Such is Fame!-In spite Of his ad-
vanced age, that wonderful veteran
Sir Evelyn Wood, manages, by his en-
ergy and enthusiasm, to show patri-
otic example that has done not a little
to stimulate recruiting, says Pearson's
Weekly.
During his long career in the army
Sir Edward has had many amusing
experiences, and he himself relates
the following against himself:
The famous soldier, like the late
Lord Roberts, is noted for his short
stature and when he returned home
from Egypt an entertainment was
given in his honor at his home in Nor
folk. A big crowd Of people had as
sembled to welcome him and among
them was an agricultural laborer's
wife, who was very anxious to see the
popular hero.
(which is i'm? Which is im?' she
kept on asking, and at last, when Sir
Evelyn came in sight, a bystandel
pointed him out to her.
WHAT? she exclaimed in tones oi
deep disgust. That little man Sill
Evelyn Wood? Why, even my ole
man could thrash him"

How many York county people
know that the little old persimmon is
one of the most valuable foods known
and that many palatable dishes can
be made from it? 1t is a fact that the
persimmon tree on your place, the
fruit of which you consider only good
for hogs. 'possums ETC., will do much
to adding to the supply Of fruit for
the winter if the trouble is taken to
gather them
York county people from various
sections say that the persimmon and

Some Legs.

American manufactures are great
gamers by the European war along
various lines, but who would have
imagined that the manufacture of
artificial legs in this country would get
such a wonderful boom? 1t is stated
than one hundred and fifty artificial
legs per week are being made for the
British and French governments
This is fine for manufacturers, but
think of the suffering Of the poor fellow
whose leg is shot off and whose loss
is Americas gain. The total contract
for artificial legs awarded by the
British and French governments
amounts to fifteen million dollars

Him Will | Confess.

When the evangelist was here some
days ago he embarrassed and offended
several young men by asking them
publicly whether they were Chris
tians. Since hearing these incidents
have tried to understand the state of
mind or the quality Of mind that
causes one to be embarrassed when
religion is mentioned seriously. When
Blease was running for Office his fol-
lowers were glad to wear his badge
and proclaim themselves his friends.
Does it seem reasonable that men
should be proud Of Blease as a lead
er and ashamed Of Christ as leader?
Is not religion as important, as
reasonable, as logical, as politics?

Pay Your Preacher.

The average country church will
soon begin making an effort to raise
the balance due on the pastors sal
ary. AS a rule country preachers do
not get much Of their promised salary
until toward the end Of the year. There
is an old saying that the servant is
worthy Of his hire. 1t Isl found in the
Bible, and it is just as true as anything
else in the Good Book. And no SER
want is more worthy Of his hire than
the preacher who serves a country
church. This year the farmers have
been blessed, as a rule. They are in
much better condition than they had
reason to expect a year ago, or even
six weeks ago. Will they now let their
pastors suffer? Surely not. 1t will
be a sorry community that does not
pay its preachers this year-Anderson

For This Reason.

We recently heard Of man who had
fallen out with another for the simple
reason that he held views contrary to
his own on matter Of minor i'm
portance. He has made unkind re-
marks about him to others and shown
himself unfriendly in more ways than
one. The man against whom he holds
the grudge has no feelings whatever
against the other fellow, but accords
him most cheerfully the privilege Of
thinking and acting for himself In
deed he was not aware Of the fact
that the other fellow was knocking him
until two or more friends told him
about it. Now, what can be said of
such a fellow, especially in view Of the
fact that he is a man who has en-
joyed splendid educational advantages
Is he narrow minded? Is he little and
mean? 1t would seem that all these
questions might be answered in the
affirmative. And vet, for this reason
and this alone that some one does
not agree with them there are people
all over the world who are knocking
other people Think of it. For this
reason! For this reason! Let it soak
in. For this reason!-Greenwood

The matter Of obtaining potash for
making balanced fertilizer for the
crops Of 1916 is causing much con-
Germ among thoughtful farmers as
we'll as among fertilizer manufactur-
ers. However, when it is known that
the average clay soil contains already
a large supply Of potash the chief
concern should be in converting that
into soluble or available plant food.
1t has been estimated by competent
chemists that ordinary clay soil con-
tains in the first six inches about 10000
to 10000 pounds Of potash per acre.
But in the condition in which nature
stores it the potash cannot be taken
up through the root system Of the
plants. The soil has to be so treat
ed, or something applied, that will
render this element Of plant food avail
able. This can be accomplished by the
application Of lime in proper quanti-
ties. 1t is also probable that the lime
used for agricultural purposes carries
some potash. which will add to the
amount of potash liberated from the
soil by the action Of the lime upon the
soil. This is worth investigating, and
we would suggest to farmers that they
take the matter Of using lime up with
the Clemson experts. They are in pos
session of sufficient expert knowledge
to say whether or not the results OBJ
tained, in the matter Of rendering pot
ash in the soil available by the use OF
lime. will warrant its application
These specialists will also advise what
quantity to use per acre. 1t will be
impossible to secure a satisfactory
yield next year of any crop without a
balanced fertilizer, and a balanced
fertilizer cannot be had without pot
ash, either applied with the other fer
tilizer or liberated from the soil it

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 29.-At-
torney-G General w. L. Martin today
secured from Chancellor Chapman, a
temporary injunction preventing the
establishment by the Louisville &
Nashville, Southern Railway and the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad of
new tariffs which would have been
effective October 1. Chancellor White
side of the Northeastern division of
the state has been asked by the at
torney- general for permanent in
junction preventing the use of the
tariffs until the Alabama railroad
commission has granted its sanction.
1t is contended by the attorney
general that the three railroads have
disregarded the powers and authority
Of the Alabama railroad commits
sioners and have filed tariffs which
make increase in the rates on raw
materials consigned to furnaces in
the Birmingham district without OBJ
tanning the consent OF the commits
sion. The railroads filed the tariffs
with the commission last week and
announced that they would be effec-
tive October 1, but did not request
the commission to sanction the in
creases.
The action of the state will bring
back historic Alabama litigation and
will test the powers and authority of
the railroad commission.
