ENCOURAGE COMPETITION.

It is with pleasure that we note the
action of the railroad commission in
laying down the law to the American
Railway Express company, and
charging them to route express ship
ments by the most direct route, even
though such routing places business
in the hands of the newly organized
Southeastern, competitor. It is a
good thing for the people that there
is some competition in the express
business, and if the public is mindful
Of it's own interests it will be only too
glad to see that its patronage is so
divided that such competition can be
maintained. The new company should
have every encouragement.

HONEY BARS

Honey is healthful as we'll as de-
licious. Used as basis for candy
it insures a sweet that is wholesome,
appetizing and unusual. Honey bars
have all those qualities.
Place in a saucepan one quart Of
honey, three generous tablespoonfuls
of butter and two tablespoonfuls Of
vinegar Boil the mixture until, when
little of it is dropped into cold
water, it hardens. Stir in two teas
poons of lemon extract; then add
slowly, crushing fine between the
forefinger and the thumb, Onc-half
teaspoonful Of cooking soda. Mix the
whole thoroughly, pour it into q but
tered platter, and when it is partly
cool mark it off in bars. making the
lines SO deep that the bars may be
readily broken apart.

MAKING THE ROAD SAFE.

The Newberry Herald and News
very sagely remarks, in an editorial
commenting on the efforts Of the Lex
ington county authorities to stop
speeding on the Augusta highway,
that few good sized fines on VIOLA
tors will have more wholesome ef-
feet than all the talk imaginable.
From which conclusion there can be
no dissent. And in all probability
some fines will be imposed, because
there are some careless, needless
people who have no respect whatever
for the rights of others and who are
going to be caught mapping. To be
sure it will be impossible to keep
speed cops on the road all the time,
but they will be there often enough
to nap some, and who knows when
they will be present. Persons who
by reckless driving endanger the lives
Of others should be punished. Lexing-
ton county is expecting her officers to
do their best to make the road as safe
as possible, and they are going to
do it.

WASTE APPLES YIELD RICH
SIRUP BY NEW PROCESS

a new extraction process converts
the juice Of even the most intensely
acid variety Of apples into a sweet,
rich sirup, which is entirely suita BILE
as a base for f1avoring extracts and
fer many other purposes. A valuable
hy-prCduct Of the process is a com
pound, known as calcium malate,
which is Identical with the socalled
sugar sand" hitherto derived from
maple sirup exclusively. This COM
pound forms the basis of malic acid
and was valued at $3.50 per pound
and more before the war. At present,
The only plants employing the pro-
cess are located in Nova Scotia, but,
as it utilizes a fruit which is now
being allowed to go to waste to the
extent of hundreds Of thousands of
tons = year, it is to be expected and
hoped that the method will come into
wide general use within the near fu-
ture.

AGREES WITH GRAND JURY.

The Lexington grand jury resents
the proposition of the attorney gen
era1 to have a murder case removed
from, Lexington to Richland. The
grand jury feels that it is refec-
ton upon the fairness and sense of
Justice of the Lexington people and
asks the solicitor of the circuit to
hand out an indictment in the case
and let it be tried in the county in
which the offense was committed.
We somehow have a feeling the same
as the Lexington grand jury that the
man should be tried as the law re-
auires, and that the Lexington jury
will mete out about the same justice
mat could be had in Richland.-New-

TRUE TO-DAY.

The late dope from Washington
makes it apear that John L. Nc
Laurin, former United States senator
from this state, is likely to have con-
siderable weight with the present ad-
ministration. Whether or not he will
be chief pie dispenser or not remains
to be seen. If McLaurin will use his
influence to benefit the interests Of
our farmers nobody will have much
Of a kick. But can governpaent &C
tion take the place Of private thrift
common sense and initiative? Hard
ly. It may, however, arrange better
credit terms for farmers and take
steps to deevlop export trade, and
thus prove of some benefit. But
nothing under the sun can so much
benefit the South as the adoption of
a sane and balanced system of di-
versifed agriculture, to which we
must sooner or later come if we ex-
pect to take our place in the world.
More than 80 years ago Henry W.
Grady, one Of the South's greatest
men spoke thus, and his words are
as true today as when uttered more
than quarter Of century ago.
when every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and
disturbed by no creditor, and en-
slaved by no debt, shall sit amid his
teeming gardens, and orchards, and
vineyards, and dariies, and barnyards,
pitching his crops in his own wis
dom and growing them in independ-
ence, making cotton his clean sur
plus, and selling it in his own time,
and in his chosen market, and not at
a masters bidding-getting his pay
in cash and not in a receipted mort
gage that discharges his debt, but
does not restore his freedom-then
shall be breaking the fullness Of our
day."

