It is said that the Governor of Georgia is flooded with offers of service to the State in the case of war. But out of the large number of patriots willing to fight for their country there is only one private. The others all want commissions from licnfcnnni In hriir. adier-general. STATES GOING DRY The expression "bone dry" as applied to prohibition is becoming quite common in the discussion of that subject. Somehow it seems to suggest an old nursery rhyme: "Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard To get her poor doggie a bone. When she got there, the cupboard was bare. And so the poor doggie had none." Twenty-five States now have State prohibition and Utah and Florida will probably soon make the twentyseventh. With Congress working on the subject it does look very much like bone dry United States. And then mayhap, Old Mother Ilubbard, if she is the wife of a red-nosed rummie, may be able to replenish that lonf emptied cupboard. OUR BIG DEBATING SOCIETY. It is a remarkable condition of national legislation that many hours are wasted in Congress upon the discussion of points of order. This was the case notably February 16. Although I the time of the short session of Coni gress was rapidly passing away, with .. 1 .1 1 1-1* 1 <i ia? |;u aiuuuiil in llUt'UUU to be enacted, hour after hour was spent upon the technical matter of a point of order. Even in the solemn old Senate, supposed to be the fountain-head of wisdom, hours were spent in this way. When a Senator disagreed with the decision of the chair but said he would not make the point of order, Vice-President Mar shall said very promptly, "I would b< glad if the Senator would do so." The other House of Congress i guilty of the same fault and on som occasions acts like a school boys' de bating society, arguing apparently fo the sake of arguing and always agree ing to disagree. When the Hon. W. F. Stevenso shall take his place in this body w : believe he will set an example for th 1 members of the lower house. He wiJ i discuss matters of importance to th | Nation and to South Carolina and b silent as to the matter of tweedledun and tweed ledee. SOME GOOD WORK In a recent discussion of Congres upon the subject of agricultural ap pripriations Senator Smith of Soutl Carolina, got in some good work. H defended the free seed distribution He said "There are thousands am thousands of small families who rc ceive these seed from the governmen and they are a real benefit." He ex plained that there were people witl lew opportunities who were greatl; nelped by the department selectini and sending them packages of gardei seed. Senator Smith also introduced a: amendment appropriating money t develope a method for making can syrup that would not ferment or crys talize. It was shown that when svru that is made in large quantities ii the South is shipped it sours and turn to sugar, thus spoiling the sale am causing loss to the syrup makers. Senator Smith deserves the thank of farmers for the interest he take in their welfare. THE CANTALOUPE. The importance of the cantaloup as a truck crop is not generally ree ognized. It is one of the importan crops grown, both commercially am for home use, the reason for its pop ularity being the ease with which it i handled, the ease of production am the demand for the fruit itself botl in the home and at distant markets. While cantaloupes will grow 01 nearly all types of soil, a well-drain ed, sandy or sandy-loamy soil witl a clay subsoil is ideal. Earliness is i fundamental essential to success, an< to get an early crop the soil must b< quick, warm and fertile. The soils generally used for com mercial production of cantaloupes ar not as a rule of sufficient rich ness to produce large crops of frui without the addition of some form o manure and commercial fertilizer for the sourse of humus and plan food. The cantaloupe requires ai abundance of vegetable matter am plant food. The vines do best onl; when they have a steady and continu ous growth. In no way must thi growth be checked or the plant allow ed to become stunted. The market demands and will paj good prices for fruit of good quality It pays the grower to have his land ir good condition, to use good fertilizer! liberally, to use seed which will pro duce an even, healthy, vigorous, proline and early maturing fruit of medium size and roundish form, netting well developed and completely covering the melon, the rihd thin, with the flesh thick and juicy andiof firm tex By Wilbur Nesbit.

Mrs. Wooten's statement follows: "I suffered from a completephysical breakdown and the after affects of a long drawn out spell of malaria.

I could not sit up long at a time, and I had absolutely lost all interest in everything. r "I had been in very bad health for 0 two or more years and I sure was a n sick person, too.

The Tanlac gave me a good appetite almost from the start and soon I began to improve right along in health and strength, and now I am able to do my housework and my ironing and I am strong and hearty. I give Tanlac all the credit for getme out of bed and on my feet again, and no one can fully understand how much Tanlac did for me unless they had seen me before I took it, and I had been almost an invalid for two years before I took Tanlac and then I only had to take six bottles to get my strength back.

They asked the waitress the price of everything she brought in. Some tobasco sauce, she informed them, was free. Mike took a large spoonful, bringing tears to his eyes. "What are you crying for?" says Pat. "Oh," says Mike, "it's just twelve months to-day since they hung me poor ould father." Shortly afterward Pat took a spoonful of tobacco, which produced the same effect as on Mike. "And what are you crying for, Pat?" asked Mike. "Oh," replied Pat, "I'm crying because they didn't hang you along wid your father."

From a last year's Laurinburg Exchange : The cantaloupe season is now at its height and Laurinburg and Scotland county are fully appreciative of the good results which the season brings. Monday was perhaps a record breaker as far as volume of shipments is concerned. We have J been unable to get accurate figures, 4 but conservative estimates place tho number of cars loaded during the day and up to 12 o'clock at night at about 150 or more. At $300 a car this would represent a total income of $45,000 for the day. LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS Telia how to loosen a tender corn or callus so it lifts out without pain. A You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awlul ? death from locwjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authorityto use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callus the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts off with the fingers. 1 Freezone dries the moment is is applied, and simply shrivels the corn or callus without inflaming or even irri- | tating the surrounding tissue or skin. J A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of every hard or soft com or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get it at any wholesale drug house for you. 2-Adv, Js Folks together 5 my home?it is so I cheery and whole^st, healthiest tobacco IGN?King of Them a| le name is Smoke, the South my loyal because '* ;V>' " loodl accol fc/<rv OOA T V%r^ti?A IIA OCC 1IUW A 11IOAC .V ?Buy me: and get n is known you mine; > Mm rethg] SQVTH^ 1
