FARMERS BUYING TRACTORS

AS another concrete evidence OF the
awakening of our farmers to the i'm
portance of improved methods of car
rying on their agricultural pursuits,
eight or ten new Fordson tractors
have recently been purchased by them.
In the list OF recent purchasers of
this wonderful farm device few days
ago we incidently learned through
the local dealer that j. H. Montgom-
cry, Salters; DR.. H. S. Baker, Hem
ingway; ]. ?. Gamble, and W. N.
Clarkson, Heinemann; w. o. Thomas,
Leo; and R. F. Ward, Cedar Swamp;
were among the number. We note also
that many Of our farmers have pro-
Sded themselves with auto trucks
which they are using to advantage in
many ways.
We've only been living in Kingstree
little over eight years, and what a
pleasure it is to look back over this
short space Of time and note the pro-
gress that has been and is still being
made. Eight years ago there was
scarcely half dozen automobiles in
cluding Ford's, in the whole county,
now they are almost as numerous az
buggies, tractors are supplanting the
horse-drawn plows and auto trucks
are taking the place of the slow-going
one and two-horse farm wagons.
These are unmistakable marks OF
progress, activities along the lines OF
progression that call for and ulti.
mately, will be the means of bringing
about a better system of roads and
bridges, land drainage, ETC., so tha,
our farmers who apply these improv'
ed methods may get over his acres
of land that are now in swamp OF
that he may be able to load his truck
and 60 where he pleases without feal
of injury to self or machine as pos
sible result from the unsafe condi.
tion of public roads and bridges that
lie head of him
Awake, citizens of Williamsburg to
the vital importance of good roads
and better bridges as an absolute
necessity to your success and happi'
ness in this era of prosperity and
progress that is permeating every
nook and corner of the country.
Let's enhance our county by build
ing a bridge over the Santee at Muir
rvs Ferry. The time is ripe, a move
ment is already on foot Don't let it
lag. A number of sister counties will
help us if we show disposition to
help ourselves in this matter.

Reproducing the TaImud.

One of the circumstances due to
the wal is that it has been found nee
essary to reproduce the plates for
printing the Hebrew Talmud, orig
inally produced in the town of Will
ma, Russia. When this city vas cap
turcd by Germany the ~eleCtrOtypes Of
the Talmud, it is reported. were used
for ammunition. To reset the work
in Hebrew would take years with an
ordinary outfit.
. 1t was found necessary that the
plates should be made by photo-engrav-
ing. and this work Is now being done
in Montreal under the auspices of the
Union of Orthodox Rabbits of the Unit
ed States and Canada.
The Talmud contains 1000 pages, 8
by IA, and it is divided into Is volumes.
The first volume is finished, and the
second is in print now. 1t Is estimated
that il will take about two years be.
fore the work liz completed.

BEST" MONTH
Time OF Birth Has Little to Do
With Genius.
Statistics Show That Nature Practical
Iy Plays No FaVorites in Her
Production of the Gifted
Ones of the Earth.

