DOGS AND DOGS. j I The Press and Banner defends dogs with more .spirit than judgment.' h v It is the "yaller dog" and the "worth-j ? less cur" The Observer is against.:v The Press and Banner apparently be-1 c lieves there "aint no sich animal."; " As a Newberrian once said about liquor: "There is no bad liquor; some P is good and some better"; so The Press and Banner would say about dogs. ! T Whenever a protest is made against the "yaller" dog, the sheep-killing dog, somebody rises up and proclaims 0 what a noble animal a dog is?all hydrophobia-spreading, egg-sucking ^ dogs apparently?and tells how he is "a friend to man"; so faithful, and J all that. 1 j ' There are many pretty things said ^ about dogs; which the right kind of ^ dog deserves. Even a worthless dog, . like some worthless folks, are "con-' | C stant" in their "devotion." Where jj was ever a lower scoundrel than Bill ^ Sykes, in Dickens' Oliver Twist??a - I ^ thief and murderer! His dog stuck to him through thick and thin. A dog will stick to a /han like Sykes? a to any low r.nd villianous character? ? with as much constancy and devotion tj as to the best man on earth, who tj treats him kindly. And yet one tj hears n^uch stuff like this: "Trust' w th.i man whom dogs and children' love." j d: Some like to quote Byron and say,| 0: " 'Tis sweet to hecr the watch-dog's u ] \ honest bark R draw near home." t< ' ? J maUnmo jr ueep-muucii u V.1W.? ? ? _ It is right pretty poetry too, but not much truth in it, for the watch- tl doy, usually the bull dog, is not ai given to much barking?he slips up tc on his victim and bites him without h: warning?and the victim is as often *! as not its owner's friend. s< There are dogs and dogs, and not aill of them are beings of devotion and honesty and love either. Manyj of them are worse than worthless | They have well-nigh ruined th? sheep industry in this state. They ti eat and destroy in one week more z< thon they are worth all their lives ir % And they are a constant menace to b - * on. the human race; ior, wiw IC VC1 OVIVU- | tists may say, there IS such a thing! tl as hydrophobia, as Newberry people e; have had cause to know; and one s< man or woman or child is worth more than all the "yaller" dogs and il "worthless" curs in forty counties, fi which are the kinds of dogs that vi . should be lawed out of existence, k And those kinds make up fully ninety a per cent of the dogs in this part of n the world.?Newberry Observer. w d A FENCING CAMPAIGN. tl ? r Clemson College, August 22.?A: wise man or wisely directed corpor-|b j ation during periods of prosperity, b will make investments in permanent, improvements which later help to' S nvpr nerinds of deDression. The same principle holds good in farm-; is ing, says Acting Director of Exten- b sion D. W. Watkins. This is the logi-'w cal time to invest money in needed; x permanent improvements on the S farms of South Carolina, because, while there are some farmers who1are not prosperous, the majority are ? more prosperous than they have' w been in recent years. rc In addition to such improvements as home water and farm lighting systems, one of the great-; est needs is for more wire fencing, j g There has been without doubt aja: ( ;rc\ving interest in livestock produc-. iorj for several years past. Statis-j )C5 show this to be true. The! .''cTTnty Agricultural Agents and Live' ' ock Specialists have assisted in the' narketing of forty-one cooperative1 arloads of hogs since the first of p.'iuary. The business of pork pro-' luction is sure to grow. The advent' >: the boll weevil will increase tnei traduction of all kinds of live stock.' tfore fencing; is necessary if we ex-j ret to engage seriously in livestock iroduction. Mr. V. W. Lewis, Field Leader in ,ive Stock Extension, who first sug:ested a campaign to increase the1 imount of' land under fence is se-j uring wholesale price lists on wire' rom various manufacturers and; rith other specialists is working out I phi by which large quantities of; ,*:re may be purchased cooperatively! y farmers with the assistance of' 'ounty Agents. Mr. H. W. Barre,! )irector of the Experiment Station,! preparing an Extension circular on: he creasoting of fence posts, and: his circular will^ be available in the j ear future. When this matter is arranged it is | elieved that County Agents andj pecialists may render valuable ser-| ice to farmers by encouraging the ooperative purchase of wire in car>ts and by giving instructions and' emonstrS-tions in creasoting fence j osts. About the "Seceder." ' T-, Ti? _r mu_ . 