XEW TIt \I > NEEDED. with one very Important exception the schedule of trains to and from Laurens Is very satisfactory but that exception almost entirely disconnects , a large portion of the county from the county seat. There is emphatic need I of a new mumlng train from Spartan burg to Laurens and from Lauren* on to Oreenwood. t'nder the present schedule it re quires one whole day for a person of Laurens to make even the shortest vlKlt to Ora, Lanford Station or Enoree and it require* the same time for a visitor from either of these three | towns to spend the shortest time Inj Laurens. With Oreenwood the con dition Is practically the same. Tbl? condition ought not to prevail. !? makes the passenger service between Ih.tc and the towns of Ora. Lanford, Kuoree ami Woodruff, and between Oreenwood and Coronaca, Waterloo etf practically useles t. There is only one remedy and thai is a new morning train lea1 ing Spar tanburg early enough to make <<r.\ nectious with tbe trafn Loin Green villa and ?);<? irulti to Columbia, and continuing to Greenwood and return Ing t<a Spartan burg 1 ;* f?- In the after noou. This would not only be hlghlj advantageous to Laurens but to ever) town on the C. & W. C. Hail road fron Spartanburg to Qreenmood. This train could be put on at verj ! little more expense ?o the railroad II could be a mixed train and handled In like manner to tho early n.<. nlng train from Greenville, With the Im mense increase in freight traffic thai lias come tfj the C. k w c this extra train would not depend at all upol passenger renelpts for paying expens es, Instead or the many ' extras" that j they are using at present why not thb regular traui? The Charleston and Westum Caro lina people have always done the square thing by the towns ?long Its lines and we hope thai Supt. Anderson will consider n( once the great need of this new train. ? ? ? j GOVIHNOIi-ELI.ri. A Columbia newspaper writer, on the nigbi of the day the general elec tion was hold, declared "it Is now Governor Cole L. Blease." While,the nomination of the governor or any other officer in the st te domucrntic I primnry is equivalent to elect bin in South Cnrolltiu, in reality they uro merely (lie nominees of the party f>;r the general election which Is required to confirm s icli nomination. As we understand 'he matter, it Is now Oov prnor-oleci Co! ? L. Blease and will tiot bo Governor Bleaso until formally Inauguritti ?I next January, ? ? ? I (IE ( <H{\ ( IX'II SHOW.

I Im Passing of Senator (lay. Greenville New?. Tlx- death Sunday afternoon of Senator Alexander Stephens Clay of QeorglA, marks' the passing of one of tLe most sturdy figures in Ameri 1 can political life?a man who had i served Ihe State, the South and the Nation nearly fourteen years in the Senate of the United Slates and ' whom against naught could be said to blemish his character. Always noted for his unswerving honesty, his economic ecu men, his tireless energy, his loyalty to party and his ' country's needs. I Senator Clay was In no wlsr i n orator, ttor did he every essay to d< al in high phrases of honeyed-coted sentences. In debate he was careful, courteous and kind, but firm in his convictions. His greatest service was in the committees, though he was ever a COtirtant attendant on the Senate sessions and always a careful aud atteniivc listener to the argu ments of his colleagues. Senator Clay was bom on a farm In Cobb county. Georgia, and in hiB youth was a typical backwoodsman. From the time of his graduation from the high schf>ol in Palmetto. Ga.. his ambition was to become a I'nlted States Senator. He passed, successively, from city councilman to the Oeneraly Assembly, where he served as Bpeakor, tin n to the Sflate Senate, where he wps president two years. He was char-man of the State Democratic executive committee three years, declining reelection. He was elected u> the I'nlted States Senate for the first time in 181<?. to succeed Gen. John D. Gordon, for the term beginning In 1897. He was re elected in 1903, and again in 1909. His iat-t term wpOld have expired in March. 