man who expected to succeed in the
Newspaper game was to get there
through a course in the university OF
experience. Dean Williams, who
knew the newspaper art from expert
ence. felt that he was not wrong in
his estimate that it could be taught
the same as the other professions.
In that he was the first practical ex-
ponent Of the school of journalism
in the country. That he was right In
his estimate has been proved out now
by experience. and those who used to
scoff are now pleased to commend
him and the school, of which he is
still the head. for the good that has
been accomplished. - Harrisonville,

A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

Just as a suggestion to promoters
Of world peace, why do not they be-
lin their operations by adopting a
Universal language. Not a whole Ian
;uage. perhaps, but at least ten words.
Misery loves company-in fact,
Misery is happiest when it is unload
yng it's misery on it's company. The
en- words we propose for the new Ian
uage would be admirably fitted for
his purpose, and the happiness that
'ould generate would, We trust. be
efficient to wipe out all national and
acial differences.
For instance, can you not imagine
lie glee with which a Montenegrin
'ould fall upon the neck of a Turk
nd murmur, "Whew; Amt it hot?"
nd would not the cause of brotherly
,,ve be given boost when the Japs
earned to ask Governor Johnson, us

CHECKING BOIL WEEvIL
CULTIVATION THAT ALLOWS
SUN TO KILL PEST.

The cotton plant itself helps
to check the weevil by what is
called prolifcration. When in.
jured many new cells develop
foom the part Of bud or boil
which has been punctured by
the weevlll. In some cases the
egg itself may be moved by this
growth. In other cases the egg
becomes enveloped and thh
larvae destroyed. Early bear
ing enables the plant to produce
it's fruit before the weavils have
become numerous, writes an ex
pert in Southern Farming. A
plant that stops growing in the
fall checks the food supply, be.
cause the discontinuance of fruit
reduces the number Of weevils
that can develop. The presence
of considerable growth of hair
on the stalks and stems presents
an obstacle to the progress OF
the weevil and reduces the daily
capacity for damage of each
insect. In some of the Ameri,
can upland varieties this pro
lection is Of great importance.
The weevil is checked also by
parasites and predatory insect
enemies of numerous kinds. The
government experts have locat,
ed % distinct species of para
sites that attack the weevil.
When the squares are buried
it has been found that the wee
wills would emerge from a depth
two feet below the surface oi
the ground, although Il consider
able percentage died without
escaping from fhe soil. Little
progress has yet been made IL
the search for a successful poi
son or insecticide to apply. Some
help is afforded. however, by q
chain cultivator designed to drag
the fallen squares to the middle
OF the rows, where exposure tc
the sun kills the weevils. Any
cultivator that will draw the
fallen squares to the center Of
the row will have similar effect.
improvements are needed in
ginning machinery to proven,
weevils passing through.

MRS. LoNGsTREEr INDICATED.

The course of politicians does
not always run smooth as is evil
denced in the case of Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet, widow of the ia.
nous confederate general, who
was fred from the postmaster
ship of Gainesville, Ca, to make
a place for a Mrs. H. W. ]. Ham.
The removal of Mrs. Longstreet
vas based upon the report of an
inspector, so the department
said. that Mrs. Longstreet made
an incapable and inefficient post
mistress, to this charge Mrs.
Lonsstreet demanded an inves-
tigation, and the matter was re-.
ferred to tn e subcommittee,
which committee voted to report
that the charge Of inefficlency
was untrue, and that Mrs. Long
street made an efficient and ca
pable postmistress. Last Mon
day the name of Mrs. Ham, Mrs.
Longstreet's successor came up
in the senate for confirmation,
and Senator Hoke Smith insist
ed upon action by the senate, but
other senators objected until the
committee printed and reported
the hearing granted Mrs. Long
street in regard to her efficiency.
This tied up a list Of other con-
frmations now before that body
The announced policy of the
administration was that no re.
movals would take place except
| for cause. and in this case cause
was presented, but upon investi-
cation it proved that Mrs. Long.
Streets removal was political
and not for such cause as was
contemplated in the administra-
tons policy. Should the senate
sustain the committees findings
and decline to confirm the ap
pointment of the President upon
the recommendation of the con-
gresham, it will establish a pre-.
cedent that will have a whole
some effect in the future. it will
put stop to bartering away
public Offices.

