The New Pet.

\ dog-a precious little pet,
An actress once conveyed around.
Her heart upon the pup was set.
She held it in esteem profound.
But she has sent that dog away
To dwell with strange and horrid men,
And elsewhere her affections stray.
Her pet is now a speckled hen.
Its voice an inspiration seems
Quite fitting for a ragtime song,
Its plumage in her headwear CLEANS
With iridescence gay and strong,
And those large, lustrous eggs 1T lays
Each like a mammoth pearl In price
No wonder pups have gone their ways.
4 useful hen is just as nice.

Save the Birds.

At the last meeting of the South
Carolina Federation of Fomen's s
Clubs bird protection was adopted as
an important branch of the depart
ment of conservation.
1t is now desired to raise a sum
of money to be placed in the hands
of the National Association of Audu-
bon Societies to assist in carrying on
the work of bird protection In the
South.
The national association is the
greatest organization in the world
for the protection of birds. 1t has
now established Southern headquar-
ters in Atlanta, Ga, so that South
ern birds may be better cared for.
The association owns a number of
bird refugees in the South, and one
in South Carolina, off James Island.
1t has spent thousands of dollars each
year protecting birds in the South,
with little assistance from the South
Carolina people.
Five dollars secures a full mem-
bership with subscription to Bird
Lore" magazine and all other publi-
cations issued from time to time.
Persons not able to become members,
but who desire to help the cause, may
contribute any amount within their
means.
All money contributed from South
Carolina will be used for work in
South Carolina. The money is need
ed for paying wardens, carrying on
n campaign of education, securing
better laws, and other matters con
nected with bird protection.
Club women are urged t" secure
contributions in each tow, and
teachers are requested to send con
tributions from schools.
In order to make this work effec-
tive. $1.000,0O0 is needed by Decem-
Der 10. The State Company has
agreed to accept and acknowledge
daily in The State paper all contri-
buttons. All sportsmen and bird
lovers should respond literally.
Checks should be made payable to

Good Roads Prevent Disease.

Few persons, on first thought,
would see any possible connection
between good roads and good health.
Yet the State Board of Health of
Kansas says that good roads can and
will prevent disease. How? BY the
removal of weeds and trash. Weeds
and trash prevent the prompt evapo-
ration of moisture and promote re-
tention of ground water. This makes
ideal breeding spots for mosquitoes.
flies and other insects, which are
known as disease carriers, not to
mention chinch bugs, hoppers and
other insects which are crop dam
ayers. Furthermore, an underground
of weeds invites the dumping of gar
bage and manure by Offering con-
cealment of which fact carleess and
thoughtless people are prone to take
advantage, thus increasing the facili-
ty of insect breeding and vOprtding
these insect carriers with proper ma
tcrial for disease transmission. Good
roads also prevent disease by pro-
viding good drainage. Many farms
have no means of drainage except by
bitches along roadwayS. Open
bitches, clear of brush and debris.
with hardened surface and proper
fall, afford these farms the opportu-
nifty of Kidding themselves of many
a stagnant pool. The removal of
weeds, proper road dragging, surface
hardening and oiling, insures prompt
drainage of all pool. ditch and sur
face water, removing the possibility
of insect breeders, for none can mul-
tiply without moisture. Road oiling
i'm itself is destructive Of insect
larvae, especially mosquitoes well
known fact. Dry roads offer pedes-
compelled to walk to and from
school, dry shoes and feet. While
colds are due to specific germs, yet
il is a well-knOwn fact that cold, wet
feet and chilled limbs lower the re-
siStcnCc of individuals and make
them more favorable subjects for in
fcCtiOns of the respiratory passages,
including pneumonia and tubercu-
losis Good roads prevent disease by
setting an example to adjoining farm
premises. Good roads promote travel
and set an example to the farmer
whose premises are bOrdered by
them. The comparison of a we'll
graded, clean highway with an un-
kempt and trashy barnyard adjoin
ing is sufficient to stimulate every
landowner to a cleanup. Pride COM
pels him to offer to passcrs-by n
neat appearing and attractive house
and barnyard. Results are only too
obvious. Good roads are active dis
ease prevention agencies, aside from
their financial and commercial value.

ADVICE TO THE NEGROES.
They Should Stop and Think Before
Buying So Much on Credit.

