In Memoriam
In sad but loving remembrance of my
deeply beloved mother, Mrs. Isaac
Payne, ST., who departed this life
six months ago, Friday, May %,
1915.
Gone, but not forgotten.
In the graveyard softly sleeping
Where the flowers gently move.
Lies the one loved so deeply
In her lonely, silent grave.
| often sit and think of you,
When | am all alone.
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call it's own.
X
God takes the loved ones from our
homes,
But never from our hearts.
Six months have passed, our hearts
are sore,
AS time flies on l miss her more;
She sleeps-I leave her in peace to rest
The parting was painful, but God
knoweth best.
Unto sweet rest she has entered,
No more to grieve or to weep.
She is smiling upon US from Heaven,
My dear mother has fallen to sleep,
to sleep.
Friends may think will soon forget
her.
And my wounded heart be healed,
BIT thew little know the sorrow
That within my hearts concealed.
owed in life. in death remembered
by her loving daughter BERTHA.

COTTON BUYERS
MAY BE INDICTED.
Charged That North and South Caro-
lima Buyers have Kept the Price

SnhrRCu IllAt NOftn anu south caro-
lima Buyers have Kept the Price
Down.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Spccial agents
of the Federal Trade Commission be-
gan an investigation Of charges that
cotton buyers in North and South
Carolina and Georgia have combined
to keep down prices to producers. The
complaints alleged that large pur-
chasers OF cotton in the states named
have combined to divide territory in
such a way as to allow them practi-
cally to fix the price to the grower.
Commissioner w. }. Harris, who re-
ccivcd the complaints, recommended
Il thorough investigation, which was
ordered by the commission.
Members of the commission said
that il the allcgations of the COM
plainants were susbtantiatcd, the COM
bination would constitute restraint
OF trade, and the commission would
be authorized to proceed under the
antitrust laws. That would mean in
stitution OF the first suit of the kind
brought through the commission since
its creation.
Agents Of both the economic and
legal divisions of the commission will
conduct the investigation. The trade
commission issued the following
statement:
THE federal trade commission has
ordered an Immediate investigation 10
determine whether there is combi-
nation by cotton buyers Of South
Carolina. North Carolina and Georgia
to hold down the price of cotton
This investigation has been undertake
Ell at the instance Of Commissioner
Harris, to whose attention complaints
have come that such combination
does exist resulting in his submission
of the matter to the commission.
This information is to the effect
that for years past in the three states
mentioned and moro particularly in
the two Carolinas there have been va
ference amounting to one-half cent
per pound in two points not moro
than twenty miles distant from each
other.
This difference in price, it is al
legged in complaints which have reach
ed the commission, seems to be the
sole result Of the workings of this
combination. For instance, it is cited,
many cities and towns have practi-
cal!y no live market, due to the fact
that divisions Of territory for buy
ing purposes are made, one territory
belonging to one buyer, another ter
ritory to another.
These alleged practices are said to
be confined to certain places indicat-
cd in the complaint to a greater cx-
tent, possibly, than to other points
within the states specified"

lister Discusses Condition Of State
Militia

lister Discusses Condition Of State
Militia.
Columbia, Oct 1S.-The war depart
mcnt has on several occasions ex-
pressed its appreciation Of the efforts
made by Gov Manning and other State
officials of South Carolina to bring
the National Guard to high degree
OF efficiency. This is more recently
evidenced by the following article
which appeared in The Army and Navy
Register Of October 1G:
"rhc bureau of militia affairs of
the war department has learned with
qualification Of the increased activity
on the part of the organized militia of
most of the States. Progress is being
made toward the organization and
equipment of machine gun companies,
the supply of which is being provided
from the federal funds as requisitions
arc coming in. The militia situation
In South Carolina has perceptibly i'm
proved under the guidance Of the new
State officials, although in that State,
as in most Of the other Southern
States, great difficulty is being en-
countered in keeping the property re-
turns straight. That is a problem
which has long confronted the army
officers who have to do with the
equipment Of the organized militia.
There is a notable lack Of attention to
the obligation Of taking care of pub
Tic property, especially the articles
which are issued for individual use
1t is realized by the war department
authorities that there will have to be
increased accountability in this par
ticular. The bureau some time ago
completed the details of the draft of
the new militia law, which includes
the provision for increased pay of
commissioned personnel and enlisted
force. 1t is expected that the war de-
partmcnt will make this mcascrc a
part Of its general plans for improved
national defense, and the chairmcn Of
the house and senate military commit
tees have already signilicd their in
tcntion Of supporting a bill which will
contribute to the efficiency Of the
mcnt of the administration"

Of the militia Is per cent of officers
Of like rank in the regular army, and
to enlisted men % per cent.
Since his inauguration Gov. Man

statement that he was determined
upon an Improvement in the militia.

