Japan May, Adopt
Western Dress Style

TOXIC, Sept. 25.-Dr. Baron H. Ia.
kagi, surgeon of the Jauanese navy and
member of the house of peers, does
not agree with Mrs. Akiko Yosano, the
noted writer, that the women of ia
pan should adopt the foreign style Of
dress in order that the race may be-
come stronger both physically and in
tellectually. He advises the women to
stay In their kimono, believing it more
healthful, and incidentally more beau
tiful. He is distinctively the enemy of
the present day craze in Japan to take
over the manners and customs of the
west.
do you know" he said to the cor
respondent, that the statistics of the
deaths of women in Japan are shock
ing? In most of the civilized coun-
tries as a rule the death rate for men
is higher than that for women. In
Japan the reverse is true. This state
of affairs did not exist in early years
of the century, but has come about
suddenly and only very recently.
"The increase of deaths among VIC.
men is especially noticeable among
young women The number of deaths
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-09-26

among young women is alarming be-
cause it means fewer births and
weaker children.
Compared with England, France or
Germany, the death rate for women in
Japan is three times as high as in
those countries.
Seeking the causes of this rise OF
the general death rate, DR.. Takgasi
haid his Investigations inclined him to
the belief that the losing physical vi
gor Of the Japanese was largely due to
the increase in the hummer of stu
dents and their mode of study He
fancied that scholarship and physical
neglect went hand in hand. Whereas
in the United States. with the preva
lent love for sports, the desirable thing
was to be physically strong, in japan
it almost seemed as if to be strong
was a reproach. In the decade be-
, tween 1901 and 1910 there was an in.
; crease of one and one-ralf per cent Ia
the number of cases of tuberculosis in
Japan, and this was due to the habits
of the Japanese student. DR.. Takag
pointed out that educated men do no

SEED Time
County Anrieulturest, Beatty tells
how to prepare seed and soil.

Now Is the time to prepar,
your ground for the Fall seeding
or ip case you are unable to seeC
this Fall, for Spring seeding
Early Fall seeding on well pre-,
pared ground Is the best for this
country. But owing TO the lack
of moisture the seeding will have
10 be done late this Fall or early
next Spring. Late Fall seeding
is preferable to Spring seeding
in most cases.
Get at work as soon as possibls
80 that you will be ready to seed
when the conditions are favor
able. Double disk your ground
80 as to cut up all stubble and
trash and make a mulch. This
puts your ground in ideal condi.
tion for blowing as it breaks up
the hard top surface and when it
is plowed it fits closely in the
bottom of the furrow uniting the
two layers Of soil. This elimi-
mates the air space and prevents
loss Of moisture. Plow your
ground either a little shallowerI
or deeper than it was plowed last
time. If you have been plowing
eight inches deep plow seven, or
if you have been blowing five
inches plow six this time, This
varying of the depth of blowing
prevents the forming Of a plow
sole and allows the roots and
to penetrate the soil. |
Follow the plow the same day |
with harrow as the soil breaks
up finer at that time and does not
bake. Harrow once or twice
more before seeding.
Run your wheat or barley seed
through the tanning mill so as to
free the seed from smut balls and
small weak grains. Treat it a
few days before seeing, not more
hen three days as it is liable
% become infected again. Treat
/ with tormaldehyde, one pint to
'orty gallons of water and let it
'oak ten minutes. stirring the
grain while soaking is sure
method of killing all smut germs.
Seed from As to so lbs. of seed to 4
he acre but do not seed until
here is stiicient moisture to bring
he seed up. Do not seed too
leep but just deep enough so all
he seed is covered. Spring seed
ng should be d little deeper.

WRITING HISTORY.

The Newberry Observer is making
a valuable and entertaining contri-
button to history in its continued
story "a Kid Soldier of the Sixties" 3"
The story is by the editor, and is an
account of his experiences as a kid
soldier in the War between the
States. 1t is worth preserving.
Cut it out and keep it for the boys
who are coming on.
The Yorkville Enquirer is also
contributing to the preservation
of history, as well as a taste for the
history of our own people, by re-
publishing the news of the war as
contained in the files of that paper
of the years between 1860 and 1865.
Many of the names in these articles
are familiar to the people of the
state, and this column in the Enquir-
er should be most interesting to the
descendants of the brave men
whose names are mentioned.

SYMPTOMS
Slight Symptoms Some
times Presage Serious
Results.

Do you feel tired, have you q sallow
complexion, constipation, headache,
bad breath, sleeplessness or circles
around your ewes? If so, you are un-
doubtedly suffering from some liver
complaint.
Perhaps you don't feel very badly
now, but delay is dangerous. To al
low your liver to continue out of order,
is to in nvite a serious chronic illness.
Whenever you have the slightest
symptoms of liver trouble, stop it i'm
mediately. You can do it harmlesslv
and mildly by taking LIV-VER-LAX,
the natural vegetable compound that
is replacing calomel everywhere. It
has all the effectiveness, not the effect Of
calomel. Iusist on getting the original
LIV-VER-LAX, bearing the likeness
and signature of L. K. Grigsby, which
is guaranteed to give satisfaction or
money refunded. For sale by any
druggist.

Thaw Acquitted.

Harry K. Thaw has been acqult
ted in the New York Courts of the
charge of conspiracy growing out
of his escape from Mattewan prison
last Fall. The jury was out nine
teen hours.
A motion to have Thaw committed
to the Mattewan asylum as an in
sane person was made by Deputy
Attorney General Cook. Thaw's
counsel objected that inasmuch as
Thaw was brought here from New
Hampshire on a conspiracy charge
and found not guilty, he should be
returned to that state as a sane
man. A formal motion that he be
so returned was then made by
Thaw's lawyers.

