FLAYSLAWYERS WITHOUT GLOV ES Educated Rascals in Legislature and Halls of v/uiiyi coo WANTS FARMERS TO WAKE UP Republicans Want to Shift Cost of War From Rich to Laboring Classes 1 wonder what the lawyers, as well as others, think as to why I wrote that lawyer lambasting: article to the press some days ago. No doubt the average politician will say: Hodges wants to get in politics; well, such is not the case. 1 have never run for office -and certainly never expect to; so forget about that charge. Some might say that it j must have been from prejudice and I enmity against the lawyers; that charge is untrue, as the most of' the lawyers I know are powerful clever gentlemen and great friends of mine. The preachers tell us, you have pot to tell a man about his sins and show him how met?n he is before you can convert him. I want to tell you lawyers of the state who have been running the affairs of state for the Oast. t.ftn nv (wpIva troot.o *V.?? t ' ? ?- v?? v.. ? v, tr v/?i n niai you have raised all sorts of rows among the people; great enmity and strife at times have been engendered, and it looked at times as if the old ahip of state was about shot to pieces. Frightful political excitement among all classes of people does great harm and especially among our farming people. We want lawyers to go on and run the Courts so that they may not be the laughing stock of all the people. We want protection, peace and law enforcement and no foolishness about it. There are thousands and thousands of dollars of the people's money wasted around these court houses that there is no necessity for j All kinds of confusing laws are put n the books that are totally unnecessary. Any commonplace business man recognizes that there is no business management eoing on around the court house. You often train a man in the science of law and he knows nothing about the i science of economics. This kind of j lawyer has no right to be vested J with the power of imposing millions j of dollars in taxes on the people, j and so long as the people persist in j electing :suoh men to make and ex- ^ ecute these laws we are going to, have bitter strife and confusison in .. fl*.. : .1 1 aililHS iVI'V. nijuswin;*; , in law administration. There is a va^t difference between a demagogue haranguer and the sneech of n statesman. Any Kick ally anarchist can fire some, parts of most any audience to the destruction point; hut I don't believe that there is a decent lawyer in the state who stands for such rotten statesmanship. H owever, they have such men as these in the profession and some of them run for office .and get elected, and then you have the devil to play. An educated rascal is a dangerous man to put in authority over the people. "When the wicked rule, the people mourn." Then comes echoing down the ages, a denunciatory message from one "who "pake as never man spake." You will find it in St. Luke 10-40: "And He said, woe unto you also, ye lawyers; for ye Ude men with burdens grievous to borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Look all over South Carolina todav and see how true is the foregoing declaration. The great tax burden has been shifted by our lawyer statesmen from the ricn anu proni-pronucing class to tpp hacks of the poor devps residing: in -the boll weevil infested districts which is all over South Carolina. There is no higher authority ever revealed to man than that quoted above It' we be brave, intelligent and seK respecting men and women wo win n^ver allow again the state's Chief Executive to he a lawyer. ind the General A.ssenil>lv to be dominated bv Viwvers. It must not and cannot be done. Men and women of South Carolina, living on the farms; do von love your chi1 dren ? Do vou respect yourslovos ? f know you do. Then in God's name arise in your manhood and womanhood and become a unit, thereby saving ourselves from the scheming, manipulating lawyer politicians. There is no doubt in my mind that a year before the elections come off the entire state ticket will have already been fixed and decided upon and they won't be fixed by farmers, either. Turn your eyes to Washington for a tew moments and what a ghastly nationwide picture; let the demagogues curse Woodvow Wilson hs much as they please; but oip to the time of the November elections Inst year there was not a man or woman in the United States who wanted tr job, but who had it and at their own price too. The government now say* that there are G.000,000 forced idle people in the country today. Gonv pers. the gre/it labor leader, savs the\ are losing $27,000,000 per day. A Republican congress means to shift -the cost of the great war from th< rich to the laboring man by way o a sales tax and property tax.

Help me arouse the people'to action. 1 hope that the farmers all over South Carolina will write their views'on the subject to the press.

