fe > FARM FLOCK PAY.
SpV Last month the home demonstraagent
of this county urged every
person to cull out of- the flock the
P99* producers. Many of our people
this advice and will save money
||^this winter in feed bills.
is the time to estaoiisn ior
^fe^jjryp'wyelreg a standard breed of chickA
breed in which you will find
pleasure in accomplishment of
.. certain definite objectives. Too long
1 our farm flocks have been breeded
without any care and too often it is
*** Partic^lar Just a mongrel
' so mixed that we, ourselves,
cannot recognize any of the original
blood. Such a flock does not pay,
\ each year it grows weaker.
South Carolina does not nearly
enough chickens'and eggs for

same breed. This will standardize
production. It will make marketing
easier and more profitable. It will
open the way for a county organization
when the need demands. It is
not our purpose to go into this on any
great or expensive scale, but we do
expect to lay strong and firm foundations
by beginning with a few of the
best this fall and as the project pays,
let it grow.
f The boll weevil is with us. What
can we do about it? There is ready
revenue in poultry if we will but produce
intelligently. The poultry association
purposes to make a united effort
to do this. If you desire further
information, see your county
home demonstration agent.
How Not to Take Cold.
Some persons are subject to frequent
colds, while others seldom, if
ever, have a cold. You will find that
the latter take good care of themselves.
They take a shower or cold
sponge bath every day in a warm
room, avoid over heated rooms, sleep
' with a window open or partly open,
| avoid excesses, over eating, becoming
over heated and then chilled and getting
the feet wet. Then, when they
feel the first indication of a cold,

NEW REBELLION IN '
GARDEN OF EDEN
"Mesopotamia, Upper and Lower,
vies with Egypt in claiming the honor
of being the home of ancient civili
zation," says a bulletin of the National
Geographic Society quoting from
several communications concerning
I the land of Adam and Eve where the
British recently sent more troops because
of native uprisings.
"Mesopotamia comprises the valleys
of the Tigris and Euphrates
rivers. Here flourished the Chaldean,
Babylonian, and Assyrian empires.
The city of Bagdad, with all
its glamor of mystery and magic, is
in the heart of Mesopotamia.
"This was the richest land in the
world, the granary of the ancients;
yet, in spite of all that it has been,
it today lies largely waste, the desert
sands have encroached upon the fertile
fields, while the clogged canals
have turned other portions into
swamps and marshes. 1
"What population there is?not
more than one mililon?is of Arab
origin and the Arabic language- is
spoken throughout. There is, in fact,
a very distinct dividing line between
the Turkish-speaking portions of th^
former Ottoman empire. This boundary
corresponds with the liipe of the
Bagdad railway ti om the Mediterranean
to the Persian Gulf. It is for the
exploitation ol this rich land of Mesopotamia
that the tamous Bagdad line
was built.
"Syria closes the east end of the
Mediterranean and is bounded on the
notrh by the Taurus mountains. The
Syrian and Arabian deserts limit further
settlement to the east and south.
But in connection with world commerce
it (Syria) has always been
closely related to the fertile valleys
of the Nile and the twin Mespotamian
rivers, and its commercial life tomorrow
cannot be divorced from that of
Mesopotamia.
"Mesopotamia is as fertile today as
when it was the birthplace of human
history and when the civilization that
developed there had only the Nile
valley as a competitive field.
"Various factors delayed the inevitable
reopening of the historic
trade route across Syria and Mesopotamia
in modern times.
"Nowhere, however, did trade follow
the rdilway to a greater extent
I than along the Bagdad line, <?nd in
{ the spring of Il>14 Aleppo was a
thriving commercial center of German
trade. At the hotels engineers and
merchants crowded the dining rooms
and talked of a mighty future in
Mesopotamia, That summer, war
came, and the burning question of
styles was rapidly succeeded by one
of food enough to keep body and soul
together.
"Fifty miles west of Bagdad, along
the Euphrates, lies the region now
commonly regarded as the Garden oi
Eden. To irrigate this Eden and to '
reclaim millions of fertile acres
around Bagdad was the stupendous
task to which the Turkish government
addressed itself.
"At Mussayeb, on the Euphrates,
u pre-war traveler saw 4,000 Arabs
digging like moles in the Babylonian
plain, making a new channel for the
river. In the dry bed of this artificial
channel an enormous dam was built.
