THURSDAY. JULY 17. 1913.
The announcement that Jack
Johnson had determined to play
quits with the United States
was pleasing: news to millions of
decent Amerieans.
There is no bigger curse to the
morality of a large number of
towns in this State than the
"social club." and it iB a wonder
that the Legislature would not
repeal the law under which
these rum shops are chartered.
The so-called "social club" is
organized primarily for the pur-'
pose of illegally selling whiskey:
yet, under the law. the secretary
of State is compelled to issue
the charter when application is
made. A big feather would be
added to the cap of the legislator
who would carry through the
General Assembly an act for the
repeal of this law, '
strikes us that Fort Mill is
lagging in one important particular
and that is that it has no
live and enthusiastic business,
organization. If Fort Mill had
a board of trade or a chamber
of commerce, or any organization
of that sort, it might be
possible to do much for the welfare
of the town by inducing
manufacturing concerns to locate
here. Some of the neighboring
towns have boosters' clubs which i
are intensely active in community
development; and, if
Fort Mill bnsiness men do not
awaken, we soon will be outstripped
by our neighbors. The
time is ripe for the citizens of
this town to get busy and do
something worth while in the
promotion of its welfare.
Plans for the Federal government
to raise u barrier against
the boll weevil of the Southwestern
States invading the
Atlantic coast States are being
drafted by Senator Smith, of
South Carolina. The plan is for
the Federal governm*. nt, with
State cooperation, to prohibit
the growing of cotton in a belt
which would separate the Atlantic
coast States from the
Southwestern States. As the
boll weevil migrates only from
cotton held to cotton field, the
Senator believes this belt would
save the Slates to the east of it
from the pest, which has cost
cotton raisers in the Southwest
millions of dollars annually. If
Senator Smith succeeds in getting
his boll-weevil bill passed
and its operation proves effective,
he will have been "worth his 1
weight in gold" in Congress, not
only to the farmers of his own
State, but to cotton growers of
all the States which the cotton
pest has not yet invaded.
It takes a normal amount of
rain each year to grow the crops.
This normal rainfall is well
known. In consequence the
weather bureau issues bulletins
showing the precipitation and
excess or deficiency of moisture.
It takes a normal amount of
boosting and public spirit to
keep a town from drying up. If
a bulletin were issued showing
what you have done to patronize,
to boost and to help this town,
where would your name appear?
? in the excess or in the deficiency
column? Are you precipitating
a normul amount of
home pride and local enthusiasm?
The propositions differ in two
important particulars: First, you
can't have an excess of home
pride. Second, if there is a
deficiency, you can correct it.
Efforts to make it rain when the I
t.
i???
$
country needs rain have never
been very successful. But it
ought to be easy for you to
realize that you are not doing
enough for this town and for
this town's present and future
and to get out of the deficiency
column and onto the honor roll.
The Festive Ghigger.
Did you ever get "chiggers" |
or rea Dugs : l nis is the open
season now for these little pests. '
The tiny bugs cause some people
almost untold annoyance, and
sometimes the irritation and
resulting scratching cause ery- i
sipelasand blood poisoning. They
bother children, young ladies,
and delicate or thin skinned
people more than they do men,
or people whose skin is more exposed
to the sun and weather by
outdoor work. These little bugs
are scarcely as 'large as the
period used by the printer in
this article.
These harvest mites or "chiggers"
fall off bushes and shrubs
or. the bare skin, or crawl up on j
the ankles or legs when we happen
to stand in their midst, or
they crawl all over our bodies
should we lie or sit down on the
grass, particularly the grass
along the shady edge of woodland
or meadows or inwet places.
Once on the skin they burrow
iown into the sweat ducts, and
in a few hours they begin to'
gorge themselves with blood and
:ause great irritation to the I
victim.
The best way to handle the j
"chigger" problem is not to get
any on in the first place. But I
sometimes it is almost impossible
to keep from having to wadej
through tall grass or weeds,
where they abound. The best
preventive for the little pests is
ordinary flowers of sulpur. The
sulphur dust should be sifted

liuwii cue unuerwear auu siockings
in liberal quantities. Ordi- j
narily, if one does not lie down,
it will not be necessary to use i
sulphur more than a short dis-1
tanee above the knees.
If you get "chiggers" and
take a hot bath, using strong,
soap, or rub strong salt solution
over the parts liable to be af-!
fected within an hour or two, '
the "chiggers" will be killed;
and washed off. This remedy, :
however, does little good unless
it is applied before the "chig- J
gers" begin to do business.
Once in the skin, his honor, ;
the "chigger," produces an irritating
acid as he drinks your

the loss of blood that makes you
scratch. To overcome this, the
best thing we know is to bathe
the skin in a rather strong ammonia
solution. That neutralizes

"SUICIDE SYMPHONY.*
Frederick Nietzsche agreed with
those who found do inspiration in
music. Indeed, he regarded music
as a Derre poison, and declared that
some music?particularly that of
Wagner and Tsehaikowsky?deranged
the minds of many who
heard it. Tschaiko* sky killed himself

"Sixth Symphony." which,' as eev1
