Importance of Protection from Exposure Is Stressed. Washington,D C, November 16:? It is very important,according to the specialists of the U S Department of Agriculture, that all cotton that is not marketed when ginned should be stored or placed in a position wharA if. will he Drotected from in jury by moisture. Where cotton is exposed to rain it is subject to serious injury; and where it is sheltered but left in contact with the wet ground it is likely to become seriously damaged. It is frequently the case that people do not realize the amount of damage that is done. In many instances cotton appears from the outside of the bale to be in fairly good condition when it is badly injured inside, due to the fact that moisture has been allowed to penetrate the bale, thus causing mildew. It is not unusual, according to the department's data.for cotton to suffer a loss of from $3 to $5 per bale as a result of unnecessary exposure. At all times it should be kept off the ground and properly sheltered. Where it is impossible to place it in a warehouse it should be protected by a dry shed, or it may be placed on poles or timbers which will keep it several inches from the ground, and covered with tarpaulins. Pro tected in this way, it can be held for six months or even a year with very little damage. In some sections the farmers and business men have organized companies for the purpose of constructing warehouses in order to protect the cotton. This, the investigators believe, is a move in the right direction, and every community should take this precaution where the warehouses now available are not ample for the protection of the cotton jcrop. They point out, however, that many of these communities are -making a serious mistake in constructing cheap warehouses. It has -been conclusively shown that there <is an annual loss of several million kdatfars in the cost of insurance. This i loss is brought about primarily by the construction of cheAp warehouses. The rate of insurance on vrthese cheap structures ranges from 2 per cent to 4 per cent ner annum, while it is possible to inwre cotton .in the standard warehouse at 4 of 1 *per cent per annum. The cheap structures last a comparatively few years and cost almost as much as the standard warehouse. The saving in insurance will pay for the difference in cost of the warehouse in a very short time. While it is better to construct inexpensive warehouses than it is to allow the cotton to be damaged.it is much better and even cheaper,in the long run, to construct standard warehouses. BOOKER WASHINGTON DEAD. Negro Educator Passes Away at, Tuskegee. Tuskeegee, Ala, November 14:?j Booker T Washington, negro educator, lecturer, author and recognized leader of hi3 race in America, died at his home here early today four hours after his arrival rrom i\ew York. Washington had not been in good health for several months and suffered a nervous breakdown in New ; York last week. He had gone there I to attend the annual meeting of the I Amerean Missionary association and jthe National Conference of Congregational churches. He did not respond to treatment at a hospital in New York and decided to come back home. He had often said that his work had been among Southern negroes, that he was a Southern negro and that it was his wish to live, die and be buried in the South. He left New York Friday afternoon. The trip seemed to sap his remaining energy, and he died Quickly soon after his removal to his home. By his writings, lectures and activities in building up Tuskeegee Institute Dr Washington for the past twenty-five years had commanded the attention and confidence of leading men in many walks of life South and North. It has been said that his ideas of bettering the negro ^ace more nearly fit sentiment expressed in different parts of the country than those of any other man interested in such work. ^ m 9 Thanksgiving and the Orphan.

There are many people who believe they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really is due to a constipated condition. Bloat, with its attendant mental depression, sick-headache, the belching of sour stomach gases, etc, are frequently due to inaction of the bowels. Relieve the congestion and the trouble usually disappears. The use of cathartics and purgatives should be avoided, however; these shock the system unnecessarily and, | ! at best, their effect is but tempoj rary. A mild laxative is far preferj able. I The compound of simple laxative 1 herbs known as Dr Caldwell's Syrup | Pepsin and sold in drug stores for i fifty cents a bottle, is highly recommended. Mr Benj Bassin, 260 Madiison St, Gary, Ind, thinks Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a wonderful medicine; for four years he had a severe case of indigestion and constipation before trying Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which he is glad to Wilson, Joe Bessie McElveen, Effie and Etta Stewart, Willa, Addie and Annie Williamson, Etna Camlin, Thelma Marshall, Docia Sexton. Red Cross Seal Commission. The work of the Red Cross Seal Pnmmiaairtn nf Snnfh f.nrnlinn Vina been so successful so far that an additional order for 100,000 seals has been wired to headquarters. Already 400,000 seals have been received at the commission's office in Columbia, and by Thanksgiving will be shipped out to towns throughout the State and placed on sale from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Up to date one hundred and thirty-six public-spirited persons have volunteered their seryices in placing the seals on sale in their respective towns. Columbia has given an order for 150,000 seals and hopes to make no less than a thousarid dollars by this means for anti-tuberculosis work in the city. The agent for Kingstree is Mrs LeRoy Lee and by the end of next week will have the seals on sale at the leading stores of the town. All persons interested in the movement for stamping out tuberculosis in our State will then have an opportunity to assist in this work by purchasing Red Cross Christmas Seals. Other places in Williamsbuigcoun- j ty where the seals will be sold are: GreeJyville.Dr W S Boyd, agent; Sal-1 ters Depot,MissMB Hey ward, agent; and Trio, Miss Jane W Ervin, agent. Notes from Nesmltli. Nesmith, November 15: ?Most of the farmers in this section are busy digging potatoes and planting oats and wheat. Some of the farmers in this section are still holding their cotton on account of the sudden fall in price. Many others, however, sold while it | was at the top notch. A number of our young people are attending the revival meeting at Andrews this week. Misses Ethel Seybt and Lena Haddock and Messrs Graham Haddock and Paul McElveen spent Sunday at Mr J E Johnson's. Miss Hessie McCollough and her father spent the week-end at Nesmith with Mr W M McCollough. Rev Mr Carter of Pleasant Hill was noted in this section one day last week looking after a revival to be held at Black Mingo next week, beginning Thursday night. Mr McLain.who recently purchased Mr Vibert Graham's place, is expected to arriye in our community shortly. We shall extend him a heartv welcome and hope for him great success. Mr Thomas Mobley, who has been in North Carolina for the past four years, has returned home. The young boys around here seem to be having much fuh these nights opossum and fox hunting.

Fut your gratitude to tne prooi. Send to the orphanage of your church, your thank-offering. Presbyterian people in the States of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida will remember that they are united in supporting the Thornwell orphanage, Clinton,S C,which is the property of those three synods. The children are all orphans, some three hundred in number. There are 17 cottage homes, each occupied by some 15 to 25 children, with a good, motherly woman in charge. The children are regularly in school for forty weeks each year,and are taught some trade or occupation by which they can earn an honest living. Usually they leave the home at the age of 16 to 18, unless an earlier discharge is found advisable. Their support depends upon.gifts of good men and women. Especially at Thanksgiving times they ought to be remembered. There are 180 children from South Carolina, 70 from Georgia and 28 from Florida. The rest came from seven other States. Contributions should be sent simply to Thornwell orphanage, Clinton, S C. Checks and postoffice orders should be sent to the same address.
