By DOROTHY DIX

II VERY now and then some
r. Ancient Mariner, or An
cient Mariness, rises up
and ascends to the Wailing Place,
and beats upon his or her breast,
and cries out that there is no
more gallantry among men, and
that chivalry is dead.
These prophets of woe base
their melancholy prognostica-
tions upon the fact that men are
not as glib at paying women
flowery compliments as they used
to be, nor so supple about jump
ing to pick up a handkerchief
when a lady drops it,, and that
when a tired man gets seat in a
street car he's mighty apt to let a
husky, able bodied woman stand
Therefore, the people who OBJ
serve these small fry phenomena
affirm that chivalry is dead, and
if they happen to be antisuf-
fragists they go a step farther
and assert that they know who
killed Cock Robin. 1t was the
women themselves, and they did
it by going into business and
wanting rights.
1t always makes me mad,
through and through, to hear
anybody claim that chivalry is
dead On the contrary, l assert
that for the first time in the his
tory of humanity, chivalry has
been born into the world, and
that the modern, commonplace,
tweed suited business man could
give Sir Launcelot, and Sir Gal
ahad, and all the other rafting
tin-pan knights of the Table
Round points on a real chivalry
so big and fine that they never
ever dreamed of it, much less
practiced it.
Talk about your chivalry Of
the past, when it wasn't safe for
a woman to put her foot outside
of her own door without some
body going along to protect her!
Talk about your chivalry of the
past, when women were nothing
but slaves Of their men folks,

Why a Needle VIII
Float on Water
BY Edgar Lucien Larkin.
n Lucien Larkin.

n -"EEplGin the philosophy of
X. he surface tension Of liquids
in connection NTH the flotation
Of the needle"
"A steel needle laid carefully
on a still water surface will float,
although the weight of steel or
iron is greater than that of an
equal volume of water
Molecules of liquids cohere, but
with a force far less than in SOL
ids or viscid substances. But the
thin needle of metal gently placed
horizontally on water has not
quite weight enough to break the
surface tension-that is, molecu-
lar atraction-of the water below
it,
Attraction OF molecules is a
force that exerts great influence
in nature Thus this force draws
particles Of water in foss into
drops OF water WHICH are HtdNJ
enough to fall IS rain. Dew is a
formation of minute particles of
water into drops at rest on sur
faces.
The molecular attraction of the
heavy liquid id-mercury-is in
tense. else this :eavy liquid could
not be drawn by it into spheres
or drops. Melted lead forms into
minute globes when let fall in
high shot towers.
There is a great difference in
the intensity of molecular attrac-
tion. as maV be observed in al
cohol gasoline. sulphuric ether
and similar limpid liquids, and oil.
syrup. glycerine and other viscous
liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown
in alcohol or benzine. but they
form readily in water. And the
molecules in the thin films really
attract with some force, else the
bubbles would burst before they
become so large. The most elab-
crate mathematics is required to
handle molecular forces, fit only
for technical journals.

Proposed immigration Laws
Bad for the Farmer
This Nation Needs More Men to Work on the Fam-AND
MORE TO EAT THE FARMS PRODUCTS.

Congress busy at laws to limit immigration Such laws
cruel contrary to the spirit upon which this country
founded harmful to the prosperity of the country DISGRACE
TO THE MEN WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO ES-
TABLIsH "A LAND OF LIBERTY AND HOPE
One suggests that all foreigners shall be kept out unless
they up certain physical standard 1t means that
they must be feet and inches high and weigh many
pounds
Such rule would seem all right applied to hogs
But the rule rather diotic applied to men
point that many of the worlds greatest
beings undee because the of their
bodies their brains instead of going to build big

Leaving aside the brutality cruelty and of the

look the question of immigration today from the point of view
of THE FARMER.

farmers
With the European, Canadian, Argentine Mexican and all
other farms competing with and with tariff pro
farmers-THE MEN WHO PAY HIGH DUTIES ON
WHAT THEY WANT-what is to become of the farms?
Would it not be good idea at least to permit the immi
grants to come to EAT THE THINGS THAT THE FARMS
PRODUCE?
hundred thousand immigrants eat good many bushels of
potatoes, good many pounds of pork and beef
If the farms of this country have been growing wealth

Farmers might interest themselves this immigration prop

Their Acts Are the Very
Highest Proof Of True
Chivalry.

| consider this the highest pos
sible proof of true gallantry and
of real chivalry, for these men
protected the girls against them
selves, and they sacrificed their
own selfish pleasure for the good
of women. When a man has
reached the place where he won't
let a girl waste the sweetness and
fragrance OF her youth on him
when ne knows he can make no
adequate return for it, and when
he refuses to marry unless he
knows he can make his wife hap
py. we have got a modern article
of knighthood in flower that backs
the old brand off the board.
Chivalry deadl Huh! AS Mark
Twain said once concerning
premature obituary of himself
that was printed, Reports of
death greatly exaggerated"

Men Are More Considerate
of Women Now Than
in the Past.

