Have you ever noticed that all the

A physician cannot prescribe liquor
for his own use when ill, says the
law. He must get another physician
to prescribe it, and no druggist is allowed
to fill a prescription of a physician
for himself. The law is very (
clear. The druggist, in other words,
is summoned to sit in judgment on
the necessity of the physician's needs.
There is no use getting panicky'
over the big decline in the price of}
cotton. The bulls had control of the
market for a long time and they made i
the bears sweat, and now the tables,
have turned. The bears are having
their day and they are making the i
most of it, but the picking won't last
long. Cotton is due for a big re- i
bound, regardless of what the Big
Interests or Liverpool do and
think, and if the farmers will sit (
steady in the boat the pendulum will,
swing the other way. The homely j
saying that "it doesn't rain in the
same field all the time," applies with
\
equal force to either side of the mar-j
ket and when cotton takes an upward
turn the rise will oe jusi as iasi *o
was the decline. The bears and other
powerful interests working in con- J
junction with them will find that the
south cannot be stampeded.

In another column is reproduced a
communication by Mr. T. W. Berry,
State Executive Committeeman from
Dillon county, to The State newspaper
in which Mr. Berry explains why he
voted against the appropriation of
$500 by the State Executive Committee
to the national campaign fund.
The position Mr. Berry takes in this
matter is sound and logical. We do
not believe the State Executive Committee
has the right to appropriate
funds raised for a specific purpose to
A*\ nr? ho.
anotner purpose, i^cuuci vi?
lieve it is right to make the candidates
for county offices pay the election
expenses of candidates for State
offices. The only part of the election
expenses borne by the candidates for
State offices is the printing of the
tickets for State offices and the entire
burden falls on the shoulders of the
candidates for the county offices.
This is a matter which should come
before the next State Convention.

Maybe we are growing old and the
world is getting ahead of us, but
somehow our better sense revolts at
many of the things we see going on
around us. The time was in our
youthful days when we could slip off ;
into a quiet corner and read a dime i
novel and enjoy it, and even at this 1
day we can get a whole lot of pleasure
out of a well-written detective j
story. The world used to frown i
down on the dime novel and when a
boy read one he felt like he was com- j
mitting a little sin, but the old dime i
novel with its rough-and-tumble
heroes is a prayer book compared to 1
the average picture the youth of this '
generation sees spread out on a j
movie screen. Many of them have i
gone far beyond the bounds of de- !
cency ? lewd, lustful, lascivious 1
bhings of a highly suggestive charac- ]
ter?and they are no doubt largely i
responsible for the wave of immo- 1
rality which seems to be sweeping !
over the country. A few days ago we ]
picked up the dramatic section of a j
widely read paper, published in a i
leading southern city and here is 1
what we saw advertised as the com- '
Ing week's attractions at the motion
picture theatres: "The Discarded
Woman," said to be true to life, with
the following foot note: "Js-ven tnougn
tho soul of woman may be crushed
By the treachery of man, there is still
Hope for revenge and redemption."
"The Leopard Woman," "A Story of
Passion and Love," "The Invisible
Divorce," "portraying the suffering
of silent separation and its results."
"The Tiger Rose," with the following
explanatory note: "A gripping story
of love, youth, passion." "Crooked
Streets," and last but not least. "The
Woman in Room 13," illustrated
with a suggestive picture of two
coarse looking men facing each other
in a belligerent attitude, one of whom
holds a pistol in his hand, while un
derneath we have the following insinuating
lines: "Great screen success
that lays bare the temptations of (
woman and the application of the un- t
written law. Was she in room 13? t
If not?who? For she was seen at
the door when the fatal shot was
fired?fleeing into the night?a ter- '
ror-stncken thing of fear." And on i
another part of the page we find the d
brazen-looking, highly painted female
creatures who took leading parts in ^
the pictures. How much longer is the i
decent, self-respecting half of the C
human family going to tolerate this 1
kind of filth? Years ago a certain
publication which carried lewd pic- c
tures of women of easy character, c
with suggestive foot-notes, was ex- F
eluded from the mails, and at the
present time it is a violation of the $
postal laws to send through the mailsj
obscene matter, yet the government
permits these lascivious stories to be ?
told by word and picture to millions t
of credulous young girls and boys n
every night. The producer takes
particular pains to create the impres-'
sion that the characters represent 0
men and women who move in the *
"higher circles*' and the scenes are &
laid in an atmosphere of wealth and i
luxury. What then is the effect on1
the minds of the youths and maidens b
who move in a lower circle? When jt<
one stumbles and falls she becomes ^
an object of scorn and contempt.)
But who's to blame? The moving r
picture has come to stay. ' It has be- s
It
come the world's most popular form f
of amusement, and for that very reaP
son it should be subjected to the^
strictest censorship. All pictures are
not bad. Many of them are elevating n
and instructive, but one bad picture
negatives the influence of a dozen g
good ones. Where is the end? Who k
will raise the voice of protest? Or(
shall we sit down supinely and let
the world sink to still lower levels? n

