tumorous Ilrpartmrot Much Mourning Color.?The negn has a sense of humor peculiarly hit own, remarked Speaker Clark sometime ago, according to the Pathfinder and he never objects to a joke wit! reference to his own color?provided he makes it himself. Down in Missouri lives a colored man who has won foi himself considerable local renown 01: account of his ability as a landscape gardener. He was engaged one da> aoMin? out shrubs on his employ eFs lawn. The owner of the place was nowhere in sight, but quite a company of the gardener's friends hung on the fence surrounding the lawn, intently watching every move. Another negro who was driving for a physician living in the community observed for a moment the row ol spectators, then turning to the doctor who was just getting into the buggy, he remarked solemnly: "Doctah, dere's somebody shorely dead at Mr. Jones' house." "Dead?" said the physician. "1 think not, Tom. I should have heard of it if any of the family had been ill." "Well, doctah," said the driver, pointing to the row of dusky individuals decorating the pickets of the fence, "ef dere ain't nobody dead at Mr. Jones' house, what fo' is all dat row of mournin' strung along de fence?" Can't Make Him Out.?Out at a motor vehicle works, where a new building is in process of erection, a gang of laborers is busily at work, says the Detroit Free Press. One of them, a short, heavy built young fellow of 22, has been dubbed Shakespeare by his fellow laborers, because of the extraordinary vocabulary he possesses. Shakespeare remained unnoticed by the officials of the company until sev1 T* i a q mild with the ertu uu,jo rfcv. *v >..v ...... timekeepers that each person employed in the factory must make out a time slip for each operation performed during the day. Here are two slips that came from Shakespeare recently: "Spent the morning on the erection of floor hoisting motors with aid of crane and redepositing them upon prepared positions." "From o'clock to , wheeled brick, Made philosophical generalizations upon the institution of labor. Mentally cursed Eve and the apple." And now the officials are wondering as to that particular laborer. They can't quite figure him out. As one of them said: "I'm not just sure whether the boy was trying to make fun of our system or whether he was merely showing how bright he was." Such is Fame!?In spite of his advanced age, that wonderful veteran. Sir Evelyn Wood, manages, by his energy and enthusiasm, to show a patriotic example that has done not a little to stimulate recruiting, says Pearson's Weekly. During his long career in the army Sir Edward has had many amusing experiences, and he himself relates the following against himself: The famous soldier, like the late lx>ra KODens, is noieu iur ms mm. stature and when he returned home from Egypt an entertainment was given in his honor at his home in Norfolk. A big crowd of people had assembled to welcome him and among them was an agricultural laborer's wife, who was very anxious to see the popular hero. -Which is Mm? Which is Mm?" she kept on asking, and at last, when Sit Evelyn came in sight, a bystandei pointed him out to her. "What?" she exclaimed in tones ol deep disgust. "That little man Sii Evelyn Wood? Why, even my olc man could thrash him." What He Meant.?Many years agi there was an American missionary located among the Indians in the fai west who was of a hospitable turr of mind. He always kept hard cidei on the premises. If any one of his widely scattered flock of Indian: chanced to call upon him, he woulc bring them forth a jug of it. One day a strange Indian called?one whom he had never seen before?evidently an unconverted heathen, so far as Christianity was concerned?but com verted to the consumption of alcoholii beverages. He^ as it turned out, hac been coached after the manner of i student at a university. His acquaint' ance with English was limited. H< opened fire upon the astonished mis sionary thus: "Abraham, Jacob, Jonah, Job, Satan Beelzebub." and then paused, evident ly expecting a reply. "What on earth do you mean?' asked the the missionary, he not hav ing been christened after any of them drawing himself up in a dignifie< manner. The Indian pithily replied: "I meai cider."

