 People Take Things For Granted
 When They Go Smoothly.
 Poor little girl, she was learning enc of life's painful lessons-that even the best of us are prone to notice and complain when things annoy us, and take things for granted when they go smoothly.
 I am afraid it is the exceptional par ent who makes it point to watch Tor and encourage the child's first at tempts to overcome a fault.
 Nor is it parents alone who make this mistake. We all make it with husbands and wives and other house. mates of one sort or another, with the maid in the kitchen, the clerk in the office, in short, with all those faults we try to correct and whose progress we therefore ought to recognize.
 Never Correct Person Before Others.
 Never correct one person in the presence of another.
 Never use a superior air. Mention casually some similar fault of your own which you are trying to over come.
 Be reasonable. Talk quietly. Know what you are going to say before you speak. point out pleasantly and logi- cally the harm the fault does.
 Never nag.
 And don't forget to shed the sun shine of encouragement when you see the slightest opportunity. It is for your advantage as we'll as theirs
 These are a few rules for helping others to overcome their faults. And while you are concerned on the sub- ject of faults here's one more don't Don't forget your own.

HAIR COMING OUT2

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita- tion of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour 8 little in your hand and rub it into the scalp. After a few applications the hair stops coming out and you can't find any dandruff.

Educated Women Increasing.

That so large number of young wo-
men are receiving diplomas from col
leges throughout the State augurs well
for the future. Winthrop leads by send
ing out 159 graduates this year and
other colleges for young women are
likewise sending out larger classes than
usual. Converse has issued "A diplomas.
When it is considered that each of
these educated young women becomes
a centre of influence that is wholesome
and helpful in their respective commu-
mites the effect of this great force in
the aggregate can scarcely be estimated.
AS long as institutions of learning
turn out increasing numbers of educa-
ted men and women there need be no
apprehension lest the world grow
worse. We mean, of course, when
these men and women are educated in
the fullest sense. And be it said to
the credit of most southern colleges,
heart culture is stressed as much as
intellectual culture.
The increasing number of educated
young women means that the standard
of motherhood is being raised, and the
standard of our citizenship is raised in
like proportion.

Milk Declared a Stimulant.

The announcement by the Pasteur in
stitute of Paris that milk is powerful
stimulant will be received as a surprise
in many quarters. For many months
milk has been given the French SOL
diers in the trenches and the results
have amply justified the statement
given out by scientists as to the effect
of milk upon the human system.
While alcohol excites the brain and
benumbs the sensibili.ies, thus causing
false courage, milk, according to con-
clusions reached by scientists, strength
ems and keys up the individual without
impairing in any sense his efficiency.
In fact, the increased strength afford
ed by milk adds increased efficiency
very materially. So helpful has milk
been found that French soldiers are
given this liquid food just before going
into battle, and its sale to the soldiers
when off duty to the rear of the
trenches is being urged instead of the
popular soft drinks.
After all, the law of compensation is
turning the awful war to at least some
good account by the many valuable
helps to humanity that scientists have
discovered, largely through necessity.

Should be Given Employment.

The board of charities and correc-
fions recently made an inspection of
the Richland county Jail as required by
law, and found 3S inmates, IL of whom
are white. The board recommended
that some kind of employment be pro-
viied for the inmates. The Advert

ties that are densely populated and
have considerable number of prison.

ded for their making the expenses of

ployed than lolling around the Jail all

Shower For Miss Mamie West.

On Saturday afternoon last, at
the home of Mrs. S. B. Strom, the
Wonan's Missionary Society of Re
hoboth church entertained with a
miscellaneous shower in honor of
Miss Mamie West.
The interior of this pretty coun.
try home was decorated in very
tasty manner, the hall being in
green and the parlor IN red and gold.
On entering, the guests were greeted
by Misses Martha and Ethel Strom,
who took charge of the gifts.
A table containing the brides
book was presided over by Miss An
ME Lou Morgan. In this book each
guest wrote wish for the bride, a
prize being offered for the best
wish. So after the wishes had all
been written and read by Miss Nor
gan, three judges, namely: Mrs.
Paris Culbreath, Mrs. E. G. Winn
and Mrs. T. C. Culbreath, were ap-
pointed to decide who should be
the winner. There We're three
wishes selected, one equally as good
as the other, so these were. placed
in hat and a disinterested party
had to draw to decide the lucky win
ner. The prize fell to Mrs. Gus
Winn.
Little Misses Florence Culbreath
and Mary Julia Winn passed
through the crowd and pinned dain-
ty souvenirs of tiny red and gold
bells on each guest. A large bas-
ket decorated in red and gold and
filled with various articles of linen,
was borne into the parlor by the
above named little girls, where
each article was displayed on rope
stretched across the corner of the
room.
A table placed nearby was also
filled with china, glassware, etc., all
of which bespoke of the universal
popularity of the bride-to-be. Ice
cream and cake was served at in
tervals throughout the afternoon.
Just as all were gathered around
the tables and about to partake of
these refreshments, a toast to the
bride, written by Miss Carrie Tai
bert, was read by Miss Annie Lou
Morgan.
The social feature of this occasion
was indeed helpful, as it brought
together large number of friends
who enjoyed a few short hours of
fun and merry-making; and as each
one left they felt very much in
debted to Mrs. Strom and the Wo-
mans Missionary Society for the af-
ternoon's entertainment.

