There may or may not be a law in thia State under which indictment could be brought against shows for fake. advertising. If there is the law has been openly violated this season, and if ! there is not, the law makers should get busy and place such a statute on the books. One show which appeared recently in a number of South Carolina w towns is reported to have plastered the entire communities with flaming posters showing the big parade, followed by numerous acrobatic stunts, daring riders, rope walkers, numerous clowns, wild and domestic trained animals and features too numerous to enumerate, and thousands journey miles to see the wonders. And wonderful it was indeed to see how the people lined up v along the streets patiently watching |i for the parade that didn't appear. And B for the show, the animals evidently had eseaped and it was said that the B| advance men and bill posters were about as numerous as the performers and were far more adept in their busineas than the latter. This thing of an aggregation of hoboes with ten yards of canvas and a few greasy horns advertising themselves as a circus and giving the people in return for their dollars a show that is not worth the name has become entirely too common of late and the law should put a stop to Good News, But ? We are always interested in things that appear to be of advantage to the farmer.. Hence, we had just read with much interest an editorial in an ex| change telling of the discovery up in Maryland of large deposits of soluble potash, a mineral which is large'y used in the manufacture of commercial fertilizer. It was stated that a company, with a capital of $10,000,000, had been organised to operate the newly discovered mines, and that by the use of the home psoduct the farmer would be able to buy fertilizers at a much lower price. This was good news, but on turning to another exchange about the first item to meet our eyes was a news despatch from Washington City in which ik was stated that the director of the national geological survey had made act examination of the specimens discovered and had give:n out the information that the mineral showed no signs whatever of containing potash. There iare just a few things for which the people of this country now pay a royalty to our foreign cousins, and potash is one of the few. Rich and Retires. After 28 years in the show business, Col. W. F. Cody, known the world over as "Buffalo BillT" will at the close of the present show season retire to private life. With his show Col. Cody has not only visited all the larger cities of this country but has appeared in the arena before the crowned heads of Europe and is known to nearly every i boy over 10 years old throughout Christendom. Col. Cody is not only a 1 rich man now. but is not as young as he once was and has concluded to quit the show business. He will spend the remainder of his days on his ranch in Wvominp. Col. Codv earned the name ?r oof "Buffalo Bill" in the early sixties when he contracted to furnish buffalo meat to the laborers on the building of the Kansas Pacific railroad, and in less than eighteen months killed 4,280 bison. The retirement of "Buffalo Bill" nuu-ks the passing from the arena of one of the most noted showmen the world has ever known. Then and Now. A year ago a good heavy bale of cotton and the seed from it would bring a hundred dollars to the farmer selling it. Now he will do well to get half that money. And the reasous for the slump are so plain, says an exchange, that one who runs may read. The cotton mills aH around the world months ago planned to cheapen the price of cotton and worked in complete harmony to that end. The opening of the cotton crop all at one time played into their hands. And the making of the crop on credit forced the sale of all that has been sacrificed on the market. A year from now cotton may again bring for the staple and seed $100 a bale. It j would surely do so if their acreage could be reduced a third. Bad seasons next spring and summer would have the same good effect. Keep the Dollar* at Home. Ten years ago a farmer put his ini tials on a dollar bill, says an exchange, and the next day went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar bill back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it back was four years ago. He sent it to a retail mail order house. He has never seen that dollar / bill since, nor never will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will not build or brighten any more homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. If the Charleston papers could have turned the trick as successfully as Ed DeCamp appears to have done over in , Gaffney, there would have been none k of this wonder as to how it all hapL pened recently in the City by the Sea. From an editorial item which ap-1 peared in Friday's Gaffney Ledger we take it that Mr. Thos. B. Butler is tok be a candidate for mayor in the election^ soon to be held in his city. We hope , he will win, and if we were furnished ] transportation and the privilege to participate in the election he perhaps would get our vote. Elected mayor, I Mr. Butler would fill the bill as well as any man Gaffney could elect, and j probably better than some men Gaffney and other towns have elected, but, for the life of us, we just can't believe that Mr. Butler was "cut cut" for a congressman. If there is a law in South Carolina to punish one for neglecting dumb brutes, the authorities of Fort Mill ought to get busy. Mecklenburg's Stringent Game Law. From December 15th of the present year to January 10th of next year citizens of Mecklenburg will for the first time in several years be allowed to hunt quail?that is, if they comply with the law. The hunting law, as well as the law for selling birds, in MecKieri- j i burg is very stringent in its provisions, , I and the man who goes out for a day's I shooting even during the open season ? will have to keep an eye open to avoid violations of the statute. Below we < give sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Meek- ' lenburg law: < "It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt any game upon the land of another without written permission of ' the land owner, and if any person shall , go upon the lands of another with a ' gun it shall be prima facie evidence . that such person is hunting within the ' meaning of this section. . "It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to sell or offer for sale any quail or partridges between ' the tenth day of January and the first < day of December in any year and the possession of any quail or partridges between the said tenth day of January ' and the first day of December of any ? year, by any person, firm or corpora- ] tion shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section. "It shall be unlawful for any person < to hunt any game with a gun except J between the first day of December and the tenth day of January in any year; ' provided that this shall not apply to < the hunting of squirrels during the , period that it is lawful to hunt squirrels, nor to anv person hunting on his own land." An Appeal to High School Teachers. The Times has received from State High High School Inspector W. H. , Hand the following letter, which we give with pleasure a place in our columns: Columbia. Nov. 9. "To High School Principals ana ieacners: "All high school teachers teaching any of the sciences, especially physiology, botany, physical geography, and physics, are urged to require all pupils in these subjects to keep note books and to record in them every observation and experiment. To do this will add greatly both to the value of the study and the inttrest in it. To pursue the study of any science in this way cultivates in pupils the spirit of investigation, the habit of industry, and the ability to draw safe conclusions. Be- . sides, no better composition work . could be devised than writing the notes of a field trip or an experiment. "It requires only a little intelligent | guidance by the teacher to put pupils in the way to success. The beginnings may be crude; if so, it is all the more evident that such work ought to be done. Success will come, if the teacher is persistent, tactful, and able to guide. It is a work in which teacher ] and pupil can afford to work together. Much depends upon the spirit of the 1 teacher. ( "I should be pleased to confer with , any teacher in planning such work or in ' getting reports of his success." ] Notice of Election. Fort Mil), S. ('.. Nov. 13, 1911.
