Port Mill Times. The idea underlying the Hoy Scout movement is not military, says The New York Times. It is that o: character building, and to teach boys to do things for themselves. In v'ew i of the rgowth of the movement, it is strange that some misconceptions stil lexist about it. Its purpose is not to train soldiers, but to train citizens. The boys learn woodcraft and campcraft, but. above all, they are taught their duties to others, especially the duty of service; and they are trained | to perform this duty on their own in- ! itiative, and to know how to perform \ It. So highly has this initiative and thi sresourcefulneas been developed that on several occasions they have won national attention by it, as when the Boy Scouts in Washington held SENATOR P. L. HARDIN DIES IN HOSPITAL President Pro Tempore of the South Carolina Senate Passes Away After t>|>eration. Chester Special to The State, Dec. 18.?Senator Peter Lawrence Hardin, president pro tempore of the upper house of the state general assembly, died last night at a hospital in Baltimore at tho a??e of 58 years following a grave opt atiou Sunday i for an intestinal malady. The body ] will arrive tomorrow morning on j the Southeastern limited on the i Southern Railway at 7:15 o'clock and will be carried to his home near Bsacomville. The funeral services! will be held at noon and the burial will bo made in the Union A. It. P. church graveyard. The Rev. W. S. | Goodwin, his pastor, will officiate. Senator Hardin served in the low-j er house of the state legislature for j eight years r ".1 in the upper bouse j f^r 12 years. Last November he was ! elected for another four years. It | was in the senate, it is sade, that his | greatest work was done. Up to a few weeks ago he was chairman of the finance committee, but resigned on account of ill health. As chairman of this committee he made an enviable record and was instrumental in saving the state much money by careful and haxd work. He was the son of Peter Hardin, who married Miss Rebecca King, and was born near Baseomville. Senator Hardin was a steward in the Richburg M. E. church and was always an active and faithful mem- j ber. I. He spent has life as a farmer and ; was one of the county's most sue- ; J cessful planters. He leaves a large estate. Senator Hardin is survived by one < half-lster, M*-s. M. E. Bacstrom, lid lie full sister, Mrs. J. T. Marion. A special train over the L. & C. Railway will leave here Sunday ' a morning at 10:30 to convey the people from this section to the funeral. * MANY APPEALS.

The present live stock situation ?rought on by the European war md other causes will suggest to the nterpristng farmer in South Camilla t'ao advantage of in< ceasing hi ive stock production this winter, ligh prices for meat products will indoubtely prevail next spring wing to tho shortage of cattle in the ;rass belt which have gone into the eed lots this fall, the outbreak of oot and mouth diease in the beef roducnig states with the resulting measiness among the feeders in that ection, and the tremendous demand or food supplies which will undoubtedly come from the warring nations f Europe. These conditions offer opportuniies in Jive stock production for the loutli Carolina farmer, not only for i profltabe enterpise, but also for he permanent solution of some of lis knottiest, agricultural problems. Any activity which the farmer atempts should be in the natude of a ,radu il development and growth vith a view to producing enougn neat for home consumption and a imii.ll surplus, rather than plunging ng into it suddenly on a large scale, de should conserve the best breed'ng itock on the farm which may be ivailable, instead of consigning it to ho pork barrel or the butcher, and ihould procure a pure bred size of he proper type with which to grade 1(1 iim u?ru mini fionci, marKetaiile tuff is being produced. In th's nanner the farmer can gradually :ro\v into live stock production with i small outlay of money, and can uarket his surplus while high pr'ces re prevailing. Beef and pork can >e produced to advantage in South 'arolina and the times offer opporunities which should not be overooked. i'ork production especially is a irofitablo enterprse, yielding niaxinum returns in a short time, with . small outlay of capital. The deelopment of beef production on the arm should in all cases be accompanied with the establishment of peril anent pastures. Interest in the breeding of live to?k has developed very rapidly in South Carolina and in several counies live stock associations have been ormed for co-operation among mem>ers and for the discussion of live itock problems of common interest.
