( ppr"' the joy of saving t Don't save for a "raiy day." I Save so that there won't be any ( M rainy days. That is the philosophy of optimism, ' "J the kind of thinkirur th?f ie in,in., 1.. i ?fr make you happy and make your old | age a period of fullest enjoyment. It is the forward-looking, empire-build- ( Ing spirit of America. <j There is a lot of joy in saving, r Don't let it be a dull, hateful duty, c Save so that you can win the delights r of competence, not because you can- i not afford to spend. Save so that you .v can afford, a little later, to buy something you want verv much. \ If you go into the saving habit with I a smile you will learn the joy of saving because saving leads to temper- s ance in all things, to constructive thinking, to clean living, to building s for the future. r Start, your mind going along sav- t ing lines and then watch it travel. tl it will take your fattening pocket- c book along with it. \ Learn to think in interest, to elimi- r nate waste, but for goodness sake ri don't be stingy. n Henry Ford has sevred notice that c. lie will contest the seat of Senator ^ Newberry, the Republican Senator- I elect from Michigan, on the ground < of fraud in counting the ballots and | because Newberry spent several thou- ji sand dollars in his campaign more I than the law allows for campaign ex- i k penses.

The Ad- . vertiser would surest that it should depend upon the quality of the output, its age, etc. the Mclean millions One of the tragic events that re- s cently happened in Washington City has caused great interest wherever s the occurrence has become known. a little boy, about five years of age. was playing in front of his father's home, when an automobile, that was exceeding the speed limit, came ru>h 111^ f&JiSIIK ttlMI nci ULIV t in- f'lllMI, tJ(lU>V I ing his death. This in itself is not ( an uncommon accident, hut the fact , that the child was an only son and I, the heir to one hundred million dol- t lars, adds interest to the incident. This child, horn to a great inheritance, was the grandson of .1. K. Me- p lean, the founder and publisher for many years of the Cincinnati Daily | Enquirer. The father of the child, v fearing that one some might attempt ji to kidnap the little hoy in order to secure a big sum of money as a ransome, had a private detective employ- , ed to watch the child and prevent p harm coming to him. Hut this de i tective and a score of servants who | had been left to guard the child, were neglectful and the child was killed by the automobile and the occupants made their escape. The parents of n the child were in Louisville at the u time of the accident. The Louisville Times makes this comment upon the affair: "Public interest centers upon his t death and horror is more widespread < because he had a heritage of a hun- , dred millions; hut every father and i mother will mourn for his parents j, because he was an only child and they are a man and a woman stricken in p the deepest niche of the human heart. |.

The full arnoun' of the p claim is 176,000.71) and a check for < that amount has been paid by the ,\ United States Treasury. Citizens of I South Carolina and a number of other tl Southern States will come in for a k hare of this money. The case has h boon in the courts for many years. <> n ' ^ ii It is a remarkable fact that though there are 200,01)0 oil wells in the " United States the average daily pro- w duction is very small. It is said that 11 thousands of wells in the older fields produce less than one quarter of a b barrel of crude oil daily, while four- h fifths of the total yield less than a w b*N*l ??ch. ti 4+ ^ ioy scout week june 8 to june 14 The President of the United States ?y proclamation has recommended to he people that the period beginning: iunday, June 8th, to Flag Day, June 4th, be observed as Boy Scout Week hroughoul the United States for the >urpose of strengthening the work >f the Boy Scouts of America. This troclamation by the President is the irst notification to the people of the Jnited States that a nation-wide cam?aign is to be begun: First: To secure a million members >f the National Council. Second: To secure a definite rec gnition of the effective service renlered by the Boy Scouts of America. Third: To make a survey of the acts relating to the boyhood of each community in order that with the co peration of churches, schools, and ither organizations definitely encaged in work for boys, adequate proision may be made for extending the Joy Scout program to a larger pro>ortion of American boyhood.

