If YOUR CHILD is CROSS.
FEvERISH, C0NSTIPATED
Look, Mother! If tongue Is coated,
cleanse little bowels with "CaIi-
fornia Syrup Of Figs"

Mothers can rest easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs" because in
few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a we'll, playful child again.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless "fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know it's action on the stom-
ach, liver and bowels is prompt and sure.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
california Syrup of Figs" which con.
tains directions for babies, children. Of
all ages and for grown-ups.

There are vast numbers of men and

People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can

will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation
Just as soap and hot water act on

dent, explained some work of judg-
ing done in the study of agriculture,
and arrangements were made to have
a rope-tying club at the school.
On Thursday the county agent was

was organized in conjunction with
the Y. M. CsA. work among the boys
Miss Estelle Mcvoy, teacher at PEN
Il ga, is the leader OF this club and
will take up the rope-tying work.
There are about 20 boys in the club,
II being the largest club in the coun-

ANOTHER purebred Oxford ram was
delivered this week to the Hill farm

the purebred rams delivered in the
county this fall.
The farmers in the Mansfield dis

sale was $40 per 100 lbs. However,
the shippers received premium OF sc
per 100 lbs. for the etxra quality Of

a good machinery shed we'll built in

who pass along the roads that they
appreciate their farm machinery and

MANAGING AND FERTIL-
IZING THE GARDEN

In many old gardens where lib
eral quantity of stable manure has
been applied every year, the soil gets
an excess of nitrogen, and vegeta-
bles grown for their underground
parts run to top and become unpro-
ductive. Then the owner says that
his soil has 'gotten too rich to make
potatoes" etc. The fact is that is
has simply gotten unbalanced. The
foods mainly needed in the making
of tubers on the potatoes are phos-
phorus and potassium, and if there
is a due supply of these in the soil
potatoes will be made>no matter how
large the tops grow. .. .-.
But depending on stable manure
alone leads to an excess Of nitrogen
and rank growth without CORES
ponding production of roots and tu-
bers The remedy is not to stop the
manure, but to supply what it main
ly lacks. In my own garden I ma
nure very heavily in the fall, and
in the spring add acid phosphate or
raw bone meal at rate of 1000 lbs.
an acre. ...
Where there is not an available
amount Of stable manure about the
best general fertilizer we can use
is a mixture of equal parts of cot
tonseed meal and acid phosphate.
This will give liberal amount Of
phosphoric acid, and 1 per cent, or
more of potash from the meal.
The great Importance of stable
manure is due to its humus-making
character, and when to this we add
all the garden refuse which may be
rotted down in heap each year, the
soil is in the best possible condition
to use additional commercial fertil-
izers, because of its greater capacity
for retaining moisture to dissolve
them. ...''.s
With a good rotation of humus-
making crops in the outer truck
patch, we can use the commercial
fertilizers to advantage there and
save the stable manure for the gar
den proper, since peas and crimson
clover will .abundantly supply the
humus-making character of the
stable manure.-The Progressive

= WORK THE GARDENS.

The shutting down Of many Of the
industries of the State on every
Monday for the next nine weeks,
presents a splendid opportunity to
employees Of these industries to
prepare and plant their spring gar,
dens. The critical food situation
in the country makes it absolutely
for every family to have
the largest possible supply of vege-
tables for immediate consumption
and for canning, and we hope that
every employee in the State who is
made idle by the Fuel Administra-
ton order will improve this oppor-
tunity for gardening. e.

PRIMUs GREENE PASSES.

Fl Primus Greene, an old colored
man, who has eaten as many meals,
killed as many work hours and got
by with it, as his profession of gar
dening, as the next man, passed
away on last Friday. Lately Primus
was the janitor at the Court House,
but the bad weather was too much
for him and he fell sick and never
recovered. t
The negroes in the Harrisburg Sec
ton where Primus lived, had a rude
shock about week before Primus
finally embarked in his canoe to
take the trip over. 1t was spread
abroad in the settlement that Pri-
mus was already dead, and the faith
full funeral friends Of the supposed
deceased gathered in. They looked
at Primus and said he was dead, and
after passing on his credentials for
the other world, as well as the time
of day, they fired the stove and
'het up the water to prepare Pri-
mus for the funeral. Now, when
the water began to lash itself
against the sides of the water pals,
Primus somehow knew that things
were out of order, as he was not
accustomed to having that amount
of water on his premises. He there
fore "arose from the dead", and
stripped Harrisburg Of its popula-
ton for a brief spell-until in fact
it was explained to them that he
had not been dead in fact, but had
just stepped off into trance. One
faithful friend suggested that may
be he was trying to die but was too
lazy to do the job.
Anyway, Primus has finally pass
ed over. We trust that he is safe
ly on the other side, awaiting un-
der the shade of the trees, resting
on the handle of his trusty hoe.

TWO DOLLARS LITTLE ENOUGH

A number of weekly newspapers
in South Carolina have raised their
prices of 81 year to $3.50 and 81
a year, course to which they have
been driven by the increased cost
of materials and labor. In normal
times So year would not have been
too much as the selling price of a
first rate county newspaper. The dol
lar year county newspaper was a
mistake from the beginning. The
publisher reckoned twenty years ago
that rs or 80 cents year would pay
for the white paper and the ink and
press work and that, therefore, he
would have profit of IS or 70 cts.
He forgot that the number OF its
circulation would be limited by the
local population of readers no mat
ter how low he placed the price and
he took little account of overhead
charges.
Not one publisher in fifty put into
operation a cash in advance rate,
without which the publication OF a
good newspaper at a dollar year
was a preposterous undertaking.
Perhaps it cost most of the publish
ers the difference between the cost
of the white paper and the dollar
for which the printed paper was sold
and more, to collect it-which ne
never knew. The weekly press OF
South Carolina during the last thlr-
ty years has been of surprisingly
good quality, considered in relation
to prices to the subscriber, but be-
cause it has been too cheap it has
never been as good as it should
have been. In nearly all the coun-
