OUR SOLDIER BOYS 1

Dear soldier boys. you're leaving,
In lands sunbaked to roam.
We pray you'll soon be coming
Back to our hearts and home.
Your flags are floating proudly,
But we cannot see the stars,
Because our eyes are misty
Beneath the waving bars.
Your drums are beating wildly,
But we cannot hear them sound,
Because our hearts are beating
More wildly, round by round.
God grant when home you come to u;
Once more we'll see you then
With not a soldier missing
Nor officer nor men.

SMITHS BILL REPORTED.
South Carolina Senator Believes II
Will Insure Fairer Prices.

Washington, March 29.-By an al
most unanimous vote the senate COM
mittee on agriculture today favorably
reported to the senate the important
bill recently introduced by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, looking to
the establishment of nitrate plants
by the government to furnish materi-
ais for munitions of war and for fer
tilizers. ''I believe the passage of
this bill, which now seems assured, y
said Senator Smith, will guarantee
the farmers fertilizers at fair and
just price. When the government
shall have established it's plants it
will be in a position to determine the
cost price of nitrates and potash and
will then, though it may never pro-
duce a pound Of munitions of war or
fertilizer ingredients, the factories
established for it will be the means
Of holding private corporations to
fair rrices."

RCLL BURIED on LONG ISLAND.
Uncover Mysteries in Connection
With MilIiOnaiTe's Death.

New York, March 31.-Buried un-
der a tree at the extreme tip Of Long
Island, a detective late today found
a roll of bills which Eugene Oliver
Kane, the embalmer, asserted was
forced upon him by Dr. Arthur War
rem Waite in an effort to induce him
to swear there was arsenic in the
embalming fluid used on the body of
Waite's father-in-laW, John E. Peck,
of Grand Rapids, Mich., for whose
murder the young dentist was ind!ct-
ed today. The roll totalled only ST.
500 when found by the detective.
Kane said he never counted the
money and therefore did not know
whether Waite's count was accurate.
Detective John Cuniffe, accompan-
led by Kane, early today went to
Orient Point, Long Island. where
Kane told the district attorney he
had buried the money Kane led the
way to a grove. One of the trees was
conspicuously tall and under it was
buried a roll of bills.
According to the story told by
Waite he also gave Kane a check for
$4,000, which Kane admitted having
accepted. This check has not yet
been located.
District. Attorney Swami said to-
night that Waite, who is prisoner
at Bellevue hospital, recovering from
the effects of drugs taken just before
his arrest, will be arraigned Monday
on the indictment which charges him
with murder in the first degree.

"Yaliel' Newspapers.

Have you noticed that many Of the
newspapers have the look of old pa
pers that have been laying around
until they have grown yellow? This
app earance is owing to the lack o.
dye-stuffs that have been about eX-
hausted and a new supply Of which
cannot he obtained, owing to the war
in Europe.
A recent shipment of bland news
received by the Chronicle is Of de-
cided yellow and our readers will no
tice the difference.
The average man would wonder
what sort of dye-stuff was needed to
make paper white, but if he investi-
gated the matter he would find that
the paper upon which his news is
printed is not white when it is first
made, but sort of light wood color.
An application of blue dye is made
to it that turns it the white tint that
has heretofore always been used.
This blueing cannot be obtained now.
and as the supply Of white paper is
nearly exhausted in the country the
yellowish looking material is being
used.
The blueing used for whitening the
paper came from Germany, as did so
many other dye-stuffs that were used
in this country, and it is impossible
to get it any more until there IS
cessation of hostilities among the
warning nations.
Many papers, in consequence, are
becoming "yaller journals, in spite
of themselves.-Camden Chronicle.

SPECIAL SESSION URGED
SUGGESTS STATE GO
INTO INSURANCE BUSINESS.
Declares Big Concerns Are Whipping
the Little Fellows Into
Line.

