Spartanburg, Sept. 30. ? William Montague Xieholls. second lieutenant in the British royal artillery, son of Judge and Mrs. George \V. Xieholls of this city, and brother of S. J. Xieholls, member-elect of congress from this M district, was killed at the front in France in the fighting that took place there between the English and German forces last Sunday and ."onday,, according to official announcement received here this morning from the British war office by members of his family. The following dispatch was received this morning by Judge Xic-holls: "London, England. Sept. '20.?Deeply i regret to inform you that Second Lieut, j W. M. Xicholls, R. F. A., was killed in | action between 26-27th September.: Lord Kitchener expresses sympathy." Lieut. Xicholls, who left for Eng-! land soon after the European war was declared, having resigned from the United States Xaval academy at Annapolis a year previous to become a member of his father's law firm here, spent several months in London before his service in the English army was accepted, but finally, after taking the oath of allegiance to England, secured a commission as second lieutenant in the royal artillery and was sent, to the front about a year aso. On March 21 he was wounded, being | shot through the thigh. This caused him to spend several months in a hos- j pital, but, recovering from that wound, he was again sent to the front, possibly three months ago. News of his death was not a surprise to members of his family here, since the dispatches of the last few days announcing the advance of the force; of the allies and France and Belgium caused them to realize that I ; Lieut. Xicholls was in the tnick of the j, ? ?t ligliUUg. Efforts will be made to have Lieut. Xicholls' body recovered and returned ' to this city for burial. Such a request has been sent to the. British war office by Judge Xicholls. The state department at Washington has been asked to aid. Montague Xicholls will be remembered in football circles as quarter- , back on Navy team of 1911. -p Doirts'* For Men iii the Forties.

In the following extract taken from a conversation between this man and his doctor appear some of the "don'ts" for men in the forties: "The things that I mustn't do or that 1 must limit myself in doing were nu merous. A lot of them had to do with diet. Hot breads, pie crust, fried tftings were utterly taboo. Meats and the allowable things, however, were to be eaten in moderation. I should have bu' two meals a day, preferably break- . fast and dinner. And if I got hungry in the meantime, I mast content myself with a little fruit. " 'It won't seem so satisfying at the moment,' he made clear, 'as a luncheon of the kind youV.-e been used to, but half an hour afterward you will not be hungry, and you'll feel a great deal better.' " 'No alcohol, you said?' I suggested. " "A single gass 01 Deer win noi matter, occasionally,' he directed. 'But no cock-tails, high-balls, or anything of that sort.'" "For breakfast I might have half a cup of coffee, and since I had been for years an almost constant smoker he would not take tobacco away altogether. Twelve cigarettes and one cigar, however, were where he drew the line. ** 'Moderation," he concluded, "is to be your watchword in everything. Real moderation.

The State. "That Little Contemptible Army" is the title of quite a stirring ballad of the present war which was composed by Judge < William Christie Benet, former South Carolinian and Columbian. Judge Benet wrote the words several months ago and the State printed them; subsequently lie composed the melody which was arranged by Goodwin Foster and published by a London music house, West & Co.., 24 Rathbone flace, uxrora street, i-?onaon. The verses have a good plain rhyme and the music, written in six-eight time, has a swing and a martial spirit that should make it popular as a marching tune for the allies: The verses run thus: \ The Kaiser ordered stout von Kluck: "You must beat the British by hook or crook; Their cock-sure airs I can not brook, That little contemptible army! Although they're led by General French Their martial zeal you will surely quench, In my royal nostrils they're a stench, That little contemptible army!" Von Kluck is. every inch a man, "I'll do," says he, "the best I can." With that a three weeks' fight began With that little contemptible army. To the Kaiser then he made report, "Unpleasant, sire, I'll make it short; For truth to tell we had poor sport With that litMp contemntible armv.

The owner of the place was nowhere in sight, but quite a company of the gardener's friends hung on the fence surrounding the lawn, intently watching every move. Another negro who was driving for a physician living in the comunity observed for a moment the row of spectators, then turning to the doctor, who was just getting into the buggy, he remarked solemnly: "Docta'n, de-re's somebody shorely dead at Mr. Jones' house." "Dead?" said the physician. "I think not, Tom, I should have heard of it if one of the family had been ill."

STACKHOUSE, HOW SOME FARMERS I .ABUSE THEIR WIVES j In the October American Magazine Stanley Johnson writes another article in his series entitled "Youth1 Leads the iWay," in which he shows i the progress that is being made on American farms bv tens of thousands ! of boys and girls who are organized into clubs under the direction of the ! department of agriculture. The need ; for regeneration on American farms is i demonstrated by the following letter j which Mr. Johnson quotes. It was j written by a New England woman and j is a more severe indictment of the j American farmer than, anything that j even our boys and girls have brought against him: "There is absolute monarchy on the farm, and if the monarch happens to be feeble-minded or degenerate, as is the case on some farms away back in the country places, the subjects have to suffer accordingly?all the human beings under his control, as well as the j animals. In many farming communities in the northern part of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont there are many living alone after having worn out three or four wives, women who have had to draw water from a well into a bucket at the end of a rope, and j to chop wood to keep from freezing in j winter, and in many cases these wo- ] men haven't had the proper food anil j clothing! "The milk is sold, so there is not' enough for their own use, and the eggs | are sold so as to get a little tea and i sugar, or tobacco. Cream, butter and = eggs on the farm, is an old saying handed down from 'the good old time.' | There is nothing very plentiful, except, the good fres.h air, and without it there ! ' i would be a greater mortality. The j wives of the farmers have no con- j veniences compared with what their j husbands have to make things easier, j j lU 1 ~ * ana mey are, as a i uie, sumt ui me Df'St women in the world, patient and enduring, and have sent recruits to the city for generations, to supply strength and energy to keep the city grinding. The wives of the most prosperous farmers are not much better off in some respects, as they have more responsibility and more to work for, and in many cases, no assistance, unless they are sick, or about to die. Thi3 is partly their fault for enduring such conditions for generations." Days Beyond Kecail. Apropos of war prices and the high cost of living.