VANNAMAKER SAYS COTTON WILL GO MUCH HIGHER Special to The Advertiser: Columbia, May til. The Russian Joviet Government is anxiops to pur base ruin,<hhi bales of American cot on at the very earliest possible monent, according to a telegram re eived here to-day by .). Skottowe Vannamaker, presitlent of the Ante ican Cotton Association. In a statement given out to-night Mr. Wannamaker said that the inquiry regardng the possibility of securing this otton had come from a man in New fork City, signing hmself as "A. A. leller," who described himself as the ommereial representative in the 'nited States and the purchasing gent of the Soviet Government of tussia. According to Mr. Heller the tussians are anxious to start up the ?ig cotton mills at Moscow at once. The Dry Goods Situation That he has information regardng the dry goods situation which he las collected at great expense during he past few days, and which if diulged would cause a sensation, was a tateinent made hy Mr. Wannnmnknr ast night. This information has been ollected from both manufacturers ind dry goods dealers, says, .Mr. Wanlamaker, and shows that the dry mods she|\i,f Kurope are hare and hat they are partially I.are in this ountry. "Kurope is naked and our iwn country is only half clothed," h< aid. "I have undoubted facts in my posession showing that but for the nanipulation of markets by the spcci la tors and gamblers cotton would lave brought seventy-live cents a mund last fall," said Wannamaker. .Mill men iiave told me recently that hey could pay sixty-live cents pel tound basis middling for cotton now rid ma e money. There is sure to 10 a big advance in the price of coton. i> may not come immediately, Ithough we see what it did to-day nd what it has been doing for the mst few weeks. The Southern farmr has tin- it nation in hi-, own hands, le has the cotton now and the naked lorbl must get it from him to clothe Lself." Hold For Full Price .Mr. Wannamaker urged the farmrs to bold their cotton for a full ii i<? plus interest and plus the misreatnient and abuse of many years, le -.aid that the order from Russia hows that the Kuropenn countries re planning to start their mills up gain and when this is done the demand for cotton is going to he so real that the price is going to go leyond ail previous hounds. Regarding the order from Russia I is stated that this was probably inended to be tut ned over to the big otton export corporation now in the irocess of organization. OUieers of ho latter have not yet been chosen nit will be at an early date. Chairman Wannaniaker said yoserday that he had uwd the farmers list fail to hold their cotton and those fho have held thus for are |irohably ery thankful that they have done o. "I now ur^e them to hold on a idiilo longer," he said. "1 undersold hat ^reat quantities of cotton have icon sold for duly delivery. This is ure to force the market up because he houses doinjf the selling will have o get the cotton somehow and they re tjoinjr to have to pay a handsome rice for it." In speakinK "f the educational camaitcn that the American tint ton Assoiation is conducting in the north, Ir. Wannamaker said: "There arc many people north of be Mason and Dixon line who do not now that cotton has to he handled y the human hand from the time it pens in the hoi! until the cloth is lade. The man that handles it is ntitled to a living, to a home to live i, to schools for his children and to tages which will enable him to give hese children advantages. We are etting fJTrth the fact in our letters a the people of the North that this as not been possible with prices /hich the cotton fanners have goten during the paw .'cw year*." r_#.. a. .w FLAG ETIQUET It is important to know just how a loyal American citizen is expected to act toward the flan and the rules re- ! garding: behavior and courtesy due ! the flag:. Here is the flag etiquet as authorized by the United States. When the colors are passing:, the i spectator, if a man, should halt when i walking, arise if sitting, and uncover, ! holding: the headdress opposite his. left shoulder with the right hand. A woman should stand at attention as the flair passes by. When the flag is waving: from a stationary flagstaff or pole it is not saluted with the hand. In decorating, the flair should never be festooned or draped, but always hung: flat. If hunir with stripes horizontal, the Union should be in the upper left hand corner. If hung perpendicularly, Union should be in upper rigrht hand corner. When the flair is carried in parade or when crost with other flairs the IIV/TT I J L.C.AIM1 WHERE TO SPIN WEBS In his youth Mark Twain edited a weekly journal in a small western town. A .subscriber wrote to hini one 'lay to remark that he ha.I dis covered ? spider concealed in the folds of i recently delivered paper. The wrier wanted to know whether su.h an ocourance was a sign of rood or tail luck. The young eilitor rejdied in the next issue as follows: 'Constant Reader: The appearance of a spider in a copy of last