"Nebuchadnezzar's vast irrigation
system, which once watered all Babylonia.
can still be easily traced for
miles about Bagdad. One giant
canal, the Xarawn. runs parallel with
the Tigris for nearly 300 miles; it is
2L50 feet wide .and all about it the
take-off and laterals may still be
identified. Herodotus said he found
a 'forest of verdure from end to end'
when he visited Mesopotamia."
CAM:.MEL SALIVATES
AM) LOOSENS TEETH
Tile Very Next Dose of this Treacherous
Drug may Start Trouble
You know what calomel is. It's mercurv:
tiuieksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable substi-j
tute for dangerous calomel. Take ai
spoonful and if it doesn't start your J
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than.nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loeses you a
day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you feel
great. No salts necessary. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and cannot salivate.
THE ENTERPRISE BANK }
CLOSES ITS DOORS j
.
i
i
(Charleston News and courier) I
Capt. James H. Craig, State Ex- j
aminer, has charge ot the affairs of
the Enterprise Bank, the doors of
which were closed yesterday morning
-no* 1 i /CfiofL- after a. meet
J UOl V ^ 4- v v ?
ing of the board of directors, who instructed
that the following notice be
posted:
'"Not being able to realize rapidly
enough on the loans, or to secure
the use of money through other channels
to meet the shrinking of deposits,
the officers and directors have
deemed it best to decline to receive
further deposits, and to place the affairs
of the banks in the hands of the
State bank examiner."
News that the institution at the
northwest corner Meeting and Market
streets was closed, came as a
sharp surprise and many people, including
customers of the bank, were
astonished when, on passing that way,
they saw a double queue of men and
women crowded about the doors, at
which policemen were on duty.
The published statement on the j
condition of the bank at the close
of business September 6, 1921, showed
total deposits of $1,309,979.05, j
loans to the extent of $1,188,584.97
and certificates lor money borrowed
of $115,000. The statement showed
that the bank had Liberty bonds j
valued at $162,500. The bank's capital
stock was $50,000 and surplus
$25,000.
Mr. Wilson G. Harvey is president
of the bank and Mr.. Robert C. Leb- '
by, vice president, these two and
the following being directors: Frederick
C. Peters, D. A. Brockinton and
H. Lee Harvey, Mr. Charles E. LePrince
was cashier.
The legal firm of Waring and
Brockinton is solicitor for the bank
and it was stated at the firm's office
that it did not have a statement, as
the State bank examiner has charge
of the situation. It is thought that
Capt. Craig will be in Charleston today
for an investigation.
The Enterprise Bank was founded
about twenty-five years ago and Mr.
Harvey, who had been serving as
cashier, was elected president about
twenty years ago.
"As a result of depressed conditions,"
a statement for the bank said,
"the officers of the bank could not
make collections ol' money as rapidly
as was necessary.to meet the shrinking
<-1 pposits. Every effort was made
by ihe officers to secure money from
one source or another, but without
avail, and the action taken became
necessary."
Mr. Harvey preferied saying "noth-ing
at present beyond expressing the
greatest concern and regret at the
necessity which had arisen and expressing
the hope that all depositors!
would be paid in full. He had used
every means within his power to avert
it by realizing money which would
permit the bank's continuation, but
without success, and he would continue
to do all that he could for the
best interest of the depositors and
Stockholders."
PROTECT YOUR CREDIT.
The following article from the
Jackson, Ga., Progress, is sensible,
honorable and to the point during
these more or less lean times:
Business is largely a matter of
credit, and credit is largely a matter
of character. If you prize your character
you will protect your credit.
The business structure needs to revise
its sense of honor. For a long
time contracts have been abruptly
broken, when it was the advantage of
some party. Debts have been allowed
to accumulate and obligations
have gone unpaid. The country as a
whole has lacked confidence, every
man being afraid to trust the other
fellow. Without confidence, credit,
and character we cannot have good
business.
Protect your good name by meeting
your obligations. Dor't fail the
man who trusted you. You may need
another favor some day.
Jas. Watson Says. "I'll Mover Forget
When Father's Hogs Got Cholera."
"One morning he found 20 hogs
dead and several sick. He called in
the Yet. who after dissecting a rat
caught on the premises, decided that
the rodents had conveyed germs.
Since .hen I am never without KATSXAP.
It's the surest, quickest rat
destroyer I know." Three sizes, 30c,
