' DRAINAGE MATTERS AMICABLY SETTLED Suits Growing Out of Drainage Contract at Wampee Compromised SEVERAL BUSINESS MEN AS WELL AS FARMERS Entered Into This Drainage Contract to Drain Little Rivfir Swamn. The attorneys representing the parties in a suit which has been pending in the court of Common Pleas here for some time, concerning a drainage contract entered into by various land owners in Little River Swamp, near Wampee; went to Wampee on Thursday of last week for the purpose of settling the litigation if possible. The parties on both sides are business men at Wampee and farmers who own lands in Little River Swamp. They agreed several months ago to leave the settlement of the case to their attorneys whom they had employed in the cause. Thursday was a bad day but the principal parties concerned met a* Wampee and consulted with the attorneys; and as a result of the negotiations the matter was tentativeI.. 4 4 i ? .1 i. _ 4 l. _ 4r 4.: e _n _r iv aei/ueu vu me stuisiucuun ui an ui the parties. Those who are interested in this matter principally are: Messrs. M. B. Thompson, W. E. Gore, J. L. Bell, R. L. Bell, B. E. Bell, Vance Ward, and others. Lands in Little River swamp are very fertile when thoroughly drained. This contract for draining the lands was signed up a number of years ago. The work never went on very satisfactory all of the time but what has been done benefitted the lands materially, and greatly improved the value. Owing to disputes growing out of certain portions of the contract which perhaps worked out differently from what had been anticipated, a law suit was filed by members of the company against other members. The friends of the parties will be glad to know that it will be satisfactorily adjusted. NORWEGIAN NOTE SENT TO GERMANY Christiana.?The Norwegian note replying to the German protest against the U-boat ordinance of October 13 was delivered to the German ambassador here. The controversy between Norway and Germany over the submarine question reached an acute stage with the passage of the ordinance of October 13 by King Haakon's government. Submarines of belligerent powers were forbidden to traverse Norwegian waters except in cases 0/ emergency. In the latter instance they were directed to remain upon the surface and fly their national flag. Mercantile submarines - were also ordered to remain on the surface and display their country's colors. This ordinance provoked strong feeling in Germany and Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the German under secretary for foreign affairs, was quoted in a Copenhagen paper as saying that the German note of protest would be a serious one and that Germany would not calmly submit to the action of the Norwegian government. o THOROUGH WORK 'How a Cor.way Citizen Found Freedom From Kidney Troubles.

(Charleston Post.; The opinion which has. been expressed by Attorney General Pceplcs, in which he holds that there is no law to prevent a common carrier from delivering whiskey "after sundown" in South Carolina, will not affect or help those Charlestonians who would like to get their gallon after hours, at least at present, foi* the Southern Express agent here, G. W. Bascot, stated today that he would continue to close the office at "sundown" and wonlrl linfr Ifonn at night unless it bceame necessary. During the holliday rush many a person will have to wait his turn to be served and some few would like to return after the evening shadows have fallen to get his Christmas supply, but this will not be the case unless the business becomes so heavy that it can not be handled and in that event the local express may keep open at night. The police department will probably be keenly interested in this new ruling, for officials say that this will make the duties of those enforcing the prohibition laws more difficult, since a blind tiger can more readily make his escape in the darkness than he can in the daylight. It lias been generally understood in this State that a common carrier, in this meaning the express company, could not deliver a package of liquor after sunset or before sunrise, but in his ruling the attorney (yrnpr'il ?a\ro 1-1 U1UI 111; LUII 1 I I1U IIULIIing in the new law relative to the hours of delivery and it is therefore his opinion that the express company may, if it chooses, deliver liquor to any consignee at any hour of the day or night. o The Qulnlna That Does Not Atfact The Head Because of ita tonic and laxative effect, LAXAT1V?

