DlsarmIng Powers of Evil.

A very interesting custom has just been carried out by the Arab popula- tion of Tripou. Several huge cranes for salvage work recently arrived there from Genoa but before any of the 500 Arab workmen could be in- duced to start operations, the Moslem priests were summoned. Then began the celebration of an elaborate rite during which large number of young lambs were immolated on the altar The new salvage plant was smeared from top to bottom by the priests with the blood of the victims, and the cere- mony concluded with a sacred dance around the cranes. After this the Arabs set themselves joyfully to work in the assurance that the powers of svil had been effectively paralyzed.

WAYS OF RUBBER TAPPING
Natives of Mozambique Either Use inclsIon or Cook and Pound ! the Bark.

There are at present in use two native methods of extracting rubber. The first, that of incision or tapping, is followed by all natives south of the Zambesi Valley, and 1t produces 8 high-grade rubber known as Mozam. bfQue pink, second only to best Para on the European market. The other method of extraction, known as pounding. is generally followed in the Mozambique and other northern dis tricts. There the bark is stripped from the roots of the vines or from the vines and is cooked over a slow fire and pounded until the bark is finally pounded out, leaving a mass of rubber in all stages of crudity. This rubber is known as Mozambique rooty. It Is chased very low, but a large concern now operating in the Mozambique district has perfected the system of pounding to the point of producing a rubber which Is rapid ly approaching the classification of Mozambique pink.
 A strange truth has come to light in regard to the landolphia, and that is that while vines are freduently killed by incision or tapping, this seldom happens with the vine which Is cut down almost to the ground after maturity. It Is also a notable fact that large sections of the root of a vine can be dug up and cut off with. out killing the vine. In the Mozam. biQue district there are places where natives have been cutting roots from the same vines year after year FThe recognition of this fact will make an enormous difference in the estimates of the capacity of the forests.-U. 6, Consular Report,

Cultivate the Crops in Summer
Cultivate the Man i'm Winter.

Winter is a good time to
think, good time to read, a
good time to play a little. Get
the most out of it. There are
winter jobs-wood cutting, ice
cutting, teaming-plenty of
them, and there are the eternal
chores indoors and out, tire
some sometimes, but useful for
the regulation of life. But the
days are shorter in the winter
and farm work does ease up
when frost is in the ground.
Get the most, then, out of the
winter vacation, such as it is.
Cultivate the ground in the
spring and summer; gather the
crops in the fall. In winter cul-
tivate the man who cultivates
the ground.
The most important thing
that goes to the making of
crops is the farmers brains.
Give them as much attention in
the winter as their Importance
deserves. See that they get
reading that is of some value,
both agricultural and any otner
kind that can be had. The
young brains in the family will
be more or less occupied with
school, but not so engrossed but
that outside reading will get at
tention if it is accessible. And
for the girls and women of the
family there should be provided
the best reading that will suit
them.
Time is the most valuable
thing in the world, and one ad-
vantage the farmer has over
most of the other workers, is
that he has more time at his
own disposal, especially in win
ter, than they do. 1t will do
him no good if he wastes it, but
it is no waste of time to get in
friendly touch with ones neigh
bors, to take in new thoughts
by eye or ear; to play bit
when the chance ofTers.-E. s.

THE STATE" is THANKED
FOR CORN EXPOSITION
Resolutions Adopted at Meeting
of Board of Directors of
f

of Board of Directors of
Chamber of Commerce.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the chamber of COM
merce was held Thursday at
which the following resolutions
were passed:
BE it resolved, That the
board of directors of the Co
lumbia chamber of commerce
think it proper to give to the
public the following facts in
connection with the fifth nation
al corn exposition:
"The fifth national corn ex-
position was induced to come to
Columbia through the efforts of
many people and many interests
that deserve the thanks of the
people of Columbia and the citi-
zens of South Carolina. We
think it proper to state, how
ever, that the exposition would
not have come to Columbia if it
had not been for the splendid
patriotism of Ambrose E. Con
zales as president of The State
Company, who, when the eX-
position was about to go else
where because Columbia could
not make the required guaran-
tee, volunteered to guarantee
the whole sum Of $4,000 to the
exposition, and actually financ-
ed the exposition until other
funds could be obtained.
BE it further resolved, That
the thanks of the Columbia
chamber of commerce be ex-
tended to Ambrose f. Gonzales
and to The State Company for
their splendid services, as
aforesaid, to the city of Co.
lumbia and the state of South
Carolina.
"And be it resolved, That
these resolutions be spread on
the permanent records of this
chamber and a copy of them be
sent to Mr.. Gonzales and to The
State Company."-The State.

