American Counties.

There is very little uniformity
in the size or other charactelis-
tics of the American county. 1t
means something entirely differ
ent from the English county,
which will average 1000 square
miles and a population OF 300, 900.
The smallest county in the UQi-
ted States is Bristol county,
Rhode Island, which covers rs
square miles. The largest is
Custer county, Montana, which
embraces 20, 400 square miles.
The smallest in population is, or
was ten years ago. Brown codn-
ty, Texas, which had four inhab-
itants. The largest is New York
county, which contains between
two and three millions. Before
Nevada was made a state it was
Nevada county, of the Utah ter
ritory, covering more than 100,
600 square miles. There is no
question that in a number IF
states counties might be much
fewer than they are, with ad-
vantage to everybody concerned,
unless perhaps the officehOlders.
We can make this statement be-
cause in proportion to population
Massachusetts has a less number
than any other state, and except
for typographical conditions they
would be fewer still. Boston

Many of the organizations of
the Ohio National Guard lack the
proper kind of local support and
encouragement. The result is
that TIE self-sacrificing work of
the officers and non-commissioned
officers is largely wasted. Should
an emergency arise demanding
the use of the Guard in such CON-
munities they will have them
selves to blame if the service
rendered is inefficient and made
quate. Support of the local CON-
pany with money and recruits
never is regretted.

FOR FLETCHER'S
9 TO "A
Apple Scab.

Professor W. Paddock of the
Horticultural Department of the
College of Agriculture recently
said, in a talk on the causes of
failure in apple crops, that when
all is said and done it will proba-
bly, be found that apple scab is
one of the principal agents caus-
ing the failure of trees to set
fruit. The fungus which causes
apple scah starts into growth in
the spring of the year with the
tree and by the time the tree
blossoms the spores are abund-
ant. These spores are carried in
the air to the tender blossoms
which they attack and may de-
stroy in quantities. The little
fruits may set, but the attack of
fungus saps their vitality and
soon most of them fall. Scab,
he said, can be controlled if or
chardists will only practice thor
ough spraying and that now is
the time to spray.

Did you ever stop to think how
perfectly delightful it must be to
be able to carry on a conversation
and entertain people IF culture?
Those of us who do not enjoy the
thrills of easy conversation know
what a drawback it has been to
Our social life--and how difficult
it is for one to keep the heart and
mind alert with real or imaginary
things of general interest.
If you wish to learn the proper
way to carry on a conversatio"

that you read magazines. They
will tell you how to converse with

Figures IN Temperance
Legislation.

\ The situation as to temperance
legislation in the Senate stated
in figures is this: There are 20
Republican and 13 Democratic
members. Four Req ublicans,
three from Cincinnati and one
from GAINESVILLE, are wet. Thir-
teen Democrats plus four wet
Republicans make II, which is a
l majority, there being 80 men,
bers. These figures have held
the McDermott liquor license de-
CentraIizing bill in the Senate
committee on temperance for two
months.
The first vote to test the TEN.
perance strength came in the
vote last Thursday on the VOL
lenweider bill to restrict wet
shipments into dry territory in
which the Republicans already
mentioned and Wise of Massillon
voted against it and one Demo-
crat, Horn of Orryille. voted for
lit.

ing people must ultimately pay them
through increased rents and interest
rates; while if paper money is issued
the masses must likewise foot the bill
through increased prices.
1t is too bad that the laws of eco
nomics work out in this way, but they
do; and it is useless to try to fool our
selves into the belief that they don't.
The least benefit and the greatest
burden of war fall on the working
people.
Moreover, this burden falls not
only on the working people of the
countries of the war; but, as I shall
show in my next article, it falls also
on the working people of the coun-
tries at peace.

sound pretty good.
Well, a Treasury Note is simply a
form of paper money. When a gov
eminent can no longer sell bonds to
pay for its guns, ammunition and
other supplies in cash it starts the
printing presses making paper money
and pays the people in this paper
money. This is the next step, and
there is no end to the time that it
can be carried on. I
Therefore, don't be fooled by Lloyd
Georges statement that victory will
go to the nation that will raise the
last billion pounds. Before the days
of printing presses this might have
been so. When a nation can sell no
more bonds it will begin to issue
paper money. Then watch out!
What will the result Of this be? It
will Immediately put up prices. AS
the government begins to put out
more money, the people viii naturally
begin to feel that each individual dol
lar is worth less.
This is simply a question of arith-
metic. If the real assets Of cOun-
try are 100000 900 and the nation
has 1OO,OOO,OOO one dollar bills out
standing, each of these bills is worth
one dollar; but if the nation with the
same amount of assets puts out 100,-
100000 additional one dollar bills,
making 2OO,OOO,OO0 together, each |
one will be worth only so cents.
This means that just as soon as the |
governments begin to put out paper |
money, prices of commodities, de-
pendent on supply and demand, begin
to climb as the value of the dollar
decreases.
The wages of the soldiers, how
ever, are fixed by law and Of the other
working people are fixed by custom.
Hence, these remain the same.
Under such conditions the working

Red Cross Seal Commission.

