On August 19th the voters of the county will be called upon to decide whether the present prohibition law will continue on the statute Ixaiks or the county dispensary be re established The editor has been asked a numlwr t>f times of late how he stands on this question Almost invariably we have replied that in this matter at least wr hive decided to followr the rule of our distinguished predecessor Major Holmes That is. we are hands off to how we intend to vote is a prrv>ra matter altogether and n.uid KsrvJ . m | terest an » one We wouid not attrrr'jt ' if or, rr roent to advise the [w«>j>4e h .w t \ fe and frinkU wr ha'd » t» >r \ r 'ha' our editor ia;oj.,n..>n • >u d h» • ■ rr. t , weight one w as ttu^igh the from Him all day Twenty drop# of carbolic acid dropped on a hot shovel or on any price of warm iron c eatas a vapor that laya met low. The common mignonette plant grown m jars and placed in a room makes things unpleas ant for flies A handy thing is the white clover. It is strange, but flies hate the odor of white clover. Have a little of this around in a vase and you will notice that the flies have business in the other direction. This clover should be renewed every day or so, for when it becomes dry it irritates the nostrils. A cheap and effective poison, but dangerous to human life, is bichro mate of potash in solution. One drachm dissolved in two ounces of sweetened water and placed in shallow dishes will call the long roll for any number of pests. Another remedy that for all purposes has few equals is a solution of formalin, or formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of this liquid in a (juarter of a pint of water left exposed in a room will make the flies scarce in a very short time. Flies are sensitive to light; keep the window curtains drawn, all except one little slit, and they will gravitate toward it. Then you can easily drive them outside. A Town Farmer’* Crop. The editor paid a short visit to Willir- ton Sunday and while there Dr. J. P. Lee, Jr., carried him over his fine farm, which lies just on the edge of town. He has some cotton that is as pretty as any in the county and gives promise of making a bale or more to the acre Mis corn crop, said Dr Lee, w hu h is the best he has ever grown, is practically made And a number of fm*- hogs'wi I keep him supplied in meal fur a \ear Dr Lee also cleared t. r i<ll on five acres of asparagus last Spring And he dins all this in addition to giving close atten tion to*iis other business affairs BRUNSON BESTS OLAR Brunson \ug 1 Brunson drfratni Olar in a pretty game of ba.l here this afternoon the %< or* t»eing 4 to 1 Uhr features of the game »« r, 'hr tufting "f Brunson f -.r H'ur's- n »• 1 i ; re"i at h in eft fie ,1 to M « -s Vr 1 • a- ’hr taatting -'ll a'>1 ng a’ h * ’ ' t . ! i * ■ • . \ Tians Ten |l* ,-i». t a-tr r rr a * t » ALFALFA IS A MOST PROFITABLE FARM CROP A44.

' There are few farmers whose profits would not be increased greatly by rais ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible, his foodstuffs upon his own farm. During the last few years, the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly In creased in the region west of the Mis souri river, and it Is certain that there will be an equally rapid in crease throughout the eastern and southern parts of the United States Many of the attempts tn the past to grow alfalfa In the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the crop there will be little. If any. more trouble tn eecuiing a stand Alfalfa will soon be grown atwrv- dantly and profitably upon every farm. It Is no more difficult to grow than clover and glvee double the yield The deep rooting habit of alfalfa eaablee It to rwelst drouth when clever llm othy blue graee an 1 other forms* grmeeee die for want of moisture Ai falfa roots grow deep Into 'h* eotl far beyond the root* of o’hrr planta Ita Irouth reetaeng .• <>f t>.> greater ImpoV.ear* than Ita greet 'm.ue aa a * i: ec'U-t»' The lor.g nM-«a br'ag ph.-epb rue p.^as!> a: 1 Other ;;a*t f-- m • ar I **ove them la 'h* «;,■•' *o«i for 'he ( 4*e of other ; ae'a K i,-»• ttoee'a abow tree'i* lar?#mer ■ • .» 4* of other t ro^e grow* a 'a.'a e I A 'a:'a i* rvn la ,-o'eta the eeeee t la *e«ei.t a few4 to sake b. »• tM-wd mad a.4er .« la grvre .ag aal Alfalfa ■a' -a V For the benefit of sll parties con- cwrned the following informstion it giv en oat by the County Board of Commis- tKMiert. At a recent meeting of the board it was decided to warn sll parties doing work or contracting for work on the pub lic roads and bridges that no claims against the county for such work will be approved, unless the claimants can show authority from proper officer for doing same. Merchants and others are warned that bills contracted by Captain and Guards of the Chaingang will not be approved unless it is shown that they had proper authority for contracting same. Promiscuous repairing of roads and bridges must be stopped. No warrant against the funds of any towuship will be approved unless it is shown that the claimant had the proper authority for doing the work. The amount appropriated by the General Assembly for certain accounts has been exausted. N6 further claims against these accounts will be approved. Our action in this matter is based on the following section of the supply bill for this county: “Provided, further, no contracts shall be made, accounts approved, no war rants drawn in excess of the appropria tions herein, without the approval of the delegation to the General Assembly first obtained under the penalty imposed by section f>32 of the Criminal Code, \ f ol 2, 1912.

The County Record ofKmgstrer lost week corned 14 poges of odvertising If we could do that o few time* we would be tshomed to ask to go to heaven, for fear we would be Consid ered ungrateful —Saluda Standard An Excellent Judge. The action of Judge Shipp at Beaufort in ordering an immediate second trial for the negroes accused af the murder of Dispensary Constable Cooler is to be commended. The first trial held there last week resulted in no verdict, where upon Judge Shipp immediately ordered a new jury drawn, and the trial ended yesterday. Two negroes were convict ed and sentenced to die for their deed, thus illustrating that justice can he given speedily by our courts when pre sided over by firm judges, and that lynching is not necessary, when the courts are determined that hasty justice will be given. It is to be hoped that other judges will follow the example of Judge Shipp, and that the incessant delays which usually occur will be removed. This act sets an example which is worthy of being followed by the other judges of the State, and illustrates the efficiency of Judge Shipp as a public ofti er and a lover of Justice.—W’alterbero Press and Standard.

The elimination of root knot in a soil by this means is the first real problem in the control of cotton w ilt After the soil is free from root knot, then wilt resistant varieties of cotton can be grown successfully, but until this is done little success can be hoped for, even with the most resistant cottons. It is highly important, there fore, that only the Iron or Brabham cow|>eas be grown on land where these diseases are present. L. 0. Watson. How to Fight the Hou»e Fly. 1 Inner Uroy. in Leslie'-..

When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Cardui, (He woman’s tonic. Cardui is com posed of pure;y vegetable ingredients, whicij act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps htifld them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake in taking CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.’* Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
