WASHINGTON COMMENT.
Why should all the great seats of
learning in the United States be built
upon a foundation of private capital,
or conducted as cooperative or ai
money making institutions? Why
should not this nation found, conduct,
and maintain forever a university to
give its youth the opportunity which
questions of finance prevent many
from taking in great private universities
?
John H. Cowles, Sovereign Grand
Commander of the Ancient and Ac
cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
for the Southern Jurisdiction, thinks
we should have such a national seat
of learning, as well as a Department
of Education in the government, anc
laws requiring the compulsory attendance
of cshool children through the
eighth grade. Nor is he alone in such
thinking; of the millions who are earnestly
advocating the immediate passage
of the Towner-Sterling bill
which will create a Department of Education,
with a secretary in the president's
cabinet, a very large number
agree with Captain Cowles in his
statement before the One Hundred
and Tenth Supreme Council meeting
of the Northern Jurisdiction, in Cleveland.
A National University would offer
to students who could pass a certain
examination, or who should show certain
educational credits, an opportunity
to gain that larger outlook,
wider knowledge, and greater vision
which is the chief end of higher education,
at a not prohibitive expense.
It would be a training school for our
civil youth commensurate in standards
to our West Point and Annapolis.
It would send forth a constant stream
of young people, trained in citizen>
ship and Americanism, apostles of
> education, desciples of the true patriotism,
a leaven for industrial and
social unrest, a counter irritant for
Bolshevism and anarchism.
The country's universities do well;
why confine such well doing to tho6e
able to afford them?
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends."
So said John, and ever since man
has glorified the hero who sacrificed
his own life for another. History is
full of examples, and peace as well
as war shows many heroes. Sometimes
the hero is not even a man, oz
a human being, but a humble animal;
a dog, perhaps, whose love of his
master is greater than his love oi
. life.
A dog, so say the scientists, has
only instinct. A dog, say the wise
men, does not think or reason; he
does but react to his environment
Doubtless they know, but if a dog
does not think or reason, what holds
a dog to his master's side in the face
of certain and painful death?
Trapped in the plant of the Long
Island Waste Company, John Bracken,
watchman, died from fire and smoke.
By his side died his bull pup. When
they were found, after the smoke and
flame had stilled the dog's barks for
help, he was not at the barred door,
or at the blocked window; he was
found with his head upon his dead
master. To make this true story the
better one, let it be chronicled that
John Derrick, friend, was so severely
burned in a futile effort to rescue man
ami dog that he, too, may die.
? Probably dogs do not reason or
think; the scientists are usually right.
Probably John Derrick didn't think
of anything but his love for his friends
when he fought fire for their lives.
Would that more of us could learn
the lesson of brotherhood as these
have learned it, man and dog. Perhaps
the little hero pup did not die
in vain, if his selfless heroism brings
home to us who read the lesson which
John read to us so many years ago.
What Miss McMurray is Doing.
The following facts should be of
great interest to the people of Wil
liamsburg county. They have been
gathered from the reports of youi
home demonstration agent for the
last quarter and show that her time
has been well spent.
The girls and women from thia
county enjoyed to the fullest the
splendid opportunities given them at
the state short course at Winthrop
College and all came home with a
determination to help in any way possible
to carry on the work in their
county.
The market work in the county has
been good each week, 40 hens have
been shipped to Charleston and this
alone has brought into the county
more money than has been appropriated
to carry on the work. The club
market has also given satisfaction
during the summer and met the need
of the rural women by giving them
a place to sell their surplus products.
The members from the county in the
Home Producers Association, are busy
getting their products ready for market
and have certainly put up a good
supply.
The county short course for club
girls was held at Greelvville and
well attended by both girls and women
and a very comprehensive course of
study was given and the chidren were
; very much interested. All left with
, a hope to be able to come again next
t year.
The community meetings have beer
, good. There is hardly a day passed
i the agent doesn't get calls and leti
ters asking for help or directions fot
' canning. She has ordered over 2,00C
cans besides those ordered for the
members of the Home Producers AsI
sociation.
The agent has spent 75 days in the
i-u 1 c it. _ J 001 ?ollc
' neiu, i o in me unite, auu 1.1.x
; for information, written 286 letters
; paid 264 visits in the interest of the

Cotton Growers' Association.
Columbia, Oct. 2.?The South Carolina
Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association
has paid out in advances to
its members over $1,500,000. Cotton
J is pouring into concentration points,
warehouses and receiving stations
daily in large lots and the great organization
which farmers of the state
have set in motion for the purpose
of marketing their crop is functioning
in a splendid manner.
To give an idea of how the cotton
is pouring in it may be stated that
' on last Thursday there were over two
hundred carloads of cotton consigned
to the association on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad alone for the
concentration warehouse at Columbia.
This of course did not include cotton
consigned to the association's
concentration warehouses at Spartanburg
and Greenville on the railroad
nor did it include any of the cotton
consigned to any of the three concentration
points by the other railroads
of the state. It did not include any
of the cotton received at the association's
local warehouses over the state.
So far as association officials have
been able to ascertain the members
of the organization are standing most
loyally by it. There have been no
reported violations of the contract as
yet Should there be any they will
- i i
be dealt witn most vigorously ana uie
1 full penalty of the law applied,
i Much old cotton is being turned
over to the association. It is esti
mated that almost half of the cotton
' turned over to the association to date
is old cotton. Hundreds of members
i have delivered it to the association
! and hundreds more have signified
their intention of doing so.

Insect in Marlboro Slays Boll Weevil.
A bug that kills the boll weevil has
been found. He has been found in
Marlboro county and caught in the
, act. He was found by Mrs. Floyd
Prevatt near Lester last Saturday on
a quilt in her yard, with his bill thrust
. into a boll weevil and holding the
impaled weevil up in the air, sucking
, the life out of it.
Mr. Prevatt put the bug into a bottle
with several weevils and the
bug immediately attacked them by
sticking his bill into their backs and
sucking them to death'. Several weevils
were killed in a few hours.
This weevil killer is about a half
inch long and a quarter inch or more
wide. He is blade with a small yellow
spot in the middle of his back,
and yellow fringe on his wings. He
has a long bill, tucked back under
his throat when not in use. When
in action this bill is thrust into the
weevil, as the weevil punctures a cotton
square.?Pee Dee Advocate,

THAT KNIFE-LIKE PAIN
Is Only One of Nature's Warning of
Weak or Disordered Kidneys.
Have you a lame back, aching day
and night? Do you feel sharp pains
after stooping? Are the kidneys
sore? Is their action irregular?
Use Doan's Kidney Pills?the medicine
recommended by so many Kingstree
people. Ask your neighbor!
Miss Ella Burney, Thorn Avenue,
Kingstree, says: "Three years ago
I was bothered with my back and
kidneys. Mornings I got up feeling
tired and my back ached severely.
A heavy, bearing down feeling across
my kidneys annoyed me and when I
did any stooping, sharp twinges shot
through the small of my back. My
kidneys acted too frequently and
causeu mucn <ujiu)amc. x uscu
Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought
relief."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