OURS ONLY HUMAN" PLANET

That the earth is the only humanity
inha bited planet and that within
some 100000 years it will be re-
placed by a new world, is the idea Of
Able Moreaux. famous French as
tronomer, director of the Bourges
Observatory.
Able Moreaux made this prophecy
during the course of a conference of
the former students of the Lyons
Central School. With the help Of
perceptive pictures he took the audi
ence for trip around the inconceiv-
able immensity of the astronomic
universe, through the dust Of suns
which cannot be counted, wherein
the earth appears only as impercept-
ible point, but thinking point.
This is what must give mankind
reason to be proud" declared Able
Moreaux. Men have the right to
be proud, since, despite their little
ness, they understand the mechanics
Of the heavens, and can weigh worlds
on the scales of their intelligence"
Another eminent French astrono-
mer, Camille Flammarion, believes
some planets are inhabited, especially
Mars. Able Moreaux, on the contrary,
is inclined to think that the sun, with
it's average temperature of 5000 de-
grees Centigrade, could not be in
abited, while Jupiter, Saturn, Nep-
tune and Uranus are gaseous globes.
Mercury, he said, is a chaos of metal
lie rocks, with oceans Of lead and
melting tin. Venus, the sister Of the
earth, possessing water and an at
yelling herself might per-
haps have animals, but no human
beings. The moon, our closest neigh
Dor. is a rocky, cold desert, without
About Mars, nothing
should be expected from the alleged
inhabitants, as they exist only in
the imagination Of a few novel writ
ers or astronomers.
"All these planets concluded
Able MoreauX, " will eternally be
lacking Of something, to be in reg
ular living conditions. s."-LOuisville

A Joke Worth Reading.

At the Rotary luncheon, yesterday,
Mr.. William H. Barrett, in the chair,
announced Rev. DR.. Ashby Jones as
the honor guest and speaker. Prior
to the after dinner talk, Mr.. Barrett
asked a few words from DR.. w. W.
Landrum and DR.. Sparks w. Melton,
who, like DR.. Jones, are former pas
tors of the First Baptist, and who
were Rotary guests yesterday. Both
gentlemen spoke q few words, voic-
ing their regard and affection for Au-
gusta and Augustans.

Melton, Sin being asked to say even

When the people learned next
morning Of the lynching and gathered
to view the victim, they saw the writ

writing on the placard meant.
Finally, they sent for an aged neigh

PRO PATRIA
Tin Sans had twins

Tip Sans had twins
And a razor-backed SOW,
Five dogs and mule
And an old roam COW;
A bone-spavined filly
And a one-room house,
And a little wrinkled woman
Just as meek as a mouse.
Old Tip raised tobacco
And he traficked in skins.
For he had seven sons
In addition to the twins,
And every mothers son.
And the little nanny. Jude,
Smoked a pipe all day
And the twins both chewed.
But Tip kept a-digging
And he never lost heart,
For the dogs hunted rabbits
And they caught a right smart;
And the bOne-SpaVlned hlly
And the mule pulled a plOW,
And they lived off the givings
Of the old roam COW,
And the acorn-fattened farrow
Of the razor-back SOW.
But here the story closes
Of my little romance,
For the seven sons are sleeping
On the battlefields of France;
But their daddy grows tobacco .
And trafficks still in skins,
And the little Wrinkled NANNY
Has another pair of twins.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG

Have you ever noticed that those
who really have the hard knocks in
life, and have to bear in the way
of physical or mental suffering, are
often the most cheerful and the most
plucky?
1t is the unhealthy morbid brood
ing over petty disappointments, diff
ficulties or small illnesses that inju1
us most. Some people get into the
habit of worry, and in so doing spoil
the lives of those around them and
warp their own.
BY constant worry the power OF
self-control is lost. The. ability to
be cheerful, courageous, and some.
times even interesting is gradually
undermined. Eventually this affects
the health, the appetite is banished
and the digestion and probably the
heart affected. The unhappiness
shows in the face. Lines appear be-
tween the eyes: they look dull. and
the skin unhealthy and probably
wrinkled
Worry sucks the vitality from not
only the one who gives way to it. but
from all who are near
Learn, therefore. to face life brave
ly, and. above all, don't make trouble
Of small or maginary ills.
