SEEMS A POOR OCCUPATION
Demand for Female "kenneLMaids"
Said to Be the Latest In tho
Old Country.

Ladies have been advised to take
up the profession of "kennel-maid,"

country tell that there are actually
Institutions for training ladies to be-
come nurses for dogs. They are
taught to study the different ailments
of the canine pets, and have to serve
an apprenticeship for at least twelve
months before they are qualified. "A
good nurse can command good sal
ary. Only recently lady in Dublin
engaged one of these canine nurses at
SIG week, besides paying travelling
expenses. At most dog shows in Eng
land one sees girls in nurses cos
tunes attending the valuable animals
that are on exhibition. An advertise
ment appeared in a London journal
only a few weeks ago offering $500
per year and all found for qualified
kennel maid.

Farmers Pay the Freight.

The subjoined editorial from the Pro-
gressive Farmer showing the amount
of freight paid on western corn that is
hipped into this state reveals the fact
that South Carolina farmers can grow
corn on their farms cheaper than they
can pay the freight on corn and haul it
from the railroad to their cribs. A care
full study of these figures should cause
farmers to resolve to produce sufficient
corn on their farms to supply the home
demand:
"This country is today network of
railways, and one would suppose that
the price of farm crops would vary
little from state to state. But let any
man who cherishes such an illusion,
take a glance at the official statement
issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture some weeks agu
showing that corn was selling at that
time at forty-eight cents in Minnesota
and ninety-six cents-exactly twice as
much-in South Carolina! How prices
varied is indicated by the following
complete table of corn prices by states:
Illinois, so cents; Iowa, so cents;
Kansas. So cents; Missouri, so cents;
Nebraska, So cents; Texas, % cents;
Oklahoma, so cents; Indiana, So cents;
Ohio, IS cents; Georgia, 81 cents;
Kentucky, SO cents; Tennessee, 65 cents;
Alabama. 81 cents; Mississippi, n
cents; North Carolina, IS cents; Arkan-
sas, So cents; South Dakota, Al cents;
Minnesota, 48 cents; Virginia 76 cents;
South Carolina, 96 cents; Louisiana,
SO cents; Wisconsin, SIS cents; Michi-
gan. 63 cents; Pennsylvania, 10 cents.
"Such a table furnishes most
damning arraignment of our present
antiquated and costly system of distri-
button and marketing. Unnecessary
middlemen must be eliminated and
buyer and seller brought closer togeth-
er. How long shall we endure the
enormous waste and loss between the
farmer selling corn in Minnesota at
forty-eight cents bushel and the far
mer buying in South Carolina at nine
ty-six cents bushel?"

PRAYER OF MODERN WOMEN

Expression That Makes Food

Lord, we have come out of the
dark and the quiet and the calm of
the past into the dazzle and the noise
and the hurry Of the present. But
yesterday we lived inside four sealed
walls, the hearth our earth, the fam
lily our world. Today the door and the

In this day.
Help us to give back to the chill
dren who toll all the tender love and
all the fairy lore Of their lost child
hood; its green fields and sweet wa
ters, its bright flowers and blue skies,
it's soft winds and warm sunshine.
its golden sands and changing seas.
Help us to give back to the wom-
en- who sin all the love and honor Of
their lost womanhood, its gaiety and
security, its helpfulness and happiness
and peace.
Help US to open the hearts of all
good women to their new duty.
Help us to make easy the way Of
the working woman.

Bombay Plans to Fight Cholera

Bombay is taking steps to cope with
the cholera and other epidemics. Dur
ing the recent visitation Of cholera
there the need of a hospital for cases
of infectious diseases among Europe
ans was emphasized. This want was
brought to the notice of the municipal
ity and later to the government. AS
a result of the agitation the Bombay
government has addressed the cor
poration on the subject Of providing a
new hospital for the treatment Of
these diseases, and the Bombay gov
ernment proposes to cooperate with
the municipality by assuming the en-
tire cost of the hospital building, pro-
vided the municipality will furnish the
site and maintain the institution.

Success to You, Col. Bailey.

