TEACHING BOLSHEVISM

1t is distinctly disturbing to learn
there are 10 Sunday schools regular
" in operation in Brooklyn in which
principles of Bolshevism are taught
and encouragement to believe IN
that fantastic doctrine given to hun
dreds of boys and girls. These
schools are >Socialistic in their origin
and largely Socialistic in their pur-
pose, but they go much further than
American Socialists are in the habit
of going by praising Bolshevism and
acclaiming Lenine and TrotZky. Nor
is that all. They uphold men con-
victed in this country for foutlng
the laws, thus creating the spirits Of
insurrection and bringing into con-
tempt our system of Government
and those charged with it's conduct.
The Brooklyn Standard Union in
commenting on these disturbing
conditions says. at requires no fine
vision to see where this thing viii
lead, to. The certain fruits of filing
the minds of the young with the
poison of Bolshevism, with class ha-
tired, with disregard for the law and
disrespect for our form of goven-
ment are anarchy. These boys and
girls will grow up in the belief they
should resist all authority and not
hesitate to plunge the country into
chaos in order to promote their po-
lit:cal and economic ideas.
The world has seen what red ter
rcr Bolshevism is. 1t has prostra-
ted Russia and is gnawing at the
foundations of other governments.
The threat is here's actually in
Brooklyn and in other communities,
especially the large Industrial cen
tiers. There should be way to close
these Sunday Schools just as
there are means of combating the
growth of Bolshevism. This farba-
rous thing must be challenged and
ore method of doing SO is by expos
ing it's wickedness, its utter Gisre-
gard for liberty and property"

THE WORLD IN PEACE

As a contemporary puts it, "the
curtain is about to fall upon the
greatest CT wars. The stage has
been cleared of supers and minor ac-
tors. The properties have been re-
moved. The table has been placed
for the final act of the vast world
tragedy. The places OF the leaders
have been designated. The docu-
ment is ready. The pens and the
ink are at hand. Only the massing
of the performers and the affixing
of the signatures remains. The
German National Assembly took
the only action open to it by voting
by a large majority for acceptance
of the inevitable. Yet it is report
ed that it had to be nerved for it's
painful task by two significant COM
muhications, message from William
II advising submission, and one
from Marshal Won Hindenburg, who.
having done his utmost to avert the
calamity, had failed, who knew the
impossibility CT resistance, and who
explained to the Assembly what
Marshal Foch could do"
:. When we Look back upon the past
few months and then turn to the
shuffling, the trickery, the evasions.
the whining, the anwillingness CT
the Germans to accept the edict of
the sword to which they made ap-
peal; when we recall the sort of
peace they made with Russia and
with-Rumania, their treatment of
Belgium, the penalties they proposed
to infict upon their enemies when
German victory seemed possible,
something of the bitterness of the
suffering they brought upon millions
of people is lost in thankfulness that
they are the conquered, not the COR
querors.
. The following gruesome statistics
of the late world war are IN order:
Killed, 100000; crippled. twenty
million; homes destroyed, one mil
lion. money loss, one hundred and
twenty billion; anarchic conditions
over one half of Europe and with
difficulty kept out of the remainder.

EhCoMING FOURTH OF JULY

Independence Day this year will
be an international event. In by
gone years the Fourth of July COM
memorated the birth of Liberty in
North America. This year it will
celebrate the world wide Liberty at
the close of four years conflict
from which the Goddess Of Liberty
has emerged victorious with her
motto "Sic <cmper tyrannis" faunt-
ing to the world.
Washington, capital of the United
States, will be the international! the
atrc. and active preparations are
now in progress to make this one of
the greatest events of the age.
Representative of all the Allied
and neutral nations of the world
will participate in the celebration to
signalize the coming of world peace.
Officials who are arranging the
details, are hopeful not only that
President Wilson will be home in
time to take part but that Marshal
Focn may be prevailed to accom-
pany him. Should the French gene
eralissimo be able to arrange it, he
would be presented on his arrival
with a magnificent sword as gift
of the Georgetown University, where
his brother is a member Of the fac
ulty.

