PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

Now, you remember we left little Puss
Junior In the last story on top of a high
mountain, where his Magic Alrship had
landed him. And hope you haven't for
gotten that a little old man with a long
white beard and a high peaked hat had
suddenly come out from behind a big
stone and bowed to Puss
I'm afraid my Magic Airship has
left me, said little Puss. Now l must
depend on my legs. But I am a long
long ways from the castle where my "a

A Bowl of Oats, 20 Cents.

1Chicago-With oats in the bin in
his state Selling at Is cents, William
Roylance, statistician for the Bank
of North Dakota, said he paid 20
cents for some when he got few in
a bowl.
81 stood in line for twenty min
utes in restaurant here and then
got a dish of oatmeal for 20 cents.
Where 1 came from oats are a drug
on the market at Is cents bushel," /"
he said.

city by declaring the "system OF
transportation is all balled up" and
added, "We have everything you
want, but can't get it to you," in his
address before the convention of pub
lie ownership experts here.

Pays State Conscience Money

Samuel T. Carter, state treasurer,
yesterday checked off tax dodger
from the path of the wayward and
placed him, the unknown taxpay-
er," on the side of the ledger that
leads to the straight and narrow
path.
The reason for this checking off
was the receipt by Mr.. Carter of a
perfectly good $40 bill from some
man who wished to pay a debt he
owed the state. The sum was sent as
conscience money, apparently, the
sender not leaving any method of
identification and thereby not helping
his cause in the eyes of the govern
ment as nobody knows who the con-
science stricken man could be.
The letter containing the $40 bill
was on scrap of paper, typewriter,
and contained these words: "The
amount is owed to the State of South
Carolina. Please credit to same" The
bill was from the First National
Bank of Marion, N. c., and the let
ter was postmarked Columbia, stamp
ed at 1O:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The money will be credited to
the general fund and thereby will be
used by the state.
This is the third conscience con-
tribution within the last Is years,
two others years ago being for $3.50
and $3.50, according to treasury Of
ficials.-The State.

Says France is in Peril.

Washington-In dramatic speech
seething in fire and eloquence, Pre-
mier BRAND of France presented has
country's case to the arms conference
Monday.
France, the premier declared, is
still in peril from Germany. While yap-
parently disarmed he said, the Teu-
ton nation could, with its present ma
chinery, raise an army of six or sew
en- million men. At least one fourth
million Germans, he added, are re-
ceiving military instruction under the
guise of "police." Although a part
of Germany wants peace another
part, headed by the war party, is
continuing to preach the old Prus-
sian doctrine. For that reason, Pre-
mier BRAND said, France cannot dis
arm. 1t proposes further reductions
in it's army, however, which would
bring it to half its former strength,
but still leave the force he contend
ed was necessary.
Following Brands speech spokes-
men for the other powers followed.
France got eulogies but, as BRAND
knew would be the case, from none
of the major powers came words of
binding guarantees-which France
still longs for but realizes will not
come. So land disarmament will
go back to France with BRAND, sub
ject for future consideration when
sick Europe has convele" I'd from
some of her after war madness. The
question was referred to commit
tee where, so far as America is con-
cerned, it will rest.
AS a result of the premier's ad-
dress Frances "specia position" as
policeman" in Europe is recognized,
and her anxiety as neighbor of Ger
many is admitted.
Acceptance by the United States,
Britain, Japan and Italy of Frances
needs to protect her frontiers from
unwarranted aggression by the Teu-
ton hordes, which have twice within
the last half century swept across
her frontiers, solves the problem of
land armaments for this conference.
No efforts viii be made at this
conference to reduce or curtail
Frances army, which is recognized as
defensive force aimed to protect
not only La Patrie, but civilization
and liberty for the world.

Postal Authorities Request Use
of Regular Size.

A. bulletin received at the local
postoffice says:
During the holiday season large
quantities of very small envelopes
and cards are put into the mails with
the result that all postal work is very
much retarded and mail disfgured
and mutilated.
The minimum size of cards and
envelopes should not be below 2a
by a inches for the following rea-
sons:
1. Addresses will be obliterated
by cancellation mark.
2. Too small to be run through
facing table, necessitating three ex-
ira landings with consequent delay
not only to this but other mail.
8. Delay in cancellation because
of awkwardness in putting through
cancelling machines.
A. Delayed through difficulty in
sorting.
5, Liability to loss or damage as
small sizes do not fit letter packages
and can not be tied securely.
These odd and diminuitive sizes
of stationery have come into use in
+ha noc+ fo,,, ware and nnl1y. annpar
now in any quantities at Christmas
time when the whole postal institu-
tion is keyed up to top speed and try
ing to keep on top of the load.
In this connection we appeal to the
women especially to avoid stylish
forms of handwriting, "debutant
stuff" as one postal worker calls it,
and use instead a plain, if not SO
pretty, handwriting.

Many northern people say they are
dubious about a country where COM
.mercial fertilizers are used. South
Carolina needs fertilizers only be-
cause the average South Carolina far
mer is inclined to be slipshod in his
work, because it is necessary to raise
such a crop as tobacco on thin soil.
In South Carolina a money crop can
be grown on a piece of land and in
addition heavy legumc crop can be
raised and plowed under the same
year. Many farmers do this; many
farmers do not do it but raise cotton

F1lS Earnings.
Northerners have asked me why,
if all these facts be true, Northern
people do not come into the country,
whether schools are poor, whether
there is sentiment against North
erners, and similar questions. The
answer is that many Northern men
are here and more are coming every
day. Andrews is practically North
ern town; many Northerners are To-
Gated near Georgetown and Charles
ton, and Chadbourn in North Caro-
| lima is populated largely by farmers
from Indiana and Ohio who bought
| land at SIS to SIS per acre in 1900.
Five years ago I saw land in that
state sell for $3.50 without improve
ments; land near Andrews that could
have been bought ten years ago fol-
SIS will now bring 500 to $3.50. If
WANTED to discuss speculative values
I could tell you of 5000 acre area
lnear Charleston bought in 1904 fol
81 per acre that is now selling as high
as $1,000 an acre, but that is not 8
usual thing of course.
There is nothing phenomenal about
these rapid increases in land values
| The waste land Of South Carolina il
worth more than its price; the. price
is low merely because there is sur
plus and as the surplus disappears il

SUSSEX CRor CONDITIONS.

seaford. June 2S.--while crops Of
every description in Sussex county
are suffering, owing to the continued
druuth, they are holding up remark
ably well in all cases where they are
receiving proper cultivation.
shortly after the early planting OF
sweet potatoes an insect got into
them. and a great many farmers were
compelled to replant. The replant-
ing took place at the beginning OF
the dry spell. consequently the later
niants have suffered. The bugs also
have played an important part In
the poor stand Of white potatoes, al
though the drouth has hit them hard.
Cantaloupes and watermelons are
showing up remarkably well and give
every promise OF big crop.
There are very few tomato fields IN
sussex county this year. but where
they are seen, they appear to be hold
ing their own.
The farmers are hard hit on the
wheat Weld. the acreage running only
from 10 rs bushels to the acre, with
the great mapority Of fields yielding
below II bushels 70 the acre. Corn
Is more than holding its own and the
fields look fresh and give promise
of Welding well.
