IS MAKING PROGRESS
FIGHT AGAINST HOOkWORM
GAINS MUCH GROUND.
Field Men Make $4,000 Examinations
Agents of Health Department
Lecture in Nineteen Counties.

There were over three times as
many people examined for hookworm
disease in 1913 than in the two and
a half years preceding. Of the 49,
900 examinations made last year,
Drs. Howell, Riser, Routh and Rod
gers, the four field men, have exam
ined 37,43S people in 10 counties Of
the State and found 11,S11 or 80
per cent. of them infected with the
disease. The number of treatments
given amounted to 1866 and it was
found that 400 OF the patients were
diseased with other parasites.
In addition to the direct work of
microscopically examining people the
four field men and J. LaBruce Ward,
NJ. D., director Of rural sanitation,
have delivered 16S lectures to over
1900 people. The work has grown
a great deal in the last year or two,
owing partially to the fact that the
people no longer are skeptical about
the presence of hookworm. All
counties in the State, except Saluda,
Kershaw and Clarendon counties.
have been canvassed since the work
started in the summer Of 1910.

ties that were worked last year. Civ

WANT 1T PAID BACK.
House Hears Arguments Of Speakers
Who Advocate Refunding.

A hearing at which practically all
the representatives in the House
from the cotton growing states were
present was held at Washington
Thursday by the committee on war
claims to hear arguments in favor OF
passing the bill refunding the "cot-
ton tax levied against the people OF
the South during the War Between
the Sections. For many years there
have been many efforts to have such
a bill passed, but success has never
been had so far.
1t was pointed out by Congressman
Frank Clark of Florida and others
that there is now s6S,o00,o0o due to
the people of the South from the COL
lection of this unjust tax, and that
if the country is ever to pay 1t now
is the time. Strong speeches were
made by a number of representatives
advocating the passage Of the BILL.
It was finally decided to appoint a
subcommittee, of which Represents
tive Byrnes Of South Carolina Is
chairman, to look further into the
situation.

By mutual agreement the two Gov
n,onta hara kent from publication

By mutual agreement the two Gov
ernments have kept from publication
details of the negotiations, but 1t has
been understood that the negotiations
came to an end becusea the principals
had arrived at an ''impasse." The Ia
test japanese note, it is said, could
not technically be described as pro-
test: it was a refusal to accept as con-
vincing the argument laid down by
the State department in support of its
contention that the California legls-
laion was not in derogation Of Jap
anese rights. Each side had started
propositions to which the other could
not subscribe, so there no longer was
room for argument.
AS no way has been found out OF
this position under existing conVen'
tions it is understood that the last
Japanese proposition contemplated
the making Of new treaty which
might settle the issues between the
two countries by precisely defining
the rights Of Japanese in America ano
Of Americans in Japan.

LONG SIEGE ENDS.
New York Outlaw Gives Himself Up
With Dignity.

Edward Beardsley, who, for more
than a week has defied the efforts of
Sheriff Anderson and posse to ar
rest him, surrendered to C. D. Back
us, local hotel man, early Wednes-
day and was locked up in the jail.
Backus, who was appointed deputy
sheriff, effected the capture alone
and in keeping with a plan agreed
upon by Beardsley. Beardsley was
served with a warrant charging him
with assault in the first degree in
having shot G. ". Putman, overseer
of the poor of Ctautauqua county,
with intent to kill.
Beardsley's capture" came after
eight days of open defiance of the
law and his effective defense of Fort
Beardsley", as his farmhouse strong
hold came to be known, dwlndled
into a burlesque with the outlaw in
the principal role. He would allow
any one to see and talk with him ex-
cept the sheriff and he turned his
notoriety into money by the sale of
autograph postal cards, posing for
photographers and moving picture
men. He boasted that Sheriff Ander-
son would never take" him.
A week ago Tuesday Beardsley
shot Putnam as the latter was about
to take the outlaws nine children to
a county institution. He barricaded
the windows and doors of his farm
house and kept the sheriff and his
posse of men at bay by threatening to
use the children as shield against
their bullets. On Monday he agreed
to surrender if the children were al
lowed to be taken out of the coun-
| ty and he be permitted to give HIM
self up in Mayville.

