Region of High Winds.
Probably nowhere else does the
wind blow so hard and steadily as in
the Falkland islands. Tree growth is
practically impossible owing to this
peculiarity, and with such force does
the wind sweep that region at times ^
that potatoes and turnips have been k
known to be blown out of the ground.
Grass, however, grows luxuriantly.

nothing for me. I tried many kinds
of medicine but all all to no avail.
A friend told me about Dr. Kilmer's
Swanip-Root% and as I had .tried ta
everything else that I heard of, I \v<
bought a bottle of Swamp-Root ar
and it did wonders for me. I prixei
it higher than any other medicine!
and I shall recommend it to my ta

that after using Swamp-Root for two 0f

THE LANCASTER NE
FROM MR. J. W. TWITTY.
)ur Venerable Georgia Corrc
pondent Makes Interesting
Observations on a Variety
of Topis.
'o the Editor of The News:
Your Georgia correspondei
nee more has his pencil
and which he hopes to use, :
ar as may be, to the interest
our readers and first w* a
on fronted with sadness ir? tl
xtreme. Poor John Crawford
ragic death cannot be dwt
pon by a loving grandfathe
ut we are here to meet the i
Lies of life as they come to i
nd therefore we now join otl
rs in profoundest symnatt
ir the family?his dear wif
lother and sister. The mar
riends and sympathizers a
;nding the funeral attest tl
indly feeling of the common
j towards the bereaved,
ave every reason to belie^
lat John meant well and th?
will so turn out?that no or
in claim him a debtor. C
jurse we were greatly shod
1 when the wires brought tt
2ws of his death (without pa
culars) but we have conside
1 our duty in the premise
id that is to forget the thing
rnt are behind and press foi
ard to those things which ai
?fore, etc. Now so far as po;
ble let all the kindred an
iends fall in line and makd th
st sentiment their rule of a<
on.
We are having delightfi
eat her these days and some r
ir townsment (and farmers a
ell) are looking after thei
irdens. in fact some have
)od showing in that direct in
; thi^ time. I don't think
er saw turnips look as prop
:ng this season of the yea
d'ore. Sea Island cotton (on
lief, product in that line) i
orth 27c today and the plant
s in this section are hoping t
we an experiment station e.^
blished here thSis seasoi
fiat is the state undertakes t
irnish means to stimulate th
>st yields by using the bes
ed and fertilizers also hav
:perts to test the soil bes
lopted to its growth. Jn fac
thousand and one things er
v inot the work contemplate
r such a plant. 1 am not wel
formed on the subject but i
understood that such plant
ty well?that planters ar
isted as to the best mode o
iltivation, also as to the fei
izers their soil demands, et<
lere is no doubt as to th
ilitv of such agencies.
The fruits of the intempei
e use of liquor were so man
st at Elgin recently that ar
her strong argument is in th
nd for its legislation out c
le country. In this case th
'esence of a lady teache
akes the riot more repreher
ble. If a man had been i
large of the school such b<
ivior would have been ver
rong, but it was doubly s
nee one of our nice jrirls wa
charge. I have no doubt br
le young men are renentin:
the craze liquor led then, ir
i, and it is to be hoped tha
ich a manifestation will nc
llow in any communit
mceforth and forever.
My attention has been cal
I to the wonderful stride
the Raptist church in J>?ut
irolina in recent years. I
le town, comparatively smal
e church or congregation ha
100 members, pays the preach
$1,500 salary and furnishe
m a stenographer and type
iter and a splendid parsonag
le membership is in perfec
irmony. Re it known furthe

the best m-oachers in th

Rock Hill. That is moving u

her denominations to do likf
ise. I do not mean to envy o
ish the church less prosperit;
it I want them to save all the
n and others put their wor
rward too. While I write o
lurch, (Baptist) are asseir

Be it known that numbers
's- 'hie church buildings and choirs
do not mean religion and sal

r, services. Your readers will
s testify as to these things,
is Rev. Jno. Rice, formerly ol

i- seemed to work well. It did
1 away with guessing, rumors
re j and suspicions. I mention this
it because it is possible that othic
er conferences may favor the
H" 'nnovation and act upon it.
<- I presume your representaie;
tives are in their places among
r- the law makers of your state. 1
hope they will have a harmonis

I ii nas concerned me no little
d to think that American citizens
e will take nassage on belligerent
- -ops, in the war region, and
thereby involve the country in
d trouble. They do so notwith>f
standing the y are warned to
is the contrary.
ir It seems to me the policy of
0 the government, in such cases,
v hould be to offer no protection
1 to the sufferers. Senator Jones
v of Washington, denounced as
r unpatriotic American citizens
ir who imperilled the nation by
s taking passage on belligerent
t- vessels.
o All this trouble writing notes
by President Wilson, to foreign
i- nations, enngaged in war, has
o been uncalled for. It looked to
e the protection of our citizens
t who heedlessly and against ad
0 vice put themselves in danger,
t Of course my opinion weighs
t nothing, but I have a right to
i- express it.
I take it. that your town and
county as well, is moving for
ward along all lines. The
s: streets in the city are being
^ paved, a year ago they were al'
most impassable, and the chief
" road called by some, the
"king's high way," is being
e worked and kept in order. It
is a big undertaking to keep this
*- road in order. Its length and
1 -' condition, I know every foot of
>- it, tells me it is hard to keep it
e up. It would be hard to find a
>f worse road any where than it
e is between the court house and
r Waxhaw creek. It appears,
however, that some of your
n i leading men have the matter
, in hand and avow that the high
y way between Kershaw and
o Reala Sizer's place must be
is henceforth in good shape and
it of course it will be so.

ond race with Mr. Nicholls be1
fore. will again enter is not
" known. However, this race has
not been heard much of from
the visitors here from that district.
There is one factor which is
<roing to figure in the congressional
races next summer to a
large extent, and that is the
: matter of patronage. Some of
the incumbents have left many
irritations in certain parts of
their districts over postottice
appointments, and in some
places indications are that this
will have a large part to do with
the result at the ballot box as
far as those particular localities
are concerned
HILLY SUNDAY
ON PREPAREDNESS.
There may be doubts about
Hilly Sunday's theological mania
rs. and some persons even
question his financial methods,
but there is no doubt whatever
that he belongs absolutely and
without condition or mental
reservation of any kind to the
most aggressive branch of the
church militant. He is stirring
up Trenton. N. J., just now, and
is letting Trenton know with
picturesque frankness what he
thinks about everything. To
the saintly pacificators who
think it a deadly sin for a na"on
to hit back, we commend
his reply to a Trenton inquirer
who asked him during one of
the meetings Sunday if he was
for preparedness.

he yelled.
But the biggest hit was when
he pointed to one of the vivid
American flags draped from a
pine post and cried:
"In these days either be
merican or sail to Europe?
one of the two!"
This has not much to do with
religion as ordinarily taught,
we admit, but it is fine Americanism,
if not unexceptionable
orthodoxy. We think the government
might do a wise thing
to hire Billy Sunday to preach
up national preparedness. He
is a born fighter, and he talks
