In remitting checks or money orders oaks payable to THE COUNTY RECORD* Think Before You Plant The editor of this paper does not profess to be an authority on farming, but to our mind it would seem that the following of a few simple rules would result in more satisfactory results from the standpoint of the tiller of the soil. Produce enough of each article needed to subsist the family from year to year and feed the stock without having to go into the market to buy those articles at high prices. Let this l>e carefully figured out l>efore planting time and see that provision is made for quite enough of each article of diet. Keep enough hogs, cattle and poultry to supply all of the meat and eggs required during the year without having to buy at the end of the season. Instead of planting the surplus acreage to the time honored crops that yield small returns, study the market reports carefully and select crops that will produce well on the particular land in question and yet bring a high price in the city markets. Then put every available acre and all possible euergy into producing a large yield from those crops and sell in the city markets when prices are at high tide. To avoid wearing out the land rotate the crops, always selecting those articles that bring highest prices and yield the largest crops to the acre, thus producing the greatest financial returns. Study the different crops each season and devise ways and means of increasing the yield while at the same time reducing the cost of production. This is not a difficult proposition if a person goes at it scientifically and with a determination to succeed. When reports indicate that the country is going in heavily for one certain crop, let that crop alone and raise something else equally as productive of financial returns. The farmer who is long on a short crop has a small gold mine. Don't be afraid to try something new. Others all over this country are becoming rich by getting in on the ground floor of a new and good thing. No Editors There! The editor of the Prison Mirror, published in the Minnesota State penitentiary, says: "Why is it that from the first inception of our paper up to the present time we have never had an editor to sojourn in our midst? Other professions have l>een well represented. Of preachers we have had enough to furnish, subsistence to an African chief for a year; of doctors, sufficient in number to depopulate a State; of lawyers, enough to establish a good sized colony in hades. But of editors?not one.'1 We have it on good authority that Cansler of Tirzah will again be a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. Superstition may restrain us from evil, when morals do net deter. # Opinion ol Experts. A press dispatch from Washington published in a number of papers says that "military experts in Washington are coming around to the opinion that Germany will eventually win in this war." The amazing performances of German armies in the field have brought about this change of opinion, it is stated. It may be observed that it is not stated who the experts are. The fact must be recognized that the German armies are performing amazing feats, but the English navy still rides the seas and Germany is locked as tight as can be from other countries. How long can her own resources hold out? Indefinitely? It is hard to believe she can continue much loncpr the struircle which has in volved practically every man. woman and child in the empire. While the Allies are apparently pimply holding: their own, to the disgust of some admirers, may that not be the very policy to which the leaders have committed the result of the war? "I nibble," it is reported that Gen Joffre said last winter and this may be the play to make for some time. Even our military experts are guessers and though a civilian's guess may not be worth as much as the practical soldier's, it is hard to believe that Germany will win.? Qreemoood Index. Cades Chronicles. Cades, November 8:?About 8 o'clock Saturday night while driving home in his wagon, a half mile from Cades, William Fulmore, a colored farmer,was attacked by an unknown white man who attempted to rob him. Fulmore had about $20 on his person and some groceries in his wagon which he had purchased here that afternoon. The would-be robber was armed with a revolver, and when the negro refused to hand over his money a scuffle ensued. The robber fired at Fulmore, who fell over in his wagon as if shot. The desperado ! then !shot Fulmore's mule through the throat. The negro esonnpd with his money and without injury save a few scratches received in his scuffle with the robber. The concert held at the school house Friday was carried out very successfully. The proceeds amounted to $50, which are for the benefit of the school.

Georgetown is trying to secure B F McLendon for an evangelistic campaign. McLendon is now conducting in Andrews one of the most successful reyivals that has ever been held in the eastern section of the State. Under his ministry this year there have been thousands of conversions and 1,602 accessions to the churches. Dozens of towns throughout the South are trying to secure his services for the coming year. His next meeting no doubt will be a tabernacle meeting in Orangeburg, where it is planned to erect a special building seating from three to four thousand people. This man's rhetoric is faulty,his language oftentimes incorrect, his manner unconventional, but he is attracting more people from all walks of life than any preacher in the South. Great crowds are coming out to hear McLendon every night, and among the converts are some of the most prominent men of Andrews. W 0 Henderson. Andrews, November 9. NEWSPAPER WINS CASE. Jury Returns Verdict for Spartanburg Paper. Spartanburg, November 4:?The ease of J A Foster against the Journal Publishing Company, a suit for $15,000 damages, was won by the newspaper in the court of common pleas here today, when the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the defendant company. The trial of the case has consumed the greater part of iwo days. Mr Foster, who is the i superintendent of a large fertilizer company, was the owner of a bull alleged to have gored to death a negro more than a year ago. Over an article published in the Journal touching the incident a head was written in which it was made to appear that the owner of the bull was a negro. The headline read, "Negro Says Hi9 Bull Not Vicious". The body of the article referred to "Mr" | Foster and spoke of Mr Foster's "ne! gro servants". The suit wa9 brought on the ground that Mr Foster had j been called a negro and had suffered : ! humiliation. I A Hint to Moth< of Grc A Mild Laxative at Regular Intervals' Will Prevent Constipation.

( The Italian liner, Ancona, has been j sunk by a large submarine flying the g Austrian colors. She carried 422 passengers and sixty in the crew. I Two hundred and seventy survivors, < some of them wounded, have been ^ landed at Bizerta. ( News of the sinking of the Anco- i na has caused considerable anxiety \ in official circles at Washington, as t the incident is regarded as fore- g shadowing a new controversy be- t tween the United States and Austria similar to the critical dispute with ] Germany which followed the torpedoing of the Lusitania. Before making any comment, however, officials j 1 are awaiting information upon two t points?whether the vessel was tor- ' < pedoed without warning and wheth-! \ er any Americans were among the; i victims. 11 The Ancona sailed from New York! 1 for Naples October 17. She had on t board 1,245 Italian reservists and a c general cargo. She arrived at Naples i October 29 and was due to sail for ; i New York November 9. j< LATER.