'HEREDITY IN TWIN BIRTHS

In no field of study is the possess ion of accurate statistics more nee essary than in problems of heredity. An interesting problem concerns the question of the likeness of animals and their offspring with respect to birth as singles, twins, or triplets. Heape, in an analysis of the English statistics available, says that there is reason to believe that twin lambs produce more twins than single lambs and that the influence of heredty is brought to bear Rietz and Roberts have taken up the question as deter mined by the statistics available in this country. In the classes of sheep studied in this instance-registere Shropshire sheep-they found that in general twin parents give a larger percentage of twins among Offsprings than do parents born as singles. They call attention to the fact that as it re- quires large numbers to establish the significance of the difference found, and it would not be surprising if within a flock of fair size-one hun dred-one may in some cases get even a larger percentage of twins from single parents than from twin par ents; but such fluctuations would not occur in the large majority of cases. What the significance of these results are for the Medical Association, can be determined only by similar study of heredity in twin births.

GERMANS DRINKING TEA.

Encouraging testimony as to the de- creased consumption of alcohol in Ger many was given Miss Mary B. Brown, director of the National W. c. T. U. exhibit at the Panama-Pacific exposi- tion, by an engineer who showed great interest in the literature exhibit He said that with 46 other engineers he visited Germany two years ago. While there the group investigated eight manufacturing plants and they found the men taking pint bottle of weak tea with their one o'clock lunch in stead of using beer with or per cent alcohol as formerly. The tea is prepared in the building and sent up in bottles at about one-half the cost of beer Since substituting tea for beer the efficiency of the workmen has increased from 15 to 20 Fer cent.

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL,


 There is no experiment more strik- ing than this. Take person who IS even most moderate drinker of al cohol. Let that person take his pulse in a standing position, and take it in recumbent position in ordinary ev- ery-day life, and let him do so when there is no alcohol in his body, and when there is a dose. He finds that when ill health, his heart is automati- cally slowed when he lies down. but that under the influence of alcohol this does not occur, or is very much reduced in it's character. and wholly, as we know by the fact that this tampering with the nerves has re suited in the heart being to a certain degree emancipated from the healthy and normal discipline which it should . be under, and which nature ordained tkat it should be under. We have therefore to regard alcohol as a par alytic or narcotic agent entirely, and if you investigate theTeasons why peo- pie take it, you will find invariably that it is for paralytic action rather than for the stimulant
 The feeling of fatigue which we all experience is very healthy symptom. It is little message from nature saying that we are overdoing it, and if alcohol is taken you cut off and stop that nerve message. The engineer on board steamer who tells you that his boilers are magnificent boilers be- cause they never give too high or too low pressure, and when you look at the pressure gauges you find they have been tempered with so that the cor rect steam pressure is not shown by them, occupies the same position as a man who explains his feelings under alcohol.
 1 would like you to think of the body when alcohol is circulating in it as being interfered with-to use that French saying which is on the penny in-the-slot weighing machines Please don't brutalize the machine" Prof w. A. Osborne, M. B., c. Ch., D. Sc.

PLANNING FOR NEXT YEAR

Here is the recommendation of John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, to the small farmer who must plan ahead, and who must feed himself and his family next year:
 Be sure and raise your own meat next year. One good litter of pigs, well kept and pastured and fed, will make enough meat for family of six people. If you haven't the brood SOW, get her at reasonable sacrifice, and remember that it is as easy to raise a crop of hogs as to grow a crop of anything else. Flow all the land you can between now and Christmas. Break deep, and turn under all weeds, grass and stalks. The weeds that grow on your land take plant food from same. Turn them under, and you put it back; burn them and you lose it. These simple suggestions carried out on the farms in Arkansas, I believe, will make the whole State prosper ous."
 Do you believe it? It so, adopt them and improve them.

JOHN BARLSYcoRN UNPOPULAR.

Insurance people have come to the definite conclusion that booze and in. surance mix about as we'll as oil and water" remarked Edward A. Woods, president of the National Life Under writers association. In other words" said MT. Woods, "a drinking man is a mighty poor risk. Cold figures have proved to us positively that the drink ing man-even the moderate drinker- has less than half as much chance to live out the life of his policy as the teetotaler The mortality of the teetotalers between the ages of thir- ty-five and fifty years, when men are of the most use to society, is only 56 per cent of the average mortality. Not even the war has been the sub- ject of as much consideration among insurance men as has the liquor ques- tion."
