The latest news from Petrograd says
that a strong and united majority has
been formed in that country and in the
public organizations, on which the gov
eminent can fully rely. The political
parties which support the government
are the constitutional democrats. the
labor party. the majority of socialist
democrats and of socialist populace.
Against the government are very
radical factions of the socialist

Red Cross War Fund

Patriotic Sunday" is to be
observed next Sunday in all the
Sunday schools OF the United
States in response to an appeal
by President Wilson to observe
the day by generous giving to
the Red Gross. President Will
sons letter follows:
To the officers, teachers and
scholars OF the Sunday
schools OF the United States
OF america:
The present insistent call of
our beloved country must be
heard and answered BY every
citizen OF the United States in
proportion to his or her ability
10 maintain the national power
and honor. Many citizens will
render their aid by force of
arms on the battlefield, while
others will make the nation
strong by their patriotic gifts
and support to the common
cause. 1t is, therefore, highly
hitting that the Sunday schools
OF the nation should observe a
special patriotic day. and on
this occasion should make a
special contribution to the
American Red Cross for the
alienation OF the suffering en-
tailed by the prosecution of the
present war. 1t is my earnest
hope that your generosity may
be unstinted in this, the hour OF
the nations need, and that this
|. special day may mean much to
you in the understanding of the
cause for which our beloved
land now contends.

Manifest Full Agreement.

The resolutions adopted by the pan
Russian conference of peasant dele
gates and the council of workmen and
soldiers manifested fun agreement
with the program of the government.
which thus has the support of these
strong organizations with their great
authority among the masses.
Some nervousness was felt in retro
grad a few days ago on account OF
rumors of counter revolution move
ments, which proved to be without any
foundation in fact. on that occasion
the radical elements intended to or
ganize public manifestations In the
street. The provisional government
proclaimed that all attempts at violence
would be crushed with all force of the
state authorities. At the same time the
council of workmen and soldiers asked
the citizens and soldiers not to partici-
pate in the demonstration but to refrain
for three days from all manifestations
The extremists did not carry out
their resolution" say the dispatches
This event is considered in Russia as
great moral success of the govern
ment and of the nations majority
which supports the government.

PAPER AND SILK FROM
THE coTTo NsTALks

Considering the fact that in the
neighborhood of 100000 tons of cot
ton stalks have been destroyed annu
ally as worthless, the possibilities O.
plan for converting them into paper
and artificial silk are readily compre-
hended. A plant is now being erected
at Greenwood, Miss, which will be de
voted to the preparation of pulp from
cotton stalks, and it is said that ow-
ing to the stronger fibers of the cot
ton stalk pulp paper manufactured
from it Is considerably stronger in
proportion to its thickness and weight
than that produced from the usual
good pulp. The use Of cotton pulp is
not limited to- the making Of paper.
The stalk fibers have been found caps-
BILE of withstapding the nitratins
process involved in the making of gun
cotton. The fibers also produce arti-
fetal silk, motion picture films and
uch chemicals as pyroxylene, alco-
hol and acetone.

CAUSES DAMAGE TO
COUNTY PEACH CROP
FREEZES WILL REDUCE YIELD
OF THE TREES, SAYS
EXPERT.
WELL KNOWN ORCHARDISfS TALK
isaiah c. Murphy Believes That The
Tender Varieties Like the Elbertas,
Have Been Hard Hit-AppIes Have
Not Been Injured.

Severe weather of the past two or
three weeks has played havoc with
much of the peach crop of the county,
n the opinion of Isaiah G. Murphy.
one of the best known and most thor.
oughly informed orchardists of the
state. Mr.. Murphy is raiser of prob.
ably as fine peaches as grow in Ten
nessee and has an intimate knowledge
If the peach tree. He has made a
careful examination since the recent
freezes and it is his judgment that
he tender varieties like the famed
and delicious liberia, has been hard
hit by the cold.
1T may be-" said Mr.. Murphy" that
with mild weather from now on there
would be fair crop of peaches, of
some varieties anyway, there is no
denying the fact that the excess in
,old has done great deal of damage.
OF course, there will be trees il they
are not subjected to any further in
Jury, that will yield better peach as
he result of the freeze, because they
will have fewer on them. But it is
risky and this is early in the year. 1t
has been about the most trying wealth
er for fruit trees that l have known
ince have been in the business.
mo the apple crop is not injured.
About the greatest harm done that
rop os far has been by rabbits among
he young trees that were not protect
ed. l have suffered loss on this
account, however, because took pre-
cautions before the snow came. 1t is
an easy matter, too. My remedy is to
use hog livers. simply take the liv-
ers and rub thoroughly the trunks of
the trees. The RABBIT has no use for

that has been saturated with blood"

BAND BOYS HOLD
SPLENDID MEETING
ALL OF DETERMINED EFFORT TO
aGivE COLUMBIA FIRsT.cLAss
ORGANIZATION,

Inc young men of Columbia who
propose to organize band for the city
met Wednesday night, fourteen in
aumber, and discussed the plan of or
ganization. Twenty young men have
expressed themselves as being anxious
to join the band and play or learn to
play any instrument to which they
may be assigned by the instructor.
The matter of an instructor was dis
cussed at considerable length by those
present. There were three PROPOSE
tons submitted and it was the con-
sensus of opinion that all three of the
propositions should be heard by the
members before any definite steps
we're taken, and at the meeting to be
held Friday night in the county court
room of the Court House the PROPOSE
ton from one of the instructors will
De heard. 1t is proposed to hold an
other meeting next Tuesday night at
he same place to hear the PROPOSE
ton from another instructor, and DOS.
sibly another proposition will be heard
later on.
But one thing is certain, the men
ind young men in the band are deter.
mined upon one point and that is to
organize a band for Columbia and
organize it with men that will stick
and make the band success That
was the uppermost topic of discussion
1t the meeting Wednesday night,
make it success" Discipline was
also impressed upon the boys, and
every member was anxious to employ
a teacher who would not only instruct
in the rudiments of the band music
md the lingering of same, but one
who would also enforce the strictest
discipline while the instruction was in
