The annual report of the South Carolina
railroad commission, submitted
last week to the Legislature says:
Seventy-nine persons were killed and
589 were injured in accidents connected
with the railroads of the state, durig
1920. Of the persons killed 4 were
passengers on trains, 17 were railway
employees and 58 were trespassers or
persons crossing railroad tracks at
the time trains approached. Of the
injured 129 were passengers, and 460
were persons using the crossings.
The greater number of the accidents
and deaths, the report says, were due
to collisions of automobiles with
trains. The commission urges the
public and the railroads to exercise
more care at crossings. This admonition
might well apply to citizens of
Kingstree and community.

Teach Kindness to Animals
One of the most important things
to teach children is to take good care
of their household pets; to remember
to feed them and to give them water
to drink at regular times if possible
We are only doing right if we treat
every living creature as we would
wish to be treated ourselves. If you
drive a horse, think how you would
like to be treated if you were
that horse. Treat your dog and cat
as you would like to be treated if you
could change places with them.
Kindness on the farm?gentle
treatment of cows; good bedding, good
food and a stall large enough to lie
down in, for the horse; shelter for the

yet conceived or suggested.

the most disagreeable

hear or read we have passed through
or out of them, or nearly so,, and are
rapidly returning to more normal conditions.

Respect for law is growing. Criminals
are being isolated. Officers of the

bound to follow the cessation of hos
tilities.
"Prices of many commodities, especially
those charged by middlemen
have been too high. They have been
unreasonable and in many cases are
still extortionate.
"While this process has been going
on of course the general public has
been withstanding its custom. It has
been waiting for more reasonable selling
prices of commodities. Until this
readjustment is completed and a fair
basis of selling prices established so
that the cost of living can rest at a
point which is fair it may not expect
as large a volume of business as we
might desire. The scooner everyone
realizes this fact the better for al
concerned.
"Those who take advantage of the
situation and insist on high prices art
doing everything they can to retarc
the processes of readjustment.
"One who gives a little but no1
much thought to the general situation
is surprised that during the last
few months there have been no serious
failures, no real disasters, nothing
approching panic or general demoralization.
But one who makes
, careful study of the situation realizes
that the reason we have only less
business, and not ?anic or demoral,
ization is because of the vast wealth
and wonderful resources of this country
and the spirit of the people of
I perhaps the greatest country in the

"The steel corporation is doing a

larger than was total capacity of the
mills when the corporation was organized.
And there is some and perhaps
considerable profit resulting.
"There is plenty of money in th<=
United States, although we have
loaned more than $10,000,000,00 tc
foreign countries and although
have burned and destroyed during
the war perhaps $20,000,000,000.
"Those who have money are willing
and anxious to expend it for extensions
ax^d improvements and to invest
it in new enterprises just so soor
as selling prices are cons'dered to b?

? Spraying Increases Yield. H?11
I To my knowledge, spraying is |i|
one of the best things that ever H
; came around for the fruit grower. ? r
My experienc hea indm scbneVBGKQ PH
I My experience has been with apple BH
trees. In my orchard there are about
t 40 trees, some of which begin ripen- j|H
- ing in May, and others from that date ||H
t until the last of November. I knew n|||
nothing of spraying until a few years IH
ago when the county demonstration BB
agent began to talk to me about it. Ill
i At his advise, I bought a spraying j|K
; outfit. Briefly, my crop of apples be;
fore had been .decreasing from year P
to year. The apples were of a very P i;
i poor quality. Every one had a rough B *
place on it. Some were larger on |j B
one side than on the other, while the g B
majority had worm holes of one kind g U
or another fti them.
I sprayed the trees, one time, the B gj
blossoms one time, and the small ap- j
pies one time. Immediately after the
last spraying, the apples began to look B *
very different from the crop of the BBE
preceding year. By the time that BH
most 01 mem were run grown, uicie
i was not a faulty apple- on the tree. I
They were of the same size, and every H
one was an apple. Either the quali'. R
' of the apples or the increase in the
* yield was more than enough to pay ggg
for the spraying outfit. The increas?
in yields over the preceding year was
45 per cent, and the quality of apples 1
' was at least the same per cent, better
! This gave me an increase of 90 per
> cent for one year.
Much to my regret, I was unable to
' spray my orchard last year, excepting
the first time. The apples were nof
as good as the years that the treehad
been sprayed; however, I could
still see the effects of the spraying
1 the preceding years.
! From these results, I know for a
I fact that the wcrk that I have done
in my orchard has been of a great
' value to it As long as I am in the t
fmn'f hiisinoss. I am eoine to continue
spraying, for I know the results will P
follow.?J. F. C., in The Progressive '

Dillon Boy Knows How to Save.
Mr. W. E. Hall, of the Dillon Hardware
Company, had an interesting experience
the other day when he sold
a youngster a bicycle and in making
I payment the lad brought forth a heavy
bag from which he produced 680 I
buffalo nickles or a total of $34.00.
Mr. Hall's curiosity was aroused and
? his questions unfolded the following
1 story of thrift and self-denial to grat- ,
5 ify an ambition which probably is
-without a paralell in the state: The 1
purchaser of the bicycle was young
t Leonard Hayes, son of R. R. Hayes.
from the lower part of the county.
1 The boy is only fourteen years old.
> Years ago he had an ambition to own
1 a bicycle, but to a boy of his means
? the cost was prohibitive. He was a
lad of determination however, and
' made up his mind to save his
nickles until the amount was large
^ enough to buy the bicycle. In the i
r year 1914 he began to lay up his ,
savings. When a piece of money
I came into his possesion he converted
; it into nickles which he placed care- !
- PhIItt in Viio mnnpv hacr Reform lone
' the nickles b^an to accumulate and
; he had visit > of the bicycle that he
1 would some day own. The glad daycame
just after Christmas and he
? took out his money bag, carried his !
' nickles to the hardware store, count1
ed out the money and handed it over
' to Mr. Hall for the bicycle. There
* was no happier boy in the world than
i Leonard when he mounted the shining
bicycle and rode off towards hi$
1 home. There is in the story a lessen
; of self-denial which many people
1 would do well to learn.?The Dillon
