Wise and unwise, sensible and foolish statements have been made. We are. it has been said, t+ie ore country that leads all other civilized : s in the ratio of homicide to ,-ui.ition. Somewhere we have seei . ? statement that we are many tim< s worse than Italy, many times wor>2 than China, in that respect. Just tho exact tatio we do not recall, but presume the indictment is true. If true, it is to be deplored and, if possible corrected. But there is one consideration that we have never seen pr esented. This county is the first great modern experiment in democracy. Tho entire period of our historv has beer.. so far, formative. Many people from many lands, many conflicting: view*, many new theories brought into action?it is little wonder that licens e should develop in th** exercise of liberty. The people rule, and being: ne v to the experience, it follows that thn people often behave unseemly. In the course of time balanced judgment born of experience, will rectify the condition. Gradually the law will climb to the summit. Slowly experience will teach the lesson that trie* l'berty is the near relative of established order. Confusion will give place to orderliness and liberty will leirn its restrictions. In the meantime we will have to put up with tho wild talk and unwise propaganda t > be found upon many a printed page. We hove the demagogue who incite-* ?ass hatred thus seeking to get int) office, or, if in, seeking to continue office. Unbaked ideas are promulgamated freely. Many are swept away by the high-sounding word;. All will come out well in the endthat is, unless the seers and thinkers and self-controlled men and women of the land fail to continue to hoH up the truth.

I.?Tests at various expei'ment stations have shown that it pays to feed hogs a balanced ration, but the problem which confronts most South Carolina farmers is how they can balance rations most economically from feed available. In other words, how can hogs be fed to convert waste products, by-products, forage, pastures, and home grown grain into meat to best advantage ? With these problems in view, the Animal Husbundy Division of Clemson College has recently conducted exp -riments on feeding weanling pigs anu nas published Experiment Station Bulletin 213, "Rations for Weanling i'igs," which shows the comparative feeding value of some of the most common balanced rations available to South Carolina farmers. Corn and tankage were used in all the rations, other ingredients used in the different rations being red rog flour, wheat middlings, wheat bran, and ground oats. Some of the conclusions briefly stated are as follows: 1. Red dog flour and wheat midHlinifc nrnvorl tnnninA*. U ? ? ? ? Oo CU W Ilea V UI U 11 or ground oats. I'igs received red dog flour consumed more feed, made larger daily ga.ns, and required less feed per hundred pounds of gain than pigs receiving wheat middlings. 3. The gains of pigs fed on red dog flour cost slightly more than the gains ci those fed on middlings. 4. The feed cost of 100 pounds of gain varied from $6.28 to >/* Bulletin 213 may be had upon request by any citizen cf the :>tate. To Abolish Japanese Custom Tokio, Aug. 10.?In line with modern thought and action a picturesque custom which heretofore has accompanied the death of any government official of importance, is to be abolished. Formerly on the announcement of the death of such a personage an Imperial messenger, in full state dress and preceded by four l>ol icemen went to the residence of the deceased to offer condolences on behalf of the Emperor. Hereafter, the messenger will wear a fnxjk coat without the usual gold braid and will be unescorted. Even this modified recognition of the services of the dead in future will only be accorded to the most distinguished. Shipbuilding Abroad Shipbuilding at cost is said to be the basis on which British yards are willing to work, in order to get orders. British owners of vessels, however, apparently do i ot find the offer 50 attractive as it sounds; for they declare that before thev pan r?lo/?o many orders for new steamers the ost of building must come down by hirty per cent. Seventy-five per rent of England's shipbuilding capacity is idle. Prospects seem to be brightening, however; for it is reported that inquiries which precede contracts for new boats are increasng.?The Nation's Business. They Have Fireworks Now Fireworks for Mexico is a suggesion made appropriately enough on luly 6. It seems that the Mexican leople have a disposition to celebrate reely and concretely, and the large lumber of holidays aitd festivities nake fireworks an all-the-year-round 'omirodity in Mexico, instead of a lighly seasonable article. Spittballs, vhi/.zbangs and other lively means f exciting interest are recommended or the Mexican market.?The Naion's business. Some Percentage* in Misery Plague and pestilence have always ollowed in the path of economic dlsster. According to official soviet tatements, hospital accommodations n the Ukraine have decreased by 80 i er cent, and cholera with a death ate of 60 percent has been increaslg.

