A “LOOKIXti TOt'ir Several progressive farmers of the Hendersonville setion Inaugurat ed a “looking tour” last Friday. The unique, name and plan of this' day's outing Is commendable and we would be pleased to see It spread over the county. According to this plan a number of farmers assembl ed early Friday morning for rhe purpose of inspecting the farms of the members of the party. It took' all day and every member rf is en thusiastic ovre the (Slings seen and the good done each one in the party. These farmers have adopted some rules to govern future "tours," among which Is a system of fines for farm machinery and implements left out in the weather. There will be a fine of one dollar for a one- horse Implement; two dollars for a two-horse Implement, and so on. If they ore able to secure proper care for farm implements only they will be doing a good thing for the people they represent, for it is a notorious fact that thousands of dollars are lost each year In this county by rusting and rolling of farm machinery loft out In the weather for months jit a time. Pass along any road in the county nnd you will find disc harrows rakes, mn^rrs. wagons, sugar mills, to p^y nothing «£ plow stocks and other tinaH tmpbmu'tttft <> left out where thev happen to last, he used.

We are sure that South Carolina boyaonill up hold the. traditions of their State, and that wherever they may be called to godn the discharge of their/ patriotic duty, they will perform no act which will bring reproach upon their beloved State. They afe going as the evangels of pure de mocracy, and they will teach by their lives that the principles of *» free country, are those which will make for better manhood, and more humane treatment of tjieir enemies. Cruelty, pillage, rapine and murder of Innocents and Don-comt^t* 11 ! 3 * will not be crimes laid against those who go from, our country to eneag* in this war. But our men by their high priclples and correct living will set an example of which w" need never he ashamed. As soldiers in such a cause and in such a war, there ran he nothing hut honor and pride. - Not drawn ehrough fate, .but selected because of special fitness, and,' therefor.T the greater honor, our men will go. With them will go the prayers and best w ishes of those. w’ho remain, many of whom would prefer going, but who will stay behind and In the g quiet, walks of peace perforHi no less a patriotic duty. Truly this Is a time to try men ami to make men. Colleton’s sons will measure up to their duty and to what is expectel of them. 1 MIG: INSECTS AND OH I i Author Of ’ By F. F.

BUSINESS EDUCATION The Press and Standard has noted a tendency among a number of par ents to send their children to busi ness schools and colleges beforo they have attained sufficient pro ficiency hi educational training. Boys and girls are going to business schools for technical ♦•duration when they should he in school sev eral more years. The results will be that bays and girls will gradu ate frbm these colleges and go on; to begin their business careers, am’ will ‘find that they are not prepar ed to <Lo the work required of. them.. be worth bothering about at first, and so after killing a few, and cussing the rest, he lets them go. But they won't go. worth a cent! They stay right there and go on in creasing almost as fast as the high cost of living. They end up like the fleas in the sad tale Bill NVe used to tell about his dog; the evening of the ilday the, poor dog finally died and was buried. Nye jrot back fkom the funeral and was naturally surprised to see what he took to bb the dog sitting on the front step waiting for him. On closer inspec tion it proved to be only the fleas, which had got hack from the funer al ahead o< Nye, and had gathered there to ask him when he was go ing to get them another dog! So if you see the bags, worms, beetles and plant lice, hanging around after they have cleaned up the garden, remember that they only want to express their appreciation of past favors and will come again.

The things which can be used against them may be simplified in the same way. For the eating in sects. use a stomach poi/on.

For the, sucking insects, arsenate of lead i* practically useless, for the simple reason that they never swallow any of it. What is needed for them Is some material that will kilt them by contact.

G. Jefford*, of Charleston who haij farming; interests in low^t Colleton. Is a strong advocate of no i j should hunting on Sunday. He complains of Sabbath desecration, and other attendant evils and crigies commit,- ted. Mr. Jeffords recently took tkis matter up with the newly appointed chief game warden. W. H. Gibbcs and received from him very little encouragement or promise of assis tance in securing a "close" day for birds and other game on Sunday MY Jeffords writes: "It is certain ly ‘peculiar,’ to say the least’ that I can get no one to aid are in stop ping Sunday hunting, especially as I am considered a heathen and the others churchmen. Chief Warden Gibbes wrote Mr. Jeffords: "Personally. 1 very much sympathize with a man who is con. fined ail the week and who has an opportunity to hunt on Sundav alone. It seems to me that if I were such a man. and if the au thorities stopped me that I would feel very much disposed to bring cases against newspapers, street cars, dairies, restaurants, church choirs, aextons and any others la boring on the Sabbath. I will look Into the matter.” -» The Press and Standard Is not In favor of this desecration of the Sab bath. and is surprised at the view point of the chief game wardeQ. Can there be a proper observance of a law when the chief executive in enforcing that law. is in sympathy with its violators? If this is to be thf standard ideal of the new game warden, the question arises, has Governor Manning 1 bettered the State In this nsw appointment? The editor of The Press and Standard as a legislator voted against A. A. Richardson, former chief Aarne wardtn. all the wav through In the bitter fight ^‘aged in the legisla ture. and If' the above is n fair sample of the new- warden's ideals, we wduld feel constrained to "oppose him also.
