Czar Nicholas has become e bitter against Germany that k has issued an imperial edi< changing the name of St. Peter: -burg, so-called since its founds tion, to Petrograd, on account < the German form of the nan under which the city has alway been known. In this enlightened day < civilization it is hard to belies the tales of atrocities being con mitted by the soldiers of th warring nations of Europe. ] these stories are no more corre< than the other war news ser out, there is no roomn for con plaint. One nation makes thj charge and another makes denial: so there you are. We must say it makes u tired to read the many editorial from the Northern press abou "South Carolina Redeemed, '"South Carolina Readmitt~ed t the Union," etc. We haven herA of anybody around her ,ase, ing those papers for eithe sympathy or congratulation and we do not know in wha part of the state their remark~ are appreciated.

Sam Wants Better Childrei The federal department of la 4&bor has established a children' ?burean to teach parents how t care for :The children and ha ~st-isued a booklet on 'Prena tal Culture," which is for fret For some'etime Uncle Sam has -been paying considerable atten jo-the improvement of hogs -en 'nd liyestock, as wel ThUS how ,to rais4 --and potatoes, and it 1F - to find attentior - durned toward im loan race Orphan, Work Day September 26th Our people haye become fam ihar with the meaning of thE words Orphan Work Day. They mean simply this, that there arE in our orphan institutions a great number of fatherless chil dren, dependent upon the loving care of the Christian people it this state. As the only mean. of their support is from thi voluntary gifts of generous men women and vouth, it may veri well happen and it does happen that the supplies for the suppor of these thousands of orphans run short at the end of the sum mer, and immediate relief i! needed. And hence the inven tive mind of a zealous Georgic Methodist preacher made thi suggestion that on the last Sat urday of September, which i the 26th day of this month, ou people proceed diligently to worl as usual and that they divide th< e proceeds of that day's work o their regular income for tha day, to the support of such e one of our orphan institution as appeals to them. - , There are in South Carolina the Thornwell Orphanage a Clinton, the Connie Maxwel , Orphanage at Greenwood, th Epworth Orphanage at Colum a bia, each with about; 300 pupil in charge, (and every one o them in need of prompt assist I ance); then there is the Churcl f Home at Yorkville*with abou 100 pupils in all more than , thousand children. The churche and Sabbath Schools of th various denominations shouli e vie with each Other in seeinj e who will do the best for thei orphans. Gifts from individual can be sent at once or later; th gifts from Churches and Sun day Schools immediately afte the 27th day of September whe1 e the collections will be taken u: Send to the institution of you choice. e Revisitmg the Old Home Tow - The New York Press tells o the following dialogue: "Where's Jack Wilkins, whi y used to be the strongest boy i1 o the school?" e "He's running the trimminj t department in his wife's millin s ery store."

The Country Editor e The duties of a country edito - are numerous and varied. Pec e ple who sometimes complaii f that their little home weekl: t does not contain as much new t as the more pretentious dailie - published in the cities overlool the fact that dozens, and 11 a many cases, scores of men con tribute to the production of th larger papers, while all the worn 3 on a weekly is sometimes don a by a single individual. J us t how numerous and yaried-ar: 'the tasks of the latter is disclos y ed by a paragraph in the lates t issue of the Glenwood (Mo. Journal. In explaining that h< had changed the size and forn 3 of his paper so as to save timi t in makeup, printing and hand ling, the editor of the Journa .says: "For one pE rson to gather th l news. set the type, makeup th ,forms. print the paper, disti i hute the type, do the job work~ . collect the bills pay the. debts a listen to kicker's. sweep the of fice, kick the cat, carry in coal a build the fines, and do a thous i and .and one things in tha course of a week is no littli matter, hence we have change< the paper to a size that we cai t issue to better advantage." In the face of this explanatioi anyone objecting to the changi should be bored for the simple and then taken out and shot a sunrise. - Every Little Bit When the whole blame world seem gone to pot, And business is on the bum.

ISow More Grain and every farmer will sow five acres of oats to the plow, adthree aci-es of wheat to the plow, on ground. that is wel prepared and well fertilized, he will make enough 1 wheat and-oats to do-him. aThe corn crop is likely to be short in this section, as the seasons ~ have not been favorable for making corn. If the- war in Europe continues for a long-time, there will -be a tremendous amount of corn and wheat and oats ex Iported to Europe, and this will make corn, wheat and oats high. - . - September is a good d .ne to sow oats. -Prepare .the aground carefully and- thoroughly before you get to pick m ig cotton' arid fertilize it with about 300 pounds to the acre of say, 10-1-3 or 10.14, your oats will get well root. ed before the cold weather comes on and it sown in the adrill it is about as sure a crop as you can plant. These aoats will come in early next spring and will help out a Sshort corn crop. Now and then you hear of a farmer sowing oats in August, and we believe the August sowing always makes a good crop. September is a capital time to sow oats and we believe it will pay you mighty well to sow some this fall. It always pays to prepare your land well, and to fer tilize it well.
