RELIEF FUND
FOR THE SICK
Decided that Money Contributed
By Citizens Shall Be Used for
Sick Where Necessary.

The executive committee Of the citi-
zens' relief committee, and a commit
tee from the city council held Joint
meeting yesterday to discuss primari-
" the disposition of the donations TO
the relief fund. The meeting was the
outcome Of a letter addressed TO the
council by W. K. Hyer, Jr-, chairman OF
the executive committee, stating that
it was the sense of the committee that
balance Of the money contributed to
the relief fund be used for provisions,
nurses. etc. instead Of using iC TO
clean up the city. The sense of the
communication was that this was the
wiser policy on account of the increas-
ing demands from the numerOus pa
tients about the city.
The question was thoroughly gone
over and discussed from all stand
points. The mayor was not in favor
OF making the proposed use OF the
funds inasmuch as the money, he con-
tended. had been donated for the pur-
pose Of cleaning up the city and eXter-
minating the fatal mosquitoes. An IN
derstanding was, however, readily
reached and it was DECIDED to expend
100000 towards the care of the sick
and the remaining $4,000 to go to-
wards the present war on the mOsqui-
toes.
The entire amount will be judicious-
ly spent, but, on account Of the increas-
ing demands upon it, it is possible that
the remaining sum viii fall short Of
what will be actually required to carry
on the work and to care for the city's
sick.
It is understood, however, that the.
finance committee will recommend the
appropriation of one thousand dollars
to continue the work of cleaning the
city and destroying the mosquitoes.
Much good viii no doubt be accom-
plished with these amounts towards
improving the sanitary conditions.

Facts About the American Indians

Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair.
The American Indian accustomed
from time immemorial to go bare
headed In all kinds of weather is
never troubled with falling hair or
badness.
The close atmosphere caused by
our civilized head-gear is conclusive
to the breeding Of infntesimal germs
which dig into the scalp and thrive
or the sap Of the hair-root.
This true cause Of badness is Of re
cent discovery and explains the nOu-
badness as a functional disorder.
Newbro's Herpicide Is a direct ex-
terminator Of the germ. 1T destroys
the cause and permits the hair TO
grow as nature intended.

Not Satisfied.

A naval officer is said to have told
the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post that the
navy would not be satisfied until it
had seventy battleships. At present
prices such feet would cost the
taxpayers of this country at least
$550,000,O00. 1T is interesting to
note" says the Boston Herald, ''that
before We were a-world-powering q
naval board laid down a compre.
hensive plan Of our desirable naval
strength and placed our needs at
just ten battleship." But what ie
the use of being a World Power if
We are not going TO be a World
Power? Being the greatest nation
in the world, naturally We ought to
have the biggest navy. At least
that is the argument which appeals
to the judgment of our most expert

Chas. Petty, in Progressive Farmer
The average lands of this Pied
mont region are short on humus.
Guano and cotton will not furnish
it. Very little forest land is cleared.
The cid lands after holding crops
for many years are much run down.
II red clover would grow here, that
would be an admirable source OF
humus. But it is difficult to get a
stand that will go through May.
Peas are our great dependence.
There is nothing better. Any one
knows how to SOW or plant and cul-
tivate them. The best varieties Tor
forage and land improvement are
the Unknown md Clay peas. The
former is stocky plant with a large
root and not disposed to run when
thick. The Iron pea is advertised
in the lower part of :the State as
superior to either of the above, as it
remains green till frost and does not
shed it's leaves. The early varieties
like the Whippoorwill, the white
pea, the sober pea and black pea are
excellent, and on fairly rich land
8ill make forage and peas They
may be sown up to the middle OF
July, especially on bottom land.
The late varieties are best to bring
up worn out land. They may be
sown from the Goth of May to the
1st Of July. The first two weeks of
June is the best time. Sow bush-
ell to the acre. Plow them in with
long tongue plows, or half shovels,
and run q drag or smoothing har-
row over the land to prepare it for
the mower.

sThat Awful Stroke. -

q. P. Gibson, in Cheraw Citizen.)
Mr.. McLaurin was first introduced
by the county president, Mr.. Tindal,
and for more than one hour discussed
the great and important cotton
situation. He was frequently greet
ed with prolonged applause, for his
speech, which was published in full
in several of the daily papers, and
was pronounced by all as being de-
cidedly the speech of the day. But
at the close, when McLaurin gave
the State dispensary that awful
stroke, the crowd came near going
wild with enthusiast; one round Of
applause after another went up from
the crowd, which, in a most unmio-
taxable manner indicated their hearty
approval.
