Seventy bales of cotton were ginned.
The way the wagons were waiting

when it is almost time to plant cot

message from Senator Tillman' IN

late committee on naval affairs:
"On America rests the responsible
ity of placing her almost infinite =

crush, once for oil, the strength Oh
the German junkers. America now
has the trained men and resources
to accomplish this end. Only one
thing is lacking to place those re-

greater than that Of any Other, class
to come to the colQrs, ;not as; tieatefe !

as vital at the moment, as fighters

...I think if we have any men IN
South Carolina who can help bullo

their minds to go to work for the

OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

1t will be wise for every mother
to have her children spray their
throats with some good antiseptic
during this season of Meningitis to
prevent the spread of the disease.
The germ is taken in through the
nose. Kissing is also good way
to spread the disease. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
is an old adage, but a word to the
wise is sufficient.

held that an insurance policy is valid
when a note is taken for part pay
ment of the first premium, even
though the note has not been paid at
the time OF the death of the party
to whom the policy was delivered.
This in a suit against the North
American Life company, of Omaha,
in which policy there was no for
fixture clause on the failure to pay
the note, and the further provision
that the note was drawn to provide
a certain rate of interest after ma
Tturity. Under these circumstances IL
was held that the policy was good
regardless Of the fact that the note
had not been paid when due, nor al
the time OF the death OF the holder
of the policy.

CALLS AT CABIN AND
FINDS BODY.

Lead, Dec. 14.-To die alone in his
humble little cabin several miles
from the nearest neighbor was the
fate of Robert Nugent, aged rs, one
Of the best known of the old time
prospectors of this part of the Black
Hills. He was unmarried and for
more than 80 years he lived alone in
the Carbonate district, where he
owned a considerable amount of min
ing ground. He had been to Dead
wood several days before he was
found dead, and is believed to have
contracted influenza and pneumonia.
Having no one to care for him he
must have soon died. His body was
found by another prospector named
Anderson, who CHANGED to pass the
Nugent home, and, not observing the
old man about as usual, made an in
vestigaticn to discover what had be-
come of him. The only known rela-
tive of the old prospector is a niece,
Mrs. M. d. Roach, who lives at Get
tysburg. She has been notified of
the death of her uncle.

THE new rule
CITIZENSHIP QUESTION MAY Az
Feet OFFICIALS.

Pierre, Dec. 14.--Perhaps some of
the candidates for county offices, or
even some members of the legisla-
ture, may find themselves 'unelect-
ed" when it comes time to take Of
flee January 1. The question has
arisen over the status of a man who,
having taken out his first papers, but
never his second naturalization pa
pers, al for office, and was elected
at the recent election. AT this very
election the constitution was also
amended so that unless a person had
taken out both such papers, he could
not vote. Consequently. the question
is-what Is his status when it comes
time in January-after the vote of
1918 is ~canvassed on this subject,
and the law Is in force-for him to
take his office. Can he then legally
do so. If he has not had his second
papers? 1t is reported that at least
one county officer elected is in this
question-and perhaps others.
