A Substitute for Cotton.
Peanuts have been found a
very profitable substitute for cotton
in a number of States where
it has become an impossibility to
raise the latter on account of the
ravages of the boll weevil. A
Mississippi man writing to the
Manufacturers' Record says that
in his State the coming season
there will be planted to peanuts
anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000
acres, and that Louisiana
will increase her peanut crop
from 30,000 to fully 100,000 acres.
It is pointed out that the hsy
from the peanut vine is more
nutritious than timothy and that
it will also more than pay the
expense incurred in making the
crop. It has been praven that
the oil from the peanut is of a
much higher grade than cotton
oil and that the market for the
product is always ready and
waiting. Thus it appears that
in places where the weevil is
such a great destroyer the farmers
are still able to earn a livelihood
in tilling the soil.
Help the Traveler*.
One of the improvements that
is needed throughout this section
is signboards at the public
road crossings. In Fort Mill
township there are a number ol
crossings and if a signboard can
be found at any of them we have
not heard of it. In the absence
of signboards it is impossible for
tourists to find the way from one
point to another without a great
deal of inconvenience and frequently
automobilists find themselves
miles out of the way on
account of having misunderstood
instructions as to the route they
should have taken at the road
crossing. It is frequently the
case that those living on the public
highways are incapable of
giving intelligent instructions
about ways and in many places
there is no one living near the
fork of the road to give advice.
With signboards at each roadcrossing
the stranger could go
his way without danger of becoming
lost and we are sure that
this advantage would be well
worth the small outlay of money
it would require.
Renovate the Ministry.
Of late days it is very frequent
that one reads in the papers of
the exposure and subsequent
downfall of a minister of the
gospel, and to many it appears
that the sins of the reverend
gentlemen are becoming more
numerous or that they are not as
adept in covering their iniquities
as they formerly were. The papers
of a few days ago contained
news of the arrest in Atlanta of
South Carolina clergyman who
was charged with abduction. Of
course, the minister denied the
charge, claiming that he was only
the "spiritual adviser" of the
girl, but the denial didn't go with
the Atlanta authorities and the
preacher and young lady were
held. Of this and other cases
in which ministers have figured !
the Abbeville Press and Banner
has a very sensible editorial, a
part of which follows:
It looks like the time has al?out
come for renovation in the ministry.
People give countenance to
every black-frocked self appointed
religionist who happens along,
without duly studying his "daily
walk and conversation." How
often does it happen that the
holiest of all callings known to
man is brought into the mire
tKiorktin-li tho Tv?r?nnnlifv nf snmp
till VU^IJ V4?V pv* W OMt.VJ V* wv
hypocrite who has had his popular
following! How often does
it happen that incompetents who
are unable and unwilling to meet
the manly competition of daily
life, seek a haven in the religious
credulity of the masses! How
often does it happen that the
cloak of righteousness is assumed
to cover secret villainy!
After all. ministers are mere
men; and the sun of the mighty
Beecher set under a cloud of
scandal. The minister who can
not hold to the strait and narrow
way should abandon his place at
the front of the flock. The
strength of the ministry lies not
in learning, nor yet in eloquence,
but in the life of simple faith,
that, denying the flesh, is moulded
by the precepts of the Master.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, an ordaided
minister, became skepti-,
cab of some of the doctrines he
was preachirg. Rather than
continue a sham in the face of I
his conscience, he announced his
doubts from his pulpit and gave
up his charge. Emerson was a
pure and honest man, but if he
could not carry his conscience
into his work he adopted the
right course. A worm at the
root of a tree will carry blight to
-every leaf. I
The cardinal troths of thej
rv
Christian religion no man can
doubt, but if some, like Emerson,
do not accept the whole, they
should accept on faith those
things that the mind can not
comprehend, or do as Emerson
didL The finite can not fully
comprehend the infinite, and he
who does not accept this simple
truth of religion is unfitted to
teach its principles.

