stands the Subject Thoroughly.
The current presidential year, writes
Chas. 8. Barrett, will probably see
farmers than upon similar occasions
In many decades. On both sides, and
the factions on both sides, the contest
is hot and close. They are playing to
every element to boost their stock. And
the farmer vote will be coaxed and ca
joled and hypnotized by every device
known to ancient and modern poll
tics.
have made 1t no secret that have
been able to be Of service to the farm
ers Of this country because I took the
promises they made at every hallule-
jah meeting to overturn the universe
with several grains Of salt.
II you want to get the most results
out Of the politicians who will be ap-
pealing for your votes from this time
forward, recommend similar course
to you.
There Is, however. difference be-
tween the politician glibly offering all
sorts Of promises and the farmer vol
unfairly offering to do anything under
high heaven to further the common
cause.
Nine-tenths Of the promises the
politicians make with a smiling face
are spoken simply for the purpose OF
catching votes. There Is no desire or
intention to redeem them.
Work a farmer up to boiler-burst-
ing pitch Of enthusiasm at local. or
county or state convention, and he Is
prodigal with his promises-but, at the
time, he honestly believes he will keep
them.
T.to. ,,,hoo he raoob ao hama and
the feeling" has died away, and he
gets busy patching the fences, or re-
pairing the roof or keeping the grass
out Of the cotton, the promise oozes
out Of his mind like water out OF
leaky barrel. Sometimes, too, he gets
suspicious of his officials, jealous OF
other members, dissatisfied because
the Union hasn't reformed the uni
verse overnight, and considers him
self absolved from his pledge. 1t all
amounts to the same thing in the long
run. -,
Because the two parties. with all
their factions, are on their toes, politi-
cally speaking, this year, fighting for
best opportunities recently presented
for the farmer to secure those things,
in a legislative sense, for which he
has long been contending
When the situation crystalliZes, lat
er on, I may have something to say
touching what the politicians offer the
farmers, and how much reliance can
be placed upon specific pledges.
It is as yet too early to gauge the
lineup. and 1t Is the part Of wisdom
to see what congress Is going to do be-
fore we jump to conclusions. or adopt
hasty action.
1 do not look for the present ses-
sion to accomplish wonders in the way
Of legislation Of any sort, since both
parties in house and senate are Jug
Cling for advantage, and have an eye
more to catching popular. favor than
to enacting measures genuinely con-
structive.
But first. last and all the time, bear
in mind that when the temptation
seizes you to get over-heated about
some particular political favorite-
keep your vest down, your head cool
and treat the candidate bidding for
favor with just as much suspicion as
you do the other fellow In a horse
trade.

- Spartanburg, June 10: Pellagra-
phobia, or fear of pellagra, Is a clear
ly defined disease which has been dis
covered by the Thompson-McFa
pellagra commission, sent to Spartan
burg recently by the New York post
graduate hospital for research work.
In an address to the South Carolina
Press association, DR.. Joseph F. Siler.
a member Of the commission, requests
newspapers not to publish sensational
stories about pellagra, the fatality Of
which, he said. had been exaggerated.
He declared the insanity supposed to
result from pellagra was not so much
due to pellagra as to pellagra- -phobia.

We are inclined to think that DR.
Joseph F. Siler is about right as to
this pellagra business The scare was
uncalled for and unnecessary; but we
submit that it is not fair to charge
the responsibility to the newspapers.
If It did not come from the doctors, we
are unable to locate the responsibility.

- Charleston experienced a shock of
earthquake at $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning which did no damage but
scared a number of people who were
awakened with the rocking Of the
buildings. The wave seemed to move
from west to east, and to have been
preceded with a report, as Of an ex-
plosion and then a roar accompanied
the upheaval, and trembling Of the
ground. 1t was the first shock which
has been felt here since April II, 1907.
In Summerville and on the neighbor-
ing islands, the shock was felt. 1t was
quite severe in Summerville, where
several chimneys were knocked down,
plastering fell and no little glassware,
crockery and other fragile articles
were broken In being thrown from
shelves and other elevated places.
Dispatches from a dozen low country
towns and from severai towns north Of
Columbia also report the shock; but
it appears that no damage was done
in any of the towns.

