HEARN Editor and Publisher. 0 ? I CONGRESSMAN LEVER'S GREAT WORK The work of the Department of c Agriculture for the past five years n was the subject of a preat and il- v luminating speech by Hon. Asbury F. s Lever in Congress. As chairman of r the Agricultural Committee,s-n.. ,ET f Lever was able to present in a very 1 interesting ana convincing mannei the immense amount of work done for the farmers of the country. No better evidence of the importance of Mr. Lever's activities as chairman of the groat agricultural committee is f needed than the virtual request of | President Wilson that Mr. Lever re- c frain from entering the Senatorial 1 race in order that he might continue to do the work that he was so sue- f cessfully accomplishing at the head 1 of his important committee. 1 "BURGLARS IN THE HOUSE OF ' GOD" ( Irving Bacheller, the author of the j popular book, "Keeping up With Liz ^ zie," has written a work in which he deals with the German nation and < the Kaiser. The trend and tone of the book may be seen from this ex- s pression as to the German people v "They have handed their consciences ^ over into what they regard as the f safe keeping of the Kaiser, the re- s suit being that they are burglars in this great house of God that we in- ( habit, seeking to rob it of its best t. possessions." v It follwws that the average Ger- c man soldier has become utterly <le- t. praved. the treatment of helpless women and children of Belgium and France beinp: proof positive of this assertion. C .Mr. Bacheller makes this discouratfitivr statement that "the taint of Teutonic moral degradation is beinn ra- li pidly spread." This condition fur- ( nishes one more reason why the Al- 1 lies should Continue to lijrht, as 1'resi- f dent Wilson puts it, "not for peace t but for victory." Peace will come all t ri^rht when the Kaiser is on his knees I anil his armies destroyed. s When we note the destruction of t churches and cathedrals that have ,-i been the objects of veneration for hundreds of years, the author mi^ht y have added "incendiaries" as well as i burglars. The priceless treasures of ii the past were destroyed by these van- ] dais with as little consideration as v would be tfiven to the destruction of f a barn or stable. i These soldiers of the Kaiser merit f the name of vandal, the definition of 1 which Webster tfives as "one who wil- (| fully destroys or wantonly mars anythintf beautiful." r in me iourin anu nun centuries i the Germans were called vandals and ; the modern Clermans seem to be true \ types of their forbears. < The State says "Trotsky can run ( away from everything except trouble." Yes, he trots right into trouble. When Great Britain joined in the ' celebration of the Fourth of July as ( in this year does it not look as if the millennium were due? 5 That was a gracious an(j generous 11 act of Theodore Roosevelt in turning' ' over the Nobel Peace Prize to the Red ' Cross and other war activities.

BEN TILLMAN'S HUMOR | Berry Benson writes to the Augus- ' ta Chronicle this anecdote of South ' Carolina's great Senator: , 1 Among the prominent characteristics of Mr. Ben. Tillman's many-sided 1 xiuiurc? was mai 01 numor. ftspuciaily he enjoyed a good darky story. The last time I saw Mr. Tillman was at Trenton. With much glee he told ' this story: J J "An old negro woman took sick, and on advice from her friends she r n sent for the colored doctor. He came a number of times, but she did not !l improve. Whereupon, she discharged s him and sent for a white dor tor. On v arriving he asked : ^ " 'Who* have you b en taking? 11 " 'I don't know, suh; [ got sick an' n I sont for dat good for nut'n niggah a doctor; he gitn'me some medicine, 1 ^ don't know what it was, but it didn't do me no good; so I sont for you.'

After rescuing the crew the ^ Dmmander of the patrol boat in- f uired of the U-boat commander if II were safely aboard, as it was in- f L'nded to blow up the submarine. "Yes," came the reply, 'they are II here. Call the roll." The roll was duly called, and every j lerman answered.

The Gernans were going to allow them to be lurled into eternity, after their own ives had been saved.

