The auditorium Of the opera house
was beautifully decorated for the floral
fair. Green was the dominating color,
and the various booths were planted In
various sections Of the spacious room.
| The dining room was in the rear of the
auditorium, prettily decorated; the
stage contained beautiful bronze and
white and yellow chrysanthemums in
addition to potted plants and other
pretty flowers.
A small army Of pretty Glover girls
were kept busy during the day in serv-
ing the many people, both from Glover
and the community surrounding, their
noon tide and evening meals. Many
good things were offered to eat such as
salads, chicken, pickle, cake, cream,
ETC., and the ladies in charge took in
goodly sum from this department.
A unique feature Of the floral fair
was a Halloween booth. The roof of
the booth was composed Of corn husks
and the sides Of the compartment were
made Of green tissue paper, bunting
and ivy. Pretty towels and bags were
for sale here and practically the entire
stock was sold.
The candy booth, the doll exhibit and
the embroidery department were all
artistically arranged, and did good
business. At all hours Of the day the
building was we'll filled with visitors,
most of whom purchased some article
or articles before taking their depar-
ture.

In a speech before the American Bar
association some days ago, President
Wilson maintained the desirability OF
shaping the law in the direction OF
justice, and away from the mere mat
ter of upholding legal precedents. 1t
is pleasant to have the president, who
was once a lawyer, doing missionary
work along this line; but people who
have a fairly comprehensive knowl-
edge of conditions as they exist, will
not take a great deal Of encourage
ment. The great masses Of the peo-
pie even now think that the chief Of
flee Of the law is to secure justice; but
lawyers generally know very much
better. With them the main object of
a suit at law is to settle the issues in
volved. AS to how the issues are set
tied, whether justly or unjustly is a
matter Of very little concern. Prece-
dent rules everything, and as both the
law and the facts depend upon the tes-
timony, the all important thing is to
end. For instance, though a man may
be alive and in the court room, it may
judicially established that he is dead,
and though a man may have deliber-
ately and by design sustained great
personal damage, it may be judicially
established that railroad corporation
or an individual Is responsible. OF
course to do things like this generally
involves lying and perjury Of the more
fragrant and constituencies kind, that
does not matter because the common
rule is that if it can be gotten by the
counsel on the other side and the
Judge, it is all right. President Wilson
is exactly right in his desire for re-
form in legal procedure; but he will
have to do quite lot Of good mission
ary work along that line before there
can be a great deal Of hope for prac-
tical results.

Reports from New York financial
centres are to the effect that there is
a growing belief on the part Of the ex-
perts there, that if the demand Of the
warning powers for war material and
supplies continues at the present rate
for six months or a year, America will
be able to pay all her debts abroad,
and become the banking nation Of the
world. War materials, foodstuffs and
the like,are being used at more prod
igal rate than has ever been known be-
fore in the history Of the world, and
European manufacturers Of war mate
rials are no more able to keep pace
with requirements than are the Euro
pean farmers. This is especially true,
since so many laborers and workmen
are now employed as soldiers engaged
in destruction rather than production.
Europe has heretofore owned more
gold per capita than America; but the
outlook now is that before the war is
over America will take pretty nearly
all that gold that Europe has.

The business Generalization and un-
certainty which began to develop early
in the fall, has about spent its force,
and the situation is now settling down
to normal with every prospect of
steady Improvement, except that there
is very little reason to hope that the
price Of cotton will advance to more
than q or cents within the next six
months. That the next cotton crop will
be so per cent less than the present
crop is practically certain; but in the
light Of conditions as they exist, even
that does not argue the probability OF
much better prices.

The American ambassador at Berlin
has notified Washington that Germany

In speaking in favor of the passage

that future generations would be sad

good for the entire town and vicinity.

AS Mr.. Blair Sees II.


Columbia State, Wednesday: Il be-
lieve that the hail storm will prove a
blessing in disguise to the farmers of
York county. 1t has taught them the
benefits Of diversifcation," said j. r.
Blair county agricultural agent for
York county Monday, as he explained
the excellent exhibit which has been
sent to the state fair. The exhibit has
been prepared by Mr.. Blair and A. A.
NcKeown. agricultural agent for the
Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
McKeown was for some time manager
Of the Fairwold farm in Richland
county. A big section of York county
was practically devastated by severe
hail storm July 6. Practically every
farm crop in the section was Destroy
ed. The farmers were in a serious
plight However. they went to work
and with the expert advice Of Mr.. Nc
Keown and Mr.. Blair have succeeded
we'll The farmers planted corn. pota-
toes. cowpeaS, millet and sorghum and
they have made fairly good crops.
They have plenty Of corn in the de-
vastated section" said Mr.. Blair yes
terday. and some of the farmers will
make from % 10 30 bushels per acre
despite the fact that it was planted
after July G." The farmers in the dis
trict damaged by the storm will make
from two to four tons Of hay to the
acre. according to Mr.. Blair. They
will make about about 90 bushels Of
peas to the acre.

SlCkENED BY CALOMEL,

If you ever saw anyone made

more calomel yourself. There's nc
real reason why person should
take calomel anyway, when fifty
cents will buy a large bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone-a good rem
edy that perfectly and safely takes
the place of dangerous calomel,
which is only another form of deadly
and poisonous mercury.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas

will start the liver just as surely as
calomel, and which has absolutely
no bad after-effects.
Children and grown people can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without
any restriction of habit or dlet.
The City Drug Store sells it and
it to take the place of
calomel and will refund your money
at once if it fails in your case.

Cotton Warehouses in Texas.

Austin, Tex, Oct. S.-Applications
have been received, it was said
here today, from over $50 communi-
ties for the establishment of cotton
warehouses, provided for the emer.
gency bonded warehouse law, recent
ly passed. 1t was taken for granted
that the warehouse plan was ap,
proved by persons throughout the
state. Comparatively few warehouses
have yet been authorized but it was
said that many would be in a short
time.
w. w. Collier, commissioner of in
surance and banking, predicts there
will be 100000 bales of cotton
stored in Texas warehouses within
few months, and points out that all
cotton thus stored is insured by his
department, and the warehouse re-
ceipts guaranteed by the state.
