P1 ?? h Bird Protection Exhibit. s( The farmers all over our State are w invited and urged to attend the exhi- w m bition on bird protection in the agri- h P cultural building during the State w W fair, October 26-30. ti This exhibit is the first of the kind m ever held in this State. It is under tl the auspices of the National Associa- G tion of Audubon societies in cooperation with the bird committee of the oi federation of women's clubs. tl This exhibit will be interesting gi and instructive. Scientific experts is hav^e been studying the food habits tl ^ of birds for years. Some of the re- U suits of these investigations will be c< shown by picture, chart and publica- ir tions. Owing to their feeding habits tl most birds are of immense value to U farmers. Therefore, birds should be ft protected. al A resident hunter's license law af- cl fords one of the best means of bird c< protection. This is taught by the ex- n f. perience of other States possessing ti such a law. n One of the greatest enemies of o . bird life is the common cat. A place r< will be given to the cat in this ex- tl hibit. There will be display of tl models of practical bird houses and T boxes which can be constructed for h a few cents. , Valuable literature on the subject ti of bird protection will be distributed t< free. g IV Different Definitions. ^ President Wilson likes novels of ^ an idealistitc rather than a realistic trend. d At a reception in Washington a ladv mentioned a realist who had c; just produced a shockingly depressing and unpleasant book. . "How would you define a realist?" v e someone asked; and the lady said: j "A realist is a writer who is disgusted with the world." "Oh, no, not at all," smiled the Dresident. "A realist is a writer with whom the world is disgusted." | S t, LET STATE BACK PEOPLE. oting Constitutional Amendment to Increase Public l>ebt. Trenton. S. C.. October 9, 1914. Mr. J. T. Collins, Chester. S. C.? lv Dear Sir: Yours of October 5 reeived. 1 realize' your condition persctly and sympathize with the farters who owe you. too. I do not now what to suggest or how to elp our fellow citizens who are in bis predicament. Sad to say there re very many of them in distress, am hoping that the legislature will nact a law promptly providing for sensible warehouse scheme and! tiat the State will get behind its wn citizens with its credit, by votlg a constitutional amendment to lcrease the public debt for this purose. Possessing the power of taxtion as it does there is absolutely 0 reason why it should not do this, 'ntil South Carolina and other outhern. States show their willingess to back their own people it is lie to expect the national governlent to do it. I believe the State upreme court would declare a propr warehouse law constitutional, rovided the people at the next elecon vote to increase the public debt or that purpose. The legislature an act immediately and as the elecion comes off in November everyaing could be satisfactorily adjusted 1 this way. South Carolina can thus ave its own citizens whether other outhern States do or not. I doubt ery seriously, however, whether any iw looking: to tne decrease or acrege or forbiding the planting of any otton at a.ll will stand the test of institutionality. It is worth trying, owever. I myself expect to sow all the oats can get in the ground and will jrtilize them well with cotton seed leal and acid phosphate, two home roducts. The land may wait for otash until the Garmans are licked, luckily most of the land in this State as enough potash in it already to lake one or two crops, for it is a lineral which does not leach out. 11 the soils have a natural supply. I believe the reduction of acreage ill settle itself without legislation, imply because nobody is able or willlg to advance money or supplies to row cotton at 7 cents per pound. It i like lifting one's self over a fence y his boot straps. This European war nas certainly it the South a hard blow. We have efofre seen cotton very low, but verything else was low then, too. ow everything we have to eat, esecially meat and flour, is very high, ad the cost of growing cotton is robably double what it was in 1890. I see no reason why the National overnment does not hasten getting le national reserve baks in condion to begin operation. We have eard for a long while that the mahineiry would begin to Inove on ctober 1. The National Governiont onnH rerne-nize warehouse re jiptc as good collateral, and I beelive it will do so, provided the fates first take sensible action in igard to this matter. I do not think ncle Sam will, or ought, to be exacted to come to our help until we ave exhausted all of our own relurces and have done those things hich are necessary. There never as a time when the old adage, "God elps those who helps themselves," as more applicable and had more uth. If the people of the State deiand a sensible and practicable law, ie Legislature will eact it, and the overnor will sign it, too. Our home banks, if they would aly cease being greedy hogs and do leir duty towards the people, could et us all out of the wilderness. It : preposterous and criminal for lose banks to draw money from the nited States Government at 3 per ;nt interest "to assist the farmers i marketing their cotton crop" and len give it to merchants and manu icturers, and then if some few irniers are fortunate enough to be ble to put up the proper collateral large them 6 per cent, and S per ?nt. Secretary McAdoo