The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, B.C. Published Every Wednesday by The Press and Banner Company w P Rradlev. President. Vice-PreBldent W. T. Walker, Secretary and Manager Wednesday, Aug. 14, 1912 Quarantine A^ainss I lie Hook worm. A new and rather interesting phase of the hookworm problem has come to the front in San Francisco. After the discovery of the wide prevalence of hookworm in the Sonth, California, too, was found badly afflicted with the per nicious Darasite. It was known to ex ist in the mines of that state, but re cently has been found prevalent among Porto Rican and oriental laborers who are mostly engaged in agricultural pur suits. Probably one-third to, perhaps, one-half of the immigrants coming from the Orient are infected with hookworm; an investigation during which 2,25-r> were examined revealed that 1,077 har bored the intestinal parasite. In San Francisco it has recently been discover ed that a number of laborers, chiefly from the West Indies, engaged in mar ket-gardening on a tract of land within the city limits, are afflicted with hook worm and, on account of the danger of transmitting the parasite by uncooked vegetables, the laborers have been quarantined and placed under treat ment, and the vegetables from these gardens will not be allowed to be sold in the markets until all evidence and danger of hookworm infection are eliminated. The usual route of the in fection is through the skin of the feet, but it is believed that uncooked vege tables carrying the- hookworm eggs or larvae might also be a source of infec tion. This phase of the question and the method of solving it are rather nov el, says The Journal of the American Medical Association. Doubtless simi lar .conditions obtain elsewhere, and the San Francisco plan will afford a precedent in meeting them. Dean Davenport's Analysis. Two measures embracing important issaes for the agricultural, industrial, financial and economic interests of the nation, are before Congress for consid eration. The Smith-Lever bill, report ed favorably by the full Committee on Agriculture of the House, simply con templates extension of agricultural college work to field demonstrations and individual application of the prin ciples of scientific farming. The Page bill provides mainly for vocational training in the schools and covers many innovations, also including in a less specific way the work embraced in the plan of the Smith-Lever bill. Both bills have been submitted to Engene Davenport, Director of the Illi nois Agricultural College and Experi ment Station, for analysis. A high au thority and impartial observer, Prof. Davenport's subjoined oomment and criticism are timely and valuable. "Both these bills aim to benefit ag riculture, but in ways that are very different both in their immediate re sults and in their final effects u:>on the educational policy of the country. Some of these differences are worth special mention at this time. , "The Smith-Lever bill is simple and direct. It aims at that form of exten sion work which teaches by the meth od of actual field demonstration. It assumes that the talking stage is past and the doing stage is here; and it provides for field demonstrations by a plan which will prevent the develop ment of a gigantic political machine such as is the inevitable consequence of some of the other plans proposed for aiding the farmer. This is avoided by placing the responsibility upon the state colleges of agriculture, where It belongs, and not upon federal bureaus, exposing me service 10 scnemmg pol iticians seeking federal positions. "The Page bill is open to the fol lowing serious criticisms: "1. The extension work is in the form of extension departments of the colleges, not of actual field demonstra tions. "2. This bill proposes a subsidy to induce existing high schools to add agriculture, trades and industries,and home economics, to their courses of study. The feature is a good one, but the amounts involved are so small as to be insignificant?about $400 per school for the introduction of these diverse subjects, all expensive. "3. When the contribution is so minute the federal control necessarily involved amounts to little else than pestiferous interference. This item should be ten or twenty times as large to be at all effective. "4. This bill is dangerous to the.pub lic-school system at another point in Hot i f nofo KlioK An on luuc it coiauuou\>o ail cuuicij OC])fti aic system of federally controlled indus trial schools of secondary grade in both city adl country and having no con nection with the public schools. Such schools must either duplicate the non industrial studies of the public schools or else offer inferior instruction. In the one case it is expensive, in the other it makes a cleavage between the J children of industrial people and those i of others; and in either case it is dan gerous to our democratic institutions as well as demoralizing to our school system. What is needed is not a new system of schools, but the completion of those already in existence by the addition of industrial departments. "5. The district agricultural high school herein provided (not fewer than 7 or more than 13 for a state like Illinois) covers a territory so large as to require ne cnnaren 10 leave home?this at an age (It t.> 16) ' at which,children should be at home i nights. Such schools are therefore 1 practically out of reach of the masses. 