Malt wLgai' sii-up is a brand-now p
sweet which has arrive<l on a com- C
mcrcial scale at the psychological 11
c
moment to relieve the sugar shortage, j
say the specialists of the Bureau of
Chemistry, United States Department
of Agriculture, who have invca- I
ti gated various substitutes for sugar. *
I Jn addition to being a sweet, malt
sugar sirup has a delicious flavor,
somewhat resembling that of honey,
which adds much to its palatability
and value as a sugar substitute.
Commercial Production Beginning '
While malt sugar has long been c
known to chemists, its production on (:
a commercial scale is only beginning. *
Two factors have stimulated its pro- 1!
iduction recently. The shortage of a
I sugar has developed a market for it. 11
and the recent prohibition law has
made available both the raw material ^
Snd the machinery needed for .its
^ jnanuf'acture. Malt sugar sirup is ,
HKriiade from the same grains as beer, s
^Kand may be made from corn or po- ^
| fjtatnes or any plant containing starch. 0
fearlcy, which wts used until recently v
fin the manufacture of beer, can be ?
used now to produce malt sugar 8
;sirup. v
Breweries, with very little change, v
can be used and are now being used ^
for its manufacture. Up to certain a
point, the process for making malt 1
sugar sirup is the same as the process ^
for making beer. Evaporating pans ?
is the principal additional equipment v
required by breweries to become
malt 'jugar sirup factories.
F.\ eel lent Substitute for Sugar
Mi t sugar looks very much like {
maple sirup. It can bo used for every ^
thing that canc sugar is used for.
While its use on the table may not be I
quite as convenient as sugar, it is a
most excellent substitute for table us ^
when sugar is not to be had, as it not
only provides sweetness but is equal
to sugar in food value. For cooking
and baking purposes and for making
candy Mis not only equal to sugar in
conveni^ice and food value but is su- ?
per ior for some uses because it will
not so readidly crystallize.
Used in Manufacture of Candy
.Malt sugar sirup is now being sold
5n large quantities to commercial ^
bakeries and candy and soft-drink p
manufacturers, who use it in place of
sugar. The wholesale price as quo^- ?
ed in recent advertisements in trade j*
papers and elsewhere is from 7 to 9
icents per pound in barrel lots. Many ?
retail grocers do not handle it yet (
because there has been little demand ?
for it on the part of housewives.
Grocers can now obtain it and no
doubt will be glad to do so as the de^
mand for it increases. Housewives ?
/can mc\\ conserve their dwindling e
^^upp>fyVof sugar by using it in cook- ^
Hbg, baking, and homemade confecHrTions,
and evert on the table for 1
sweetening coffee, oatmeal, and desserts.
It can be used for every pur- ?

housewives want it, the grocers will *
get it. *
Although m.nlt suvar sii*up is becalled
upon,' so far as household 1
Use is concerned, merely as a pinch *
hitter in the present emergency, tho v
specia'ists expect that it will make f
such o batting average that it will
hereafter have a regular place in the
batting order. This is a case where
the ri'/iptitute makes so good that j
the r<vjalar, whose place it takes, may j
have to warm the bench. While it is j
not likelv that this new sweet will f