It is stated than one hundred and fifty artificial legs per week are being made for the British and French governments. This is fine for manufacturers, but think of the suffering of the poor fellow whose leg is shot off and whose loss is America's gain. The total contract for artificial legs awarded by the British and French governments amounts to fifteen million dollars.? Chesterfield Advertiser. Him Will I Confess. When the evangelist was here some days ago he embarrassed and offended several young men by asking them publicly whether they were Christians. Since hearing these incidents I have tried to understand the state of mind or the quality of mind that causes one to be embarrassed when religion is mentioned seriously. When Blease was running for office his followers were glad to wear his badge and proclaim themselves his friends. Does it seem reasonable that men should be proud of Blease as a leader and ashamed of Christ as a leader? Is not religion as important, as reasonable, as logical, as politics? Why the difference??Fountain Inn Tribune. Pay Your Proachor. The average country church will soon begin making an effort to raise the balance due on the pastor's salary. As a rule country preachers do not get much of their promised salary until toward the end of the year. There is an old saying that the servant is worthy of his hire. It isi found in the Bible, and it is just as true as anything else in the Good Book. And no servant is more worthy of his hire than the preacher who serves a country church. This year the farmers have been blessed, as a rule. They are in much better condition than they had reason to expect a year ago, or even . six weeks ago. Will they now let their pastors suffer? Surely not. It will be a sorry community that does not pay its preachers this year.?Anderson Daily Mail. ? m t ( For This Reason. We recently heard of a man who had fallen out with another for the simple reason that he held views contrary to ' his own on a matter of minor importance. He has made unkind remarks about him to others and shown himself unfriendly in more ways than [ one. The man against whom he holds the grudge has no feelings whatever against the other fellow, but accords , him most cheerfully the privilege of [ thinking and acting for himself. InI deed he was not aware of the fact that the other fellow was knocking him until two or more friends told him about it. Now. what can be said of such a fellow, especially in view of the fact that he is a man who has enjoyed splendid educational advantages? Is he narrow minded? Is he little and mean? It would seem that all these questions might be answered in the | affirmative. And vet, for this reason. onH tViic olnno thnt onmp nnp not agree with them there are people 1 all over the world who are knocking other people. Think of it. For this 3 reason! For this reason! Let it soak in. For this reason!?Greenwood " Journal. ' 1 The matter of obtaining potash for * making balanced fertilizer for the * crops of 1916 is causing much con" cern among thoughtful farmers as well as among fertilizer manufactur' ers. However, when it is known that " the average clay soil contains already a large supply of potash the chief concern should be in converting that " into scoluble or available plant food. ? It has been estimated by competent * chemists that ordinary clay soil contains in the" first six inches about 20,000 1 to 30.000 pounds of potash per acre. But in the condition in which nature stores it the potash cannot be taken up through the root system of the plants. The soil has to be so treatW ed, or something applied, that will render this element of plant food avail? able. This can be accomplished by the application of lime in proper quantities. It is also probable that the lime ^ used for agricultural purposes carries some potash, which will add to the amount of potash liberated from the a soil by the action of the lime upon the 3 soil. This is worth investigating, and we would suggest to farmers that they take the matter of using lime up with e the Clemson experts. They are in possession of sufficient expert knowledge to say whether or not the results obtained, in the matter of rendering potash in the soil available by the use of ^ lime, will warrant its application. r These specialists will also advise what quantity to use per acre. It will be '* impossible to secure a satisfactory e yield next year of any crop without a 1 balanced fertilizer, and a balanced fertilizer cannot be had without pott ash, either applied with the other fertilizer or liberated from the soil ite self.?Edgefield Advertiser. j PERSIMMON RECEIPTS Which York County People Will Likely Find Useful. j How many York county people know that the little old persimmon is one of the most valuable foods known and that many palatable dish?s can . be made from it? It is a fact that the persimmon tree on your place, the . fruit of which you consider only good . for hogs, 'possums, etc., will do much to adding to the supply of fruit for the winter if the trouble is taken to jv gather them. York county people from various a sections say that the persimmon' and locust crop is rather large this year, and if the receipts which are given below are followed, the persimmon can be converted into something real good to eat. One reason for the neglect of this fruit is the mistaken idea that persimmons are unfit to eat until they have been touched by frost. As a matter of fact much of the best fruit is lost each year because it ripens and falls to the ground where, not being touched by frost, it is left to mi Biifh npralmmnns as are not edi ble before frost comes are a late variety of the fruit and the reason that they pucker the mouth is because they have not yet ripened. In general the best fruit are those that ripen Just before the leaves fall. At the present time the most common use for the fruit in the persimmon belt, which extends from Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas westward through Missouri and Arkansas, is a food for hogs. It can, however, be made up into large number of very palatable products for human consumption. To be on the safe side it is well to add a half teaspoonful of baking soda to each cupful of persimmon pulp whenever the fruit is subjected to heat. This does away I with all risk of astringency, the quality in unripe persimmons which produces the well known puckering of the mouth. If the fruit is perfectly ripe this precaution is not necessary, but as there is always the possibility of some green fruit finding its way into the pulp it is usually advisable. The following recipes will be found simple and agreeable: Persimmon Bread. On cup of persimmon pulp, 1 cup of water, one-half teaspoonful of soda, yeast, shortening, flour to make a stiff dough. Set to rise, mold, and bake like other bread. Persimmon Crumpets. Take 1 pint of the sponge of persimmon bread which has been set over nigm, aaa