Cathcart Sorehead And Limberneck Sorehead has made its appearance on a good many farms in the county, and number of fowls have died from this disease. Mold in some form to which the chickens have access is responsible for this disease. MoldJ Grain and particularly moldy corn.! moldy meions, mold in the weeds, or J mnlriv litter and scratching mate-1 rial arc predisposing causes of a j sorehead epidemic. To overcome this j disease try at once to locate and re- j move the source of infection. Then; send sixty cents to the Westmoreland Chemical and Color Co.. Phi'adelphia. for a bottle of For-Sul, the best and cheapest remedy. Add one teaspoenfu! to a quart of water and mmerse the head of each chicken ^ in the solution for fifteen seconds. This enables the remedy to act on the air passages in the head and clehr them of mueeus. Two ducking:;! daily for two days will cure practically all cases. -Exterior appiications . of salves, grease or liquids are useless. i he only other solution recommended is a teaspoonful of creolin in , a quart of water. Immerse the heads as previously advised. If chickens j are kept away from mold they will i not have sorehead As is generally known, limbemeck is caused by eating decomposed flesh. The magets found in this putrid flesh are harmful to poultry. First, remove and bury any dead animal or bird. Buy a little asafedi- j ta.

BOAT LINE WOl'L PAY PROFI1 Says Service to Georgetown is Now Feasible?Wilt Lower Rates J. T. Slater, secretary of the. Columbia Chamber of Commerce, is 01 the opinion that now is the psychological moment to make arrange rrents for a boat line from Columbia to Georgetown. The United States railroad administration has recentlj issued instructions for the prepara tion of tariffs which areto provide for a line of export rates to Charleston and Georgetown, among othei coast cities, and Mr. Slatter said thai this action on the part of the railroad administration means much tc hi State. These ports will now bi to compete on a fair basis witli the port of New York and othei eas:.:n ports which heretofore have had a decided advantage in rail freight rates from the West. Secretary Slatter in discussing the boat 'inn cowl lav oaivi "Xow is the time to think of starting up a boat line from Columbia tc Georgetown. To move the big crops which are now maturing will strain the present car equipment and will likely cause a car shortage. A boat service would greatly relieve this car shortage so far as Columbia is concerned and would give Columbia an advantage that other inland cities do not enjoy. "I am firmly of the opinion that if the boat line is organized, it will get the business. The old difficulty about terminals at Columbia will not bob up' again as it has been settled and the only thing needed now is the boat line. "The line would reduce very materially the freight rates from the east, and such reduction in freight rates would of 4>urse be reflected in the price consumers have to pay for articles of various kinds." In further discussing the granting of equal freight rates from western points and the establishment of steamship lines to South X m<,rir>nn nnrts. Secretary Slatter said that such lines will give the State the benefit of a port from which anything raised may be exported. He believes that it will result in reestablishing to a large extent the coastwise trade between Georgetown and Charleston and eastern cities, and that it will give Columbia all water rates to and from these points. All water freight rates, or part water and part rail rates are lower than al! rail rates. Mr. Slatter pointed out, and he said that the fact that the export rates will apply from Georgetown will no doubt attract ships engaging in foreign trade to Georgetown, and that the interior will be benefited and trade will be generally stimulated. The instructions issued by the railroad administration means that shippers located in the great industrial an J agricultural Middle West can ship to South American ports, through South Atlantic ports, as cheaply as it can ship through New York. Matthew Hale, president of the South Atlantic Maritime Corporation, is quoted as saying, "We have many natural advantages over New i oric 2nd zziere u> uu reoduu u ??c keep on working harmoniously ' together for our common ends why we shouid not divert to Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah. Brunswick and Jacksonville on immense volume of exports and imports. 'The Middle West has assured us through the Chicago Association of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce in other cities that they are eager to get more gateway out to South and Latin-America. They are tired of having their goods periodically caught in the iam at New York. Thev are tired of New York!

"The firht is not all over, by any , means, but the main obstacle?the t discrimination in freight rates hith erto existing?has been removed. 1 These are going Jo be great days. in my judgment, for the New South." j ' Now Is The Time to Build v | . Building has been almost at a j t stand-still since the beginning of the 5 European War. This was brought about because of the high price of 1 lumber, scarcity of labor and the ' high price of various things that en; tered into the construction of buildings. The time has now come to get busy on the building proposition again, the sooner the better. Theie is no use to wait for low prices be cause it is doubtful if we will ever f get back to the price levels that ex isted before the war. Other things are going to stay i comparatively high as long is farm > produce remains high and certainly a'l of us want to get all we can for what is produced on our farms. So i let's forget about this proposition of waiting for lumber to go down to " build. It has been estimated that the j t next ten years will see practically I all of the pine lumber in the South, j > j cut out and I should not be at a!' ', surprised to see lumber gb up ii:i stead of down. Therefore go ahead: " v.t'i ;h" building as needed It is a j '; good business policy to do this.?

Cooper has I i: pledged his active support to the 11 South Carolina Baptist in their drive i; to raise five and a half million dol[: lars, November 30 to December 7, Jas their share in the Baptist 75 :, million campaign. Governor Cooper i J has promised his co-operation and : services toward the success of the . drive and will deliver addresses in behalf of the campaign during October and November. "It will give me pleasure to contribute in any way I can to the success of the Baptist 75 -million campaign." Governor Cooper [ wrote in a recent letter to Dr. W.J! ; | McGlothlin, State organizer for the. campaign. i Owing to his limited time. Governor Cooper will be able to deliver only about half a dozen addresses in - behalf of the campaign. Places and j dates will be announced later. InasImuch as Qovernor Cooper is likely to be sought after for these services i at many places, the matter of his j itinerary has been left with the I headquarters of the campaign in ! Greenville. Tlio mnnUi' nf SU?ntpm her is to be "Intercession Month" for the Baptists of the state, and Wednesday, September 24, has been set aside as u day of prayer and fasting for success in the Baptist 75 million campaign. Announcement to this effect was made Wednesday August 20 at state headquarters in Greenville. It is expected, according to information coming from all parts of i the state, that the month and spec; ial day of prayer will be faithfully j observed by members of the denomi ination over the entire state. o Iiub-My-Tism is a great pain killer.
