Do New Yorks well-inforrned writer's know that
sugar discovered about the year ia and for about
500 years considered less article of
medicine?
Do they realize that because of the harmlessness Of
Saccharin be great boon in the present crisis of
short sugar supply?
Do they know that our Government permits the use
of Saccharn in foods intended for nvaids, and, there
FORE Saccharn is considered harmful for them?
Do they know that Saccharin is used sweetening
agent in all civilized countries except the United States
in place of, auxiliary to, sugar?
Do.they know that enough Saccharin is available in
this country for foods and beverages in which the
added food value of is not DESIRED to release not
less than hundred million pounds of sugar for
where sugars food value is necessary?
Do they know that the of such quantity of
Saccharn would reduce the high of living less
than eleven million dollars annually in the item of
sugar?
Press dispatches announce that the u S. Department
of Agriculture holds, Saccharin is harmful drug the
of which is deleterous to heat We have answered
this in the foregoing. If the Government will seize food
product sweetened with Saccharin which has been
shipped in Interstate Commerce. the quality of which
within the provisions Of the Pure Food Law and
makes the seizure because 1T is sweetened with Saccarn
and will Immediately prosecute the shipper will
donate charitable institution the National
Chamber of Commerce may direct.
We have been urging the officials of the Government
for years to bring in the
question, but the issue has been sidestepped Why?
Saccharin can be used in the household and can be
had in the form of tablets, each tablet having equal
strength of one lump teaspoonful of sugar. Two
boxes-2oo tablets costing have the
ing power of more than three pounds of sugar.
The use of Saccharn should be encouraged and not
frowned upon-particularly at this time

MISS CLARK TELL A
SINGLE FIB IN FILM?
NAY, SCORES OF THEM!
That Is Why Her Picture Miss
George Washington" Is So
Enjoyable.

The mention of the name of George
Washington probably recalls more
wildly to mind the cherry tree incl
dent than the fact that he was the
savior of his country, so thoroughly
has that story been instilled into the
minds of the youth of the country.
Therefore, the announcement that
Marguerite Clark is starred by Para
mount in "Miss George Washington
which will be the attraction at the
Opera House next Tuesday, conjures
I'D one of two pictures-a girl who
cannot tell a lie. or girl who can
not tell the truth. In this case the
producers have chosen to parody the
name and the story deals with one
of the most accomplished little flb-
bers and mischief makers that one
could imagine.
Before the story closes everybody
is deceiving everybody else and there
is scarcely a reputation that is not
torn to shreds. But it is all in good
fun. and it all turns out for the best.
Miss George Washington" is one OF
the most delightful comedies IN
which Miss Clark has ever appeared.
Her support is excellent.

THE COUNTRY TOWN BE-
LONGS TO THE COUNTRY

"The country town is a part Of
the country. 1t is one Of the en-
couraging signs of the times that
country town business men are COM
ing to realize this. 1t has not been
SC long ago that every little town
thought that its business was to
row into a city just as soon as pos
sible. Some towns and many town
people still think so. Many small
town people, too, still think that
their chief relations and interests
are with the cities rather than the
country. The most far-seeing busi-
ness men have come to know better.
They are seeing more and more
clearly that the town, the small city,
in an integral part of the country,
that it prospers only as the country
prospers, and that it is its place in
the scheme of things to be the life
center of the country about it. The

A STILL NEAR GILGAL.

George Belcher did not put Gilgal
Church on the map but it seems that
he is to have something to do with
keeping it there. He lives on the
plantation of W. F. Radcliff, in a
mile of the church, but this does
not keep him from liking the smell
of a still. So he fitted up lard can
with worm which he fashioned out
of iron pipe, and made collar out
of tub, and was ready for action,
even the mash, made of corn and mo-
lasses being in the proper state,
when Sheriff Burts paid him a visit
on last Friday. George was in town
at the time. When he got home the
still was in town, and it maybe that
George will come down and stay
with US awhile.

We are told by the early histor.
ians, that the people who settled in
South Carolina were a more favored
people than those who settled some
of the neighboring colonies. There
were educated men ! among them,
men of letters, and<men learned in
the professions. The people. of
South Carolina have always had men
of education among them. The past
history of the state owes much to
this fact, no doubt. =

state and of the University, that it
would be an institution of better
standing than the University of Vir-
einia, or the University of North
Carolina. But is it? If not, why
not? Will the most ardent advocate
of the University maintain that it
is the ranking college of its kind in
the State? Will he maintain that it
does better work than even the de-
nominational colleges in the state,
whose income are several times less?
If he can prove that it does, he will
surprise a great many people in the
state.
Will it be maintained that the
University is. the place to send 2
Young man in the formative period
of character building-a better
place, or even as good a place, as
some of the other institutions in the
state? Are the restraints thrown
around a young man there, and the
corrective measures taken, which
should be taken to see that the boy
develops into the man he should be?
Do those in charge of the government
of the University keep up with what
is going on in the University? If
they do not, they do not perform
their duties as do the heads of other
institutions of learning in the state.
