Very Good eddie" represents a
new type OF comedy with music
which Elizabeth Marbury and F..
Ray Comstock have made very pop

analysis Of the show Will fail 10 find
any ingredients that have not always
been utilized in musical comedy,
such as comedy. music. dancing,
pretty girls. attractive costumes and
stage settings. il is not so much in
the essentials as in the manner Of
presentation that Very Good Eddie
differs from other musical shows
The comedy has for its basis a really
successful farce by Philip Barthol-
omae and Guy Bolton, and if there
were nothing else TO the show it
would afford the audience two hours
of hearty laughter But the comedy
is only the groundwork OF Very

OUR FARMERS
should FIGURE
REGULATE OWN PRICES.
Farmer Should Figure on His
Products Same as the
Manufacturer Does

We would like to see the time
come when the farmec will figure"
as carefully and closely on his farm
ing operations as does the manu-
facturer or other produce. Of
course, there are number of fac
tors in agricultural production over
which the farmer has no control. He
cannot control weather conditions,
which is an important factor, but
that is no reason why he should not
carefully regulate those which are
under his control.
If a manufacturer has a waste
product he makes tests, gets all the
information he can from others and
studies how to dispose of that by
product in some way that will pay a
profit over and above the cost of dis
posing of this by-product, which
would otherwise be wasted.
For instance, the corn stover is a
by-product of the corn grain crop.
Hoy many farmers have applied ac-
curate methods and facts to deter
mining which is the best way to dis
pose of the corn stover? How many
have collected accurate and definite
information DIS to whether it is bet
ter to pull the ears and plow the
stalks under, or to cut the corn,
shock it and then husk the corn and
prepare the stover by machinery for
feeding or for use as bedding. How
much does it cost to harvest the corn
by pulling the ears and husking by
hand, as compared with cutting,
shocking and husking by machinery.
What is the difference in the value of
the corn stover plowed under, as
compared with feeding the stover
or using it for bedding, when the diff
ference in the cost is carefully cal
culated?- Progressive Farmer.

NJ 'CORM|CK MINES
BEING REWORkED
TO SUPPLY WAR MATERIAL
LARGE Vein Discovered Over
Mile in Length and 25 Feet
Wilde, First Work in 1885

Mccormick, Sept. 22.--South Car
olina's latest contribution to Uncle
Sans success in the great war is
manganese from the mines near Nc
Cormick. These mines are being op-
Grated by the Atlantic Manganese
Company, which commenced work
here about July 1.
The company is now shipping two
cars a week, one of high grade and
the other of low. The Class A ores
that is, those running 40 per cent, or
more in metallic manganese
shipped to Pennsylvania and are
made into ferro- manganese. The
Class B ores are purchased by the
Birmingham furnaces and are used
to make a high manganese pig iron.
High Percentage of Manganese.
Much of the Atlantic ore runs over
62 per cent. in manganese. The silica
PHOSPHORUS and iron content are low
thus making an ideal ore for ferro,
without which it would be difficult
if not impossible to carry on modern
warfare.
The Atlantic property comprises
236 acres, which contain vein of
manganese ore over a mile in length
and varying from. eight to 25 feet in
width. The main shaft has already
cut this vein at depth Of so feet
and drifting on the vein has COM
menced. In addition there are large
clay deposits of very high grade ore
running as high as 500 tons to the
acre. The prize acre of clay depos-
it's contains about $4,000 worth Of
ore, figured at present prices.
This property has already shipped
about so cars of ore, the first ship
ment, according to government rec
ords, having been made in 1855,
when the ore was sacked, hauled to
Augusta by wagons, taken down the
Savannah River in barges and ship
ped to England.
W. M. Grant of Birmingham, the
company's engineer, has completed
plans for the installation of adequate
machinery for handling the clay de-
posts and is now designing a plant
for the conservation of low grade
ores. The company has been employ
ing about so men daily in its opera
tions and it expects to produce five
cars or more daily as soon as modern
machinery is installed.

large force of soldiers for personal
protection and on the Mexican bor-

send against the rebels.
Members were told by H c. Spence
State secretary of the Working Class
Union, that two carloads of rifles
would be available when needed and
that the union had as much right to
conscript recruits for revolution
as the government'had to draft men
for the trenches in France. At a

were made for the purchase of 100

clared.
