Bl ILP BltOODKlL Brooders From tlie Fast Kxj>ensive i F and Xot Adapted to Climate. Many inquiries are being received as to the construction of a fireless P brooder. Those that are manufactured in the East are otten quite expensive, and many of them are not C: especially adapted to the Souths F warm climate. The following plan e gives as good success as any, and can b be made at home in a few minutes at a very little expense: It is in- a tended for an outdoor or an indoor brooder and needs attention only of a an evening in the early spring or a late winter, and will accomodate anywhere from 50 to 125 chicks nicely. P Get a dry goods box about two by a three feet deep, which will make " floor space three feet square. But the length does not matter soimuch. If the box is four feet long all the better. To this box tack a heavy curtain on the open end and then in- tl vest in an empty 50 pound lard can. At evening fill this can with boiling tl water, put the lid on, and set it in b the middle of the floor space. Have w a circular light board that extends t' about nine inches beyond the sides a of the can all around tacking a canvass a tight cloth on this circular a board to extend down within an inch c of the floor. Lay this circular board o: Ifc centered upon the top of the lard 1S can and one has as good a brooder b as anyone at a very little cost, and with proper care, but a very small P . per cent, of losses of chicks will be tl experienced, but on the other hand, r( they will be a healthy lot. si There will be no need to worry it about any steam coming out of the can and settling down on the chicks a! as the lid of the can will fit tight s? enough to prevent any steam from a' escaping. The water will stay warm until well up toward noon the next w day if put in about 5 or 6 o'clock in 0' the evening. With this method one w can raise 500 chicks with ease in a Si season. Should you wish to use this P< as an outside brooder it is much bet- c< ter to cut a hole somewhere in the side of the box and put in a pane of tj glass to give light for the chicks a' when the weather is bad, and they tt have to be shut in. The top of the lo ' box should be covered with a good sc grade of 2-plv roofing, and you will b; then have a brooder that will take v< ; ' care of the chicks until frying size. ai The lard can may be removed after the chicks get to an age that they ss can do without heat and you will w then have a nice little colony house, - "On Condition." e> [ C It was cruel of the governor to re- si quire that George Nichols, the white hi man who robbed and murdered John re Paul Williams, of Columbia, on a circus train in 1910 and threw the body se off the car after robbing it, should ei "leave the State." Nichols was from hi the State of Illinois, and came down bi to South Carolina with a circus, was ri leaving the State when he murdered Williams, and was caught in Georgia and brought back here. He has been in the State penitentiary only four 11* short years and to require that he 11 should "leave the State" so soon is cl downright cruelty. a And he makes it a condition ot w Jones, the wife murderer, that if he l)< V\ ever takes another drink or ever marries again and mistreats his wife, pl he must be taken back to the peni- le tentiary to serve out his life sentence. nl Life sentence for taking a drink is not excessive punishment, and it is k' most "cruel'and unusual" tor mis- ~ , treating or abusing a wife. ** The offense of "taking a drink" -v< and "abusing or mistreating a wife" ** are not to be compared to murdering 15 a wife; and yet the governor appears tc to regard them as greater crimes, in that for the two former he would have a man serve a life sentence in C] the penitentiary, while for the latter, n he removes the punishment and sets s< him free after he has served less g than five years. n V We wonder if there is any human * being with his right senses that is fooled by the rigmarole of not taking a drink, or leaving the State, or other "conditions" attached to "ex" ecutive clemency."?Newberry Ob server. X eut rality-Contra band. A "conduct friendly and impartial" does not make it the duty of the government to prevent its citizens from trading with any of the belligerent powers. Therefore, a citizen of the United States may load a vessel here ' with wheat, army shoes, armored car6 or any commodities, and dear it for a port in England. France, Germany or Austria without a violation of neutrality. On the other hand (if the goods are contraband.) he runs the risk of capture by a belligerent power, and the United States has no right to come to his aid. The risk is his own. He can sell wheat or copper to Germany or England, and deliver it if he can. But whether delivered or captured, the loading and clearing from our ports is not a violation of neutrality.?Wall Street Journal. ! i \ LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. lusty Marriages are Dangerous and Usually End in Divorce Court. There are certain subjects that eople must have talked about from he beginning of the world and will ilk about until the end thereof, beause by their nature they are incaable of being settled. One excellent xample of such subject is "Do you elieve in love at first sight?" About once in so often a letter from friend solemnly propounds that quesion to the writer. Before it can be nswered another question must be sked: "What do you mean by love?" Do you mean that wonderful conjound of friendship, tenderness and 2X attraction mysteriously blended lto a supreme emotion? Or do you mean what passes for )ve in so many cases?sex attracion? Unquestionably there is such a tiing as sex attraction at nrst signi. a iact it is one of the most common aings in the world. Sometimes, to e sure, the people thus moved toard each other by the "cosmic urge" urn out to be otherwise congenial nd love gradually develops. Quite as often there is no congenility, and nature, having accomplishi her purpose with her pawns, the ne tie that has held them together ? broken, and misery or divorce (or oth)- follow. It has been noticed that in a sur-j risingly large number of divorces ie parties "eloped after a short and jmantic courtship." "Love at first ght" their friends probably called There is sometimes, at first sight, | q attraction not. merely of the mses. Hand in hand with the lovet-first-sight controversy goes the lually familiar discussion as to hether for each of us there is only ae perfect mate, one person in the orld whom we can each truly love. oaie believe that there is not one srson, but one type with which we in each be happiest. Now when two people of congenial pes meet there is frequently felt i immediate attraction between lem. Alter this has developed into ve. which it sometimes does and >metimes does not. they may look ick and think it was love from the >ry beginning. But none of these e really love at first sight. One day Robert Louis Stevenson iw in the window of a restaurant a oman who, in his eyes, was the per:ct woman. "She's the only woman I shall .*er marry," he said once. That srtainlv was love at first sight, and nee he married her and was very ippy with her we cannot doubt its ?ality, but that was Stevenson. Rare souls like his maly at once mse their mate, but in common rery day life such things seldom ippen?so seldom that Stevenson is it the exception that proves the lie. State Convict Arrested.