That was the way the chival-
rous man of the past looked at
the tender subject, and all of us
know a dozen women who were
the victims of this selfish and
heartless cruelty How different
ly the man of to-day regards the
matter is attested by hundreds of
letters that come to me from
girls to whom this new chivalry
is so unexpected and novel that
they are 'bewildered by it.
In these letters a girl will
write that she doesn't know what
to think of the conduct of a GER
tain man-that she knows he
likes her, and enjoys her society,
but that he has frankly told her
that he does not want to marry
her, or for some reason that he
can not marry her, and that she
must not let him keep her from
marrying somebody else if she
wants to.
One man told a girl that he
would never marry anybody be-
cause there was insanity in his
family. Another told a girl that
he was too poor to marry. and
that she must not think of wait
ing for him, because it would be
years and years before he could
hope TO support a wife in decent
comfort, and that he would never
marry any woman and drag her
down to poverty.
Still another man told q girl
that he could never marry as long
as his mother lived because he
could never leave her-she had
made the most heroic sacrifices
for him in his childhood-butt that
she was Of so eccentric and dis
agreeable a disposition that it
would be martyrdom for any
young woman to have to live with
her.
Each of these men urged the
girl he liked, or perhaps loved,
to put him out of her thought,
and to marry some more fortu-
nately situated swain while the
sun of her youth and beauty

MONEY FOR SOUTH
AS CROPS DEMAND
Treasury of the United States
Open To the Limit For the
Farmers

Washington, June 15.-Secretary
McAdoo again stands ready to lend a
hand to western and, southern banks In
case they need money for crop moving
purposes, it was announced today. The
plan Of lending government aid to
banks in agricultural districts for use
during crop moving season last year
was so successful that it will be adop-
ted this year, if the necessity arises.
Money loaned by the treasury de-
partment last year was secured mostly
by commercial paper and all the bor-
rowed money had been returned to the
treasury by April 1 together with in
terest amounting to $260,000. The to-
tai amount loaned to banks was $37,-
3S6,OOO. 1t went to 1913 banks in 81
cities of % states.
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would lend $50OO0,0O0 but that much
was not sought. In fact, the secretary
was ready to lend as much at $780,
100000 had the banks in the farming
sections demanded it.

SENATOR SMITH STANDING
PAT ON LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Tells lntevieWers That He Is Prepared TO Face
Aecusers and Will Make Good When Test
Of Battle Comes Spoke at spartanburg

Spartanburg, S. c., June 15.-Sena-
tor E. D. Smith, here today to make the
literary address before graduating
class of Wofford college, gave out an
interview saying that he was ready to
begin his campaign for reelection TO
the United States senate at st. Mat
thews Wednesday. He seemed aware
of the fact that he is to face hard
struggle marked by many tedious crlti-
cisms, but he has faith in the people
Of South Carolina and believes that
they will return him on the strength
of his record. His desire that the peo-
pie know something Of his recoru
seemed to be uppermost in his mind,
and he took occasion to outline what
he has done for the farmers while IN
the Senate, bringing it about that they
are receiving $20,O0O,0OO a year more
for their cotton than they did on an
average ten years ago, that he had in
serted an amendment in the currency
bill to allow farmers six months for
drawing their commercial papers in
stead of ninety days, and that he had
introduced bills for the regulation OF
the cotton exchanges which he con-
sidered. one Of the most far reaching
and most beneficial things he had
done in the senate.
Asked about Wilson's policy with
reference to negroes, which has come
in for criticism in this state, the sena-
tor replied that he did not know what
effect this would have one the cam
paign, that it was a thing that one
preferred not to discuss.
"But one thing I do know, the people
know that Wilson is big lot of seed
corn, the only man that has ever ac-
complished anything, and they would
be fools to throw away all the corn
because of few rotten kernels"

ARRESTED, NEGRO,
Plant Was Not In Operation, But
Coon Had Three Quarts of
BLOCKADE" on Person

Accompanied by Detective W. P.
brennan, Constable J. W. Smith and
Deputy Olin Sanders, Sheriff Joe Ash
ley on Saturday afternoon journeyed
to Edgar Halls plantation, about five
miles from Anderson, and destroyed
a small illicit distillery. The still is
said to have been of about 25 gallons
capacity and it was brought into An
derson by the officials. While the
plant was not in actual operation
when the officers arrived, it showed
that work had been going on shortly
before. Evidently the birds had been
tipped off on the approach OF the Of
fiers and made good their escape
while "the getting was good"
On the way to the place the officers
met a negro by the name Of George
Williford, en- route to Anderson, and
he was halted and searched. The Of
ficials discovered three quarts Of IL
quor of the blockade variety on his
person and Williford was promptly
sent to the county Jail on charge OF
blockading. It will be remembered
that this same negro ives tried
on May IL, at the last session Of the
criminal court for this county, and
sentenced to pay a fine Of $100 for
violating the dispensary laws. The
second case will doubtless go hard
with him if he is convicted.

w. =. Greene HOnOred.

W. P. Greene, Esquire, was recently
elected a trustee of Erskine College, vice
A. Selden Kennedy, resigned.
Mr.. Greene is man Of the greatest lib
erality in both the common and less COM
mon use Of that term, and he is an organ
izer and builder. The Synod could not
have made better selection.
1t is not, however, the per- rsonnel OF tn
appoin tment, but the fact that the Church
is reaching out into outlying congrega-
tions to interest friends and supporters OF
the College that is most hopeful sign
The College should interest itself in its
students even to the remotest bounds OF
the Church, and distant churches will in
turn come to the support of the College.
The Pross and Banner most heartily
congratuHates Mr.. Greene that this honor
has been conferred upon him, and is pre-
pared TO say even in advance, that the
longer he serves the more evident will it
be that the choice was wise one.
