Order Wire Fence and Posts ' at Once. County Agent A B. Carwile says he is now in position to take orders for wire fence and posts. The farm ers of the county are urged to get in touch with him at once. Whether you buy through him or not it will pay you to look over the prices he has -collected, since he has them from the large fence houses of the nation. A few days ago he remarked that he did not care where the farmer got his fencing, but he wanted everyone to be sure that he is getting the best quality of wire at a reasonable price. See' Mr. Carwile at once about "this matter. A Path to Inter-Racial Peace. Austin, Tex.-The St. John's Mis sionary Baptist Association, covering eleven Texas counties, has issued a statement warning their people against "preachers of disorder and race riot." They especially protest against a certain -type of Negro news papers published at the North, but with wide circulation in the South. These papers, the Association as serts, "magnify the wrongs and min imize the good" in inter-racial rela tions. They who "brandish before the eye incendiary articles at this time are enemies rather than friends of the race." The Association will ap proach other colored organizations on this basis and try to launch a na tion-wide campaign against propa gandists who would promote race antagonisms and in favor of a better understanding between the races. Such movement must win the ap proval of all thinking whites: but it will effect little without white backing and co-operation. If white people and newspapers will in like manner refuse to "magnify the wrongs and minimize the good" in Negro life, and will fr>wn down the kind of talk which makes for mutual distrust and bitterness, both sides of the double ipioblem may be met. Such a course will give the sane Ne gro leader, the backing they ur gently need, and will insure the ful fillment of . the Associations, proph ecy .that the races in the South "if left to themselves, will, in time, ad just all differences to the good cf all concerned." WHAT EDGEFIELD WANTS TO KNOW __ The Answer Is Found in the Statement of an Edgefield Resident. From week to week, from year to year, there have been appearing in these columns statements made by neighbors, which we have all read with great interest, and many of us with great profit. But what we want to know is, do they stand the great est test of all-the test of time? There is conclusive evidence on this point from an Edgefield man: IW. D. Dorn, Cedar Row, says: "I can endorse Doan's Kidney Pills for one box did me a great deal of good when I was bothered with my kid neys and bladder. The trouble has never returned so I can confirm all I have previously said* in favor of Doan's." (Statement given April 12, 1911) On February 7, 1918, Mr. Dorn said: "I have every reason to con tinue recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me of a bad case of kidney trouble some years ago." . Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Dorn had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Sore Head Among Chickens. During the past few weeks an epi demic of sore head has broken out among the Edgefield poultry plants. Clemson College says that sore head is usually caused by spores of a common mold, (aspergillus fumiga tus) that develops on old little, corn, food , etc. For treatment, give water turned pink by potassium permanga nate tablets. Once a week during the epidemic, physic the fowls with one half cupful of epsom salts. Spray the houses well with Bordeaux mix ture or lime-sulphur solution. Clean up the litter and anything that may produce mold. Dip the head of the diseased fowls in solution made by adding one tea spoonful of creolin to one pint of water twice daily. Get bulletin No. 16, "Poultry Culture in South Carolina" from your county or home demonstration agent. This will tell more fully how to treat this and other poultry diseases. Campaign for Fencing and Livestock in Edgefield County. During the ir.onth of October, County Agricultural Agent A. B. Carwile will conduct a county-wide campaign for more fencing and bet ter livestock throughout the county. This campaign will be completed by the first of November in order that the farmers may get at putting up this material before dead winter sets in. Below are given a few sugges tions why this campaign will be put before the farmers: 1. To fight the boll weevil our county must raise more livestock, hence the reason for bringing in good stock and for building more pastures and grazing plots. 2. Co-operative buying in car load lots will give a better quality of wire at a lower price and with more rea sonable promptness than otherwise. 3. A spirit of community pride will be developed in the communities that stock with pure breds and build the best pastures. 4. Development of the "do things together" spirit will be brought? about by working co-operatively in the communities. Only such a spirit will lead to prosperity and a good neighborhood. This campaign has been given a great deal of publicity and the news papers are still aiding to their best ability to aid the county agent to put this propersition before the farm ers. They now know that the agricul tural man is at work and are request ed to see him at the first opportunity in order to get these orders placed before the fall rush.