During a lull in the fighting a j I short time ago at one point in the i j long battle line in the west, the French soldiers were awed when they observed their British allies withdraw from the trenches to a position in the rear and begin a football game. Tunics and caps were thrown aside, teams representing different bodies of troops were organized, and war for the moment became a minor matter. Several of the battalions had lost heavily during the fighting which preceded the recess, but for the moment this was forgotten, and although the men were covered with clay and. stiff from hours in the ditches, the spirit of the sport ruled for the time being. The Only Way He Could. Howler?I made quite an impres- I sion with my voice last night. | Hinkey?What did you do? Sing into a phonograph somewhere?? Boston Transcript. A Bright Day Ahead. To the Editor of the News and Courier:?When "Augustas Caesar had combed his hair for death and was told by his attendants that his deeds in the flesh had been worthy and sincere, he demanded their applause. Now, the "demagogues," "gas bags" and "obstructionists," who wrote and talked against the recent extra session of the legislature, against big bond issues, against total cotton elimination or even leI galized reduction of acreage, neither [ ask nor expect any applause, but they will be forgiven for indulging ' in a little self-congratulation over the final outcome. Alex Stephens I once thanked the good Lord for a I demagogue who could keep a straight 3 backbone in the face of strong op- I position and refuse to eat dir; rather! I than stultify himself. That extra J _, session did nothing but put another | hundred thousand dollar burden up- j. on our already stooped shoulders from heavy taxation, but I do not think it deserves the universal crit- dii icism still being heaped upon it. It of was trying to do the impossible at ^ what was thought to be the behest of be a large majority of the rural constit- of uents. We should offer prayers of thi thanksgiving that the damage was tal not greater. bit That whole panicky situation no taught some valuable lessons and th< coi furnished 6trong deductions to any tyro with a philosophical turn of in mind. It suggested the harm that 3-i Wi might result from a stampede, if unstrained. Think of what might have f0 happened had that vicious scheme GI i of total elimination of cotton been enacted and a serious effort made an to enforce it. Reflect on the per- an nicious damage that would have re- ha suited to the small farmer with his by wifo children as his only labor! X? aad almost totally dependent on cotton. Our leading farmers, doubtless, meant well in demanding this extra session and they meant to play the Moses act by leading Uncle Reuben out of the agricultural wilderness, th< but it was a great blunder as we a'l be rn. _.. pr see now. The newspapers did a wise thing in fighting that utterly patern- th< alistic and foolish bond issue, which in ' would have helped the farmer very little and saddled a heavy debt upon ^ the State for generations. After all the smoke of this battle I*' has cleared away what is the result, Ba sa so far as Calhoun county is concern- jes ed? With her big crop at present Fr prices and what she has saved in Jeconomy, she will start into the new year about as well as she would have done with ten cent prices, and what or she would have frittered away in i useless luxuries. The corn crop was fine. People are spend- (jr ing very little foolishly, and with av- ca erage crops another year this coun- m try will be on a better basis than for pa a long time. It is true that ours is a cotton State. It is the womb, the cradle and the school of cotton, and it will be so in spite of legal methods, boll di weevils, low prices and all other A: evils, but we should not take ad- mi vantage of the situation to our own 2(j detriment. Supply and demand is B? the only thing that regulates prices, au and the demand is shy now, and nat- ^ urally so, wun nan me wunu at wa.i. ji For this reason there should be a wi stronger and more aggressive crusade in every county for the plant- ^ ing of more grain and foodstuffs, th Up to the present this feature is not or sufficiently noticeable. The public lays no stress upon recent legal en- g, actments, but every farmer should ar see the wisdom of cutting down cot- a ton for the present and urging even ^ his tenants to follow suit. I< We all deplore the brutal war jn across the ocean, but with a little sa prudence and common sense methods over the cotton belt, there is a brighter day for the South than m ever before in the near future. b( T.
