he had been asking, begging, implor-

led percentage of this kind of ammuni-
ton. He had plenty of shrapnel, but
shrapnel-which was a very effective
weapon in the Boer war-was about
as useful against the strongly con-
creted trenches of the Germans as
water from sprinkling can. Kitche-
ner kept sending Sir John shrapnel
in huge quantities, but ignored his
plea for increased percentage of high
explosives, although, his friends as
sert, there were large stores of the
latter available. One result of this
lack of high explosives at the British
front was the practical failure of the
British in the recent combined Of
fensive in which they undertook with
the French. In one engagement the
British lost $1,000 in killed, wound
led and captured as against the French

to the fact that the British artillery
fire had failed effectively to clear the
ground for the infantry advance
Threatened revelations in this con-
nection precipitated the crisis. The
Conservatives who have supported the
government from the start, although
they had no say in the conduct of the
war decided at last that it was time
to act. Bonar Law, their leader, in
timated to Asquith that he could not

the floor of the house. The Liberals
cried "blackmail But Asquith,
foreseeing that the active antagonism
of the opposition, in these circum

of the already badly disorganized Lib
eral ministry, took the only possible
course. He invited the opposition to

1t is a tribute not only to AS
quith's craftsmanship but also to his
remarkable hold over his followers
that he was able quickly to bring his
party into line. The Liberal member

protest Immediately after Asquith
had announced from the floor that a
coalition ministry was being ar
ranged. They began to "rock the

PERILS OF BAD AIR.

Reduced Vitality, Loss Of Appetite and
General Bad Health.
Air is bad when it is overheated,
when it contains an excess Of moisture
and when it is chemically contaminat
ed. This is the conclusion of the New
York state commission on ventilation
as summarized by Professor G. r. A.
Winslow, chairman.
The first indictment against bad air
shows that an increase in temperature
beyond the normal 70 degrees pro-
duces serious arrangement of the vaso-
motor mechanism Of the body, result
ing in rise Of temperature, increased
with corresponding decrease in eff
cheney, both physical and mental. In
addition to this, overheating conduces
to an undesirable congestion of the
mucous membranes of the nose, thus
possibly paving the way for colds, sore
Threats and attacks of various germ
diseases.
The work of the commission also
proves that chemical accumulations in
the air as result of air stagnatiOn
bring about decreased appetite for
food, which, in turn, must have an I'M
favorable effect on the entire body.
In the commissions experiments the
people living in fresh air ate ~ to 13
per cent more than those living In stag
nant air. ~
These experiments" says Professor
Winslow, indicate that fresh air Is
needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation IS
just as essential to remove heat pro-
duced by human bodies as it was once
thought to be to remove the carbon
dioxfde produced by human lungs, and
it is now proved also to be essential for
carrying away chemical products which
exert q measurable effect upon the ap-
petite for food. People who live and
work In overheated and unventilated
rooms are reducing their vitality and
rendering themselves an easy prey to-
all sorts Of d5geaees' =

ANOTHER VICTIM OF EXTRACTS.
Mart S. Sweeney Succumbs to Effects
So Alcohol and Extract Mixture.

81 ,.rt S. Sweezey died at his home
in she High Falls section of the coun-
ty last Saturday night from an attack
due to alcoholic poisoning. During
Saturday he called DR.. ]. J. Thode
into his shop on Main street and
asked him to give him some simple
remedy that the physician had fire.
quantity prescribed for common all
me.3t, and this Dr.. Thode did Only
a short while later Mr.. Sweeney again
haled the doctor and asked him for
the same medicine, and was told that
he{had already gotten it. Sweeney
stoutly maintained that he had not
only not gotten the medicine, but
that he had not seen Dr.. Thode le-
fore that day.
8Ihis peculiar condition Of the
mans mind attracted DR.. Thode's at
tertion to the gravity of the situa-
tioss, and he noted then that he was
under the influence Of some drug or
drink. Inquiry finally brought the
admission that he was drinking
coiieoction of alcohol, lemon extract
and tHot Tom" He maintained,
however, that he had drunk but two
small bottles of the mixture, but it
was found later that he had made
way with some eight or nine of them.
Thes'Hot Tom" stun to which he
refeTred is a liquid used in manufac-
turing certain soft drinks, and chief
ingTedient is Cheyenne pepper. He
stateG that he used this to kill the
bad effects of the other ingredients
of the mixture. He was urged to
qutthe stuff, but the only reply the
physician got was that he was going
to drink a lot of the d stuff and
50 tpAhell."
AThis conversation between the
M ! : q and !nhNsician took lplsee during;
Saturday, and it was Saturday night
that SweeZey died. There is no
doubt that his death was due to the
effects of the concoction that he had
been taking. A jury OF inquest
| made inquiry into the facts OF the
| case, and their finding was to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death as a result of poisoning at his
own hands
This is the third victim OF this
horrible extract drinking that has
| taken place here within thirty days.
| On December 31st viii Kiser died
| neIe from the same cause. and on the
day following j. +. Sweeney sue
cumbed. The two SweeZeys were
brothers. j. f. Sweeney operated a
shoe repaig' shop here, and after his
death his brother came from the
High Falls section to run the shop.
Mart S. Sweezey is survived by a
\ wife and several small children. He
was about 80 years of age.
The body OF the unfortunate man
was buried Monday afternoon at
Wolf Stake burying ground by the
side Of his brother, who had preceded
him to the grave only thirty days.

