YEAR RICH IN .CENTENARIES
Natal Day Ceiebraticns of Many Famous
People Will Take Flace
During 1919.
This year of grace 1010 is rich in
centenaries. To begin with, it' is a
hundred years since Queen Victoria appeared
on Mother Earth?a centenary
concerning which the monthlies will
presently he waxjng eloquent, London
Tit-Bits states.
Another noted centenary of the
present year is that of the famous old
sea-dog. Admiral Rodney, the man in
whom for years the t rench iounu so
persistent an assailant, so doughty an
adversary. "Twns way back in 1819
thacthis old gentleman first delighted
his friends with his presence. The
Centenary of W. E. Foster, the statesman,
will also be celebrated this year.
Fe\v greater authorities on education
than thi^ gifted son-in-law of the great
Doctor Arnold of Rugby ever breathed.
Among other worthies whose names
must also be mentioned In this connection
is .that of John Campbell
Sharp, the Wordsworthlnn poet and
philosopher: Arthur Hugh Clough, the
poet, and Charles Kingsley, the gifted
author of jthat immortal thriller,
'"Westward Ho!" :
Scotsmen will presently he doing
honor to the memory of another noted
Individual whose centenary also falls
this year?a man worthy of a happier
fate?Donald Cargill, the great covenantor,
who, it will be remembered,
for daring to excommunicate the king,
was^executed at the Old Market
Cross, Edinburgh. Neither must we
forget George Eliot, the authoress of
that unparalleled \romance, "Adam
Bede."
WORKERS NOT ALWAYS BUSY
Bustling Individual Sometimes Is
Mecely Carrying Out Ideas Evolved
by Apparent "LoSfer."
Secretary of War Baker was de
fending certain army officers who had
been berated as chair warmers. "Some
may be," he admitted, "but in most
cases I am sure you will find that the
very person whose position or work
seems almost a sinecure, is doing big
things, while often the person who is
thoughtlessly given credit is not the
real worker at all. Like the secretary's
stenographer.
"'Who is that busy young woman
telling that visiting committee where
to get off?' asked the stranger.
"'Oh,' was the answer, 'she's the
secretary's stenographer.
"'What secretary?'
"'The secretary of the Bluffville
chamber of commerce. That's him,
reading (he movie magazine in the
- back room. He's the "live wire" you
" read so much about in the daily papers.'
"
Forcing Plants by Light _/
To force the growth of plants by
the use of artificial light is not a new
idea, but the system hitherto has been
too expensive, In proportion to obtainable
results.
Recently a man engaged in horticulture
discovered an efficacious method
of applying light for this purpose. Arranging
in winter quarters his plants
as be wished them to grow, he supplies
a lamp with mercuay vapor for
fuel and the seeds germinate in less
than half the ordinary time, while the
vigor and intensity of the color of the
' flowers is superior to that of the product
grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon noticed
in connection with this action of
light is an infinite multiplication of
the downy substance commonly found
on stems. Those grown in shadowhave
the stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been obtained
by this system.
/
Hot Blast of Volcanoes.
Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets /orth detailed
arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
of St. Pierre during the eruption of
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption of
Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption of Taal,
Sakurajlma, etc., derived its heat from
- the sudden compression of the air surrounding
the volcano, and not from
, conditions In the volcano Itself. In
other words, it was not, according to
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruction,
but the dynamic heating of the
air attending the propagation of the
explosion wave.
Admiralty** Mumor.
The British admiralty has a sense
( of humor, and occasionally displays It
Id official documents.
An old sea captain wrote to the department
complaining, more in sorrow
- r . than In anger, of the way in which his
ship had been dazzle-painted: "First
you make me look like a parrot, and
then you make me look like a haystack,
and I don't want to look like
either." He got back the official reply
:
"We don't want you to look like
either a parrot or a haystack, but we
do want you to look like as if your
stern was where your head ought to
be."
Mines Threaten Shipping.
Naval authorities say it will be several
years before the waters of Europe
are entirely free of floating mines.
Many of the German mines destroyed
by allied trawlers were found to have
been moored by ropes. When the rope
rotted the mines broke from their
anchorages and drifted in many cases
to the main line of steam travel.
Farmers Organizing Rapidly.
I
Columbia, Oct. 14?"The movejnent
to organize the cotton growers
|of the South is on in full blast,"
said B. F. McLeod, state manager of
["the South Carolina Cotton Association |
today in an appeal to those people in
South Carolina who have not yet j
joined the association to do so. "Thej
(American Cotton Association is rei
moving the glue from the eyes of ev_
ery farmer in the.belt ana today they!
are organizing, organizing for some-'

! diiiicult and most expensive product,
igrown from American soil. They are'
'organizing for their very freedom.:
They are organizing for prosperity
and happiness, something practically
unknown to many of them. Thevi
are going about it in a broad and cooperative
manner, willingly gladly,
and enthusiastically. They are being
given the fullest help by bankers,
[newspapers, merchants, and professional
men.
"Messages are daily pouring into
the offices ot the American Cotton
Association telling of the organization
of county after county. The
movement is sweeping the belt like
;a burning sage field. We hope soon
itoi be able to report every county in
South Carolina thoroughly organized
"Xo doubt the realization on the
part of the gamblers in the cotton future
market, spinners, spot merchants
and foreigners that the farmer is
waking up, coming into his own, has
been responsible for the more aggressive
demands for the spot article and
[the subsequent ri*e in the price of;
cotton of nearly three cents a pound
in about that many<lays. Cotton merchants
from all sections of the belt;
report the heaviest demand for cot-;
'ton in years for this Reason of the
year. Why? Because they realize that
the,world faces an unprecedented
| shortage in cotton and goods andj
j that unless they hurry it will all be
gone.
"Let me urge the farmers t0 com:man.d
their price or refuse to sell.
The one sure way to dictate the price
for your cotton is to organize. The
South Carolina Cotton Association, division
of the American Cotton Association,
offers your opportunity.''
