4 KNOTTY PROBLEM

Recent inspection made here by
state officials show that there is vital
need of a centrally located slaughter
pen conducted in sanitary manner.
Members of the city council have al
ready admitted that this is a need that
should be supplied, but they claim
that it is up to the meat dealers of the
city to provide such convenience
The solution of this problem is one
that should command the most earnest
attention both of the members of
council and of the dealers who handle
these goods. Every one concerned has
admitted that such an arrangement g
desirable. 1t now remains for some
plan to be devised whereby such d
central slaughter house can be pro-
vided jointly by those who deal in
meats or by some one who is able to
furnish all the capital for the slaugh-
ter house.
The city council, while it admits the
necessity of cleaner and purer meats
such as may be secured much more
readily by central slaughter house,
shows also that it is unable to provide
funds for the construction of such an
establishment 1t will, therefore, be
necessary for this slaughter house to-
be constructed by outside capital.
There IS where the rub comes. That
is the real problem which must be
solved.
Though no satisfactory solution O..
it has yet been made, it is believed
that one will be Forthcoming. Ameri-
Gus is too thoroughly alive to the need
OF pure meats to allow the old system
to come back into use again. There
must be some satisfactory solution OF
this matter within the limits that have
been set here. 1t is for this solution
that the people of the city are waiting.
They will hope for a speedy arrange
ment of matters whereby pure meats
may be guaranteed to them in the
future.

HARD TO MAKE A PERFECT BOOB
National Magazine

A London publish once determined
to publish at least one book which
should be faultless in the matter Of
errate. He had the proofs corrected
by his own proofreaders with the
greatest care until they had exhausted
their skill and patience and assured
him that there were no longer any err
rors to be eliminated.
Taking duplicate proofs of the last
revise he sent them to the universities
and other large publishing houses, Of
fering large money prizes for each err
ror discovered. Few errors only were
found, and after every one had a
chance to detect any additional errors
the plates were made, the book was
printed, extensively bound and sold as
an absolutely perfect book unique n
all literature.
For a long time this as conceded;
but six or eight month"; after its pub
LEGATION a letter called the publishers
attention to an error in a certain line
and page. Later a second was announc
ed, and before the first year had elaps-
ed four or five errors had been re-
ported.

OUR FRIGID sun
Center of Solar System Has Low Tenn
perature, Compared With Some
Stars

CTranslation in the Literary Digest
Compared with some other stars, our
6 In is rather cool Recent measurements
show that there is at least one star
with temperature 80 times as great
In fact, our sun ranks low among the
brilliant stars. Yet the heat given off
by our sun hourly has been reckoned
as equal to burning a layer of coal 20
feet thick over the suns entire surface
-maying our coal trust seem like a
puny affair, and its prosecution about
on a par with pinching a baby. Meas
urements made in Germany are de-
scribed in Cosmos by a writer who
tells US that DR. Rosenberg of the Os-
terberg Observatory at Tubingen, Wurt
teburg, studied photographically, from
1907 to 1908, the spectra of the 70 most
brilliant stars of the northern hem.-
sphere, whose brightness is between
the first and third agnitudes, to deter
mine how differences of intensities
are distributed to their spectra. By
systematic comparison with the spec
trum of the sun, he has deduced the
effective temperature of these stars.
According to these investigations.
the hottest star among those consid-
cred is Gamma of the constellation
Pegasus, of the magnitude 2.S7, ac-
cording to the Harvard photometric
classification, whose temperature
reaches the astonishing figure of 400
600 degrees Centigrade and the cold
est is Alpha Tauri, or Alderbran
magnitude 1,06), with only 2,150 de-
grees, temperature lower than may
be reached in our terrectrial labora-
tories
The. temperature at the top OF Dr.
Rosenbergs scale is quite exceptional
for the next in order falls to $4,000
degrees, that Of the star Gamma OF
Cassiopeia. On the other hand, at the
lower end of the scale We find a doz-
Ell stellar bodies whose temperature
is only equal to or lower than that of
the electric arc.
The lowest temperatures obtained
by DR.. Rosenberg accorded perfectly
with those determined by Wilsing ami
Soheiner, of Potsdam Observatory, but
the highest exceeded greatly the meas
urements of these two astronomers.
1t seems clear that the highest tenn
peratures correspond to stars contain.

THE REAL CALIFORNIA ANIMUS
(Southern Ruralist.)


The people responsible for this
hostile action do not object to Japa-
nese as such They are welcome as
laborers, servants and business men.
1t is only to the Japanese farmer tn 1t
California objects He may do any
thing except own and independents
lease farm land for his own use.
There are only 5000 Japanese farm
ers in the state; they occupy an ag-
gregate of only about $4,000 acres OF
land. The total number of Japanese
in California is less than per cent OF
her population, and the number IS
steadily decreasing.
The real trouble is that Californians
are proverbially poor farmers. They
like to be called ranchmen, and pom
ologists, instead of farmers. The state
has become the refuge of men looking
for an easy climate and easy time.
Foreigners do most of the real work.