To the Editor of The News:
Allow me to say to those of my
race who desire to prosper that we
should stop a while and think and
notice the course OF thinking that
led us into sin this year and shun
that course next year 1t is no true
that too much credit is destroying
the race. l have discovered by OBJ
servation that man will stand at a
store counter longer when he is
spending the other fellows money
than he will when spending his own.
Is that right if it be true? A man
should be made to think and feel
that if he spends all that he and his
operatives can make one year after
the other that something is wrong.
We are buying too many things, the
mule, the feed, the bride. the store
and the meat and bread. the salt. all
that il must cook, all on credit: the
bed. the covering, fine coats, shoes.
hats and fine drcs, all ON cotton and
the seed i'm the other mans cotton
house. Is this business or what ia
it? When this crop is made neigh
bors please tell me whose is il and
when should it be sold? Both lint
and seed, who can say my cotton,
my seed, my men? We are learning
management Of that same crop that
we should understand was sold for
horse, Euano, flour. shoes. coats.
Credit looks to me like the largest

war and she gives birth to many
thousands every year. | like her
very much. She only needs protcc-
tion and less assaults. Too many of
her children are learning how TO get
her favors i'm the spring and sum-
mcr and go home, make failures, get
mad. come to her i'm the fall and say
i'm her house, "You and your house
hold are liars, | did not get those
things" Why2 Because | cannot
remember them. and | do not ont
will not recollcct them why? Be
cause we are using too much OF the
other fellows money. We should
stop and think. Some people say the
things that are cursing the negro in
the way of living is the fact that we
plant too much. But that is not
true. He does not plant enough of
the right kind of crops. The biggest
thing in the mind Of the negro is 10
bales Of cotton to the mule, and buy
ing corn on the lien. and when he
fails to make the corn he fails to
make his meat and feed for his COW
and horse, hence the only thing that
he can do to start with fat mule
next spring is to give his mule away
and buy fat one from Mr. II azel
Should we not stop and think the
matter over before 1914?

may, l mean to get little and grow
instead of trying to appear large and
get small.

COZ. GNILLIARD's DISEASE.
Infiltrating Tumor in Brain, Shown
by Autopsy.


Washington. Dec. 9.-The mystery
which surrounded the cause of the
fatal illness of the late Lieut. Col
Gailliard has been diSsipatod by the
official autopsy, the results of which
we're made public today by Colonel
Taylor. one of the assistant chiefs of
engineers
This examination showed that
Colonel Gailliard had been afflicted
with an infltrating tumor in the
brain, which from its nature could
not be successfully treated by sur
gical operation.
Secretary Garrison today said no
engineer officer would be assigned to
replace Colonel Gailliard in the canal
work, as the task of removing the
slides i'm the Culebra cut of the Pan
anna canal, upon which he was en-
gagged up to the time Of his last ill
ness, had been assumed by the gen
eral engineer staff Of the zone.
AS a further tribute to the services
of Colonel Gailliard in the construc-
tion of the canal, the house interstate
commerce committee today agreed
unanimously to recommend the pas
sage of bill giving to Mrs. Gailliard
$l4,500, the yearly salary drawn by
her husband.

OBJECT TO CUT SALARIES.
Philippine Officials Threaten to Re-
sign IL Salaries are Reduced.

Manila, Dec. 10.-Many officials of
the Philippine government threaten
ed today to hand in their designations
in consequence of the passage by the
assembly of an appropriation bill by
which economies amounting to So
600, 900 in the governments eXpendi-
lures are effected, chiefly by the re-
duction of salaries.
1t is expected the Philippine COM
mittee will modify the measure.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-As Cover
nor General Francis Burton Harri-
sons announced policy has been to
effect economy in Philippine admin
istration by reduction of salaries in
excess of $4,000 but not below that
figure, officials here do not under
nd how so great reduction as
$2.OOO,OOO can be accomplished
un IS other estimates are cut. Dur
ing last year the total amount of
salaries was $3.50, 900, the average
American salary being $1,725, and
the average Filipino salary $453.
1t has been Governor Harrison s
expectation to reduce the salary ag-
gregate by combinations and reduc-
tions i'm the government bureaus.
1t is believed here that if the reduc-
ton of $2.OOO,OOO is brought about,
il will be necessary TO suspend some
of the activities on public works.