An eX-newspaper man, W. W.
Bradley, gets nice appointment at
a salary of $1,000 from Gov. Man.
ming. There are other newspaper
people who could not get an appoint
ment at 500 at the hands of a for
mer governor.-Abbeville Medium.
Yes, and, lots of 'em that won't
get $500 jobs now. And Mr..
Bradley quit the newspaper business
before he got the job, and then he
had job besides and before he got
this one. This, however, is a good
appointment. Mr.. Bradley is a
good man for the job.
We have often said "You can not
beat an Abbeville man." Gen. Jones
is appointed chairman of the tax
commission at salary of $4,000 and
expenses; W. W. Bradley is appoint
ed an assistant bank examiner at a
salary of $1,000 and Charley Lyon
will be appointed United States mar
shall at salary of $4,000 and ex-
penses, and still there are other pre-
cincts to be heard from yet. Abb
beville Medium.
And you forgot to mention some
more jobs that Abbeville has, such
as, chief justice of the supreme
court, congressman, and bond clerk
to the State treasurer and secretary
to the congressman. And they are
all good and clever fellows. We like
'em. Herald and News.
Yes, and we have the Circuit
Judge and the Court Stenographer.
We raised" the Clerk of the Sem
ate and claim the Code Commission
er. We have several more men
hanging on the gate. 1t is all be-
cause we are first in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts of our
countrymen, and we get there first
with the most men.

THE NEW SIDEWALK.

The members of the city council
who will be chosen at the election to
be held next Tuesday, should set
about to do something for the city
at once. We feel sure that they
will, as they are fresh from the peo-
pie and know their wants. They
will want to do something of a per-
manent character too, as kind of
monument to their patriotism. Hav-
ing this in mind, we suggest to
them that they should inaugurate a
movement to give Abbeville better
sidewalks.
Of course, Greenville street being
the most popular residence street
in the city, the new members should
look there first. And that calls to
mind the new sidewalk which the
old council would not build.
1t seems to nave been taken for
granted all the while that Mrs. Per-
rim will be glad to- have this side
walk opened on her property. We
are willing to vouch for Chief JUS
tice Gary, too. If the Mayor will
see him and arrange to have his
curbing and steps moved and pro
perly rebuilt, and will insure him
against damage to his property, we
believe that the Chief Justice will
help Abbeville to grow.
As soon as the right to the side
walk is acquired at these two points
the City Council should proceed to
build the walk. There is no neces-
sity to wait until the sidewalk is
opened along the street on Mr..
Stark's lot. Pedestrians, when
they reach the Coleman corner, can
turn to the right, 60 up the walk
which Mr.. Stark has given to the
school children, as far as the front
Of the house, then proceed out one
of the beautiful lanes to the Baptist
triangle. This will answer all pur-
poses until the other walk is opened.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken.

CONGRESSMAN Aiken reached Abb
beville Friday, coming direct from
Washington. He will be in Abbe-
Vile until the Congress convenes
in December.
Mr.. Aiken is being congratulated
on every hand at finally succeeding
in securing the passage of his bill
providing for the appointment of a
Judge, District Attorney and Mar
shall for the Western District. He
has been working on this bill for
several years, ard at different times
it looked as if the bill would be-
come law, but something always
happened to defeat it until this ses-
sion.
Having the judge of the Western
District a resident of the district,
will be of great benefit to lawyers
and business men in this part of the
state. The courts provided for by
the bill will be held in several cities
of the upcountry, which will be a
convenience to witnesses who must
attend the courts. Besides a large
amount of mileage and attendance
fees will be saved by the govern
ment in having these courts held az
different points in the district.

this clerk from among his friends,
and from among those who have rem
dered him valuable services. If
Mr.. Knight, who has been mentioned
for the place, shall be appointed by
Mr.. Johnson, we shall consider that
the appointment goes to him be-
cause of his faithful services in the
public work, performed for Mr..
Johnson or under his observation.
The same will be true of the ap-
pointments to be made by Mr.. Thur
mond. We expect that he will ap-
point someone as his assistant who
is friendly to him, and not one who
has called him "pussy-foot." We
should think also that he would try
to name someone as his assistant
who would be agreeable to Senator
Tillman, to whom he owes his ap-
pointment. But he will not name
a man simply to please him or any
other man. A competent man will
be named, we dare say. And the
same will be true as to the other
minor appointments to be made by
Mr.. Lyon. 1t is nothing new to
name ones friends to these posi-
tions; it has always been so, and it
is not more so now than heretofore.
What the people of this section
wanted was the court officers in this
district, with district judge who
could be reached without the loss of
so much time, and at so great ex-
pense. Nobody but few office
seekers will object to any appoint
ment so long as competent men are
named. And this cry that this
man and the other should have been
consulted, and that the appointments
should not have been made so hur-
riedly has no force. The power of
selection is given to Senator Till
man and Senator Smith. We pre-
sumo that each of them knew who
to name, and that their minds were
made up on the question. There
was no necessity for everybody run
ming to Washington and giving ad-
vice. We are sorry that all the
applicants could not be named, but
as all could not be named, there was
but one thing to do, and that was to
name the men to be appointed and
end the matter. That was the busi-
ness way to 60 at it, and we are
glad that the Senators looked at the
matter and had the nerve to name
the men whom they wanted. The
minor appointments should be made
in the same way.

At the hearing upon the charges
preferred against the County Dis
pensary Board of Barnwell County
before Governor Manning last week,
he had as his legal adviser, Hon. ).
Fraser Lyon, formerly Attorney
General of the State. Governor
Manning has decided not to appoint
a legal adviser under the recent
appropriation by the legislature
but when in need of special counsel
he will consult such attorneys as he
thinks advisable, paying them from
the law enforcement fund. Mr.
Lyon is mis- first selection.
