Mr. on the knocks.

STILL, ere we start to reform in this
fashion, there are few little things we
would slam, things that have caused us to
fly in a passion, utterlng sulphurous Ian.
guage dixie "pshaw!O. Maybe 'twould
take us all morning to list 'em; maybe
you wouldn't list long. if we did; maybe
we'd better deep down in our system,
still keep 'em hid.
But for all that, we just can't help
shaking an accusing finger at the Glover
Club, crying: "Smarty, smarty! If you
hadn't poked fun at so many poor fell
lows who sat at your table when you were
young and sniopy, you'd be more gen
orally respected and loved now that age
is upon you, and your wit would have
waxed melower than ever your wines
were"
Our fnger-shaking is aimed at no in
dividuals who may happen today to be
engaged in the duty of sitting up with
the sick brother. but at the ghosts of past
punsters who started that gerial organi-
zation upon the downward path. Time
was when the Glover Club enjoyed power
and prestige beyond that of any other
dining coteriesin this neighborhood. Noses

Rogers and others who have gone be-
yond were the keenest and the wittiest
of the towns bold banluetoers in the late
eighties, when Charlie Deacon was the
busy little secretary and George Pierre, II
seems, was a mere kid, lisping the num-
bers of THE Darby Ram"
There was a deal of good fun at those
first dinners in the coZy second-story
room in the little Bellevue, a refectory
not nearly so roomy as the one named for
the club in the present hostelry. 1t was
fine to be out of the line of fire. cub
reporter, in a borrowed dress suit, per-
haps-and listen to the popping of the
pistols as the diners poked fun at one
another, But later when invited guests
came in for the rough house and 1t got
to be the fashion to expect that sort of
thing, it seemed to us the complexion of
the club changed. The wit at first had
been like the flash of sunlight upon a
brandished blade. 1t threatened but It
never hurt. But later it needlessly pre-
sented the point and pierced and stung.
This may not have been altogether to
blame for the passing of the Clover Clubs
olden glory, but. at any rate, it was con-
trbutory. The Five o'clock Club,
which, If we mistake not, was instituted
by some who decried Glover Club meth.
DDS, became touched with that same dan
gerous propensity to heckle it's guests;
and that, too, is not the club it once was.
A later entrant into this field is the
Terrapin Club, a sub'clan within the
Manufacturers Club, of which deponent
knoweth little; but It has been increasing

villainous heckler" is passee.

ON THE OTHER HAND, there's the
Kelly Street Business Mems Association.
Don't s,N1ile!
OF course Kelly street is a Joke. It's
no more than an interstice between two
buildings on Tenth street above Chest
nut, and there isn't a single place of
business in all it's short length. The mem
bers of the dining club named for It
are not numerous, but most of them can
sing, and singing is better sauce for
ones dinner than speechmaking. Also
the exercise of the singing chords seems
to expand the chest and give the heart
a chance. That nay be 1t or 1t may be
some other causation, but this much is
true-there's more heart, more fine sem
timent, in Kelly street than ever we
noticed among those bigger clubs-and
the Kelly streeters are seasoned ban
queteers, mind you.

members to pass out was Dory Bird, who
died in 1916. Dory's last name was no

SANITARY MEASURES ARE ALL
IMPORTANT IN The CONTROL
OF ALL PLANT DISEASES

Clemson College, S. C.-where pro.
per precautions are taken 1t is much
easier to prevent an infectious dis
ease than 1t is to cure 1t. This is
especially true OF plant diseases.
Plant tissues once infected with a
parasitic organism cannot be cured.
The diseased part might be removed
and part of the plant saved, but the
tissues already affected cannot. as a
rule, be cured. The only practical
method, then, OF controlling plant dis
eases is by prevention. With plan.
diseases as we'll as with infectious dis
eases OF man and the lower animals
sanitary measures are our pricipal
means Of prevention.
II certain disease is to be check
ed. all sources Of infection should be
removed and 1t is always the old dis
eased parts that serve as the main
source OF infection. 1t Is from these
that the disease spreads to healthy
plants. The first time that tomato
wilt, for instance, occurs in any place,
the plants attacked should be removed
and destroyed. The same applies to
the diseases Of cabbage, turnips, let
tuce and other garden crops pull
and burn" all diseased plants should
be the motto wherever any plant dis
ease occurs for the first time. This
is the simplest and surest method Of
getting rid Of all sources OF infection
This also applies to many diseases
which have become established. 1t
Is even possible to entirely get rid OF
disease where it has been present
for some time by burning all OF the
diseased parts.
With certain soil diseases like to.
mato Wit, cotton wilt, watermelon
wilt, etc, 1t is not only important that
the diseased plants be destroyed, but
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1917-04-10

every precaution must be taken to
prevent the soil which these plants
have grown in from being transferred
to other ground which is free from the
disease. Anything which carries sou
from around the diseased plants viii
carry the disease. Where a small area
In affected with disease, then, under
no conditions should this be plowsd
at the same time as the uninfectad
SOIL adjoining. All implements used
In cultivating patches where the dis
ease occurs should be thoroughly
cleaned before they are used in any
other place. Drainage water would
also serve to spread the disease from
such places IL the water is allowed
to drain from the diseased portions
on to lands where the disease does
not occur. Where 1t is practical to
do so, many OF the fruit diseases can
be controlled in large measure by
collecting and burning all OF the dis.
eased fruit. II IT were possible to
collect and burn all OF the rotten
plums and peaches in a community at
one time, brown rot would be in
large measure prevented. With the
tree diseases, it is very important
that all diseased portions should be
pruned off and burned. Wherever q
dead limb is found in tree, 1t should
be cut out and burned Any dead
tissue is sure to be a source of infeo-
tion. This is especially true OF such
diseases as fire blight of apple and
pear

The first suggestion was made by
Moseley Oliver to The Times and
taken up by The Times in an edito-
rial urging the people TO join. At
the same time Capt w. II. Keith of
Timmonsville made a similar sug-
gestion and promised aid from that
town, and since then there have been
a number of suggestions.
The plan would be to have a great
meeting some day, when every one
could come in cars and on the trains
and spend the day and fly the dag
and let the eagle scream. Prominent
men would be asked to come with
Senator Smith and Mr.. Ragsdale to
talk to the people and music and
other entertainment for the visitors
would be provided.
