J I Sidney Cohen, Sacrifice to the Public * Welfare. | q Sidney Cohen, whose young life was swept out on a torrent of passion, in which he had no share, died at his * post of duty. He was the vicarious sac- ? rifice of the public which he faithfully served as a reporter for the press. The lamentable tragedy of his c death is enhanced by its mere waste- J fulness. Defenseless and unoffending, he was stricken down in a conflict from which he stood wholly apart. A finely equipped, admirably bal- * anced and right thinking man, of high ^ character and attainment, he had already made a record in his profession 1 and effort beyond it. For the past 13 * months he had been on the staff of * The Evening Post and had made ?,?: '' enviable place for himself in the corm muni'ty to which he was native and ' whose interests were dear to him. An ? intelligent and discriminating observer ^ and a faithful and accurate reporter, J he had a fine gift of expression that ^ gave to even his routine work a distinction above the average of newspaper writing. He was, too, a stu- J: dent of original purpose, and had done some useful research and historical 11 work. Only within the past month a ^ monograph he had written on ante- 1 helium publications was published by v the University of South Carolina, his ^ alma mater. In his swift and tragic death a most promising career has ? been cut short. r Quiet and reserved, he was yet on*. v of the most charming of companions, s Considerate, unobtrusive, self-respect- t ing and idealistic, having a fine sense c of proportion and an appreciative and S expressive humor, he was held in es- c teem and friendship in a wide circle f and in deep affection by his intimates, a In the office of The Evening Post he had a high place and his colleagues i here mourn him deeply and will ever n cherish the memory of his bright fc company.?Charleston Evening Post. t THE JOURNEY.

Clenison College, Oct. 18.?There ire now only four States in the union hat have not enacted laws providing "or State aid for good roads work. One >f these States is South Carolina, the >thers being Indiana, Mississippi and Texas. These three other States, howiver, are above South Carolina in ex* i i- T?i?> ? ;cuuii.uit;? iui ruuu wurtv. xnueeu, acording to information which has >een received at Clemson College from he United States department of agriulture, this State cannot boast of its ecord in road work and is considera?ly behind most of the other States of he union in this respect. In 1914, South Carolina spent 11,000,000 on road work, this money oming from local funds of counties, ownships and districts. There were 10 expenditures by the State and local inits jointly, or by the State a'one. n the same period, Indiana spent ! 13,253,701 and Iowa spent $11,303, 00. Nor does South Carolina com?are well with even the other Southirn States. As against this State's 11,000,000, North Carolina spent $3,i.30,000, Georgia, $'2,500,000; Alatama, $2,795,000; Mississippi, $2,850, 00; Tennessee, $2,500,000; Texas, $8,'50,000. In fact, the only States on he list which are not above South Carolina in road expenditures are the indeveloped States of Arizona, Neada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyorrfng, and the diminutive commonwealths of Delaware, Rhode Island and Vermont. The total of all surfaced roads in South Carolina is 4,888 miles. In this espect, the State compares favorably vith many, since its percentage of urfaced roads is 17.3, making it the hirteenth State in the union in perentage of surfaced roads. Three >tates, unio, nunana ana ixew rorx, ontain nearly one-third of all the suraced roads in the United States, with l mileage of $77,544. New York has spent $82,638,729 on ts roads and is spending $15,000,000 nore on them in 1915. This, it should ?e understood, is the amount spent by he State government and does not inlude the huge expenditures by iocal inits. YOU'RE BILIOUS!

C., Oct. 15.?Tht unusual storms of August and th< very rapid multiplication of the bol weevil in Texas have resulted in b tremendous movement into northwest ern Texas and Oklahoma. This movement is probably not yet completed nor has it been entirely mapped out The indications are that over hall of the State of Oklahoma is now (Oct 11) infested. Information has just been received that the boll weevil is at Vernon in Wilbarger county, Texas and at Cache in Comanche county and Minco in the extreme northern part ol Grady county, Oklahoma. Unless immediate measures are taken by the planters throughout Oklahoma am, northwestern Texas it can be expected that the boll weevil will do some damage next year. The Bureau of Entomology advises that the planters throughout Oklahoma and the supposedly infested sections of Texas begin immediately to pick their cotton and destroy the plants. By destroying the plants the developing weevils will be killed. Two methods of destruction are available. If the plants can be plowed under to 4 or 5 inches this is the most desirable method of procedure, otherwise they should be stacked in windrows and burned as soon as dry. After destroying the plants preparation should be made for a winter cover crop and for a rotation of crops next yea*-. The weevil has maintained its position in Arkansas and has probably ex tended its area a little farther north in the western portions. The entire State of Mississippi is infested, and the weevil is now known to be in McNairy and Hardin counties, Tenn. Tennessee planters along the entire southern border should take the same precautions that have been recommended to Oklahoma planters. Probably only four or five counties in the mountainous sections of northeastern Alabama will escape infestation by the boll weevil this year. Ovei 30 counties in western Georgia are already known to be infested and there is no doubt but that five more will be recorded soon. Planters in Georgia and Alabama, whether in i'nfestec counties or not, should take immediate measures to elestroy the cotton stalks and prepare the fields for winter cover crops. THE BEST PROOF Given by a Union Citizen. Doan's Kidney Pills were used? they brought benefit. The story was told to Union resi dents. Ti m A V*?1C cfrnncrf lionn/l fKo nerirlnnnn Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is home testimony? The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Union residents. John Petty, 76 W. Main St., Union says: "Weak kidneys caused pains though the small of my back and they were so severe at times that I couldni sleep. My kidneys acted irregularly and the secretions were unnatural and irregular in passage. I used different medicine, but didn't get permanent re.lief until I took Doan's Kidney Pills They also helped another of my family, who was afflicted with kidney trouble." (Statement given February 16, 1908.) OVER SIX YEARS LATER Mr, Petty said: "I haven't noticed the slightest sign of kidney trouble or backache since I used and recommended Doan's Kidney Pills.
