tangling alliances, was laid squarely
before Congress and the country to.
day by President Wilson in a per.

1t made a profound impression
and elected numerous comments.
Senator Tillman said:
II look upon the Presidents ad-
dress to the Senate this morning as
the most startling and the noblest
utterance that has fallen from hu-
man lips since the Declaration of In
dependence. because it is based on
justice and liberty-the two bed
rock principles of modern civiliza-
ton. The programme he maps out
for our country is giants stride in
international comity-and it took a
giant to make it. The task he cuts
out for the American people is
great one, worthy of our country
and its grand ideals. 1t is the very
quinressence of free self-govern-
ment, distilled and double distilled.

An Object Lesson

A striking example of the benefits
of the saving habit came under our
observation this week.
On Monday man came in to see
US and in his conversation stated that
he had been employed as an overseer
on a farm; that he had expected to
continue in his position another year.
but few days previous his employer
came to him and notified him that he
would need his services no longer. as
he had secured another man. / had
saved no money, was without job,
and did not know what | was going
to do" he said. In discussing the ques-
ton with my wife our little boy nine
years old was an interested listener.
After we had discussed the matter at
length our boy asked why we did not
buy home of our own. | told him
because we had no money He said,
well let me buy it." l told him that
it took money to do such things, and
he replied. Il haye money in the Bank
of Williston." Upon investigation it
was found that out Of the money he
had saved from what had been given
him by his parents and what he had
earned from picking cotton and do
ing odd chores around the house his
savings bank account had grown to
the amount of $500.
He came to Barnwell with his faith
er and inspected a modest cottage
that was for sale and after the preli-
nninaries had been gone through with
made the initial pay ment of three
hundred dollars on the place.
What this kid of nine has done many
older have failed to do. There is les
son here for both the young and the
old.-BarnveU Sentinel.

CULTIVATE PEANUTS.
Can be Crown Successfully In
All Parts OF South Carolina.

During the last eight or ten years
the peanut industry has been grow
ing considerably. So many uses
have been found for this plant that
it is permanently established in the
Gulf States as a money crop. In
1908 the value of this crop was esti-
mated at S12,OOO,0OO. In 1909
South Carolina did not grow but
1886 acres of this crop while North
Carolina grew 1861 acres. Ac'
cording to the Farmers Bulletin 431
the entire State of South Carolina
will grow a good crop of peanuts
while only the eastern and central
parts of North Carolina are adapted
to this crop. The peanut is we'll
adapted for use as part of the
cropping system in the Southern
States, especially on the cotton and
tobacco lands. Soils that will not
produce more than one.fourth Of
bale of cotton to the acre can be
made to yield a fair crop of peanuts
at q very low cost of growing. Com.
paratively few persons realize the
value of peanuts when used as a
farm crop, especially when the pro.
duct is fed to live stock on the farm
and eventually returned to the soil
in the form Of manure, IF B 43D.
The Sea Island Cotton Oil Co. Of
Charleston, is equipped to handle
this crop for the farmers in this Sec
tion of the State. This company
presses the oil from the peanuts and
grinds the dry peanuts into meal.
This meal can be fed to stock with
out putting the undesirable soft fat
on them, as is the case when peanuts
are fed with the oil not pressed out.
As the boil weevil will soon be
here, am very anxious to get the
farmers interested in the growing
of other cash crops that a ready
market can be found for. | have
asked Mr. Edward Eve, of the Sea
Island Cotton Oil Co, to come here
Saturday. january 27, to talk to US
on the growing of this crop. Mr. c
A McFaddin, the district agent in
extension work, will be here also to
tell US about growing other crops to
overcome the damages which will be
done by the boil weevil.
We expect to hold this meeting in
the court house about II o'clock and
then hold another in Greelyville at 8
o'clock. hope that every farmer
who can. will come up and hear
these two men speak at one of these
places. CIV BAKER,

mile as he pulled the various report
boxes and other things on his beat.
And'as he walked, his feet got plenty
Of chance to grow, as policemen's feet
have habit of doing. He has been
on the Denver police force long
time, and his feet have prospered.
Feet, and tug-o-war matches are
closely associated.
Because "Honus'" feet were too
we'll developed, Denver lost the
worlds police tug-o'-war champion
ship Thursday when they pulled the
Omaha police at the Auditorium. They
lost it in eight and half minutes.

"Krieling's feet were too big" was
his statement. "The cleats on the
ladder were short and Krieling, our
anchor man, possessed pair of hoofs
that were too big to fit in. Conse-
quently, he could not get the proper
leverage, and that's why the Omaha
policemen pulled us out of our seats
so quickly"
The Denver team, proclaimed the
champion police tug-o'-war team of
the world, which defeated the Omaha
team at Denver January 27, n one
hour and ffty-one minutes, lost their
laurels in just eight minutes and thir-
ty seconds by Timekeeper Sheriff

who became so excited that one of
them tore up his own hat and the
other mashed toe, when he stamped

Fifteen hundred persons witnessed
