
sent secret agents to overthrow
our government and our social or
der. It has spread Communist
propaganda and is trying to or
ganize a Red army over here to
unsettle things. They are a seri
ous menace.
As long as the people remain
sane they will not barter Ameri
can principles for material ad
vantage. Mr. Gompers has amidst
all his career remained an Ameri
can and an uncompromising ene
my of Socialism and Commun
ism. He deserves to be upheld
by the people. He never showed
to better advantage than when
denouncing the Soviet approach.

(From the Times-Recorder. Dee.

Roy Black, the young son of
Mrs, Mary Black residing on Taylor
street, may lose an eye as the re
sult of a negro’s aarelessness.
While walking near the court

POLITICS
Kupper Bier o fHoboken, is 104
years old—and head of a family of
142 Republican voters. This will
interest Democrats who believe Re
publicanism is hereditary. Republi
cans might dig up a similar case ap
plying to Democrats.
If every man lived to Kupper’s
age and had as many direct descend
ants, a few generations would find
people packed together as closely
in this country as sardines in a tin.
Death is necessary to make room
and opportunity for th e newcom
ers. Generations are like the waves
that forever roll in, one after an
other, on the ocean coast.
WHY
On his 104th birthday, Kupper
Bier, attributes his long life to his
wife’s excellent cooking. This is
true in many cases, but it couldn’t
be a general rule, for more stom
achs ar e ruined by good cooking
than by bad cooking. People who
eat too much should restrict them
selves to foods that taste like saw
dust and hay,
The only people who needn’t
worry about their diet are editors.
As is well known, editors rarely die,
they just dry up and blow away.
FLYING
It’s only a little more than 20
years since the Wright brothers
made the first airplane flight. The
Wrights used a propeller to drive
their plane. Probably got the idea
from ship propeller used in water
just as the first railroad cars looked
,iike stagecoaches apd the first autos
like buggies. Hard to shake prece
dent.
Throughout the 20 years of
heavier-than-air flying, no one
thought of using any propelling
agent other than a propeller. Now
a Frenchman invents something en
tirely new. Kis plane has no pro- j
peller. It is driven ahead by ex
ploding gases—like a skyrocket. Itj
permanent, though this fact can
not yet be determined.
A very happy occasion marking
the festivities of Christrtias day was
quietly arranged by a number of
friends of Mr. Crawford Wheatley,
consisting of the presentation of >a
magnificient loving cup. The cup
was presented to Mr. Wheatley in
a very happy speech by Mr. R. S.
Broadhurst to which Mr. Wheatley
responded in characteristic vein.
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Williford left

HACIADDEM
W<lple I have shown that the term
fast is a mjsnomer when any food
either liquid or solid, is taken into the
body, the word is still used, however,
to designate either a partial fast or
the abstinence from all but one specific
kind of food. Personally I prefer to
use the word “diet” instead of “fast”
to express this exclusive and restricted
form of diet. But as the term “fruit
fast” has become generally known, I
wish to give a few helpful hints in
regard to this kind of diet. The term
“fruit” is a very elastic one and in
cludes a vast amount of food mate- I
rial of varying nutritive qualities. It is
well to state I shall use the term
“fruit” in its broadly accepted sense,
entering into no merely academic ques
tions as to whether watermelons are
fruits or vegetables. In what I shall
have to say, I shall treat all food of
this nature as fruits.
An acid fruit diet is to- a certain
extent of value as a means of replac
ing a fast where an abstemious regi
men is needed and one does not pos
sess sufficient power to fast entirely.
This more especially refers to acid
fruits alone, for, by combining sweet
with acid fruits, one o can be completely
nourished in every respect. Even the
acid fruits alone contain about all the
elements that are needed to nourish
the body, and one could live on them :
for an indefinite period, though of I
course he would not be as satisfactor- I
ily nourished as he would on a more I
nutritious diet. For the convenience of ■
those who might not fully understand
what we mean by acid fruits, 1 would '
say that the following are the principal i
fruits of this character: Apples, apri
cots, blackberries, cherries, grapes, :
grape-fruit, lemons, limes, nectarines,
oranges, pears, pineapples, strawber
ries and plums. There are other acid
fruits, but these represent the principal I
varieties that are in common use. The '
acid fruit is distinguished by what
might be termed partially sour taste,
although as a rule it does not possess
enough of this make
the taste unpleasant. Lemons and
limes, for instance, contain more of the |
acid characteristics than other fruits?
Grapefruit and pineapple furnish a j
strong acid 'flavor, which as a rule is
not unpleasant. The sweet fruits in
common use are classed as follows:
Bananas, figs, persimmons, raisins and
dates. Though the bananas are classed
as a sweet fruit they can hardly be
referred to in the same class as dates,
figs, raisins and sweet fruits of this 4
variety. * Bananas are more closely al- I
lied to bread than any other fruit.* in
some countries they are as staple an