The Japanese are good farmers, rep

COTTON GROWING IN WEST
AFRICA
From Consular Reports0


During the first three months OF
1918 there were 1882 bales of cotton, or
1861 $40 pounds, valued at $97,5O1, eX-
ported from Southern Nigeria, west
Africa against 971 bales, or 3Sl ,8O3
pounds. valued at S37,529. during the
first three month of 1912. The local
price obtained for this cotton ranged
from 9 to 10 cents per pound. Though
this is an increase over previous years
and the prospects as stated recently
by the president of the British Cotton
Growing Association, are that west
Africa will produce a crop this year OF
ouite 10000 bales, the tendency is to-
ward no large production for export
from West Africa during the near III
ture, the production per acre being too
small, averaging not over 200 pounds
The climatic conditions-the long
dry spells and the long wet spells
are against the growth of cotton on Z
large scale.
There were 33,3O3,552 pounds Of
palm oil and 32,729 tons of palm kern
els exported from the colony during
the first quarter Of 1918, a decrease OF
1000 900 pounds of oil and of Ats
tons of palm kernels as compared with
+bo Sana nariod in 1912

SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS
WHY NOT you?


The Editor of the Cotton
and Cotton Oil News, of
Dallas, Texas, states in his
paper that he knows OF a
farmer who sold ten bales
of certified cotton to the
Southern States Cotton Cor
poratiOn when cotton was
l2c. He received $45 cash
per bale and $50 in script
He was offered 75c on the
dollar for his script, took it
and thus received $3.50 per
bale for his cotton, or 81 so
per bale more than the mar
ket price less 81 per bale for
certification, or a net profit
over his neighbors who
sold by the old system of
$65.OO. We wish to say
that no one connected with
the corporation is permitted
to dis count script at any
time. What those who hold
scrip wish to do with it is
a matter entirely beyond
the control of the corpora
ton. MIR. Farmer, don't

tativeS of the Southern

A YEAR OF LATE, FROSTS

Those here who have wondered a.
the frosts SO late in the season will
doubtless be interested in what the
Florida Times-Union has to say about
the destructiveness of the frosts this
season. The following editorial gives
summary of the damages by frosts
this season:
Severe frosts occurred along the
North Atlantic seaboard, extending as
far south as Western North Carolina
and into Ohio and Michigan, early in
May, as our readers may remember.
Now comes news of another such dis
aster. Damaging frosts last Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday nights visited
the Middle States, the Ohio valley, the
eastern lake region, New Jersey and
parts of Northwest Virginia, even
Western Carolina and nearly the
whole of Kentuvky, being the extent OF
territory affected.
After the May frost, which cut down
Strawberries, potatoes and other veg
etables and small fruits besides SER
iOusly damaging the larger fruits
through most of the territory it af-
fected, farmers replanted such crops
IS gave any hope of maturing within
what was left of the growing season,
but complained of shortage of seed
II is to be presumed that this more re-
cent frost has killed all the more ten
der vegetation, including what was
replanted, provided the latter was
not, the lateness of the season being
calculated to arouse false hopes and
over confidence in the minds of most
of the farmers 1t is too late to re-
plant now, and seed is probably more
scarce than ever
| To be sure the temperatures of Sun
day night, according to official re-
ports, ranged from "A at Washington
to IS at such points as Atlantic City
New York and Chicago, but, as Direc,
tor Mitchell points out, the rural reg
ions, taken within a few feet of the
ground, will show from ten to fifteen
degrees lower temperatures than those
in the nearest cities. There is nc
doubt that the farmers through large
section of the country were hard hit
carly in this week and their last hopes
dashed to the ground asso ~
This means fer the Florida farmer
that his products will be in demand at

products, will be scarce in all tina

CAPTURED IN CANADA
Harry Thaw's Flight Arrested at
st. HernenoiIde

Sherbrooke, Quebec. Aug. 10
Harry X. Thaw was arrested yester-
day at the village of ST Hermenin-
glide, and is now in a cell in the
county Jail, preparing to fight ex-
tradition. He faces deportation on
the grounds of undesirable citizens
and extradition by the United States
on a charge of conspiracy. In the
opinion of the local authorities, this
charge is not sufficient, however.
The officials have received word
that the district attorney of Duchess
county in which Matteawan is To-
Gated, is on his way here prepared to
swear TO a warrant charging Thaw
with bribery, an eXtraditabIe offense.
Thaw claims he was merely passing
through Canada on his way to De-
troit when his passage was inter
rupted by his arrest. He exhibited
what he claimed to be transporta-
ton to Detroit in support of his
claim and cited the case of Jack
Johnson to bear out his contention
that he cannot be sent back to the
United States by the Canadian au-
thorities so long as he was simply
passing through the country and in
tends to go beyond its borders.
New York Wants Him
District Attorney Conger, of Dut-
chess county, New York, it is under
stood here, wants Thaw deported
and returned to the United States
over that part of the international
line touched by the state of New
York. Thaw came into the Dominion
from New Hampshire, however, and
if custom is followed, he would go
back to New Hampshire.
The Canadian immigration de-
partment at Ottawa has wired the
chief of police here to hold Thaw
under the immigration act, indicat-
ing that steps will be taken to de-
port him.
