Now if the Germans and the Russian

Now if the Germans and the Russians
had agreed at the outset to settle their
differences without fighting, and had
earnestly proceeded to carry out such
an agreement on a bear and forbear
basis. there would have been no war.
If after all this thing is over and one
side whips the other or both sides fight
to complete exhaustion and prostration,
there will be peace for a time; but no
satisfaction. The present war is large
ly development of previous wars, just
as other wars will grow out Of this
war. There is more or less talk to the
effect that the defeat of Governor
BleaSe will put an end to factiOnalism,
and both factions, the Manning people
and the Richards people claim that the
triumph Of their respective sides will
mean final settlement of the differ
enccs between our people. But there
is nothing tO all this. There is no use
promising peace as the result Of strife.
Peace does not come that way. The
only way to secure peace, lasting
peace. is by an honest investigation Of
the causes of difference and an earn

plowed under in the spring to add hu-
mus to the soil. When crimson clover
is being used regularly as winter
cover crop in orchard culture, or
where local experience indicates that
a good catch and a good crop are
practically certain, payment Of high
er price for the seed will no doubt be
justified. A somewhat similar con-
dition exists with reference to hairy
vetch seed. There has been approx
mately siX-sevenths as much SEED I'M
ported since November l, 1913, as IN
the wear previous. This shortage
however. is partly counterbalanced by
the increasing domestic production or
hairy vetch seed. Whether the price
of hairy vetch is found to be eXorbi-
tant. the same change in farm prac-
tice is recommended as that suggested
in the case of crimson clover.

Beef cattle appear to be quite plenti-
full Just now, or at least a good deal
more SO than they will be a couple of
months later.
There are 4,530 voters enrolled in
York county Only 4,l29 ballots were
cast in the first primary ten days ago.
Any voter enrolled, but who did not
vote in the first election can vote in
the second primary just the same.
There are nearly 400 citizens Of York
entitled to a voice in the second pri-
mary in addition to the 4,129 who ex-
pressed their preference in the first.
Il seems almost foolish to continue
to urge upon our York county readers
the wealth they throw away because
Of inability to raise sheep on account
of worthless dogs. If the people would
only make up their minds not to allow
the dogs to interfere; but to do away
with them as in the old days they did
away with wolves, sheep could be
raised by the thousand at compare
lively small cost.
Candidates in the second primary are
not letting the grass grow under their
feet; but are putting in their time
among the voters Of the county. AL
though there appears to be little or no
interest in the second primary so far
as the voters are concerned with the
office seekers it is a case Of root, hog,
or die" to use the expression of one
candidate, and there Is no doubt but
what most Of them are doing a lot Of
roofing"
And still little stories concerning
some Of the would-be office holders de-
feated in the recent primary come to
light. Here is one of the latest: One
Of the defeated candidates who. by the
way Is good man, but not q good poll
tician. and who stayed up nearly all
night awaiting returns, left for his
home when he saw how completely he
had been showed under. When he
reached his home he knocked loudly
on the door and a voice from the in
side called, "Who is that?" He again
shook the door very hard as he re-
piled. Darn near nobody"

Governor Blease on yesterday is
sued the following statement accord
ing to q Columbia dispatch to the
Spartanburg Herald: If the white
Democrats Of the state endorse the
resolutions offered by Major Richards,
in a conference held in the governors
office yesterday, and which are pub
lished in the mornings papers, and so
signify by their votes for him in the
primary on next Tuesday, | shall at
once issue a call for the general as
sembly to convene in extra session for
the passage Of such laws as are called
attention to in that resolution. II the
white voters Of the state do not agree
with Major Richards in his position on
this matter, think l will be absolute
ly justified in concluding that they do
not want an extra session Of the gen.
eral assembly at this time. / shall,
therefore, wait before passing judg-
ment in the matter upon the returns
of the primary on next Tuesday"