OF BRICKS NEEDED
The Herald is considerably behind
n procuring the bricks to build the ad
ition to the building. This new adiition
is needed in order to take
are of the new plant that the paper
s under contract to purchase. The
.mount of bricks needed is estimated
t thirty thousand. So far only less
han five thousand bricks arc on the
round.
The small quantity on the ground
/ere obtained from a kiln of about
ixty thousand opened for sale last
tonday morning at the brick yards
f Mr. H. P. Little. These bricks
/ere badly needed by fanners and
thers, and the Herald could only
et what it could while the bricks
/ere being sold. "With the small lot
:c have no start can be made on the
iuilding. The brick yards will open
nother kiln which is now being made
eady in about two weeks, possibly
hrce. The Herald has the promise
f enough out of that to finish up
/hat is needed for the work.
The building may be under way by
anuary 1st, possibly before.
iOOD RESULTS FROM
ONE BOX SUPPER
Some time ago the Pauley Swamp
chool District sustained almost an
ntire loss of the school building
,nd equipment by fire.
The trustees with the co-operation
f the patrons, have just completed
n up-to-date latest model two -com
uilding, and Saturday night, Nov.
2, had a Box Supper to raise money
o equip the new building.
The ladies of the community preured
a lot of nice boxes and two
retty cakes. Mr. Ivy Cook was aplointed
auctioneer and he was a good
ne. He. sold the boxes for about
90. After those who had bought
exes had fo\lnd their partners and
mptied their boxes, all gathered to
lippose of the cakes. One of the
akes was put on a table and Misses
Florence Bourne and Dephia Wiliamson
were appointed to choose,
tfter all had been chosen, they were
^iven fifteen minutes to bid. At the
xpiration of the time, the^moncy
yas $51 to $69 in favor of Miss
lourne. The other cake was (lisp .slosed
of by a lively cake walk an*I
rlr. Charley Mishoe and Miss Maj;
fie Martin was the lucky couple.
The entire proceeds of the box sup
>er amounted to $220.00. The ladies
u mi shed the boxes and cakes free,
["he trustees extend them their
hunks for their tr.tcrest, to the
'oungf men for their liberality and to

Columbia.?South Carolinians ar<
"between the devil and the deep blu<

I the coming winter weather. In the
face of the coal shortage they an
hoping for a mild winter, and yet?
Agriculture authorities of tin
State, including B. Harris, commis
sioner of agriculture, are very strong
in their predictions that unless then
is a very severe winter the farmer)
of the State will next year face ruin
at ion in their cotton fields. "The boi
weevil will ruin the entire cotton cro]
next year, unless there is a sever*
winter to set him back to a consider
able extent," said Commissioner o
Agriculture Harris in speaking of th<
progress made by the boll vveefil t'
date. \
It is stated by these specialists ii
cotton that a mild winter, which wil
be desirous from the fuel viewpoint
will not do much injury to the weevi
and next spring will find him wel
entrenched {jnd well started on a bus;
season of cotton destruction. The;
state that a very severe winter wil
not kill out the weevil, but that i
will materially set him back.
The weevil is making considerabl
progress. The lower part of th
State, especially the southwesten
comer, is covered with the pest, an<
he is even making his way into th<
upper counties. In a few of the coun
ties above Columbia, Chester an*
Greenwood and others; the weevil ha
made his appearance. He has beei
found in Richland and other countie
in the central part of the State
though as yet his damage is not ma
terial in this central section.
State Senator Thos. B. Pearce, o
Columbia, has just returned from
tour of South Georgia, where he in
spected boll weevil conditions. H
rays he saw fields where it woul<
take 15 to 20 acres to produce a bal
of cotton. At the same time he say
he saw that the farmers there ar
learning that cotton must be plante
as a surplus crop, and that divcrsifi
cation is their salvation. He expres

MAGISTRATE COURT
CONTINUES CASE
Magistrate W. H. Chestnut las!
Thursday continued indefinitely the
case of the State against Kelley Ellison,
charged with breaking and entering
the small tenant house of W. H
Graham, aftter he had peen turned
nilf Kv MnnfiKfiui*" W'l ^
?"v ?/,! in. . DUIKT, on !)
warrant of ejectment. Ellison claim:
that he went in and held the house
under orders from Delila Graham, n
sister of W. H. Graham, who came m
and laid claim to the small fiel
where the house is situated, aftei
these proceedings in the Magistrate
Court, at Loris, had been instituted
It appears, however, that the nrgrc
Ellison was a laborer for W. H. Graham,
and that W. H. Graham being .1
possession of this place at the time
placed Ellison in the house in que tion;
and it was held by the coirt
that Ellison having gone in under on<
man, could not claim to hold undei
another, as that would be unfair.
On motion of the prosecutior
who lacked a material witness, tin
case against Ellison was laid ovoi
until all parties are notified later t<
appear for trial.
In the court of Common Pleas o
the county, there is a civil suit pond
ing between Delia Graham and W. H
Graham, and the determination o
that ease will settle the. dispute be
tween them about the land. Then
was a number of parties and the!
witnesses here last Thursday in read
iness for the trial.