THE PROHIBITION ACT

The House Judiciary Committee
very wisely struck out of the Prohi-
b!tion Enforcement law the prov!s-
ion which would have authorized the
search of private houses upon the
affidavit of two credible persons"
Nothing could be more likely to stir
,sp strife than the licensing of an
Amy of spies and invaders of
hcuseohld privacy. As it is. the pro-
vision on the subject ought to be
drastic enough to satisfy every rea-
sonable mind. Search of any place
fer intoXicants is still to be. permit
tel en- warrant issued by an au-
II ariZed court. Even this, if it is
carried out in a ruthless and fanati-
cal spirit, is sure to infame public
sentiment against the law. A mans
house is still his castle in this coun-
try, and though the majority Of
people may shed no tears over the
saloon. it is doubtful whether they
are willing to have their privacy Vi
plated by those who desire to pre-
vent their taking a glass of wine in
tt cir own homes.
By the terms of the prohibition
amendment the Government and the
States were vested with concurrent
Jurisdiction in the matter of enforce
ment. In our judgment it would
have been better to leave enforce
ment regulation entirely to each
State. But the prohibitionists seem
to be afraid to trust the people OF
the States in enforcing the law, just

drained soil that contains an excess of
organic matter.
Preparation.--Prepa the soil
thoroughly to o depth of II to IS
inches and excavate to. this depth and
sufficient width to accommodate
double rows off to run north and
south, as this will afford a maxi
mum amount Of sunshine.
Fertilizing and planting.-In the
bottom OF the excavation, place
enough well rotted manure, as when
packed Will make a, layer of six to
eight inches in depth; cover the ma
nure with from four to six inches of
top soil; SOW the seed in a flat bot
tom trench and cover to a. depth of
two to three inches. After the seed
have been planted, the ground should
be packed by rolling or by use of a
board packer but care should be
taken not to leave the soil in such
condition as to cause sun baking.

danger of cold injury, during the fall

PUREBRED POULTRY AT HOME.
Clemson College, December

Clemson College, December o.
The keeping of a flock Of mature pull
let's and young hens at home to pro-
vide fresh eggs and tender frys for
the family table is paying PROPOSE
tion. These hens will obtain some
food themselves and will receive the
waste of the kitchen, but it is usually
profitable to supply them with dry
mash in a hopper, or to moisten the
mash with water and feed them what
they can clean up quickly each morn
ing. s...... s
The sinlplest dry mash is wheat
shorts, and when this is moistened
with water or sour skimmilk or but
termilk, it is an appetizing. egg MAX
ing food and the hens lay we'll. But,
according TO F. c. Hare, professor of
poultry husbandry, one OF the best
egg ashes is composed of equal parts
by weight of wheat bran, shorts, corn
meal, ground oats, and fish meal The
latter food is sold by several concerns
in South Carolina for feeding hogs. It
is an excellent food to make eggs and
develop young chicks, because it ana
lyses nearly sixty percent protein and
over fifteen percent lime-the two
principal foods the layers and deve1-
oping youngsters require. The even
ing Of cracked corn, or any mixture Of
cracked corn and whole grains. should
be scattered in the grass or litter to
make the hens exercise.
Many of the visitors to the fairs
this fall purchased breeding pens of
purebred houltry for use at home. A
wiser investment could not be made
because these fine, purebred chickens
will not only provide eggs and frys
for the family, but during the spring
their eggs can be sold for Matching,
while at ether seasons breeding and
exhibition stock can be sold to poul-
trymen. The one hundred members
Of the South Carolina Poultry Breed
ers' Association belong to this class.
The poultry business Of each of these
members has developed into a most
profitable and pleasant side line, a
business in which there are so many
breeding and show problems to be
solved to produce the blue-ribbon
winners at the shows, that il has de-
veloped into money-making hobby
or pastime. There is room for hund-
reds OF other flocks of pure-bred poul-
try in our State. Let us discard the
tree-roostirg spotted Or striped hens
and start with pure-bred stock of uni
form beauty and practi2al qualities