0 me JCiClltOr UI .liie uuumai. On the editorial page of August) 9th is found this language "Anther fine site for a great apartment ouse has been discovered on East [ain street directly opposite the eceder Church." The object of the riter in calling attention to the ' ove sentence is not in the least to iscourage or combat the idea of the neness of said site for the purpose idicated by the able 'and esteemed ditor, but to keep the record straight i the History and Doctrines of our hurch the following statement Gears: "We are sometimes incorrectly illed 'Seceders', from an apprehen-i on that "Our Church is of European! rid not Of American organization. ire are conceived by some to be of le same body which broke off from le National Church of Scotland in le time of the Erskines in 1732, and hich was known as the Secession, r Associates. But when and where id the Associate Reformed Church riginate? She is the result of a nion between the Associates and the eformed Presbyterians or Covenants in 1782 in this country, and not i Scotland, as some suppose." The editor of The Journal wields le pen of "a ready writer," and I m richly repaid in reading his edi- J >rials. He inherited this gift from is father, who was one of the best nd most popular writers of the As>ciate Reformed Presbyterian. S. W. Haddon. Cocaine Whiskey. Analysis of whiskey captured in le home of an Abbeville county citi sn says Marshal C. J. Lyon ranges 1 color from clear, amber and rown to an indigo blue. Marshal Lyon is of the opinion , lat the whiskey seized contains coaine, and feels that such varieties of 3-called whiskey has been directly jsponsible for a number of deaths in nt sprtion. For some time the of-1 cers have been working on clues rhich led them to believe that whisey was being made near Abbeville, nd Tuesday morning a raid was lade on the home of John Lawton, a hite farmer. The result was that a istilling outfit and numerous botles of whiskey were taken by the avenue men. According to Marshal Lyon these ottles of whiskey when placed side y side resembled the rays of the ainbow, so great was the contrast.! ome of the stuff was of a clear color; nd of the same shade that whiskeyj ; supposed to be. Others were of a J rown, tobaccoisn tint, wnue tnerei ras an assortment of colors that re:mbled the opening of Parisian dry oods store. Small quantities of the 'hiskey have been brought to this ity and in all probability will be exmined by a chemist to determine hat they contain.?Greenville Piedlont. Mrs. Wilson Better.

Numerous requests continue to reach the Extension entomologists for instructions about transferring bees from box gums to frame hives. It is not recommended that transferring be done later than August 20. The assistance asked for in requeening can not be given to all be-' ?\,use there is a serious shortage of queens of guaranteed purity. Do-1 liveries are promised after August 15 to 20 but this is considered too late, for such hives may not have I sufficient time to build up for winter. I In transferring from standard 8- g frame hives, to standard 10-frame jl hives, carry over as much brood as S possible. Do not destroy brood and ft start on comb foundation. Brood |j may be transferred direct in the!H Tames, or it may be cut and proper- I iy tied into the new frames, or. it'H may be straightened in the old'Bj frames and transferred. This brood 0 is a great help in building up for.H the winter. is Write to the Extension Service fori j| Farmers' Bulletin No. 1012, "Pre-!* paring Bees For Outdoor Wintering. ^ SALT FOR HOGS. 1 Clemson College, Aug. 22.?There I? has been a great prejudice among hog feeders against the use of salt inlj? the ration, says D. W. Williams, of 3 the Extension Service animal hus- 8 bandry division. Many feeders be- a lieve that the results will be fatal if H a hog is allowed a liberal quantity of K salt. During the last few years this idea has been entirely disproved. 9 Feeding tests conducted at Belts- 9 ville, Md., at the Iowa Experiment rtmA of cfcjfinnC VlAVA D OiablVIl) CUJVt ai> VWtVi. OVMW*V>aW ..M. W shown beyond a doubt that the cheapest gains were made where the, salt was self-fed. Many feeders use salt in a mineral mixture, with charcoal, woorl ashes, lime and copperas.i However, the quantity of salt in this mixture is usually not sufficient, and; feeders would do well to feed salt ina box by itself where it would al-J ways be available. There is some danger in feeding salt in large quan-, tities when the animals are not ac-j customed to it. The amount fed; should be small at first and gradually i v increased so that there will be no ^ danger of the hogs overeating on this1 ^ feed. ' j ^ ! s William Lyon Back From France. I William H. Lyon, the fourth sonof Marshal C. J. Lyon to return from ^ service overseas, arrived in Green-' ^ ville Friday morning after more than| a year in France, Belgium and Ger- aE many. He left Brest on August ll|gp and without any hitoh in the bailing program was in Greenville eleven1 days later. i ^ Marshal Lyon furnished three sons^ in the 30th division, David Wardlaw, ^ Lyon, John U. Lyon and C. J. Lyon, Jr., having returned some months ago. Wardlaw Lyon was seriously wounded and is not yet fully recovered from his injuries. He wfcs one. w of the few Greenville men, if not thej only soldier from this city to receive a medal and an official citation from the British government, xnis was so given for gallantry in action on Oct- la' ober 12, 1918. ju John U.
