BOY SCOUT WEEK
JUNE TO JlJNE. Ia

The President of the United States
by proclamation has recommended to
the people that the period beginning
Sunday, June Sth, to Flag Day, June
l4th, be observed as Boy Scout Week
throughout the United States for the
purpose of Strengthening the work
of the Boy Scouts of America. This
proclamation by the President is the
first notification to the people of the
United States that a nationwide cam
paign is to be begun:
First: To secure million members
of the National Council.
Second: To secure definite rec.
ognition of the effective service rem.
dered by the Boy Scouts of America
Third: TO make a survey of the
facts relating to the boyhood of each
community in order that with the co.
operation of churches, schools, and
other organizations definitely en-.
gagged in work for boys, adequate pro
vision may be made for extending the
Boy Scout program to larger pro,
portion of American boyhood.
The campaign is now in process OF
being organized under the active
leadership of the Honorable William
G.. McAdoo. The mechanical organi
zation of the campaign will be com.
parable to the organization that the
Red Cross has always had for its
War Fund and Membership cam.
paigns.
"Wc feel sure" said +. G. Munroe
General Manager Southern Division
of the American Red Cross, that
nothing is more important at this
critical period in the history of the
nation than the installation Of sound
ideals in the minds Of our boys and
young men,"

THE JOY OF SAVING
)on't save for a "raiy day"

Don't save for "raiy day"
Save so that there won't be any
rainy days.
That is the philosophy of optimism
the kind of thinking that is going to
make you happy and make your old
age period of fullest enjoyment 1t
is the forward-looking, empire build,
Ing spirit of America.
There is lot of joy in saving
Don't let it be dull, hateful duty
Save so that you can win the delights
OF competence, not because you can
not afford to spend. Save so that you
can afford, little later, to buy some
thing you want very much
If you go into the saving habit with
smile you will learn the JOY of saw
ing because saving leads to temper
ance in all things, to constructive
thinking, to clean living, to building
for the future.
Start your mind going along saw
ing lines and then watch it travel.
1t will take your fattening pocket
book along with it.
Learn to think in interest, to elimi-
nate waste, but for goodness sake
don't be stingy.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE,
W.W.L.S. BOY REPLIES

In reply.to my honorable opponents
debate in the paper last week, wish
to say that the debate which was is
sued by the Woodrow Wilson Literary
Society swas the work of
one and only one of it's members.
:. II one boy can make the girls think
that all the society helped him with
his work, what could all the society
, put out!
If the girls would take a glance at
the Sunday school lesson for-two Sun
Sundays back they would have all
the proof they need. The Bible said
that God made man in His own i'm
age. Is there better pattern any
where than God? know some girls
!hi"k they were made after a better
one, but they were not. The Bible
also said that God put man on the
earth to rule over everything and
woman was put here as a companion
to MIN. Now anybody can see that if
iod put man here to rule and woman
as an associate that He would give
man more mental power.
Ny opponent said in her first de-
bate that it took the devil to tempt
woman, but woman tempted man. l
wish to say that both woman and the
devil tempted him.
To-day man has an analysing
brain. He is out in the world every
day confronting new problems of
life, while the women are at home
doing the houscwork, which they
should, just like their ancestors.
Why are there so many girls who
don't want to go to Winthrop Col
iegc? Because it is hard work Take
Carolina, on the other hand, where
the boys take up in the first year what
the girls at Winthrop do in the sec
ond. The University takes the same
work in the Inst year that Columbia
College does in the third. Does not
that show that the boys mind is far
past that Of the girls?
The people wanting woman suf-
fragc show weakness of mind, be-
cause when the woman starts a po-
lltlcal campaign in the world, right
then the respect that man has for
woman is going to fall.
How the birls enjoy the Edison !!
Who invented it?
How they like to ride in the car!
Who invented it?
Who has helped in every way to
the comfort and pleasure of tbs
world? 1t has been the man. Never
in the crises of this world has avon
an been called upon to express her
opinion on anything.
In conclusion | want to give the
reason for not putting our name at
the bottom Of our articles. 1t is not
our desire that the credit should 20
to any one individual, but we want
everybody to know what the Wood
row Wilson Society is made of.

IN MEMORIAM
Mr.. James r. Davis

On the 18th day of March, 1919
the death angel visited the home OF
Mr. James 7. Davis, Of Wexford sec,
tion and claimed him. His age was
46 years and six months.
While it saddened our hearts to
give him up, we had the blessed as.
surance that he was ready to meet
his God above. James was good
man. Those who knew him loved
him.
He was sick about six months and
when he saw that death must conquer
he assured his friends that all was
we'll
o, how it grieved the heart to
stand by the coffin of one we love so
dearly, but what consolation that
death is only dream and that some
sweet day beyond the swelling flood
we will meet to part no more.
The body was laid to rest in Zoar
burying ground. He leaves wife
and six children, five brothers and
four sisters, and host of friends to
mourn his death.

Henry Ford has sevrcd notice that
ne will contest the seat of Senator
Newberry, the Republican Senator
elect from Michigan, on the ground
of fraud in counting the ballots and
because Newberry spent several thou
sand dollars in his campaign more
than the law allows for campaign cx-
penses. A Republican Congress will
hardly unseat Newberry no matter
how much fraud or lawlcssness may
be involved. The Republican margin
in the Senate is too close to spare a
Republican vote.