C.?This insect makes the large holes in bobs and squares in late summer and fall. It is the same as the corn ear worm and the tomato fruit worm. Its preferred fo d is corn in the dough I stage. Before that time it attacks tomatoes and after that time it attack.* coupons, beans, etc. When winter coir.cs the caterpillar burrows into the soil to a depth of 2 1-2 Inches where it makes its cell in which it spends the winter as a pupa. The damage is rarely heavy enough to warrant expensive operations, but the insect passes the winter successively on cotton land and corn land that is left undisturbed from harvest time to planting the following spring. Late fall plowing, winter disking, early spring plowing, are effective measures against this insect. The least damage occurs on such farms where rotation is systematically practiced, including winter cover crops. CITY CONVENIENCES IN THE COUNTRY Clemson College, S. C.?City conveniences in the country may have been looked upon as a dream at one time, but along with other dreams of even such things as submarines and aeroplanes, it has become a reality. Not only is it possible to have city conveniences in the farm home, but such things are now looked upon as necessities. All good farmers have been looking forward to the time when they could have hot and cold water running in their kitchens and bathrooms, and have only been held back by the cost. Now it is possible to equip the home with this convenience at a small cost. Many a farmer has hoped to emancipate himself and his family from the poor service, inconvenience a: d danger of oil lamps, and now he is cashing in on his opportunities and enjoying the bright lights of electricity or gas. Farmers' wivr?s ran th*?iv hue. bands install telephones, and thus bring the whole community to the phone stand, where she can talk as much as she pleases. All these conveniences can be had , in the country at reasonable costs, ' and should be had to make country life more enjoyable. aider-Serial f mystery, advenid thrill. ? jv nn A J m lg xuuay ing Shadow Released by Pathe CE DARMOND r BARY and CELLARD Greatest Serial. o v 1LD, CONWAY, 8. 0. SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR FEEDING SILAGE Clemson College, S. C.?About 30 pounds of silage per day is required by the dairy cow, while a beef animal will consume one-third more or possibly a still greater amount. It win noi hurt u cow to feed her all that she will consume if the silage is good and is fed regularly. When the time comes for feeding silage the top layer, which will be found to be molded, should be removed. The molded part usually extends for several inches below the surface. At least two inches of sil-: age should be fed each day in order! to prevent the formation of the mold. The top of the silage should be kept level so as to expose .the smallest surface possible to the air. Only enough silage for one feeding should be put out as it soon dries out if not fed at once. Wants to Fight. New York City, Nov. 22.?Because he is a good porch-climber, rifle-shooter, and has other marked accomplishments, Amandus Kessler wants to get out of jail at Easton, Pa., and become a fighter for Uncle Sam in the ranks of the United States Marine Corps, according to an appealing letter addressed to the Marine Recruiting Station in this city.

One of the largest of the family known as wolf spiders is the tarantula of southern Europe, which gets Its name from the fact that it abounds in the neighborhood of the Italian city of Tarento. These spiders live in holes in the ground or under stones, from which they wander forth like wolves in search of prey. The bite of such a spider was once considered very poisonous and was supposed to cause a nervous disease called tarantism. The cure for this disease was to dance a wild dance called by its name until the person fell exhausted. Now and then a tarantula Journeys to the north from Central America in a bunch of bananas. A large species of spider ranging from Missouri to the south is called the Texas tsrniitlilA.

Conversation in the smoke room of the hotel had got round to haunted houses, and grewsoine yarns of mysterious noises and unaccountable bell ringings In a house In the immediate neighborhood were being recounted. But there was a skeptic In the party who made himself heard. "Come to that," he said. "I ought to be pretty good in the haunting line. I reckon 1 could make a dozen bells ring in this very place without touching one of them." "Nonsense!" was the universal chorus. and the young man said never a word. Instead he opened a cupboard door near by and turned oft the gas. In less than two minutes every bell in the house was ringing, and by the time fresh light was shed on the subject the old hands had to admit that the "young 'un certainly knew something."?London Tit-Bits. Unequally Armed. Uncle Eph, an old colored man, was up In court accused of steullng a watch. He pleaded not guilty and. moreover, brought against the complainant a countercharge of assault. The man, he declared, had tried to kill him with an iron kettle. During the cross examination the attorney. Lawyer Rennet, demanded. "Dare you to say that my client attacked you with an Iron kettle?" "Dat what he done, sab." replied Uncle Epli. with a nervous gulp. "With an iron kettle, eh?" sarcastically reiterated the lawyer. ''That's a line story for a big. strong fellow like you to try to impose upon this honorable court. And had you nothing with which to defend yourself?" "Only de watch, sah." was the unwary reply.

