What's the Wit The young mother-and many an old one, too-is often puzzled to know tho cause of her child's ill na ture. Tho loudness of its crying does not necessarily Indicate the seri ousness of its trouble, lt may hove nothing more the matter with it than a headache or a feeling of gcnerU dullness. It cannot, of course, de scribe its feelings, but as a prelimi nary measure you aro safe In trying a mild laxative. Nine times out of ten, you will find it is all the child needs, for its restlessness* and peevishness aro per haps due to oust ruction of the bow els, and once that has been reme died tho headache, tho sluggishness and the many other evidences of constipation and indigestion will quickly disappear. Don't give the little one salts, ca thartic pills or nasty waters, for these will act as purgatives, and they JONES AND ?LEASE PLEASED. Iliense Says Will Win Before People. Jones Claims Convention.

Controversy. (The following lettor was received and set in type last week, but lack of space made publication impossible lu our last Issue.-Ed. Courier.) End Track Team Controversy. We wish to say that ""Pluck" ls not tho young writer referred to by the Seneca correspondent. . Tho "young writer" is "An Observer," correspondent for Farm and Fac tory, and be bands the following to us. "Mother Seneca (mother of tho Seneca track team) is quite right in thinking tho readeis aro tired. Our part of tho controversy is on tho files ol Farm and Factory and open for inspection. Tho mild rejoind ers from her were nearly as mild as the bracing and health-giving mid November weather inst fall when the Seneca team decided not to meet us In the relay race. Both were ideal. "As to handling puro English so that 'there ls no possible way to misconstrue' wo frankly confess that we are sadly wanting here. Two stages wo never expeot. to reach in this life--ono sinless perfection, tho other English perfection. Our best grammarians and best equipped lawyers are not able to use English that can't ho misconstrued at times. We in their class fall here, and are glad to note the perfection of our contemporary. Richland has 'sages,' but Seneca goes us one better herein, having a correspondent who can uso 'pure English' in snob a way that there ls 'no possible way to miscon strue.' 'A blessed consummation devoutly to bo hoped for'." Since our bearded friends In West minster are calling us severely to task, a bearded man from Richland offers tho following reply: To "S." in Westminster wo wish to say that wo are pleased to know that Westminster school shows so many in the high school department -GS. That ls 17 per cen fro f her enrollment. Wo are prouder*to say that Richland school shows 25 per cont of her enrollment in high school department, so wo are not lacking here. That our comparison as to ages in track meet was a per fectly legitimate one-since both were in the s'1 me event, started side by side, judg jd by same judges-of course the 2 4-year-old beared man came out ahead of the 15-year-old, slender, discouraged boy-while the large audience looked on in disgust and sympathized with the boy. This is all over now, and by the next meet the "bearded men" will be cut out of county meet, ns they have been cut out of Piedmont and State meets already, and our boys will have a square deal and fair play, We re.'lice to know this ls so. We are ready and anxious to extend the band of welcome to every school boy in Oconco who can meet the require ments. The object of school ath letics, as we understand lt, ls to de velop ibo boys physical!} und mon-j tully and hold them in school al tho age ho-twi&i boyhood and manhood -j h.a impressionable age when ,s< many grovi hRil?foreut ai?d drop out j and .Iwar:' and aarioM in their tu-? turo .i V De y ?. Jo ped mop aire, hot j supposed to need all nus. Just nore our hundreds of boys in Oconco cry out for fair play and protection, and we cry, "(?ivo i s boys." Tho world needs boys, pure-minded, strong willed, well-developed, manly boys; but deliver us from boyish, boarded men-men who would roll back their scroll of years, and with their supe rior muscles snatch the laurels of victory from boyish fingers and gloat over their achievements, while our dear boys turn away, discouraged, unnerved and disappointed. "When I beeline ti man I put away child ish things." To that other "rooter correspond ent" from Westminster wo would say: " 'Tis the hit dog that hollers," and we must have struck a solar plexus blow, judging by the size ol bis holler. He reminded us of the wolf in thc Western mountains. At nightfall ho plants himself in a lonely spot and sols up a mixed and (hopped half howl, quarter growl, quarter whine, so fast and so mixed that one feels sure there aro a store of wolves together howling. But you find on investigation Hitit there is only one long, lank, thin, discontented, hungry wolf. .lust so this Westminster wolf has half howl ed, partly growled ?ind hugely whin ed about Richland, but to no pur pose; the jack rabbitt Is under age, out of sight and no chance to catch him, Sounds liko all of Westminster High School aro join i:ig in tile bowl. Investigation will provo it not so-only ono malcon tent, with nothing with him nor any thing back of or bobin.I him-not oven a shadow (of truth In his bowl.) Only ;i howl and nothing more. So wo leave bim alone, hoping that his howl won't freeze and choke him to death. As wo bid bim adieu we hand him a largo bottle filled with "tho milk of human kindness." and ii be win drink this wo will "watch him grow"-yes, grow kinder towards the rights and feedings ol' tlie other schools and school boys in tho Piedmont seid ion.

The Courier presenta herewith two? approved plana for practical rota tion of crops, Whereby tho greatest good may be accomplished with ro gard to soil conservation and in creased fertility. These plana aro furnished from tho United States De partment of Agriculture, and comet from the Simpson vi Ile Stat lou, South Carolina : Tho Three-Year Rotation. Ft reit Year-Cotton; winter cover of vetch and rye. Corn; peas or peanuts and peas. Grain; pens, vdeh and rye. Second Year-Corn; peas, or pea nuts and peas. Grain; peas, vetch and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye. Third Year-Grain; peas, vetch and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye; Corn; peas, peanuts V.nd peas. Two Year Rotation. First Year-Cotton; vetch and? rye. Corn; peas or peanuts and peas; or Grain; peas, vetch and rye Second Year-Corn, peas or pea nuts and peas; or grain; peas, vetch and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye. (Two-Year Rotation -Note: Ono ton green vetch turned supplies fer tility worth $3.52.) South Carolina has nearly six mil lion acres in cultivation, about half of which aro planted to cotton. If this is to be continued, the two-year rotation should be adopted. Those who prefer planting only a third of their acreage to cotton should adopt a three-year rotation. On an estimated average yield of .IO bushels corn, 50 bushels oats, a 500-pound bale of cotton and one ton pea hay per acre, and supposing win ier cover crops of vetch and rye to bo double disked and turned seven to ten days before planting in spring. Ibo rotation for three years shows a not gain of fortuity per year of $2.00 per acre. Tho rotation for two years shows a net gain of fer tility per year of ?(?2.95 per acre. It ls safe lo say that this not gain would increase from year to year until Hie yield would soon be dou bled. No man who now adopts either ot the above rotations need fear the much-dreaded boll weevil five to six years from 1912, when lt ts estimat ed that ll will reach South Carolina.
