State Must Borrow $2SO,OOO.

Columbia, Aug. 14.-S. T. Carter,
State Treasurer, has addressed a let
ter to the Governor in which he
states that it will be necessary to
borrow from $25O,0O0 to 100000
for necessary expenses until the tax
money comes in. The Governor re-
piled to Mr.. Carter that he was will
ing to borrow the money for his de-
partment He asked for the opinion
of other members Of the financial
board of the State on the proposition.
If the various departments should
borrow the money and the officers
pay the interest it would mean that
no official in the State would receive
one cent salary for the year. The
letter of the Governor Is regarded at
the State House as grand-stand
play because the members OF the
financial board know that II would
be impossible for any State official
to float loan sufficient for the ex-
penses Of department.

1t will soon be fodder-pulling
time. What are you going to do
about 1t? Statistics show us that as
fodder is generally pulled, the injury
to the corn is as much as the fodder
is worth. Do not be in too big
hurry to pull the fodder. Wait until
the. corn is hard. But a better plan
is-if you are prepared to handle
the crop that way-to cut the corn,
put in we'll made shocks of about 200
stalks each, let it cure out thorough
ly and shred it. OF course this is i'm
practicable if there is no shredder in
your neighborhood. But why not get
your neighbors together and start a
little cooperative movement and buy
a shredder and engine and shred the
corn in the neighborhcod? This will
be much cheaper than pulling fodder
and will enable you to save and util-
ize all the corn plant instead of only
part Of it.

Constipation and

REGULARITY OF BOWELS VERY
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
AT THIS TIME.

At no time Of the year should peo-
pie be more careful Of the condition
Of their bowels than in hot weather.
Many things may cause constipation
in summer, but whatever 1t may be
the trouble should be promptly REM
edied A constipated person lays
himself or herself open tc serious
and often fatal diseases. That feel
ing Of congo ion, lassitude or dull
headache is the FIRST warning OF trou-
BILE.
Don't try to remedy 1t by the ex-
cessive eating of fruit, which usually
has a laxative effect, but lacks action
in extreme cases. What Is needed Is
a reliable but mild laxative-tonic like
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take a
dose Of it at night before retiring
1t is pleasant-tasting and free from
griping-and by morning your bow
els will be emptied and your head
clear. You will feel energetic again.
You cannot obtain such results
with cathartics, purgatives, salts or
pills, as, unlike T.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, they are without tonic value
and entirely too harsh. Among the
thousands of dependable converts to
Syrup Pepsin are the families Of +.

lous women. For when it comes to

PRIMITIVE MIND OF A BOY.
Find His Idol and You Have the Key
to His Life.
(New York SUN


Warren A. Slee, 13 years old, lay
sick for weeks, and, according to a
Washington dispatch, physicians said
they did not think he would recover.
Then the lad went into delirium and
talked of Walter Johnson, the
"speed king" among the pitchers Of
the American League. He had been
the boys idol, the man of men before
whom this lad had stood secretly in
awe, and when the mind was free the
idol of his worship spoke to him.
When the team came back to
Washington from it's Western trip a
member of the boys family had intu-
tive sense enough to seek out the
pitcher and tell him what the doctors
said. Naturally Johnson wanted to
go to the boys bedside, but the ply
sicians said no, that the excitement
would be fatal.
SO he wrote this letter, and it was
read to the boy in an interval Of de-
lirium:
my Dear Warren: / take pleas
ure in sending YOU herewith one Of
the base balls used on our Westeru
trip, and hope that you viii soon
have the opportunity Of using it with
your friends '.--.---------------,--
Pills, powders and surgery had
failed, but an idol worked another
miracle. As If touched by the gods
of old, there was an immediate
change for the better, and on Satur-
aay it was said that Warren will
soon leave the hospital and be able to
use that base ball. The primitive
mind had been allowed 10 work.
Many distinguished writer's have
tried in vain to describe the psychol-
ogy Of miracles such as these. Kip
ling and his "Brushwood Boy" Ken
meth Grahame and his Golden Age"
they have essayed to explain the
mind of a boy, but it cannot be done.
All that we know is, as Thackeray
says, that every boy at a stage in his
life has some idol. OF course, the
idols change, eventually becoming
feminine. Yet if our learned uplift-
ers would seek to learn the name or
nature Of each boys idol, and work
through it, instruction in moral hy-
giene and eugenics would become OBJ
solete. That way progress lies. If
an idol can save life it can do other
things, for 1t represents the boys
ambition at it's best and most impress
sionable period.
And what matter the form the idol
takes? 1t may be, as 1t often is,
locomotive engineer, a drum major,
base ball pitcher; through the hero
worship of these exalted beings the
boys salvation lies. Text books on
biology were never intended for the
primitive mind.

i TREES AND PAVEMENTS. !.
!" asstas' IL ]" i i !. i !. !. /.
Charleston Post.)

United States Commercial Agent
e. w. Thompson reports to the State
department this item from Ghent, in
Belgium:
One Of the problems in modern
city building is to pave properly the
sidewalks and at the saTs time con-
serve the shade trees already in ex-
istence, or make existence possible
for new ones. Some cities pave close
up, and by thus cutting off the natu-
raj surface water supply, contribute
to the early death of the tree. 9th
ers leave an unpaved circular space
around the tree which is often dan
gerous for pedestrians, is unsightly
at best, and grows more so as loose
paper and other debris accumulate
in the space.
The. city of Ghent, Belgium, solves
this problem by leaving a space of
two feet all around the tree and paw
ing up smoothly to flush iron ring,
having a recess inside to receive
sectional remova BILE iron grating flush
with the sidewalk. The diameter of
the outer ring may be made standard,
large enough for ali ordinary trees,
but the gratings are made in several
different sizes as to the inner ring so
that one may be selected not to fit
unreasonable close to any tree. This
makes neat walk and saves the
tree.
This method, employed with ref
erence to sidewalk paving, could
just as WELL with slight adaptation,
be utilized with relatio to roadway
paving. 1t has been. determined by
those who should know that in
Charleston we cannot have both
pavements and shade trees in our
streets, so the Information can have
only an academic interest here, in
which consideration it is presented.
