THE TOLL OF IGNORANCE.

Ignorance is taking dreadful toll
in this country. Ignorance of the sim
plest laws of health, ignorance Of the
effects, morally as we'll as physically
of certain habits and courses of ac-
ton, ignorance of the plain, simple
laws of nature, ignorance of the sim
pie necessities of plant life and
growth, ignorance of the simplest
laws of efficiency in business-all
these things are costly. Never has
there been such wide diffusion of
knowledge as in this day, but some OF
us are too much prcjudiccd, set in ouI
way, too lazy or thick headed to learn
anything new. "The man who leads
is the man who reads" But we can
learn by listening, seeing, and in
many ways. Ignorance is one of the
devils most efficient allies. Fight it,
shun it,

"INDEPENDENCE DAY" ON
THH FARM.

Every farmer is said to live an Gin
dependent life" that is, he is not,
like the merchants and professional
men, and laborers in shops and fac
tories, dependent upon the people for
a living. This is only partially true,
of course, for we are all dependent
upon some outside source for Il part
OF our subsistence. Our clothing, sug-
ars, coffee, farm machinery, etc, must
be supplied from the outside. Time
was when the frmer was less DEEPEN
dent than now. Many articles now
purchased outside were made at home
and many articles now considered ii
necessity were unknown. However, it
1T still true that if a wall were built
around the farms, barring out and
keeping in, the farmer would still
be able to live. But it would be a
hard life now. We have all come to
look to others for a large part of our
living these days. There never was
time when the people were SO inter
dependent as in this day of great
prosperity. The wants and needs of
the people multiply and grow with
the advancing years. What we are
trying to say is this: The farmers
should be absolutely independent as
to such needs as can be supplied by
the farm. Some farmers make a bare
living-others do not make a living,
out of their farms. They are not
independent" They buy feed for
their stock, bread and meat for their
families from the grocery stores ev-
cry year. They pay taxes on boun-
daries of land from which they derive
no profit whatever. They work land
enough, which if properly tended
should make an independent living,
but these same farmers buy western
hay, corn, chop and meat every year.
They are entirely dependent upon the
grocers and wholesale. merchants and
generally speaking, are in debt all
the time. These dependent farmers
follow old, slipshod methods. They
don't read and study the methods of
successful farmers, but keep on from
hand to mouth, year in and year out.
This year should be Independence
year in this great country, among the
farmers

HUMUS IN SOIL.
(Home and Farml


If one-tenth of the soil is humus il
IS none too much. Average soil weighs
about $50 tons to the inch depth per
acre or 1000 tons to the pillow depth
per acre. Onc-tcnth of this amount
is 100 tons, which is Il good amount
of humus TO have in the soil.
The Agronomy division of Clemson
College states that crop of cowpeas
Will furnish about one ton of vereta-
bic matter CT humus. When only ears
are gathered, the corn slower left on
an acre from the forty-bushel crop
will weigh about ton. Where
cotton weighs Il bale to the acre, the
stalks, leaves and burrs will weigh
about ton. a good crop of oats.
Wheat or rye, will yield less than a
ton of straw to return to the soil.
These figures give some idea of how
much humus is added when certain
crops are plowed under.
There is some organic matter in
nearly all soils, but it varies greatly
in quantity, and in South Carolina i
is especially lacking. Not a season
should pass that farmer should moi
add some humus to the soil. Probab-
~ the best and most effective method
is by growing summer legumes as
companion crops. This method will
provide not only humus, but nitrogen

