William P. Borland, for many years a member of the house from Missouri, has gone down to defeat as many ! have already gone this year, and at ' others will eo in South Carolina and n elsewhere unless they can square themselves in the present war crisis. [ Congressman Borland has been fearless in his attacks upon govern- 1 nient clerks and one of his main idea;. 1 h 3 keen to cause them a longer working day with no increased pay ,, therefor. Just a few months ago . Mr. Borland had an amendment plac- ed to the postoffice appropriation bill 11 providing for this eight hour day. It did not seem fair to the president, who is with the people, and it got the White House veto without delay. Borland insisted upon passing thii law even in the face of the presi dent's disapproval and the administration's opposition, but, as is usua in such cases, after being adopted, v it went to the president and was vetoed. It was a duplication of the Chamberlain bill in the senate, which the president disliked because it sav- , ored of congress taking over the exe- , cutive branch of the government, : hence the veto. Borland, howver, did not stop here but was insistent that ^ his amendment go through in spite 8 of White House opposition. It fail_-j it* i a. i i.~.1 tfci. nis lusi prup was miuim-u iruin . under him in his claims that he was a steadfast supporter of the udminisA tration, and all that wus necessary ' to complete his downfall politically ( was the casting of the ballots, which j the people of Kansas City and surrounding territory did. They took Borland's measure, made the necessary computation which showed that , he did not square with the administration and retired him to private ' life. I This is the last of Borland and con- ] gross. In South Carolina, word , reaches Washington, more political funerals are in the making and the , bells will toll when the votes are polled, for the reason that the thinking people of that State believe it 1 inconceivable that others than those ^ not only in harmony with the admin istration but who are in co-operation < with all present war plans should i ii^of str< They Are M CEE the rugged support;.: of the Ajax tread.

Slaydcn, for many years an nfluential member of the house, is ut of the way because of his lack of ympathy for the administration, and Jeff" McLemore of the same State las also been defeated. In Florida, W. J. Kchoe has been lefeated because the people did not ike his war votes, and in Georgia Thomas W. Hardwich is apparently ;oing down in defeat in the approachng primaries for the senate because f his open and continued opposition o our war plans. It is the same thing all over the ountry. The next House will probbly remain Democratic, but it will ome nearer being a 100 per cent. American house than previous rec>rds have ever shown. There is no ilace for the anti-administration nan. There is probably no State in the Jnion which is offering better mateial for her various offices at the iresent time than South Carolina; 11 the way down the line from Unied State senate to the minor county iaces. A vote for Dial and the men dio are laboring with him to keep he State's record clean, to help win he war and repel Hun savagery, neans a cordial welcome to the White louse. The election of any other ;ind of representatives would mean hat the White House doors would emain closed to them as they now re. These men, if sent here, would e worse than useless, and of no value whatever to the people who elected hem or to the State and besides a eal obstruction in the present great var crisis. South Carolina need only to see to t that the real Democrats are prolerly supported by the ballots on dection day and this done, there will dways be, as is now the case, a corlial welcome at the White House. There is and will be no place or itanding in congress or out of it for iny but those who have proven themlelves absolutely 100 per cent. Ame'ican in both thought and deed. What has heen done in Florida, Texas and Missouri should be u guide o any who ure in doubt in South Carolina. Loyalty counts and nothng else.

