For more than a year the habit of self-denial has been practiced by the American people. Whatever may have been wanted either in the home, the farm or the shop, the ''nclination has been to refrain from purchasing. To save, not to spend, has been the rule. The moment has come to reverse the practice. The slogan vhich will lead to prosperity is "buy it Now!" Never was it truer than at this moment that the prosperity of this people is in their own hands. By their own act they can hasten the end of the existing depression and speed the arrival ol unexampled prosperity. That end and that arrival are certain to come in any event, but a widespread determination to cast tiff the fetters wlyeh doubt ana apprehension have put upon us in the past will hasten the day. The war, coining fast on tht heels of new tariff legislation, spread far and wide the seeds of business distrust and individual apprehension of hard times. Thrift, a virtue in its place, was carried to the point at which it became vice. Prudence developed into niggardliness; men ordinarily forehanded became misers; the ancient maxim was amended to read; "Take care of the pennies and lock up the dollars out of use." The result has been a financial stringency now happily fast disappearing, and business depression for which no reason longer exists. It is time for people again to resume the habits of iife and of business which characterized Americans before this depression set in. We do not counsel extravagance, but we insist that niggardliness is no longer either necessary or helpful?not even to the person r r s . practicing it. it every reader of this paper, for example, would loosen to the channel of trade $10 in the next two weeks for things they really need, but have, through fear of the future, been trying to do without, they would be better off, business would be appreciably stimulated, and its revival felt by those who contributed to it. - Selected. Fighting the Potato Bug. That common pest, the potato bug, is now requiring attention in South Carolina potato fields and vegetable gardens, according to A. F. Conradi, entomologist at Ciemson college. For the sake of the State's spuds, he describes rv> i^t U/A/Jf iitnmn/r urni* An ^1\a IIICWIIUUO UI W I ?i#S WVC4I Mil tuc bug. "There are two forms of poison for killing the potato bug." says Prof. Conradi. "The best is arsenate of lead. Paris green is also extensively used. Arsenate of lead is purchased in two forms, paste and powder. The powder is recommended because it is more easily handled, cannot freeze and cannot dry up. For large areas this powder is used at the rate of one pound to 50 gallons of water. Ip making up arsenate of lead or Paris green solutions, always stir the poison nkM&3?a2Lifev:Mr. L V . fv* with a little water to the thickness of whitewash before it is added to the bulk of water. Paris green is made up in the same way as arsenate of lead, except that the rate is 1-4 pound of Paris green to 50 gallons of water." Nr. Crayton's Father Dead. Mr. W. P. Cray ton, of this city, Tuesday morning received a telegram announcing the death in Columbia of his father, Mr. U. S. Crayton, which occurred Tuesday night. Mr. Crayton was ill for several weeks, but it was not known here that his condition had become so serious and the announcement of his death came as a great shock. Mr. Crayton was nearly 70 years of age and is survived by several children. For some time he had made his home in Columt_ 1 j v a if t~v uia, wnere a aaugnter, ivirs. u. H. Plott, resides. The remains were taken yesterday to Charlotte for burial. Cyclone Near the Dam. R. A. Minter, tvho lives neai the Catawba dam, was in the city Saturday. He stated that a cyclone passed over this section Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock, uprooting a number of trees and damaging a number of barns and small buildings. So far as could be learned there were no persons injured. Mr. Minter says the funnel shape of the cyclone could be distinctly observed. It dipped near his residence and pulled up two immense trees. It then rose and passed over his house, dipping again a short distance beyond. It was an awe-inspiring spectacle, spid Mr. Minter. The area affected was only about a quarter of a mile in width, though he did not know how far the cyclone traveled. It wi s . going in the direction of the bridge over the Catawba, when - A- J * _ it passea irom view. Public School Closing.

Miss Mabel Smith is in Rock Hill ^his week attending the Chautauqua. Hyperion. Gold Hill, May 11. J Busy W.ek for Submarines. The Lusitatia, sunk Friday off the Irish coast, was the 29th vessel to be sunk or damaged in the first week of May in the German war zone about the British Isles. Most of the vessels were torpedoed by German submarines, although in some cases it had not been established whether the damage was inflicted by mines or underwater boats. During the fortnight closing on Saturday, German submarines have carried on the most active campaign of any time since the war began. Sixteen of the 29 vessels were British trawlers. There were four British and one French merchantmen in the list. The others were vessels of neutral nations. One of the vessels sunk was the American steamer Gulflight, which was torpedoed off Sicilly Islands May 1, with the loss of 1! unee lives.