SETTLE BY VOTE.

We note that Joseph L. Net
ties, Esq, a young lawyer of Co.
lumbi.,, to whom Was referred
the petition of the Prohibition
lists of Richland county. asking
for an election to vote out the
dispensary, has reported back to
th. Supervisor there was not a
sufficient number of names on
the petition to order the election;
the matter will probably be car
ried into the courts. There is
too much of a tendency on both
sides to resort to technicalities.
this is ,ure 10 be if lawyers
are broughtinto the controversy,
it seems to US that it would be
far better for both sides if they
would agree to accept the petit
tions as presented, and then make
their fight at the polls. 1t would
save time and money. So far as
sscertaining from the registra-
ton books the true number of
qualified voters in county it is
almost impossible. there a e
many duplicates, many who have
died or moved away, and many
who are disqualified although
registered, therefore we say, it
would be far better to have the
elections wherever desired with
out holding strictly to the letter
of the law so far as the petitions
are concerned. Sumter county
has ordered an election. but there
is much dissatisfaction, because
many believe the petition did not
contain a sufficient number OF
names as the law required, the
same condition exists in Calhoun
and Orangeburg, but instead OF
taking the matter into the courts
for the lawyers to reap a har'
vest. it will be less expensive
and altogether more satisfactory
to settle the controversy at the
polls.

MONEY CANNING VEGETABLES.
MRS. Y. S. B. GRAY, GEORGIA
PRIZE WINNER IN SOUTHERN
FARMING.

Five years ago I began canning
on a small scale. One of my
neighbors was very successful
in canning and I decided if she
could ill her pantry so cheaply
with not only good things but
wholesome things. I could do the
same. That year I filed rs cans.
This encouraged me to try to do
better the following year. The
next year proved to be a good
fruit year and l began my work
as early as there was fruit and
vegetables to use, and by the
time the canning season closed l
had filed over 1000 cans. This,
of course, wasI more than my
family could consume, and l
found ready sale among MY
friends for all I could spare. I
made an exhibit at the Spalding
county fair at Griffin, Ga, in
1912, which took sweepstakes
prize.
I raise stringless green pod
beans for my canning. These
are supposed to have no strings
Oh them and are a fine favored
bean. I prepare these as if to
cook, breaking in small pieces
and filling the cans nearly full,
cover with fresh water, seal and
boil in a deep vessel an hour and
a quarter. Tomatoes I peel and
fill cans nearly full, cover with
fresh water, seal and boil 20
minutes. Squash l cut up and
cook until thoroughly done, omit
ting salt, cool and nearly I'LL can
and cover with fresh water: seal,
drop into boiling water and let
remain from a half to three quar-
ters of an hour. The idea is to
heat the contents thoroughly.
I preserve and jelly all kinds
of fruit, and make a variety OF
pickles. My side line is a delic'
ious relish l make of bell pep
pers. This l have labeled Gray S
relish. 1t is simply fine. | am
going to put up 250 gross or prob
ably more this season. This gives
an idea of what a good seller it
Is. I consider beans and tomatoes
the most staple of all my canned
goods. but I find no trouble in
disposing of anything I can in
the way of fruits and vegetables.
/ also put up delicious pimentos
These l consider expensive if you
use many and have them to buy.
But I can put them up at home
at a very small cost.

