Pece Speech Postponed.

Copenhagen, May 2.-The speech
which was to have been made in the
Reichstag by Dr.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, the German imperial chancellor,
on peace and internal relations, has
been postponed to a more fitting oc-
casion, according to word received
here. The situation, as reported in
a dispatch from Berlin, appears to be
as follows:
at a caucus Of the majority So
cialists in the Reichstag, the group
that supports the ploicy Of the gov
ernment, 1t was decided to defer an
Interpolation that had been proposed
regarding Germany's peace plans un.
til more suitable occasion. The in
terLellation was to have been made
to-day.
ut Is now expected that debate
upon The political situation, together
with the chancellor's speech, will
probably be postponed until the third
reading of the finance measure"

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockja'w or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use drug called freezone,
which the moment a few drops are
applied to any corn or callus the
soreness Is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
/, 'tating the surrounding tissue or
ski, A small bottle Of freeZone will
cost cry little at any Of the drug
stores, nut will positively rid ones
feet Of enery hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get 1t at
any Wholesale drug house for you. ad

FRENCH AND RUSSIAN II. ROADS
U. 5. to Dispatch -Four Railroad Ex-
pelts, Including Engineer Stevens.

Washington, May 3.--lmmediate
ngthening their railroad systems,
Is planned by the American govern
ment. The first step will be the dis
patch Of a commission OF four rail
road experts, including John T.. Ste
vens, consulting engineer, who was
chief engineer Of the Panama Canal
Commission before Gen. Goethals.
The plans for aiding France in
solving her railroad problems, which
have been drawn up in detail by the
Council Of National Defense, will be
made public within few days.
President Wilson had planned to
make Mr.. Stevens member of the
political and economic commission
headed by Elihu Root. which Is to
leave for Russia soon, but at the re-
quest Of the council Mr.. Stevens was
released for service on the special
railroad mission. Other members
will be John c. Greiner, Of Baltimore; !;
Henry Miller, former president of the
Wabash Railroad, and an official of
the Burlington Railroad.
The plans of the defense council
call for sending the entire American
surplus of rolling stock and expert
employees abroad. American rail-
road schedules will be altered 80 as
to run only necessary passenger
trains, to free equipment for the
movement OF freight and leave as
large n surplus as possible.

Whether the weeyil is present or

This is the first duty and requirement
Of any farm. After the home supplies
have been produced cotton should re.
ceive serious consideration. Intelli-
gent fertilization Is Of great impor.
tance but still greater importance Is
the maintenance Of the soil fertility
mainly by legume crops.
Not only cotton stalks but all other
stalks which are a part of the crop
refuse should be incorporated into the
soil in the fall and as far as possible
the land should be planted into an ef-
fective cover crop to enable the land
to hold its moisture, unused plant
food and to prevent washing. There
is no greater agency to produce cot
ton crop than water. This has been
demonstrated time and again in the
cotton belt since the beginning Of the
weevil fight twenty-three years ago.
1t Is important to make a cotton
crop and yet it Is more important to
maintain the health of the community
and this matter has not been given
sufficient thought as can be plainly
seen by the number Of flies we allow
the right OF way every day.
Flies are best controlled by caring
for manures, the places where they
breed. (a) Haul out and spread the

An Electrically Operated Oiler.

An electrically operated oiler has
been patented which makes unnec-
essary the often dangerous practice
OF oiling machinery by hand while it
Is running. Where this invention is
used oil is fed from q central tank
into as many oil cups as are needed
Each cup Is connected with All cleo
trio circuit and has valve that is
closed by small plunger. The cir
cult Is operated by switch within
easy reach Of the person in charge Of
the machine. BY closing the switch
a. small magnet just above each oil
cup is energized. This instantly
draws up the plunger and so the oil
is allowed to flow down into the
bearings. AS soon as the current is
turned off the plunger drops down
again and the oil stops flowing. If
desired, the switch can be operated
by clockwork.

q mistake to regard the matter lightly
because 1t is absolutely certain that

conditions Of South Carolina are such
that probably greater efforts are re-
quired than in many localities in other

Where 1t Is necessary to have the ma
nures exposed to flies. it may be
! treated with borax, hellebore or Cal

! tural purposes, because of tho injuri.
GUS action on the plant growth Of the
excessive applications OF the boraH.
| This is the least expensive method
| where the manure is not intended for

mixing one.half pound Of hellebore to
10 gallons Of water and sprinkled over
the manure gives good results in kill.
Ing fly maggots. This solution can be
made up in large quantities and kept
until wanted for use. The best re.

