Lord Bryce, former British Ambassador to the United States opens up aurng visas by his declara- ton that the American and English people plunged it.
 If this great could identify itself i'll interest and purpose it would indeed, be well for the rest of the world. Of the blood the traditions and ideals of the AngoSaXon clan should inspire to per manetn unity. It is clean It is the race which has developed the germ Of liberty. It is the race which has fostered spiritual growth. It is the race which has enlarged all civilization. It has ennobed education and encouraged science and invention. It has done much to rescue from the sepulchres of the past and reinspire it's ideals in the modern soul.
 The came periously to wrecking the world Humanity must be rescued. in way from what Lord Bryce calls the abyss of calamity " In his view to England and America g. special call to this high duty.
 Self government is the keystone of the arch. The English pledged to sef-government. The common faith of Englishmen and Americans is grounded in the principle of liberty their devotion offered to the uplifting ideals in the home and in the nation.
 It is conceivable Lord Bryce says, that every thing depends on the friendships Of England and America. America is strong, but it IS not her bond It is because she is impartial touched by the ambitions and jealouses which distract all of Europe.

In St. Matthew's Alone.
"sI do not believe in divorce on
any ground and therefore 1 do not be-
lieve in remarriage. The fact that
the single exception in st. Matthew'S
gospel is found in that gospel alone,
and that st. Luke does not make an
exception nor does st. Paul in his
epistles has led many eminent schol-
airs to look with suspicion on the sin
gle exception.
"eThe verse in st. Matthew'S is:
'And 1 say unto you, whosoever shall
put away his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery; and whose
marrieth her which is put away doth
commit adultery

verse that canon AZ of the 'constitu-

church permits if the bishop of the
diocese approves, the marriage Of
the innocent person if the other per-
son was unfaithful. One year, how
ever, must elapse before a marriage

into power on a platform of the re-
lection of the League of Nations.
The President and his party have
been quite considerate of the South
so far and we hope they will contin-
ue o However, we hesitate to say
too much in his behalf for fear of
having to take it back. We only hope
that he will continue to measure up.
Illustrating his common sense and
democracy is the story of his refusal
Ito use a gold dinner sent at a hotel
lin Atlantic City. That stamped him
as being opposed to the "royal fool
lishness" which some would surround
the president with.
Of this incident the Detroit Free
Press says:
"When Warren G. Harding waved
aside the gold dinner set in the Allan
tic City hotel and demanded 'the
tools to which I have been accus-
toned" he made a gesture of democ-
racy which will find Endorsement in
the heart of many a commoner, and
which will keep him in good standing
with the neighbors at Marion.
eff the news has been spread
abroad that the President had eaten
his Sunday dinner on a solid gold
plate and with a 14-karat knife, fork
and spoon there would have been
considerable talk back home. The
crowd at the Marion club and the
group in front of the postofice would
have been shocked a little and a little
resentful. There would have been
sure to be misgivings. Marion is
proud of "the SENATOR" as they call
him down there, and she wants him
to be stalwart. Gold plate is a SYM
boil to Marion, as indeed to most of
America, of effete and tinseled aris-
tocracy, if not of actual royalty.
$50 the presidential veto on gold
dishes at Atlantic City will maintain
'sthe senator's" standing as a good
neighbor and a substantial citizen
undiminished in Marion and will
furnish further proof to the rest of
the nation that our amiable, gre
garious President is a regular fellow,
who spurns the trappings of place
and remains close to the sources of
his Acknowledgements Chronicle.

Gold Dishes and Democracy.

President Harding's sound common
sense has appealed very strongly to
Americans since he was inaugurated
and we might venture the ouinion
that after six months of Harding no
one can say that he is a fiat failure,
or that he is controlled by the sena-
torial o~ligarchy. OF course, his adj
ministration is yet quite young and
we will have to observe him under
more crucial circumstances than have
yet developed. The president takes
more vacation trips on the Mayfow-
er, we believe, than any other man
who has ever occupied the White
House and life with him seems to be
one weekend vacation after another.
However, if he does nothing worse
than this his critics will not be cap
tious in their remarks about him.
The President has called a disalm-
ament congress, which is the next
best thing after his party was swept

Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalks
and Clean Fields Thoroughly.

Clemson College, Sept. ~. line
earlier the cotton stalks are destroy,
ed, the fewer the boil weevils that
will survive the winter and conse-
quently the smaller the damage to
the next crop, says Professor A. F.
Conradi, entomologist, who advises
that as far as possible the stalks be
destroyed at least two weeks before
the first killing frost, for the early
lfall destruction of cotton stalks is
practically the most important single
step in any system of fighting the
boil weevils. In other words, clean
ingof the fields, destroying the stalks,
and the planting of cover crops con-
%stitute most powerful weapons for
the farmers, who by efficient fall
farm management can dictate to a
great extent how many weevils shall
pass the winter on his farm. This
fall cleaning program is also of the
greatest benefit generally in Destroy
ing the winter homes and the winter
food plants of other injurious pests
of the farm.
Boil wevils multiply in cotton I'M
til frost kills it. Many thousands of
them may occur in each acre of cot
ton. Weepils hibernate, that is they
pass the winter, only in the full
Igrown stage. Hibernation usually be-
gins with the coming of the first
killing frost. The weevils hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and stand
ing stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The most favorable
condition for successful Information
is found in fields where cotton stalks,
grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted, piled and burned. This
has a very serious disadvantage of
destroying a large amount of vege-
table matter which should be turned
under. Whenever the farmer is
equipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have been cut down
with the chopper, it is a very effec-
tive plan. A less effective method is
ito Craze off all green cotton within
a period of a few days. Whatever
the method the destruction OF. stalks
Some of the many advantages Sc
cured from cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are (1) A
great many full grown weevils are
killed outright; (2) Many young
stages in the plants are killed; 90
The full grown weevils not killed will
be weakened by starvation if the
stalks are destroyed two to three
weeks before the first frost and these
will not have sufficient strength to
pass the winter successfully. The
removal of the stalks also facilitates
fall blowing and the planting Of
cover crops.