Letter From "Lone STAR State.

Editor Advertiser:
see from your paper aud Uncle
Tvs letter you have been having
high winds and dry weather back
there. I have been living here for
ty-nine years, and don't believe [
ever have seen such a spring and
winter as we have had, we did not
have a great deal of cold weather.
January was mild and nearly every
morning was cloudy and drizzling,
just enough to keep the top Of the
ground wet and sticky so we could
not plow, About the first week in
February we had good rain and
then the wind commenced to blow
and has kept it up ever since, it is
blowing so hard to day, you can
hardly keep your hat on. From the
time we had the fain in February,
we did not have anymore until April
l, and since then we have had about
twelve inches. 1t was so dry in
March it was very difficult to get a
stand of corn, and in April it was
too wet and cold to plant cotton,
some did plant with the ground too
wet but had to plant over. The
weeds grass and cotton all came up
at the same time, and the custum
out here when grass and cotton
come up together, instead Of trying
to work it out they plow it up and
plant over.
The bulk of the cotton crop is
May cotton and good deal of it was
planted last week and is not up yet,
some will not finish planting for
two or three days yet. The corn
crop is very promising at this time,
part of it has been plowed the Sec
ond time and laid by and all of it
will be laid by this week, as it will
be too large to plow in few days,
everybody has good stands of cot
ton and are plowing it over this
week.
The grain crops are looking we'll.
Tne only trouble there is not
enough of it planted. All fall oats
was killed by a freeze about the
first of February, and most of them
did not have the money to buy seed
to SOW again. On that account the
cotton acreage will be increased.
] hope you have had good rains
before now. We will not need any
here for ten days or two weeks, by
that time the cotton will be chopped
out.
Well I will close for this time.

MIR. Tillman's Brave Words.

Senator Tillman has spoken like
sound-hearted, clear headed Amer
can to his fellow-Senators on the
abominable River and Harbor Bill
which, in year of greatly increas-
ed expenditures for essential things,
approximates S40,00O.000 largely
for things that are not essential.
The River and Harbor bill is al
ways more or less of scandal.
This year it is worse than ever.
The lump sum appropriation"
which Mr.. Tillman suggests should
be passed ito keep the really i'm
portant projects from going to
ruin" )" would be comparatively small.
A moderate sum is required to
deepen the East River channel for
the good of the whole country, as
not only commerce but the United
States Navy will nro6t by that i'm
provement. There is essential river
and harbor improvement which,
should not be neglected, but most
of the proposed appropriation is
grab for political purposes.
AS Mr.. Tillman says s4O,OOO,-
600 would build two battle cruis-
ers." That amount of money could
more than supply our present need
of destroyers submarines and sup
ply ships in addition to the small
allowance made for them in the
House Naval bill. Senator Till
mans honest and powerful argu-
ment against the River and Har.
Dor bill is based on his recognition
that we need all the money we can
afford to make an adequate navy,
second to none except England's
both in number of ships and their
armament" His warning is in ear
nest of his intention as Chairman
of the Senate's Naval Committee to
iguore the influence of Padgett,
Hensley and Kltchin, which has
served to botch the plans for naval
preparedness in the House, and to
give the country an effective naval
bill. At least two superdread-
noughts should be added to this
years list of authorized warships,
and Admiral Perry, in communi-
cation printed on this page to-day
argues convincingly in favor of
eight instead of six battle cruisers.
Doubtless with his clear knowl-
edge of our naval needs, Senator
Tillman will see that the bill con-
tains provisions for the expenditures
building of new ships, and for plac-
ing the strategical control of the
navy where it belongs, in the hands
of experienced officers. His denun-
citation of members of Congress
who attained such a time as this
are ievoting all their energies to
pork" was timely and vigorously
and all patriotic Americans will
share his hope that the President
will vote the River and Harbor bill
if it is passed.-New York Times,
May %, 1916.

