Worthless Dogs a Menace.

Worthless dogs are undesirable ac-
ouisitions to community the year
round, but particularly at this season
are those OF the vagrant type menace
to the community. In the summer a
larger number of dogs become victims
of hydrophobia. and it is at this season
too that children as they play in the
ward or or the streets are more
exposed to roaming dogs. Scarce
ly week passes that the head OF a
dog, hydrophob;a suspect, is not sent
to the office Of the State Board of
He alth in Columbia for examination IN
order to determine whether or not the
animal was victim of hydrophobla.
Sin &c the first Of January, the Board
of Health has administered the Pasteur
treatment to 1879 persons who were bit
ten by dogs. So large number as this
may not impress some readers of these
lines, but if the next victim to be car
ried to Columbia for treatment should be
a member of his or her home circle, then
the realization of what menace these
worthless dogs are would be more
keenly felt.
1t behooves the citizens of every rural
and of every town to see
that all diseased, vagrant dogs are
killed. An ounce of prevention may
be worth a million pounds Of cure.
Nothing is more horrible to contem-
plate than the death of little child,
or an adult, too, for that matter, from
hydrophobia.

Will Become a Thrice-Blessed Town.

Blessed is the town that has strong
gricultural backing and upon whose
streets hundreds of cotton laden wag-
ons are seen in the fall, but twice
blessed is that town whose streets are
crowded with tobacco wagons in the
summer in addition to the cotton wag-
ons of autumn. We read with envy of
the heavy tobacco sales in some the
Pee Dee towns. The prosperity of such
towns, like that of the farmers who
live at home, is not dependent upon
tariff or currency legislation.
There is but little hope for an in
crease in Edgefeld's cotton receipts,
for the immediate future at least, and
as for the tobacco there is nothing for
US except to consume instead of pro-
duce the golden weed. Butt the mat
ter of increased and enlarged support
for Edgefeld, we are looking hopeful
ly to ne establishment of sundry in
dustrial enterprises which will provide
all-the-year-round pay rolls, which will
e aable US to be classed among the
thr:ce-blessed towns.

Mr.. Bryan Makes a Mistake.

In leaving his post in Washington to
go upon the lecture platform for a
month or six weeks Secretary of State
Bryan has made an egregious mistake.
Gran ting that the affairs of the gov
ernm ent will not suffer, his absence
upon mission of personal aggrandize-
ment will give the enemies of Presi-
dent Wilson an opportunity to criticise
the Democratic administration. We
do not believe Mr.. Bryan conferred
with the President before making the
engagements to lecture. President
Wilson is too wise and prudent man
to have consented to such course.

Reasons For Abolishiug Farms.

One of the leading arguments in fa-
vor of abclishing the State farms has
been that they are used to grow cotton
in competition with farmers who are
compelled to produce the fteecy staple
for a living. and, Furthermore, that
the convicts are needed on the public
roads of the counties from which they
are sent up. This arguments strength
ened by an advertisement recently
publ shed in one of the daily papers
asking for bids for supplies for the
penitentiary for the ensuing year.
Among the items upon which bids
are requested are 10000 pounds of
bacon and sufficient quantity bagging
for covering about 1000 bales of cot
ton. These items reflect an unwise
policy in the management of the insti-
tuition and strengthen the position of
those who advocate the sale of che
state farms. Why should cotton be
grown in competition with farmers and
the money used, portion of at least,
to purchase meat from western pack
ers? Why not produce less cotton on
these farms and grow more corn with
which to feed hogs?
AS long as these farms are maintain
ed they should be conducted as far as
posib BILE as model farms. The Depart
ment of Agriculture of South Carolina
advocates the growing of all home ne
cessities as far as possible upon the
farm. and yet the State farms grow
cotton with which to buy western ba-
con. This is, after all, comparative
ly small matter, but it reflects policy
in the management that should not
exist.
The Advertiser has all along advo-
Gated the sale Of the farms, reserving
limited area upon which the actual
necessities for maintenance may be
produced. We have also urged the
placing of the convicts on the public
roads. Let the counties which have
suffered injury through crimes COM
mitted receive direct benefit from the
labor of the criminals. What punish
ment anyway is it for negro to put
him behind a plow in cotton field? 1t
is suggestive of Uncle Remus' rabbit
and the brier patch.

a Commendable Example.

