Too Long a Time.

Sir William Osler, the famous En-
glish doctor, who has just gone to
the front with the McGill univer-
sity base hospital, has been making
a strong appeal to soldiers to allow
themselves to be inoculated against
typhoid fever. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago Sir Will
liam caused a great deal of talk by
suggesting that the average man was
too old at 40.
Sir William tells the following
amusing story to prove the import
ance of medical men being very ex-
plicit in their directions to their pa
tients.
A young foreigner who consulted
a doctor about his health was advis-
ed by the medico "to drink hot wa
ter an hour before breakfast everv
morning"
The patient went away promis-
ing to do as he was told, but a few
days later he returned and COM
planned that he felt much worse.
"That's curious" said the doc
tor; did you do as l told you and
drink that water an hour before
breakfast every morning?"
Il did my best, SIR, was the re-
ply; "but 1 couldn't keep it up for
more than ten minutes at a timew

the straw becomes too ripe a larger
per cent will not be consumed, un-
less it is run through a feed cutter
and made more palatable by the ad-
dition of other grain or concentrates
Our own experience and observa-
ton leads US to attach more impor:
lance to the condition of the straw
as an index Of the proper time to
cut oats for hay than to the condi-
ton of maturity of the grain. We
would cut the oats before the straw
turns yellow, and this virtually
means that we would usually cut
them when the grain was in the mill
stage, instead Of in the dough stage
AS stated, we believe the earlier cut
ting gives a better hay, for the
dough stage of the grain mean thai
the straw will usually be too ripe tt
be palatable.

YOUR HEALTH
Don't Endanger i with
caIomeI

1t is generally agreed by experts
in this country and Europe that ca
lomel has a very violent effect on
the system. This accounts for the
familiar disagreeable feeling accom-
panying a dose, and the weakened
condition following it.
Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegeta-
BILE compound, that is a mild, but eff
fective substitute for calomel. It
has all the effectiveness, but not the
effect, of calomel. It's splendid VAL
ue has brought it into such wide use
that in some states it has almost en-
tirely replaced calomel.
Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and
you'll never use calomel again. In

The Junior-Senior Reception.

The Junior Class of the Abbeville
High School entertained the Seniors
of the School at a delightful recep-
ton last Friday at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. l.. C. Haskell.
Over one hundred invitations were
sent out to the class and their friends
and something over seventy-fve
guests were present, which made
this one of the most delightful en-
tertainments given by the High
School.
The color scheme of the class was
pink and green, and these colors
were used in the decorations and in
the refreshments which consisted of
cream and cake and punch. Miss
Ella Haskell presided at the punch
bowl. q
The time was spent pleasantly in
dancing to the music of the Victrola,
and for those who did not dance,
tables were provided and cards were
enjoyed.
The young people who served the
delicious refreshments were selected
from the eighth grade and were,
Misses Madge McLesky, Mary and
Virginia Aiken, Mary Milford and
Gertrude Syfan.
Misses Virginia Galloway, Hattie
Agnew and Virginia Staley, of Due
West, were the special guests of the
occasion.
The Junior Class have the dis
tinction of having given n of the
~pleasantest receptions ever given to
a senior class.

THE RATE.

If the County of Abbeville is pay
ing six OF seven per cent for o r
rowed money, when other counties
in the state are paying only three
and one-half, the people OF the
tv are entitled to know the reason
why.
Is # because other counties have
better banking facilities than Aooe-
Vile county? are their bankers bet
ter business men than ours! can
thew get money at better rates than
our bankers? or
Have the bankers of Abbevllle
county had a chance at the loanlng
of this money? were the several
banks of the county asked by the
county commissioners to bid on a
loan of 50 many thousand dollars
for a given length of time? or
Did they refuse to consider the
proposition and force the county
commissioners to deal with only one
bank? or has n bank a monopoly
of the business of Abbeville county!
is it only asked to make loans, and
are these loans made at the rate
which it furnishes without giving
other bankers in and out of the
county a chance at the business: or
Is there any law which forces a
county to pay an %exorbitant rate OF
interest to a banker in his own coun-
ty. when a banker in another coun-
ty is willing to loan at a much less
rate of interest?
Taxes are hard en- 'ueh to pay IN
ordinary times. At this time when
the reasons are greatest for saving
every dollar of the public money
possible, not a dollar should be PAID
for interest, or any other demand,
which can be avoided. We do not
know that this has been done but
the public is entitled to know.
When the state is about to borrow
money, it advertises fc: bidders for
loans for certain amounts, and the
bank offering the best rate of inter-
est gets the business. A law in
Abbeville county to the same effect
would save the county several hum
dred dollars in the course of a year
we dare say.

GUS 7. GRAYD0N +
DIES SUDDENLY
Popular Young Man of Greenwood,
Succumbs While Playing Baseball
NO Funeral Arrangements.

