There is no redemption for the
chtcken-eater SOW or the bird-kilIine
cat. Capital punishment is the only
remedy.
One nest of young birds is worth
more than a car load of prowling cats
to those who wish to grow fruit,
flowers or,even shade trees.
1t, may bean act of mercy to har-
Dor thieying cat That is, it may
be mercifuI for the cat but it means
murder for young birds in the nest.

We all see things from our own
angle, or viewpoint, and our personal
interests are likely to blur our glasses.
The landlord says Hire the men and
give them their wages but the
tenant thinks he can't afford it.

Everybody likes Mutt and jeff and
many people have an especial svmpa-
thetic fondness for the ''littel feller"
who is nearly always getting the
worst of it. When Mutt and his
sawed-off companion dropped out of
the columns of the State journal our
sold Si'' was greatly disappointed
and for the time he was much worried
and anxious lest some fatal accident
had befallen them. He is feeling
better now, however. His interest
has been revived and his solicitede
relieved. He caught a glimpse of his
two heroes on the streets of Wa-Kee-,
ney the other day, SO he says, and he
confidently expects them to break in
to the columns of one or the, other of,
eur local papers before long.

You may not like the loud, yellow

We have worn out two of these
"Worth Mower lawn mowers in the
last four years and so far as we can
see neither mower is worth any more
than the other mower. In fact, the
more we moved the lawn with these
mowers, the more we were inclined
to think each mower worthless-than
the other mower, if possible. Nix on
the Worth. No more Worth Mowers
for US. Two is the limit.
Our chautauqua begins Sunday,
August l5, only three weeks away,
and TIL, county fair begins just three
weeks and three days later. The
dates are just right and far enough
apart to enable everybody to enjoy
both events. Get ready Arrange
your plans for these two inexpensive
vacations right at home and within
easy reach. They will be worth
while everybody needs little re-
lief-rehef during the strenuous work
of harvesting, threshing and seeding.
Mentally and physically. everybody
needs the social recreation which
comes from mingIing with neighbo
and friends, and the combined amuse-
ment and instruction features will
add much to the enjoyment of the
occasions.

Cotton Oil Candy.

We are not yet even at the begin
ming of the possibilities in the cotton
seed. A few summers ago the OBJ
server stood sponsor for an article
of ice cream made from cotton seed
oil and for a time it had a popular
run as a novelty. The market value
of cotton seed oil, however, made the
cotton oil ice cream rather an ex-
pensive experiment. Now has come
the cotton oil candy. The Southern
Cotton Oil company has been dis
tributing samples of this candy
among the farmers at. the various
meetings throughout the country, but
like the ice cream, the cotton oil can
DIV will hardly become commercial
article by reason of the fact that the
oil is too valuable for other purposes.
The cotton oil candy is made of 25
per cent, of oil, with molasses land
1avoring to suit" 1t has an agree
able taste, and its composition not
being known it would be taken as a
good brand of molasses taffy.-Char-
lotte Observer.

That the entire illegal sale of
whiskey in Charleston has been stop
ped no one with reason would con-
tend. But the sales of the dispen-
saries for the month of July afford
an interesting study. In July 1914
the sales of the Charleston dispen-
saries amounted to s53,139.51, &C
cording to the News and Courier. In
July 1915 the sales amounted to $685.
1881. This is an increase of s12,-
060.1O over the 1914 sales. OF
course there is still whiskey being
sold in Charleston by the blind tigers.
but their sales must have been con-
siderably decreased. The tigers are
finding it hard to ply their trade. If
the same activity on the part Of the
officers is maintained, the tigers may
find it so difficult to sell whiskey that
it will not be profitable to them.

WILL ANNUL REFERENDUM?
CONTINUED from page l, column 5.

ticle 8, section 2, Of the constitution
of the State of South Carolina"
Mr.. Tompkins, one of the attor-
neys for Mr.. Chappell, the petitioner,
would not say this morning whether
they would seek to take the case to
the supreme court or not if they lost
before the State court. He would
make no comment, and only smiled
when it was suggested that they had
provided in their petition for taking
the fight to the United States su-
preme court by bringing in the federal
constitutionality of the act. The for
mer governor is out of the city.
Prohibitionists are confident that
the supreme court will decide the act
is regular and constitutional, and will
not enioin the election. They are
confident of winning in the referen-
dunn on September II. and while TAX

ATTORNEY General Thomas H. Pee

Dominick will likely be called on to
appear for them in this case and up

The fight between the prohibition
lists and anti-prohibitionists is now
on in earnest, and the whole State

ton proceedings with interest.

The matter of discontinuing the
State Democratic campaign itinerary
is being agitated. We trust the agi-

to this circus. South Carolina is one
of the few remaining States maintain

a candidate desires to conduct a
specified campaign, let him map it

WASTE PLACES ON THE FARM
Progressive Farmers Are Making First.
Glass Hog Pastures Of Land
once Thought Worthless.

Most Of the large and many of the
small farms in the arid West have
more or less poor land. Some of this
is rocky hilly country, some damp
alkaline soils and other sections are
cut up with washes and bitches. Most
Of these are not being utilized. What
can we do to help In a practical way?
A number Of progressive farmers
have made first-class hog pastures OF
these formerly waste places by sowing
common sweet clover. They say hogs
relish IL and make about as good gains
as On alfalfa II pastured young. 9th.
ers have planted sweet clover for
sheep pasture. taking care OF the few

Of profit on such farms, Some have
been utilizing these places for dairy
