When an aviator loses his head he j generally loses his life. Miserable March! Aren't you glad| the month is more than half gone? President Wilson is about to break his neutality resolution concerning! Mexico. Who could blame him? Reducing their bu?ness to a gallon a month will cause not a few blind tigers over the State to open their eyes and find more honorable empl jyment. If all the men in the State of New York who are no more insane than Harry Thaw were sent to Matteawan, that institu tion would have to be en larged a thousandfold. Among the many advantages of the galloh-a-month law, possibly you had overlooked this one: It will cause some undesirables to emigrate to regions where they can slake thair thirst ad libitum. The Barnwell dispensary board for got that South Carolina now has a governor that wilt not tolerate graft in any form. The people of Barnwell county should approve the action of Governor Manning in removing the board. We are sure that the people of South Carolina will. Largest Battleship Afloat. Yesterday the Pennsylvania, the most formidable battleship ever con structed, was launched at Newport News. It even surpasses the English dreadnoughts that have recently been crumbling the forts along the Dar danelles. The 12 14-inch rifles that ari carried by the Pennsylvania have an extreme range of 22,50') yards, and the shells will penetrate 12 inches of armor at a distance of 15,000. The rifles are 52 feet in length and require an expen diture of $600 each time one of them is fired. There are four other battleships of the same type under construc tion. Should Outlaw Pistols. Of the scores upon scores of homi cides that occur annually in South Car olina, it would be interesting to know what per cent, of the mortal wounds are inflicted by pistols. We do not be lieve it would be an extravagant esti mate to say that at least 75 per cent, of homicides result from pistol wounds. When the prohibition law is ratified by the people, reducing to a minimum the | carrying of the bottle in the hip-pocket, would it not be well to enact a pro- j hibitory law so drastic in terms with reference to the carrying of pistols on the person that this death-dealing weapon will always be left at home, if owned at all? German Cruiser Entrapped. It appears that the German Crusier Prince Eitel Friedrich is entrapped at Newport News, where she put in a week ago for repairs. The report is current that there are several English warships off the Virginia coast await ing the departure of th?; German ves sel, just as the American fleet awaited the departure of the Spanish fleet] from Santiago harbor. While, of course, we are all neutrals, norminally, if not j neutrals after the Woodrow Wilson type, yet since this same German cruiser unjustifiably destroyed the William P. Frye, an American sailing vessel, we would secretly rejoice to hear that the English dogs of war had j devoured the German cruiser. Furthermore, it seems rather strange that we should allow a German vessel, or even one from the Allies, to come into one of our ports for repairs and depart at will after confessing to hav ing sunk one of our merchantmen. It appears to us that it would be meet and proper for this government to hold the Eitel until proper reparation has been made for the unwarranted de struction of the William P. Frye.

Crop of Colonels Late. Governor Manning seems to be dila tory in creating a new crop of colonels in South Carolina.

The city of Anderson has fixed the license fee for carnivals at $1,000. That is a very proper step and one worthy of emulation by tue council men of Rock Hill. There ought to be no '?oom in this city for a carnival. - Rock Hill Herald. Man a Strange Animal. It's a funny world. A man who con demns himself for some ?ault usually gets mad if some one else condemns For the same thing. Probably the man is not very sincere about his self-con demnation while he shrewdly suspects the other man is.-Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Fly a Deadly Enemy.

Ga.Tney Ledger. Not Alwavs So Easy. A New York man made all prepara tions lor his wedding even to the ex tent of inviting the guests before he asked the girl to have him. But then he k lew the answer would be "yes" and so it was. Asking the girl to have you is getting to be the smallest prob lem of marrying.-Spartanburg Jour nal. .fr -j. .fr ??

"Now, Willie, said the Sunday school teacher, turning to a small pupil, can you tell me the difference bet veen caution and cowardice?" 'Yes, ma'am, answered the little felbw. When you are afraid it's caution; when the other fellow is afraid it's cowardice."-Chicago News. "I am much bothered, he said; 1 can marry a wealthy widow whom I don't love or a poor girl that I do love intensely. What shall I do?" "Listen to your heart, advised his companion, and marry the one yon love." "You are right, ray friend. I shall marry the girl." "Then can vou give me the wid ow's address?" While traveling in a western town the following conversation was overheard: ^-??T?J? "What are they moving the church for?" "Well, stranger, I'm 'mayor of this place and I'm for law enforce ment. We've got an ordinance that no saloon shall be nearer than 300 feet from a church. I gave 'em three days to move the church!"-New York Times. A suffrage meeting was drawing to a close. The speeches had all been made and the meeting was thrown open to questions by the au dience. Said the presiding officer: "Now is there any woman here who would like to ask a question? Don't hesi tate to ask any question you'd like to, any question at all about any phase of the woman question." For a few moments there was si lence. Then a woman arose and ask ed : "May I ask any question at all?" 'Certainly, said the speaker per suasively. What question would you like to ask?" "Well, said the woman. I'd like to know how you got that smooth effect over your hips." ASaloonlets Nation in 1920. The Young Campaigners for Pro hibition will appear in costume of National Society in the Edgcfield Opera House. They are the proph ets of "better da vs coming: by and by." To Keep Hogs Healthy. No one should attempt to raise hogs unless he is willing to give them good feed, good care, and pro tect them in every way possible from disease. Worms, bog cholera, lice, and canker sore mouth kill large numbers of hogs throughout the south, especially little pips. To prevent worms, keep the fol lowing charcoal mixture before the pigs all the time: Charcoal, 1 bushel. Hardwood ashes, 1 bushel. Salt, 8 pounds. Air slaked lime, 8 pounds. Sulphur, 4 pounds. Pulverized coppera?, 2 pounds: First mix the lime, salt and sul phur thoioaghly, and then mix in the charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas in two quarts of hot water and sprinkle it over the whole mass, mixing thoroughly. Store this in a barrel under shelter, and keep some of it in an open shallow box where the hogs can get it as they wish. -United Stales Department of Agriculture. No Looking Back in Edge field. New Evidence Constantly Being Published. Since the long succession of Edge tield reports were first published in the local press there has been no looking back. Edenfield continues to pour in, and-better still-those whose reports were first published many years ago, verify all they said in a most hearty and unmistakable way. Read the experience of Mrs. M W Padgett, of Cedar Row, Edge field, says: ]"1 had torturing pains in my back and a g?nerai weakness came over me, causing: me to feel depressed and tired during the day. At night I couldn't get much sleep, owing to kidnej trouble. Nothing gave me relief but Doan's kidney pills. A short use of this remedy brought quick and positive relief.