Vincent Astor who, following the
tragic death of his father, Col. John
Jacob Astor, became the possessor of
many millions of dollars, is setting a
very commendable example to wealthy
young men who shall come after, and
older ones, too, for that matter. A

poverty stricken children who exc out

An Engine of Death.

The pleasure car not infrequently,

Charles ton attorney was killed while
motoring near Lake George, N. Y,

the summer. While the 10th century
provides more pleasures and luxuries
than the clark ages" it at the same
time is attended with more dangers and

Say No More About It.

The way to keep up hard feeling and
antagonism between the North and
South is to keep eternally prating about
the two sections being reunited and that
now they are one people. If a man

their happiness and harmony before
the public and telling every one how
happy they are, You may expect a hot
old time in that home. .-Spartanburg

The Fate of a Pretender.-The East
End small boy had sadly misbehaved
and was locked in his room. Pretty
soon his mother heard him calling.
'Muvver." said the shrill voice, I'm
goin' to bust the window and fall out"
The mother made no reply. Again
the shrill voice arose.
"Muvver, I've found some matches
an I'm goin' to set fire to the curtains"
The mother remained Indifferent.
Once more the voice hailed her.
.Muvver, don't you smell sumfin'

'"If you don't smell nothin'," the voice
went on, "it's cause pulled off all tn
match heads an swallowed 'em-an'
I'm goin' to die. Do you hear that,
muvver-I'm goin' to die!"
BY this time the mother was thor
oughly incensed, and hastily preparing
a cup of mustard and hot water she
hurried upstairs.
IF you've swallowed match heads" ;"
she announced, you'll have to swallow
this to keep them company" And then
she poured the nauseating stuff down
his throat.
Al little later the aggravating young
ster, sadder, wiser and much humbled,
concluded to take the balance Of his
punishment in silence. z

Kansas Grandfather Tells of Seourge
That Hit the State in the Seventies.

Kansas Grandfather ellis OF Scourge
That Hit the State in tho Seventies.
Grasshoppers in Kansas, eh? It's
been a long time since we've heard
that cry, and sorrowful enough one
1t Is, grasshoppers in Kansas.
They came the first time, Tom, in IA,
when your father was Just wee bit of
a youngster. He says he can still re-
member how he used to hate to step
out the back door, because the hoppers
flew up all around him and above his
head and whirred in his face.
You hear a lot Of foolish talk every
year about the seventeen-year locusts,
but the Rocky Mountain grass-hop-
pers Of the seventies came a heap
nearer being the Bible kind Of locusts
the kind Moses brought down upon
the land Of Egypt to "eat up every
green thing" That's what these miser-
able pests did all right.
1t was late summer-most Of the
small grain had been harvested when
they appeared first. I'd gone to town,
and your Uncle Tom, chat you're nam
ed after-a little bit Of shaver he was
then, about 10-was riding herd on a
little bunch Of cattle. Everybody had
some work to do in those early days in
Kansas, even the youngsters. He had
a little old pony, gentle it was, and 1t
was his job to see that our cattle
didn't stray off-there weren't any
fences to speak of in a good part of

Well, sir. it's the same story that
every one'll tell you that saw the hop
pers-they came like a cloud before the
sun. Way, way up in the air they
flew, two, three hundred feet above the
earth. and when you looked up, you
could see their wings glittering in the
sunlight like little flakes Of silver-or
like snow. some folks said Wed heard
about 'em before. but 1t seems like you
can never quite realize thing of that
sort till you see it. And then they be-
gan to drop down all around, and it
seemed like they hardly got to earth
before they commenced to eat.
They weren't particular what they
ate, either, just so twas green. You
could watch them start on a fielu of
the tassels and the silk and
the new tender shoots, and then the
