Buy It Now.
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_

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

bridge over the Catawba, when

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.
