The war is aiding the prohibition
workers very effectively,
and in this wav the South will
be benefitted, to some extent at
least. The amounyof liquor received
at the express office here
during the last thirty days is
about one-tenth of the amount
received for the same time last
year What prohibition law has
cut the consumption so much in
so short a time?
There is yet time to sow oats,
and every farmer should see to
it that he has plenty of oats, rye,
vetch and wheat on his farm.
When the people realize that
they can farm as easy and as
profitably in the winter as in the
summer, there will be no need
for special sessions of the legislature
to helpf?) the farmer with
his over production of cotton.
Have something growing on the
land all the time. The old idea
that two crops a year ruin land
has been downed and the fact
that two or more crops a year
are most profitable has been

The people called for help but
the legislature was too long in
starting to work. '
The bond issue bill proposing

lina bonds be issued to meet the
present cotton emergency failed
to be submitted to the people in
yesterday's election because the
governor failed to return the bill
to the legislature with his signa
lure. The bill was passed by
both houses and sent to the
governor for his signature Friday.
Under the constitution he
has the right to hold such acts in
his possession three days, at the
expiration of which time the act
becomes a law without the chief
executive's signature, provided
the legislature is still in session.
The governor refused to sign
the bill and neglected to veto it
ana return it to the legislature
where an eftort would have
been made to pass it over his
veto. The senate had tickets
printed and distributed to the
various counties ready to be
voted in the general election,
but as the governor could hold
the act in his possession until
last night the legislators saw that
it would be impossible to have
the matter submitted to the
people in the Tuesday s election
and voted to adjourn Tuesday
morning at 1:30 a.m. Thus the
most tar reaching bond issue bill
ever proposed in South Carolina
was killed*

Electric Current Continued Indefinitely

in Liquid Helium.
A discovery which seems to he the
cLjuivuifiii 01 pcrpuuiai moMon was
described by Professor Whitehead at
a meeting of the American Institute
' of Electrical Engineers held recently
in Detroit, Mich. He declared that
by subjecting a closed coil of lead
wire to practically absolute 7.ero temperature,
and starting a flow of electricity
therein by some external
means, Prof. Kamcrlingh Onnes of
Ijevden, Germany, has cucceeded in
maintaining a continuous current
without the expenditure of energy.
To obtain the extremely low temperature
necessary to make the exper lament
a success the coil was immersed
in liquid helium. The current was
started in tW wire by magnetic induction,
the fV>w of electricity persisting,
it is declared, for four and
one-half hours afVr the magnetic influence
was remove^. It wa6 stated
that if the experiment had not been
terminated when it wait the current

^Egypt has drainage problems as

the Egyptian government is

of shallow, brackish water m the extreme

door of Alexandria. About a million
acres of cultivable land will be reclaimed
by Hiis work, though not all
at the same time. Other drainage
projects of equal magnitude will be
taken up later.
Here, as in so many other cases,
the Anglo-Egyptian government is
following in the footsteps of the
more enlightened Pharaohs and
Ptolemies of ancient days. Lakes

STUDY TROPICAL AGRICULTURE.
The proposed College of Tropical
Agriculture, in Ceylon, will he one
of the most imposing institutions of
the kind in the world, and already
great strides have been made toward
its completion. The college is to occupy
40 acres on the left hank of the
Mahawell river, opposito the Itoyal
Botanic garden at I'eradeniya, at an
elevntion of 1,600 feet above sea
level. The main buildings, which
will cost $200,000, are to be arranged
similarly to those of the Cornell college
of agriculture, at Ithaca, N. Y.
The lectures will provide for two
groups of students. Men with degree's
in agrieulti re who wish to specialize
in tropical agriculture may
take a ono-year course, while courses
