ENGLAND's KITCHEN GARDEN.
Egypt Furnishes Vast Amount OF
Vegetables to Other Markets.

From a forbidding, sun-glazed,
poverty-sordid waste-land, farmed
where naturally fertile barely for a
frugal daily fare, into land Of nu-
merous farms and plantations, of
ever-extending irrigation nets and in
creasing profusions of green and gold
and russet vegetation, is the story OF
Egypt's progress under European
leadership during the past genera
ton. Where the fame of Egypt OF
old was for thuggery and revolution,
the modern land was earning renown
as a wonderful winter Fairgrounds
for tourists and as England's kitchen
garden, says a statement just given
out by the National Geographic So
ciety at Washington, which discusses
the Nile-land as the granary, vege-
table garden, orchard, and poultry
yard to the great congested centres
to the northwest.
''The long, fruitful farm that fol-
lows the Nile banks through hun-
dreds of miles of desert and spreads
out over the wide delta today, with
the people of the most productive
countries in the world in trenches
and in training camps, has come in
to first-rank Importance as a source
Of foodstuffs. For the past 80 years
the progress of Nile-control and OF
great irrigation projects has been
preparing the country for strong
competition in all the larger produce
markets of Europe. The number OF
farm holdings has grown to about
100000 in land with a popula-
ton of 100000. These holdings
include 100000 acres of land.
And there is labor a-plenty in
the country for the development OF
every square rod of area reclaimed;
for Egypt is one of the most densely
settled lands in the world. Its habit
able area is given as 12,O26 square
miles. and it's density Of population
at e39 persons per square mile. Bel
gium, before the war, the most thick
" settled country in Europe, had a
density of $50 per square mile. The
enormous growth in agricultural re-
sources has stimulated in Egypt an
increase of population equalled by
few other lands in old world areas
besides Germany: Cities, villages,
roads. railways and canals have
sprung up out of the profits Of the
Nile bonanza farm.
"At the time the war broke out,

Every now and then the Yorkvllle
ENQUIRER takes a shot at the news
papers of the State for the practlce
on their part of using their editorial
columns for personal jibes and jokes.
The point of the Enquirer is well
taken, it seems to us. According to
our opinion, a newspaper should
never print anything as news or edl-
torial except that which is of inter
est to at least a portion of it's read
ers. If one editor wishes to tell
another editor something, the best
method would be to write a letter.
But then it would not be 'scopied and
commented on" by the contempor-
aries.

If you are convinced of the fact
that the county-to-county campaign
circus is farce and ought to be stop
ped, introduce a resolution in your
club meeting next Saturday, instruct
ing the delegates 10 the county con-
vention to vote for delegates to the
State convention who will vote
against the continuance Of the pres
ent plan of campaigning. Bear in
mind that if you ever wish to run for
q State office, it will cost you at least
q thousand dollars to tour the State
with the campaign party. For the
same money you could send out one
hundred thousand circulars, and
reach several times as many voters
as you would by speaking at the
county meetings.

It is generally believed that the
fire which destroyed the residence OF
Mr.. J. w. Price Sunday could nave
been easily extinguished had there
been water accessible. With nearly
all of the strong fire insurance COM
names now out of the State it is
probably going to be very difficult to
secure all of the reliable insurance
that will be necessary to protect the
property of Bamberg. Let us, then,
at least have proper fire protection.
Cast your ballot in favor Of the water
bonds.

STORY OF THE PLAY.

Trilby, a model for an obscure
sculptor, seeking adventure meets lit
tic Billy, the Laird, Svengali, Ghecko
and others. Svengali experiments
with Trilby and proves that he can
hypnotic her. His devilish mind
conceives the idea of keeping her un-
der mesmeric power and giving her,
thru this power, the voice OF
nightingale.
Billy and Trilby fall in love with
each other and when Svengali finally
influences Trilby away, and thru his
hellish power makes of her a great
Diva, Billy is unconsolable.
Trilby mounts the ladder of fame
and soon becomes a universal figure.
Billy and his friends happen into
a theatre one night where fashion
able audience has gathered to hear
the famous La Svengali, as Trilby
has become known. Discovering
Trilby, Billy attacks Svengali, who
dies of heart failure and Trilby after
months of torture recovers her own
personality. and is about to become,
happy when, facing .Svengali's pic
ture, the old influence returns and
she drops dead of fright.

MOST EFFE GIVE ENEMY OF
SHARKS is THE SWORDFlSH

depth of ten inches. piercing the side
of ship. In an attack of this kind the
fish nearly always breaks his sword
and leaves it sticking in the wood, not
having the strength to withdraw II.
The velocity at which the fish swims
when 1t makes up its mind to attack an
object is so great that the penetrative
force of its bone sword is almost un-
believa BILE.
The swordfsh. in addition to being
an inveterate enemy of the many spe-
c1es of shark that infest the seas OF
the tropic and temperate zones, and
even the cold seas of the far north and
. south. Is also zone of the great enemies
of the whale. and this is held as one Of
the reasons why it should be destroyed.
There are two distinct species of the
swordfish, but in habits, disposition and
in workmanship they are very much
alike. That which is caught or the
coast of southern Europe, and which
is SO highly esteemed as food by the
a food fish to that which is caught OF
the coast of the United States and
Canada. The species which frequents
the western Atlantic is larger fish
and especially in the Mediterranean.
The flesh of the eastern species is usu-
ally eaten fresh, while that of the
western Atlantic-the species killed
with the harpoon by American fisher
mems generally preserved in salt or
brine before being put on the market
as human food.
The general form OF the body of the
swordfsh. says Guenther. the distin-
guished zoologist, Is well proportioned.

ways found In fish with great power
of swimming. as. for instance. in the
mackerel and funny. and the tail ter
inmates in a powerful bilobed caudal
I'm. A long, high fin occupies nearly
the whole length of the back.
The swordfish should not be confused
with the sawf1sh. a fish furnished with
a long. bony snout armed with spines
or teeth. 1t is related on one hand to
sharks and on the other hand to the
rays. 1t is alleged to be very destruc-
tive to shoals of small fish. and. like
the swordfish, will attack and inflict
mortal wounds on whales.
