Are you reading the great serial,
The Diamond from the Sky, now
running in this paper in connection
with the film story by the same
name at the Uwana Theatre? This
is one of the most thrilling and intensely
interesting storie3 to be
found in present day fiction. The
photo film play is equally interesting.
STORAGE OF COTTON.
Importance of Protection from
Exposure Is Stressed.
Washington,D C, November 16:?
It is very important,according to the
specialists of the U S Department
of Agriculture, that all cotton that
is not marketed when ginned should
be stored or placed in a position
wharA if. will he Drotected from in
jury by moisture. Where cotton is
exposed to rain it is subject to serious
injury; and where it is sheltered
but left in contact with the wet
ground it is likely to become seriously
damaged. It is frequently the
case that people do not realize the
amount of damage that is done. In
many instances cotton appears from
the outside of the bale to be in fairly
good condition when it is badly injured
inside, due to the fact that
moisture has been allowed to penetrate
the bale, thus causing mildew.
It is not unusual, according to the
department's data.for cotton to suffer
a loss of from $3 to $5 per bale
as a result of unnecessary exposure.
At all times it should be kept off the
ground and properly sheltered.
Where it is impossible to place it in
a warehouse it should be protected
by a dry shed, or it may be placed
on poles or timbers which will keep
it several inches from the ground,
and covered with tarpaulins. Pro
tected in this way, it can be held for
six months or even a year with very
little damage.
In some sections the farmers and
business men have organized companies
for the purpose of constructing
warehouses in order to protect the
cotton. This, the investigators believe,
is a move in the right direction,
and every community should
take this precaution where the warehouses
now available are not ample
for the protection of the cotton
jcrop. They point out, however, that
many of these communities are
-making a serious mistake in constructing
cheap warehouses. It has
-been conclusively shown that there
<is an annual loss of several million
kdatfars in the cost of insurance. This i
loss is brought about primarily by
the construction of cheAp warehouses.
The rate of insurance on
vrthese cheap structures ranges from
2 per cent to 4 per cent ner annum,
while it is possible to inwre cotton
.in the standard warehouse at 4 of 1
*per cent per annum. The cheap
structures last a comparatively few
years and cost almost as much as the
standard warehouse. The saving in
insurance will pay for the difference
in cost of the warehouse in a very
short time. While it is better to
construct inexpensive warehouses
than it is to allow the cotton to be
damaged.it is much better and even
cheaper,in the long run, to construct
standard warehouses.
BOOKER WASHINGTON DEAD.
Negro Educator Passes Away at,
Tuskegee.
Tuskeegee, Ala, November 14:?j
Booker T Washington, negro educator,
lecturer, author and recognized
leader of hi3 race in America, died
at his home here early today four
hours after his arrival rrom i\ew
York.
Washington had not been in good
health for several months and suffered
a nervous breakdown in New
; York last week. He had gone there
I to attend the annual meeting of the
I Amerean Missionary association and
jthe National Conference of Congregational
churches.
He did not respond to treatment
at a hospital in New York and decided
to come back home. He had
often said that his work had been
among Southern negroes, that he
was a Southern negro and that it
was his wish to live, die and be buried
in the South. He left New York
Friday afternoon. The trip seemed
to sap his remaining energy, and he
died Quickly soon after his removal
to his home.
By his writings, lectures and activities
in building up Tuskeegee Institute
Dr Washington for the past
twenty-five years had commanded
the attention and confidence of leading
men in many walks of life South
and North. It has been said that
his ideas of bettering the negro ^ace
more nearly fit sentiment expressed
in different parts of the country
than those of any other man interested
in such work.

Thanksgiving and the Orphan.
President Wilson has appointed

to remember the orphans. We
hope that every reader of these lines
will gladly do so. You have a wonderful
amount to be grateful for.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a
constipated condition.
Bloat, with its attendant mental
depression, sick-headache, the belching
of sour stomach gases, etc, are
frequently due to inaction of the
bowels. Relieve the congestion and
the trouble usually disappears. The
use of cathartics and purgatives
should be avoided, however; these
shock the system unnecessarily and, |
! at best, their effect is but tempoj
rary. A mild laxative is far preferj
able.
I The compound of simple laxative
1 herbs known as Dr Caldwell's Syrup
| Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
i fifty cents a bottle, is highly recommended.
Mr Benj Bassin, 260 Madiison
St, Gary, Ind, thinks Dr Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin a wonderful
medicine; for four years he had a
severe case of indigestion and constipation
before trying Dr Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, which he is glad to

the leading stores of the town. All
persons interested in the movement
for stamping out tuberculosis in our

to assist in this work by purchasing
Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Other places in Williamsbuigcoun- j

Fut your gratitude to tne prooi.
Send to the orphanage of your
church, your thank-offering. Presbyterian
people in the States of South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida will
remember that they are united in
supporting the Thornwell orphanage,
Clinton,S C,which is the property of
those three synods. The children are
all orphans, some three hundred in
number. There are 17 cottage
homes, each occupied by some 15 to
25 children, with a good, motherly
woman in charge. The children are
regularly in school for forty weeks
each year,and are taught some trade
or occupation by which they can
earn an honest living. Usually they
leave the home at the age of 16 to
18, unless an earlier discharge is
found advisable. Their support depends
upon.gifts of good men and
women. Especially at Thanksgiving
times they ought to be remembered.
There are 180 children from South
Carolina, 70 from Georgia and 28
from Florida. The rest came from
seven other States.
Contributions should be sent simply
to Thornwell orphanage, Clinton,
S C. Checks and postoffice orders
should be sent to the same address.