TO ADMIT WOMEN TO MEDICAL COLLEGE Chair of Public Health Also Discussed by Trustees. Columbia, Nov. 22.?At the meeting of the board of trustees of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina held today in the office of Gov. R. I. Manning at the State House, it was decided that hereafter women may be admitted to the institution to take up the study of medicine. The board also discussed the advisability of establishing a chair of public health at the institution to be run in cooperation with the State Department of Health. In regard to the admission of women to the State institution, the action of the board was unanimous. Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., dean of the college, made the recommendation.} A petition from the South Carolina Federation of Women's clubs requesting such a step was read. The question of establishing a choir of public health at the institu- j tion iw&s discussed at length by the Members, all of them being heartily in oiw?K ^ -' ?-?5 ii ihtvi v i ii, It it IS Ut'l'IHCU practicable. Philip Gadsden, of Charleston, made a strong plea for the new chnir, citing its need in the State, and stressing the fact that the medical profession is realizing the need of guidance of the health of the community as against that of the individual. Other members of the j board also spoke in favor of the matter, citing instances of where medical men in the State of South Carolina had to go to institutions of learning in other States in order to secure the information that they desired. The meeting adjourned at 2:30 o'clock. To Recruit Marines. Washington, D. C., Nov. 29.?Postmasters are to lend assistance to the United States Marines in the securing of recruits and will be paid $5.00 for each ^accepted applicant, according to an official announcement made by the Major General Commandant U< tuat KH gtlIU?UUUn. Hereafter the military-looking youth w7> appears at the post office may fail to be attracted by the gaily colored poster depicting the life of a Marine, but he can scarcely escape the appraising eye of the postmaster or the latter's query: "say, young "ellow?why don't you join the Marines ?" Doubtless, the young man with military inclinations will bring little apprehensive shivers to his sweetheart when she suspects his frequent conversations with the postmaster are relative to the arrival and departure of "males."

I w J COLUMBUS, OMIO 82VKB FINDS MENACE IN MORMON CHURCH Woman Speaker Says Joseph Smith Defeated Prohibition in Utah ? . i DECLARES SECT IS RICHEST IN WORLD Holds Balance of Power in 11 States and May Control Congress Yet. Indianapolis, Ind.?Addressing the national conference of the Women's Christian Tamperance Union today on "Mormonisfa," its "polygamy ami treason," Mrs. Lulu Cleveland Sheppard, of the National Reform Association, asserted that Joseph Smith, head of the Mormon Church, defeated prohibition in Utah in 1909, and again in 1915. "Mormonism has grown more rapidly in the last fifty years than any other church, and today one physician in every sixty is a Mormon," said Mrs. Sheppard. "The power of the Mormon Church lies in its commercial wealth, for, as a church, it is the richest in the world. The church today has $27,000,000 bearded up in Wall Street, and there is $200,000,000 more money in Utah. I The sugar business in the United \ Slates is controlled by the church, and it holds the balance of power politically in eleven States. If it gets control of two more Western States, it can hold the balance of power in Congress.", Mrs. Sheppard said the whole nature of the Mormon Church must be changed, and that to bring this about the National Reform Association was working t0 get an anti-polygamy amendment through Congress this winter. Appeal for French Children. Discussing relief work, Mrs. Leela ! M. Swell, of the department of flow: ers mission said: "There is now a crv from nrrno* ww v Mv' the sea from 300,000 children in France, whose fathers have given their lives for their country. "The French government allows ten cents a day for the support of each of these children; there is a society formed in France with branches in this country that asks to have this ten cents supplemented by another, and some people are responding to the call of this society. "We already have started this work in Massachusetts. It seems to mc that this cry of the children should perhaps be heard above all others by the Women's Christian Temeperance Union. Value of News Items. The value of news articles to the to the "efficiency congress" by Mrs. Union was explained in detail today Susan McWhirter Osrtum, of Indian apolis, superintendent of the press department. She told the delegates that local organizations would better hold one mooting and have it reported well than four and have no reports in the papers. She also advised the delegates to tell their locals not to question the editors who "cut" the material furnished. She said any news item concerning the work of the Union is worth more than a much larger amount of paid advertising. Mrs. Lettie Hill May, of St. Louis, 1 Mo., in an address, said she had ! found move local unions die through inefficient leadership than any other one cause. Following the address on various subjects at the "efficiency congress" reports of standing committees were read. The final report of the executive committee was to be read late this afternoon. o !
