Secretary of State Hughes ; Minister to England Harv? Hon. Charles E. Hughes, secre ?of state, speaking at the alumni ner of Brown University, Provide R. I., Wednesday night, made statement: "It was America, the emplar of free institutions, aiding manity in their preservation, called for the supreme endeav . Later, during his address he s "Our men did not go forth to f for thi3 nation as one of imperil tic designs and cunning purpose to protect a land where avarice m: find its surest reward. They offe their lives, an dall the energies the country were harnessed in the preme effort, because we loved the stitutions of liberty and intended maintain them, because we hated ranny and the brutality and ruthi . ness which found expression in worship of force, and because found our fate linked with that the free peoples who were struggl for the preservation of the essent: of freedom. "With them we made comn cause, and, as from one end of country to the other rang appeals the name of civilization itself, 1 whole nation responded.. You cam obtain such a unity of effort in t country with voluntary sacrifice' every hand capping the most ext ordinary demands of government, i less that effort is inspired by loi ideals. "It was America the exemplar free institutions, aiding humanity their preservation that called foi the supreme endeavor. This sen ment is still with us, and, after a despite the need of correct analyi and cool judgment in working out o economic problems, it is the asp? tion of our people and their attac ment to the conceptions of a we ordered liberty Which constitute o security in peace as they proved he in the inexhaustible source of n tional power in war." There was no reference, naturall to the "too proud not to fight" utte anees of Harvey, at the Pilgrim di: ner, in London, recently, but the u terancees of the secretary of sta' were accepted as a matter of cour? as an answer to Harvey's remarkab address. It is taken that Secretary H?gh( knows more about our purpose in ei *? - tering the war and our duties grov ing out of the war than does Harve: The minister at St. James will we squirm when he reads the Hughe address in the* London papers.-Av gusta Chronicle. Why Not Make These Promise A good friend of ours in Los An geles, Ford Ashman Carpenter ,wh is ? .professor of meteorology, aero nautics and several other things lik that, knows that most of the trouble we have are troubles we think into existence ourselves. He suggests t< us, therefore, that for our own sake: we manifest in our daily lives durinj the coming year the wisdom express ed in the following by some unknowr writer: Promise yourself: - To be so strong that nothing car disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and pros perity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel thal there is something in them. To look at the sunny side ot" every thing and make your optimism come true. . To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. "To be just as enthusisatic about the success of others as,you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achieve ments of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living crea ture you meet a smile. . To give so much time to the im provement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. , To be too large for worry, too no ble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.-Builders, Published by Lockwood, Grene & Co.

Here and there throughout the South we read pf a cotton mill being erected. Where one is established there should be hundreds. Texas, the greatest cotton produc ing state in or out of the Union, has only about a "baker's dozen" of mills of limited capital whereas this infant empire of the Southwest should man ufacture the greater part of its cot ton production. Why is it that capital is so slow to seek investment in an industry which under fairly compe tent management always pays divi dends. The manufacture of cotton has bulit cities and enriched communities wherever it has iaken a foothold. The South offers natural induce ments and advantages for the manu facture of cotton which no other land far or near can even approximate and which are almost an unfailing guar anty of success beyond the fondest dreams .of avarice. Looked at from every angle there can only be promise and profit re flected from the proposition of cot ton manufacture in the South as light is reflected from every facet of a diamond. With a climate so mild and balmy, that work may be done nearly the whole year undei* comfortable condi tions; with the raw material bloom ing and maturing at the very doors of the factory and with the means of transportation accessible on every hand for ready freightage of the fin ished product to all markets-these and other favoring conditions make the South the logical, the ideal-yes the inevitable, seat and center of the coming cotton manufacturing, indus try on this hemisphere. < Slowly but surely the mills' are moving to the cotton fields of the South till even now Southern mills are consuming more cotton annually than all the mills of. the north put together.