It is a pleasure to note that the
farmers of the country are beginning
to realize the importance
of the telephone, and that many
are taking advantage of the opportunities
it offers. Besides the
pleasure of conversing over the
telephone with his neighbors,
the farmer can keep posted as
to market prices, weather conditions,
etc., as well as having a
physician, an officer of the law
or, in fact, the whole of the
county w thin his reach at a moment's
notice. Then, too? the
telephone saves much anxiety
and many trips to distant points,

lect for the small pecuniary outlay

According to the statement of
a Chester man the parole granted
Otis Helton the past week was
the cause of much indignation
among the people of Chester.
The crime for which Helton was
sentenced was explained to The
Times as being of a. very brutal
nature and was committed with
but little, if any, provocation.
For these reasons, it was said, j
Chester people were little short
of astounded at the governor's j
action.
The Times hopes that John T.
Roddey will not resign as mayor
of the city of Rock Hill, for during
Mayor Roddey's administration
Rock Hill has grown at a
rate unapproached by any town
in this section, and it would be
little short of a calamity should
he step down and out.
Another Peculiarity.
One of the peculiar things
about publishing a newspaper is
that the man who asks the most
favors and who wants his name
printed most frequently is the
man who is not even a subscriber
to the paper. ?Fort Mill Times.
Just so. But it's also a peculiar
thing that some people want
matters of an advertising nature
published for nothing just because
they are subscribers to the
paper. ? Lancaster News.
Dr. Lingle to Leave Atlanta.
Of interest to the people of
York county and the State at
large was the announcement a
few days ago of the resignation
of Dr. W. L. Lingle from the
pastorate of the First Presbyterian
church of Atlanta, which
position he has held for four
years. Dr. Lingle's resignation
was made in order that he might
take the chair of Hebrew and
New Testament interpretation ai
the Union Theological seminary
in Richmond, Va., where he will
go on September 20.
Before going to Atlanta Dr.
Lingle was pastor of the First
church of Rock Hill, and was
widely known throughout this
county and section. He is one
of the most capable and popular
ministers of the Southern church
and his resignation from the Atlanta
church was accepted with
much regret.
York Han Meets Tragic End.
Gus Bumgartner, a son of Mr.
s?d Mrs. John Bumgartner, of
Yorkville was run over and instantly
killed by a Seaboard
train in the Charlotte yards last
: * n
weanesaay evening ai v u ciwi*.
There were no eye witnesses and
just how the unfortunate accident
occurred probably will remain
a mystery.
Mr. Bumgartner had been em-1
ployed for some time in the
Louise Cotton mill at Charlotte,
but had gotten off to visit his
parents at Yorkville, and had returned
to Charlotte presumably
to again work at the Louise mill. !
Upon reaching the city he de- i
cided, however, to run over to:
Mt. Holly and spend the night, j
A friend accompanied Bumgartner
to the depot and left him
there. Nothing more was seen
of him until a negro switchman
discovered the upper part of the j
body laying outside of the track,
it having been thrown far enough
away from the rail for the negro
to see it from the top of the car.
When the engineer and train
crew reached the scene life was
not quite extinct, although the
lower part of the body was with- j
in the tracks. The body had
been cut in two about the heart
and the left arm was severed.
A shoe was found about a hundred
feet back down the track, [
indicating that the body had been
drauved some distance.
Bumgartner's father was notified
of the accident and at once
went to Charlotte and took charge
of the body. The dead man was
about 25 years of age.
Helton Granted Parole.
Otis Helton, a young white
man who, with his mother, lived
m one of the Fort Mill cotton
mill villages some years ago, was
on Wednesday granted a parole
by Governor Blease. The parole
was conditioned upon Helton's
abstention from the use of intoxicants.
Helton was convicted of murder
with recommendation to
mercy at the 1910 spring term of
court for Chester county, and
was sentenced by Judge DeVore
to life imprisonment

