Offenders "Fifed" to Save;
They Get So They Like 1t

In the police courts Of New
York state it is getting to be a
common practice to sentence
minor offenders to a term of
saving, and in Syracuse last year
5000 was invested in this way
in war savings stamps, all later
returned to the men or used to
. help their families. At Niagara
Falls, when David BrOderick
was placed on probation six
months ago and ordered to give
the probation officer $12 week
for war savings stamps, he COM
planned bitterly. At the end of
six months he received S230.50
worth of stamps, and he vOlun-
tarily placed himself on inief-
mite rtObation, promising to
bring in $40 a week to continue
his savings investment.

Woman Doctor Predicts Great

Politics.
EDUCATED HERE FOR MISSION
Or. Yamei Kin as Baby Was
the Only. Survive: Of a Family
of Plague Victir1s-Takins
Great Strides.

Honolulu, Hawaii.-Behild the calm
exterior of life which she has built
up to a point of success such that she
is recognized as the foremost woman
physician throughout the length and
breadth of China, DR.. Yamei Kin, who
passed through Honolulu recently on
her way to the United States, has a
life history that has few equals for
romance and interest.
Many years ago a physician Of
wealth and leisure named Doctor Nc
Cartee was travelling in the far East,
going from village to village in China
studying the language and customs.
His quest lasted nearly fifty years.
One afternoon he stopped for the
night in village devastated by the
plague, and while walking about
among the silent, death-marked huts
he heard the wall of tiny baby. He
discovered an entire family lying
dead in the hut, with the exception of
a baby girl.
AuOpIcu LiIIlS SiPiIslis
Having no child, the doctor adopted
the little orphan and, sent her to
America for an education. He gave
her the best medical training that time
afforded, hoping to make of her a
great woman physician, and in time
she was graduated from medical col
lege in New York city, an institution
that ceased to exist when the Cornell
and Columbia university medical col
\leges for women were opened. She
is now DoctOI Kin.
Never for a moment, however, did
Doctor Kin forget the land of her
birth, and as she grew to be consid-
cred a brilliant Chinese woman in
America her efforts for the women Of
China were untiring. She has lee
tured and written in behalf OF China,
and has held a position under the
Chinese government with view to
bringing the republic and the United
States into better understanding.
According to Doctor Kin, women in
China are taking seven-league strides
to rid themselves of the environment
Of practical vassalage under which
they have lived for ages past. She
predicts great things for an awak.
ened China soon. The doctor is on
her way to the United States to make
experiments which she feeis will be
of benefit to her countrymen.

Orangeburg Farmers Organize.

Clemson College, August 16. -
Orangeburg County farmers are Civ
ing further evidence Of their progress
siveness in the movement to organize
a livestock marketing association, the
first of its kind in South Carolina.
F. L. Harkey, field agent in mar
keting, has just returned from
Orangeburg, where he and H. S. John
son, district agent, and D. w. Will
liams, extension animal husbandman
took part in a meeting of farmers on
August 18th to discuss and take pre-
liminary steps in the organization,
which was suggested by L. S. Wolfe,
county agent.
The plan Is to have a stock COM
pany with capital stock Of say s5.-
900, and a paid manager who will
sell all kinds of livestock and serve
the organization in various ways to
promote the livestock industry and
the interests OF the stockholders and
the people as a whole. Another meet
ing is to be held August 25th to per-
feet the organization, at which there
will be present representation from
several adjoining counties. An organ
ization expert from the U. S. Bureau
of Markets will attend to help in the
work.

SALT FOR HOGS.

