WEDNESDAY MARKS

Today is the last day for the Georgia
exhibit cars in this city. They leave
tonight over the Seaboard Air Line
railroad for other cities of the state,
after which they will start on a five.
year tour all over Uncle Sans do
mains.
While here the cars have been a
source of considerable interest, hun
dreds of our citizens have visited them
and marveled over the splendid exhit-
its contaiFed therein.
The cars will carry away from here
some splendid exhibits of the products
Of Sumter county. These have been
gathered during the stay here and
will compare favorably with those of
any other county in the state. Other
planters of the county have promised
to provide exhibits for the cars before
leaving the state for the long tour.
H. w. Smithwick, one of the most
extensive pecan growers of the South,
furnished a splendid exhibit of pecans
These were tastefully arranged in cans,
atfording an attractive display.
The Times Recorder takes this op-
portunity of reiterating that the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce planned
ard labored well in providing these ex-
hibit cars. Great good is to come 70
Georgia and the South as for that
through this means. In the language
of some one, we can but say. let the
good work go on.

BISHOPS ADVISE 4
THRIFT MOVEMENT

DUBLIN, March 29-The irish Ro-
man Catholic bishops in their Lenten
PASTORAL letters, direct attention TO
the necessity for thrift and for raising
as much foodstuffs as possible on the
farms. There are frequent illusions to
tie war in the pastorals, the most
emphatic eXhortation to recruiting
appearing in the letter of the Bishop
Of Tuam, DR.. Healy, who hopes that
" lille the peoplee will till their fields
they will also be ready to fight for
them against all corners, especially
against the Germans. "Irishmen are
able to fight" he writes, las they have
well proved on every battlefront in
Europe. They do not want their fer
tile fields seized by the foe What IS
to save them but the strong arms and
courageous hearts of the Irish people
and their Allies He hopes that they
will rally to the flag, mot by compul-
SIGN or coercion, but from a sense OF
Luty, as becomes free men"
Cardinal Logue speaks OF the war
as mot only the greatest and most
destructive war in history, but a war
that seems to have stirred to their low
est depths the most and most depraved
of human passions. The distinction
between soldier and civilian seems to
lie ignored. Even neutrals and their
property is no longer immune from de-
struction. Peaceful citizens travelling
by sea with their wives and children
are sent to the bottom without warn .
ing. Men, old and young, helpless wo-
men and innocent children, often in
| their BEDS at night, are made victims
o. sudden and terrible death"
The Bishop of Limerick in his pas
toral, predicts that the war will leave
the world in condition of direct pow
erty, and speaks of the storm which
will break over European society when
tie war is over. "If anyone thinks -
he says that the millions of working
men trained to arms in Europe will
settle down peaceably to starvation at
the end of the war in order to help re,
amass fortunes for their 'betters, he
may have rude awakening"

GETTING RID OF ANTS.

first step in freeing a house from these
pests is. therefore, to clean up all foon
that may be scattered about and to keep
food supplies which may attract ants
In ant-proof metal containers, or In ice
toxes. Cake bread. sugar. meat. and
similar substances are especially likely
to attract the insects
The use Of bats Is not recommended in
the bulletin already mentioned because
Of the danger that these will serve
merely to draw more insects into the
house and thus actually to increase the
nuisance. Where it can he safely used,
however. strip poisoned with arsenate
Of soda has been found effective. The
formula for this strip is one pound OF
sugar dissolved in a quart of water, to
which should be added 1875 grains of
arsenate Of soda. This mixture Is boiled
and strained and on cooling is used to
moisten sponges which are placed where
they can be reached easily by the ants

colony Is ultimately poisoned Although
this method has been found effective. az
has been said, II should be remembered
that the arsena'e of soda is poisonous to

to ants, and that its use must be safe
guarded by the greatest precautions.
When the ants can be traced back to
| their nests and these are in accessible
places, It is possible to destroy the
colonies by injecting with an oil can or
small syringe a little bisuphid Of car

All these substances however, are in

lawns with kerosene emulsion or with a
very strong soap wash prepared by dis
solving any common laundry soap in
water at the rate OF one-half pound to

Another method is to inject bisuphid of
carbon into the nests, the quantity Of
the chemical depending upon the size
OF the nest. After the bisulphd Of car
