In a book recently issued by Von
Hindenburg, credit for the collapse
of the German Empire is given to the
pressure brought to bear by Woodrow
Wilson. Thus# the leading German
soldier of the world war is willing
to grant an accomplishment to tne
great American statesman that a
great many Americans are not willing
to grant. While to the admirers of
Woodrow Wilson this statement of
Von Hindenburg is merely a confirmation
of what they already believed
themselves, the statement will perhaps
not add to Von Hindenburg's
popularity in certain circles in America.
Between Bamberg and Blackville
wide acres of peanuts greet the eye
of the traveler. While perhaps the
acreage in peanuts in this section is
not as great this year as last, due to
unfavorable marketing conditions,
the peanut remains a favorite crop
with many planters. The presence j
of fields of sugar cane is also noticeable,
and one rather large field of
Irish potatoes. There are also many
acres planted in rice this year in va^
rious sections of the county. This
is practically a new crop for this
community, and one which will no
doubt bring a fine return to the planters.

CATTLE RAISING.
r*.
An editorial in the Columbia State
reveals the fact that from 1900 to
1090 Uia nnrnhpr nf pattlp in South
-L *S mm, V IUV ii VC AAA v v* Vi V??v v. v ?
Carolina increased nearly 50,000, or
about 12%. During the same period
North Carolina "and Florida showed
decreases, and Georgia's increase was
slightly less than South Carolina's.
The fact that the cattle raising industry
is on the increase in this state
is encouraging, though the ratio is
somewhat disappointing. Experts in
aiiimal husbandry say" this state is
well adapted to cattle raising. Boll
weevil infestation has caused cotton
to be the one uncertain industry
throughout the lower section of the
state, and the same condition will
soon prevail all over South Carolina.
The lower sections of the state have
*
thousands of acres of pasture lands
pn which should be large herds of
cattle continuously.
The Carolinian, of St. Matthews, according
to its successor, the Calhoun
Times, "has died, vamoosed, passed
away, ceased to exist," and the Times
follows with a statement of the newspaper
activities of St. Matthews for
some years past. The Carolinian was
one of The Herald's brightest and
newsiest exchanges, and we regret
the misfortune that has overtaken it.
It was edited by Cliff Lankford, one
of the best newspaper writers the
southern section of the state has had.
But the Carolinian, like many other
enterprises, appears to have overlooked
the business end of the mat9
ter to the serious detriment, of the
bank account. The Times is nowT being
edited by T. H. Ifreher, who states
that he has undertaken the work as a
public spirited citizen in order that
the county may have a newspaper.
The new paper has our best wishes,
but we are inclined to the belief that
" unless it is operated as a business
enterprise it will not attain much
measure of success. The day of running
a pewspaper as a public spirited
enterprise is just about past. Naturally
a newspaper that is worthy of
the name serves the public, but it
must also serve the publisher to the
event of furnishing him a visible
means of livelihood if it is to be worth
anything to the community. The
* * * ~ w> > i v. i + i r\ n Vl O O Q 1
PUDI1C 111 many cummuimico iiuo ?.
peculiar idea relative to the country
newspaper. The people seem to frequently
forget that the publisher has
a right to live and prosper like other
folks. Nobody thinks it strange that
a grocer or clothier should be able
to buy a home and a car thrown in
after being in a business a year or
two. but if the editor does that, many
folks think he is getting on too well.
As a matter of fact an editor cannot
serve his county if he lives from hand
to mouth, and is always put to it to
pay his printers Saturday night. Our
advice to any town supporting a newspaper
is that they cease to kick on
* fair prices, and let the printer live
and prosper as they would like to do
themselves. He can then give his
people a better paper, and he is worth
far more to the community, to say
nothing of the fact that he will give
his town an enterprise of which it
may be proud. The local newspaper
office should always be one of the
shew places of anv town, and it
takes money, lots of it, to ever get
an office which the editor may show
with pride. Progressive towns know
the value of their papers.