LEVERS BILL IS PRAISED
DOUBLES PRODUCTIVENESs OF
AMERICAN FARMS.
Estimated That the Dissemination Of
Scientific Farming Truths Would
Double Farmers Wealth.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North American
says: A bill to double the productive
ness of American farms and therefore
to add more to the general wealth OF
the United States than could be ac-
complished in any other direction
passed the House Of Representatives
recently by an almost unanimous
vote.
Democrats, Progressives and Re-
publicans-177 in all-stood togeth-
er in enthusiastic support Of the
measure, while but nine men voted
against it.
The bill is intended to carry direct
ly to the farm all the scientific dis
coveries made by the department of
agriculture and the agricultural col
leges and demonstration farms on
the. various States and to instruct
the farmers and the farmers wives
by demonstrations the best and
most economical methoas that can be
applied to farm work II. -.e field and
in the homes.
Under the measure the various
state agricultural colleges would re-
ceive Federal funds to finance plans
for acquainting the farmers through
publications and experiments with
facts established by the department
of agriculture.
AS it passed the House the bill
would provide for an immediate ap-
preparation of s4S0,0O0, of which
$4,000 would go to each state COM
plying with the requirements Of the
law. This appropriation would be
increased by 100000. each year for
nine years, and after ten-year
period would become a permanent
annual appropriation Of s3,OoO,OOO.
Nine billions of actual wealth were
created by the farmers Of the United
States last year. It is estimated that
this enormous sum can be doubled by
the same farmers through the use OF
scientific methods, and that it IS pos
sible, by making farming at once
more profitable and attractive, to in
crease the number of those engaged
in it.
And the realization Of this predic-
ton would not only make the United
States rich beyond all former dreams,
but will go far toward the establish
ment Of that hoped-for condition In
which abject poverty and want will
be unknown. Extravagant as these
estimates may seem, there is nothing
absurd or improable about them.
The system proposed by the bill
passed by the. House is the system
that has been applied in the princi-
pal nations of Europe with results
just as pronounced as those for in
the United States.
Application of scientific and econ
omic methods of farming abroad has
increased the average yield per acre
until it is two and one-half times
more than the yield in the United
States, and this with poorer land to
work upon and conditions originally
less favorable than they are now IN
the United States.
The bill passed is known as. the
Lever bill, providing for cooperation
in agricultural extension work. Rep
resentative Lever of South Carolina,
chairman Of the committee on agri-
culture, has been working on 1t for
several years, and the success OF his
efforts in it's passage constitute an
achievement that may easily prove
to be the greatest Of the present Con-
eresS

PRIMARY SAFEGUARDS
no DEMOCRAT TO BE ROBBED OF
HIS RIGHT TO VOTE.
Managers Must Not be Expected to
Protect the Purity Of the Ballot

Alone.
For a short while we will pub
lish a few articles under the above
caption written by member OF the
legislature. They are strictly non
partisan and point out the necessary
changes in the system to eliminate
fraud without taking away the ballot
from any South Carolina Democrat.
The articles are in no way inspired
by any candidate for Office and none
know of their preparation. They are
designed solely to assist the mass OF
Democratic primary voters to clean
house. Bills to this end will be acted
on in the next legislature and our
readers are, Of course, interested in
the subject at this particular time.

WHATcHAMEAN BY SILLY?

Just as Ounce once meant a wise
man, so it was once upon a time con-
sidered rather commendable to be
silly.
But that was when the English
language was just merging from its
medieval to its modern form. and in
those days to be silly meant to be
sweet and innocent. A gentle sheep
or a sweet child was said to be silly.
A certain old English author meant
nothing irreverent when he described
the Christ-child as that "silly baby"

CONFESSIONS OF A Wife
''Margie Discouraged"

It's mighty hard to adjust ones
self to married life and IL is a
dreadful heartbreaking conclusion
to learn that l am quite as much
In the dark regarding my own
ideas and actions on the subject
as l am In regard to Dicks.
1 had a kind of subconscious
feeling that marriage was a kind
OF sublimated and glorffied court
ship carried on with the sanction
of the church and state, and
find, alas, that marriage is en-
tire different.
Dick cares very little for many
OF the things which interest me
greatly. He gives his best energy
to his business and puts on such
bored face when l try to talk
to him about some book 1 have
just read or some picture / have
just seen. Don't pull that high
brow stuff on me tonight, Mar
gie," he says, Il am too tired to
think"
During our fast and furious
courtship We talked only of love
and how gloriously sweet 1t was
to live. But one exhausts those
subjects very soon after marriage
and then unless the husband and
wife have other topics of CONVEX
sation in common there seems to
be nothing left but 1.-The bitter joy
of misunderstanding"
Dick is down there in the office
i don't know even if he has
been out of town at all-thinking
himself abused by fate which has
saddled him with a wife who can
not be happy in being a nice little
neat dollie to be played with when
he wishes, who will not be salts
fled with ribbons, laces, gew gaws
and insists that she must have
some of the experiences that are
vital, strong and worth while. She
insists that life Is not a period of
dreamy listlessness and that any
thing-good or bad-in this dual
life we call marriage is as much
for her as for him.
OF course Dick is not putting
it that way. Instead he is smok-
ing like a furnace and frowning
like gargoyle and muttering to
himself, Il wish Margie would
not be such a d fool"
All right, Aunt Mary, I'm ready
and we'll stay at your home as
long as you want. Perhaps out
there with you | can exchange that
which I desire for that which I
can have and not feel that ! have