1915. Senate, Clay Is the first man in the 121 years 01 Georgia's history as i State outside ol hia colleague, Sena tor Bacon, to be returned to the Senate j for three successive terms. J FARM FACTS. t TJie Dairy Cow. The daiiy cow t'or-s mpre than bring Dm n< lul success to the dairy farmer. She makes him a better citizen than he would otherwise be. Her Influence ipon home conditions is a most pleas ing Contribution to those factors which are responsible for the changed con ditions which prevail in the farm homes of today. Thousands of these homes arc now characterized by com fort and happiness where formerly they were blighted by drudgery and unhappinoss. Better financial conditions have con trlbu ed to this change, and the dairy 1 cow has been In no small measure re- > sponsible. She has contributed in still another way. The dairy cow teaches klndnei:8. Her owner soon learns that only by treating her kindly can he secure the highest possible returns from her, and she responds quickly to kind words and proper care. Her dls [)OSlt!on Is one that the human family might well emulate. She is patient and lour suffering, acquiescing mute ly in the arrangements made by her owner for carrying on the dairy bus iness, striving at all linns to repay him for every < tfort made for her care and comfort. The members of the family, as they coin.- In contact with her and her kindly disposition, are influenced for good, As they appreciate the finan cial benelit to come from caring for h?r well they take a deeper Interest in her. In doing so they unconscious ly cultivate those qualities which make them better citizens. The dairy cow the prototype of man's best friend is wielding a great er Influence than she Is generally credited with. She has always been found In the front ran':'-- l?i the march oi clvlll'/a'ion and no agricultural counti v can long prosper without her. She Is (I potent factor in the upbuild Ing of such a country, financially and socially, and a wlso people win ap preciate her and oiuourage the In dustry of which she is the foundation. Tin.- National Dairy i nlon, Take Cure of the Child's Health. The child with decayed teeth, even with uncle,oi teeth. Is Open to in fection of lungs, tonsils, stomach ears. nose. Kvery time food Is taken, and at every act of swallowing, the food must puss over these germ-In fected bodies Into the stomach, carry ing disease and decay with It. Mouth breathers with teeth In this j condition cannot get one breath of air that Is not contaminated air. for every breath becomes poisoned in passing over these germ and decay. laden teeth. Had teeth ft frequent ly the cause of defective eyesight, headaches, dyspepsia and e:vr trouble. All decay of human teeth starts from the outside, a perfectly clean tooth will not decay unless particles of food remain between the teeth long enough to decompose Decay, therefore, always means unciennees. The child's teeth should be cleans ed at least twice daily, and no family Investment will pay better tban the price of regular, prompt dental care. If the cost of headaches, earaches, sore throats, dyspepsia and a number of other ills directly traceable to bud teeth could be measured against the cost of tooth brushes, bicarbonate of soda, pulverized chalk or tooth jkjw der. and early dental attention. ujKm which side would the balance lie?? Mrs. P. L. Stevens, in Raleigh <X. C.i Frcgre.si*i\Mariner and Gaxette. KeejdiiK Turnip* and Onion-. Turnips may be stored about the *ame as sweet lotatoes. The tops should be cut off. When they are covered with sind they will rarely ever wither, but if they get very warm will start to grow and become pithy, rendering them undesirable for table use. '1 r.is crop may be kept linked up'* out of doors If there is not room in the cellar. To tio this successfully, pile them ujk.ii some dry substance like straw and then cov er with corn stalks and straw, put on a light covering of earth. As the season gets colder more dirt may be added to keej> out the frost. In storing onions, after having ke|u them through the fall in * cool, dry place. I like to put them in barrels or small boxes in the cellar where they will not freeze. It is true that an onion may be kei>t frozen, if not disturbed, but rej?eaied freezing and thawings, such as our changeable wea ther is sure to cause, will ij?oii them. Onions keej> best when kej?t dry and at a uniform temperature of very low degrees.?A. M. I-atham. In Raleigh (N. C.? Progressive Farmer and t)a zette. R??\\ |u Plant the Shade Tree*.

Another place for a tre ? is near a corner of the yard, not directly in lin^ with another tree at the o|?|>o iite c orner, but so that the two form a frame to the house. If it is possible to plant several trees, good u.ste in planting decrees that they should not be in straight rows. Every effort should be made in arranging the home yard to observe the' type followed by nature in woodland planting. There. is a delightful boms of irregularity and happen-so in the woodland type. If my suggestions of the early spring upon the iinprov<*ment of the farm home have been followed, fine types of woodland trees in the neighborhood have already been selected and a lit-' tie later may be transferred to the new sunrounding8, if that has not been done there Is ttill time to mak<? selections, always bearing in mind that the most substantial and hardiest trees are best.
