McDuffie county has a mighty fine
name. It is to be hoped that the
baby county jvill live fully up to its
name.
A good beginning for the new

It strikes us that city council has
before it a serious question in the
matter of an adequate water supply
for the town. The present arrangement
is about the most unsatisfactory
that could be imagined. The
city can hardly be expected to offer
inviting opportunities to strangers
f. until a more satisfactory water supply
is installed.
We have known the editor of the
Gaffney Ledger for a long time, and
naturally, have a high regard for him.
So. before Christmas, we racked oui
* editorial brain considerably trying tc
hand him a bouqpet for a Christmas
present, having nothing more substantial
to offer. Now he goes and
prints the thing and gives the credil
to a "furrin" paper, published somewhere
way up in Anderson. And
that's not all. Some time ago oui
Gaffnev friend printed an excellent
little editorial and credited it to us
but we "didn't do it." 'S tough;
friend, 's tough.
A Plow That Hang True.
In Buenos Aires a few years ago an
American salesman of plows wished
to demonstrate to a local customer
the superiority of his goods over that
, ' of a German competitor, relates the
world's work. The American consul
arranged for the test.
,The German plows proved to be almost
exact duplicates of the American
implement in design and rather better
in finish. Wasting no time in explanation,
the American salesman
called over a powerful peon and ordered
him to swing with all his
strength with a 10-pound sledge upon
the share of one of the American
plows.
TVta hnclrv t nnnn
' hands, hunched his muscular shoulders,
swung the heavy hammer in ?
wide circle and brought it down or
the spot indicated. A note as cleai
as that of a bell rang out and th<
plow went, bounding across the floor
but save for the patch of red paini
that fused to and came off on th<
hammer head, the share was unmark
ed. When the operation was repeat
ed upon one of the German imple
inents, the first share was complete
ly shattered, the pieces being scatter
ed about the floor like so much brok
en crockery.
Tminking that possibly the faulti
ness of his share had been an acciden
of construction, perhaps of over-tem

to swing upon the second sample
This blow demonstrated that thi
German implements were not evei
consistent in their defectiveness, fo
this share doubled up under- th<
blow and folded lovingly in aroun<
the hammer, like a flower going t<
sleep at night.
There were tears in the consul'
eyes as he wrung the salesman'
hand in congratulation, but all hi
6aid was, "And they still accuse u
of exporting wooden nutmegs."

.Mausoleums at Oxford Fniversity for
Works of Long Ago.
i In his book on "0!d Oxford Libraries"
Strickland Gibson describes the
' old library of Jesus College, built and
; founded by Sir Leonline Jenkins
i about 1676, "as a mausoleum for
books long since dead," says the New
, York Sun.
"For can any change of scholarship,"
the author asks, "quicken old
Testatus and raise him from the
grave? Will any theologian, save out
of mere curiosity, ever pore again
1 over the sixteen folio volumes of Alfonso
Salmeron? It is only by a few
antiquaries that the old books are
i taken from their shelves. The under-graduates
never enter; indeed
some have never even heard of the
, old library. It is elsewhere, in the
L'ndergraduate Library, that the present
generation seeks learning."
But even this is not the deadest of
libraries, for Mr. Gibson describes
a le?s frequented one within the precincts
of Christ church;
i ( Dr. Richard Allestree, regius proi
fessor divinity, in 16S0 conveyed the
whole of his books to the university
in trust for the use of successive regius
professors of divinity. , The uni
varsity, by the deed of trust, was to
exercise the riglit of visitation, but
no money was left for the maintenance
of the library, nor has provision
ever been made for it. In a secluded
cloister, within a small chamber
and a long narrow room paved
with red tiles, the books, unvisited.
pass their days in dusty desolation
and unbroken peace. Only the professor
has the right of entry, a right
probably exercised but seldom by one
whose duty it is to interpret the
living word, and who may well hesitate
to explore the ^wastes of long
exhausted theological controversies.
"The eighteenth century library
of St. Edmund Hall is worth visiting
for the -sake of its picturesque appearance
and its diminutive size.
It is situated above the chapel, and
is approached by a narrow and tortuous
staircase, on which, unless the
'j visitor follows his guide very closely,
i there is some likelihood of his being
i temporarily lost. The library is the
j smallest in Oxford?a little room
| with a gallery running round. Or|
ifinally the books were all on the
i walls, but recently some transverse
'leases have been added, thus rendering
perambulation difficult. It is
a library for the sedentary only."

