(irritations of the day.
In the schoolroom the children hard
to manage who cause most of the
trouble are the ones wjio are troubled
themselves—who are in some sort of
ill health, who have poor home en
vironment, who are unhappy.
In large families where one child
occasions more worry poorer health
or more highly strung nerves.
Ill-health f some sort is the secret
of most of the cantankerousness of
childhood. ,
Among grown-ups the trcaible-mak-
era are also the troubled.
The criminal class is, almost with
out exception, composed of those who
are physically or mentally sick.
The jealous husband or wife ie a
trouble maker who is troubled. He
Over 17,004 New Laws.
Senator Borah says we make too
many laws. This country will be M ;
republic in name, and a bureaucracy

sale lawmaking machine. Not all the
laws are made in Washington. Forty
eight Legislatures are busy. The
new laws suggested here and there

However, civilisation itself,
to say nothing of this glorious repub
lic, is an experiment, in its infancy.
Children try many things, all trying
is useful. Even if they bum their
flngere, that’s useful. It teaches them
to avoid fire.
Each law is an experiment, an ef
fort to remedy something wrong or
establish something good. Once men
were hanged, by lew, not by lynching,
for steeling a horse. Now they steal
automobiles, and hanging for hor*e
thieves automatically disappears. Not
the foolish things we plan but what
we actually do counts. If one of the
17,000 new laws could discoura<e
crime without "cruel and unusual pun
ishment” that would be . blessing
The Two-Thirds Kale.
The People-Sentinel this week pub-
lishes an article from the pen of John
H. Perry concerning the abrogation of
“the two-thirds rule.” Ever since the
last Democratic National Convention
in New York in 1924. there has been a
concerted effort on the part of cer
tain aspirants for the Presidency and
their friends to abolish this rule and
substitute in its stead the choice of
the majority.
There is much to be said on both
sides of this proposition. Choice of a
nominee by a majority vote is demo
cratic. It governs the selection of
cnadidatea in our own State and coun
ty primary eleetkma. On the other
hand, the two-thirds rule has long
been regarded a* “the South’s veto"—
that is, under its operation heretofore
it has been impossible to nominate a
candidate who was distasteful to this
section.
Whatever may be one’s views on
this matter, it is safe to predict that,
in all probability, the two«thirds rule
will be oast overboard and the standard
bearer of Democracy in 1928 will be
chosen by a majority vote.

Sunday School Assn.
Holds Monthly Meet
Denmark, Feb. 1.—The Barnwell As
sociation of Methodist Sunday Schools
held its regular monthly meeting at
the Denmark Methodist Church Sun
day afternoon. The gathering was
*
largely attended and was considered a
splendid meeting from every stand
point The Denmark people were
most hospitable to their many guests
and it was truly a great occasion in
the Methodist Sunday School endeavor
of. this community.
Capt. James Guess, of Denmark, is
president of the association and he
displayed much interest and made a
fine talk. Other appropriate ta'ks
which were calculated to result in
much benefit were made by the Rev.
D. A. Phillips, local Methodist preach
er, Mr. Spigner, formerly superintend
ent of the Denmark public schools,
Mr. Brandon, superintendent of the
Olar schools, and Mr. A. B. Utsey, a
prominent leligious worker of Bam

A Safe Farm Program
For Barnwell County,
•
■ /
On the 18th of January a County
Agricultural Council Advisory Board
was organized. A meeting was held
at the county agent’s office and nine
of the twelve members were pres
ent. This advisory board is made up
of representative farmers and busi
ness men from different sections of the
county. Mr. A. H. Ward, District
Agent, attended the meeting and dis
cussed with the board and county
agent a suggested program for the
farmers of this county this year. Due
to the extremely low price of cotton
at present, it appears more necessary
thsn ever before that farmers turn-
their attention to a safe program of
farming. After a full discussion oy
those present a definite program was
adopted and farmers are urged to
follow it and it is believed that those
who do will find their farming more
profitable than heretofore. The pro
gram adopted is given below and it
should be carefully studied to see how
well it meets the situation with which
we are now faced:
1. Grow food and feed enough for
the family and all livestock.
(a) Have a good all-year garden
and „ home orchard. Produce a sur
plus for canning.
(b) Grow all the pork needed for
home use.
(c) Keep one or more good cows
so as to supply all .the milk and but
ter needed.
(d) Raise all the poultry and eggs
the family can uae and some to sell
(e) Grow sufficient sweet potatoes
for entire farm.
(f) Grow sugar cane or sorghum
for syrup.
(g) Keep some bees for honey pro
duction.
(h) Grow all the feed needed for
work stock, poultry, hogs and cows.
(i) Provide a good permanent pas»/{\
ture for livestock.- - '•- r *
(j) Use only good pure bred *if3s
in a ll classes of livestock. #
2. Build up and maintain the fer
tility of the soil.
(a) Rye,'oats, vetch and mixture of
small grain and vetch for .fall sowing
to be plowed under in the spring are
the crops most commonly grown dur
ing the winter.
(b) Cowpeas, soybeans and vel
vet beans should be grown as summer
soil building crops.
3. Cotton.
(a) Plant the best cotton seed ob
tainable of varieties of proven merit.
(b) Co-operate in reducing the
number of varieties grown.
(c) Grow more and better cotton
on fewer acres.
(d) Fertilize well, reduce acreage
to ten acres per plow or less.
4. Truck Crops.
. (a) Fertilize well.
(b) Plant early.
(c) Use gpod seed.
(d) Market high quality products.
5. Combat promptly all insects and
plant diseases.—H. G. Boylston, Co.
Agent.
