SAID TO BE “WORRIED”
EFFORT BEING MADE T 0 PUT
SOUTH IN THE DOUBTFUL
COLUMN ON TARIFF.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Southern
democrats are worried over a wide
spread and determined attempt to put
the south into the doubtiul column
politically on the tariff issue. They be
lieve substantial gains among: the bus
iness interests are being made by the
Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimore,
and other powerful agencies. They see
the hand of Senator Butler, of Massa
chusetts, chairman of the republican
national committee, in the present ag
gressive movement.
North Carolina, which has become
an industrial state, is the center of re
publican activities.
Edmonds’ Stand.
Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers’ Record, omnce a llrce
trade democrat, has become an advo
cate of a protective .tariff. His publi
cation has far-reaching influence 1m
the ssouth, and he is conducting a
campaign for a reversal of p licy. He
says the industrial revolution now
under way in the south cannot be
completed “under firee tradet
Being invited to speak to the South
ern States Republican League, organ
jzed to muster business men lor pro
tection, he wrote a letter _dc;lm
ing, on account of sickness in his fam
ily, in which he states his views thus:
“A protective tariff amply high to
safeguard us against the pauper la
bor of the Orient and the near-pauper
labor of Europe is essential to the
prosperity of the farmers and the in
dustrial interest of the country alike.
“The south needs protection more
than any other part of the country.
“I know that there are thousands
and hundreds of thousands of south
ern men who believe thoroughly in a
protective tariff and who would advo
cate it openly if they felt entirely iree
from the political standpoint of voic
ing in public their views .which in
private they hold.”
President Coolidge was told by a
democratic senator who recently
called on him at the white house that
his (the s_enator's) state would be re
publican if it voted its convictions.
Working on this theory the republi
can leaders are making a hard fight
for gains in Alabama, North Carolina,
Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky for
1928.
CELEBRATES HARVEST HOME
4,000 Employes Participate in Great.
Celebration Near Honolulu., l
A Honolulu dispatch says a ce]ebra-i
tion unique in Hawaiian history occur
red at Ewa plantation, near Honolulu,!
at the conclusion of the harvesting of
the 1925 sugar crop. This celebration,
known as the Harvest Home Festival,
was participated in by more ‘than 4,-‘
000 employes and their families, most
of them Japanese, Filipinos, Chinescé
and Porto Ricans. |
Ewa Plantation Company has justi
taken off a crop of %1,746 tons, which |
is the largest in the plantation’s his-{
tory, and this was the special cause of
the celebration, although it is now pur
posed to make it a permanent affair,
as the laborers entered into it with a
spirit of enthusiasm that speaks well
for the general morale. Each laborer
was given a day's vacation on pay.
Up to five or six years ago it was
supposed that Ewa plantation, with an‘
output of 35000 tons yearly, had]
reached its maximum. But carefu]‘
studies of results in fertiliztaion, irri
gation and seed selection experiments,
and an application of those results to
the plantation, have increased this
yield 20 to 25 per cent.
TEXAS SHEEP SHEARING
‘* STARTED; OUTPUT 5900',000
Fall sheep shearing is now well un
der way in west Texas. It will con
tinue until about November 15. It is
estimated that the 1925 wool produc
tion of Texas will be about 5,000,000
pounds. SR
“The first time I took
Cardul I was in an awful
bad way,” says Mrs. Ora Car
lile, R. F. D. 5, Troup, Texas.
“] went fishing one day. A
heavy storm came up and I
got soaking wet in the rain.
1 was afflicted with awful
smothering spells. I could
not get my breath. My
mother had some
in the house that she was
taking, so she immediately
-began giving it to me. In a
few days I got all right
“Last fall I got run-down
in health. I was weak and
puny and I began to suffer. I
would get so I could hardly
walk. Having taken Cardui
before, I sent to the store for
a bottle of it. Almost from
the first dose I could feel'an
improvement.
“Cardui has helped me a
lot and I am glad to recom
mend it. I dom’t feel like
the same woman I was last
fall. My appetite is good
now, and I'm sure it’s Cardui
that’s made it pick up.”

SCIENTIST DECLARES IT BAD
HABIT THAT INTERFERES
WITH EFFICIENCY.
Sleep ils a bad habit and a luxury
which the efficient man of the future
will do without. Biologically, sleep is
a survival of the prehistoric existence
of man. It will become as unnecessary
as-the appendix is now.
This is the theory of Dr. T. H. Zell,
well known scientist. He deduces his
theory from an extensive investiga
tion of the nature of sleep and a close
observation of the animal kingdom.
Sleep, he says, was the only means
that enabled prehistoric man to live
with beasts and to maintain himself
among them. The human system got
used to it during 200,000 years of pre
historic life, and has not got rid of it
vet in. four or five thousand years of
civilized life in which sleep has lost
its value because man no longer need
liear the beasts. :
i Some Animals Do Not Sleep.
| The vast majority of animals are
‘about during the night. During the
day they rest under the protection of
‘their natural colors. Thev escape ob
servation by staying perfectly quiet
during the day and moving about at
night. None of the night animals
know actual sleep. They merely doze
and at the *same time hear every noise
about them. That is why, even with
‘man, the ear is the last organ to fall
asleep.
‘ Some animals, hke whales, do not
islcep at all. They have no place to
}sleep where they would be safe from
‘their enemies. In the depths of the
sea sleep is impossible. All of which,
says Dr. Zell, does not mean that we
can abolish sleep tomorrow. Sleep is
still necessary, and sleep before mid
night is best, because prehistoric man
climbed his tree as soon as darkness
came. But sleep no longer has any
‘necessary function in the life of a
modern man, and therefore it is only
a question of time when man will out
live it.
INSIGNIFICANT IS MAN'’'S
SPEED RECORD THUS FAR
Flight of the Sun Is Twelve and Half
Miles a Second.
The speed record of Lieut. Al Wil
liams, U. S. N., of 302.2 miles an hour
is not so fast when compared to a
trip of the sun through space. When
it comes to flying the sun accompa
nied by the planets, including the
earth, is doing a strictly non-stop
flight in formation.
The .first flight began in the mys
teries 'of the past. There are no mis
haps in this steady uniform advance
through the universe at he rate of 12
and one-half miles a second. All the
stars are likewise in motion, in vari
ous directions and at various speeds;
speeds not differing greatly, in gen
eral, from that at which the sun is
moving. Just multiply 12 and one-halt
by 60 and see what you get. Then
consider that it would take about 70,-
000 years for the sun to reach Alpha
Centauri, the nearest star, at the rate
it is now moving, even if that star
should obligingly stand still.

CASES OF SHERIFFS MIDDLE
BROOKS OF JONES AND COX
WELL OF LEE SIMILAR.
ATLANTA, Ga—Governor Walk
er has no power to remove from of
fice Sheriff:-J. Clarke Middlebrooks,
of Jones county, who is under an eigh
teen months’ sentence to the federal
prison for viblation of the prohibition
enforcement laws. The only method
of removing a sheriff is through pro
ceedings in the superior court,
A decision by Governor Walker,
handed down when he was attorney
general, holding that the chief execu
tive has no power or authority to re
move a public official, was used in
court by attorneys for John N. Hold
er when Governor Walker made an
effort to remove the chairman of the
highway commission.
A situation similar to that in Jones
county also exists in Lee county, it is
said, where Sheriff Phillip C. Coxwell
was convicted in federal court of a
violation of the prohibition enforce
ment law. The bonding company that
was on Sheriff Coxwell’'s bond has giv
en notice of its withdrawal, and Gov
ernor Walker has called upon the
sheriff to execute a new bond.