IjThe one absolutely unselfish friend

Resort Depends Absolutely on Tout

There are few cities in Europe tha
will feel the effects of the presen
war more acutely than Carlsbad, ac
cording to a man living in this cit
who is familiar with the peculia
conditions of Bohemian spa, says
London dispatch to the Register an
Leader. While it is not probabl
that Carlsbad will suffer from th
ravages of an invading army owin
to its secure position in the hear
heart of Europe, the entire economi
life of the place will be disturbed t
such an extent that the town will b
practically dead so long as the wa
lasts. Perhaps there is not anothe
single city anywhere in Europe s
aDsoiuteiy aepeiiueni iur us ver.i c.istence
on financial support from out
side resources. There is no industr
of any kind in Carlsbad that is nc
connected directly with the spring
of health-giving mineral waters, a
though the surrounding district i
famous for its large chinaware, toj
lace and textile fa'ctories.
Certainly no place, not even Ai
lantic City or the largest Europea
seaside resorts, represents such
large investment .of capital as is tie
up in Carlsbad subject to the goo
will and patronage of well-to-do pei
sons of every nationality. Asid
from the fact that the town is conposed
almost exclusively of larg
costly hotels that depend at best fo
their revenue on a six months sei
son of activity, the amount tied u
in such enterprises is all the greate
because of the relatively high lan
values. Carlsbad is situated in a
extremely narrow valley in one of th
foothill ranges of the Ore Mour
tains, about forty nines soutn or in
Saxon border and the same distane
to the east coast of the Bavarian hoi
de.v
Consists of Single Street.
The gigantic hills of solid roc
rising abruptly from the banks c
the River Tep! scarcely leave suff
cient room for a single narrow
street on either side, and Carlsba
may be said to consist of a singl
street about two miles long. Sine
it would not be practicable to erer
hotels at a greater distance from th
springs, the available building spac
is unusually limited. Traffic elevj
tors and cogwheel railroads hav
made some of the hillsides suited fc
hotels, but the popularity of th
Carlsbad "cures" has grown so fas
that even these less accessible site
are worth fabulous prices.
High rents are well enough whe
o novinor nr/weA r\f cnmmpr visitO!
can be counted on. Without thes
visitors they represent a dead loss t
the landlords. To give an idea c
these artificial values an old built
'ing on Alte Weise, the main stret
of Carlsbad, was sold recently fc
$250,000. The new owner of th
site, in order to put it in shape fc
the erection of a new hotel larg
enough to show a profit on the ir
vestment, was compelled to excavat
more than 4,000 cubic yards of so
id rock in the rear of the 60x10
foot lot, thus adding several thous
and dollars more to the origint
cost. The largest hotel in Carlsba
which, by the way, is owned b\>a
English baron, cost close to $2,000
000 to erect. The annunal renta
which means for six months, pai
by a cafe not on the main street i
$6,000.
Many Outdoor Cafes.
In addition to the hotels there at
many outdoor cafes in and nea
Carlsbad that, owing to their par
surroundings, represent large inves
ments. When it is considered the
one of these open-air refreshmer
gardens serves as many as 80,00
portions of coffee, tea and milk in
single day at 1 8c each, one can unde
stand why land values even in thes
cases are so high.
The largest single property holdo
in Carlsbad is the city. The mun
cipal government not only owr
thousands of acres of well kept par
woodlands, but deals extensively i
city real estate as a broker. Tt
annual budget runs into million
Unlike most health resorts, Carlsba
operates all of its bath houses i
self and the city administration
divided up into more departmen
than are necessary even in large ci
ies like New York. About the on
- concession that is farmed out is tl
right to ship the mineral waters an
salts, the city's income from th;
source alone being more than $100
000 a year.
There is a district in Carlsbs
: known as the West End. which d