tion the characteristic of each of the ^
the originals. The result today is an 11
early variety, of medium size stalk,!>v
exceptionally large bolls for wilt re- 1'
sistant cotton, and a good yielder. |1'
All these experiments and breed- 0
ing have been conducted on the place F
of the late J. C. C. Brunson, about ^
three miles from Florence. Mr. Brun- e|
son tended to the growing end of the,
business till his death this spring.;
Incidentally Mr. Brunson achieved 11
such noteworthy and commendable
results in cotton improvements that j
Clemson college conferred upon him ii
the diploma of merit, of which it lias li
issued less than half a dozen, in recognition
of the benefits he had produced
for Southern agriculture. Dr. Wat-Itl
=011 handled all of the breeding work. j\v
Of late, he has had associated with
him E. E. Hall, of Clemson college. |
in 11117, when the breeder made s,
his first general tests of his new breed ti
in South Carolina, his seed were,
planted on 409 acres of wilt infected i
lanas. At 288 cents per pound, the;
users of these seed estimated, by care-'C
ful check on their crops, that the in-,0
creased production alone brought >'
them in $127,120.12. Dr. Watson!
has not tabulated any more recent reports
on his seed in this way. How-;ei
ever, he has had them tried out in tj
Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas and ti
Texas, where both weevil and wilt
have been most damaging, and the!
general results reported have been!
increased yields of from double to f'
four times any other varieties. Clem-.t'
son college has tested the new variety f<
and highly recommends it. a
In instance and typical of the per- t<
foruiance of this variety, when Dr. j.
Watson began his experiments here
10 years ago, the land on the Brun-i
son place which he elected for his!
work was yielding less than a quarter !
of a bale to the acre and some sea-.
sons the production was only one1
bale to 10 acres. Today he is picking:
a bale to a bale and one-half to the:
acre and is striving to increase this
yield even more. In this connection,'
Dr. Watson selected the place of Mr.'
Brunsou because it was so uniformly!
and severely infected with the cotton
wilt.

PATHETIC STORIES TOLD
BY PUBLIC WELFARE BOARD
Columbia, Sept. 28.?The State
Board of Public Welfare in its inspection
of the institutions for the c
poor of the state finds some pathetic
stories. The halt, the maimed and
the blind; those that are racked with 1
disease and are forgotten by the out- 1
side world; folk that are ager, chll- <
dien that are feeble-minded?paupers a
and wrecks of our social order are t
gathered into city almshouses to drag I
out a miserable existence that lead!
down to Potter's held. Recently one
of the officials of this office visited
an almshouse in this state. This is
the story of the inmates that he
gives:
"Of the eight inmates two have
tuberculosis. They are cared for by
a negro woman who is nurse, cook
laundress and housekeeper. The food
supplied consists of salted bacon,
gilts, bread, syrup and such vegetables
as are produced on the farm.
Occasionally fresh meat and eggs are
added to the bill of fare. This food |
is prepared in an unscreened kitchen i
where no precautions are taken to
prevent the spread of disease by
means of hies and soiled dishes.
"As a result of vinereal diseases an
inmate is partially crippled, and anotner
is totally blind. One woman
claims to be one hundred years old;
she may not be that age but she has
almost reached the period when she
cannot care for herself. Another
pauper Is a paralytic old woman who
can walk but a few trembling steps
even with the aid of a stick. She has
no crutches, and complains that the
coarse food makes her sick.
"Another pathetic case is that of
a half-crazy man who has been upon
the farm for many years. He is now
obsesseu with the idea that the farm
belongs to him and bitterly resents
the county's failure to pay the rent
long due him. Much of his time is
spent in reading a stray copy of the
"House Journal" for 1908 and muttering
fragments of sentences of protest
against his being made a slave
for twenty-five years and not being
given anything to wear but "these old y
torn up things."
"in a darkened room was an oid|
woman dying with innumerable cancers.
The wall of the cottage supported
her in a half sitting position
upon her pallet spread on the floor.
Beside her was an untouched tin pan
of rice and boiled meat. She explained
that nothing tasted good to
her but she wanted to try some sardines
and crackers. She had once
enjoyed them and hoped that they
would arouse her failing appetite.
For hours she had no one to care for
her, although her body was twitching
with pain. She begged piteously for
another supply of some medicine that
had once helped to ease the pain thai
was torturing her through the lonely
Y\ ni 1 rc " '
The State Board of Public Welfare
finds only one solution of this
state of affairs, and that is the district
hospital home. Should a group
of counties be induced to erect a
home-like and comfortable building
and equip it for persons that need
medical treatment und careful nursing,
the poor of that district would
not be forced to foregather in a miserable
haunt. Such a hospital home
would not only be in keeping with a
kindly spirit, but it would also cost
little more, if any, than our present
system of county almshouses.

