The People Are Wine. Not within our recollection has there been hucIi a npinlng up and down the state of would-be statesmen big and llttlo, on sj>eceh-making expeditions as there has l?eeU this summer. Every where and every time u little crowd could be Induced to gather In a grove or In a hall an orator with a message haw been on hand to shoot hot air Int.#- theni and to expatiate oil what a great frleifil of the j>eople the orator is and expects to be. The orators have been various and numerous, and their message^ peculiar and variegated. The dear people have l?een presumed to be oblivious to any suggestion that the orators were animated by any mo tive other than a fervant desire to car ry a message of light ami cheer to the .benighted masses. That W Whaf-ttw? orators imagine, but as a matted of fact the people are wtee to the game? They know that these self-elected evan gels are office seekers, making an off year campaign. The orators think that every time they deliver a eonimence ment address at the closing exercises r , " ''' of a one-teaclier Nchool or tell a far mers' meeting, composed of half a dozen absentee landlords how to make their land* blossom like the rose by planting legumes and practicing rota tion, they have subtllely laid Wires that wll pull them Into fat offices next year. But the public knows what the orators are after as well as they do themselves, and many of the supposed ly Innocently Ignorant folks, who are l>elng fed on indltlcal slops at com mencements and picnics, are laughing in their sleeves at the antics of the off-year politicians. Make a list of the leading citizens and favorite sons who have made the spring and summer hideous by their over production of canned wisdom and farmers' bulletin eloquence and you will have a census of the fellows who will he trying to save the state and nation next year by getting elected to office. These prom inent citizens would not l?e neglecting their business, if they have any, and paying good money for railroad fare. Unless they believed, or, at the least hoped, there would be a substantial come-back for the bread cast upon the waters. All this stir among the pros I>cctlvo candidates pressages a big tleld and a hot campaign next year. ? Sum ter Item. Gov. Manning has Invited the chief executives of 15 states to attend the Southern Commercial (Ingres, which will be held In Charleston In Deccm. ber. Hev. W. H. MeCart, was acquitted at Covington, tin.. Tuesday of the mur der of Monroe Smith, a neighbor, forty five years ago. McCart tied Immedi ately after the killing and recently re turned from Hawaii, where he has been a missionary. An unsuccessful attempt was made Tuesday to blow up the home of J. l>. Padgett, at Dallas, Tex. Padgett was an official of the Padgett Saddlery Co. The company was filling war contracts for the Allies. The outrage is said to have been the work of (icrmnn sym pathizers.

"I am a faithful reader of your pa l>er, and have Iweu xurprlsed to And in it no mention whatever, of certain outrages that have disturbed the i>eace of mind and pride of the respectable, law-abiding cltl/ens of Camden. "Several homes, in the abseftce of their ownerx, have been forcibly en teral and robbed. Yet nothing has ImU doiM) to punixh the housebreak ers, or to put a stop to their depreda tions. Nothing, buleed, is done to pro tect tlie projierty of good citizens, who, because of absence, can't protect them selves. Is it not a xhanie to our City? We uxed to shut up our houses and go away, knowing we would timl all safe on our return. Now, unchecked law lessness ninkes um fear to leave our homcH, not knowing whose may be broken into, robbed and damaged next. "What are our police doing? We pay them to protect uh ? our lives and our property ? yet they allow houses to be unlawfully entered and make no ar rests? take no precaution. What are our appointed guardians doing? Can they do nothing but draw pay for do lug what they do not do? Are we property ownerx and tax payers to be helpless victims of thieves and house breakers? Is Camden to be held up to acorn? Is its leading newspaper to bo silent on these disgraceful doings? Or will It use the great power of the press to right wrong, to restore law and order and to make our home town wliat it has always been to us? a source of peace and pride?" Tuesday's War Summary. There is. a comparatively lull in the lighting I" Southeastern Poland, rncas u red by last week'8 vicious combats, Jiyt, there has . l>evn. no jlimlnutitm in Uttrman attacks northwest of Warsaw and northward of this region over the Polish l>order in the Governments of Kpvno and Courland. Along the Narew river, despite' ob stinate resistance, the Germans have forced a crossing, above and below the fortress of Ostrelenka. Tiie Russians are being pushed back slowly toward the Bug river and the Germans are advancing towards the fort I flcat ions of Novogeorglevsk and Warsaw. O . . < A German air raid on the Vistula bridge at Warsaw was without mate rial result, but several civilians were killed. In Southeastern Poland the Germans claim capture of a large number of Russians and minor gains in the Ghelm Lublin region. , . The advance of Germans 'southward from Courlaiul through Kovno, evi dently aiming to capture railway lines leading to Petrograd. thus cutting off direct rail communications between the Russian and Polish capitals, is making fair headway. Fighting in the west still consists mainly of artillery engagements nnd sapping operations, in which neither side has made material gains. Fierce lighting continnes on the east ern sectors of the Austro- Italian front, especially on the Poberdo plateau, where the Italians have attacked re lentlessly, but, a wording to Vienna, have obtained only temporary local suc cesses, which the Austrlans afterward counterbalanced by recapturing their original positions. TiF the region of Kron the Italians are declared to have suffered heavy losses from the Austrian artillery, af ter having been repulsed In band to hand fighting. In which the Austrlans rolled boulders down the mountain side on their foes. An Austrian aviator has drop|>ed bombs on Verona. Ixmdon announces fresh successes for the British against the Turks along the Euphrates River and the capture of the town of Naslrlyeh. Five hun dred Turks were slain in front of the main position and several hundred cap tured. The British, however, did not gain the victory unscathed. Their cas-, naltles numbered l>otween 300 and 400. Mrs. Win. King and little son, of Chester, the family of Mr. King, who is manager of the Camden Oil Mill, have arrived.

Clemson College Weekly Notes For Farmer and Dairyman. " (These notes are prepared weekly by the Dairy Division of Clemson JCol^ lege which will be glad to answefr any questions pertaining io dairying.) i Cottage cheese is one of the l>est> hot weather dishes for supper. lie sure to milk with dry tulhds. Dipping fingers in the milk mean:* dir ty milk. Milk fast and milk the cow dry. * A calf never sucks slowly and never leaves any milk if possible. . A good huttermaker deserves "a good wage and will always get it ? from somebody.* How much do you pay your milkers? There is no work more important. Cheap milkers ruin cows and get less milk. It is a good plan to feed the cow her grain while milking. It is best to feed grain and roughage separately* A pasture of burr clover and Ber muda grass and a silo full of silage make the dairyman Independent of the weather. ' ; ? . . . If you are going to have to depend on root crops this winter, plant an acre of rutabaga turnips.1 This is a good time for planting. __ Buttermilk should be sold wherever cream is sold. Arrange to supply the l>eople in your town with good butter milk. Remember that now is the time to get your burr clover seed to plant on your Bermuda Sod. There is a good pupply of burr clover seed in South Carolina this year. _ .... % A change of milkers means a change In the manner of milking and a loss of milk until the cow becomes accus tomed to the new milker. Butter is one of the oldest articles of food. Do you eat good butter or poor butter? ' Good butteo Is easy to make when you know how and will al ways sell well. Poor butter is hard to sell. It Is better to cooperate and pur chase good bulls so as to get better blood in your herd than to cooperate to try to hold up the price of milk produced by poor cows.