ming stated Saturday that he would
sign the bill repeating the enactment
of the special Legislature limiting
cultivation in this State Of cotton to
one-thIEd nf the arabic lands, which
will be presented to him late Friday
for his signature.
When asked whether he would
sign the bill repeating the acreage

81 will sign the bill repeating cot
ton acreage reduction. / make this
statement in order that our farmers
may know definitely what to expect
and to be able to pitch their crops
and make their arrangements for the
season. This action or the Legisla-
ture relieves me Of the effort to en-
force law for which no provision
was made for enforcement, and 1t
would seem an injustice to the small
farmers to require such reduction by
legal enactment when no other State
in the cotton-raising belt required it,
Material and heavy reduction in
South Carolina's cotton acreage will
be automatic by reason Of the heavy
losses incurred on last years crop
and the depression in business re-
sulting therefrom.

from a single money crop will be
lasting, and that in diversification Of
crops. cattle and stock raising, our
farmers will prepare for the condi-
ton that will be upon us in few
years from the approach Of the boil
wcevil. The time is upon us when
we must meet this situation. | hope
that campaign Of education on this
subject will awaken our people to
the necessity Of solving our market
ing problems, so that efforts to di-
Versify our crops will not be abortive
or bring less to those who try it.
Raise home supplies and provide
sane plan for leasing surplus crops

stock.
I'VE must raise cotton more eco
nomically-the largest item of ex-
pense is the fertilizer bill, and yet
reduction Of the fertilizer bill should
be by reducing acreage in cotton
rather than in cuTtailing the amount
OF fertilizer used per acre"

FARMERS TO MEET FEB. 13.
TO Meet in Every County and Dis
CuSs Fertilizer Practices, Etc.

Clemson College, Feb. 2.-Spe-
cial: "Fertilizer and Economy Day"
will be held at each county seat in
South Carolina on Saturday, Febru-
ary 18th. This announcement is
made by w. w. Long, State agent of
demonstration and director of extern
sion work at Clemson College At
each county seat a meeting will be
held and there will be addresses on
the two topics mentioned in the
name of the occasion. Mr.. Long
urges that all farmers note the day
and make inquiries of their county
agents or others for the particulars
Of the meeting in order that they
may attend and join in the exchange
Of ideas on these two very import
ant subjects.
The extension and demonstration
forces OF Clemson College had plan
ned to hold Economy Day in South
Carolina at an earlier date and it IS
announced that such a day" would
be held the latter part of December.
Mr.. Long saw, however, that unex-
| pected increases in the burdens of
the organization were going to make
necessary the postponement OF this
occasion. Just at that time, also,
there began to pour into various Of
fees at Clemson CoNege requests for
| information about what fertilizers to
use under present abnormal condi-
tiOns. Farmers by the hundreds
have been seeking information from
the college on the fertilizer practices
to be followed in 1915. The demand
became SO large that Prof. J. n. Har-
per, dean Of the agricultural depart
ment, prepared a special bulletin on
the subject and copies of this bulle-
tin-Extension Bulletin Bare to be
had upon application ito the s,exten-
sion division.
Because OF the conditions existing,
Mr.. Long decided to put off the
Economy Day" program and to
combine it at a later date with a
program in which information on fer
tilizers would be given to farmers
This Date is February 18th,
and the occasion has Neen named
'"FertiliZer and Economy Day" The
meetings will be addressed by speak
ers who will confine themselves to
short, practical addresses. I'VE can
promise those who attend that there
will be no long speeches." said Mr.
Long
"Fertilizer and Econo.ny Day" is
to he as much for the farmers wife
as fer the farmer. Much thought
has been given by exl erts at Clemson
to the preparation of an outline of
methods in which saving can be eff
| fected on the farm and in the farm
house. Mr.. Farmer is urged to b"ing
| Mrs. Farmer to the meeting With
him.
Posters will be prepared and placed
in conspicuous positions throughout
the State and the meetings will in
other ways be brought to the atten-
ton Of the public. The idea has
very strong support among those
who have been consulted for their
opinions. Leading bankers have ex-
pressed themselves as enthusiastic
over the prospects for good results
from meetings of the sort proposed.