the solution to stand a few hours be-.
fore applying. The composition Of

poison is washed into the manure.
CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID

used at the rate OF four pounds Cal.
c1um Cyanamid, four pounds Acid
Phosphate to every eight bushels OF
manure. The substances should be
mixed and spread over the manure

proportions given greatly increase the
value Of the manure for agricultural

food than the ordinary nitrates. 1t
should be applied to the crop not less

SIT STEADY IN THE BOAT,
Government Predicts Real Prosperity
If People Not Panicky.

washington, May 3.-The United
States is entering upon a period of
unprecedented prosperity. Govern
ment leaders who are guiding the
destinies Of the nation in the pres
ent war crisis are convinced that If
the American people will keep cool
for few weeks until the first shock
OF entrance into the war is past, and
continue their business as usual, they
will witness amazing industrial ac-
tivity which will bring prosperity to
all classes.
The colossal war-financing pro-
gram will enhance rather than miti-
gate this prosperity, in the opinion of
the government officials. The So
OO0,0O0,000 war bond issue, an
nounced by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo last night, has been 80 ar
ranged that transfer Of credit will
be made from individuals subscribing
to war bonds to the general govern
ment. Comparatively little of this
money will be Withdrawn at once
from the banks, and such a; Is with
drawn will be expended in this coun-
try for war supplies Immediately and
so will Immediately find it's way back
into the banks through business chan
nels.
Secretary McAdoo has declared
that it will be the policy Of the gov
ernment to permit fair profits on war
contracts. He and the Federal Re-
serve Board, as we'll as other agen-
cies OF the government, have made a
careful canvass Of the economic stu
alton in the United States and have
come to the conclusion that to radi-
cally curtail profits would cause trou-
bles whict. in the end would mean
loss rather than saving. Consequent
ly, fair war profits will not be frown-
ed upon and this means, it is deciar-
ed, good wage for labor and liberal
employment for all classes of work
ers. Money in circulation will be
easy and nearly all branches Of indus
Try Will be prosperous.
All Of the supplies for the Ameri-
can army and navy will he purchased
in this country and most of the sup
plies for the allies also will be bought
here, so this will mean the pouring
into the channels of American busi-
ness practically the whole of the
$2,000,000,000 liberty loan, as we'll
rs the proceeds of the further loan to
come during the continuance of the
war.
The fact that heavy war taxes will
be levied Is not expected to have any
dampening effect on the Industrial
prosperity, for these taxes will fall
heaviest on profits. thereby making
only those best able to pay subject to
the imposts.

COFFIN AND VAULT EXPIODED
Mystery Surrounds Explosion OF Me.
taIlic Cusket in Sealed Tomb.

Cocedele, Ca, May 4.-BlOwn COM
pletely open by the force OF an un-
planned explosion, the vault contain
ing the remains Of +. Gutenberg, at
Sunnyside cemetery, was badly dam
aged here Sunday afternoon. The ex-
plosion occurred about dusk Sunday
evening. The body Of Mr.. Gutenberg
had been inferred for a period Of
more than five years. Those who
heard the explosion described 1t as
| being similar to the report of re-
volver or the blowout Of an automo-
bile tire, though the sound was muf-
fed
The hermetically sealed marble re-
ceiving vault in which the body was
inferred was blown open by the ex-
plosion, and false vault and monu-
ment, Weighing $500 pounds, was
displaced, the monument being
thrown from its base to the ground.
The explosion was Of terrific force.
On all sides of the grave the earth
was pulverized and bulged by the ex-
plosiOn.
Ladies who had gone to the ceme-
terry to place flowers we're attracted
by the explosion and saw a cloud Of
dust rising from the grave. They
were much frightened by the strange
affair and Immediately reported 1t to
members Of the Gutenberg family,
who reside in Cordele.
f. Offenberg was farmer Of this
county and at the time Of his death
had accumulated considerable wealth.
He was a German by birth. He was
inferred in a metallic coffin and bur-
led in a sealed vault. The casket and
vault were supposed to be alright.
No cause has yet been assigned for
the unusual occurrence.
1t Is certain that the explosion did
not occur from any outside cause.
According to local undertakers and
physicians explosions have been
known to occur in graves Of stout
persons within few months after
burial and while the body was in a
state OF putrifaction. Such explo-
sions, 1t Is explained, we're caused by
the Dhosphoric acid in the human
body, but this theory is not applied
In this case, since Mr.. Gutenberg was
by no means of large stature and his
burial had occurred more than five
years ago. Some advance the idea
that gas in the earth caused the ex-
plosion.
Members Of the Gutenberg family
will have a thorough investigation
made.