HOW TO COMBAT RATS, WEEVILS County Agent Issue Directions ' For Eradication of The i Destructive Pests Rats And weevils are worse this year than in a long' while, according to reports which have come in to J. Ward McLendon, county agent. Anticipating probable heavy losses to stored crops, he has issued a special letter, 1,000 copies of it, to the farmers of Florence county, to instruct them how to combat easily both of these expensive pests. i Copies of the letter are being mailed now. However, should anyone fail to receive a copy of the in structions he should notify the county agent, who will be glad to forward a special copy. The instructions contained in this letter are as follows: For Weevils.?Use 5 pounds of carbon disulphide to* 1,000 cubic feet of space. Make bins and barns tight as possible, especially on sides and bottom as the gas is heavier than air. Put liquid in open vessels and sprinkle on top of grain. Let fumigation last for 24 hours, then throw door open. Keep fire away because gas is inflammable. Barium Carbonate for Ra1s.?Ono of the cheapest and most effective poisons tor r.ats awl mice is barium carbonate. This mineral has the advantage of being- without taste or smell. It has a corrosive action on the mucuous lining of the stomach and is dangerous to larger animals if taken in sufficient quantity. In small doses fed to rats and mice it would not be dangerous to domestic animals. Its action on rats and mic?i is slow, and if exit is posible the animals usually leave the premises in search of water. For this reason it is. not as disagreeable .as poisoning with strychnine or arsenic. Barium carbonate may be fed in the form of dough composed of four parts of meal or flour to one part of the mineral. Many, use oatmeal with one-eighth its bulk in mineral mixed with water to make a stilT dough. The prepared bait should be placed in rat runs about a ,teaspoonj ful at a place. If .one application fails | to get rid of all rats it should be repentrd with change of bait. Many drug stores carry barium carbonate in small packages with full directions for its use. BE SURE TOCLEAN HOUSE Save the Sweet Potatoes From Rotting by Taking This Precaution Columbia.?If the Managers of the Sweet lV>t:tto Curing Houses in South Carolina wiU herd the advice given by the South Carolina Development Board to disinfect the .tor iage houses before filling them with the new crop, the losses from the so called Storage Rots will be greatl\ reduced if not c.tirely eliminated. From present indications the sweet potato crop in South Carolina that will be cured this year will be a comparatively small one, and this calls for saving every potato which will grade No. 1 and 2.

ADVISED BY BANKERS i Columbia.?Bankers of Darlington county at a "meeting unanimously passed a resolution indorsing the cooperative marketing of cotton and advising the farmers of that county to sign the contract. This Action was taken after Alfred Scarborough, a member of the organization committee of the South Carolina Cottor. Growers' Co-operative Association had addressed the meeting. o? FORCES INDORSE .MARKETING OF COTTON Clemson College. ? "Co-operative marketing of cotton must be one of our main goals' this fall and next spring," declared W. W. Long, director of the Extension Service, in closing the annual meeting of the extension forces here on Friday night, after the body had indorsed by unanimous vote the principle of co-operative marketing of farm products and piecigcd the active support of the entire Extension Service forces in the campaign now being put on in thi state to organize the farmers for cc. operative marketing of cotton. "We want the farmers of the state to r<*iM ize tlvAt we know that the movement is one of the best and most important movements ever begun by and for our farmers." Mr. Long stated in making public the resolution passed by tl\<~ Extension Service. In this connection it should bo star cd that a large place on the program of the annual meeting was given t. the subject of co-operative marketing.

Weston, of Columbia, Unite! States Attornev fo> the Eastern District of South Cnro linn, in a letter addresser! to E. T) Smith, United States Senator from j South Carolina, calls for an investi J nation of the cotton exchanges, which i j he ch; lvres with the deflation of the price of cotton in the face of thf hort cron. He re<iuested the int.ro> duction of a resolution in Congress a sic in.or for the .ascertainment of the amountof spinnahle cotton held in America and Europe. Mr. Westor . asks that American consuls in Europe he instructed to investigate the amount of cotton on hand at various ' points of the continent and that agfix cultural agents in this country ascer? tain the Amount on hand in the Unitt ed States. In the face of a 0,000,000 * hale crop, Mr. Weston says the small? est crop in a quarter of a century, col i ton is continually going down. He - tells Senator Smith that the crop in 1 this state is practically gathered and f the return is only a small function of - a normal crop. Unless there is'a f good price for the staple this year s says the letter to the Senator, the ^ condition of the farmers and of all 1 the industry will be distressing.
