pontifical robes. Pope Benedict XIV
today received in audience the cardi-
nails who yesterday elevated him to
the throne of st. Peter. Though the
shadow of the great war has hung low
over the cardinals since they arrived
here for conclave, none of the stately
ceremonial incident to the first audi

day.
The cardinals, filing before the pom
tiff. kissed his hand and foot, this ter
minating the ceremony of obedience
that began after yesterdays election
Each cardinal was in turn embraced
by the Pope, who whispered comfort
ing words to Cardinal Mercier, the
aged Belgian prelate. Cardinal Mer-
cier was in tears as he approached the
throne, but he turned away there with
a smile on his face, the first that has
shown since he arrived from Belgium
AS soon as the coronation ceremo-
nies are concluded on Tuesday the
cardinal will return to his war torn
country, for which he has been griev-

General Gallieni, military governor
of Paris, explains the steady rearward

due to strategic necessities. General
Gallfeni issued the following statement
upon the situation.
"The situation is looked upon with
somewhat serious aspect. Reports
from the front say that the advance
of the Germans upon the allies right

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-President
Wilson asked congress today to pass
measures to raise $1OO,OOO,0OO addi-
tional revenue through internal taxes.
Addressing a joint session of the SEN
ate and the house of representatives,
he suggested that immediate action
be taken in order that the sources of
revenue chosen should yield a Ger
tain and constant flow"
The president stated that during the
month of August there was a falling
off of $10,629,53S in customs compared
with the same month last year, and
pointed out that continuatio of this
condition would result for the current
fiscal year of loss of from $50, 900, 900
to $100,00O,0O0.
This Is due, he said, to a decrease
in imports owing to the extraordinary
extent of the European war, and not
to the tariff reductions.
"Hesitation and delay are the worst
forms of bad policy under such con-
dition," said the president after point
ing the risk that would be run If the
additional revenue were not raised.
The address of the president in part
follows:
Gentlemen OF the Congress:

duty which l wish with all my heart

WATER BURDEN ON THE FARM.

A farm woman who gets water
from well with a bucket has to draw
water from the we'll, pour it into an
other bucket entails lift of 12O
pounds, and. since food cannot be pre-
pared, cooked and dishes washed
with much less than six buckets per
meal, the farm woman will handle ev
cry day fully 1000 pounds in getting
water from the source of supply to the
point of application, if the we'll is con-
venient.
If the well is conveniently located
on the water has to be toted up from a
spring some distance away, the
drude ery of the woman's labor is very
much enlarged. There is no let up in
this drudgery, for it is practically the
same every day, every week, every
month, every season, every year, be-
ing worse at times. 1t is 1000 pounds
every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, forever. This drudgery of get
ting water from the source of supply
to the point of application probably
constitutes more than one-half of the
woman's drudgery on thief arm. This
drudgery can be practically eliminat-
ed by cheap and efficient waterworks.

FLOWING UNDER PEAVINES.

"Will green peas turned under in
the fall be of much benefit to the
crop the following spring."
Yes, it will be of great benefit to
thee rop planted on the land the fol-
lowing spring if the land is in need
of humus and nitrogen, as most
Southern lands are.
Some of the peavnes will decay
during the winter and. mt least a small
part of the nitrogen which they con-
tain will become dissolved in the soil
water. If there is no cover crop on
the land during the winter to use this
nitrogen which becomes soluble in the
soil water from the decay of the pea
vines it may be lost by being leached
out In the drainage water. Although
this loss is not likely to be large when
peavines arep lowed under late in the
fall, it is probably sufficient, owing to
our open winter weather, to make il
advisable to put cover crop on the
land to pillow under in the spring, or
to defer blowing the cowpeas under
until January or February. This be-
comes all the more likely to prove
profitable if the land lies so that
washing is a factor of Importance. A
cover crop is the preferable method
when 1t is practicable, even if it be

THAT SIDEWALK-AGAIN.

Something was said in last issue of
this paper about the sidewalk in front
of Mrs. O'Keeffe's property, and this
side. As matter of fact, there is no
sidewalk there. Some time last year,
if not the year before, somebody, by
somebody's order, tore up the old di-
lapidated plank walk, and turned it
over down the bank, as a precaution,
it is said, against possible accidents
to pedestrians and resultant law
suit against the town for damages.
Since that time there has been no
sidewalk there except the natural
dirt path furnished by nature, and this
is narrow, rough and in wet weather
cannot be used at all. Just beyond,
Maj. Henry and George Mccall have
built n nice, broad concrete sidewalk.
Beyond this, and to the cemetery,
there is, part of the way, an old ram
shackle plank walk. Now, if possible,
this sidewalk, all the way to the GEM
etcry should be put in shape. There
are times when this walk is used by
large number of people, attending
burials, etc, at the cemetery, and in
wet, muddy weather it is very dis
agreeable and provoking. The mid
die of the street furnishes good walk
ing in dry weather, but already this
new roadway is wearing full of holes,
and is muddy in wet weather. Let
the walkway-thc via dolores, to the
cemetery, and for the good people US
ing that sidewalk daily, be made a.
least passable.

WHERE OUR TROUBLE LIES.

The Blackstone Courier has q time
ly editorial under the caption, "Where
We Are Deficient" in its issue of last
week. 1t shows wherein many COM
munities of the South are experiencing
business depression while other sec
lions are enjoying prosperity. The
reason as stated plainly is that these
depressed communities have nothing
to sell that is at once available or
wanted. Nearly every paper read
these days tell of some big order
placed by one of the warning coun-
tries of Europe for supplies to be
furnished by this country, but so far
we have not seen where one of these
has been placed in the South. >
First, we read of orders for thous-
ands of horses thousands
of pairs of shoes thous-
ands of pairs of socks, (and, it might
have added, blankets), not one comes
to the South. Every fac
tory in the North and West, many of
which were temporarily shut down
when war was declared, have resum-
cd operations with orders-rush or
ders, to keep them busy for long
time" Exactly. If this war. with
its attendant results does not bring
about change in things in the South.
then are Southerners thick-headed in
deed, and slow to learn.
Our contemporary truthfully adds:
I'VE have the country for the horses,
we have it for the sheep and cattle,
we have it for the factories, but that
is all. How long will it be thus with
us?" Molasses might be rained from
the clouds, but unless fellow had n
bucket of some kind to catch molasses
IN he wouldn't get any. Then whv
complain and growl because he is
compelled to eat his buckwheat cakes
dry SO? Whose fault is it that En-
ropean agents are spending big money
in Eastern, Northern and Western
cities, instead of in the South?
This war. and the depression in the
South, will do good. There must be
