ealked immediately, and in the fury of the tempest, he had himself lowered over side in long canvas bag fitted with legs like brooches buoy, and sleeves and a glass window for him to see through. Nothing like this bag had ever been known on land or sea, but it answered fairly well; the canvas tube protected Williamson from the smash of the waves the sleeves gave his arms freedom for the calking, and finally the job was done.
 From thls crude canvas bag, after years of struggle and disappointment, has come the Williamson deep-sea tube that is now in way to accomplish such wonderful things. This tube has three essential features; it is large enough to let a man pass up or down inside it; it is strong enough to resist the pressure of the sea to considerable depth, and is flexible

Only 2i0 Have Paid In Charleston
This Year, Against 5O7 Last Wear.
Columbia, Aug. 25.-Indications of
the results which it is believed are
due to the raiding by constables sent
to Charleston by Gov. Manning to en-
force the liquor laws are shown sig
hihcantly by the great falling off in
the number of persons and firms pay
ing the revenue liquor tax to the
United States government for this
year as compared with last year. Fig
ures obtained from the records in the
office of United States Revenue Col
lector Hayward, by this correspondent,
show that 507 paid the revenue tax in
Charleston last year. while SO far
only 216 have paid the tax for this
year, n falling off Of 291, or about GO
per cent.
The number of persons and firms in
Charleston county which paid the
United States revenue liquor license
tax for the year ending July. 1915,
was 507. Those who have paid this
tax for the ensuing year. that Is, up
to August 10. number ZIG in Charles
ton, n falling off of 291. The year
runs from July to July and the reve-
nue. liquor tax must be paid in ad-
vance.
The total number I'm the whole

SODA KILLS ARMY WORM.
Report on Interesting Experiment
From Kershaw COunty-Instructivo
Letter.
To the Editor Of The State:

To the Editor OF The State:
For several days 1 have been trying
to destroy the army worm which L
discovered infesting my farm. Pois-
oning by busting or spraying with
Paris green I found very slow and
expensive. 1 then tried heavy ap-
plications of salt and found this would
Kill many OF the young ones but not
the old ones.
1t occurring to me. that nitrate of
soda would kill cattle. poultry, etc.,
when eaten by them, 1 decided to ex-
pertinent with 1t, so selected
a dozen worms of various ages and
put them in a. basin with small bits
OF tender grass. sprinkled this grass
with water and then with soda. The
worms were very active for a short
time, but soon became helpless. The
young ones died in ten minutes and
at the expiration 70 80 minutes all
were dead. I then selected q small
bunch Of grass in the garden, cleaned
the ground all around it, dissolved q
heaping teaspoonful of nitrate of soda
In a pint OF water and sprinkled this
grass which had large number of
worms on it and watched for results;
the worms stopped eating and crawl
ing Immediately and in two hours all
were dead. 1 am satisfied that q
dressing of 100 pounds of nitrate Of
soda per acre applied when the grass
Is damp from dew or otherwise will
exterminate the worms.

Good Advice to Farmers.

The following Is reproduced from
The Manufacturers Record. 1t is
pretty sound:
Don't be misled into selling your
cotton at five or six cents a pound, as
you were last fall. by politicians and
pexsimists.
Don't get frightened and rush your
cotton to market except to the extent
that you have % sell II 20 meet your
financial obligations. for the undue
crOwding OF cotton on the market
plays into the hands OF the specula-
tors. who ~ the tactics now being
employed would break down the price
of your cotton. and enable them u
buy II to their profit and to your
loss. as they did last year.
Don't expect either this govern
ment or any other to buy your cot
ton, The government has no more
right to buy cotton than to buy grain
or hogs.
Don't look for any uneconomic and
impossible legislation in behalf of cot
ton. for most OF the theories advanc-
ed have bordered on asininity. and
some OF them have quite reached that
stage.
Don't for a momont think you can
barter your honor and your soul and
shape your convictions as to right or
wrong in world affairs for the price
OF bale OF cotton.
Don't seek TO blackmail other
countries by threatening retaliation
because their work may interfere
with tho temporary selling price Of
your cotton.
Don't permit politicians or others
to hold you up before the world as
willing To- accept brlbe. and TO
shape your Judgment OF right and
wrong in human affairs by the price
that this country or that might be
willing to pay for your cotton.
Don't forget that though you have
ought to have produced. there is an
intrinsic value In cotton which can
not 90 permanently destroyed.
Don't forget that you can carry
your cotton for years without its de-
terioration, and that the time will
come. unless the South continues to
arow mora cottnn thon tho ,,,nrta ,,a
mands, when every bale of cotton
will be needed at good price.
Don't defraud your creditors by re-
fusing To sell cotton to meet your OBJ
legations. but when you have sold
enough To pay your debts, don't for
get that the balance Is yours TO hold
until doomsday II you please. and
await the time when the world will
pay your price for IT,
Don't. above all else. permit your
self to be mlsled into believing that
your cotton Is worth more than your
honor: that your cotton must set
your standard OF morals In studying
world affairs.
Don't forget that he who poses
the cotton growers of the South be.
fore the world as beggars askinp
aims. or as regarding bale
OF cotton OF more value thar
human life. or the price pei
pound OF cotton more To he consid.
cred than individual and nationa
honor. Is the worst enemy the South
has ever had or can ever have.