V Visit to the Lahus of Yunnan Kangaen, Sept, S.-?The Lahus are me of the hitherto little known tribe* iescribed by Ralph Henderson, an \merican wayfarer, whose travel pictures have been appeari^ in the Rangoon Gazette. These sturdy, yet sociable people live mostly in the Chinese province of Yunnan, a wild :ountry bordering on the northeast frontier of Burma. Referring to their life and customs, Mr. Henderson WlttM: "We met more Lahus than any othSr tribesmen, 1 think Lahu is the tribe's name for itself, and means the 'tiger-born' raoe. The tribe is * big one and spills across into Yunnan, or rather, spills from Yunnan into Burma, since they originally came from China. The Lahus live by agriculture, the men doing a little hunting on the side when they can get hold of a gun that shoots forward, instead of backward or in all directions at once. Every hill man who considers himself of any importance at all must have his gun. There is a factory in Kengtung where muzzle loading guns are manufactured A few carpenters and blacksmiths sit beneath a big banyan tree and make them. When a gun is made, some bold workman tires it to see if it will go off. If it does, it is sold at once. "But not all hill men are so fortunate as to be able to secure one of these 'Hsamtun' guns. Many of them, therefore, make their own, They make their own powder and shot, and, when all is finished, have the self-confidence or temerity to go hunting with their creation. I carried a repeating shotgun up there, and it is not surprising that they regarded it with an awe that amount ed almost to reverence. A friend o! mine carried an old revolver. He had paid three dollars for it in America, and, since that time, the handle had become broken. He was offered the equivalent of $65 for it, broker handle and all, by a friendly robbei chief. e "The Lahus have a formal and im personal way of making love. TIk young men build a fire, and the maidens another, these fires withir a stone's toss of each other. Ther each group sits about its own fire and the courting begins. The groups sing love songs to each other in turn This may continue for hours. Ther at last comes a song saying the time has come for parting, and with thai the two groups rise from their fires and come together for a moment. It this moment, a youth may exchange turbans with the lady of his heart Tnese exchanged turbans are worr for several days, and the whole proceeding serves the same purpose as our engagement and engagement ring. If either party regrets the demand a return o7 turbafts, and there's an end to everything. Otherwise, marriage follows. "Lahus commonly have large families, and, to save a great deal of mental effort on the part of the parents in devising names for their progeny, they employ an ingenious scheme?a kind of calendar of names, fhey have a cycle of 12 days in their week; dog day, pig day, rat day, cow dav. tieer dav. ass dav. death dav, crocodile day, sheep day, pony day, chicken day and louse day. A child born on dog day is called Master or Miss Dog; on rat day, Master or Miss Rat; on sheep day, Master or Miss Sheep. "It might be supposed that a child born at midnight (a rather vague and inclusive term in a land without timepieces) would catch the baptismal wheel on dead center, and would be in a fair way to get two names or none. Not so. The child is merely Master or Miss Midnight. What more simple! To introduce a comfortable amount of variety, the first born is usually called Master or Miss First. Commonly the name derived from the day is also added, and the result is such a name as Master First Ass, or Miss Second Pig. ? 'The child whom its parents expect to be the last may likewise be called Master or Miss Last. It must be verv annoying to the inventors of the system that there is at least a modicum of uncertainty in bestowing the name of Master or Miss Last on a child. The future cannot be surely foretold, and consequently it is not uncommon to find in a family two or even three children bearing the name I ast." Methodist Deaconesses Show Growth Missoula, Mont., Sept. 3.?The growth in the Methodist Episcopal church from three deaconesses in 1890 to 1,023 deaconesses and probationers in 1922 was told today by Dr. D. D. Howell of Buffalo, N. Y., corresponding secretarv of the Oen eral Deaconess board, in speaking before the general conference of the board in session here. "The value of the property under the direct auspices of the board increased fiom $284,908 in 1894 to $12,767,050 in 1922," he said. "The value in 1912 was $4,682,343, at which time the present form of board was authorized. "In Europe there are 907 deaconesses wortyng throughout Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Property there is valued at $1,495,669." At Windsor Castle there is a room entirely devoted to old wedge wood pottery and here are displayed in cases some of the fines and rarest examples. m k m cigarctte^^^^ They are GOOD! MJ? Hsuan Tung Tires of Isolation Peking, Sept. 2.?Hsuan Tung, whose abdication as emperor in 1912 ended tile Manchu dynasty, is describ- . cd by the Chinese Press as becoming?1 tired of his isolation. Hsuan is in