John Sharp Williams the following handsome compliment: "Not since the days of Randall and Carlisle have the Dtinoctats had ti leader who, tried by, lhis,tes;, was competent to lead. The result has been that the party was split into factions, with little in common but a name. No one holding the omce ol nominal leader had the in tellectual and moral force to subdue the refractory, jealous elements and weld by judicious discipline into, a solidarity. Some part of them were always plotting with the other side for personal and sectional favors, and thus were seduced to contribute to thwart any firm, enduring alignment ill suppoit of professed principles. Mr. Williams lias sue-' deeded where others have failed. He has won his ovn followers to loyalty, or at all eventl to a loyalty more cordial and efficient than has been known for years. He has ac complished this by the wisdom, courage, Uetfulncss and comrade ship of his personal bearing toward those on whom he was dependent for support." Cannot Join K. of P. The question "Has the Catholic Church placed a ban on the Knights of Pythias?", has been answered authoritatively and one of the lead ing dignitaries of the church in this country states that a member Uh membership in the Catholic church and ill the Masonic fraterni ty wis forbidden by the church of Rome, but there appears to have been some question for many years regarding the attitude of the church toward the K. ol P's. Tne follow ing letter written by Archbishop John Ireland sellles the matter: '1 be Knights of Pythias are un der the ban of the Catholic church by ol ier of the authorities of Rome, ai"' 110 Oalliolics arc allowed to be- onie members of the order. It is not a matter for local priests or bishops to discuss. Some distinct ion is made as to members who joined the association before the or der was issued from Rome. With some changes in the wording of the ritua it is quite possible that the ban would he raised. " Williams would probably be most available, because the supposed weakness of his being a southerner would really augment his strength. His name would doubtless concen trate the support of both the Parker and the Hearst following in the south. Neither of-these men is pop ular enough in that section to hold their own against a movement fir to a northern piejudicc which no longer exists. Tne civil war ended nearly loriy years ago, and the "bh)"dy shirt" was buried in the seventies by President Hayes. .The Public. The Greenwood Commonwealth says: "What the world needs most to-day is the man who knows how to give words of honest, generous appreciation when they are both needed and deserved. No harm was ever yet done by words of frank ap proval of a righteous act. It helps a man tremendously to keep up courage and spurs him 00 to his best and nobles", effort. But the sneer al the i lea of disinterested endeav or; the good work continually ig noted; the unmerited criticism and abue; these have crushed the spirit nf many a man ami made him lose f .ith in himelf and the world." A S i IBTUM Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a start ling test resulting in a wonderful cure.

Fruit growing becomes a more popular industry each year, and there is good reason why it is so, as each new adventure in that direction proves that there is money gool money in fruit raising. This being the case, it is truly no wonder that West Point is becoms ing knoA'ii as a great shipping cen tre for vegetables and fruits of all kinds. The Bsparagus crop, which is about all shipped, has reached something above 1500; while the crop of strawberries which is just now being harvessed will amount to several thousands of dollars. One man alone values his strawberry crop at more than $2000, while a number of smaller growers will swell the amount to a very handsome sum. After these of )ps, there wiil be the bean and pea crop, and later, pears, peaches and plums, all of which promise to be very lucrative. Notwithstanding all this prospec- live supply, we are reliably inform- ed that the demand lor these fruits and vegetables will far exceed the l supply and as a result thereof, there! is yet MrOin for more good farmers: to engage in this lucrative departure ! from tuc old method of farming. j It ia a conceded fact that the truck growers generally have a sum 0 re. d , cash on hand, ar.d are al the same time enjoying a good Mv in;. You seldom hear them com plaining of hard times. It is unquestionably a profitable industry, and as the demand for these products calls for more labor ers in this particular field of agri culture, we see no reason w hy more good faamers should not i ngage in this class of labor ami enjoy its gratifying results. - Dixie Press.

Boys who get tired of going to school -bo ild read the following: The average educated man gets a salary of $1000 piryear. He works forty years, making him a total of $40,000 in a lifetime. The average day laborer gets $1.50 per day, 300 days in the year, or $450 a year. In forty years he earns 40x$450 or $18,000.