Columbia, March 30.-An extra
session of the general assembly, tC
be called for the purpose Of enactine
a law for State insurance, was sug-
gested to Governor Manning this af-
ternoon by John l.. McLaurin, State
warehouse commissioner, who, in a
letter to the governor, says: 1.-The
situation has reached a point where
it is necessary that you call the legis-
lature together to provide for State
insurance. He says that he is con-
vinced that the fire insurance com
panies are determined to make the
fight to the finish, and he does not
believe in surrendering to them, and
the only alternative is for the State
to go into the fire insurance busi-
ness.
The warehouse commissioner in
''passing the buck" to the governor
says he thought he had the cotton
warehouse insurance safe, but that
the big companies are whipping the
little companies into line and that
nothing can be DONE The only thing,
he says, to do is for the State to go
into the insurance business.
Senator McLaurin suggests the for
nation of a State warehouse insur-
ance by each warehouse taking stock
in a central company, pay the prem
iums a year in advance and the GEN.
trail company to reinsure. He also
approves of the formation of mutuais
and suggests that the State make ar
rangements to borrow S1,000,000 to
start off the State insurance COM
pany.

Poultry Feeding.

There is no economy in feeding
fowls one kind of grain, for that
compels them to eat more than they
ought in order to get a sufficient
quantity of food elements. A large
part of the egg is water, fact which
shows the necessity of providing lay
ers with an ample supply of pure,
clean water in fountains or dishes
which are frequently disinfected. A
sluggish hen is never good layer.
The flock should be made to eXer-
else by scratching for whole and
cracked grains in deep litter of
clean material and jumping for green
food, such as a cabbage or a mangel.

TO BETTER CHINESE SILK.
Need for Doing This is One Of the
Results OF the War.


In connection with the attempt to
obtain China silks in condition suit
able for purposes of manufacture in
the American mills, Minister Kai Flu
Shah will carry back with him to his
country samples of the grades re-
uuired, together with skeins showing
the detects that it is hoped viii be
eliminated. says the New York Times.
An exhibition Of these samples was
held recently in the rooms of the Silk
association of America, and the silks
we're packed for their journey back
to China.
Behind the movement to Standard
;ze China silks there is the desire on
the part of the domestic silk manu-
facturers to make available supplies
of a suitable nature to take the place
of that product, which will be with
drawn as a result Of the war. IN
France and Italy. it seems, there has
been an exodus of workers from the
field of raw silk culture, owing to the
better wage Inducements offered in
other lines. D. E. DOuty, of the
United State Condition and Finish
ing company. said recently that, on
his last visit to Lyons, the French
silk centre, just before the war, a
prominent silk man told him that
the number of people employed in a
silk filatures was diminishing then.
With the HIGHER wages to be paid for
reconstruction work Of all kinds af-
ter the war, Mr.. Douty said that it
would be natural to expect that even
the women in the industry would be
drawn away from the silk production.
This loss of labor, with its consn-
quent drop in the amount of raw silk
produced, will mean that France will
have to purchase more of her needs
in the outside markets.
On the present basis of wages paid
to American silk workers, it would
Ire impossible to employ them profit
ABLY in the work of re-reeling the
China silk that does not come up to
the standard requirements. If, how
ever, the Chinese can be taught to
eliminate the defects that are caus-
ing trouble, the situation will be
saved. The exhibition held by the
Silk association was for the purpose
of gaining the views of the silk manu-
facturers who may be interested in
the question.

has given it any serious considera-
tion and if Governor Manning signs
it he will find it even more of a
in it's way than thenew
insurance laws have proved. The
prohibitionists will be offended be-
cause of the notable increases in beer
importations which may be expected;
the anti-prohibitionists will resent
the fact that the act makes law
breaker out of anybody who has more
than two quarts of wines or liquor
in his possession, no matter for what
purpose. Such a law could never
have been passed if the legislature
had been willing to listen to reason,
on this subject.

SHERIFF FEARED LYNCH1NG.
Four Negroes Taken From BarnWell
to Penitentiary.

Barnvell, March 30.-Fearing a
lynching, of which rumors were
heard yesterday, Sheriff J. B. Morris
carried four negroes arrested in con-
nection with the assault and murder
Of a white woman near Barnwell last
week, to Columbia last night and
lodged them'>in the penitentiary for
safekeeping. The trip was made in
autom obiles, the party leaving here
shortly after o'clock. 1t is said
that the evidence against one of the
negroes is very strong.