American custom. This is the mo

i. SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE
- Sharkleton Expedition to Antarctic
Scientifically E(iuii>j?e<l
t Air-propeiled motor sledges mount,t
ed on flat runners like skis from
the main reliance of the Antarctic
y expedition headed by Sir Ernest
,r Shackleton, which is preparing to
a spend the next few months in exd
ploring the great continent that sure
rounds the South Pole. An illuse
trated article in the September Popug
lar Mechanics Magazine declares that
't in this and many other respects the
c expedition is better equipped with
o modern devices than any previous
e body of polar explorers has ever
x been. Details of food supply, shelx
ter, and provisions for the general
o health and comfort of the members
of the party have been worked out
with scientific care, tested in the
y snow fields of northern Norway and
it pronounced perfect.
:s Five motor sledges will be taken.
1- One of the has a 55-horse power
s gasoline engine, another a 40-horse
power. These two have *air propellers,
but for use against head winds
t- they are also equipped with positiven
drive mechanism in the form of
a toothed drums attached at the rear
d to ingage the ice and snow. In the
d extremely low temperatures of the
- Antarctic the snow becomes as loose
e as dry sand, so these sledges are
i- mounted on flat, ski-like runners to
e prevent them from stalling. In a
r seven-day test in Norway one of
i- these air-propelled sledges, carrying
n civ mpn tnwpd another sledge weigh
r ing 400 pounds and carrying two
d men. at a speed of from 15 to 20
n miles an hour. Only a 30-horse
e power motor was used, instead of
i- the large ones that have since been
e installed, with which the speed of
e 22 miles an hour up a 10 per cent
- grade with three men on board has
been made.
Two other sledges have the posik
tive drive only, and are Expected to
,f cover about 50 miles a day each.
i_ as against the 75 to 100 miles of
jv the aero-sledges. The engines of
d these are water-cooled, and the water
e jackets jjre piped to steam-cooking
e appliances, so that food may be
t heated while on the march.
e The food problem of the Shacklee
ton expedition is a particularly difficult
one. Food supplies for the ene
tire journey of 900 miles from Wedir
dell Sea to the Pole and 800 miles
e from the Pole to Ross Sea, must be
5t taken along, whereas most polar exis
plorers are able to make catches of
food for use on the return journey.
n So a scientifically devised ration, on
s which the members of the party have
ie already subsisted for days at a time,
o has been prepared and enough of it
>f packed in sausage skins, for easier
> tmnannrtation to last through the
?t 1.700-mile trip. Each man will re)r
ceive 36 ounces of food daily, instead
ie of the 3 pounds which is the average
>r consumption. In this will be 6
e ounces of lard, 4 ounces of sugar.
?. and 2 ounces of a fmixture of dried
e milk, protein, and oats. The rest
1- of the ration consists of Brazil nuts,
0 almonds, and beech nuts mixed with
5- oil and dried milk.

n seen in Berlin, Paris and

the inhabitants of'Carlsbad who are
off to the war can do to support

fails to materialize.

MOKE POTASH COMING.
rie
American crops and soils are still
as hungry for Potash as before the
>r outbreak of the European War,
i_ which curtailed the Potash shipments.
IS Some of the Fertilizer Companies
k are trying to induce farmers to buy
n the one-sided low Potash or no Potash
fertilizers of a generation ago.
This means a fertilizer that is profits*
able to the manufacturer, but not the
id best for the farmer. When the Synt
dicate in 1910 started the direct sales
I of Potash to dealers and farmers at
reasonable prices. Potash sales in13
creased 65 per cent, in one year, a
t- clear proof that farmers know that
lv Potash Pays. They know that Pot
' ash gives good yields, gooa quaiuy
and resistance to plant diseases.
l" Many of the Fertilizer Manufacturit
ers are willing to meet the farmer's
i. wishes and self him what he thinks
he needs. These manufacturers are
now willing to furnish as much Potid
ash as they can secure. They offer
e_ goods with 5 per cent, and even in
. some cases 10 per cent. Potash, if
the farmers insist on it.
st Shipping conditions are improving.
ie more Potash is coming forward als
though the costs of production and
transportation are higher. The highr"
er price of fertilizers is not due
?r wholly to the slightly higher cost of
re Potash. Much of the Potash that
t_ will be used in next spring's fertilizer
had reached America before the
le war started.
to There is no substitute for Potash.
We can no more return to the fer
j tilizer of twenty years ago than we
can return to the inefficient farm ims
plements or unprofitable livestock of
a- that period. H. A. HUTSON.
