'Mm* "Home Coming Mftlon" of The I.ipicuHtcr News of Tuesday contained 21 jtaKt'H and wan a Illicitly credit able ??<! 1 1 Uni of that excellent semi -weekly. It wan filled with attractive advertising of the live ami |iro^n?sslve men-hunts of I*aiicanter. A ajiecial train will In? run over the HvUthcru on Tuesday, August H?th, and no donht a good crowd from Camden will go to Lan caster. A certain ex-governor would have President Wilson tell Kngland : "Damn you, If you don't atop taking our cot ton we will ntoj> you I" And then we HtipitoHo he would huvc him disband the mllltla ; get his red Ink into play and resign. It looks rather early for all this talk about probable candidates to o|> Itose (Iovernor Manning next Mummer. We Iwlleve the great majority of the voters who elected (iovernor Manning are satisfied with ids administration, or at leant, it Is so much better than we have been used to that they do not want a change. The biggest howlers are the fellows who were defeated last August. Watch the line up! Many i>eople complain dally of the dangers from reckless drivers around the corner of I>eKalb ami Broad' street. Unless something is done by the city to reduce the speed of motor vehicles at this corner' a serious accident is looked for. Because a mnn owns an auto It does not license him to en danger the lives of his less fortunate brot hers. l'ress dispatches state that the Kais er has postponed his triumphant entry Into Warsaw. Whipping the Russians and making them stay whlp|>ed has Ikm'ii a big problem for (Jermony, and she will yet have lots to do. What the South and the nation de mand of Wilson is that he Induce or force Germany and (Jreat Britain to do what we want them to do without going to war with either. That is ex actly what Wilson Is trying to do and the country Is with him. He may succeed or he may find it a superhu man task. If such it should prove to be, then the South and the nation may Ih? dowii on Wilson. If he suc ceeds In his puri?osc to secure what we want from (ireat Brltian and (ler uiauy without the use of force, then it's bully for W'llson ! ? Wilmington. Star. VIA NORTH CAROLINA. The annual picnic at Filbert, In South Carolina, was hehl Thursday, anil there was the usual great gath ering of people, some from North Car olina. The star speakers were Hou. John L. McLaurln, Congressman I^ver, Congressman Flnley, Hon. W. F. Stev- i enson and Hon. Cole Ia. lileasc. Mr. McLaurln knocked England for "high handed arrogance." Mr. Flnley blamed both England and Germany and de clared the war Is raging because "these lieople in Europe have forgotten God." Sandwiched almost helplessly, Mr. I<ever was yet able to say a word for the American Administration. He "paid n glowing tribute to the sagacity, and determination and grit of Presi dent Wilson." Mr. Illease then gave a dressing down to the whole crowd. Including Uu? ?-?itgre**mett within renrh of his vohv. "What arc they doing," he asked. Ami he answered promptly "Nothing." These Congressmen, he ex plained, "are so interested in the lit tle bit of patronage WiUon Is holding' over them that thrv are nut even representing you. What you want to do is to assemble at your club meet ings and at your court houses and pass resolutions demanding that your Congressmen get busy. That will make them trot." Whereat, the crowd cheered. Another deliverance these Congressmen had to sit out was tb.iy : "The Administration at Washington \ not Democratic. It Is not a Govern-] went of the people, and Wilson is no friend of the South. He Is little more than an agent of England and a rep renentatlve of the money Interests of America, who does not do anything until after he gets instructions from J . rierpont Morgan. If he had any ? part of the Dfinrrncy of Thomas Jef fervon In his make-up, be would say to Kutfland ; Damn you. If yuu duii't atop taking <>ur eottun we will atop you!'"

