There Was Another Hero in Wild Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, Reminds a Writer. Paul Revere's name was made im mortal when he rode from Boston to Lexington and Concord, warning the patriots along the way of. the British approach, and his fame has been se curely enshrined in the hearts of all Americans. Historians have honored themselves In honoring him. Poets have found in spiration in praising him. He is an idol of childhood, an example in the prime of manhood and a solacing mem ory of old age. Iow few characters loom up like great peaks above the mountain ranges of time! And Paul Revere was one of these. Hie was one of the precious few great enough to gratsp an opportunity to do tan incalculable goodl to manikind. But while we give dleserved glory to Paul Revere, let us no longer forget that there was another hero int thtat wildl midnight ride, says a writer in the Christftm Hlerald. There was the horse. "Any other horse might have dotne as well,'' you think? WVell, so might tany other- man htave (done as well, perhaps. So might we flippatly dlispartage any hero.

DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina People, Gathered Around the State Capital. Columbia. Miss Edith L. Parrott, state agent for home demonstration work, has pro pared the following statement on the work done by her department to meet war conditions. "The home demonstration work un der Winthrop College and the United -States department of agriculture is now extended to 45 counties-every county in South Carolina. In 21 of the counties the main agent has an as sistant agent. This gives us 66 coun ty and assistant county home demon stration agents. Our office force will be increased as soon as possible. "The towns and cities of the state will be given more help by the home demonstration organization than ever before. From time to time home eco nomics specialists will assist the coun ty agent in giving demonstrations to city, town and rural clubs. "The mill village extension work which has heretofore been carried on by Winthrop College and the United States department of agriculture has been turned over to the home demon stration department. There is to be only one organization, all members of which will use the same literature, the same demonstration, etc. In other words, it is an extension of the home demonstration work to include mill villages, just as we are constantly ex tending our work to new communi ties and counties." "The following lines of work are being stressed at the present time: Fall gardens, fall poultry, the pre serving and canning of fall fruits such as pears, grapes, etc., wheat substitutes, meat substitutes, economy in the selection, combination and use of foods, community, county and state fairs, and marketing of surplus can ned products. "To efficiently serve our people has always been the purpose of the home demonstration work. Now at this crit ical period in the history of our coun try, when patriotism, loyalty and a desire for service should dominate the life of every one, the home demonstra tion organization stands as a unit for service. Let no one feel a hesitancy in asking for any assistance that we may be able to render." Appeals Are Not Sent Direct. Governor Manning was advised by 2. H. Cr-owder ,provost marshal gen eral, that appeals from the action of district boards should be filed directly wvith the dlistrict boards andl r.ot sent direct to the president, the pr-ovost marshal general, members of congress or to any other than the district boar-d itself. Appeals onl the gounds of de pendency will not be acted upon by the presidlent. The only claims for exemp~tion to be acted upon by the chief executive in appeals from the district board will fall within the two classes of agriculture ar.dl industrial workers. The telegram from General Crowder read: "1. By thie regulations of the presi dent governing appeals from the ac tion of the distrlct boards the claim of app~eal must b~e fled with the district board and can not 1be received if sent direct to the president, the provost marshal gener-al, members of congress or to any other than to the district board. "2. Papers, evidence and affidavits Lot considered by the district board can not be0 considered on appeal from the (district board. "The only cases in which there is an appeal to the president are cases in which a claim for discharge on the ground of engagement in agricultur-e or industry has been made in the dis tilt board. There is no appeal to the presider.t from the action of the local board in dependency or other cases where deotermination is within the jurisdiction of the local board. "4. All attempts to appeal cases other than those involving the decis ion of the district board on agricul ture or industrial exemptions from whatever source received; all affida vits, letters, arguments, evidence, pat pers or other matter' not cor.sidered by the district board; all papeals made to the president direct or sent to any other official or person in WVashlington, will have to be returned to the send er."

There was a loss of live to ten per cent of our small-grain crops in thin state last year dcue to smuts, accord, ing to a report from ('lemson College These smuts may he destroyed very easily by seed treatment. Due tc the fact that grains are of very greal importance at this time, and In most cases seed from last year's crop it to be used, it is urged that the seed be treated before planting. To prevent smuts of wheat, oats ant barley use only the very best seet obtainable, and before treating be sure to try to have the seed passed througl a fanning mill to remove light in perfect kernels and any smut ball that may not have been removed t the time of threshing. For chemical treatment of see the following methods are mo: effective: (1) Take an old molasses or o barrel, clean well, and 1111 about twc thirds full of fornolin solution-on pint of formaldehyde to forty gallon of water.