WILL THE EARLY BIRD CATCH THE woRMs

If the principle of the early
bird has ever counted, how will it
count next summer in the guber-
material contest when all of the
aspirants are early birds: Ever
since the State executive COM
mittee declared the last election
the aspirants for gubernatorial
honors have sprung into the
limelight to let it be known they
would be next. Those announc
ed so far are pretty clever lot,
none OF them are of the kind that
will make things hot, they are
all a gentle set. and if no other
kind rush into the contest the
campaign so far as the race for
governor is concerned. will be a
sort of defamation fe
1t will be differeL 'lth the
contest for the Uniteo States
Senate. those mentioned for this
honor are not of the gentle kind,
they are fighters and when the
ball starts there is going to be
some pyrotechnics. Senator
Smith must defend the record
he made in Washington, and
Governor Blease will not only
have to defend his record as the
chief executive, but he will also
have to show why he is more
entitled to a seat in the senate
than the present incumbent.
then too, Mr.. W. F. Stevenson
of Chesterfield is expected to gel
into this contest, and he will un'
dertake to show why both the
Senator and the Governor should
be relegated to private life tc
make room for him.
1t is too soon to make any
thing like a prediction as to the
outcome in either the guberna'
torial or senatorial races, but
we will go this far and say that
much depends on the coming
session of the general assembly.
| if there is no friction and there
is no drastic legislation affect
ing the primary system, the
probability is, the campaign OF
next year will be free from the
bitterness of the last primary,
out, should any attempt be made
to hamper the white voters OF
the State by requiring extraor'
dinary conditions as requisite
to vote in the primary, it will
open up the old sores, and the
State will be in the throes OF
another heated wrangle. Ii
these extraordinary conditions,
such as exhibiting the registra'
ton certificate and the tax re-
ceipt in the primary is made
the law, the voters will comply,
but they will hold responsible
those who brought on this con
dition, ard they Will go to the
polls to cast their vote to repud'
late, and to replace such with
men who will undo the mischief

TIE MILITIA in GOOD SHAPE.

Surely the Sumter Item would
not purposely mislead its readers
about the militia muddle? A
talk with the Adjutant General
who by his construction of mil
itary law wanted number of
companies disbanded will con
vince any one that the governor
did not take water. but on the
contrary he got all he contended
for from the beginning, which
was to give the militia COM
panies time to prepare for an
inspection, then after having
this time they do not come up
to the requirements they will
have to be mustered out of the
national guard. The position
taken by the governor meets
with approval of the staff and
field officers. and a large major
ity of the militia that is not pre-
JUDGED by factional politics.
When this ruscus started we
were inclined to think the cover.
nor had made a grave mistake,
and that he would be the cause
of weakening the military arm
of the State government: but
after seeing the action of Gen
eral Jones and Colonel Cogswell
and theothers high up in the
military, and the result of their
visit to Washington, we have
changed our opinion, and now
think that Governor Blease's
refusal to disband the eleven
military companies on the recon
mendation of the Adjutant Gen.
eral will turn out to be for the
betterment of the militia. and
the same companies will demon
strate their appreciation by be-
coming as good as the best.

He WOULD sTARvE THE BOIL WEEvII.

Senator Smith has announced
a plan to head off the boil weevil
from devastating the south
western cotton states, which has
the tentative approval of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston.
He proposes for the federal gov
ern.nent to prohibit the growing
of cotton in a belt which would
separate the Atlantic coast
states from the southwestern
states. AS we understand it..
the Senator proposes to stop the
planting of the staple through
a strip Of country fifty miles
wide thus creating barrier in the
nature of no cotton for the boil
weevill to feed upon, and for the
government to compensate the
owners of the land in the pro-
hibited zone for not planting
cotton. If the boil weevil is an
insect which migrates it is a
question to our mind whether
the blank strip of country sug-
gested would prevent these in
sects from hunting it's prey.
However, the government has
plenty of money and if our
junior senator can induce it to
spend the money experimenting
in the cotton growing states
there should be no kick, more
especially in the section where
he proposes for the farmers to
be compensated for not planting
cotton. Of course those who
are not disposed to favor the
reelection of Senator Smith will
say this is but a little political
scheme to make votes for his
election next summer and they
will so argue.
