'he report says: The sowing of wheat in South Car la during this fall has been diffi i. to accomplish, for in a grea' ay sections the people had almos gotten how to plant wheat. How r, overcoming all of the obstancles may be safely said that 300,00< es have been seeded to wheat.

In Georgfa ut the same acreage as that sowr South Carolina has been planted the percentage of increase is onlj per cent. It fs a noteworthy fact that whea South Carolina in 1914 was wortl 10 a bushel to the producer at th< m, which was a higher price thai vailed in any other state in th< [on, the next highest price beinf 57 per bushel, paid in Alabama 3 farmer also got a high price foi s, 68 cents a bushel, higher pricei Qg paid only In Georgia and Flori In Florida alone did rye brin* ilgher price to the producer, $1.3! bushel being the price in Soutl "olina.

The chief issue in the campaign last sum, mer, aside from that of removing conditions that make for lawlessness in the state, was that of compulsory school attendance. It is confidently expected that the legislature will pass in 1915 a law requiring he attendance |1; of children o nthe public schools. The overshadowing importance of a compulsory school attendance law can be seen when South Carolina's place in ; the literacy list of states is taken pi Into consideration. North Carolina c< alone prevents Sputh Carolina, from 111 standing last in literacy. Richard I. Manning, governor-elect, , will be. inaugurated on January 19, f one week after the general assembly a convenes. It is expected that an over- f? whelming majority of both the house 40 and senate will be in sympathy with c* the policies he outlines in his inaugural message to the general as- of i sembly. Mr. Manning on the ntump - last summer championed compulsory t school attendance, advocating the si a passage of a law which would -permit p< the electors in each county to vote tl: on the question of compelling all chll- m dren between certain ages to attend oi - the school nearest their homed. ui Another matter that will prolrably T t -be undertaken by the general aiisem- ct t bly is the enactment Into law of the sr - ' a* TV^wmAMfU nai4v mn/iai* 1 UlCtS UA UIC i/vuivviauv pat vy imuuv* f which the last primary was held. I? tr ) 1b possible that the rules may be pi 5 changed in certain particulars before ti - they are introduced In the general as- m - sembly as a bill. ai 1 Medical inspection of children in ?E C- the public schools,, an important jc hygienic measure, which sessions of m the general assembly have passed in p( th? last two or three years only to cc see it vetoed, will be, taken up by the di next general assembly. VIts enact- BI ment iiit<\ Ilw is predicted: a] It is possible that a rural credits bill intended to'permit landless Urn- ^ 'ants to acquire farms may be pre- pi sented. \ , The matter of the adjustment of taxation on a more equitable basin, a e, subject which has bfe.en discussed with C( more or less diffidencfc by the laBt half dozen general assembles, will proba- w bly be taken up by the next session. Mr. Manning in his published plat- _ form said: "I shall advocate such j? changes' in assessment and taxation as shall more farily distribute the burdens of taxation and make more w equal assessments, and with the ex- w emptions of small homes in towns. - and small farms of limited acreage." j The general assembly will have to P' ) settle other matters of importance, i many of them growing out of the tl i economic conditions brought on the c( > state in common with the South at ? I large by the war in Europe. tl The advocates of prohibition Of the w sale of intoxicants have been carry- w ing on an active campaign during ti the last few months. They will atk hi ' the general assembly to pass a bill 1 ordering an election next fall on tie m } question of the adoption of a stata- w ' ^ wide prohibition law. The prohibition tl question when broached hitherto in ii 1 the general assembly has been pro ductlve of endless argument which a] t consumed much time. There are those ir ; who fear that the introduction of this O I question, which has been fought over ai f time and time again, will block rem- h< i edial legislation of which the state y< I stands badly in need.

This excess, however, in- 0, eludes an additional $1,000 in the 1914 deficit, which is $6,500. The principal j item of increase is seen in the contingent fund, wh^ch last year totaled w $17,043.75, and for which $25,000'. Is lt asked for the coming year.