has the lachinery already started in moon to print all the paper money ecessary and will issue to the banks n proper collateral. Congress has aljady discharged its duty far better lan our State Legislatures. In fact ie President and Secretary of the reasury dare not do more than they ave already proposed to do. There are certain things the Naonal Government can do and ought ) do. but as usual there are demaogues among our public men who re making wild proposals. Such len are public enemies and ought i be "sat on." Let the State Legislature do its uty and the National Government lay be depended on perform its. We an stem the tide if we all work toether. but many wild and impracicable schemes ought to be abandond promptly and not talked about jnger. Action is what is needed nd not so many words. Very truly yours. (Signed) B. R. TILLMAN. Ubscribe for The Herald, 51.50 year. GIRL Bl'VS COTTON" BALE. Miss Eva Blume Has Been Canning I Club Member Tliree Years. "Little Eva Blume. I presume, is the first tomato club girl to buy a bale." writes Miss I. I. Woodward, secretary of the Barnwell County Girls' Canning club. Little Miss Blupie lives at Blackville. "Her energy and thrift in the pursuit of tomato culture," writes .M16S Wooawa.ru, nave euauieu net to save the dollars and dimes resulting from sales of canned products and raw material during three years of membership in the county canning club, under the supervision of Mrs. Dora Dee Walker. It is with these accumulations that she has purchased a bale of cotton. "Her example illustrates the fact that thrift, energy and individualism are forcefully established among the gi~ls engaged in the tomato work. The club girls are quite busy now, making booklets of their written histories portraying the achievements of this year, summarizing their daily records and arranging exhibits for both State and county fairs. Their products are tomatoes, snap beans, peaches, apples, pears. berries, grapes, asparagus, peas, pumpkins and peppers. "Pimetos are Barnwell's club specialty. These are packed in Xo. 1 tin cans to compete with those imA/) Pi?/Y*vv Orvo In r\v\ A \TdVtrtA ! jl/V-'i, icu iiuiii c^aiu auu 4Ucaiv.v. "Miss .\'orma Guess is one of Barnwell's record breakers in the culture of pimento peppers. She has gathered from her tenth of acre to date 1,534 pounds of huge, luscious, sweet peppers and still the bushes are bearing heroically. It has been her pleasure to supply the markets of Augusta and Allendale. "These wideawake girls are living up to their club motto 'To make the best better.' and at the same time giving significance to the 'Four H' brand, in receiving equal training of head, heart, hands, health." "Th??u Shall Xot Kill." When the Lord commanded, "Thou ' Shall Xot Kill," He did not add, "unless commanded to do so by your government." When two modern armies meet in deathly grapple thousands of human ' ?ouls are sent to the judgment seat of that same God, who thousands of years ago preached "Love thy neighbor as thyself." ' As each 60ul approaches the bar of that tribunal it is confronted with the guilt of other men murdered, their hands are red with the same blood that flowed from their brother Abel, and the eternal Judge must turn away weary and faint of heart. Hundreds and hundreds of years t of Christianity, ages and ages of civ- f ilization and progress. Men that 1 u-prp heathens ehaneed to humans. I only to be savages again. The lofty s strain of culture drowned in the * flood of blood, made possible only by the growing intellect of man. The lions fight and tear each other in the forest, uhe tiger steals softly towards his prey, the hawk drops like a bullet upon the helpless bird, but neither the lions, nor tigers, nor hawks, have murder organized, systematized, and civilized. Man, alone of all God's creations, ! endowed with the divine form and I reasoning powers, and placed in dominion over the beasts of the land " and the fowls of the air. has used his superior intellect, his genius for government, and the growth of centuries in science, to enable him to kill mors of his fellow men than ever before. Better the single warfare between the aboriginal savage than the masked good will of nations that puts slaughter ahead as a profession, and the blood of her people as the price of aggrandizement. Society, with all its advantages, has brought a corresponding increase in the vastness and immensity of its destructive power. ?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. CAVALRYMEN IX ACTION. Sabre and Lance Brought Into Play Along Battle Front. From the Battle Front, Oct. 10.? Sabre and lance came into play many times today. The French. British and German Hussars. Lancers, Dragoons and Cuirassiers in enormous numbers came into contact near Lille. There were no brilliant charges by long lines of horsemen to record, but the British squadron, in khaki, and the French, in their light and I dark blue uniforms, often crossed swords with the blue-grey-clad Ger-i mans. There is not an inch of ground hereabouts which does not show traces of the awful character of the battle. The town of" Albert is a mass of ruins. Roye has disappeared under constant bombardment. It - : was the centre of the German effort]! to break through the allied lines. ! The German artillery had taken _ advantage of many quarries in the j vicinity, where they placed guns ^ which were beyond the reach of the < French artillery. { t IS / ,^!I^^^H==iC:^,.. I .
