Ilenjamlu | K.\nn Tillman, the "pitchfork" aena*| tor from South ( "a rollmi, Is not to re- j tiro from tin* senate. Ho has been here fur more than 20 years and In likely t<? tn> here many more years, from proM'iit Imllea ? Ions, despite that the woods of the Palmetto State are full of candidates chewing on their political hits. In many respects there ha.s never Immmi a more unique member in eith er house of congress than the afore said llcnjamin Ityan Tillman of Tren ton. S. and last year when It be came noised around and about the halls of the Capitol in Washington that, having already served his State both as governor and as senator, hi the latter phu-e for almost a quarter, century. he might quit the hurly-burly of polities apd retire to his big acres of, cotton and his asparagus tlelds at home there were many who were simulat ing who would succeed him. They reckoned that this South Carolina senator would have a big hole to fill and that it would take a mighty big man to do it. Hut they believed he had seen enough of public life and would be satisfied with what he had already done since taking up the gov ernorship of South ?'arolina many years ago. From present Indications the senior senator from South Carolina is not going to retire any time soon. The best indication that there will ho none of this retirement business with Sen ator Tillman during the present year, at which time he must come airaln before the people of South Carolina for re-elect Ion. is that no man with such bbvis in his head would l>e en lnr.'f ng );'s j>wi!(l<"ai workshop fifi Senator Tillman is now doing in Washington. For the last two or thn?o years, or since he became chairman of the wen ate committee on na\nr affalrM. Sena for Tillman has occupied two rather ?mall room? at one corner of the sen ate end of the capjtol. Now. however, he has secured, in n^ltlon to these, two room*, one of large size, which would easily swallow throe or four of the others, this new one being hand somely equipped with iwvel edge mir rors, chandeliers that fairly sparkle with brilliance, and furniture, the equal of which no committee room in congress can boasr. In ? word, the new addition to the _ Senator's quarters Is most magnificent in ap pointment. Proud as he is. however, of the bevel edge mirrors, the sparkling chandeliers or the magnificent furni ture that go to make up the equip ment of this new committee room. Senator Tillman's real new pleapnre comes wheji he makes his visitors acquainted with two young ladles from South Carolina, Miss lic.mbert and Miss Welkert. These young ladles, the senator explained today, will not supplant the man power force already In his office, but they will fill a much needed want In helping to work off the big daily mall that accumulates on the senator's desk. "Yes sir," Senator Tillman said to I (lay with all of his old Hum tire, | "Um-ho young ladles just insisted ttoat I hoy had to have all I hose now thing* If they wort* to wor* for mo, ho knowing I hoy would got them in tho end ! set about to ha vo more room and now yon win- all thane new things, the girls have put In. 1 reckon It will l>e a small sized palace when tfiey wot done fixing it up, and then It would ho none hOO gcssl for fhoin. They are Wire Kirls and m**d fluW things." All of these evidences t?f renewed activity on tSenator Tillman's jxut leave do room to douht that In his own mind he has nettled tho question as to whether or not ho will retire from the poll t lea I a mm of South Carolina, lie who rujjs may read.

Fat Anne, the cig a ret to Mend, the 1 lulu Hula girls and Itouo, who eats 'om alive ? all must se??k other climes in which to disport themselves to tho edification of South Carolina rustics. Senator Allan Johnstone's hill pro hibiting i ho presentation of such shows within live miles of any agri cultural fair In the state was passed without the shedding of a tear of the raiding of a finger. Senator Williams of Alkon, had an amendment Inserted which will iH'rinlt the giving of such exhibitions where the executive olli eer <>f the fair signs a request for Uiein ami (lies that request with the >herl(T of the county. This may help some In view of the fact that man agers of fairs may consider such shows worth while in increasing their own patronage. Turkish Cruisers Sunk. Loudon. Jan. i?0. ? In a naval action l>et \\ eon British and Turkish forces at the entrance to the Dardanelles, the Turkish cruiser Mldnlluah, formerly t In* German Rreslau, was sunk and the .Sultan Sell in, formerly the Ger man GocIkmi, was beaolied. The German cruisers Breslau and CoelMMi were in the Mediterranean at the outbreak of t he war and tied into the Dardanelles, s<?eklng safety from Ihe British and French warships. Since then their activities iti the Dar danelles at ?the Black Sea entrance to the Bosphoms and in the Black sea along the Turkish, Asiatic, Russian ami Roumanian coasts have brought them fame for intrepidity second not even to the German sea wolves, like the Dresden. Steadier and the Karls ruhe. Death. George W. Mouzon, a neero phar maeist, employed at the People's Phar macy on South Main Street, died last Thursday nli?ht nfu>r nn illness o? two weeks.

A representative of the government was at the Camden j?ostotllce this week for the purpose of helping out those who are entitled to pay income taxes. His work is not finished here and he; will return during the week l>oginnlng February 4th.