Clemson College, August 20 -
There has been a great prejudice
among hog feeders against the use
Of salt in the ration, says D. w. Will
liams, of the Extension Service ami
NAL husbandry division. Many feed
ers believe that the results will be
fatal if a hog is allowed a liberal
quantity of salt. During the past few
years this idea has been entirely dis
approved. Feeding tests conducted at
Beltsville, Md, at the Iowa Expert
ment Station, and at other stations
have shown beyond doubt that the
cheapest gains were made where the
salt was settled. Many feeders use
salt ma mineral mixture, with char
coal, wood ashes, lime and copperas.
However, the quantity Of salt in this
mixture is usually not sufficient, and
feeders would do we'll to feed salt in
box by itself where it would always
be available. There is some danger in
feeding salt in large quantities when
the enimals are not accustomed to
it. The amount fed should be small
at first and gradually increased Sc
that there will be no danger Of the
hogs overeating On this feed.

Commissioner Harris Gives Farmers
Some Good Advice.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 14.-Com-
missioner Harris has gone to Okla
homa to deliver q series of addresses
in that state in the campaign to or
ganize the American Cotton Associa-
tion. Before leaving Mr.. Harris gave
out a statement in which he advises
the Farmers not to rush their cotton
to the gin, and he advances his reas-
ons there for.
Il wish to urge the farmers" says
Mr.. Harris, not to gin the first pick
ing of cotton while it is green. If
they will pick it and put it away in
house and let it stay there for four
or five weeks the lint will grow and
get heavier and it will make a much
better sample. The ginners' report
will not be so big and it will have a
good effect on the market, both for
cotton and seed.
"1 wish to beg the farmers not to
sell until the price goes above G5
cents. have examined quite good
deal of cotton and l find that it has
been drowned by too much rain and
it cannot recover. By the 25th Of this

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Reference has already been
made in these columns to the
Democratic nominees for the
offices Of Senator. members of the
House of Delegates, States At
torney, Clerk of the Court and
Sheriff, and to their Individual
strength and merit.
When we come to the nomi-
nees for County Commissioners
it is at once apparent that there,
too, the Democrats have an es-
pecially strong claim to the sup
port Of all those interested in eff
fieient and clean government. In
spite of isolated criticism as to
scattered details here and there,
always incident to the routine of
any administration, the accom-
pliShments and record of the
present Board stand out as a tri-
butte of faithfulness and efficiency
on the part of the individual mem
bers and as an irrefutable argu-
ment for the continuance in
power of the party for which they
stand.
The Audit of the County Com
missioners' Office by Black & Co..
certified public accountants, pub
lished in this issue, furnishes in
itself most gratifying report to
the taxpayers and citizens of
faithful stewardship.
This is not matter of gossip
or speculation as to what has
been done or how it has been
done, but is an actual demonstra-
ton of facts and figures.
In giving credit where credit is
due no one can gainsay that the
people of the whole county owe
a debt of gratitude to the Presi-
dent Of the Board, Mr.. James A.
Walton, whose expert knowledge
of financial affairs, coupled with
jealous interest in the eounty's.

public business, have made him
an official who has rendered sig
nal public service and given him
increasing qualifications in this
respect. He is a candidate for re-
election and richly deserves it,
both on his past record as well
as for continued usefulness dur
ing the coming term.
\ Mr.. Henry B. Myers, of the
Second District, another member
of the present Board who is on
the ticket for reelection and who,
also, has a record for faithful and
efficient performance of duty ex-
tending over a period of six
years. He has proved to be in
public Office what he has always
been in private life, a level-head-
ed, conscientious and honorable
mau, and his service has been a
credit to himself and the county.
Mr.. r. Lee Hardesty and Mr..
Mahlon Disney, of the First and
Third districts, respectively, have
made good during their short in
cumbency to fill out the unex-
PRED terms of the late Messrs.
Bassford and Williams and both
fully measure up to the high
standard OF merit required for
membership in the Board,
The other three candidates on
the ticket for County Commits
sioners, Messrs. Wilson Carr, St.
George Barber and David Ar
niger, give exceptional promise
of being among the strongest and
most capable men on the Board.
They are all prominent and rep
resentative men from their re-
spective localities and are well
known to be counted on to stand
for clean and progressive gov
eminent.
With such ticket the Demo
cratic party can go before the
people with every reason to be
proud of it and confident of the

serves.
