The following creed, which is being adopted as the slogan of various boys' and girls' clubs throughout the rural sections of the United States, shows that the thought of the country is life being directed into its natural channels: "I believe that the country which God made is more beautiful than the city v, hich man made; that life out of doors and in touch with the earth is the natural life of man. 1 believe that work is wor! wherever I find it, but that work with nature is more inspiring than work with the most intricate machinery. 1 believe that the diivmtir /\ f Inlw.M d rt ? .1 >< M a! lilKilliy "1 JilWUI UC^IVI1U?

When your work comes hard, when your nerves are a-quiver, when you seem to be plodding up and down in a treadmill?open the windows. What you need is a dose of fresh air tonic.

' You think you are not appreciated. that your best efforts all end in failure, that life is a long burden and not worth living. Open your windows. You have no time not to. You think the fresh air will give you a cold. It will not; it will give you a warm. It will stir up all your dormant energies, it will quicken your blood, it will stimulate your nervous system, it will invigorate your mind, it will cheer yourj soul. [ The modern method of solving agricultural problems by investigating them, not only in the laboratory, but also on the farm j in co-operation with the farmer, has given such admirable results that it is to be applied to the anti-hog-cholera crusade. Congress has appropriated a half million dollars to carry on the work and experiments will be made in all parts of the United States. The aim will be not only to exterminate the disease in the test sections, but also to discover the most practical, efficient and economical methods j ior continuing me worK tnroughout the country. This investigation will fill a long-felt want in South Carolina, as the hog death rate in this State from cholera is 65 per 1000 head, and hog raisers are losing an average of 51,000 hogs, valued at $464,000 from this disease annually. Many persons have wondered how the new whiskey law could be enforced; how the records could be kept and by whom so, that the officers might know whether or not any person or persons are violating the law. For their own information the agents of the Southern Express company are being required by the company to place the consignees or receivers of packages of whiskey on their honor; the company is requiring them to sign a receipt for the shipment, at the same time declaring that they are living within the law. The receipt goes to release the company and at the same time makes a complete record of the shipments of liquor. To avoid trouble, the public in general should take cognizance jf the new State law which prolibits the purchase and discount of trade checks for laborers' wages. Violation of this act is made a misdemeanor, punishaible by a fine not exceeding $100, or imprisonment not exceeding .'10 days. Items of State News. R. G.

Calvin, livestock demonstrator of the United StfatPfi flpnnrtmpnt o?r?*ir>iil vrvvv-w Mwfyvk v?*> V V* 1*^1 IVUI ture, was here the last week and, with the assistance of Mr. John J. Bailes. canvassed the livestock raisers of the community in an effort to induce them to set aside certain of their tiogs and cattle to be ted and cared for under his direction and later marketed on foot. The proposition seemed so attractive tiiat promises of about 50 hogs were secured from about six farmers and in all probability the number will be increased when the advantages are actually demonstrated. At any rate the movement is a stimulus to those already engaged in raising hogs for the market and will no doubt encourage others to do likewise. Old newspaper* for Hale at The Times office.
