The Progressive Farmer urges the farmers of the South not to be so eager to sell their horses and mules, quoting a Georgia weekly to the effect that experience shows that these ani Imals always are higher after a war than they were before. The demand created by the v war in Europe is very strong, and prices for animals which come within the very rigid specifications are good. The Progressive Farmer says it is a well known fact that the earnings of the farmers of any community are usually in proportion to the number of horses they keep. Of course, it is poor economy to keep horses and mules to a number beyond those needed, for idleness for them means a heavy expense without any return! It is likely, however, that did our Southern farmers use more horses and mules they not only would inrri?nRP rViPir (rrnss inonmoa Hnf their net profits as well. Handwork on a farm is expensive labor, and as a general proposition, it is safe to say, selling off horses and mules is bad management. Crowns and military genius may bring greatness to kings and emperors and generals, but there are heights to which even they may not aspire. They cannot edit a country newspaper. There is no Retting away from the fact that your business will not boost you unless you boost your business. Printer's ink is some booster. 0 Many a Rood politician has been spoiled in the making of a poor preacher.

The market was more responsive to buying than to selling and at no time were prices under the prior week's close. At. their best they were 39 to 31 r points over last week's finals while the close was at a net gain of 19 points. ; ?ell Poultry by Weight. ' F. C. Hare, poultry husbandman of Clemson college, is urging facers and poultrymen in South Carolina to sell poultry by 1 ^veight and riot by the piece or Bmur. This, h? says, is the only , I ' \ prqiuiaoie way. selling fowls by j I the pair. Mr. Hare says, isusualI ly unfair to either the buyer orl I seller. In several communities, I there has been a movement re- j I com iy to adopt the practice of; I aatlia* by weight, | mk New Law as to Narcotics. Druggists, physicians, den- j tists, veterinarians and hospital authorities throughout the coun- ] try have received the first in- i stallment of printed matter ; relative to the Harrison act, an 1 act of federal legislation, which < makes it unlawful on arid after ? March 1 for any person, firm or corporation, to produce, import, ( manufacture, deai in, dispense, sell or give away narcotics drugs] j or drugs containing more than a certain percentage of opium, morphine, heroin, codeine, etc., or their derivatives, unless such ' person, firm or corporation has | registered his name, place of business and place or places where such business is to be carried on, with the collector of 1 internal revenue of his district, ; and paid a special tax of .$1 and otherwise complied with the provisions of the act.

Prophesy of a great tidal wave soon to wipe %the continent of North America off the map. except a fortunate few who will gather on Lookout Mountain, was sent to Mayor Thompson by T. A. Teate of Thomasville, Ga., says the Chattanooga Times. Teate says that he had a dream and that it was an inspiration i for him to warn the people of the inpending disaster. His letter to the mayor follows: "Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 17, 1915?To the Hon. Mayor, Chattanooga, Tenn. My Dear Sir: I have for some time been considerably wrought up over a dream that I had more than a year ago, and as 1 firmly believe that this dream was an inspiration to me to warn the people of the present generation of a great deluge .that is shortly to blot us off of the earth, by a disastrous tidal jyave, I am writing you, as vour citv was seen in this rlrpnm and also Lookout Mountain, and the mountain was the spot on which a great" many people were saved from the great disaster, This dream has been typewritten more than a year and it gives the date of the great volcanic upheaval in midocean. If you have any faith in such warnings, and you want to see this dream and read it, I will mail it to you, if you will promise to return it! after doing so. I am willing for you to show it to one of your best newspapers there and if you and him think well of it and he wants to, he can let it appear j in his paper as a warning to your city to prepare for the event, that some flesh may be spared to again replenish the new earth. Yours very truly. "T. A. Teate." General orders for the annual inspection of the National Guard of South Carolina have been sent out to all company commanders from the office of W. W. Moore, adjutant general. The inspections are to begin next Monday at Edgefield. The inspection of the Fort Mill company *ill be held on Friday, March 2& ! Yorl County News Items. ' * (Yorkvillc Enquirer.) Ed Cowser, a negro boy, was 1 placed in the county jail last night charged with the theft of 1 i watch, the property of Mr. W. M. Whitesides of Hickory jrove No. 2. The watch was stolen last Wednesday. Supervisor Boyd, Commissioners Smith and 9Jackson and Engineer Miller went out today to inspect the Yorkville and Rock Hill road to Fishing creek with a view to getting an idea as to the work to be done in connection with the rebuilding that is soon to be commenced. The home of Mr. Hugh Wallace who lives on Filbert No. 1, was destroyed by fire between seven and e*ght o'clock Tuesday night. The origin of the fire is unknown, neither Mr. Wallace nor any of his family being at home at the time. None of the contents were saved. The house, which is the property of Mr. John Hartness, was insured. It is not likely that there will be any large steel bridges built in York county this year for the simple reason that there is no money with which to build. Asked yesterday if any bridges similar to that built over Fishing Creek on the Saluda road near Rock Hill, would be constructed this year, Supervisor Boyd said that it was not likely. Although steel bridges are needed over one or two streams in the county the financial condition of the county will not permit such expenditure. Interested Over Appointments.
