Timely Warming to Farmers.

The farmers in the hilly country
should take what DIR. Parker says
about the cotton picker as a warn
ing. AS the State says, "if they
must readjust themselves to a new
agricultural condition, the time for
readjustment is now. 1t would be
folly to go on planting cotton with
out awaking to the truth that they
can't plant 1t proftably until bank
rupcy is upon them, The hili far
ners can lose nothing by shaking
off the belief that so long has op-
pressed them, that they must make
cotton or starve, anyway. They
have learned much about diversity
ing. but they should prepare to di-
versify with such diligence and care
that they will be able to view with
indifference the production Of six or
seven cents cotton elsewhere-if 1t
shall come again. The climate and
the soil are all that it required to
make them independent-the have
but to tnain themselves If they would
snap their fingers at boil weevils on
the one hand and cotton havesters
on the other.'' What The State says
about the hill country is true Of the
whole State. All Of our farmers
should become independent by di-
versification Of crops.

China is Now Awake.

A decade ago all China had only
800 miles of railroad. Today she
has 5000 miles. And 10000 addi-
tional miles have been projected and
will soon be under construction.
There could be no sign of progress
more final or decisive. The man OF
middle-age who remembers with
what savage desperation the Chinese
fought the Introduction Of the
"fire-devil'' into the empire, and at
what peril of life and limb the first
struggling lines were laid down, can
not repress a feeling of amazement
at the revolution il national senti-
ment and receptivity.
The Atlanta Constitution says,
"given an adequate system of rail-
roads they are inevitable, in
relatively short course of time
Chinla's development will proceed
with the rapidity of Jacks bean"
stalk. That means, Of course, that
other and innad9uiable sources OF
basic wealth Will be added to the
worlds supplies. It Is known that
the tSunfower Kingdom. contains
vast deposits of gold and coal, stone
and the varied mi7 erals that enter
into commerce.
"But knowledge respecting the eT-
tent of the lands riches is vague
and measured more by myths than
actuality. Once the railroad begins
it's magic of unfolding, promoters
and surveyors will swarm the land,
foreign capital will pour in in great
volume and a new and tremendous
agency will be projected into the
commercial world. Happily, these
tangible evidences Of the awakening
of China ars almost coincidental
with the completion OF the Panama
canal, which should give this coun-
try and especially the southern
states, long handicap in the bat
tie for commercial supremacy that
will follow in the Orient"

Tribute OF Respect.

Just as twilight was gathering and
ell nature was being hushed to sleep
on the evening; OF June 2, 1911, God
sent his angels and bore to the
realms of Light the spirit or Mrs.
Mary Frances Pike, whom we, the
Eutaw Chapter D. A. r. were honor
ed to count among our number She
is gone. No longer will her presence
cheer US as we gather in our month
ly meetings.; no longer will we feel
that support which comes from a
true and loyal member; but all is not
gone, no, and never will be. The
memory of her whom we all knew to
love still fingers. The Eutaw Chap
ter D. A. R. will be Influenced by
that memory, for very dear to the
heart of an organization is the know
ledge of a member who is true ard
tried.
A breach has been made in a
happy family circle by the reaper,
Death, who. in his gleanings is no
respecter Of age, person or station.
This time he has taken a beloved
wife and loving mother.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. That in the death Of Mrs. Mary
Frances Pike, Eutaw Chapter has
sustained a loss which will be long
felt and that as chapter we
mourn her loss.
II. That the heart of each indi-
vidual member Of this chapter goes
out in loving sympathy to the men,
hers of her bereaved family. May
He that doeth all things wisely and
we'll, and who knows each heart and
how to comfort, go to the sorrowing
sons and daughters, and to that hus-
band, whose heart and home is left
so vacant, and bring them the solace
they need.
III. That we who are left recog-
nize a Ruler omnicient and omnipo-
tent, who overshadows us with a
great love and doth all for the good
of those who trust in Him. There
fore, while we mourn our loss. we
bow in humble submission to the Dl-
vine will and pray that we may each
so live that when our summons
comes, we too may be crowned with
gla.ious immortality and live with
| God forever.
w. That our sympathy be express
ed by sending a copy of these resolu-
tions to the bereaved family; that
they be published in the county pa
pers, and that . page in our record
! book be inscribed to the memory of

The reactionaries in the Demo-
cratic party are tarred with the same
stick that the reactionaries in the
Republican party are tarred with.
They are opposed to Bryan, Wilson,
Clark or any other man that might
enforce the law against the Trusts
should he be elected President.
Some Of these reactionaries call
themselves Democrats and some of
them call themselves Republicans,
but they are neither. They are all
members of the plunderbund party,
and when it comes to plundering
the people they are found standing
shoulder to shoulder. Look around
you, and find out who are the reac-
tionaries in South Carolina.