-Farm & Ranch. A New Plant Wizard, i Burbank has a rival in the person of Elwin D. Seaton, California's new "plant wizard." His latest and most remarkable production is one hundred and eighty eight stalks of wheat from a single garin. While these giant stalks cover ; considerably more territory than the former one stalk of wheat grown from a single grain he is neverthe less producing from seven to eight . times as much wheat per acre as has ever been produced before, and this on land where little wheat had ever ', grown. Seaton has made a life time study of the soil, subjecting it to micro scopic examinations to attain increas ed and better food production, and for the past seventeen year he has been conducting experiments on his ranch, which, by the way, is not so very far from that oth?r wizard, Lu ther Burbank. He has not confined his experi mens to wheat alone, but has had re markable success with barley, oats , and other grains, and with prunes and apples. Seaton's theory is that all plant growth and development is dependent primarily on the presence of soil bac teria. The secret of success he says is to maintain the "fife substance" of the soil by feeding and cultivating the bacteria it contains, and put the soil in proper condition to receive the seed before planting. He does this by using cover crops of clover, alfalfa and the like.-Augusta Chronicle. Co-Operative Marketing. Economic pressure has forced far mers into organized bodies for mar-? keting their products. From being Strictly producers they are rapidly becoming distributors as well.' In this they are meeting more or less oppo sition from men who have heretofore controlled distribution and who have large investments in equipment. These men have for years served both producers and consumers. Under the old system they performed necessary and valuable service. Today we can not get along without the so-called middlemen, but through co-operative maketing their numbers are very like ly to become less. Middlemen are not all dishonest, or all profiteers. As a matter of fact, they will probably average with any other class of business men, includ ing the producers .It is not because middlemen are considered dishonest as a class that farmers have made a start towards disposing of the ser vices of some of them, but because of the multiplicity of middlemen. The system of distribution, instead of be coming more simplified, has continued to grow more complex until farm products are passed through so many hands before reaching the consumer that there is nothing left for the pro ducer, while the consumer is forced to pay such high prices that consump tion is materially reduced. Shortening this road and securing a more equi table division of the proceeds is . the j object of the producers, and iii ?c^ complishing this many brokers, buy ers and other classes of middlemen will be forced to look for other jobs. Co-operative marketing has not j been such a failure as some are try ing to infer. Last year the returns to producers in Michigan were increased 2,080,000. In Mississippi farmers re ceived# a profit of $1,500,000 by pool ing products. Nebraska farmers han dled $100,000,000 of products co operatively and California $250,000, 000 worth. Reports coming in from all over the nation indicate success in the movement for more direct mar keting, and these reports come from both small and large organizations. True, there will be many failures, but the many successes will encour age producers to keep on trying un til a more perfect^ system is estab lished. The old system of passing a product from a local buyer to a larg er buyer and from him to a broker and from the broker to the whole saler and from him to a retailer and thence to the consumer has got tb go.-Farm & Ranch. Is it Worth While to be a Doctor? At a recent meeting of the Penn sylvania Medical Society held in Pitts- j burg, the question was brought up for discussion "Is the practice of j medicine worth while?" The Penn sylvania Medical Juornal says that the question was well answered by Dr. Spencer M. Free -of Dupois, Pa., who believes that the answer to the question depends entirely on a man's | ideal of life. What he says is worth anybody's reading and is a very comprehensive statement of the high ideals that con trol and influence the best of the medical profession. Dr, Free said: "If your ideas of life are money, ease, fame, the praise of your fellow men; if you want to have a good time, if you want to be in society, if you want to marry a woman and make her happy instead of uncom fortable and miserable-keep out of medicine. If you want to live the ?deal life, if you have that in your soul which fixes your eyes upon the stars, if you have in mind the great Man of Nazareth, than whom no greater has lived in the history of the world, who caught the inspiration of j the Golden Rule, who placed service j above self, who gave up his job and ?.-ndered through all of that cpun-| try teaching his ideals, who said to his disciples, 'if you would be the greatest of all be servant of all,' if | you have these ideals and do not care for the accumulation of money, do not . mind missing meals frequently, do not care what people say about you, then the practice of medicine is worth while. If you want a home you can not have it without some real woman. If you can find such a wo man, present the mattre fairly and squarely to her, tell her what she will have to endure at your hands, that j she must go through life without the silks and satins and furs of other women, that she must do without the social life and the many things that] are attractive to her. If she is then willing to stand with you and be a j helpmeet, marry her. There is no man on earth who stands so close to Almighty God as the honest doctor who has the inspiration of souls to heal as well as bodies to heal. Ours is a double office. People lie to every body but to the doctor, and some times to him, But we get nearer to the truth, we know more about the skeletons in closets and about the in ner history of the man, woman, and child in a family. We onght to know it is the secret of our heart, and that gives us power."-Augusta Chroni cle. Citation. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF EDGEF.IELD By W. T.
