 President Wilson has either in a fii Of mental alteration sent the wrong nete or he has entirely mis- represented the European situation.
 These things are black and vile.

What kind of unity of aim do you aX- pect between wolves and sheep dogs over the fleeces of torn lambs?

 The detectives went to get the men, and when they found that there was no use denying the proof against them they confessed. They might have con tessed 10 more, for Johnson the younger man, was talking fine and dandy for the detectives uul Brady cautioned him.
 "Dont talk so much or they will send us up for life,' he sand, and Johnson taen closed VI.

 "Nou didn't have chance the policeman explained.
 No, bat il we could have gc'ten to the ear We would have taken the chance" the men told the officer.
 Johnson made a more extensive con fession than Brady Brady admitted several tbetts, and that he took the copper wire here, and lhlt ,he au,o WIS a stolen one.

TRAINING TOMATOES
TO A SINGLE STEM

Clemson College, 8. c., Where to-
matoes are to be trained to a
single stem. the plants are set. lS
inches apart in rows 8 feet vide.
AS soon as the young plant begins 30
grow after being transplanted, it
sends out branches Of. shoots from
the axis Of che leaves. When these
shoots appear pinea. them out; whic
will cause to main stalk to shoot up
rapidly. Put UP a stake S feet tall,
and tie the plant 't6' it. AS the plant
grows, more suckers will form. Con-
tinue to pinch these out and train the
plant to the stake; The fruit will be
formed on flower clusters about six
inches apart on the main stem. i.
This method of training does not
produce as many tomatoes per plant,
but the fruit is much larger in size
and of higher quality. This method
allows a great many more plants per
acre, therefore, the yield per acre lis
greatly increased.

REMEDY
SEEMS TO BE GOOD
Early Tests Indicate Efficiency for

Adrenalin.

New York, July Embarked sue
cess has attended the treatment of 5U
infantile paralysis patients with spin
al injections of adrenalin, the remedy
recently suggested by DR.. S. J. Meltz-
er, according to a report to the health
department today by Dr.. Edward j.
Birmingham. In 35 cases, the report
says, the symptoms completely sub
sided while the other Is infants ara
said to be speedily recovering.
1--WE feel that DR.. Meltzer's theory
has been sustained" DR.. Birmingham
said. sfWe will not say proven be-
cause SO cases can not prove such ali
important matter
It is expected the scope of the ex-
periments will be widened and the
treatment administered to larg.
number of sufferers. Three more sur

Only Four Vacancies.

In the recent scholarship exanai-
nation the counties ;rame nearer fill.
ing out their. ,queta g5s.,t of scholarships,
than ever before, according to DR..
Riggs. There were we're only four vaoan-
cies caused by the counties not filing
their scholarships, which will be filed
by the State at. large. The financial
eligibility OF those who nave passed
is now being ,rigidly investigated by
the State Board of Charities and Cor
rection, who will make their report
to the board or trustees as soon as
possible.
DR.. Riggs says Clemson was not
exempt from damage caused by the
recent food and storms. He esti-
mates that the college lost between
$4,000 and $4,000 in damages to the
crops. A peculiar feature of this
loss is the fact that the loss was
scattered among all three of the
stations, the Pee Dee, Florence and
Clemson, which illustrates the wide
scope taken in by the food and
storms Most of the damage to the
crops, however, was caused by winds,
which blew down corn and tobacco
crops extensively. The president
stated that before the food the crops
at the Pee Dee station were the
finest he had seen in the State.
