Grafton for the ending of the Euro

Birds Farmers Best Friend.

The people are thoughtless in per-
mitting the wholesale slaughter OF in
sect eating birds. 1t has been esti-
mated that the destruction OF birds
costs the United States billion dol
lars year. The rapid increase and
spread of the boil weevil is said to be
due in part at least to killing quail,
prairie chickens and meadow larks in
the region infested by the weevil. The
chinch bug and the Hessian fly are be-
coming more and more disastrous to
wheat growers because of the decrease
in the number. of birds that feed upon
these insects. 1t is alleged that the
spread of the potato bug is partially
due to the slaughtering of insect eating
birds.
While some birds may eat few
grapes and prey upon corn before it is
harvested, yet in destroying weed seeds
and insects that damage crops they are
farmers best friend and benefit him
infinitely more than they damage him.

Guard Against Fire.

With the coming Of winter the dam
ger from fire increases four-fold or
more. The falling temperature makes
it necessary that fires be kindled in
every fireplace and stove, and the in
creased number of fires about the
premises increases the danger of con-
fagration. Them too, at this season
there is more combustible matter within
each of flying sparks. Leaves accumu-
late in the cutters and on the fiat roofs.
Rats collect infammable material for
bedding in the walls and attic, all of
which tends to increase the fires risk
about the premises.
Another fruitful source of fire is the
ash-box that is carelessly set about the
house, even after nightfall, with live
Goals in the ashes. During the night
the wind fans the Goals into fame,
sufficient heat is produced to burn the
floor upon which the box is sitting and
thus the fire spreads. A fire results
and it is said to be of incendiary origin,
when, in fact, it was only the result OF
carelessness.
Use every precaution to prevent a
fire. Cruel flames may devour the
savings OF a'lifetime within an hour.

Edgefield Should Have Hospital.

Many reasons could be advanced to
show that a hospital would be splen-
did business asset for Edgefeld, but it
should be considered upon a higher
plane than that of dollars and cents.
The hospitals that are nearest to Edge
field are located in large cities and are
conducted upon such an expensive scale
that only very small per cent. of the
people of Edgefeld county who need
hospital treatment are financially able
to go to the city hospitals. With such
an institution economically managed at
Edgefield scores and scores of persons
throughout the county each year might
be treated and restored to health. This is
one of the county's needs that should
be supplied for the sake of suffering
humanity.
The matter of establishing hospital
at Edgefield was first suggested by the
physicians in their county convention.
They are in a position to know how
imperative is this need, if the suffering
humanity is to be given the best atten-

). He announced some time ago that it
was his purpose to make the fight for
military preparedness along non-partl-
san lines, and he has already taken a
wise step in that direction. Contrary
to precedent, he has invited the Re-
publican leaders in the senate and
house, Senator Gallinger and Repre-
sentative Mann, to come to the White
House for a conference with him. He
is wise. and tactful enough to take
them into his confidence before the
campaign is actively launched in con-
gress so they will not be predisposed
or prejudiced against his plans for pre-
paredness. We believe law will be
enacted providing for an adequate de-
fense of this country, call it prepared
ness or whatever else you may, that
will be satisfactory to large majority
of the people.

Market Cotton Slow y.

Governor Manning.is not only prac'
cal farmer but farms successfully on q
large scale, and is in aposition to coun-
sci with and advise farmers. In an in
terview Saturday he gave the farmers
of the State some good advice with
reference to marketing cotton at this
time. He is of the opinion that the de-
preston in price that has prevailed du-
ring the past Two weeks is not war
ranted by the supply and demand. be-
ing due in part to the heavy market
ing. He urges farmers to market
their cotton slowly and gradually, SELL
ing only in small quantities to meet
pressing obligations as they fall due.
AS money can be borrowed through
out the South at comparatively low
rate of interest, it is probable that cot
ton growers can hold sufficiently long
to force an advance in price. Conditions
are vastly different from what they
were year ago. Instead of a record
breaking or maximum yield, the crop
is the shortest in years.. And instead
of stagnation of business along every
line, reports of increased activity and
expansion come from every hard. BY
marketing cotton slowly, as Governor
Manning advises, farmers throughout
the South, acting in concert, can force
an advance.

u. C.. Meeting.

