Mr.. H. D Shumpert, Of the lower

the leading candidates for the House
this summer, was here for a short
while on the Fourth. Mr.. Shumpert
is one of the busiest men in the coun

scarcity of help makes it necessary
for him to remain at home. He be
lieves in helping the government, and
being a farmer he expects to hip feed
the boys across the waters. While it
is impossible for Mr.. Shumpert to
go to the many places to which he has
been invited in advance of the open

he expects to visit every campaign
meeting as arranged by the Co. Elk.

however, to thank his friends now for
the many assurances of support, and
will be extremely grateful for contin

TO PEACH GROWERS OF
LEXINGTON COUNTY

The peach tree borer, which is a
small white lava, causes much dam
age to the orchardist in South Carroll
na It bores into the body of the tree
just below the surface of the ground
In many instances the trees are com
pletely girdled which weakened con
dition offers ideal conditions for the
destructive work of the shot hole Dor
er. A simple and practical method
of control for the peach tree borer is
by mounding or thowing up dirt ar
ound the trunks of the trees to a
heighth of 10 or II inches.
Time-The trees should be mound
ed from the first to the 18th Of July.
Preparatory to mounding a coat
of trunk wash should be applied by
washing the trunk of the tree from
the branches downward. This keeps
the tree in a healthy condition and re
pels insects and diseases.
Standard Trunk Wash:
Lump lime .......................... ~ lbs
Soap (whale oil home made or
laundry ........."................." 3lbs
Sulphur AIDS
Water ................................ Z5galS
Making the wash-Shave the soap
finely and disolve in three gallons
of hot water. Make a thin paste
of sulphur and add to the soap solu
ton and while the lime is Stacking
(in half barely the solution of soap
and sulphur is poured over it and the
whole quantity is diluted to rs galloaF
which is sufficient quantity to wash
200 to 800 trees to 8 years old.
This wash is very inexpensive and
may be easily applied by the use of
a paint brush.
Method of Mounding-Pull or
throw the earth, up around the base
of the tree to heighth of ten or IL
inches which when settled will be
about 8 inches high. This may be
done either by the use of a shovel or
an ordinary hoe.
The trees should be examined be
fore mounding, and if there are any
borers present they should be remov
ed by taking knife blade and cut
ting out.
Pulling mound down-The mounds
should be torn down from the lst
to the 18th of October and the trees
examined for the borer. The pres
ence of the borer will be noted by
the exudation Of gum, and may be
easily removed with small knife.
After the trees have been worm
ed a second coat Of a trunk wash
made as directed should be applied.
It is very important that this mou
and be pulled down otherwise it will
be very detrimental to the growth of
the trees as it furnishes an excellent
place for the borer to work.

been ground down under the iron heel Of
despotism. Feckless and blind as was
their king, the people of France felt that
in some way he was their father and pro-
tector and that it would be a calamity il
he should turn his face from them. In
the months which followed when these
children of the new order, knowing far
less how to govern themselves than Louis
and Marie Antoinette knew how to rule
wisely over them, found their country in
vaded by Austrians and Prussians they
gave way to their rage.
Might Even Have Saved Head.
They had been willing to retain even
so poor king as a constitutional ruler,
and he had already, put upon his head
the red cap. Had he been firm enough
of purpose to resist the intrigues Of the
Central Powers he might still have saved
his faee-and his head.
Those were days when Teuton tyranny
was everywhere spreading its nets and
snares. George 1. of England was Elee-
tor Of Hanover, speaking German on the
British throne and knowing no English,
addressing his Ministers in dubious Latin.
George II. could talk lamely in the tongue
of the people whom he professed to gov
ern. George III. was more German il
possible than his predecessors. They had
realized that Great Britain had a con-
stitutional government and left affairs
largely to the Ministers. He, an exemplar
of Middle Age outlook, took the advice
of his German mother, "George, be
king"
His obstinacy lost to Great Britain her
American colonies. A German, he gave
aid and comfort to France in seeking to
make her yield to the demands of her
Bourbon king. His kinsman, the Duke
Of Brunswick, leading Austria and Prus-
sian armies, invaded France and served
notice upon her National Guard that they
were liable to the death of traitors.
In their evaporation the citizens of
an impoverished nation then guillotined
the king who was taking no steps to
meet the foreign foe and was waiting the
oncome of the Hun to subject them again
to Bourbon tyranny. Hence the Com
mune and the Reign of Terror and those
dark hours in which nation in the throes
was endeavoring to adjust itself TO the
problems which followed the overthrow of
the Bastille
France came up out of much tribulation
into a republican form of government.
She was enjoying peace and plenty when
the Hun again crossed her borders to i'm
pose upon her a yoke which is the same
as that for which stood the dark strong
hold on the Seine long since destroyed.
In days like these the American peo-
pie are asked to respond by observing the
14th of July as though it were their
own Independence Day. The committee
on the Allied Tribute to France has
therefore issued its appeal for simulta-
neous celebration of Bastille Day to-day
throughout the United States, SO that the
land Of Lafayette may know that every
citizen on this side of the water is in SYM
peshy with our friend and ally Of old,

