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.

Doirts'* For Men iii the Forties.
In the October American Magazine
a contributor writes an entertaining
an helpful article entitled "Growing

around the corner. At 50 he is ten
years younger, more youthful, just
through obeying a few simple rules.
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. And that doesn't mean

you are not going to find it half as hard

WORDS AND MUSIC
BY JUDGE BENET
Stirring Ballad of Present War Com
posed by Former Carolinian
Has Martial Spirit.
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.
'We charged their line full three to
one,
And all that man could dare was done.
But, Dunder and Blitzen; they won't
run,
That little contemptible army.
We fought by day, we fought by

We charged and fought with all our
might,
And found to our cost that they can

"We make light of them with tongue
and pen,
But the 'shop-keepers' are fighting

That little contemptible army.
We thought we'd whipped Field Marshal
French
And trapped his army in their tren?k;
But fortune is a fickle wench;
Ach; little contemptible army!
"Instead of being put to rout
'Twas quite the other way about?
They charged with bay'net thrust and
snoui,
That little contemptible army.
They drove us back the way we came;
And well the Britishers play the game.
To be beat by them was no great

Two years ago orders were issued
that pajamas be provided for enlisted
men, and it was assumed that this
article of night apparel would soon be|

; 100,000 pairs were purchased, and sail-!
j ors were notified they could draw them j
| whenever they liked. j
For a time there was no demand, but i
finally some of the men discovered a !
use for the garments. About 3,000
pairs were distributed. Then it was
found that seamen were using the pajamas
as underwear; others wore them
, while coaling ships.
The navy department will soon offer
70,000 suits of pajamas for sale to the j
highest bidder.

Missouri lives a colored man who has ,
j won for himself considerable local re
1 nown on account of his ability as a
landscape gardener. He was engaged
one day in setting out shrubs on his
employer's lawn. 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."

EELER, Manager, IS
. 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. Senator Root said in
New York, according to the Buffalo
News:
"And many of us can remember the
time when a youth could get good
board at $4 a week in all our principal
cities.

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

bring about the emancipation of tie

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.
Dr. Gibson said later that he is convinced
that the climate of Colorado

touch with, men and women who have
left the State since, and he has had as
excellent results with several cases i
treated in Alabama.
White Woman in Chains?
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. Stanley
for governor. The president told Senator
James he would take the request
under consideration and give an answer
in ten days. (The president said
that he would write a letter indorsing
Mr. Stanley if he found it impossible
to go to Kentucky to make a speech.