San Francisco-When Is colonies

The colonel is addicted to long
tramps in periods Of rest from the
arduous duties of a soldiers life.
When he recently was granted
months leave Of absence he set out
with his son Edward on walk TO-
southern California, equipped with an
automobile road guide, which, among
other things, contained list OF the
best hotels between San Francisco and
Santa Barbara, the latter city being
the colonel's destination.
After several days the road guide
showed the mixers that they were ap-
preaching Soledad. The travellers had
not shaved for three days; upon their
wrinkled and baggy garments the dust
of the road lay thickly, night was
falling and they were hungry. They
stepped briskly into the lobby OF the
hotel, the colonel in the van. The lat
ter reached for pen to register, when
the proprietor put forth a restraining
hand.

"Why not?" asked the colonel, mild

"This hotel is not for such as you,
replied the manager.
"But am a colonel of the United
States army" said the colonel.
Go tell that to the horse marines,
said the manager, beckoning to
couple of husky porters, and the colo
mel and his son found themselves
swiftly translated to the darkness
without.
The next town was many miles
away and the trampers were tired, so
they sought the sanctuary Of hay
wagon, only to be told to beat it, by
the village constable.
Hence the colonels dislike of Sole

Buffalo, N. Y.-The Rev. Martin P.
Davis and his young bride, married in
this city recently, are now on their
way to Chandkuri, the central pro-
vince of far off India, where they
will spend one of the strangest honey
moons on record. Their destination
in Chandkuri Is the leper colony in
the interior of the province, conducted
by the German Evangelical Mission
airy society, where they take up their
abode, probably nevermore to leave II.
1t is to ameliorate the condition OF
the APT members of the colony that the
young people are making the sacrifice
And there are few who have made
greater. Although, many experts are
of the belief that leprosy is not easily
contracted, the laws of sanitation pre-
scribe isolation for all who have the
disease and those who mingle with
them. The missionaries run more
than passing chance of falling prey
to the disease, as have many before
them. One of the missionaries, Miss

capped Isimalayas, has been a leper
since girlhood.
In a colony such as Chandkuri lep-
ers are given little plots of ground and
they are encouraged to grow mangoes,
lemons, oranges and other Indian
fruits. An effort is made to instill a
spirit CT independence in them. Each
man and woman is given 20 ounces OF
coarse ground wheat day and eight
cents week.
Each leper cooks his own food For
clothing, each man is given four yards
of coarse, strong cotton CLOTH, Az
inches wide, which costs about 80
cents; the women, because OF head
gear they wear, receive two yards
more than the men.
Two childrens homes, for the seGre-
cation of the offspring Of lepers, will
be under the care of Mr. Davis Chill

HONOR TO BRITISH GENERAL.
People of BrockviIIe, Ont, Laud the
Memory of Commander Who Won
Detroit in War OF 1872.

Brockville, Ont.-A monument in
hcnor of the memory Of Gen. Sir
Isaac Brock, who was in command Of
the Canadian forces against the Amer
leans in the war of 1912, was unveiled
in this city with interesting but mod
est ceremonies. The local chapter OF
the Daughters of the Empire, to whose.
efforts the erection of the monument
is due, was in charge Of the ceremo--
MES. The principal address was de.
livered by Col Samuel Hughes, the.
Canadian minister OF militia and de-
Tense.
The date for the unveiling of the
memorial was appropriately chosen,
since it was just 100 years since the
surrender of Detroit, with which
event the name OF General Brock isl
most closely associated in Americana
history.
General Brock was born in tho
island of Guernsey in 1863 and had
a brilliant military career in the BRIT
ish service before he was sent to Can.

Bath for his victory at Detroit, bur
he survived his honors less than two