his 1 TfU MU- II- I.'""" S? - ? im jrcoi. nf n*ca m tx pttinct; wiLillU the Fofcfciddcn City and, although he must often hear the noises from the busy streets just outside of his wall, he is virtually a prisoner, having only 1 twice, it is said, seen the sights of the Chinese capital. Under the terms of his abdic ation Hsuan was given un usual privileges by the Chinese ReI public. He was permitted to maintain a court with all its royal appurtenances | including about 2,000 servants. The , Republic agreed to pay him $4,000,000 Mex. annually for expenses as a condition of his abdication. The finan. ' cial plight of the Republic made these payments impossible with the result that in the last ten years the "Boy Emperor'', as he is still called, has received only $600,000. His pleas for the remittance of $39,400,000 still due | as "Impe r al household expenses" L have^gone unanswered. This is said . to have increased his desire to change his mode of living. Hsuan's English and American tutors describe him as a diligent stu| dent. One of his diversions is to | write. on a typewriter of American make. In June, 1917, an attempt was made ' to restore the monarchy in China, Hsuan sat on the Dragon Throne for just one week. That episode is thought to have ended forever the ; chance of restoring the monarchy, in China. i i r: President to be Initiated i Cleveland, O., Sept. 2.?President Harding will be admitted to member-1 i ship in the thirty-third degree, Scot-i ; tish Rite of Free Maconry, at the! llOthjmnuiil. meeting of the supreme CQnn.cMp? e the Northern jurisdic^it-*" [ of the%tolUd States, to be. held i Cleveland September 16, it has been] announced.

Among other prominent men who will be candidates for the highest Masonic degree are Governor Alex. J. Groesbeck of Michigan, former Governor C. 9. Dineen of Illinois and Benson W. Ifoueh. justice of the nhin an. preme court. More than 150 candidates fop the degree will be honored at the meeting. Lee A ska Constructive Policies Cleveland, O., Sept. 3.?A plea to forget destructive thoughts and turn time and energy to constructive policies is contained in the Labor Day : message of W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. "Labor is charged with being militant and the charge is true," he said. "The Sam# may be said of any nation or people^, who have accomplished 1 anything. f Had labor not been mill- | tant the nidation of master and slave t would si ill, exist. "Whatefiw labor has gained it has secured by ifcs strength either direct- * ed througfl! the force of its organiza- a ,? 4 .? tions or tvougn tne enactment of laws andlfcas done so against the combined fllfces of the employer. 1 "Instead of continuing a program I of reprisal. both capital and labor must agrdji to a common sense, fair and practittd adjustment of their differences there will be what amounts tH. conscription of certain classes of 1M* in thejnterest of common welffea. TKi ? "Cross Crossings Cautiously." r Kr' ' Kato Urges Economy Tokio, Sept. 2.?Speaking at the first conference of local governors, since his assumption of the premie* ship, Admiral Boron Kato explained the steps taken by the cabinet co bring about economical recovery and urged local authorities and individuals to practice economy. He Baid: "The Washington conference has created an epoch in the world situation. The powers in Europe and America at present are making strenuous efforts for the wmtwy of their economic stability and particular efforts are centered upon the development of industries and further advancement of civilization ahd culture. I think the empire at this critical moment must readjust her economic condition and strive for the consolidation and replenishment of her national strength meanwhile taking measures for promoting national education and enhancing the further development of national industry. The government has decided to car ry uut an administrative and nnanciAI adjustment to economize apd curtail the state expenditure, apart from effecting the reduction of na?y armament and alfio of land forces abiding by the spirit of the decisions of the Washington conference. It is very important that each individual strictly refrain from the habit of luxury and exercise strict economy in the mode of living thereby stabilizing the foundation of individual economy. This principle should be particularly born in mind by those in the government service, who are" required to make efforts for the spread of the thought of economy and thrift among people." The premier regretted that the condition of the thinking world in this country still was in an unsettled state for which the premier recognized the necessity of taking proper measures for guiding the thoughts of the people in a right course. The government also was deliberating the question of relations between capital and labor. The premier said that the government was fully aware of the necessity of the adoption of general manhood franchise and was making an elaborate study with a view to adopting that system though at present he was unable to state anything definite about the date of its execution and the particulars of the plan.