spirit, an aloofness from the rest of
the world, an Indifference to the NUT
ual obligations of human beings to
each other, which must mean selfish
ness; and selfishness in town or
city means retrogression or failure.
Progress always is the result of broad
views, of widespread Sympathies, of
alert interest in all that goes on
about us and everywhere on the plan
ct.
Last fall through the initiative tax
en- by this paper, Belgium Relief
fund Committee was organized. The
editor of this paper was chairman of
the committee and weekly devoted not
only his time, but space in the columns
of the paper to the collection ofmoney
and provisions, etc, for the benefit
of the suffering in Belgium. Through
the committee a large amount of sup
plies of various kinds was gathered
and forwarded. AS Secretary of the
County Sunday School Association
the editor gathered sum of money,
not large, but freely given, from sew
eral Sunday Schools OF he county, for
the same purpose.
Judging from the above editorial
criticism it is fair to infer that the
Evening Journal hears of this work
on the part of this paper and the peo-
pie of this county now for the first
time. So far as limited means will
permit no case of need or cry for
help is UNDECIDED in this Office or in
TINS town or county, than whom no
more charitable people can be found
anywhere on the globe. This paper
was candid enough to express doubt
as to our dut to contribute of
our money to help the people of
Europe, thousands of miles away from
us, for whose condition we were in no
wise sponsible-conditiOns brought
about, not by any act of Providence,
such rs earthquakes, floods, and the
like, brought about by Il lot of bar
barrie pagans-wolvcs in human garb.
We expressed what multitudcs of good
people in this country felt. that we
were tired setting up pins at one end
OF the alley for the dedication of
the devil who was knocking them
down from the other end as fast as
we could set them up. We felt very
much about the suffering of Europe
war victims as we had felt about sup
porting the victims and paupcrs of
the liquor traffic which our critic, the
broad minded Evening Journal, did its
level best to perpetuatc in the State
of Virginia last year.

German fleet to come out and clash
on the seas? A great victory on the
seas would decide the matter. Is the
war cabinet waiting until Il sufficient
quantity and amount of supplies can

British war lords to wait until Ger

come out at the last and claim IL great
victory? AT any rate the country is
wondering and waiting and asking
when will the British army get
busy?'

THE DREAD DISEASE"

Another death from tuberculosis is
reported. These reports are alarm
ingly frequent. Whether there are
more deaths from the plague in this
than in other counties of the State we
have no means of knowing accurate
ly. The cases are numerous enough,
goodness knows. A year or two ago
a Tazewell physician gave it as his
opinion that there We're at least $50
cases of tuberculosis in some form in
this county, ut that time. And there
is no reason to believe that the num-
Der of cases are less now.
tuberculosis is not contagious. 1t
is transmitted through carclessness
or ignorance. Personal and domestic
cleanliness will prevent its spread.
One physician said that in one house
to which he was called the patient
was splitting anywhere and every
where it was convenient. OF course
the disease spread. Three members
OF this family have already died of
the disease, and other cases are re-
ported in the same community. The
most fatal diseases are cancer, tuber-
culosis, pneumonia, followed closely
by typhoid fever. Neither of thssc
diseases are Catching" or contag-
lous from one person to another, but
are transmitted by germs in filth and
by carelcssness or ignorance. In the
case of cancer we believe it is differ
ent. We are talking chiefly of con-
sumption. This county has too many
cases and seldom if ever Il cure. AT
the same time we have Board of
Health, sanitariums for the treatment
of patients, whose business is to take
some oversight of this matter. Ev-
cry family in the county is exposed
and should be interested. Are the
Boards of Health to do anything to
prevent disease, or get busy and stir
about only after an epidemic breaks
out? In many cases patients and
not physicians are to blame. Sus-
pected cases are not reported. Gen
orally after Il physician is called it is
too late. Catawba, drugs, open air,
nor anything else can help after the
disease gets firm hold. If the ply
sicians will &c together and formu-
late some plan, start campaign
against diseases they may expect the
cooperation of the newspapers and
the people. Let's have a campaign of
education along the line.

1t is generally conceded now that
the United States is helping along

government, of course, but private
firms and corporations are furnishing
arms, ammunition, clothing, shoes,
shells, foodstutfs, horses and mules to
individual firms and corporations
across the water for distribution in
the armies at war. In this we are
helping along in this great slaughter.
