It is a battle which involves the town’s single industry, the great mill for exodus. Many families, living in mill-owned houses, took their former employers at their word and left tow’n. Others remained and prepared to bat tle. The union heads, anxious to aid those who would stay and fight it out, erected the nucleus of a “tent city” on property on the Durham side of the tow’n.

These statistics reflect the tendency of farmers to diversify. It is in the farmers’ interest to produce several crops and not stake the year’s income on a single crop. The average Caro linian is likely surprised that the 1927 asp.'iragus value was $1,283,000; sugar cane and sorghum f^r -syrup, $2,266,- 500. South Carolina is adapted to the raising of many soi’ts of vegetables and fruits.

It is well known t!»it Geor gia, Florida and 'Alabama produce much, of the .syrups sold in South Car olina stores. This slate can be self-sustaining if its farmers so will, and larger crops in wider variety will keep wdthin the Like many old sayings, “cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness,” is well founded in truth, although in the six teenth century when John Wesley, I founder of the Methodist Church, j spoke those words in one of his ser- , mons, a bath was considered extreme- ' ly foppish and a bath-tub a needless luxury. In many countries that idea still exists, especially in those locali ties where water, even for drinking, is at a premium. It is hard frr us, who simply have to turn on a faucet and clear, pure water gushes forth^ to imagine a sit uation of that kind. And yet we—with billions of gallons of bathing and drinking water constantly at our dis posal—do not take advantage of such good fortune. Many people, of course, bathe because they have a natural ab- j horrence of dirt and because a bath is ' refreshing. Too few, however, realize what a salient factor water is in main- ; taining and promoting general good i health. js y ! The truth^s thit bathing is an ab solute necessity. It is a powerful ene my of disease and a prolonger of life. And it modus operand! is simple and convincing. The daily bath keeps the pores free from clogging anl permits them to throw off impurities the system has a(cunuil;i*cd in going about the busi ness r>f life. The pores must also ; biojulic . and in order to do this they .n-j.st ii kepi clear, active and clastic. from the disease prevention insured by ba.hing, the use of both hot and cold water has many curative effects that intelligent people over look. A hot bath relaxes the tissues and blood vessels and relieves conges tion. A cold batn speeds up circula tion and tones up the tissues and mus cles in general, while the sitz bath, hot or told, provides an excellent rtieans of relieving many internal weaknesses and disorders to which both sexes are subject. Then there is the internal bath which is equally, if not still more im portant. There are people who make a prac tice of taking a physic every so often not the natural physic such as fruit juices, quantities of w'ater, etc., but powerful purgatives that irritate the membranes and do' not begin to cleanse. They call this “a good clean ing oat.” Such -a procedure is nearly always followed by a period of con stipation. As against this bad habit we have the more simple, cleanly and hygienic process of flushing out the bowels v.'ith warm 'w’ater. (Do not confuse this with the enema taken to relieve constipation. That kind of enema should be taken only in case of an emergency. If you are a sufferer of '•hronic constipation you need an im- iftediate and radical change of diet.) Hut the enema-bath is only part of t^be interna! bath. There is the entire iig'e,"tive tract that needs .washing ft this is best acc'implished through '>rinki;(g quantiiies of water after .a short period of fasting.. Much ill health coul 1 be avoided if the average ’‘nd'vidua! would remember to drink 'ix g’asses of Avater a day; more is still better. Water never hurt anyone —inside or out.