WHEAT AND OATS
THE OUTLOOK ?
COME FACTORS OF 8UCCE88FUL I
8MALL GRAIN PRODUCTION
I IN SOUTHERN STATES* J
'Ju
' C. A. Whittle, Southern Soil m
Improvement Committee.
Wheat is too closely related to hnman
hunger ever to suffer a serious
lump in demand. At this time the
great wheat producing areas of Europe
give no signs of getting immediately
back to normal production. 80vlet
Russia, the greatest of all, offers
oo signs of growing wheat beyond?if
even equal to?-the neede of Russia.
Roumania, Austria, Hungary and the
Balkans are so depleted in men and
means, and so disturbed with war and
International politics, as to grow not1
even enough small grain (or their own
hungry and starring millions. Other
leading European countries are lm- 4
porters and not exporters of grain.
The Americas wilt therefore, be the
hope of Europe's bread. In fact, the
demand will continue to be very argent
,
LABOR?The labor requirement*
per acre of wheat Is less, of course,
than for cultivated crops. Where labor's
scarce wheat and oats are, theretore,
to be looked upon with favor.
But the labor problem involved in
producing wheat will not be completely
solved unless the farmer goes In for
large yields per acre. It requires no
more preparation, and seed, to grow
a big crop of wheat than a small one.
Therefore, the Intelligent farmer will
look well to hie soil treatment so that
maximum yields may be made at a
minimum cost per bushel. Farm labor
Is too expensive to neglect thla precaution.
nnr r? a n a -ri am _Tirka?s An4m

do best on upland soils. The stiffer,
firmer soils are preferred. But it does
Qot pay to sow these crops on eroded,
thin soiled slopes. If the crop is to
follow cotton, corn or other cultivated
crop, the soil may be disked. Deep
breaking Is not necessary. After drilling
In the seed, the soil may be firmed
ind smoothed with a roller.
FERTILIZATION? Intelligent fertilization
will pay on wheat and oats.
Fertilizers will create a good root derelopment
and thue protect the plant
against winter-killing; they will hasten U
the growth of wheat that has been '
town late on account of the Hessian
fly; It will increase stoollng or tiller
tng, and make plumper grain and fullsr
heads; and well-fed plants are also
nore resistant to rust and other dls- (
tasee. ^
An application of nitrogen In late
winter or early spring will prove very
lelpful in giving the grain crops a vigorous
new start.
GOOD SEED? variety of wheat
nay be good, but the germinating
power of the seed poor. A farmer
ihould give more attention to his
wheat and oat seed. He should find
out their yielding record. Different:
itralns of a variety will have different i
rielding ability. Get only the beat?!
!t pays.
Good seed includes clean seed. Make I
them smut-free by a dip into blue
jtone. Use only the varieties that have
rust resistance power.
Farmers of the cotton belt would do
well to go into the growing of cereals
on a broader scale. Small grains fit
in with a well arranged crop rotation.
They provide necessities, and thereby
add to the independence of the farmer
and to his power to conserve the returns
from his money crops.
BENEFITS OF RYE AS A WINTERCOVER
CROP. ^
Southern soils are much in need of
organic matter or humus. An excellent
opportunity for providing it is afforded
by rye ?own in the fall and
turned under in the spring. Not only
will it increase the organic contents
of the soil, but it will conserve platftfood
and increase the yields of subsequent
crops. It usen nitrogen that
would have leached out and would hare
been lost during the fall and winter.
It also utilizes the phosphoric acid and
potash that becomes soluble during the
winter. All these and ther elements
of plant food go into the ground with'
the spring plowing and will be releas
ed for the subsequent crops.
Winter legumes are excellent where
they can be grown with success, but It
is much easier to get a stand of rye
on all kinds of soils and under various
climatic conditions. Rye ia In
fact the most dependable crop for
poor soils, and It is the poor soil, of
course. which needs a winter-crop
moat.
Mistaken are sometimes made in a \
failure to plow under rye at the right
time, ir the spring is ary 11 snouiai
be turned under early, no matter whati
Its stage of growth Is. The danger,
of course, is that rye will pump out
too much soli moisture, rendering the
soil hard and lumpy when plowed and ?
giving the following crop a poor show.
If the spring is wet or normal, of
course, the rye should be allowed to
grow as long as possible, since It will
be adding benefits to the soil.
Rye being such a good soil helper
ought to be giver, a better show than
is usually accorded it. The seed bed
should bz- well prepared and fertilizers
should be applied, to both of which It
makes ready response.