Greenwood Journal, May 6tb)
Gus T. Graydon, one Of the most
popular young men of Greenwood,
and one of the best-known college
men of this section, died suddenly
on the University of North Carolina
ball field yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. This sad news came In a
message from his brother, Mr.. Gin
ton Graydon, of Columbia, but no
further details were given. A short
dispatch from Chapel Hill through
the press stated that he succumbed
while engaged in a practice game Of
baseball.
The body will arrive at $40 FIJI
day morning and the funeral services
will be conducted at Edgewood
Cemetery Friday afternoon at $50
by DR.. B. H. DEMENT,. The follow
ing friends are requested to be at
the residence at 4:45 to serye as
p~all-bearers: DR.. H. L. Fellers, Hugh
E. Giles, T. L. Coleman Robert
Chipley, Horace Brinson, T. W.
Gaines, Fred Andrews and Lee
Hodges.
Nh. Graydon was % years of age
and a native of Abbeville, but he had
made his home in Greenwood since a
small boy. 1t is paying his memory
only a just tribute to say that he was
one of the best-liked young men of
Greenwood. He had always taken a
great interest in athletics and
through this association made many
friends. During his course at the
Alabama Polytechnic institute at
Auburn, from which he graduated in
1914, he made quite a reputation as
a baseball and football player in col
lege circles. He was also known as
a faithful student and made a good
record in his class work. The fact
that he was given the position of
tutor at Auburn the year after his
graduation attests the esteem in
which he was held by the college
authorities. He went to Chapel HiIl
last fall and entered the law depart
ment.
Mr.. Graydon is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Lalla T. Graydon, two
brothers, Messrs. Clintin. of Column
bia, and Sterling, of Charlotte, N. C.
and two sisters, Mrs. F. H. Fetzer
and Miss Virginia Graydon, both Of
Greenwood.

ed in the county in the years that
are past, of the people who have had
so much to do with Abbeville Coun-
ty, and especially of the part which
Abbeville played in the war, who
will be here to tell of the facts un-
less they are written by the few sur
vivors of that great struggle? Think
of the history that might have been
written that is lost! Judge Nc
Gowan might have written a book
about the war which would have
been most readable, and which would
have preserved for the people of
Abbeville County the achievements
of our soldiery, but he did not
Judge Cothran might have done the
same thing. General Hemphill
could have written a history of Alb,
beville's part in the war which would
have been authentic, and reliable
but he did not, except for a few ar,
ticles published in his paper. There
were others, who, if not so compe'
tent as these, could at least have
written the history of those days.
There are still men of Abbeville
county who can write interesting
history of these times. The gen
tleman who has been writing ha:
commenced the good work; we in
vite others to join in giving their ex
p%eriences. And those who do no
care to write for publication can a
least write for their own descen
dants the history of their part il
the war. Every child has a RICH

grandfather did in the days whel
history was made; and how shall W,
know except we be taught"

Growing Dahlias Successfully.
Progressive Farmer }

Progressive Farmer
From Alabama: 81 have been told
that if shoots coming from the dahl
liza roots, are cut off below the
ground and properly transplanted
they will grow and bloom earlier
than stalks allowed to grow from the
tubers. I am also told that branches
from off a dahlia will do the same
thing. Please let me know if you
have any knowledge of dahlias be-
ing grown in this way"
I bury my dahlia roots in the fall
in banks just like sweet potatoes,
When taken up they are generally
full of sprouts. Then the bunch of
roots can be divided and each root
having a sprout will of course grow,
But I do not believe that you would
have much success in trying to root
the green shoots in the open ground
Florists habitually start the roots
to sprouting and take off the sprouts
when two or three inches long with
a bud at the base, and root them in
the sand bed in the greenhouse. II
is necessary that there be a bud al
the base of the cutting so that the
future root will have buds. They are
very commonly propagated in thi:
way, and grown all summer in three
inch pots set on a bed of coal ashe:
in a frame to make small roots fol-
mailing.
Even if the cuttings you mention
ed grew they would not make ear
lier flowers, and there is no advan'
tage in having early flowers on the
dahlias, for the flowers that come in
hot weather are generally poor. The
fall is the time for good flowers on
the dahlia. You a sow seed now
and have them bloom well the same
season. I SOW some seed every
year and select the good ones to
keep over, and while I have hun
dreds of dahlias I have bought none
of them, but have grown all from
seed. Even the single ones are fine
for cutting, and even better than
the double ones.

"REMINISCENCES or
AN OLD MAN.

We are publishing today the third
snstallment of the r~ecollections of
an old man concerning the events
which happened at Bradley's Old
Field at the beginning and during
the War Between the States. In
the first of these communications
the writer regretted the fact that
the rising generation knows so little
about the war; many of them not
knowing where their fathers fought
during the conflict.
We are sorry to admit that the
accusation is just. But the fault
does not lie entirely with the men
and women who have been born
since the war. The fault is very
largely with those who fought
through the terrible conflict, who
know the events of Importance, who
have had and now have the ability
to write, and who have failed to tell
the present generation the facts
about the war.
The writer Of these "reminiscences
has told us a good many things of
interest which happened during that
period at Bradley's Old Field. But
for his telling US, many ot tire IN
cidents which he mentions would
have been forgotten and lost to his
tory. Many of the names which
he mentions are not now of the'sec-
ton where this history was made.
Perhaps, for this generation these
facts may have been talked about,
but they would have been forgotten
except for the history which he has
nothing will be known of these mat
tiers except such as has been written,
and IN this way preserved.
1t becomes important therefore
for those who have survived the con-
fict until today to write what they
know of the war, and leave it in
some permanent shape, or at least
leave it written where it will be
accessible to those who shall come
after, and who will desire to know
the truth.
One of these days someone will
desire to write a history of Able
vile County. When it is desired
to write of the people who have liv-
