II! UHtlltU M HI MM Pubilthad Weekly ABBEVILLE, 8. C. Being a philosopher with $1,000,000 in the bank is oar notion of a soft job. "The whale," says a naturalist, "will soon be extinct" But why blubber about it? Sometimes the exception proves the rule, but it is generally the unexpect ed which happens. A beauty doctor says that slapping the face Is good for the complexion. She may prefer freckles. A genius In California has succeed ed in developing a seedless tomato, but the odorless onion still lg afar off. Our notion of a true philosopher Is one who can take a calm and unruffled view of life while seated In a dentist's chair. A Maryland doctor says that cutting out the tonsils is a serious mistake, from the doctor's point of view, we presume. Some of the doctors Bay the adop Hon of the kilt would be more hygienic than trousers. Yes, but would it be as modest? * "Drink buttermilk and live long," Bays Prof. Metchnlkoff. But where ! the joy of living long if one must drink buttermilk? A vacation would be beneficial to a hard working mortal were It not for the fact that It takes two weeks to recover from it Kissing may be dangerous, as our physicians say, but a little danger now and then is relished by the best Ui iimn?iuju wuucu. ?V. TV '*>* ; The shah of Pers'Vs kitchen uten sils are valued at $25,000,000, and at thst well bet he can't find a bottle opener when be wants It A New Yorker Informs us that no body can be happy on less than $5,000 -a year. Verily, there Is a vast amount of unhappiness in this world. A Cleveland man has invented a steel car "strap" that will not carry germs. While he was at it, why didn't he invent a few seats instead? \ : " t The antl-kissing crusade may be all right in its way, but it strikes us that a gpeat deal depends on the age and pulchritude of the kissee. Cincinnati 1b proud of Its woman teacher In a vacation school who urn pires baseball games so fairly ,the ire of the bleachers is never aroused. Only the female mosquitoes prey on V human beings, and sometimes we are led to believe that the females out number the males by 1,000,000 to 2. Some people are born famous, some achieve fame, but a girl In Newport won the easy way by wearing an auto mobile veil floating five feet in the breeze. / ^ "Hobble skirts," says an Investi gator, "were worn in early Biblical days." Evidently one of the reasons for the destruction of Sodom and Go morrah. Once upon a time there lived a man who really enjoyed h!s vacation, but that was In the ancient days before the summer hotel had been inflicted on Humanity. mi The New York waiters who several weeks a^o organized a strike have ap plied to their former employers for work. They found a tlpleas world a cheerless one. Some day the art of farming may be so far advanced that humanity will be enabled to eat a blackberry, the substance of which Is less than 75 per cent, seeds. r Quoth a woman novelist: "It takes ? clever woman to keep out of matri mony." But if a mere man would keep out of wedlock he must be noth ing short of a genius. China Insists that if she borrows any money she must be allowed to spend it in her own way. If the lend ers do not like that they need not lend it. This seems reasonable. One of the courts has decided that a woman who steps off backward from a street car has no claim for damages. The wife of the judge who rendered the decision must be slim and ob servant. An exchange tells us that France is training eagles to attack aeroplanes. Far be it from us to contradict any body, but the man who invented that Btory has all the qualifications of a .successful fisherman. The conspiracy to oust the hobble by beginning with the pannier not having succeeded, it is now proposed to do the trick by having plaits in the hobble. They seem determined to make women use more cloth someway , or other. An attempt to raise a considerable fund of money for the New York teach er who accomplished the gigantic work of equalizing salaries in the schools, has failed lamentably. Post facto gratitude is the rarest thing known to modern science. A Chicago judge has announced that he will send to jail for six months every chauffeur who hits a pedestrian and doesn't stop. That's right It's only fair to give pedestrians a chance to bit back the man who hits them. A Pennsylvania minister has come frankly out in opposition to the pro posed coinage of one-half cent and three-cent pieces. He says the churches would suffer. The humor ously minded disclosed this probabil ity sometime ago, and the voice of w perience confirms the Jokers. UNION WILL WAIT FOR FINAL PLANS THE SCHEME FOR FINANCING THE COTTON CROP OF THE STATE WAS REFUSED. REPORT MADE BY COMMITTEE The Resolutions As Drawn Up Ask That the Farmers Act Indlvidaully Until the Warehouse System Is Enacted Into Law. Columbia.?The committee on mar keting and banking of the South Car olina State Farmers' Union has made report in which it Is recommended that the state union at this time "do no give its indorsement of the pro posed scheme of co-operation for mar keting and finnancing the cotton crop, that have been presented leaving each individual to act for himself until the plan for the state warehouse system is completed and enacted into law." The committee also recommended that each county follow the example of the Sumter county union of arrang ing with the local banks at once to furnish a sufficient capital at as low rate of interest as can be obtained and finance their cotton until such minimum price as shall be recom mended by the national convention is obtained. "We believe such cordial relations between the grower and the banks should be cultivated in every county as it will greatly aid the solution of this problem whatever final plan is adopted," says the report of the committee. The committee was ap pointed at the annual meeting of the state union held here several days ago. Robert W. Cooper is the chair man of the committee. At the annual meeting of the state farmers' union neia nere several days ago E. W. Dabbs of Sumter and president of the union, delivered his annual address, in which he pointed out the progress made during the year. Man Murdered at Belton. Will Grover, a negro laborer on the Greenville, Spartanburg & Ander son interurban railroad, was killed in his tent at Belton by his head being crushed with a rock. The person or persons who committed the murder is supposed to have done it for robbery, as it is alleged he had saved up some $40 or $50. His suit case, clothing and what money he had saved were carried away, by the party who com mitted the murder. Coroner J. E. Beasley empanelled a jury and after taking testimony from several wit nesses adjourned to meet in the near future for further testimony before a verdict will be rendered. Milton Taylor Dies of'Wounds. Word is received at Honea Path that Milton Taylor, who was shot by Fur man Bagwell at Friendship, three miles northeast of Honea Path, died in the hospital at Anderson, where he was taken. Bagwell, as has been told was being initiated in the order of the Woodmen of the World and be came excited over the display of fire arms being used in tho initiation, which were loaded with blank cart ridges. Breaking loose from his sur roundings, he ran to the wall where his coat was hanging, containing a loaded revolver, secured it and began firing at what hd thought was his enemies. Farmers Lose Valuable Cows. A number of citizens of Orangeburg county have lost valuable cows re cently and the causes of their deaths is well to note, in order that other losses may be prevented. Thos. D. A. Livingston of Bowman section lost two fine cows under circumstances that should be warning to others. Near the sack in which he kept his cow oats was a sack of nitrate of soda and the fumes or the water from the soda must have got in the oats. The cows ate the oats or some of it and died. Army Worm in Cherokee County. Farmers in Gaffney from all parts of the county report that the army worm has appeared and some say that it is playing havoc with their crops. J. A. Carroll, one of the best informed men on agricultural ques tions in the county, states that the worm has appeared on his plantation and that although it has not yet had time to do any serious damage, the pest is multiplying. Mr. Carroll has adopted the plan suggested by Clem son College and is fighting the worm with the arsenate of lead preparation. County Meeting at Timmosnville. Thirty-five candidates for the va rious county offices spoke to a large good natured crowd. There were no specially interesting features except that some of the candidates, especial lv thnsp for legislature. were aues tioned as to where they stood for Jones or Blease. J. C. Davis and Jas. D. Evans, candidates for the house, escaped the question. W. L. Bauldin, on being asked where he stood, said that he was for Ira B. Jones and gave as his reason that he was for a gov ernment by the people, for the people. ; Politics in Darlington County. The Democratic executive commit tee of the county has arranged for | placing money boxes at all of the vot ing precincts of the county, which are to be used for receiving contributions to the Woodrow Wilson fund. There is little doubt, but that this means will raise a great deal of money for the campaign expenses of the Demo cratic nominee. Already a subscrip tion of $5 has been made by a promi nent Darlingtonian, which is to be placed in the box at his voting pre cinct on the day of the election.