The work of the Red Cross Seal
Commission of South Carolina has
been so successful so far that an ad.
ditional order for 100000 seals has
been wired to headquarters. Al.
ready 100000 seals have been re-
ceived at the commissions office in
Columbia, and by Thanksgiving will
be shipped out to towns throughout
the State and placed on sale from
Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Up to date one hundred and thir.
ty-six public-spirited persons have
volunteered their services in placing
the seals on sale in their respective
towns. Columbia has given an order
for 10000 seals and hopes to make
no less than a thousand dollars by
this means for anti-tuberculosis work
in the city.
The agent for Kingstree is Mrs
Leroy Lee and by the end of next
week will have the seals on sale at
the leading stores of the town. All
persons interested in the movement
for stamping out tuberculosis in our
State will then have an opportunity
to assist in this work by purchasing
Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Other placesin williamsburg z coun-
ty where the seals will be sold are:

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation.
Neglect Of Important Function May
Seriously Impair The Health.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a
constipa.ed condition.
Bloat, with it's attendant mental
depression, sick-headache, the belch-
ing of sour stomach gases, etc, are
frequently due to inaction of the
bowels. Relieve the congestion and
the trouble usually disappears. The
use of cathartics and purgatiyes
should be avoided, however; these
shock the system unnecessarily and,
at best, their effect is but tempo
rary. A mild laxative is far prefer
able.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known as DR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
fifty cents a bottle. is highly recon-
mended. Mr. Benz Basin, 260 Madi-

earn an honest living. Usually they
leave the home at the age of 16 to
l18, unless an earlier discharge is
found advisable. Their support de-

BOOKER WASHINGTON DEAD.
Negro Educator Passes Away at
TuSkegee.

Tuskeegee, Ala, November ID
Booker T Washington, negro educa-
tor, lecturer, author and recognized
leader of his race in America, died
at his home here early today four
hours after his arrival from New
York.
Washington had not been in good
health for several months and suf-
fered nervous breakdown in New
York last week. He had gone there
to attend the annual meeting of the
American Missionary association and
the National Conference of Congre-
gational churches.
He did not respond to treatment
at hospital in New York and de-
cided to come back home. He had
often said that his work had been
among Southern negroes, that he
was Southern negro and that it
was his wish to live, die and be bur-
led in the South. He left New York
Friday afternoon. The trip seemed
to sap his remaining energy, and he
died quickly soon after his removal
to his home.

tivities in building up Tuskeegee In

twenty-five years had commanded

STORAGE OF COTTON.
importance of Protection from
Exposure Is Stressed.

Washington, d C, November 16:-
1t is very important, according to the
specialists of the U S Department
of Agriculture, that all cotton that
is not marketed when ginned should
be stored or placed in position
where it will be protected from in
Jury by moisture. Where cotton is
exposed to rain it is subject to seri'
Gus injury; and where it is sheltered
but left in contact with the wet
ground it is likely to become seri-
ously damaged. 1t is frequently the
case that people do not realize the
amount of damage that is done. In
many instances cotton appears from
the outside of the bale to be in fair
" good condition when it IS badly in.
jured inside, due to the fact that
moisture has been allowed to pene-
trate the bale, thus causing midew.
1t is not unusual, according to the
departments data, for cotton to suf-
fer a loss of from So to SIS per bale
as result of unnecessary exposure.
At all times it should be kept off the
ground and properly sheltered.
Where it is impossible to place it in
a warehouse it should be protected
by a dry shed, or it may be placed
On poles or timbers which will keep
it several inches from the ground,
and covered with tarpaulins. Pro-
tected in this way, it can be held for
six months or even a year with very
little damage.
In some sections the farmers and
business men have organized compa-
MES for the purpose of constructing
warehouses in order to protect the
cotton. This, the investigators be-
lieve, is move in the right direc-
ton. and every community should
take this precaution where the ware
houses now available are not ample
for the protection of the cotton
crop. They point out, however, that
rrnany of these communities are
making a serious mistake in con-
structing cheap warehouses. It has
been ,conclusively shown that there
lis an annual loss of several million
dollars in the cost of insurance. This
loss is brought about primarily by
the construction of cheap ware
houses. The rate of insurance on
these cheap structures ranges from
2 per cent to 4 per cent per annum,
while it is possible to insare cotton
in the standard warehouse at t Of
Der cent per annum. The cheap
structures last comparatively few
wears and cost almost as much as the
standard warehouse. The saving IN
insurance will pay for the difference
in cost of the warehouse in a very
short time. While it is better to
construct inexpensive warehouses
than it is to allow the cotton to be
