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

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.

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

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.

REQUEENING AND J
TRANSFERRING I
Clemson College, August 22.?
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

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 ^
