Already New Minister, Under
Secretary, Political Re-
porter and Director
Appointed.

Berlin, Aug. 81. by The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Reorganization of
the foreign Office will begin soon
but it cannot be expected to move
veg swiftly since the newcomers
must take sometime to become
acquainted with their work says The
Deutsche Allgeimeine Zeitung.
Already one new minister, an
under secretary, a political director
and a personal reporter have under
taken their new duties at the foreign
office.
The system will be altered so that
one individual will coArol all rela-
tons with one given country,
whereas now political, commercial
and new relations were handled
separately.
There are about so diplomatic
posts to be filled beside countless
legation and consular positions.
The ranks which diplomats abroad
will ltake is still uncertain and is
considered probable that many
countries will appoint charges
d affairs, an example which Germany
must follow.
TIE paper says that the general
commissary at Versailles, Director
Simons, after leaving the state
se.vice, will become business direc-
tor of the imperial association Of
German industry.

many a farmer who, though he
realizes the economy of letting farm
machinery do much of his work in
the growing and harvesting Of his
crops, completely overlooks the fact
that there is much other work on
his farm that machinery could do
more>economically than he is today
doing by hand.
undermining the farm means let
ting machinery do all the work on
the farm which can be done as well,
or better, by machinery than the
farmer can do it by hand, and at
much less cost.
"In undermining the farm three
things are absolutely fundamental;
First the installation of an electric
light and power plant; second, the
installation OF good water supply
system; third, the installation of a
sewage disposal system. All three
of them are so closely related in the
value they hold for the farmer that
it is difficult to say which is OF first
value.
IF the proper water supply, cleo
trio light and sewage disposal sys-
tenn are installed, they will last a
lifetime. giving uninterrupted serv-
ice during the whole time. With
this in view the modern farmer can
we'll afford to consider thoroughly
undermining his farm, instead OF
only partially dong So

SUMMERTON NEWS

For the last few weeks the news
bureau from Summerton has suffered
immensely owing to- the fact that
there has been very little happening
in this little burg on the Santee.
Folks over this. way are all busy dis
cussing the boil weevil, livestock,
strike situations, Mexican problems
and other up to date questions and
the business houses have very near
suspended business on account Of the
shortage of the present cotton crop
and the tendency of the farmers to
hold on to their ready cash for the
hard times which are scheduled to
come this wary during the stay Of the
boil weevil. The merchants who have
done time business for the past year
are on the war path gathering up odds
and ends and trying to clear their
ledgers and have them put on a new
appearance for the first of the coming
year. Some few who have idle mo-
ments from their busines hours arc

guns on the abundance Of partridge in

due to the extreme dry weather re-
turns have not been so heavy, the bag

FENCE YOUR FARM

Mr.. Sam Thigpcn, who lives near
Manning, has had little hard sled
ding IN getting started with purcbrcd
hogs. Sometime ago he bought a
purcbrcd Duroc boar out forgot to
have him made immune rom cholera.
Yesterday it died as did three other
pigs. This serves to remind us that
there are certain things that must be
done when raising hogs to insure us
against loss. One Of the most impor-
tant is to see that your hogs, especial
ly your purcbrod hogs, are made i'm
munc from cholera. The Gimultan-
cous treatment as now given is no
l"n|cr an eyDcrimcnt but is the only
tNin@ that will keep hogs from getting
cholera. In buying purcbrrh stock
make it point to ask inc seller whc.
thcr the animal is immune from
cholera. If not have the treatment
given as soon as you get it home.

gotten a tedious march of it, but trust
not as severe as what we have already
passed through, as / understand the
country is better supplied with water
etc. This army is somewhat de-
moralized and am under the impress
sion, that Gen. Johnson's object in 60
ing to Enterprise is for the purpose
Of re-organizing, and unless Mobile is
threatened, I doubt very much if we
will see any active service for some
time to come. 1t is very humiliating
to q South Carolinian to be connected
with an army under such circum-
stances. Things look more gloomy al