1 It will be said that such schools are for cider people, but when the high schools are equipped to ttach voca- 1 tional subjects we shall see fewer I children dropping out. and the class ' of young men and women lteed'ag i schooling at an age when they ought i to be at work will disappear. "6. The amounts devoted to these I district schools would far better be 1 devoted to the encouragement of con- i solidation among the small one-room country school, and the gradual up building of secondary S'.'Uoo!^ with de partments of agriculture and home economics, such schools being from f the first a part of the general public school system. "7. The district experiment station is unnecessary and a step backward in research work in agriculture. What is needed is local demonstration, not duplication of experiments. Research is not a matter of locality in most cases, and when it is the people of the Experiment Station should be free to go wherever the conditions are favor able for the experiment and leave when they get through. The bill fails to distinguish between research, which is costly and should be concentrated, and demonstration, which is .compara tively inexpensive and should be scattered. "8. In both district agricultural schools and experiment stations the states are called upon to carry the cost of real estate and buildings, and to pay the expense of aii non-techni cal instruction?an outlay that will check rather than develop the gen eral course of agricultural ?ducat:on. "Altogether, the Page bill aims well but its details are not well considered. It aims at too many things, and too many features will be found to work badly. It seems to be drawn to please diverse interests rather than to ac complish a set purpose, and should be divided. "Two, perhaps three, great advances are needed for agriculture: One is the form of extension work provided in ?)>? Rmith-L,ever bill: the other is the subsidization of existing secondary schools for industrial training, as Con gress a half century ago subsidized collegiate instruction in agriculture and mechanic arts. Experience has shown thit whatever was necessary in the beginning, it is not now neces sary to locate this instruction in sep arate institutions of collegiate grade; no more is it necessary in institutions of secondary grade. ?* Congress pass the Smith-Lev er bill and study further into the Page bill."

ARMY WORM DOES DAMAGE Has Da mazed Smith More Than Eight Million Dollars Already Washington, Aujr. 8.?More than $8,000. 000 damage was done to crops in the South last month by the army worm, according to unofficial estimates of the department of agriculture. Whether the season's second hreed of the insect* already appearing in South Car olinu, Alabama, Georgia and other States will increase this loss is of much concern to government experts. All the means afl the department's disj>osal are being used to aioet the emergency. lie ports to the department say the army worms, at wmie places half a foot deep on railroad tracks, have stopped trains. This loss is placed at $1,000,000 in Georgia while in Arkansas 20 per cent, of the corn and 10 per cent, of cotton planted have been de stroyed. Losses also have been great in Tennessee, the Caiolinus, Alabama, Missis sippi and Louisiana. In some of these, principally Louisiana, they exceed the mil lion mark. Corn, cotton, sugar cane aud rice crops from Louisiana to the Atlantic have been affected.

MEXICO PESSIMISTIC No Peace in SIrht?Another Side of the Ball Episode Mexico City, Aug. 11.?Official Mexi co appeared today to regard with much pessimism the outlook for peace in the Republic. Attempts probably will be made to reopen negotiations with Gen. Orozco, but it is generally believed that the rebel leader in the north will stubbornly resist overtures by the Government. He waa reported in a special telegram to El Diaro as having refused to meet Gen. Huerta at a point south of Juarez and there sur render, adding that he would lead his forces into the capital itself within a month. An echo to the charge made by the Mexican government that Senator Fall was responsible for the failure of Min ister Hernandez to bring about an agreement between the Government and Orozco, was contained In a spec ' 1 ->? ? TT* l r?? "CM Dot? lai uispaica iruin Cji rasu tu uti x aid today. It was charged that Senator Fall in El Paso has negotiated with rebels, not for the purpose of pre venting Orozco from entering the United States, but to keep the war go ing. It is reported that he represented a number of American bankers whose interests, it was alleged, would be favored by a continuance of the hos tilities. In this paper it also was as-; serted that the American Government had served notice on Mexiqo that peace' must be restored at an eafly date. No confirmation of this assertion could be secured. Robert W. Herter, Lawreuceville, Mo., who had been bothered with kidney trouble for two years, says: "I tried three diftVreut kindw of kid ney pills but with uo relief. My1 neighbor told me to use Foley Kiduey I Pills. I took three bottles of them, I and got a permanent cure. I recom-i mend them to everybody." McMur-j ray Drug Co. 1 :% (Political Advertisement.) SOMETHING ABOUT IRA B. JONES Kecord ?i' His Distinguished Public Services. EARLY STRUGGLES AS LAWTtK. Has " Made Good " as Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator, Judge Some Unjust Charges. It is right that the people of South Caro lina should know the fact about the candi dates in the race for Governor before the 27th of August "because no one can vote properly unless he votes intelligently and to vote intelligently one must know the record of the candidates. This article is written with the purpose of letting the people