Greer during the course of a heated

Vidalia. —Practically all the gins in
this section have started and the cot
ton movement is in good swing. Both
gins at this place are running and ten

Adolp Parks was arrested, and though
he gave up several pints left in stock
and warned his prospective customers
to stay out while the plain clothes
man was closeted with him, he stren
uously remonstrated when the offi
cer tried to get possession of an in

HE CARRIED AN UMBReLLA.
A dear old lady who was very "sot"
in her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. Sue had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse —at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
questioner, "He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not—he is a
‘softie.’ ”
"But,” said her friend, also looking
out of the window, "here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. “But
that's another matter —I don't like him
anyhow—and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella,'' she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola'" They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf
feine that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quali
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
—their answer is similar to the old
Indy's—they say "But that’s another
matter” —what they mean is "Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine.”
We think the joke is on them —for
caffeine is caffeine, and if it is not
harmful in one*lt can’t be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee—that it is
really helpful in whatever it is—this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
Os course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair Let us be fair.—Adv.
Osler Says, “Live Today.”
"The day of man’s salvation is to
day. Make the limit of your life the
twenty-four hours of the day; live
earnestly and you will have a vaccine
that will insure you against all mor
bid thoughts. The first two hours of
a day determines the day. If you have
been romping with the younger Aphro
dite the night before you will be as
bleary-eyed as a fish when you get
up, and the day will be lost.” —Sir
William Osler, M. D., in address at
Yale.
ECZEMA DISFIGURED FACE
Hampton Springe,Fla.—"l bad had ec
zema on my face and hands for about
three years. My face was badly dis
figured. The eczema broke out in
pimples and itched so very badly I
would scratch it all the time. It. was
the most irritating disease I ever had.
It started on my face and hands and
it spread all over my body. I had
great large sores all over me, caused
from the eczema. It bothered me day
and night so that I could not rest
at all.
“I used three remedies for skin dis
ease and they didn’t give relief at all.
I was almost terrified until a friend
recommended Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment to me. They helped me from
■ the time I started to use them. I only
i used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and
was cured.” (Signed) Mrs. E. C. Park

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO. GEORGIA.
DISTURBED AT HIS BUSINESS
Burglar’s Neat Plea Might Have Been
Followed by Claim That He Was
Being Persecuted.
Gov. William C. McDonald of New
Mexico remarked at a recent banquet
that no matter how serious the pre
dicament he may be in the average
American rarely ever forgets his
sense of humor.
Some time ago, the governor said, a
burglar was caught in the act of add
ing to his riches in one of the big
cities and arrested. On the following
morning he was haled before a mag
istrate.
"So your name is Jones,” said the
magistrate, asking the usual question,
"have you any occupation?”
"Yes, sir,” was the unruffled re
sponse of the burglar, "I am a lock
smith by trade, yer honor.”
“A locksmith, eh?” repeated the
magistrate. "What were you doing
when the police entered the house?"
"Working at my trade, yer honor,”
promptly answered the burglar. "I
was making a bolt for the door.” —

Caused Her Little Inconvenience.
A New York letter tells of a west
ern girl, unused to the insidious cock
tail, who was dining in a Broadway
lobster palace. The dinner apparently
was given in her honor. She gulped
down her cocktail manfully but with
a wry face. During the dinner her
hostess noticed that her cheeks were
flushed, that her eyes sparkled and
her face beamed. The hostess felt a
little concerned about her, but why, it
was hard to say, as she was not Jn the
chicken .class. Perhaps it was because
of the loudness of her laugh and con
versation. Anyway, the hostess leaned
across the table to whisper to her,
"Why, Kate, do you feel that cock
tail?" "Oh, yes,” was the westerner's
reply with beaming face, “f feel it,
but thash all right. It doesn’t annoy
me in the slightest.”
Intelligent Repair Man.
A woman had called at the elec
trician's shop to say that a repair man
ought to come up to her house, as the
electric bell would not ring. A day
passed, and the. repair man did not
make his appearance, so she ventured
down to the shop again.
"How is it. you didn’t send a man to
fix my bell?" she asked.
“I did send him,” replied the em
ployer. “He came back and told me
that he rang three times and there
was no answer, so he took it for
granted that no one yas at home.” —
New York Evening Post.
Witchcraft.
In many parts of the world—Greece,
for instance—-the believer in witch
craft still gets hold, by hook or by
crook, of hair, nail parings and so
forth from an enemy’s head and bands
and burns, buries or does something
else with them in order to entail un
pleasant consequences upon that, ene
my. And universal folklore reveals
the concern of savages to dispose of
their own hair and nail clippings to
prevent an enemy from getting at
them. Australian native girls, having
had a lock of hair stolen from them,
expected speedy death as a certainty.

Effecting a Compromise.
The president of a western college
was spending some time in a large
eastern city. In order to study condi
tions in the city he occasionally took
his meals in the poorer restaurants.
One morning the waitress brought him
some breakfast food that was wormy.
He called her attention to the fact. The
waitress said she would go into the
kitchen and see what could be done
about it. In a few moments she re
turned, and said: “Since the breakfast
food is wormy, you may have it for
five cents.” —Harper’s Magazine.

Appreciative Guest.
A somewhat parsimonious couple in
Edinboro invited a friend to dine with
them on a Monday, and when the joint
was laid on the table it proved to be
the remains of Sunday’s roast heated
up. Whereupon the guest remarked
that this appeared to be “an’ auld
frien’ with a new face.” This, however,
did not prevent his doing justice to
the fare provided, and upon departing
he said: “Well, good-night; I’ve had
an enjoyable evening, and you have
always the consolation that it hasn’t
cost you much.”