After ii years of earnest and honest
work in Edgefeld, Col. F. N. K. Bailey
has decided to move the South Carolina
Co. Educational Institute to Greenwood
and convert ltinto boys school, styl-
ing the new institution the Bailey Mill
tary Institute. Although loath to give
him up, Edgefeld wishes Col Bailey well
in his new field. May his fondest
hopes be realized and may his renewed
efforts be crowned with full fruition!
If his locating in Greenwood will do
for that town during the coming years
what his living here for IA years has
done for this town and county eduea-
tionally, the people of his new home
will never regret that they raised the
goodly sum of $4,000 to secure him
and his institution, and that they will
be thus rewarded we have not the
shadow of doubt.
The bent of Col. Bailey's life is con-
structive, not destructive. He is pre-
emf nently a builder; builder along
educational lines, builder of charac-
ter among young men, builder of high
social standards, a builder of whole
some public sentiment, a builder OF
higher ideals for community, in short,
builder for eternity as we'll as for
time.
While he has benefited Edgefeld
immeasurably materially, yet those
which far outweigh all others are the
intangible, the unseen benefits. These
though unseen are as real and as plain
ly discernable as the rays from the
MONDAY sun.

Proposed Reduction of Interest Rate.

Among other things, Governor Blease
urg in his annual message that the
legal rate of interest be reduced from
eight to six per cent. Such sugges-
ton may catch the popular ear and
please those who do not look beyond
the surface, but that which concerns
the thoughtful man is will reduction
of the rate charged by banks in this
state to six per cent be the best for
the people in the end? Within the past
five years the increase in the number
of banks and in the amount of banking
capital has been unprecedented in this
state. The fact is in many sections
the banking field is overcrowded, so
much so that many small institutions
are put to their trumps to make divi-
dend at the prevailing rate. In pro-
portion as the rate of interest is de-
creased, many of these small banks, OF
uncertain existence at best, will be
crippled.
The curbing and the embarrassing of
banks must in the end react upon the
masses of the people or the borrowers.
Reduce their present limited income
and not few small banks will have
to close their doors, which will force
farmers in some sections to fall back
on merchants and brokers for cash and
advances, paying therefor not only
eight but 20 or Is per cent.
Another aspect of the question is
this: Reduce the rate of interest and
banks will of necessity have to be more
cautious about the kind of Security re-
quired. This of itself will handicap
and embarrass the small farmer whose
security is limited and generally not of
the "gilt edge" kind. Money is worth
eight per cent at this time in South
Carolina a, especially when the character
of security that the small borrower
must offer is considered. Generally
competition and the law of supply and
demand will regulate matter of this
kind, and any drastic legislation looking
to the improvementof of conditions will in
the end reac. upon the dependent class,
the borrowers.

In Ancient India,

A writer on Indian women of 5000

are rich and influential; but the mo-
ment they are reduced in circum-
stances they will be abandoned by
them. Women resemble the lightning

Woodrow Wilson Desires Personal
Knowledge.
Personal
knowledge.

Presidcnt-elect Wilson is not only a
student of the classics, and of the
whole realm of literature in fact, but
he is also a student of men and condi-
tions. He is not satisfied with less
than a personal knowledge of a given
situation, if it be possible to gain such
a knowledge. Several days ago while
in New York Governor Wilson visited
Ellis Island where immigrants land by
the thousands daily and personally
watched the examination of the immi-
grants as the officers piled them with
questions. In this way he acquired
firsthand knowledge of the conditions
that actually obtain at the country's
foremost immigrant station.
Another indication that Governor
Wilson desires to have a personal and
therefore accurate knowledge of every
problem with which he must deal as
president is found in the fact that he
has already planned to spend his vaca-
tion next summer amid the scenes of
the Panama canal, instead of accept
ing invitations from this and that sum-
mer resort to be its guest. Such high
type of man inspires confidence, con-
strains men to believe in him, whether
they be political friend or foe. Talk about
a panic, a shaking of the public conf
dence, because Woodrow Wilson was
elected president! 1t is the veriest non
sense, and Mr.. Carnegie had the good
sense to say so.