JAPANESE RULES OF LIFE.
"Be Married." is One of Ten
ROYAL Hints to the PeoDle

ROsd IluttS W the feOple.
The Japanese government,
says The Milwaukee Sentinel,
has printed in circular form and
distributed among it's people
the following rules for guidance
in matters relating to health:
Spend as much time out of
doors as possible. Bask in the
sun and take plenty of exercise.
Take care that your respiration
is always deep and regular.
"As regards meals, eat meat
only once day and let the diet
be eggs, cereals and vegetables,
fruits and fresh cows milk.
Take the last-named as much as
possible. Masticate your food
carefully.
Take a hot bath every day
and steam bath once or twice
a week if the heart is strong
enough to bear it.
Early to bed and early to
rise.
sleep in a very dark and
very quiet room, with windows
open. Let the minimum of
sleeping hours be six or six and
one-half hours. In case of wo-
man eight and one-half hours is
advisable.
Take one day of absolute
rest each week in which you
must refrain from even read
ing or writing.
TRY to avoid any outbursts
of passion and strong mental
stimulations. Do not tax your
brain at the occurrence of in
evitable Incidents or of coming
events. Do not say unpleasant
things nor listen, if possible to
avoid it, to disagreeable things.
BE married! Widows and
Widowers should be married
with the least possible delay.
BE moderate in the con-
sumption of even tea and coffee,
not to say tobacco and alcoholic
beverages.
Avoid places that are too
warm, especially steam heated
and badly ventilated rooms"

Our Present DiScOntentS.

Says The Yorkville Enquirer:
There is lots of unrest and
dissatisfaction hrough h O u t
South Carolina, and to attempt
to deny the fact would be alb
surd. More than that, it would
be silly for facts should not be
denied. As to the cause of this
dissatisfaction and unrest, we
do not know positively; but we
have an idea that it comes
about through the fact that
more people are thinking. For
merly most of the thinking was
done by a few, and other people
did as these few thought. But
nowadays more people are un-
dertaking to think for them
selves, and they are finding
many things that they consider
out of Joint. Since it is easier.
however, to discover defects
than it is to correct them, and
the masses who are doing all
this thinking have not yet had
time to get their bearings, it is
probable that it will be some
time before there is a general
readjuStment. Our own view
of the whole situation, is that
above all else it is time for peo-
pie to turn their thoughts to
common Justice and insist ON
strict and impartial enforce
ment of the laws. If the laws
of the land We're properly OBJ
served, there would be no place
for dissatisfaction or unrest"
Whether or not one agrees
with the analysis which The
Enquirer makes of conditions
in South Carolina, its history of
why the times are out of Joint
is an interesting one, and 1T al
events the conclusion which it
reaches is sound beyond attack.
All of our troubles come down
at the last to a question of law
enforcement. "lf the laws of
the land were properly observ-
ed, there would be no place for
dissatisfaction or unrest" Who
will deny it. Yet how is the
condition to be remedied when
officers Of the law go into office
bound hand and foot to vicious
elements to whom by implica-
tion at least, they have virtually
promised immunity in return
for their political support? BY
what means may Il spirit of re-
Spect for law and obedience to
law be built up while convic-
tionS are being set aside by the
hundred and fragrant violations
of the law are winked at bv

Settin round in every town,
CROWN like broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o. cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth.
You just be booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're

'er,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other feller's willin'-
Sail right in, this country's free;
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his.
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
Ii things just don't seem to suit you,
An the world seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with boostin'
Just to help the thing along;
Cause if things should stop a-goin'
We'd be in sorry plight.
You must keep that horn a blowir'-
Boost 'er up with all your might,
If you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em, cause you know
That some feller's got some good
points.
Them's the ones you want to show.
Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back" is a sayin'
true,
Mebbe they'll come back a-buttered
When some feller boosts for you.

Inauguration Weather.

| All pei ISOilS WHO expect 10 at
tend the Inauguration are in
terested in the weather that is
to be. The last inauguration
will not be forgotten by the
people who attended it. The
day before the weather bureau
stated that the weather would
be calm and clear. Instead of
that there was a blizzard which
lifted people off their feet. One
cannot forecast future weather
by the past. Here is the wealth
er at this place, March the 4th,
since the last inauguration. In
1909, it was clear with high
wind; mean temperature, al.
In 1910, clear and calm and
warm. Temperature, 81. In
1911 it was clear with a high
wind; mean temperature, So.
In 1912, it was cloudy with ice
and very cold; mean tempera-
ture, 27. Last March it was
cold from the 1st to the 9Th,
with much frost and ice. Now
make forecasts for March d.
Hicks, in his almanac, says
March will come in with re-
dictionary storm period spread
ing over the southern regions
and giving strong gales and
blizzards North, with a very
cold wave 3rd to 9Th.
The following is the record of
Inauguration days since 1878.
Study them and then calculate
what the next one will be:
1873-Grant; cold, high wind.
877-Hayes; snow and wind.
18S1-Garfield; sleet on the
ground.
1SS5-CleveIand; fair and
cold.
1889-Harrison; cold and
rain.
1893-Cleveland; snow, cold
and a gale.
1897-McKinley; clear.
19O1-McKinley ;cold, drench-
ing rain.
1905-Roosevelt; fine.
1909-Taft; blizzard.
That is only two fine days in
the last ten. Congress has re-
fused, and wisely, too, to change
the date of the inauguration.
Those Immediately concerned
can protect themselves in heat
ed halls. The large crowd of
curious visitors have to take
their chances. In 1898 they
told this story on President
Cleveland. While the party
was freezing on the stand and
waiting for the thing to be over,
some Thoughtful person carried
up pitcher of something and
filled glass for each on the
stand. All warmed up except
Dan Lamont, who was non
drinker. Grover Cleveland said
to some one: Hand me Dan S
glass; he don't drink" He pro-
ceeded to put it away.-Spar-