Willet, who writes to the Augusta Chronicle under the head of "Common Sense Comments." He formerly wrote "Plant Hints" for that paper but his articles took f such a wide range that the more com- r prehensive title ust mentioned has ' been adopted. n In a recent paper on Proletarianism, Mr. Willet presents forcibly some ' facts that the people of this country * should seriously consider. Regret i that 'the Advertiser has not space at c this time to give the article entire. c Here are some sample paragraphs: d "It is u sore fact that the spirit a 01 me DoisneviKi ik not confined today 8 to Russia, but is found here in Ame- s rica and in England, France and Ita- v ly. In its essentials, proletarianism it is alway international, and along with e international ainiB, at international revolution; which means, in turn, uni- versl chaos, disruption and downfall ? and anarchism. "Proletarianism has betrayed and lestroyed Russia. Even if Russia is n resurrected, it will take fifty years to jj put her economically and morally |, back to her old status. ' t; "The man gets payment by the tl month or by the year, and the man n has a bank account and who builds a n home for himself, puts himself auto- c matically out of the ranks proletari- u anism. He is a man that his country jj and society can bank on, and he in f turn carries in his heart hope for e the morrow." f "Proletarianism has confiscated alii >f Russia's wealth; wealth to it is a j diabolical thing except as owned by 0 tself. The slogan of these proletari- a ana is "help yourself" to money, f ands, houses, clothing, food or what t lot. '1 he proletarian in Russiu hat v jcen easily transformed into a robber md a thug and a wholesale murderer. tl ihere is not one atom of the con j itruclive in him. Nothing in Russia u is going forward; everything is going j backward. It is a land of terror and j bloodshed and dissolution. And it 2 | s in the mind of the Russian prole- * utnui mm this Kusisan condition r <huil pervade throughout the world ^ jnder international revolution." c Referring to Mr. Willet's article, a -VIr. Jacob D. bean, of Mt. Carmel, ^ South Carolina, a railroad employee j, .vrites to the Chronicle a letter that t Editor I.ayden characterizes as a mas- a terpiece and says further more: a "It is a humble, heart-felt 'experi- ^ cnce talk' by one who has walked ^ life's thorny path?to happiness and a .ntelligence. But he was not afflicted with the "spirit of proletarianism;" is soine of his less successful fellow workers were." Mr. Dean, referring to men who began service with the railroad when he did, says: "A spirit of discontent, a desire to . ove, too prone to be led away by very new notion some fellow presented to them, finds them now, I am sorry to say, almost past, and past .he meridian of life in just the same condition they commenced. This is written as an admonition from an old employee to those that have just commenced in the service?to stick, save ind keep everlastingly at it. I.isten to no "propaganda," and you are safe for this life." THE MUD OF FLANDERS A London dispatch says that, on :us return from u trip to the front, | M u j. Gen. Maurice, formerly director \ of military operations at the War . Ollice, was asked by the Associated Press correspondent what phase of battle-front activity impressed him i most. "Always the same thing?the mud," he replied. "It is the most re- ( markable mud in the world. As an enemy, it is more persistent than the c Germans and more deadly than his , artillery. , "1 had a most remarkable object lesson of the power of the Flanders mud during my week in the battle area. I visited a hospital where there ; were two of our men who had been ^ rescued after spending thirty hours ( in the grip of a Flanders mudhole. , The two men, advancing across No Man's Land in the scmidarkness, had stumbled into a hole, and found themselves inextricably in the clutches of the thick mud at the bottom. When 1 rescued they had been there for thirty hours and had been dr?wn wniat. deep into the clay. ? "All aorta of erpcdicnls were used to ertricate them, and it waa finally found necessary to fit a harness to them and pull them out with a team of mules. Both men had their hips j and knees dislocated in the process, t That is Flanders mud!" i ALL HONOR TO HIM WHO DELIV- i ERS THE GOODS, HE'S THE MAN OF THE HOUR t A preparation that gives results, ' delivers the goods, restores your ( health, is the one you need in the hour that old disease comes knocking ' at your door.

Celery is blanced by one of the lany processes through which the ght is excluded from the growing afstalk. The normai growth >1 he leaf is not hindered, but through he absence of sunlight, the development of chlororphil (green coloring matter) in the leafstalk is checked. )f the many materials and devices ised ,in the blanching of celery robably the best results are had rom the use of boards, paper or arth. Blanching by Board*. Karly celery, or thut which is to >e harvested before the cool months f fall is generally blanched by leans of boards. The boards used or this purpose should be from 10 o 16 feet in length, 12 to 14 inches zide, and one inch thick. When the eaf stems are about one-half inch n diameterat a distance of about ne inch from the ground, the danching process may be begun. The boards are placed flat side down n both sides of the row with one dge near the plants. In this posiion the boards on both sides af the ow arc brought to u vertical posiion at the same time the lower edge if each board just touching the base if the leaves. The boards are held in his position by stakes driven in the rround or by short pieces of laths acked across the top of the boards 1 six foot intervals. The boards may lso be held in place by means of loocks made of heavy wire, which is lecidedly the most rapid way of ipacing the boards, but the plants nust be large enough to assist in lolding the boards in an upright posiion. Great care must be taken tc jrevent the light reaching the plant: from the lower edge of the boards. A: i precautionary measure against this ;he soil should be slightly banket igainst the boards by means of i :elery hiller of cultivator. Wher ,he celery is blanched, which wil equire three or four weeks, it i: larvested and the boards may bt jsed again during the same season When the celery is to be blanchec iy the use of boards, paper or tile iome of the self-blanching varieties should be used; and it must not bt forgotten that the rows are thret feet apart instead of six feet, as ir ;he case of soil blanching. The advantage of this method ovei :he soil method is that double tlu lumber of rows can bt* gotten or .he same area. However, the soi ilanched celery is of better quanlit) ind is more easily handled. Blanching by Paper. Of the three methods mentioned danching by means of paper is probsbly, at this time, the moat delicate ind impracticable for the commer rial grower. However, there art nany forms of paper blanchers or he general market, some of which re being used very effectively. Probibly the most practical paper blanchng device is where 12" rolls of buildng paper (processed paper for this ?urpose) are used in much the same vay as where boards are used. Afer the crop has been harvested, the >aper may be rewound and used notner season. The same planting distances apply o this method as for boards. "A SPLENDID TONIC" >ays Hixson Lady Who, On Doctor's Adrice* Took Carda? And Is Now Well. Htxson, Tenn.?"About 10 years ago [ was..." says Mrs. J. B. Oadd, of his place. "I suffered with a pain in ny left side, could not sleep at night with this pain, always in the left ilde... My doctor told me to use Cardul.