WHERE THE BOY HAD ONE
ON HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford, the automobile man,
was camping with n party of tr.cnds
in the woods of Washington County,
Tennessee. Mr.. Ford was busy saw
ing wood with which to replenish
the camp fire when he was approach
ed by the small son a neighbor, Mr..
Lee, who offered his assistance.
"All right, my sonny, come on,
remarked the noted car maker; and
when the two had been cutting wood
awhile, MIR. Ford said to his young
helper: "Do you know you are saving
wood with Henry Ford?"
Not for a moment overawed by
the great man in whose presence he
stood, the lad rctortcd: "And do you
Nnow you are saving wood with Rob-
crt l.. Lcc?"
Gle received from Mr.. Ford a
brand new car for this bright remark.
Ford, it is stated, told the members
Of his party, who were, John Thomas
Edison and ii. Fircstone, that he had
never heard such a splendid comeback
and he was so Impressed that he sent
the boy a Ford car, new and fully
equipped. The Ford party spent the
night on ihc Lee farm, near Jones'
boro, an Ford also assisted in many
Of the chores around the house.-The
Ansonian.)

FLAG ETIQUET

1t is important to know just how a
loyal American citizen is expected to
act toward the flag and the rules re,
garding behavior and courtesy due
the flag. Here is the flag etiquet a:
authorized by the United States.
When the colors are passing, the
spectator, if man, should halt wher
walking, arise if sitting, and uncover
holding the headdress opposite hi:
left shoulder with the right hand.
A woman should stand at attention
as the flag passes by. When the flag
is waving from stationary flagstaff
or pole it is not saluted with the hand
In decorating, the flag should never
be festooned or draped, but always
hung fiat. If hung with stripes hori
zontal, the Union should be i'm the
upper left hand corner. If hung per.
pcndicularly, Union should be in up.
per right hand corner.
When the flag is carried in parade
or when crost with other flags tn.
Stars and Stripes should always be
on the right hand side.
The law specifically forbids the use
of any representation of the flag
in any manner or in connection with
merchandise for sale.
The flag should be raised at sunrise
and lowered at sunset. 1t should not
be displayed on stormy days or, ex-
ccpt when under of the enemy, left
over night. Altho there is no author
itative ruling which compels civilians
to lower their flag at sundown, good
taste should impcl them to follow the
tradiaions of the army and navy i'm
this sundown ceremonial. Primari-
ly, the flag is raised to be seen, and
sccondarily, the flag is something to
be gaurded, treasured, and so tradi-
ton holds it shall not be menaced by
the darkness. TO leave the flag out
at night unattended is proof of shift
lcncss, or at least carelessncss.
On memorial day the flag should
be displayed at half-mast from sun
rise until noon, and at the peak from
noon until sunset. 1t should. on be-
ing retired, never be allowed to touch
the ground.
When the "Star Spanglcd Banner"
is played or sung, uncover, stand and
remain standing, in silence, until it
is finished.
Applause at the conclusion of the
Star Spanglcd Banner" is out of
place.
Worn out flags and useless flags
should be destroyed by burning and
never disposed of in any other way.
A flag torn or frayed by the wind
and weather should never again be
hoisted until it has been repaired.
This is a regulation Of both the army
and the navy and the rule also be
followed by all civilians.

WILL GET THEIR MONEY

The suit against the United States
by citizens whose cotton was seized
by the government during the Civil
War has been decided in favor Of the
claimants. The full amount Of the
claim is 17G, ,GGG.79 and a check for
that amount has been paid by the
United States Treasury Citizens Of
South Carolina and number Of other
Southern States will come in for a
share Of this money. The case has
been in the courts for many years.

Let's Stop Eating Cotton and Tobacco

At a recent farmers conference at
Tuskcgcc Institute Negro farmer
told how he had raised 81 200 worth
Of cotton and put all the money in
The bank. He had raised enough
corn, meat, poultry, vegetables, etc.
to feed his family and meet running
expenses, so his cotton was truly a
money crop" We don't eat cotton
any more" he is reported to have
said; "we bank it,"
That is the thing for cotton grow
crs generally to do--to quit eating
cotton. Many Of them have quit but
there are still too many who look to
the cotton field for their bread and
meat. Some tobacco farmers, too,
still have the same unfortunate habit,
and they, too, must break themselves
Of it. Cotton and tobacco are good
crops, but not to eat. Let's quit try
ing to eat them Southern Agricul-
turiSt.

TRY 1T SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making YOU
sick and cannot saliyate

Starts your liver without making you
sick and cannot salivate
Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
it perfectly safe and give better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
few cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver slug
giskness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-
lent calomcl. Take dose of calo-
mel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseatcd. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
OF vigor and ambition. Adv. 5.

The local stocks proved to be sur.
prislngly immune to the unSettling in
duence Of the violent gyrations of the
New York market. There was some
nervousness manifested in the early
part Of the day. which was altogether
logical in view of the widc-Opcn break
of prices on the big exchange. This
timidity, however. soon disappeared,
mainly because of the complete absence
OF either urgent unloading or forced
liquidation in any of the local stocks.
The more noticeable effect was to
place a further restraint upon spccu-
lative activity. As a result the dealings
in the purely local shares were relatively
small, while price movements with but
few EXCEPTIONS were confined to frac-
tional limits.
In absence Of supporting orders
American Ship yielded IA points to
IS. but subsequently regaincd more than
half OF the loss. Electric Storage Bat
terry was the biggest surprise Of all.
Despite the recent excited trading the
price held like a stone wall at 97R. and

labor troubles we easily moved NJ
| nearly a point to 0S%. No better proof
Of the stock having passed to strong
hands could be given.
Philadelphia Electric also in all the