Something Abo 'it the Material That Now Has Right of Way. The lady who asked ut the couiitry store for "powder" was met with the polite Query, "Face, gun or flea?" The llrHt and third varieties are still what they were of yore, hut the gunpowder i? really powder no longer, except when It Is used for the manufacture of fireworks. That used for the mod ern high-power artillery Is in the form of cylinders, sticks or blocks, some of them of considerable size. A single grain of the i>owder, >fm instance, for the great 16-iuch gun to be sot up at Panama is as big round as a broomstick and three inches long. Commits make their powder in strips that look like thick tape. They cut It off In lengths and tie it up in bundles which tit into thq breeches of their big guns. The lirltish" |k>wder is made In long sticks which looks like macaroni without the large single hole, S^ile the Freuch powder looks like flat pieces of chewing gum. - f The bigger the gun the bigger x the grain of powder. For the rifles the men carry, the grains are half as big as a plnhead ; for the largest guns they are three Inches Ion# and three-quar ters of an inch thick. Every graty is I>erforated lengthwise. Small grains have a single hole, while the larger sizes have seven. These holes* regulate in a wonderful way the rapidity with which the pon der will burnt If you light a scrap* "of paper all around the edge it will burn toward the center and the burning sur face will steadily decrease. If, how ever, you make a hole in the center of the paper and start the conflagra tion there the flame will steadily grow, and the most rapid burning will take place just before the fire has reached the outer edge. This is the exact prin ciple which governs the arrangement of the perforations in big gunpowder. The burning starts along the surface exposed by the perforations, and spreads always faster as the hole Is enlarged, burning faster at the Instant It is consumed. It is not intended that the charge in big guns shall exhaust It force in-, stantly. The beginning of the explo sion .starts the projectile on its way. The explosion continues, and as the projectile gains speed the force behind It continues to push." The powder is burning faster and pushes hardest at the Instant, the projectile reaches the mouth of the gun. At that Instant also It burns out and exhausts itself. Its work is done. It Is wonderful to reflect that gun powder Is almost pure cotton. It re quires but little juggling ? scientific jug gling to be sure ? to convert the harm less crop of the cottonfield Into the most effective of modern smokeless powders. Those big grains of cannon I>owder which look like pieces of stick candy are but cotton refined to this form and trented with nitrate. All nations make their powder of the same materials, the only difference be ing In the mechanical form the product takes. ?

For a 100 hushel bin, use 8 pounds or about one gallon, , ?. ?"! Apply the carbon bisulfide by sprink ling It over the surface of the grain in the barrel or bin. After sprinkling,] cover the top of the barrel or bin with heavy burlap or other like material to hold the fumes In. Leave this coyer! on for twenty-four hours or longer. Repeat this treatment after ten days or two weeks to destroy the young that hatch from eggs affer the first treat ment. In the late summer or early fall, "^ex amine the grain to see that ho rein festatlon has occurred. If the insects are present again, carbon bisulfide must again be used. Carbon bisulfide is highly lnflam able and fire of all sorts must be kept] away from it. It is dangerous even for a man who is smoking to go near] a wheat bin in which the material lias been sprinkled. Be sure to keep every form of fire away from the barrels or bins and from the vessel which holds the carbon bisulfide. ' Carbon bisulfide can be bought in 50-pound; and 100-pound drains for about 0 cents per pound, at an address which will be given by the Entomology Division, Clemson College. Drums must he stored in a cool place, away from every possible source of fire. TIMELY POINTERS FOR * ORCHARD AND GARDEN (Clemson College Bulletin.) It is time now to begin work on the fall and winter garden. r I'urehase seed now for your orchard cover crop. The clovers are especially recommended. <?ive rose bushes a thorough summeir] pruning and they will produce an abundant second crop of roses. It is a good plan to let the hogs run In the orchard for a little while every few days to pick up the fallen fruit See to it that no fruit or vegetables go to waste. Write to the Horticul tural Division, Clemson College, far Circular 27, "Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetables." The .best method of purchasing fruit trees is through your county demon stration agent Talk this matter over with him. He has made special ar rangements and can get trees at low prices. Ten vegetables that may be planted for fall use are beets, cabbage, cauli flower, celery, kale, onions, rutabagas, spinach, tomatoes and turnips. There is probably no farmer in the state who does not want to economize at this time of uncertainty. One of the surest ways to economize is to have a fall and winter garden, which will save many trips to the grocer's and many dollars of money. In prfictlclaly every w:tlon of South Carolina it is possible to grow vegeta bles the year round. With a well-ar ranged succession in the home garden, one can have fresh products on his table even in mid winter. Is this not I worth a little labors Police Reserves Called Out.
