rel Of spirits has made room for medi- camentS. The rough speech and ribald jest of the camp follower have passed out of existence and the gentle voice of the nurse makes better harmony. The soft hand, the tender touch, the prompt assistance, the careful nursing of women, make. even grim war less grim, and though it's terrorS shall not cease until the word shall be removed from the vocabulary of human speech, we owe 1t to our women that it's con- sequences are less fatal and dangerous.
 The Red Cross service is one of the most magnificent evidences of the hu- manity of the nineteenth century. That service will be supplemented here after by voluntary organizations, com posed of women, and all men who have hearts and hands. These organizations, established all over the country, will have a two-fold object. The first na- turally will be the rendering of active assistance to the humane service in the field
 Tt is absolutely necessary to assist the Government by the private contri- button of all articles that will help to improve the sanitary condition of camp life and to render. prompt service to the wounded or to prisoners. Such humane service, to be sure, has already an interesting history. Its beginnings lie in the patriotism, the loyalty and humanity of women. The century has seen it's growth. Comparatively brief as is the time that separates us from Waterloo, yet we have learned differ ently than to go to balls and parties on the eve of battle. Since '61 our women work. They qualify themselves for hos pital and field service, and those at home are to provide comforts that fall not within the scope of a war depart ment. That comes first; and next the absolute necessity of strengthening the sanitary defenSeS at home.
 "The brief struggle between Prussia and Austria in 1866 cost more lives after peace was made than during the height of battle. From the camp and the field of carnage came an enemy that raV- aged the cities of Europe and convert ed entire communities into graveyards. That enemy was the cholera, twin sis ter to that dreadful scourge of the South, yellow fever. During the four years that preceded the Franco-Ger- man war Europe had learned to pro- tect itself against another attack from that insidious enemy. If we believe in the sanctity of human life let us benefit by the experience. At this time and for the next few months we will be re- quired to exercise the utmost caution lest our country be invaded by an enc my, disease. We need to build for tresses of health on the borders of our country. We need to put our sanitary homes in order. l will be among those

WILL DO MUCH GOOD.

Harry N Morse, the veteran detec- tive, said: Tt is sign of a high civil ization to minister to the dying and to help the wounded who fall fighting for what they believe to be right. It can not be that any one would object to the purposes of the great organization known as the Red Cross Society. You may say that I am for it and that l consider that the organization of a strong corps in this State would reflect glory on the name of the Golden West all over the world. Let the good work go on without interruption. There are plenty of brave women who will join the order when they know its benign purposes and that they are sure to do a vast amount of good and reflect glory on themselves and their posterity by the work

Daughters want part in the pros gramme about to be made for the alle- viation of the sufferings of the soldiers who have gone to the front.
 They place themselves at the dis posal of the auxiliary to the Red Cross. trusting that what experience they have gained and what training they have had will make them helpful asso- ciates.
 The ambulance belonging to the so- clety-whtch was bought by members or the Doctors Daughters, Mrs. Her man Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair IS at present in use at the Receiving Hospital, otherwise we'd gladly turn it over to the Sanitary Commission.

State Farm Profits Dwlndle
on Close Inspection.

Columbia. S. c., Jan 26.-From a
member Of the ways and means COM
mittee | learn that the big parade
about the handsome profits on the
State farms are much matter of book
keeping Instead of a profit of Sl0,-
600, the appropriation to that institu
ton cuts the matter down to mora
than half that amount. to wit: $4,
500 OF course profit is better than
a deficit, but facts should be clearly
stated.
The question of what the State
farm shall raise bobs up in the shape
of resolution requiring the superin
tendent to decrease his cotton acre
age SO per cent Good farmers in
both branches, and there are some
good ones, men who make money,
say that they are afraid the question
of profits from the State farm will
soon be like the profits in the dispen-
sary-powerful small.