OLD SHOES CAUSE SUIT.
Man Seeks Damages for Alleged False
Arrest.
A pair of old shoes left by a colored
woman at the repair shop of an
unnaturalized Russian in Cape Charles
started a suit which is taking the
United States district court to settle,
relates a Norfolk, Va., dispatch. The
shoes were the incubus of a suit for
I $16,000 damages for alleged false arrest
filed in the court by Max Kozak,
citizen of Russia, against William R.
D. Williams, justice of the peace at
Cape Charles and against Robt. H.
Reynolds, town sergeant.
The suit of Kozak is based on the
allegation that he was falsely arrested
on May 25, last, without a warrant, j
The trouble started, he-claims, over a i
pair of shoes left by Jennie Gunter,
colored, to be repaired. When the repairing
was finished, her hsuband
called for the shoes and was given a
pair, which Jennie declared was not
hers.

The Future of the Country Weekly.
What is to be the future of the
country weekly? This rests with the
community and with the publisher.
If the community recognizes the
value and possibilities of the country
weekly and is willing to pay what it
is worth, and if the publisher realizes
his responsibilities to his community,
then its future is bright, it
will have an important part in building
up a satisfying and wholesome
rural life.
*
First of all, the country weekly
of the future will be recognized as
a community institution. This
means it will be prosperous. The
rnmmunit.v will realize that it is un
wise for the community to have a
newspaper which is not prosperous.
The country newspaper of the future
will not be sold as a newspaper,
but as a community service, just as
the telephone is service. No one
thinks a telephone rental of from $12
to $30 a year is high, yet in the service
it renders the paper is quite comparable
to the 'phone; and the telephone
receipts can't be used to put on
the pantry shelves the way the old
newspaper can. A country newspaper
is worth more than the $1.50 or $2.00
usually charged.
The publisher, of course, will be
a recognized community leader. He
will have emancipated himself from
the thraldom of detail. He will have
capable girls who can do this sort
of work better than he can do it him.
self. He will never find that he is
unable to attend the meeting of the
committees in charge of the community
house, of which he is chairman,
because he has to fix a balky
linotype. It goes without saying that
he will have a neat, well organized
and systematized front office.
The people of the community will
know, also, that they have a part in
making it a good paper. As one |
country editor put it, the country j
weekly is "not the sole product of
its editor. It is the combined product
of its friends, readers, and advertisers."

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.
The President and two ex-Presidents
of the United States have joined, for I

country, in an appeal for a philanthropic
enterprise. President Harding,
ex-President Wilson and ex-President
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pres dent Harding's first official
acts after his inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in behalf
of America's sister republic in the
East. President Hard'ng said in part:
"At this, the earliest practicable moment
in my administration, I desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore In
behalf of the starving people of a large
section of China. * *
"The picture of China's distress Is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the American
people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as generously
as they possibly can."

for China Famine Fund, with his

White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas W.

President-Wilson said in his proclamation
:
"Not only in the name of humanity,
hut in that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,I
venture to ask that our cit'zens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today a light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help."
LIFE SAVING STAMPS

Each "Mercy" Sticker Purchased

Sales of "Life Saving Stamps" by
the American Committee for China
Famine Fund for the benefit of China
famine vicftns have reached a total of
thousands of dollars at the end of the
first month, and already the money Is
actually saving lives in China. Orders
during the first month aggregated
more than 10,000,000 stamps, which
will mean?at the rate of 3 cents for

now before the American people.
Every state in the Union is now coI
operating in the life saving stamp j
sales, and special committees are at |
work in more than 2,000 cities through- j
j out the country. The circulation of
the stamps is being effected by sales

House to house canvassing for the :
sale of the stamps?which are intended
to be placed on the backs of letters and
packages?has proved the most effective
method in the smaller* communities.
In the big cities the stamps have
been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail !
and packages. A nominal quota of ten
stamps for every adult has been set by
the committee, but in many centers .
this already has been passed. If un- J
