WHITE CAPS IN SOUTH
Force Thoi'sands of Negroes to
Work in Fields.
Cotton Crop Saved Action of Night
Riders Wearing the Garb of
the Kuklux Klan.
Greenville, S. C.-—While the old
Kuklux Klan of reconstruction days
Is being revived in some parts of
the South In a fraternal spirit for law
and order, the hooded rii^'ht raiders
in long, flowing white gowns have, actu
ally made their appearance in South
Carolina as a means of forcing certain
planters to pay less for cotton pick
ing and also forcing thousands of ue
groes to work.
White Caps, several hundred
strong, with horses and riders clad iu
the Kuklux Klan garb, have ridden
into several towns in the slate, prin
cipally in Floreuce county, and as a
result the cotton tields the next day
were thick with cotton pickers and
the housewives have all the help In
the way of co.'ks and wash women
they desire.
Farmers now see a way out of the
ruin which faced them by the de
terioration of cotton turning blue In
the fields for a lack of pickers. The
White Caps appeared in Lake City
for a second time. First they called
on St>me farmers who had been pay
ing as much as $1.50 a hundred
pounds for picking cotton and sug
gested to them that this was too
much. The price fell to $1 iu a
twinkling.
The cavalcade then proceeded to
the negr<» section and threw out sev
eral hints to the effect that more
work and less loatitig around would be
required. Hence the new hordes of
piokers and multitude of cooks and
washers today.
WHO'S AFRAID?
All ingenious Scotchman has brought
his neighbors, separated from him by
a river, within easy reach by means
of n conveyor wire which he has
stretched across the stream and to
Which he has attached i net basket
large enough to hold and carry any
member of his family. The plcturt
shows one of his children In the net
currier, in which she has made hersell
comfortable for the trip over tin
stream. It is the usual way for the
family to cross to the so-called main
land. saving a long walk to the near
est bridge.
The contrivance is not unlike one ol
the forms of apparatus used by life
savers along the coasts, with block
tackle and pulley lit tings, which pro
vide for the carriage either with the
help of some one on shore or by means
of a double wire whereby the occupanl
of the net carrier may propel himself
This Scotchman lives in Glenesk
famous for the product of its distil
leries. Esk Is the Scotch word foi
river, and Glen indicates the land
through which it flows. As Scotland
abounds both in ri^rs and glens, th<
name is not uncommon. There Is alsr
a river of the name in Ireland. Th<
scene of* the short-cut carrier is 01
one of the rivers flowing into tht
Firth of Forth and having its source
In the Grampian Hills.

Yiborg. Finland. — Hiring Finnist

business in the border towns south ol

I PRODUCE NEW LIQUID FUEL
Spirit Known as "Natallte," Made In
Papua, Put on Market Cheaper
Than Gasoline.
The rivers In the sugar-growing dis
tricts of Australia will run less sweet
ly now that the government has re
' moved the excise duty of a shilling a
I gallon, which has made unprofitable
I the local manufacture of Industrial
! alcohol. Every year, so writes a eor
| respondent of the I.ondon Times
I Trade Supplement from Sydney, hun
I dreds of thousands of gallons of
I molasses have been run Into those
J rivers because there was no profit in
using the molasses to make alcohol;
| but the removal of the duty cotnes as
I nn Important part of the movement
| now uuder way to replace petrol with
I Industrial alcohol and thus make Aus
tralia able to produce her own liquid
I fuel.
One Immediate result has been the
formation In Australia of an impor
tant company to manufacture indus
trial alcohol: and one future result
seems to be that Australians who now
speak of petrol will eventually say
"natallte." In Natal a patent spirit
which has been given this new name
is already being marketed at a price
lower than petrol, and the making of
this liquid fuel Is about to be under
taken on a large scale In Vapua, where
I plants and trees have been discovered
| that are expected to yield about 73
gallons a ton. A hundred square miles
I of country have been reserved on
I which some 5.500,000 gallons of natal
, ite a year are considered a reasonable
} beginning with the likelihood of In
I creasing the output to at least 18,
j 000,000 gallons when a system of re
; planting the land has been put in
i operatioi.. The plan goes further, and
| will seek t<> engage farmers to co
I operate by raising crops of sorghum,
i with an estimated yield ol' $0 gallons
I of industrial alcohol to the ton, for
u share in the profits.
j AS HE SIZED UP THE VISITOR
! Hotel Clerk Was Pretty Sure That He
Was Not Likely to Come in i
Very Early.
| Cortlandt Hleeker said at a New,
• Tork roof-garden supper:
1 "Apropos of New York as a summer
| resort, ! heard a story the other day.
"A westerner blew In here and ap
plied for n room In a hotel. The hotel i
I clerk said to him:
" 'Very sorry, sir, but we're so over-.
j crowded that I'll have to ask you to i
i share a room with another gentleman..
j W ill that do?'
i "'dm. Yes. I suppose so." said the.
j westerner reluctantly, 'but will this)
. chap turn in early? I've got u lot of j
work to do here In New York, and I'll
need a lot of sleep, and I don't want to
I lie disturbed. b,v crinus.'
"The clerk laughed.
"•You'll have your night's rest com
1 plcted before this gentleman ever gets
I in." he said.
•••Sure of that?" said the westerner, j
"'Certainly.' said the clerk. 'YoUj
I see. the man's been stopping with us t
j every August for the hist eleven years.
\ ami this is the fir-;t time he's made the
I trio without his wife.'"

Seeks Invigorating Influence.
i Life's greatest need Is to expose It-1
self to enlightening ami Invigorating j
j Influences. The world is Impatient to:
j Impress Itself en the individual. Like'
excluded sunshine it needs lint an :
opening to flood Itself unstintedly into i
| every nook nnd corner of possible In-1
I fltience. Tlial iloes not mean thai mind
I grows li.v passive acceptance of every-1
| thing that seeks entree. It just mentis :
. that the materials upon which the'
mind should react to grow properly are j
all ahout us trying often In vain to
bestow upon us the benefits we need l
but studiously retect. Everything
i about us. trom bird sung to persplr
I Ing toil, can be made to minister to j
| our well-being If we will turn it to j
i a. count. There's more opportunity ■
| about most of us than we are able to I
J tse. If we grow prematurely old and I
I Aresome It's because we do not open ■
1 ihe windows.
Handle GasoPne Carefully.
| Those who handle gasoline as a mat
I tor of ordinary custom are often quite |
' oblivious to Its potential dangers. An i
: English journal tells of a motorcyclist I
j wiio removed the co>er of his electric i
I born and flushed it out with petrol.
Having replaced the cover he start- j
' ed for a ride.
At the first attempt to use the •
[ horn the resnlt was startling, for i
j there was a terrific explosion and the j
cover crashed into the rider's ribs. [
I The horn was, of course, full of ex- j
I plosive mixture, which was iguited by j
J the electric spark.

To Spell at Pleasure. 'I
' An Iowa professor urges that every | <
[ one should be allowed to spell as he < {
J pleases, to save all the time spent In j j
I learning the prevailing fashion. It | _
I probably would nofsave much time for •
| the. reader of such spelling. With the
| typewriter to do the writing and the
adding Machine to do the arithmetic, j
I and history discarded as useless, free- j
j dom In spelling would go far to do I
j away with the need of any schools at i
| all.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