S. C. ? - - - / / President X-RAY PRETEXTS DEATH FROM TUBERCULOSIS 1 Dr. Gibson Tells Research 3Ien Tliat In 757 Cases That He Treated Only G1 Died. With 757 successful cases to prove his claim' that the X-ray will prevent death from pulmonary tuberculosis, Dr. Jefferson D. Gibson of Denver made another address last week on the subject at the convention of the Ameri no n A f i* a? /vP Pliwi/kol D /\f nn l^au noou^iaiiuii ui v^miiiai xwc^cai at Philadelphia. "I wish to state now with emphasis," he said after describing his expreience with the method, "that the X-ray will finally bring about the emancipation of the race, from this dreadful scourge." Dr. Gibson, who was at one time a sufferer from pulmonary turberculosis, has been experimenting for ten years with the Roentgen ray and static elec1 tricity. I He first told of his belief that the X-ray is 'virtually a cure for tuberculosis when he made his address as president of the research society at is opening session. What he did during his last address was to describe in detail the cases on which he based the claim that in ten years tuberculosis will be considered a relatively harmless disease, easily d;scoverable and as eas; ily cured. I Disci very of Cases. | Dr. Gibson noc :>nly claims to cure I the disease with the X -ray, but says that even latent cases which can not j be detected by external symptoms can be discovered by the use of the ray. i me A-ray picture will snow enlarged lymphatic glands, which are the first to be affected by the bacteria long before the bacteria's presence can be j found in the sp-utum, lie said. Instead or only having the tuberculosis patient live in the open, diet properly and then let nature drive out the disease, Dr. Gibson says he stops I the propagation of the bacteria in the lungs and with static electricity and the inhalation of ozone burns out the Dtomaine in the Innsrs and builds ud I * * | the tissues. He told of remarkably rapid cures. "I have dealt only with advanced i cases," he said, "because I feel that success with them is what we most lack now. The early stages of the disease will take care of themselves. "It might seem that I have permitted my enthusiasm to run away with me in studying this cure, but I think that a feeling of gratification at least is justified when I say that out of 757 cases thus treated there has been only 16 deaths. Five hundred and sixty-six are alive today. The others died natural deaths of other ailments after living years after the treatment. "The Roentgen ray will always enable the physician to detect the disease in its incipiency, and in advanced cases there is absolutely nothing that will i control the coughing and temperature like this method. A 75 Per Cent Cnre. "I don't believe any man has ever been ale bto make the claim that I do in this paper, namely that 75 per cent j of the total number of patients treated i recovered. I wish to state now, with j emphasis, that the X-ray will finally i I mpany t per cent, as i iceipts are as rs. mpany 1 J?- J v*' e 6 per cent - 4 bring about the emancipation of tie human race from this dreadful scourge. M "Tn o fotr ir/io ? <-. ~ *J - <U M. iv- ?? Jtais Wircil we LLLtTUitXl IS better developed it will be a disgrace for a physician to permit a case of tuberculosis of any kind to progress to an advanced stage, because the X-rays even now find the incipient tendencies even before the symptoms form." 'The treatment is speedy. Advanced cases have been cured in from three to six months of the daily alternating application of the Roentgen ray and the static electricity treatments. When Dr. Gibson's paper was finished half a dozen sDecialists voiced an. proval of his method and their belief in its value. Among them were Dr. Arthur >W. Yale of Philadelphia, Dr. Daniel E. Si Coleman, director of a large tuberculosis institution- in New York city, and Dr. James Krauss of Boston, secretary of the CliDical association.

Atlanta, Oct. 2.?Can you imagine a young white woman in chains, working on the public roads in Georgia, with * a guard armed with a rifle to keep her on the job? That is what you would see if the sentence of the local criminal court in the case of Mrs. Janie Smith of East Point were carried out. The young woman was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the public highway, and as there were aggravated features of the offense, the judge felt it his duty to impose a fine of 12 months on the chain gang. There is the usual alternative of $100 fine, but this the young woman can not pay. fVerdict has been suspended' pending appeal to the higher court and even though the appeal is not sustained it is probable that the sentence will be modified in some way. Wilson to Aid in Kentucky. A Washington dispatch says Senator James of Kentucky called at the white house last Wednesday to urge President Wilson to make a speech in Ken- ? tucky in support of the candidacy of ex-Representative Augustus O.
