Crime growing out of Christmas and New Year celebrations, and accident* lo this state resulted In tho deaths of 21 persons and Injuries to 1(1 others, a<t*u>rding to a compilation made from rc|>orts printed during that period )n South Carolina newspapers. Two sui cides also occurred In the state during Christmas week. The farmer who puts away his farm maehlnery without oiling and cleaning it la certain to lose In the deterioration ?f the machinery v#many times what the time to care for It would have heon worth. Failure to take care of farm machinery Is, according to Cleiusbn, a lajuo sourco of loss to the American farmer annually. FOK CLKAN ADVKKTINING. Solicitor W. II. Lamar, of the post ofllco department, in his annual report gives due credit to the nowapapers for the assistance given the deiMirtment in tlie matter suppressing false and fraudulent advertising and exposing the men who would prey upon the public hy such nefarious publicity. The report states that during the year ehdlng June .'10 forty-live such con cerns were put out of business by the postplilce department. In a great num ber of cases the suppressing of these concerns was7 directly due to the work of the newspai>ers in exposing them. In the course of his report Mr. Lamar says : "It Is a pleasure to state that there is a growing class of advertising man agers and publishers wl*> take the ih> sition that clean, honest advertising alone should be accepted ; that as a matter of good morals the publishers can permit no other kind of advertis ing and that as a matter of business It will pay the publishers to keep their advertising columns (Jenn and permit no deception to be practiced upon tholr 1 readers." ?

We would be glad to have a correspondent in every section of the county send us the news. The only thing required of writers is that they sign their names to their articles ? not for publication, but so that we may know who they are. There will very likely be >qtiite a number from this county to attend the Inauguration or Hon.

Thirteen hundred and ttfty miles of eggs were" sblpiHMl from Morrlstown during 11)14. The recdrds of the Southern Hall way company show a total of '125 solid trai^, gfcipped during the year. These contained a total of 130,000 cases or 40,800,000 eggs. When tile shliHuents in mixed cars aud by express aijd par cel jx)st are added the total is |n ox cess of flfty million eggs, worth at the average retail price more than $1, 250,000. Laid end to end lu a straight line these eggs would cover a distance of J 1,380 miles, or the distance from Mor rlstown to. the Panama canal, from Morrlstown to the Gulf of St. Law rence, or from Morrlstown to El Paso, Tex. Or they would extend from New Orleans to the northern shore of Lake Superior or from Jacksonville, Flu., to Bangor* Me. , 178 cars of live poultry, 53 ears "of dressed fowls and a large humbef of small lots sent by freight and express have been shipped during the year, the total of solid cars of poultry and eggs being 883. 4 ' . The total value of poultry products shipped during 1014 is well over the $2,000,000 record of last year, although market conditions have been less fa vorable. The broiler Industry has probably suffered more from adverse conditions than any other branch of the poultry business. Packers selling the bulk of their product to steamship "companies have been compelled to seek other mar kets. because, of the interference of the Furopean war with ocean travel. Mor rlstown milk-fed broilers are now serv ed on dining cars and in large city ho tels throughout the eastern half of the United States. The production of sterile eggs on the farms specializing in this new and promising branch of the industry has been materially increased and good prices prevailed thruout the year. Fanciers report a considerable in crease In the demand for breeding fowls, exhibition birds, and eggs for hatching, several breeders having sold all their surplus fowls and booked or ders ahead for delivery next season. I'. K. Seybt, a prominent farmer of Anderson county, committed suicide Monday afternoon by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. He took his own life in the presence of his wife and children. Dr. Frank B. Mower,- of Newberry, has been named afttdstant physician at the state Hospital for the insane. | Family in a Had Plight. The Columbia State one Way lust week published tin1 following: "A man walked into a Columbia store and called for a sack of flour. Securing It be was about to walk out when tb?' clerk reminded him that he bad not paid for the purchase. "No. I have not paid and I- can not pay," was the reply, "but I must have the flour. There is nothing to eat in my bouse and my children are starving. I am going to have the flour." "The clerk protested that he was powerless to allow the flour to go with out money in exchange and suggested an appeal to the proprietor, when two traveling men standing nearby offer ed to complete the transaction by mak ing the payment. "The man invited his benefactors to accompany him to bis home and see If he spoke truly when he said his children were hungry. The wife, ac cording to the story did not. wait to open the sack but slashed a hole in It with a knife and began to knead if into dough preparatory to baking bread. The children crowded around the table and began to eat the raw dough, scorning the increased satisfac tion of having bread after the neces sary delay of cooking. "Tills was a case of a man in the grip of misfortune who was not will ing to appeal to the charitable or ganizations of the city. "The man who told this story also knew of a family which has cut it* allowance of meals to one a day on the ground tliat one will go three times as far as three." Trespass Notice.
