ployed at the Seaboard shops in
Jacksonville prior to the strike
which was called by the machin-

He is well informed on condi-

win it, though their victory may
not come for some time. He alsv

Georgia Cotton Crop Failure.

Georgia's cotton crop prospects
are the worst in the United States
and the 1922 yield will be far be-
low that of any of the last 20
years, according to statement
made few days ago by the ag-
ricultural bureau at Atlanta.
Heavy rainfall and the boil wee
vii are responsible for the serious
condition, it is stated. Some far
mers becoming discouraged, have
turned to other crops, another
contributing factor in the prom
ised crop shortage of the year.
"In Georgia, the central and
most important cotton district,
the crop was virtually ruined by
the boil weevil," the report con.
tinues. Damage wrought by the
pest has been enormous. The
catastrophe was foreseen in 1921
and many farmers seeded down
their fields, planted other crops
or allowed them to lie idle.''

Suggests American Cromwell.

The eternal quarrel between
capital and labor must be COM
posed if the future is to have Sc
curity, writes Savoyard, Wash
ington correspondent. Capital is
vitality interested. If a Cromwell
should appear and captain labor
and awful situation would arise.
What do we see at the present /!
Reduction Of wage from ocean to
ocean and increase in the cost of
living in every schedule of the
McCumber monopoly tariff. :.
Newberryism tends to hasten
the advent Of an American Crom-
well, fanatic of gigantic and
imperious will with genius to
combine and fuse all elements of
discomfort. If such a man should
come and revolutionize America
as Oliver Cromwell revolutionized
England, there will be terror in
all our industrial centers. ~r
The one specific against bloody
revolution is wisdom in council
and justice in administration. In
the womb Of the future may be
the tremendous circumstance that
America was saved by our be-
loved South, the home of the
Anglo-Saxon, where there is little
fuel to feed the fires of revolu-
tion and terror. ....

MANY OUT OF FOLD.
Less Than 500 Citizens Enroll for
Democratic Primary.

/ y
When the enrolment books OF
the Fort Mill Democratic club
closed Tuesday evening in com.
pliance with the party rules, af-
ter having been open for several
weeks, it was found that 497 cit
liens of the town and township
generally had qualified to vote
in the primary OIL August 20 for
State and county officers. This
year for the first time in South
Carolina women will take part in
the primary and it was thought
that many of them would well
come the opportunity to have a
voice in the selection of public
officials, but the Fort Mill club
rolls show the names of only 69
who will be able to vote next
month.
Apparently few mistakes were
made by Fort Mill citizens in
signing the rolls. The rules
OF the party require that one S
name be spelled out in full on the
club roll, that his or her age be
given correctly in years and that
the. occupation or profession of
the person enrolling be stated.
Locally these details seem to
have been complied with almost
entirely. An examination of the
Fort Mill club roll yesterday
morning disclosed only one name
which is practically certain to be
stricken from the roll by the
county committee. Other errors
may be discovered by the COM
mittee, however, which will re-
suit in the enrolment being cut
down somewhat.
b Two years ago the enrolment
i'll Fort Mill totaled $50, which
The Times stated at the time was
slightly in excess of the 1918 ell
rollment, but even with the in
crease of 1877 III the enrolment
this year over that of two years
ago, it is perhaps correctly estl-
mated that only a few more than
half the men and women of the
township who could have voted
IN the primary this year will be
able to do so. Interest in the
town primary last year was much
more pronounced than it has been
IN the State and county primary
this year, as is evidenced by the
fact that with citizens of the
town only being eligible to vote
for municipal officers the enroll
ment then ran to over 500.

ROCKY ROAD FOR TARIFF.
Lafollette Will Aid Democrats in
Forcing Reductions.

