Mr.. John A. Holland, accompanied

some of the largest phonograph fac

purchasers of monographs, graphic

hauled and equipped it with booths,
and will install all up to date appli-
ances for exhibiting monographs and
for properly demonstrating them.
After fully investigating the field
he will advertise the lines he has Sc
lected. He will not confne himself
to one line as there are some people
who do not want to pay the price that
is necessary to obtain the finest arti-
Gle, and yet they want a phonograph.
Mr.. Holland will have different class
es and will represent each instrument
in the class to which it properly be-
longs. We will visit Chicago, Cincin-

les at other points.-Greenwood In

Removing Things From tho Eye

Small substances like cinders, dust,
or small chips of stone or metal, can
often be removed from the eye by
very simple means. Sometimes the
flow of tears washes them out. At
other times, catching the upper lid
by the lashes and pulling it away
from the eyeball, and down over the
lower lid, then letting it go, so that,
as it recedes, it's under surface is
swept by the edge of the lower lid,
will clear it out. If this does not prove
successful, loop made of horse hair
or of long human hair can be passed
under the lid and swept from the
outer. side towards the nose and
drawn down.
Better than this however, is the
washing of the eye, or flushing with
the eye dropper. Have the patient
catch hold of the lower and upper lid,
drawing them away from the eye, and
then fill the dropper, which is like a
small syringe, with water, and flush
the eye two or three times. This will
usually remove the cinder at once.
Should lime get into the eye, it should
be treated in the same manner, first
with water and then vinegar, or
lemon juice and water-a teaspoonful
of vinegar or lemon juice to tea
cupful of water-poured over the eye
ball.-Messenger and Intelligencer.

Profiteerine Renegades.

The United States is some $685.
900, 100000 in debt on account of the
war. We are that much behind.
Every Individual knows that when
he gets behind financially by means
of borrowing, losses or unsuccessful
plans, the only way to catch up is by
increased self-denial and harder work.
1t is necessary to make more and
dosWith less. t;sSss
In this respect nations are subject
to the same laws as individuals.
Another thing. 1t is known of all
men that there has been unconsciona-
BILE profteering, as the result of which
thousands Of men have made millions
to which they are not justly entitled.
The gains of many of the profteers
are very little different from the pro-
ceeds of sneak thieving, not to say
highway robbery.
The profits of the profteers consti-
tute the same kind of burden as
does the bonded Indebtedness.
The great difference is that the
bonded Indebtedness is just obliga-
ton and that of the profteers is not.
When a man steals it is proper to
deprive him of his loot and give it
back to its lawful owner.
1t ought to be possible to locate
most of these big profteers, and if
they can be located they can be made
to disgorge.
Surely there should be enough
brains and ability in congress to go af-
ter the individuals who have taken ad-
vantage of the country's necessity to
grab millions and millions, and make
these men disgorge.
If the country is going to let the
swindling protiteers of the past few
years get away and become the
leading citizens of the present and fu-
ture, what's the use of trying to put
stop to further profteering of the
same kind?-Yorkville Enquirer.

Baptist Sunday School Picnic.

Friday was a great day for the
children and young people who COM
pose the Sunday school of the Baptist
church. Soon after nine o'clock those
who were pleasure bent assembled at
the court house steps, where they
boarded score of automobiles and
trucks which took them to Rennie
Park, beautiful park that is owned
and maintained by the Graniteville
Manufacturing company, near Gran
iteville. This beauty spot, which has
been so greatly favored by nature is
said to be an ideal place for a days
outing, such as the Sunday school pro-
vided Friday. Besides the beautiful
trees, grass, flowers, there is lake
near by which gave an opportunity
for swimming, and a considerable
number, both young and old, took
several plunges during the day. 1t is
said that our friends, Gus Edmunds
and Will Strom, were about the young
es! men, or rather boys, in the crowd.
For time,they had the spirit of the
teens course their veins again. Upon
their return the children expressed
great delight over the days pleasure
and are deeply grateful to Superin-
tendent j. H. Cantelou and co-work-
ers for their efforts in making the
day such a complete success.

Hotel of Thirty Rooms.

The directors of the Dixie Highway
hotel held meeting Saturday morn
ing to confer with Mr.. G. E. Lafaye,
the architect, who came over from Co
lumbia. Mr.. Lafaye brought with him
a sketch of three-story building,
with three store rooms and lobby on
the first floor, which met with the ap-
proval of the members of the board.
The lobby will be in the corner and the
stores between the lobby and Stewart
and Kernaghan's store. Mr. Lafaye
has roughly estimated that the build
ing when completed will cost around
$4,000. Several applications have
already been made for the stores. Mr..
Lafaye will draw plans and specifica-
tions and receive bids for the con-
struction, which will require about
three or four weeks.
A committee WIS appointed to col
lect twenty per cent of the stock that
has been subscribed in order that a
charter can be obtained at once. No
contracts can be made until the char
ter has been granted by the secretary
of state. The members of the board
were instructed to solicit additional
stock as it will be necessary to have at
least $4,000 subscribed before any
thing definite can be undertaken.
With three stores, or two stores and
bank rented on the first floor as a
source of income to the stockholders
in addition to the rental of the hotel, a
dividend should be declared each year
on the stock, making the enterprise
desirable from the standpoint of an
investment as we'll as providing suita-
BILE hotel facilities for Edgefeld.

Sorghum-When to Harvest.

If sorghum is harvested when toe
green, the juice will be weak in SUI,
gar, and as consequence the amount
of syrup secured from the crop will
be much less than it should be. Juice
from unripe sorghum must be much
more carefully and thoroughly cook.
ed or it will yield syrup that will
have an unpleasant and "greenish''
flavor. If it is allowed to become
over-ripe, solids that are not sugar de-
velop in the juice and the consequent
amount of syrup will be less. Some of
the juice dries up in the stalk or evap-
crates and leaves the sugar in more
or less solid condition SO that it can
not be. extracted by crushing.
Many tests have / proved that the
best time to harvest sorghum is about
the time the seed is in the date dough
stage, just before it hardens. It is
much better to harvest when the crop
is in this condition, even if it cannot
be worked up for some days than to
permit it to become over-ripe.
1t is generally conceded that sor-
ghum should be worked up within a
few days after it is harvested, but in
practice this cannot always be done.
When delay in working is necessary it
should be tied in bundles of from
40 to 60 stalks each and set, on
butt ends, under shelter or piled in
such way that the air will have Gree
circulation through the pile. If hand
led in this way it may be kept from
six to eight weeks without much loss
in the amount or quality of the syrup
product.
Light frost does not greatly injure
sorghum, but in case of severe frost
the crop should be cut and worked ur
at once, even if it is not yet ripe
Frosted canes are all right until sue.
cedign warm weather causes fermen-
tation OF the juice in the stalk and
very quickly renders it unfit for syrup
