RAISE A PIG.
If YOU wish to own an auto
That will travel fast and far
If you have a great desire
For a splendid private car
Raise a pig.
If you're sick of serving others
And are looking for a change,
If you wish to gaze at wonders
That are far away and strange
Raise a pig
If you wish to get from under
The big burdens which you bear,
If you wish to go to Wall Street
And create furore there;
IL, in short, you have longing
To become a millionaire,
There's a way-don't overlook it,

Sudden Deaths In q SilO.

recent fatal accident in Ohio calls
attention to a danger to farmers which
cannot be too widely circulated. Since
1875, when the first American silo
was built hy DR.. Manley Miles, this
method of preserving forage for live
stock has been generally adopted. AL
though the department of Agricul-
ture has frequently called attention
to the danger Of carbon dioxid gas
accommodating in silos under certain
conditions no fatalities have been re-
ported heretofore. On the morning
Of September 19, four workmen on the
farm Of the Athens (Ohio) State Hos
pital, ascended the ladder on the out
side Of silo to an open door about
twelve feet from the top and jump
ed down one after another into the
silage. the top Of which was about six
feet below the door. About five min
utes after, two other workmen follow
ing them found them unconscious. AL
though a force Of workmen were i'm
mediately summoned and the bodies Of
the four men removed at once through
lower door, the physicians Of the
hospital who were at once on the
ground were unable to resuscitate any
Of the four men. Evidently the car
bon dioxid gas had accumulated dur
ing the night, filling the silo up to
the level Of the door and forming
layer of carbon dioxid gas six feet
deep. Such accidents, says The Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton, might easily be repeated on any
modern farm. Agriculture journals
should call the attention of the farm
ers to this danger and should urge
that silos be carefully ventilated be-
fore being entered.

God or Satan?
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
In answer to a telegram from the
Bremen Senate congratulating him on
the victory Of German warships over
"a British squadron in Chilean waters,
Emperor William returned a message
in the following terms:
I rejoice with the entire German
people over this splendid proof of the
true German sailor spirit. 1 pray
God still to grant our weapons victor
les on land to the confusion of all
the plans of our enemies for the de-
struction of German being and in
fluence.
TO Johannes Kaempf, president Of
the Reichstag. the Emperor wired as
follows:
The heroic defense of Using Tau,
that model settlement Of German Gull
ture, built with the labor Of many
years, brings new laurels to the spirit
of faithfulness unto death which
the German people have so often
shown since their army and their fleet
have been in defensive warfare against
a world of hatred, envy and covetous-
ness, a war which, if God wills, will
not be in vain.
The allies, on the other hand, ap-
peal to the same God to give them VIC
tory over the Germans as the forces
Of anti-Christ, so to speak.
Is God, then, a partisan, as these
warning powers appear to believe, or
is not his Santanic Majesty at the bot
tom of the whole war mess, as neu-
trail observers are disposed to agree /?

DAMAGES IN UNUSUAL SUIT.
Southern Express Company Penalizcd
for Delay i'm Handling Head Of Dog.

Columbia, Nov. 13.-Because Of the
alleged delay in delivery Of a"mad
dog head" shipped from Greenville
to Columbia, the supreme court, in q
decision by Associate Justice Fraser,
has affirmed verdicts awarded N. w.
Miller, f. S. Miller and T. w. Miller
of Greenville against the Southern
Express company.
The head Of dog thought to be
mad was delivered to the express COM
pany in Greenville, according to the
opinion, for shipment TO Columbia.
1t was claimed that the head was de-
layed in transit. The board Of health
physicians in Columbia, it was claim
ed, were unable to make an examina-
ton as to whether dog was affected
with rabies. The plaintiffs, not re-
ceiving report as to the condition
of the dog, gave the Pasteur treat
ment for hydrophobia to the children
bitten. Later, it was found that the
treatment was unnecessary. Suit was
instituted and verdicts were returned
against the express company in vary
ing amounts. The supreme court
held that the head should have been
rushed to Columbia with all possible
haste.

A Big Mistake.
Observer.

Ncwberry Observer.
The Grcenvillc News. speaking of
the attempted suicide in that city Of a
young man of twenty-One, said
"Friendless and without money, with
out anything that makes life worth
living"
The young man and The News both
make very great mistake. A young
man of twenty-One. even without q
friend or q penny, has much to live
for. especially if he is living in this
land OF the free and home of the
brave" Thousands OF young men in
like circumstances have risen out OF
their surroundings and made useful,
wealthy and distinguished citizens.
Look at Benjamin Franklin. homeless
and friendless, walking Ihc streets OF
Philadelphia eating piece of bakers
bread which nc had bought with his
last penny and see him later one of
the greatest men America ever pro-
duced. Any young man Of twenty-onc
with average health, is rich. There is
no other riches compared to youth.
This is great country for the
young man. Opportunities are al
about him. If he does not succeed il
is his own fault. If he hasn't money
ne can earn it. If he hasn't friends
he can make them. Diligence is al
he needs. The Psalmist says: Sees;
thou "a man. diligent in business: he
shall not stand before mean men; h,
shall stand before kings" Franklin
the poor boy, stood before KINGS. Ha