If it suits her pocketbook the next question Is, "Do you guarantee them?" j Recentiy a fastidious young thing fhit- j tered her way down the lingerie aisle of a New York emporium and halted before a counter whereon was heaped whAt the advertisement writers term robes du nult, but which facetious per sons call "nighties.** The young worn- i an gurgled with delight. After satf* fylng herself that they were all tight she Inquired the price. Then she hesl tnted for a moment and out came the old stereotyped question : "Do you guarantee them?" "Certainly, ma'am," replied the clerk glibly, "you can't wear | them onf About Cleanliness. How much there is In habit and training! It is considered the helglith of Ill-breeding to take up food with the fingers, and yet there are nations which eat with their fingers, and de- i ? fend the practice on the ground of , cleanliness.

"I beg your pardon." snld the guest, "but I was about to make the same re mark about your fingers."

MOON INFLUENCE IS ABSURD Phases of the Great Night Illuminator Havo Nothing to Do With Crops, Say Scientists. In tho farmers' almanacs you will find tables of dates proper for plant ing crops, killing hogs and so on based upon the phases of tho moon. And the Itural New Yorker is authority for the statement that many farmers still adhere faithfully to this ancient sys tem. To show them how absurd this is, It prints tho following statement by C. P. Marvin, chief of the United States weather bureau : "It !s the general belief of scientists that the moon has no appreciable in fluence on temperature, rainfall, or uny other weather element, or on plunt growth. "Plant growth depends upon temper ature, light, humidity and plantfood (both in the soil and In the air), and its avidlabllity. Obviously the moon neither mellows the ground nor fer tilizes It, neither does it alter the com position of the atmosphere ; hence it affects neither the mechanical condi tion of the soil nor the kind or quan tity of available plantfood. "If the moon has any Influence on piMiil Krowth it would seem that It must exert this Influence through Its light. Experiment however, shows that when a plant is so shadowed that it gets only one one-hundredth of nor mal daylight, it grows but little better than it does in absolute darkness. Full daylight Is about 000,000 times bright er than full moonlight ; hence one one hundredth of daylight, already too fee ble to stimulate appreciably plant ac tivity, is still 6,000 times brighter than full moonlight. The conclusion is that, even in respect to light stimulus, the moon's influence on plant growth la wholly negligible." Work and the Busy World. Are you one of the persons who can not work in a crowd T If you are, you are a most unfortunate person, for it 1 3 a fact that in this busy age most of us have to learn to do our work wherever we may happen to \>e. It is seldom that we find it possibly to work in seclusion, shut away from the noise and rush of business, observes an effi ciency engineer. Most large business concerns are beehives of activity. Unless one can find it possible to concentrate on the work In hand, even in the midst of confusion, it is plain to see that much time will be lost and much energy wasted In this rushing world, where each one fnces many duties In many lines of activity. Soya Beans as Food.' The Soya bean promises to bec#ne one of the most Important food mafb rials of the vegetable kingdom, de clares the Pathfinder. Milk In either a powdered or a liquid form is being produced from It, the oil can be hard ened Into on edible fat or used satis factorily as a substitute for linseed oil, the beans in the natural etnte make a palatable, nutritious dish when properly cooked, and the pulp which remains after the oil has been ex pressed is excellent for feeding to live stock. To Wax Floors. Apply by means of a flannel cloth beeswax which has been thinned with turpentine. Then rub into the floor well. This is a hard wax and can hardly be applied without the turpen tine, but the latter quickly evaporates and the wax then forms a very dur able flr:*h. If one has no beeswax, paraffin wax will do Just ss well, but It is less durable. Every pquni goes much A POUND o* A old style hulls ooa v tains about H pound of real ' roughage and about JkTpoujad ... of lint. After being eaten. . the pld style hulls swell to twice' the weight, or 1 yf pounds. A pound of eortoNseei HULLS UNTLKS8 also doubles after being eaten but as they are 100 per cent roughage, the original pound becomes 2 pound*? not V/2 pounds. Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third again as far as a pound of old style bulls. In other words, you only have to feed ^ pound of Buckeye Hulls to give the same food value as a full pound of old style hulls. Other Advantage* Buckeye Hulls cost much less per No trash or dust. ton than old style hulls. Sacked ? easy to handle. Buckeye Hulls allow better as- They mix well with other forage, sanitation of other food. They take less epace in the barn. Mr. Ben Faulk , Dothan, Ala., prefers Buckeye Mulls to old style hulls because cows like them as well, they are cheaper , they agree with the cows, and they go farther, one tack lasting as long as .. two sacks of the old style . | -Ny ^ To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the haBa thoroughly twelve hour* before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning (or the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feed* Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used In the South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat* tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill. D*pt.