Party leaders generally agree
that the tariff bill cannot be pass
ed before September l and can
not be passed by that time if it
encounters persistent opposition
from Republican progressives and
the deserting members of the old
line Republicans, says a WASH
ington dispatch. The bill will
then have to 60 to conference
and as the senate rates, in many
instances, are much higher than
the house rates, it may be as
sumed that the house conferees
will make an effort to restore the
house rates OH many articles,
which will mean futher delay.
But there is another obstacle
to the adoption of the bill with
the senate rates if the usual pro.
ccdure is had. The senate con-
ferees, according to an establish
ed rule, will be composed of tho
three ranking majority members
Of the finance committee and the
two ranking minority members.
The ranking Republican members
of the committee are McCumber,
Smoot and Lafollette. The rank
ing Democratic members are
Simmons and John Sharp Will
liams.
Lafollette is against the extor-
tiOnate senate rates and also is
opposed to the eXtOrtionatc rates
in the bill as it left the house, so
that it may be assumed he will
vote with the two Democratic
members in restoring most of the
house rates which were increased
by the senate. SO that it will be
seen that the profiteering tariff
bill, which President Harding has
repeatedly urged shall be passed
against the better judgment Of
many members of his own party
III both the senate and house, still
has a rock road to travel.

NO STATE AID?
Source of Funds for Teachers
Salaries Uncertain.


Trustees Of the Fort Mill pub
lie school are somewhat uncer-
tain how they will meet in full
the payment of teachers salaries
during the 1929 session of the
schooi. AT meeting of the
board OF trustees several weeks
ago agreement was reached to
pay the teachers the same sala-
ries for the coming session that
they were paid during the last
session; but it is now stated that
word recently was received from
the education department in Co.
lumbia that the fund appropriate
ed by the Legislature to supple
ment the salaries paid teachers
from local funds has been ex-
hausted and that the trustees of
the Fort Mill school need not eA-
pect any aid from that source this
year. The local levy lacks sew
eral hundred dollars of providing
sufficient money to meet the bud
get OF the school, the principal
item of which is salaries, but the
trustees yet have hopes of secur-
ing at least part of the State
aid the law guarantees shall be
Forthcoming when certain condi-
tions have been met in local as
scssments for school purposes.
There is no question of the Fort
Mill school district having COM
piled with these conditions, it is

No Fatalities in Air Mail Service.

The air mail service OF the gov
ernment has gone through the
last year without single fatal
ity. Planes flying on the various
divisions between New York and
San Francisco have covered more
than 1.750,0OO miles and carried
more than 49.000,000 letters, in
all about 1924, 500 pounds. Last
year when the first through ship
ments from coast to coast were
made II lives were lost, includ-
ing those of three pilots.
The record from July 16, 1921.
to July 16 this year is by far the
most wonderful performance in
the history of practical flying.
The percentage. of trips complet-
ed was 92.5, as compared with
80 per cent the previous year.
Officials of the air mail service
attribute the new record to the
fact that the pilots have become
better accustomed to their routes,
several Of which contain some Of
the most perilous flying country
in the world. There are stetches
of more than 100 miles over the
Rocky mountains where IA stop
ped engine means calling it day.
Every day not less than q pi-
lots are in the air flying approx
mately 5000 miles, or more than
twice the number of miles from
New York to San Francisco. The
total number of miles travclel by
the planes last year equalled 70
times around the world.
Mail sent through New York
to San Francisco is taken across
in three days, beating the rail
roads more than "a hours. Pilots
fly by divisions, their speed av-
eraging about 100 miles an hour !;
sometimes, when the wind is with
them, three miles an hour.

NOW MANY CABINETS.
War Extends British Form of
Government.