Gov. Blease says there will be no
change in the State Board Of Edu-
cation before the 18th instant. The
Florence Times says it takes "this
to mean that If the Board does not
allow Governor Blease to bully
them into adopting such books as
suit him ne will remove the whole
bunch of them" This Board is COM
posed of gentlemen who will not do
Gov. Blease's or anybody else's bid
ding and The Times can calm its
fears on that score. The Governor
may remove the Board, but he will
never coerce 1t into doing his will
if he is so inclined.

HELP ABATE THE HOUSEFLY AND
 MOSQUITO.

The Times has been handed by the ladies of the Cosmos Club, two inter- esting pamphlets, one dealing with mosquitoes and entitled "Mosquitos and How to Abate Them" and the other special Bulletin of the Fly Lighting Committee of the American Civic Association, Washington, D. C.,
 The pamphlet dealing with mosqui- tos contains much interesting infor- nation as 10 the habits and descrip- tions of this terrible little pest and contains some valuable suggestions for their extermination or abatement, suggesting the draining or filling in of all pools of standing or stagnant water wherever possible, the treat ming with oil of all standing water which cannot be drained, screened or filled, stating that one ounce of oil will cover fifteen square feet of surface. It also states that places in which it is undesirable to put oil such as water ing troughs for stocks, lily ponds, etc, ', can be kept free of the wrigglers by putting in small Suntshtpumpkinseed, ] top minnows or goldfish, but the edges of the water must be deep, so that the fish can get al the eggs and larvae.
 Another section of the instructions for mosquito extermination, says: See that the plumbing about the place is in perfect order Prevent leakage of pipes or clogging of caves. Inspect all cesspools and see that the covers are absolutely tight and vents screened.
 First do away with or treat all places where mosquitos are known to breed, and then begin work on places where they might breed. Clean away all weeds grass and bushes about ditches, ponds and other possible breeding places, since these affords hiding places for the adult mosquitoes Clean up vacant lots and back yards and keep lawns cut.
 Kill mosquitos which get indoors by fumigatlon with sulphur. formalde- hyde or insect powder The insects will fall to the floor, and should be collected and burned. Pyrethrum powder will stupefy them and even when burned outdoors its smoke will keep mosquitos away from the yicinl- ty. Particularly get rid of them in the late fall or winter for the malaria carriers often hibernate in house cellars ready to produce breeds in the spring.
 The pamphlet further gives the fol- lowing as to the best methods of con- munity work in dealing with the in- sect pests:
 l. The treatment Of large areas must necessarily be done by the state, the town, the board of health or some

Don't permit them near your food, especially milk.
 Don't buy foodstuff where flies are | tolerated.
 Don't have feeding places where flies can load themselves with ejec- tions from typhoid or dysenteric patients.
 Don't allow your fruits and other confections to be exposed to the swarms of flies.
 Don't let flies crawl over the baby's mouth and swarm upon the nipple of its nursing bottle
 Summary. Clean up your premises inside and out, and then as much as you can, see that others do the same. Strike at the root of the evil. The house fly breeds in horse manure, kitchen offal and the like. Dispose of these materials in such way that the house fly cannot propagate. Screen all windows and doors and in- sist that your grocery, butcher, baker and everyone from whom you buy food stuffs does the same. There is more health in we'll screened house than in many doctors visit. How to kill Flies:
 To clear rooms of flies carbolic acid may 5e used as follows; Heat shovel or any similar article and drop thereon twenty drops of carbolic acid. The vapor kills the flies.
 A cheap and perfectly reliable poison which is not dangerous to human life is bichromate of potash in solution. Dissolve one dram, which can be bought at any drug store, in two ounces of water, and add little sugar. Put some of this solution in shallow dishes, and distribute them about the house.
 Stlcky fly paper, traps and poisons are among the things to use in killing flies, but the latest, cheapest and best is solution of formalin, or for maldehyde in water. A spoonful of this liquid put into quarter of a pint of water and exposed in the room will be enough to kill all the flies. To quickly clear the room where there are many flies use pyrethrum powder. This stupefies the flies which may then be swept up and burned.
 The information given is contained in pamphlets sent out by the Ameri- can Civic Association of Washington, D. C., and we regret that lack of space prevents us reprinting the contents of the booklets in full However the good ladies of the city are to be con- mended for the stand they propose to take in this matter, and should be given the support of every citizen in this most laudable undertaking. It has become generally known that the mosquito and fly, besides being most disagreeable pests, are real and ever present sources of danger to human life, and no means should be left un- done to exterminate them or at least to abate the nuisance
 Further information on the subject can be had by addressing Mrs. Alder son or other of the ladies of the Cos mos Club, or the American Civic Association, Union Trust Building, Washington, D. c.