I arranged ith the manufacturer to produce an , rticle, looking In every way to the arson who knew no better, like* the snuine article, but it wasn't. I produced what were practically junterfeits. I cheated the people ho bought those articles. Here's how I did ft. Take, for exnple, 9. tin cup, a tin pail or a tin Ij^te?in fact iiny article made of tin. I "would figure it out like this. In te first place we would uite tin of a >rtain less weight, thinner and not > good. Whore the top curls over te manufacturer formerly put a ire around, hidden from view, but it as there. Tills wire made the ar-t_ Tf niAnV/t afatid u oar lat game, too, in a certain clever lanner, because there's more than ae way cl! fooling you. I would create a fancy name for fake manufacturer. There wouli be > such concern. I would stamp 31ank Mfg. Co." or "Moon Mfg. Co." p some such fancy name, because I au kind of ashamed to have even y name stamped on some of the stuff sent out. I contracted for canned goods with anufacturers and would create brand fcmes. He would have a pretty, fanr label printed for us and I used all >rtB of devices to fool customers guess I must have sent out a lot of wiWo atnff in-thnop. runs, hut I made g money out of them and It was ofitable. I figured this way. Who In tha orld is. going to write a long letter id kick about a few cans of fipoiled jqchea, or corn, etc.? "It would bo emitted to pass without a kick. Buit did get some awful kicks at that, id 1 would send back Borne sweel; c rds in a nice letter and in the office rye a good laugh about it. Yes, the girls and men who work in ie correspondence department of my mcflm have almost as much fun over lq letters that you send in and in te answering of them, as if they were ttin.g in a theater hearing the jokea ' 1 I " ' .

(or sneering comments and *uughing jests. And one bf my nine-dollar-a-week clerks will turn to his stenographer and say. "Send this kicker form 13 letter." And the stenographer will take an imitation form letter, write your name at the top and stamp the name of one of the bosses as the Big nature, ana man 11 to you. rne leuer will* read something like this: Dear Friend: We are very sorry to note that you ar? displeased with your last"order. We cannot understand how such a mistake has occurred. We paid particular attention to the shipment of your order as we look upon you, as one of our most valued customers.

You will note that the letter would apply to anything, from the receipt of a can of decayed tomatoes to . a broken chair. It's all "hot air." These letters don't mean anything. The manner in which we avoided sending a duplicate of the same letter to you when you sent in the next kick, which we looked for and expected,' was in this way. We kept a big yellow envelope with ail of your letters and correspondence, ' Orders, etc., ,ln> it On the front of the letter was a memorandum of the form letters that had been sent you. For Instance, when your next kick was received the'correspondent. who vyould ,get your letter would look on the front of the envelope and seie that you had been sent form 13. t So he would reply to this new, kick with form 14, which would read something like this: Dear Friend: I have Just looked up your last order and find that in the absence of Mr. Blank (th?? hoes that signed. the other with a ' nibher stamp as proxy),, who. was un- . avoidably out of the city when your order came In, your order was filled, by a new, employee.

You must be flattered, you must be cajoled. You must be given all and any kinds of promises, but none of them will be kept. Your money is what we want. But I must try to ma^e you believe that you are a great friend, that I read your letters personally and answer them. ' Dear Friend?It's all hunk. For every letter sent you, full of flattery and insincere statements and lies, there are thousands of others all over the country who get exactly the same letters. HI guarantee that many of you who read these confessions by me have read letter after letter written by me and to which the name of some big boss was signed with a rubber stamp.

Called to Serve With the Colors. In view of the dearth of physicians in various parts of Germany as a result of the war, leaders of the Leipslg Physicians' association have appealed to the Prussian war ministry for a release of licensed physicians and medical students not yet licensed from their obligations to serve in the Landsturm. To this, according to the Vossiscbe Zeitung, the war minister, replied: "According to the existing laws, it is impossible to grant > a general order freeing all approved physicians and medical students not yet approved from their obligations to serve in the Landsturm, in so far as they are acting as substitutes for physicians already called to the colors. It seems to be imperative, first of all and as most important of all, to cover the needs of physicians in the army. "A release from military service can therfore be granted only as an exception in individual cases under conditions peculiar to certain towns or villages, which will be investigated as they arise, in cases where the release of a physician from liability of mill-* tary service is demanded absolutely by the needs of the inhabitants of such place." Shoes for Soldiers. & Rnldip.r's marchine efflciencv de pends not alone on the size or what is commonly called the "fit" of the shoe, but on its shape. It has been said that Dr. Herman Meyer was the first to formulate the theory that the gTeat toe must lie in such a position that its axis when carried backward shall pass through the center of the heel. The foot is a lever of the second class; the fulcrum is at the ball and great toe, and power at the heel, which is transmitted through the ten* do-Achilles from the calf muscles, and the weight, of the body, between. This lever is the prime factor in walking or marchiDg.