one egg ?nu enuugn milk to make a thin batter, set to rise for one hour, then bake on a hot griddle like griddle cakes. Serve hot with butter or syrup. Persimmon Griddlecakes. One cup of persimmon pulp, 1 egg, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoonful of bakin powder, one-half teaspoonful of soda. Milk to make a thin batter. Bake and serve as above. Persimmon Cake. One cup of persimmon pulp, onehalf cup of sugar, 1 egg, cup of flour, 1 teaspoonful of baking powder, onehalf teaspoonful of soda. Butter the size of a walnut. Bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. For a soft pudding leave out the eggs. For a custard leave out the flour and the baking powder. Preserved Whole Persimmons. Put a thin layer of sugar In the bottom of a jar; then a layer of whole persimmons, then a layer of sugar; and so on until the Jar is full. The sugar will soon dissolve and form a syrup. Press the upper fruits under the syrup or add more syrup to the Jars. Seal and store until used. The syrup may be drained off and the fruits served like dates, which they will resemble very much in both appearance and flavor. Persimmon Ice Cream. Two cups of persimmon pulp, 1 cup of thick, sweet cream. Beat together thoroughly and freeze like ordinary ice cream. ine irun muai ue wiuroughly ripe and non-astringent. Persimmon Fudge. Two cups of persimmon pulp, 2 cups of sugar. Cook over a slow fire, stirring occasionally, until graining begins. Add 1 teaspoonful of baking soda and stir over the fire until quite stiff. Spread on buttered platter or paraffin paper. MIXING POLITICS AND COTTON Editor Would Give State Warehouse System a Chance. It is a pity?a great pity?that every movement somebody starts for the farmers' good is suspected of being a well-laid scheme to land some designing politician in office. The Farmers' Alliance was a good movement. Its authors meant well and no doubt it would have saved the farmers thousands of dollars if somebody had not raised the cry of "politics." Now it seems that a deliberate attempt is being made to slaughter the alnto tt-nrphnnsp svstem with the same weapon that was used with such fatal effect against the Farmers' Alliance movement. Even before he was appointed commissioner there were mild insinuations that John L. McLaurin was building up a huge political machine that would send him back to the United States senate. However, Mr. McLaurin has served three years as commissioner iMpr Red 15 jw Horse andMuli It's something the horses ai appetite?starts the saliva Far superior to an all grain mules a treat, and at the saint mm Our RED SHIRT (first grade) contains Corn, Oats, Ground Al fl/K; and pure cane molasses, and ana ZlSH Protein 10%; Fat 3%; Fit | PIEDMONT HORSE 4 MULE MOLASSl <\ 12%; Carbohydrate! 65%. gSff AMP FOX HORSE&MHLE MOLASSES FE I PERFECTION HORSE 4 MULE FEED IP? ?

Covert attacks have been made on the state warehouse system through McLaurin, and since Governor Manning has anounced that he will assist Commissioner McLaurin to make the system stronger and more perfect these attacks have grown in intensity. The Herald is not defending McLaurin, but it does feel called upon to defend the state warehouse system from these attacks which are calculated to prejudice the public against the movement for a warehouse system that will guarantee the farmer a greater measure of protection. We are for the farmer first, last and all the time because we sincerely be lleve that of all the industries of the country that need the support of the press that of agriculture needs it most. It Is the basis of all wealth and to fight any movement that will help the farmers is to strike a blow at the very industry on which this country depends for its prosperity. The fact that McLaurin, Blease, Smith, Jones, Brown or any other person you care to name Is representing South Carolina in the United States senate does not mean half as much to us as an advance of 20 points in the price of cotton. The fact that either of these gentlemen is representing South Carolina in the United States senate is not going to add to or take from the wealth of any South Carolina farmer as much as a shilling. But on the other hand, if Commissioner McLaurin can perfect a state warehouse system that will standardize grades and make the farmer independent of the cotton speculator and exporter he will have done more for his people than any public man has done in half a century, and if the people want to reward him by sending him to the senate he will not do us any more harm or any more good up there than any other man we could send. But let's don't mix the state warehouse system with politics. So far as wo can see there is no connection between the two. We don't care a razzle-dazzle what McLaurin's intentions are Just so he succeeds in making the state warehouse system what it ought to be. Or, in other words, the time has come for we South Carolinians?those of us who want to keep up with the procession?to reverse the time-honored principle that If business interferes with politics, cut out the business.?Dillon Herald. British Restraint of Trade. Facts and documents recently printed by the New York World show that Great Britain is carrying her German blockade into America. Not content even with holding up illegally American cargoes destined to neutral countries, she is seeking to control our exports at their source. It appears from documentary evidence that England is wielding a club over our manufacturers. She forbids them to sell to any foreign purchaser outside of England, France and Russia, or to sell to any American purchaser who might do so. This remarkable embargo is enforced through England's control of raw materials. We need crude rubber, tin, wool, ferro-maganesia and other materials in manufactures that make up a great bulk of our prerent export trade. And the British government through its trade representatives sees to it that the American manufacturer canot buy the things he needs unless he signs an agreement . giving British buyers a monopoly of j all his output not consumed here at home. When it comes to cotton, the same result is said to be accomplished by a blacklist. Americans with cotton to ? I sell are obliged to sign similar agreements to sell to nobody but citizens of the allied countries. If they refuse, no cotton is bought from them by the British, French or Russians. There are two ugly phases of this business. One is the extension to American soil of a blockade that ought to be confined to German ports. The other is the forcible limitation by the British government of American export trade for the benefit of British exporters. Whether the latter is international or not, the system worxs, in practice, to the advantage of British commerce, at the cost of our own. Both phases of the matter represent gross abuse of Britain's sea power. We do not allow our own corpora- tions to restrain trade in any such ways.