Monday afternoon the postponed
meeting of the U. D. G. was held
at the home of Mrs. Herbert Smith.
A very large and interested number
of members were present TO hear the
reports of the state convention in
Aiken.
Mrs. Pendleton Jones presided
very graciously over the meeting in
the absence of the president, and
made even the business Of interest.
The resignation of the president,
Mrs. j. D. Holstein was announced
which was reluctantly received by
the chapter, and Mrs. r. A. Marsh,
.vice-president, was elected to the
vacancy, with Mrs. Bettis Cantelou
as, vice-president.
The chapter decided to press the
essay contest work, taking subject
which would teach true history as
regards the Confederacy, offering a
medal costing $500 as first; prize
and Miss Rutherford's The south
in literature and history" as a sec
ond prize.
The convention at Aiken was
most entertainingly reported by
Mrs. E. P. Jones, Mrs. N. G. Evans
and Mrs. Percy F4ltham, Mrs. Jones
giving a general report, Mrs. Evans
some impressions of the children's
chapters and the account Of the
election of officers.
She mentioned especially the
splendid paper read by Miss Fran
ces Turner of Johnston which had
won the prize in the state contest
for children's chapters and also the
beautiful poem of Mrs. F. NJ. Boyd
of the Mary Ann Buie chapter of
Johnston.
Mrs. Feltham told of the lun-
cheons and receptions.
Mrs. Tillman and Mrs.. Tomp,
kins having attended the banquet
and reception in San Francisco Of
the general U. II. G. convention
were llstenel to with great interest
for few moments on this subject.
AT the close of the program very
dainty sandwiches and coffee with
whipped cream were served.
Mrs. y. r. Brooks of Columbia
was an honored guest and gave
words of appreciation for the Edge:
field chapter and their last enter
tainment of the state convention.
The next meeting will take place
with Mrs. Abner Broadwater and
the program will be of great inter
est.

millions Invested in South Carolina,

In his annual report just prepared to
be submitted to the legislature, 1nsu-
rance Commissioner McMaster calls at
tention to the great increase in the
amount Of money which foreign insu-
rance companies have invested in this
State. For more than 40 years after
the Civil War there was constant
drain upon the South by northern in
,surance companies, millions of dollars
being annually sent North for pre-
miums. Not until within the past few
years did our people realize how great
was this drain. These foreign compa-
mics were constantly receiving money
from southern policy holders without
sending dollar back except in cases
of death.
As a result of agitation of the mat
ter, legislation was contemplated re-
quiring all foreign companies to in
vest in South Carolina certain per
cent of the premiums paid by residents
of this State. Realizing that the policy
of receiving money without investing
any here in return was meeting
with disfavor, the companies began to
invest money in this State at as low
rate of interest as they lend it in the
North on the same class of security.
These loans or investments now aggre-
gate s2s, OOO,0O Such an enormous
sum flowing into South Carolina from
an outside source has aided our peo-
ple very materially: The wonder is
that the agitation did not begin 25
years ago, stopping in a measure the
annual drain.

tion that science and skill afford. 1t
would not mean an increased income to
the physicians-on on the contrary, it
would doubtless mean more charity
practice on their part-but the estab-
lishment of a hospital would mean that
persons who are Frustrated y disease
would receive better treatment. And
especially would the poorer class, who
are unable to go away to the city hos
pitals, be greatly benefited.

millionaire manufactures of automo-
biles win guarantee to take every con-
vict out Of Sing Sing prison and make
a man of him. He so stated today be-
fore the commission on industrial re-
lations.
1.-THE philanthropic foundations may
do some good" said Mr.. Ford, "fbut
they are not adequate. My idea is
justice and not charity. I have little
use for philanthropies as such. My
idea is to aid men to help themselves.
Nearly all are willing to work for
adequate reward. We have all kinds
of cripples in our employ and they are
making good. We have great many
who have been in prison who are out
casts from society. Every one Of them
is making a good showing and is
gaining in self respect and strength
and character. We will guarantee to
take every convict out of Sing Sing and
make man out Of him"
