In the struggle for equal pay with men for equal service rendered, the women are about to win all along the line. Director General McAdoo has issued an order directing that where women are in the employment of railroads they shall receive the same compensation as men who are doing the same class of work. . If this be done in the name of justice for women employed by railroads, why should it not apply to other enterprises or lines of business? In time it will come. Women will de mand it and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred what women per sistently demand they secure. Dairying in the South. It is doubtless somewhat inoppor tune or out of order to agitate after the-war constructive work of any kind, as the supreme need of the hour is a concentration of all our energy and all our forces upon winning the war. But as supplying nutritious food of any and every kind is part and parcel of our war-winning cam paign, it will be in order to urge greater attention to dairying in this section. The establishment of cream eries in different parts of the State and in adjoining States afford an outlet for dairy products that are not consumed locally . The establish ment of cheese factories also in sev eral sections of the State, under the direction of Clemson's extension work, should further stimulate dairy ing in South Carolina. We have been accustomed to be lieving that creameries and dairying on a considerable scale were profit able only in northern and western States. Such an impression is erro neous. Dairying can be made profit able in South Carolina. The record for the largest yield of milk and but ter by any cow south of the Mason and Dixon line was recently made by a cow that is owned by a dairy near Columbia. This cow produced 17,217 pounds of milk, with a yield of 866 pounds of butter-fat in 12 months. Much of the foodstuff that is used in the large dairies of the north and west is shipped from the cotton belt. Then, why should not the leading dairy type cows be brought or bred here and made profit able? It can bc done. For a time the war has eclipsed the boll weevil, but we rather suspect that after the smoke of battle shall have cleared away in Europe and our armies shall have returned victorious from the scene of the conflict, the farmers of this part, of the South will have another enemy to vanquish in the form of the pesky little weevil. In stead of our people fighting the en emy en masse, each individual will have to conduct the warfare alone, or as conditions upon the farm direct. Farmers who begin now to give in creased attention to stock raising, dairying, etc., will triumph in the struggle. Better begin now in a small way to diversify. increment of Fine Young Men. In response to Call No. 374 from .he Provost Marshall General, the .ocal board sent a fine body of young men to Camp Jackson Saturday morning. A's provided in the mobili zation regulations, the young men were ordered to report to the office of the local board Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock. The roll was called and the squad organized b*y placing Mr. B. F. Adams of Colliers in charge. After hearing appropriate remarks from the members of the board, the embryonic soldiers were given leave until Saturday morning at 6:15 when they assembled again to be entrained. A number of the young men were given permission to spend the night at home in Edgefieid or with rela tives residing near the town. Those who desired to stay at the hotel were provided for by the local board at the government's expense. Lieut. Bartlett, a very courteous young artillery officer from Camp Jaskson, arrived in Edgefieid Friday morning to receive the men' and ac company them to camp. At the station Saturday morning just before the men were entrained Hon. J. William Thurmond address ed the young men very briefly after the roll call. A large number of rel atives and friends gathered at the station to bid them good-bye. The incremnt which was sent out Saturday was composed of the fol lowing young men: James A. Timmerman. Homer Lee Bolton. L. J. Miller. Sloan M. Watson. W. G. Cothran. W. E. Prince. J. C. Corley. B. F. Adams. G. L. Miller. F. L. Rcarden. L. M. Ryan. C. H. Medlock. Jno. E. Agner. T. H. Burnett. J. E.

Mathews, one of Edge field County's oldest and most high jly respected residents, was called from life after a brief illness at three o'clock Sunday afternoon. In the death of Mr. Mathews the county loses a mdst^vvorthy and God fearing man. He was for fifty years a member of Sweetwater Bap tist church and for many years served j from her school at Greeleyville. I church, and for many years served ?as a deacon. He also had charge of ?all the graves at Sweetwater Church ?Yard, seeing that they were kept in 'order. His age was 83 years. From Sweetwater church will the funeral services be conducted at four o'cock this afternoon, Rev. W. C. Allen, pas tor of the North Augusta Baptist church officiating .The interment will be in the burying ground of the ?above church. The deceased was unmarried, and leaves as his nearest relatives, sever al nephews, some of whom reside in Edgefieid County, and others in oth er sections.-Augusta Chronicle. The editor of The Advertiser de sires to place a tribute upon the last resting place of this saintly man who for more than half a century has been a tower of strength to the Sweetwater church and community by his Godly walk and conversation. He was as guileless and as free from the contaminating influences of the world as any man we ever knew, being indeed a living apostle of Je sus Christ who was known and read of all men as an humble, consistent follower of his Lord. His devotion to every duty that was placed upon him by the*church and his unceasing attention to the cemetery near the church called forth the admiration and sincere "Well Done" of every body. We believe that he has entered upon that eternal rest that is provid ed for those who are faithful during their earthly sojourn. Loafing Negroes Unwilling to Accept Regular Work. The following from the Augusta Chronicle of Monday shows how dis gusted a northern man became with the loafing class of negroes, this be ing his first experience with them : H. G. Peterman, sales organizer for one of the big chain store con cerns of the country, with a branch in Auguste, is disgusted with the la bor situation, as applying to the worthless colored contingent of Au gusta. He has come from New York for a few days trying to get his lo cal situation in shipshape, so to speak, and among other things he advertised for a colored man, not afraid to work, stating that good sal aries would be paid. Thc advertisement in The Chron icle brought forth half a dozen appli cants for a "position" and Mr. Peter man recited the duties that would be ?xpected after advising them that the stipend would be satisfactory, but he wanted it understood he want ed a regular worker. One by one the applicants eased away until five were gone and only one lone man stood, apparently, steadfast. "Pm glad to see you sticking," said Mr. Peterman, "and I want to really thank you for sticking by." To his amazement the last of the applicants said: "Boss, you'se mistaken, I don't want the job." "Then what are you sitting down here for, waiting?" inquired Mr. Pe terman. "'Cause, boss, Pse jes' natu'ly ti red, and I wants to rest." While it was Mr. Petermah's first experience in such trying circum stances,, he at least made one of the applicants hustle for a short time getting out.