INVASION OF ARMY WORM

The army worm had made its ap-
pearance at Tirzah and in other parts
of this county, as we'll as in many parts
of the Piedmont, and Clemson college
is being beleaguered with requests for
information as to how to meet and ex-
terminate the pest. In reply to such
requests the division of entomology
has prepared a catechism Of questions
and answers which seems to cover the
question pretty thoroughly. The En-
reproduces it herewith for the benefit
of its readers:
|. What is the cotton caterpillar
An insect having four life history
stages: (a) eggs laid on the food
plants; CD Caterpillars resembling
corn ear worms, which hatch from
these eggs; (c) Pupa; when the cater
pillar becomes full grown it either
folds Il leaf over itself or suspends it
self by silken thread from a branch
and changes to the resting or pupa
cd moth, which comes from the pupa.
2. Why called cotton army worm?
Because when the caterpillars are
lllty lIdNtl III uIONeS, anu
this suggests the name.
3. What are its food plants?
Cotton is the normal food plant and
nothing else vii! be molested if an
abundant supply of tender cotton can
be obtained.
4. Is serious damage over large
AREAS expected this season?
No. In many fields the parasites OF
this insect are very abundant, having
been bred by the common grass army
worm. In sections where parasites are
very abundant they should control any
outbreak of the cotton army worm
5. When first seen what should be
done?
Kill the worms AZ far az practicable
by one or more of the methods sug-
geSted below or others that the situa-
ton may suggest.
O. When confined to n field Of cot
ton can they be prevented from spread
ing?
Yes. you can pillow deep furrow
around the field and when the worms
pile up in the furrow drag a log

C. Irby, Jr, candidate for governor in
the recent primary election, has given
out the following statement:
Il wish to thank my friends for their
loyal support and the press for it's
fairness to me.
While / am temporarily defeated,
the principles for which l fought still

Il went into the race with probably
less than 1000 supporters, but now 1

The Russians have changed the
name of their capital from st. Peters
burg, the German form of the word to
Petrograd, the Russian form. This Is
in accord with a sentiment that has de-
veloped throughout Europe and which
finds expression in national hostility
to everything connected with the pow
ers with which the different nations
are at war. Germans will no longer
allow dishes to be served in restau-
rants under French names, and Eng
lishmen will not drink lager beer from
Germany. AS to whether the name
Petrograd will stick after the restora-
ton of peace, remains to be seen.

The cry of hard times" has been ia =
miliar always. No matter how good
the times are there are always people
to call them hard. The cry is going on
continually. OF course there are dis
couraging things in sight now that are
tangible, and people generally are able
are afraid of; but still it is well to re-
member that of all the nations Of the
earth. America is the most favored,
and really has less to be worried
about. Things have always come out
all right heretofore, and they will come
out all right again. Let every man do
his best and the situation will take
care Of itself.

Arrogant, unreasonable selfshness
has never been known to bring peace
happiness or success. 1t is often that
there is wrong and injustice in the
other fellow; but it is never safe to lay
all the blame on him. 1t makes nc
difference how mean the other fellow
may be, there is little good in him.
and sometimes if we will look for 1t
earnestly and conscientiously, we will
be able to find more good in the despis-
ed other fellow than we can find in
ourselves.

- Easley special Of September l. to
Columbia State: After perfecting an
organization Of I. w. W.. at the Pick
ems mill last week. about 60 operatives
walked out of the mill on last Friday
morning. About two-fifths Of the ma
chinery stood that day, but help grad
Ially came in from other places until
at present when about one-fifth or less
is standing. Legal notice has been
served on the strikers that they must
vacate the houses within ten days, as
prescribed BY law, and as soon as these
houses are vacated all the help re-
quired to operate the mill in full can
be easily secured.

The mills in this locality are not try
ing to buy cotton, and Of course we
have no cotton buyers who will at
tempt to lay in heavy supplies except
to fill orders. The producer cannot
sell advantageously under such condi-
tions, and there is no other way for 1t
than that he must wait, if he can.

long as men insist upon being unjust
to each other there are going to be
quarrels, and every man should re-
member as a necessary prerequisite to
peace a fundamental laid down by the
Savior himself, and afterward adopted
as rule Of equity, though seldom lived
up to, That he who would have justice
for himself must first do justice to
others"

The war is bearing down hard on the
newspapers also. Immense quantities
of paper have been coming from Ger
many, England and France, and the
supplies in these countries, Of course is
curtailed tremendously, with the result
that prices are advancing in America.