SOME REASONS ADVANCED* The Medical Association Shows the Advantages to Result From the Pro posed Legislation.?The Features of the Bill Were Explained. 'Colombia?The South Carolina Med teal Association, the legally authorized ? guardians of the public healbh of i South Carolina, desires to urge upon the voters, their earnest considerar c tion of the bill to provide for a sys- j tem of medical examination of school g children and students attending pub- ^ lie schools and colleges wjithin the t state. This Is a bill which the medi- , cal association has prepared with ^ great care after scrutinizing the law* } regulating the examination of chil- j dren in various states of the Ameri can union, as well as foreign countries and we believe that taking all things into consideration, is probably the T best bill to meet the conditions that e exist in this state. However, if any J one can suggest a better bill to meet the same conditions, we wish it dis- | tinctly understoood that we are not wedded to this particular one. A bill was passed by both the senate and house of representatives last session, but unfortunately was vetoed by the governor. The first question that one natural ly asks In regard to the matter is, whether conditions exist that warrant the passage of either this, or any oth er bill upon the same subject. Th? conditions certainly seem to exist ev erywhere else, as laws have been pass ed in nearly every civilzed state, mak ing such examinations compulsory. We^know that where these examina tions aie being conducted as Char leston, Columbia, Spartanburg, Sen eca and other places that form 60 to 70 per cent of the children examined are found to have more or less se rious defects. Prom data collected by the hookworm corps yhich is op erating in practically evfcry county in the state we are convinced that the figures already quoted for certain places in the state, very much under Mtlmatcii fho o <-in rt i 11 on s thut PTlflt In 4 the rural districts.

UNCLE SAM WARNS NATIONS OF WORLD * 9 BEHIND CLOSED DOOR8, SENATE REAFFIRMS THE MONROE DOCTRINE. THE POLICY IS SET FORTH The Lodge Resolution Arose From the Reported Attempt of a Japanese.

The United States : Senate issued a warning to the na tions of the world against encroach ment upon the Conlnents of North ana souia America. me uuuou States will not see "without grave con cern," said the Senate, any suitable 1 naval or military site pass into con trol of a foreign corporation, when i such possession "might threaten the 1 communications or the safety of the United States."