know more about Ira B. Jones. Few peopleknow that Judge Jones is a man of the people! He Is proud of the fact that in Newberry County, where he was born, there are still people living who remember that his father was a respected carpenter and his mother assisted her husband in the support of the family by sewing for the neighbors. AS STUDENT AND TOTING LAWYER. Almost frpm childhood Ira B. Jones looked at life seriously. His schoolmates remember that often in the afternoon when they wore at play he would go In early to study for his classes the next day, and they testify to the fact that he gave early promise of becoming an up right man and a useful citizen. By careful study and taking advantage of such meager opportunities as were of fered he obtained a fair education. Schools were not then what they are now and that is probably the reason why Judge Jones remembering his own difficulties and wishing to smooth the road for other poor boys, declared that as Governor "The Im arovement and Development of the Com mon Schools shall have my keen interest and hearty support." ' ? It wduld be easy to tell and might be interesting to hear bow young Jones hav ing gotten an education moved to Lau caster (Jounty ana oegan me pracuco u? law. How clients came slowly at first and how later having inspired the confidence of the people in his home town he acquired a large und baying practice. What we are chiefly interested in, however, is his political career. AS LEGISLATOR. In 1890 Ira B. Jones was elected to the Legislature from Lancaster County and it is evident that he was, widely krfown and that his ability hnd been recognized, for he w as at once made chairman of the Ways ami Means Committee of the House uifd was later elected its Speaker. These were stirring times, tor the great reform movement had just swept over South Carolina andjjai-ty spirit ran high. Sena tor Tillman, then Governor, was institut ing many needed reforms and Judge Jones, as Speaker of the House, did effi cient service, Be it said to his credit how ever, that although the whole state was aroused by political animosity, Judge Jones so conducted himself as to receive the hearty|applauso of friends and at the same time, by his fairness, lie won the respect and confidence of those who had been his political opponents. AS JUDGE. It came therefore, as a natural reward for service that in 1896 ho wuj6 elected As sociate Justice of the highest Court in the $tate. It may be mentioned In passing that his preseut opponent in the race for Governor seconded his nomination and voted for him for Associate Justice. Hav ing served -twelve,years as Associate Jus tice, in 1909, upon the retirement of Chief j Justice Pope, Judge Jones was elevatod to the position of Chief Justice, which. is the ; highest judicial position in the gift of the1 State. *' It may truthfully be said that no Judge in South Carolina in many years has en- j joyed a greater reputation both for ability and honesty than Ira B. Jones. The same industry and conscientious performance j of duty which was noticeable in him as a' young man have characterized his work as a judge. He has been the recipient of honors from his fellow men and the emoluments of j office, but the satisfaction of a hard day's I work well done has been his best reward, j Among the charges hurled at Judge Jones , by his political opponents is that he has j leaned toward corporations. Suffice it to | say that as attorney he never represented ! a corporation and as a Judge he repeated ly upheli large verdicts against the cor TYf\r?tinna Tn Mm ?>jtRe of lihodes aurainst ,, the Granby Cotton Mills of Columbia, ho upheld a verdict for *8,000.00 ill fuvor of Rhodes on the ground that there was evi dence that he had been unjustly discharg ed and blacklisted iby tho cotton mills. The verdicts which he sustained against the railroads would run up into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars, there being one verdict against the Southern Railway Company for $25,000 and many others for large amounts. He has never leaned either toward or against corporations, but his decisions and rulings have been what those of every Judge should be?just and fair to all. CHAKGKS UNJUST. As Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator, Judge and Chief Justice, Ira B. Jones has "made good." He has lived an ujSright inoial life; is a conscientious member of tho As sociated Reformed Presbyterian Church, is temperate in his habits, and has meas ured up to all the requirements of a true and useful man. It should be remember ed that this man who is now before the people in the race for Governor has never In his life been charged with anything un becoming the highest and l?est citizen un til his opponent brought charges against him. The absurdity of/these chargescan best be shown by the fact that Cole L. Blease himself voted for Judge Jones for United States Senator in 1909 with 6ucli meu as Frank B. Gary, LeGrand Walker, J. L. Coker and other high men. To try to make South Carolinians believe that j this man who has been their highest Judge | believes in social equality between the races is so evidently a trick to catch votes as to need no exi>osure. Ira B. Jones is no political experiment, and as a Governor, lie may bo counted on to give the people the same honest, faith ful and intelligent service which has al ways chaiacterized his work in their be half. * \ Oet your name on the Club Roll. ;. w . .... ; , * G* 4cck J&i &iMjbfeJb J$?. ^n^dlei^ic j&sQs&v -_ Ii you have remed the house, this will se sleepless, midnight floe A.
