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.!

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

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! With a
fair chance of their business, made
possible by the forthcoming reduc/

tion in freight rates, we can make
' the five ports boom.
"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.? J
11 The Progressive Farmer
o
; Governor Cooper Pledges Support I
Governor Robert A. 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.
