BLv How to Sharpen Scissors.'
In the September Woman's Home
BCompanion appears a department ent/tjed
"The Exchange," in which con|Etwwtors
give practical housekeeping
suggestions. A New Jersey woman
I tells as following how to sharpen scissors:
"To sharpen scissors take a bottle
and cut with the scissors as if you
had to cut the neck of the bottle. This
ineffective."
The farmers will do well to heed
the movement now on foot to insure
the holding of a part or even all or
[the cotton crop of this year. The sit(u/ifcion
brought about by the EuropWC>
as we^ as other considerations
l.iake this action on their part
foecessary in order to obtain a living
brier for the crop.

$25.75.?Horry Farmers Will H\ivv
to Stir to Beat This.
Recently there appeared to be spmc
competition among the farmers of
Horry as to who had raised tHf largest
watermelons this year. . Several
were reported in the. Herald, the largest
one weighing forty-four pounds.
Charlotte,*N. C., comes news of
some watermelons raised near that
place which will beat the record of
anything we have yet observed in the
watermelon line.- Edgar B. By rum of
Berry Hill township, near- Charlotte,
N. C., Carried into the city one day
last weak a watermelon which tipped
the sealos at 96 pounds.. Hie sobl! iit
that day for $5.05 which, was. the record
price offered for it.
Mr. Clarence O. Koester was the
purchaser. The extra nickel wa>s adid!ed
to the designated! price in order
that it might exceed the highest previous
price, which was $5. paid several
years ago for another big melon.
According to adffl indications,, this
will be the biggest melon of the season;
for none of- the-ether large growers
have reported bigger proapects.
This melon was one of a special variety
developed in Berry HiU townBhip.
It has a dark green rind, black
seed and the meat is very sweet and
ftrnv. It bears many of the marks of
the well-known Bradford variety and
is an improvement on this type.
Mr. Byrum hud IS* melons in the
city which averaged 83 pounds apiece.
He received for the lot $25.75, which
was quite a handsome figure. ^Recently
- he had two fine melons and sold
them to Mr. Clarence B. Bryant for
$8.50. One weighed 90 and the other
f)t pounds.
In talking of the melon situation
Mr. Byrum declared that He had achieved
quite a success with his crop
this year. His patch only contains one
and three-fourths acres and he has
already sold more than $100 worth of
me.lons and had only picked over the
fractional part of Ids field. The vines
continue to grow and are fruiting out
well and Mr. Byrum expects to secure
many other fine specimens before the
season is over.

HAD FIGHT AT WAREHOUSE.
Sam Bland and George Capps Engage
In Fisticuff and Attract Crowd.
Some excitement resulted last Monday
'morning from a spirited fisticuff
between Sam Bland and George Capps
taking place near the Farmers Tobac*
co Warehouse. The trouble leading to
the fight started several days before
and on Monday morning was renewed.
The dispute arose over something
wh^ph Mr. Bland accused Mr. Capps
of saying about a member of the form
er's family. Bland wanted satisfaction
arid the fight resulted. The sheriff
came upon the acene in the thick
of the fight and took both parties into
custody. Later they were tried before
Mayor Little.
IN GOOD SHAPE.
We have not had to mobilize armies
but we did have to mob^^e our finances
and put them on a war footing,
and we have a right to feel some
complacency and satisfaction at what
we have done. Europe was quick in
rushing into war, but we have been
just as quick in preparing ourselves
for business contingencies. Our financial
experts feel that our monetary
fortifications will .hold agairiSt
all assaults, and that as' the result of
the recent legislation and of banking
precautions the country is safe from
either stringency or panic, and ready
to meet any business demands that
may arise. ?Baltimore Sun.

The Ford touring car of J. B. Skipper
decided to leave the road about 12
miles in the country from Conway
hist Sunday. In the car were several
gentlemen including Mr. Skipper and
Capt. T. N. Fullerton. Owing to a
defective steering gear the car ran
out of the road dodged several tires
but finally ran into one, throwing the
occupants out. Mr. Fullerton was
bruised about the shoulders and was
taken to the hospital where his wound
was dressed.

Terrific fighting continues on the
Austro-Russian frontier. Both the

of moving the seat of her government
from Paris to Bordeaux as a
precautionary measure, according to
official advices.
From the Austrian forces it is
stated that the Russians are being
pursued in the direction of Lublin, in
Russian Poland.
News dispatches indicate that the
Germans are pressing toward Paris
and that one army is within GO miles
of the French capital.
Paris is preparing for a siege. Outgoing
trains arc filled with noncombatants,
while troops from the south
and west are arriving to reinforce
the garrisons already in the ring of
the city's fortifications.

CARD OF THANKS.
I desire to express my gratification
to you for the very liberal support
you gave me at the recent primary
election, but I utterly fail to find
words to express my appreciation as
I feel it.
But will just say that no one could
feel more thankful than I do for the
confidence the people manifested in
me.
And I do feel a renewed inspiration
of official duty.
My highest ambition will bo to try
to maintain.the confidence of the people
by faithful service as Probate
Judge. Your humble servant,
J. S. Vaught.

Great quantities of the weed wore v

IT AMP TAX MAY BE PUT ON
SOFT DRINKS ALSO.
Washington, August 81.?A stamp
ax on soft drinks, as well as beer
nd patent medicines, is contemplated
y members of the House ways and
leans committee, which is preparing
n emergency internal revenue bill to
ffset treasury losses due to curtaillent
of imports. It is urged that soft
rinks are as much luxuries as wines
r beer, and that an equitable distriution
of the tax burden among all
onsumers would be accomplished by
his plan.
Another suggestion is a stamp tax
f 5 or 10 per cent on railroad tcketa
nd admission to theatres, baseball
arks and other licensed amusements*
t is estimated that from $50,000,000
j $80,000,000 could be raised in this
ray.
The committee has not yet deter^
lined upon a complete taxation plan,
ut purposes to hasten its delibemions
so a bill amy be introducedl
oon after President Wilson addresses
longress on the subject, which prob-.
bly will be immediately upon his reurn
from New Hampshire. Adminisration
leaders are impressed with
he necessity of quick action in order
u disturb conditions as little as poaible.

A doubling of the present tax on
eer, it is estimated by treasury exerts,
would produce $05,000,000.
>ome committee members,, however
eel that taxation of commodities othv
than beer and patent medicines
irnuld cause less popular friction.
Among the committee Democrats
here has been opposition to any war
a c at all at this session, the contenien
being that there is plenty of
available money for present needs.