government.
Geography necessarily deals
with kings and presidents and
emperors, who change the face Of
political maps and influence eco
nomic conditions; not so fr.-
quently does it reckon with cab
inets, which are growing fac
tor in world affairs.
Before the World war broke
up the autocracies of Eurpoc.
France was the only republic OH
the continent employing the Brit
lsh form of cabinet government.
now the list includes. besides
France: Finland, Esthonia.. Lat
via, Lithuania, Poland, Germany,
CzechOslovakia and Austria,' ac-
cordmg to bulletin of the Ma
tional Geographic society.
Recent agitation to permit
members of the United States
cabinet to be present on the floor
Of the senate and house to take
part i'll debate on matters con-
cerning their departments serves
to bring out the differences be-
tween the privileges and duties of
the cabinet members in various
countries.
ITO begin with, the cabinet
of the United States is Il cabinet
III name only, for the government
nf thn JTp;+,,l S,,,,,, .; -, -, .,.,,,...,
Il cabinet government as are the
governments of Great Britain
and France, and those of a large
number of other leading countries
OF the world. There is not even
formal sanction for the existence
OF our cabinet as an advisory
council to the president. The
members have an undoubtcd lc-
gal status as heads of the vari-
Gus administrative departments,
but the president need never call
them together. President Wash
lngton held no cabinet meetings
at first and President Wilson did
not call his department heads to-
gether for Il period of many
months. When the president does
receive the advice of his cabinet,
he is under no obligation to fol-
low it.
Great Britain is the mother
OF cabinets as well as the mother
of parliaments.' Her cabinet is
not of fixed size and while most
members are heads of depart
mcnts, there are members with
out portfolio who have no spe-
cial duties. In direct contrast to
the situation in the United States
every member must be Il member
OF either the lower or upper
house of Parliament. All have
seats in both houses and therefore
not only have the privilege of
debating but also of voting. Of
greatest Importance, when an i'm
portant vote in the house of COM
mons goes against the cabinet it's
members must resign. so as to
permit new cabinet, usually of
the opposing political party, 10
be formed.
1.-The cabinet, under the Brit
lsh system, is really committee
OF the house of commons which
the party in power permits to
manage all executive affairs and
to shape and lead all Legislative
action. The cabinet in action is
the real government while it
functions the prime minister is
the real ruler and Parliament is
his instrument.
But there are checks and bal
arces. The house of commons
can force the resignation of the
cabinet and the cabinet can force
the dissolution of the house. The
matter is thus put squarely up to
tie people, who elect another
house, from the majority party Of
which new cabinet is chosen"

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy o.
have bladder trouble-Take
glass Of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu.
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over.
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, duh and
lifeless, Is caused by a lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle Of 'Wyeth's sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair SO naturally, SO evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound Is that. be.
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, It also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives il
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Conn
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful an.
oearance to the hair. Il Is not IN.

AFRICA LOSING WILD GAME
Unless Speedily Afforded Protection
Many Species Will Shortly Be-
come Utterly Extinct.

South Africa, which has long been
regarded as having an almost mex
haustible supply of wild game, is
threatened with extinction of several
Of its most valuable species, animals
for which explorers and hunters like
Colonel Roosevelt sought in modera-
ton, and which others have slaugh-
tered wantonly for their hides, horns,
or merely for the pleasure of killing.
In an article in the Geological So
ciety Bulletin, A. X. Haagner, direc-
tor of the National Geological Gardens
of South Africa at Pretoria, says that
many wild animals may soon be as
scarce in Africa as others are in the
United States.
The white rhinocerOs, the graceful
nyala-a species of antelOpe-the
bOntebOk and the mountain zebra, a
quaint little animal with the stripes
in which children at the zoo delight,
are rapidly vanishing from the South
African hills and plains, and those in
terested In their preservation are find
Ing great difficulty in arousing.- the
people Of the country to the necessity
for protecting them in preserves.

East Indian laborers Slow.

A story Is told Of British army Of
ficer In India who watched some native
workmen making packing cases. Their
slow progress irritated him so much
that thinking he might get them to make
squirt, he told the superintendent that
one English carpenter would turn out
more cases in day than ten of his
native workmen. This put the Indian
on his -mettle, and trial was sug-
gested, skilled carpenter being found
In the ranks of the artillery. The fol-
lowing day this strange test took place,
and by closing time the one English
man was three packing-cases ahead of
the ten natives.

EXPLAINING KNOTS ON TREES
They Mark Spots Whore the Branches
Have Left the Parent Stem
or Trunk.

Trees are formed Of three parts
the roots, the parent stem or trunk,
and the branches. When the trees
are cut up into lumber, the first of
these parts Is useless, and generally
Is left in the ground to be salvaged
later for other purposes.
The branches Of the tree are also
comparatively useless. but the trunk
produces a number Of valuable planks
In proportion to its diameter.
In spite Of the fact that the branches
have been Topped off, they leave their
mark upon the. parent stem in the
shape of hard. round or oval spots,
which we call "knsts." Each of these
knots shows where the limb of the
tree was growing, because the limb
had its beginning in the heart Of the
trunk, drawing its sustenance directly
from the central source of supply.
The hardness of knots is due to the
fact that more strength is required
at the base of the limb than farther
out.
