THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Do the young men who served in
the world war want to see the United
States embark upon a policy of COM
pulsory military service? Has their
service in the army convinced them
that the best thing that could happen
for their younger brothers and for
their children would be a compulsory
service in the nations army. Whether
or not such is their belief the apathy
which most Of them are displaying
toward the reorganization of the
National Guard will make such a step
necessary for the safety of the coun-
try. No doubt with most Of the boys
who served overseas the recollection
Of their experiences is too fresh to per-
NIT them to see a plain duty which
may run counter to their inclinationS
1t is the fact nevertheless, that the
United States cannot remain without
some measure of military protection
and it is also a fact that a standing
army of a size sufficient to afford
ample protection might prove Q, great
er menace to the people than even
compulsory training. A strong and
we'll organized and equipped national
guard, prepared to supplement a

What Did You Do?

Did you give him life? He's broth
er Of man,
And bearing about all the burden he
can.
Did you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped
him battle it through.
Did YOU give him your hand? He was
slipping doWnhill,
And the world, so he fancied, was
using him i'll.
Did you give him word? Did you
show him the road?
Or did you just. let him go on with
his load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight,
When a lift in time might set every
thing right?
Do you know what it means-just
the clasp Of a hand
When a mans borne about all a, man
ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was-why the
quivering lip?
Why the half-suppressed sob, and
the scalding tears drip?
Were you q brother of his when the
time came of need?
Did you offer to help him or didn't
yoa heed?

THE BOOM IN LANDS

THE BOOM IN LANDS
The Dispatch-News has been MAX
ing some inquiries with a view to as
certaining the underlying causes of the
boom in farm lands, but so far we
have found so many conflicting opin-
ions that it is not easy to arrive at
correct judgment. AS our lawyer
friends would say, the preponderance
of the evidence would seem to justify
the opinion that the controlling fac
tor is the price Of cotton, which many
believe will not reach the low levels
of some years ago. This years crop
has been most expensive one to the
farmers, but hopes are entertained
that the cost next year may be lowered
somewhat, while the world demand
for the staple together with decreased
production resulting from the boil
weevil, acreage reduction and other
causes, will tend to keep the price
somewhere near present levels. This
view may or may not be justified by
conditions, but undoubtedly the be-
lief in it's correctness is playing some
part in the prices which land is bring
ing
Also behind the land values is a
desire on the. part of some who had
practically abandoned farming to re-
turn to the soil Unfortunately this
movement is not so large as might be
hoped, but still there is more of a
drift back to the soil than has been
noticed for many years. A continu-
ance Of the present prices will still
further stimulate this movement.
The claim is made by some that land
values are too high, but there is room
for argument in this question. We
have not yet tapped the real riches OF
the soil in South Carolina and we do
not and will not knew the real worth
Of land until we have been forced by
the boil weevil out of the slavery OF
a one-crop system into the independ-
ence of diversified agriculture. Fol-
lowing the advance of the weevil there
may be a temporary slump in land
values, but once solidly entrenched
against the pest, we will begin to real
ize that there is a worth in the soil
that we had little dreamed Of. Prices
may or not be high; this paper does
not pretend to judge, but we do know
that in comparison with the money
asked for lands in some other States,
the cheapest land in the world today
is our own.
To the man who wants and needs o
piece Of land and who can pay for
it who can say that the prices asked
now are exhorbitant AS a specula-
tive proposition some individual tracts
may be beyond the limit of immediate
profit, but as a solid investment for
money which might otherwise be spent
for less substantial things nothing in
the world can surpass land in value.
It should also be remembered that
while lands may seem high when the
value Of money is taken itno consider
alton along with the price the increase
lis more apparent than real.
So far as Lexington County is con-
cerned the tendency seems to be away
from the large plantation to the small
farm, a movement which will in the
end prove of lasting benefit to the
county.

THE FIELDS.

Tt was in the summer time that the nelds were waving and chatting and saying these things to each other. Of course they were at their best and the season had been just right for them.
 ''There had been enough rain but not too much, enough sunshine but not too much. In fact, it had been quite perfect season so far.
 ''The fields always spoke of things having been nice so far for they never knew what the weather was going to be any more than the farmers did, and they heard the farmers talking in that way to each other.
 ''So the fields used to wonder if it would be dry and without even any showers for the rest of the season, or whether it would rain every day and hurt them!
 ''But this special day they were feel ing very well and very happy.
 I'm so good for food said the barley field. I am pretty and feathery, too'
 "1'm such lovely pale green color,' said the oats.
 "'And I am good and substantial lOOhIuSs Sd1Q tu0 WluI0T Wh0dC.
 "1 am very good for the feed of animals said the oats, and so are peas.'
 "T come in pretty usefully myself, said the winter wheat.
 "'How about me?' asked the Sorrel, a plant with yellowish blossoms.
 "'All right said the oats, but am such lovely shade of green
 "'You admire yourself, eh?' asked the sorrel.
 CT do,' said the oats.
 "'So do r. remarked the winter wheat.
 "'And I like myself, too,' said the barley field. We are liked by others, it added.
 "'We are, too,' said the winter wheat.
 "'Ah, ah, ah, don't boast too much, said voice.
 " And who are you, pray tellP the fields asked. Why shouldn't we boast when we have something to boast for?'
Williams news., 1919-08-08

"'You may boast said the voice, but not too much for I want to do some of it myself
 ''Then the fields noticed that the voice came from the direction of the clover hay field.
 "'Oh, ho,' said winter wheat, so clover hay wants to do some talking
 "Certainly,' said clover hay.
 "'Well, what have you to say for yourself? asked the others.
 "'Quite a lot,' said clover hay.
 "'Pray tell us what it is then,' the others asked.
 "'You are all very useful. You all make good food for the animals, both in the summer and in the winter.'
 "Winter wheat bowed gracefully. It was much f1attered to be especially noticed.
 "But have a special distinction,' said clover hay.
 "What is clover hay taking aboutT the others asked.
 "'Don't use such big words,' said the barley. Fields don't understand
 "1 mean that I have something Spe cial to boast of said clover hay, so don't want all of you to take up the whole summertime in boasting.'
 "'Ah, we see,' said the oats, clover hay doesn't want us to boast so it can get good chance at it.
 Right said clover hay. You're perfectly right
 "'What are you going to boast about?' asked the winter wheat.
 Myself, of course,' said clover hay.
 "Yes,' it continued, waving about, I can boast about myself and boast beautifully. I am the food the animals love so; they actually call me the anil malS' dessert. I am to the animals what ice cream is to the children and to the grown-ups, too.
 "It's all very well, all very well, to be regular, ordinary feed, but I, the clover hay, have the honor showed to me of being considered the best part of the animals neal
 And what clover hay boasted of was true, for clover hay is the dessert for the farm animalS.''

HOW RHEUMATISM
 BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-- tism are usually the result of failure of system. If the irritation of these uric acid crystals is allowed to continue, in curable bladder or kidney disease may result. Attend to it at once. Don't resort to temporary relief. The sick kidneys must be restored to health by the use of some sterling remedy which will prevent return of the disease.
 Get some GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules immediately. They have brought back the joys of life to count less thousands of sufferers from rheu- matism, lame back, lumbago, sciatics. gall stones, gravel and other affections of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder and allied organs.
 They will attack the poisons at once, clear out the kidneys and urinary tract and the soothing healing oils and herbs will restore the inf1amed tissues and organs to normal health.
 All others are limitations. Ask for GOLD MEDAL and be sure the name GOLD MEDAL is on the box. Three sizes, at all good druggists.-Adv.