A BANK GIBRALTAR, OF YOUR HOME i to Your Wife, hildren KS' BANK / WBfyzA| ^ ~ r o V R -? )NLY THE DEAD FLIES ARE GOOD FLIES Every fly that this year eontaininites and destroys food or spreads illless is an enemy of America in even rreater degree than in she past. As i fly hunter, alluding to the tenlency of the insect to spread disease, xpressed recently, the fly is a voidable "Germ-IIun." Every fly detroyed means a contribution, be it >ver so slight, to the cause of Ame ica's efficiency. The best time to swat the fly, of ourse, is early in the breeding seaion, before the young ones have be ome grandparents. Flies killed in he spring prevent hordes later on Jut it is a never-ending battle, and n late July and early August vig'ltnce becomes more than ever necessary. Work to kill (lies even at this ime may prevent abundant reproiuction before cold weather. In fac , here is no closed season in hunting lies. A swat on any day of the year s a meritorious swat, and even a fly >uzzing around a window-pane in midtinier should be regarded as I g timate prey. Controlling the Fly Careful screening of windows and loors during the summer months does not decrease the number of flies, but lit least it lessens the danger of contamination of food. This applies not irnly to homes, but with equal force to stores, restaurants, bakeries, dairies, and every other place where food is handled. Use of sticky fly papers to destroy flies that have gained access to houses also is well known, and fly-poison preparations are com mon. Many of the commercial fly poisons contain arsenic, and their use in the household is attended by considerable danger, especially to children. This danger, according to specialists of thelJ.S.Department of Agricult-.tr , is lessened by the use of a weak solution of formalin. An effective flv poison is made by adding three teaspoonfuls of commercial formalin to a pint of water sweetened with a little brown sugar. Flytraps may be used to advantag Their use has been advocated not only because of immediate results, DR. L. H. TROTT1, Dental Surgeon Chesterfield, S. C. Office on second floor in Ross Building.

E'JL'?O N but because of the chances that th< flics ma$ be caught before they la. their first batch of eggs, thus reducing the number of future generations Many types t?f fly traps are on th market, and as a rule the larger on. s are effective. The U. S. Department of Agriculture on request will sent directions for making flytraps, not only for household use, tut for catching flies and destroying eggs arount stables and other breeding places Preventive Meaturet. Fly papers, poisons and traps at best are only temporary expedients. The most logical method of abating the fly nuisance is the elimination or treatment of all breeding places. It would appear, specialists say, from what is known of the life history and habits of the common house fly that it is perfectly feasible for cities and towns to reduce the number of th s ; annoying and dangerous insects so ! greatly as to render them of comparatively slight account. Following ate sonic recommendations of entomologists who have studied the subject! thoroughly: Water-tight floors in stables, of concrete or masonry, prevent egg development. Horse manure should be kept in i fly-tight pits or bins, equipped wherever possible with flytraps. Manure, should be removed frequently, not less frequently than twice a week J during the summer months. In rural and suburban districts stable manure should be removed every morning and hauled out at once and spread rather thinly on the fields, not only to prevent development of fly eggs, but to get the maximum fertilizing value. Treatment of manure with chemical substances to kill tlu eggs anil maggots of the house fly has been found effective in experiments by the Department of Agriculture, which has i publications for free distribution describing in detail this and other meth. | oils of destroying flies, their eggs and i maggots. \'ot finlv/ h/ifun ufoKloo Knf I .

In cities, with better methods of garbage i disposal and with the lessening of the j number of horses and stables With the increase of street railways and! , automobiles, the time may not be far away, according to Department specialists, when window screens may be disregarded. BIG DAMAGE BY HAIL STORM Hartsvilfe, July 12. --- A disasterous hail storm cut a good-sized path for a distance of several miles north and east of Hartsville today about 1 :30! o'clock. A number of farmers had , their crops riddled. Especially was i much damage done to tobacco crom. The stones were of unusual size and fell for several minutes. The storm, did not strike Hartsville, but a good ; and much needed rain fell here.