until they found arms or the material for
making pixies. The time had come when
the rights of men should prevail, and men
who are starving under tyranny are easily
recruited. As the forces Of the new order
grew they thought with one accord Of the
hated symbol of that calling oppression
which was the cause of all their suffering.
The cry "To the Bastillep rose from q
hundred thousand threats.
Men and women armed with weapons
as effective as popguns would be against
a dreadnought moved against the ancient
stronghold. Bullets battered and flattened
against the massive walls. The defence
was only half hearted, and the French
guards on the battlements were soon
waving flags of truce. A force greater
than all the munitions ever made was at
work-a public sentiment which had be-
come resistless torrent. Delaunay, the
governor of the Bastille, trembled before
it and surrendered. Down came the creak-
ing drawbridge and across it rushed the
Infatuated citizenry. The tide flowed in
and out of the dim corridors and searched
out the narrow cells.
Feudal Germany Blocked Road.
As soon as there was the semblance of
government arrangements were made for
removing the Bastille. The work took the
contractor nearly a year, although he en-
ployed large force. There was thriv-
ing business in its relics, for hundreds of

models of the prison and sold as memen-
toes. Locks and bolts were distributed
all over the world as souvenirs.
Although the demolition of the Bastille
itself proceeded, the thing for which it
stood was not so easily swept aside.
Feudal Germany and Austria blocked the
road to liberty. We Of this day, with the
perspective of a century and more Of his
tory and belonging to nation which is
even now in arms against the Powers
which sought to foist the yoke of serfdom
once more upon the people Of France,
may see more clearly than even the able
publicists of that period that the excuses
Of the French Revolution grew out of
desperation.
The Huns, as now, were spinning the
webs of intrigue. The Teuton, then as
now, living still in the Middle Ages, DOM
ineering, mean and sordid, was deter
mined that France should return to slav-
cry. Louis XVI, under the influence of
his beautiful wife, Marie Antoinette, was
dominated by Austria. His court was
filled with German spies and Prussian
emissaries.
When he found that he could not con-
quer his people with French artillery he
pretended to accede to their demands and
waited for the help Of the German war
lords. Escaping from Paris, he had got
within a few miles of the border before
he was intercepted at Tarennes. 1t was
his intent to get Germany to send her
armies 70 compel his subjects to accept
his feudal rule.