Crop Conditions Less Favorable, j
Crop reports for the last week j
wTere less uniformly favorable j
than formerly. Excessive rain j
has fallen in the Mississippi Val- :
ley States and in Oklahoma, j
while North and South Carolina j
have suffered from drought and \
shedding-. Boll worms, army |
worms and caterpillars have ap- t
Siared in many counties in Texas, :
ississippi and Alabama and the ?
excess of moisture for the season *
makes some of the planters fear e
rust and blight and an excess of j
plant growth. These conditions I
make the situation rather less !
satisfactory, but the outlook is *
still excellent, as the damage Jj
from these troubles has not been t
heavy. I
The plant has grown large and {
seems very healthy in all States i
save ibs droughty districts of J
the two Carolinas and a little
portion of northern Texas. It
has taken fruit well and if the
present crop set on the stalk is
matured the yield will be a large
one.
Picking has been delayed by
the abundant moisture supply and
the crop will not move as early
as exp<?cted in the central and !
eastern States for this reason. :
Boll weevil damage has been j [
very slight up to the present and j

That Rock Hill-Chester Road.
One thousand people from
Chester, Rock Hill and the im-;
mediate country gathered at
Wooten's pasture above Lewis
Turnout Thursday for the good |
roads picnic held jointly under S
the auspices of the Chester com- mercial
club and the Rock Hill
chamber of commerce, says a
special to The State. The people
decided to begin work on build- i
ing the highway between Chester j
and Rock Hill Monday, August j
14, and subscriptions of both ;
labor, mules and money were i
made. Something like $1,000
was subscribed on the spot, the
people being unanimously of the
opinion that the road and citizens
of the two towns cooperating
with the supervisors and county
commissioners of the two counties
will build the road. It is
psHmnfpil that the work can be
done in one weed's time for out
of the picnic grew committees
and offers of assistance enough
to assure that the work will be
completed.
The gathering was a representative
one of the best farmers
and business men of the two
counties.
Much Pellagra in the Sonth.
That a pellagra wave is sweeping
many of the Southern States
is the opinion expressed by Dr.
J. W. Babcock, the superintendent
of the State hospital for the
insane. He is an authority on
the subject of pellagra and has
given the disease a careful study.
It was stated by Dr. Babcock
that the number of cases at the
State hospital for the insane had
not materially increased during
the past several weeks, but that
reports received from various
sections of the South indicated
that the disease was increasing.
Dr. Babcock was asked at
Columbia fche other day if the
excessive hot weather caused the
increase in the number of diseases.
He was unable to say.
The Coldest Place on Earth.
What is said to be the coldest
place on the globe is the region
of Verkholensk, Siberia. Here
is a convict station, but during
most of the year no guards are
needed to keep the prisoners from
running away, for in the more
cntroro ru-\rHnnc nf thp urinf"pr nn
living creature can remain in the
open, and during the three most
severe months, when the temperature
sometimes falls to 85 degrees
below zero, no one dares to
venture out for more than a few
moments at a time.
Ordinary steel tools will snap
like glass, and unseasoned wood
becomes almost as hard as steel. .
When one breathes a powder like j "
the very finest snow falls at one's 1
feet. It is said that there are v
less forms of insect life here than s
elsewhere in the world, and some a
of those found are not found else- a
where, seemingly having been v
created especially to inhabit such
a frigid region.
Some of the signal-service officials
declare that most of the a
severe cold waves that sweep F
across the North American con- J1
tinent have their origin in Verk- t
holensk. The wind blows a per- c
feet gale almost all the time, and t
that discomfort, added to the low I J
temperature, would certainly j
make this a very unpleasant place i:
in which to spend the winter. tl

~ a
Cure For Pellagra.
Everybody ought to feel an ?
interest in Mr. Dedmond's pel- J a
lagra curt, as there are several ^
cases in and near Clinton which s
have been cured, we learn, ir
Hearing of the case of a lady
friend near this city who was
said to have been cured of this
dread disease, we called her up w
over the phone and asked her if u
such were the case. She replied
that it was true; that her disease was
pronounced pellagra by two
physicians who treated her for it,
but she .finally went to Mr. Ded- o
mond and procured some of the a
medicine and in four days' time
she felt as well as she ever felt
in her life, and that she considers it
herself entirely cured. Now, for cl
the sake of suffering humanity.
Mr. Dedmond ought to be en- _
couraged; and the doctors ought ?i
to give his remedy a trial. ?Lau- J