AstrolOgerS believe that the planets
"reigning" at the time of birth gov
ern us throughout life, and that, from
a literary point of view certain months
are more favorable than others in
which TO be born.
Taking the hundred best British
writer's since the day Of Chaucer, no
less than fOrty-eigit were born in the
four months February, May, August
and November.
In February were born Charles Dick
ems, Pepys the diarist, and Thoflas
Moore, while of more modern date
and fame are George Meredith. Israel
2angwill, Anthony Hope, Harrison
Ainsworth and WiIkie Collins.
Pope and Addison were both born
In May, as also were Browning. Ross
ETH. Moore. Bulwer LyttOn, Thomas
Hood, Jerome X. jerome, and Sir
James NJ. Barrie.
August seems to be the birthmonth
of poets. for in that month were born
Dryden, HerriCk. Scott, Shelley, South
ey and Tcnnys0n.
Apparently November is an unlucky
month for literary people, for among
those who were born in November are
Thomas C%hattcrtOn, who, in diSappOtnt-
ment and poverty. committed suicide
at eighteen William CowPer, who suf-
fered from mclanChOlia and suicidal
mania, and finally died insane; Oliver
Goldsmith, continually in prison for
debt; John Bunyan, who spent II
years in prison, thereby giving us "Pil-
grim's Progress :" Swift, subject to fits
| Of passion and ill-humOr, died insane I:
| Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from
almost continual ill-health, and died
at forty-four.
SO much for the Favored months
or the others, January saw the birth
of Bobbie Burns, Byron and Lewis
Carol, author of alice in Wonder
land" who was also Il famous mathe-
matician.
March was the hlrthmOnth of SmOI-
lett and Steele. as also of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning.
In April WAS born the greatest
genius the English language has
known, William Shakespeare, while
among others born IN this month were
Wordsworth, Kchlc, Iieber, S~winburne
and Herbert. Charlotte Bronte and
Anthony Trollope We're also born in
this month.
June is not a very good month,
Charles Readc and Charles Kingsley
being the only two writer's.
July gave us TlraCkeray and George
Bernard Shaw, and those interested
in a~strology may find a resemblance
between the two SatiriSts.
September and October were both
poor months, Mrs. Hemans and II. G.
Wells being born in September and
COIeridgc, Keats and Sheridan In DC
tOher.
Finally Milton, Gray and Matthew
Arnold were horn in December. rs
were also Jane Austin and Carlyle.
SO there is hope for most people as
far as birthmOnths are concerned.

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-

The kidneys are the most important

kidneys, disease OF one form or another

Kidney disease is usually Indicated by

Roads to the South Are
Reported in Good Condition

mat the roads along the main trunk
route from New York City to the nrin-
opal resorts Of the South, including
FLORIDA, are now in passable condition
rs reported by the touring bureau of
the American Automobile A ISOLATION.
i'ietropolltan consulate. The sections
OF poor road IN Virginia, especially be-
.~eeh washington, D. c., and Frede
lcksburg, are now frozen and are read
lily passable, though naturally ROUGH
l mere are several other stretches of
rough roads further south, but all of
tnem can be negotiated without undue
difficulty.
Motorists going south with their
cars at :his time need have no hest
fancy about making the entire trip by
road. This Is fortunate, because the
extent to which automobiles are being
shipped by boat has taxed the capacity
OF the steamship lines operating be-
tween New York and points along the
south Atlantic Coast, particularly Sa-
vannah and Jacksonville. The Ameri
can Automobile Association, metropo]j-
tan consulate, touring bureau, suggests
to those who want TO ship their cars
That they use the service between New
YORK and Norfolk, Va, driving the rest
OF the way over fair roads. This al
tentative avoids the troublesome
stretch of road just south of Wash
'ngton, mentioned above.
Announcement also comes from the
same source that the new road be-
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore, via
Media, Corcordvillc, Oxford and Como
wingo. to a junction with the old trunk
line at Belair, is now in excellent con-
ditiop except n short distance be-
tween Wawa and Concorlville. The
detour here is over dirt road and has
been plainly marked by the state high
way department..

Branding Tires Good
Advice to Motorists

Brand your automobile tires as the
cattIeman brands his stock, if you
would stop stealing and make it nos
sible to recover casinos that have been
stolen" is the advice of the 3. f.
Goodrich Rubber Company.
Thousands of dollars worth of tires
are sold each year at public sales. con
Quoted by police departments through
motorists inability to identify their
property.
Tires may be marked by labelling the
inside OF the casino with heavy indel-
ible pencil marks. Thus the mark, to-
gether with the tire serial number
which should be recorded by the own
er the very first thing after purchasing
new tire, furnishes means Of iden-
LITIGATION and recovery.
Likewise, magnctos, battery equip
ment, spare rims and tool kits should
be branded. The small amount Of time
consumed in placing identification
MARKS wan more than repay the motor
list for his trouble.