MY PLATFORM.

If elected I pledge myself to stand
for the principles of democracy for
which the Democratic party has stood
in the past. l would advocate partic-
ularly the following:
A further reduction Of the tariff on
all the necessities of life and an in
crease, if necessary. on luxuries. l
would supplement our revenue by tax
on large incomes and by an Inheritance
tax when colossal fortunes pass from
one member of family TO another.
I would advocate a Rural Credit Bill
upon the amortization plan-a bill with
out unnecessary red tape end strings
tied to it, as in the present bill in Con-
gress, allowing the borrower, on his
real estate, five to thirty-six years to
repay the amount borrowed at rate
of not more than five or six per cent.
interest
A uniform warehouse law for the
grading and storing of farm products
such as cotton, wheat, tobacco, etc.,
receipts for-comneddiit ties tffns ssTea to to
be accepted for loans at the Federal
Reserve Bank.
A less expenditure of Federal monies
to make navigable waterless creeks
and rivers and for the placing of water
upon the arid lands of the West and use
of a portion of this money for the TAX
ing off by drainage of the surplus wa
ter from the rich alluvial lands of our
coast region, bringing into cultivation
for homeseekers millions of acres of the
most fertile lands in the world. These
lands can be drained for expenditure of
from $500 to $500 per acre and are
worth twenty times as much when 80
drained.
l believe in liberal appropriations for
good roads, the extension of rural mail
routes, the dissemination of knowledge
of agriculture in the rural communities,
the teaching of agriculture as it per-
tains to soil building, fertilization, etc.,
in our rural schools.
l advocate preparedness against any
possible invasion, giving particular at
tention to the size and power of our
navy.
I would check all extravagant appro-
priations. Fifty years after the Civil
War the number of pensioners and the
amount received by each is still in
creasing, and the amount paid out of
the treasury of the United States for
those who overpowered the South
amounts to S162, 900, 900 annually.
Nothing like this has been known here
tofore in the history of the world.
The United States should put itself
upon record as favoring concert of
the nations, submitting all differences
between them to arbitration or an In
ternational Court, the DEGREES of which
are to be enforced by peaceful means,
if possible, by force if necessary.
These and many other questions are
before the public OF to-day, and wise
solution of them will make for the
peace and prosperity of the nation.

COL. ALVIN ETHEREDGE.

COL. ALVIN ETHEREDGE.
(The Saluda Standard, May rs, 1916.)
Mr.. Etheredge is native of Saluda,
as his people have lived continuously
within sight of Old Red Bank church
here for nearly $50 years, his ancestor,
Samuel Etheredge, receiving from
George III in 1772 grant of land on
the waters of Red Bank creek. Samuel
and two sons served in the famous
Snow campaign, which drove the In
dians from this country over the noun
tains into Tennessee; he also, with four
sons, served throughout the Revolu-
tionary war as an ardent Wing, one of
the sons being killed by the Tories and
the father and another son being
wounded at the Star Fort, near Ninety
Six. One of the family served in the
Seminole war. Mr.. Etherege's grand
father and great uncle were members
of Capt. Jones' rifle company, called the
Mt. Willing Nullifers, organized with
many other militia companies to defend
the State if necessary in those trouble
some times of notification.
All the family able to bear arms
went to the front during the Civil war,
and at the end of this his mother, now
widow, attempted to carry on the
plantation. Finding this impossible
with no men left to carry on the work,
she with her family, moved to Granite
vile in the Horse Creek Valley, where
she went into business, being known
far and wide, and loved by all who
came in contact with her. At his mothers
request, after her death Col. Etheredge
established a scholarship. fund at Fur
man university, and from this fund
many worthy young men have been en-
abled to secure college education.
Mr.. Etheredge grew up in Granite
Vile, receiving his primary education
at the Graniteville academy. He at
tended Richmond academy in Augusta,
afterward going to Furman, where he
received his B. S. degree, later taking
two-year course in civil engineering.
Returning to Graniteville, he organized
and built the original Carolina Light
and Power Company, on Little Horse
Creek, probably the first of the kind in
the South. However, the call 'Back
to the Land'' was too much for him,
and he returned to his farm in Saluda
more than twenty years ago, where he
has been ever since.
Mr.. Etheredge was one of the COM
missiners appointed by the constitu-
tional convention to lay off the new
county of Saluda, divide the territory
into schoolsdistricts, erect public build
ings, etc. He was appointed by Gov.
Ansel as Lieutenant Colonel on his staff.