tenth century notable personages might
be thrown into prison because some rela-
tive coveted their estates. In the reign of
Louis XIV. 10000 lettres de cachet were
issued. His successor, Louis XVI, cred
tied with being an amiable ruler, sent
forth 14,50O ON their missions of oppres-
sion.
1t might we'll have been written over
the entrance of the Bastille, ale who en-
tiers here, leaves hope behind" The place
realized the darkest visions of Dante's In
ferno. Separated from the streets of the
city by a moat 125 feet wide and 25 feet
deep, and accessible only by a draw
bridge, it was like an Isle of the Dead.
In its noisome dungeons abominable
cruelties were visited upon unfortunate
prisoners, who were condemned to the
rack and the boot and the wheel, or
chained to pillars and logged. There
were circular cells with conical tops, in
which the inmates could neither stand
erect, nor sit, nor lie.
The roll of the sufferers of the Bastille
is long one. Various degrees of punish
ment were meted out to the prisoners, ac-
cording to the whims of the sovereign.
Some of them, like the Man with the Iron
Mask, for time a prisoner in the Bas-
tile, were treated with consideration.
They had bounteous meals, and were as
signed to rooms in which there was fair
amount of light, and were even permitted
to walk in the garden.
Lost All Touch With World.
They had scant enjoyment, however, for
they never knew when they would be
doomed to the fate of their less favored
fellows. Men lived fifty and even sixty
years in the Bastille, until they lost all

1t was a day of questioning and
hearkening and soul searching. The words
of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot were
sinking deep into the national conscious

proposals.
In vain were the prisons filed with
agitators and the Voltaires sent into exile.

Food Value Of Nuts

In connection with the campaign
for gathering nut shells for gas
masks, it should be borne in mind
that nuts are among the richest
and most wholesome of our foods.
Wherever possible the kernels of
the native nuts should be added to
the home supply of foods.
The hard shells, not the husks,
of black walnuts, butternuts, kick
ory nuts, Persian (English) wal
nuts, Japanese walnuts, and the
seeds of such fruits as peaches,
plums, prunes, apricots and olives
are exceedingly useful in making
of carbon for gas masks. The shells
of pecans and almond cannot be
used.
Seven pounds of hard nut shells,
or two hundred peach pits, will
make enough carbon for one gas
mask. Thousands of tons of coconut
shells of nuts from tropical Ameri-
ca, and carloads of fruit pits from
the Pacific Coast are being used.
Still the supply is not sufficient,
Nuts which cannot be readily
cracked, those which have become
stale with age, or those which have
failed to develope plum kernels sho-
uld be turned over to the Red Cross.
Black walnuts and butternut which
are not to be cracked may be sent
in without removing the outer
husk. Arrangements of gathering
and shipping nrls, nut shells and
fruit pits can be made thorugh the
Red Cross.

Chow Time" Makes EN- Smile.

Chow time" means one of the
most picturesque sights along the
front, especially with the Ameri-
cans. 1t seems to mean more to
the Americans than to any other
army, perhaps because American
grub is better.
Happen along through ruined
village or woods IN an American
sector IS minutes before Chow
time and you would think the
place deserted. Probably there
wouldn't be more than one or two
stray doughboys in sight.
Come along IS minutes later and
you wonder where in thunder they
all came from
They II be lined up, and i'll front
of each line there'll be field kit
chen steaming away, with a per
spring army cook dishing out grub
that makes you want to grab some
tools and get in line too.
There slots Examination at Chow
time" among the Americans. A
crowd of Frenchmen is duiet while
eating, the only time French soldi-
ers are quiet. They munich their
bread and meat and vegetables and
drink their wine in silence.
Not so with the Americans. It's
a big time. First of all, there's
speculation on what's for chow
today" There's variety in Uncle
Sam s army menus.
Then as they sit around on the
ground, ruins, or under trees and
that satisfied feeling of having eat
en- a good meal grows upon them,
there's lots oflife and joking among
the doughboys.
"Doughboy chow" is good. Us
ually there is soup. Then there
are meat and vegetables, usually
there are two kinds. There are
always big slices of white bread and
coffee. Nine times out of ten there
is desert, probably pudding or fruit.
Each man has pan with a hand
lie that folds into it, and a cup.
Someway they get some of every
thing in a four-course meal into
these two instruments and never
mix foods. Only one of these