week's paper was a sign of neither good nor had luck; that intelligent insect was merely studying our columns in order to ascertain whether any store in the neighborhood had failed to advertise in our paper, in order tha' he might make for that estahli ;hroent ur.d there weave a weh across the floorway, where he might dwell in undisturbed peace." Let's Stop Eating Cotton and Tobacco At a recent farmers' conference at I'uskegce Institute a Negro farmer told how he had raised $1,200 worth of cotton and put all the money in the hank. He had raised enough corn, meat, poultry, vegetables, etc. to feed his family and meet running expenses, so his eotton was truly a "money erop." We don't eat cotton any more," he is reported to have said; "we hank it." That is the thing for cotton growers generally to do-?to <]uiL eating cotton. Many of them have <|uit hut I then are still too many who look to the cotton field for their bread and meat. Some tobacco farmers, too, still have the same unfortunate hahit, ind they, too, must break themselves of it. Cotton and tobacco are good crops, but not to eat. Let's quit trying to eat them. Southern Agriculturist. WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped your neighbors. Mrs. J. A. Coxe, Cheraw, S. C., says: "I suffered terribly from kid ney trouble about four years ago and the pains were so severe I was in consmall of my back and would shoot np and down as, if a knife were piercing me. 1 had terrible headaches and 1 w.?:? so nervous, I couldn't stay quiet a minute. I couldn't sleep because the pain was so bad. My kidneys acted irregularly, too, arid certainly caused me a lot of annoyance. A friend told me about Doan's Kidney pills arid I took a few doses. I could feel myself gtting relief. I continued I taking them and in all used five boxes. (Joan's cainpletely cured me." Price fit) cents at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mrs. Coxe had. Fostcr-Milburn Co., ! Mfgrs., Buffalo N. Y. ?Adv.4 Stars and Stripes should always be on the rinht hand side. The law specifically forbids the use of any representation of the flan in any manner or in connection with merchandise for sale. The flan should be raised at sunrise md lowered at sunset. It should not be displayed on stormy days or, except when under of the enemy, left over ninht. Altho there is no authoritative ruling which compels civilians to lower their flan at sundown, noud taste should impel them to follow the tradiaions of the army and navy in this sundown ceremonial. Primarily, the flan is raised to be seen, and secondarily, the flan is somothinn to be naurded, treasured, and so tradition holds it shall not be menaced by the darkness. To leave the flan nut at night unattended is proof of shift leness, or at least carelessness. On memorial day the flair should be desplayed at half-mast from sunrise until noon, and at the peak froin noon until sunset. It should, on being retired, never be allowed to touch the ground. When the "Star Spanjrled Banner" 1 is played or sung, uncover, stand and remain standing, in silence, until it is finished. Applause at the conclusion of the "Star Spangled Banner" is out of place. Worn out flags and useless flags should la* destroyed by burning and never disposed of in any other way. A flag torn or frayed by the wind and weather should never again be hoisted until, it has been repaired. This is a regulation of both the army and the navy and the rule also be followed by all civilians. Lirtti/ cnirvrnc i r * n at HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE; W.W.L.S. BOY REPLIES In reply.to my honorable opponent's debate in the paper last week, I wish to say that the debate which was issued by the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society was the work of one and only one of its members. . If one boy can make the girls think that all the society helped him with his work, what could all the society put out! If the girls would take a glance at the Sunday school lesson for-two SunSundays back they would have all the proof they need. The Bible said t that God made man in His own im- j, oge. Is there a better pattern anywhere than God? I know some girls ? Ihi-k they were made after a better 8 one, but they were not. The Bible *1 also said that God put man on the h eurih to rule over everything and j Aoni.sn was put here as a companion to iii ,i. Now anybody can see that if " ?od i ut man here to rule and woman as an associate that He would give a man more mental power. J ft!y opponent said in her first de- a bate that it took the devil to tempt woman, but woman tempted man. I !' wish to say that both woman and the " devil tempted him. To-day a man has an analysing o brain. He is out in the world every day confronting new problems of life, while the women are at home doing the housework, which they should, just like their ancestors. \V hy are there so many girls who , don't want to go t<> Winthrop Col- 1 iege? Because* it is hard work. Take ^ Carolina, on the other hand, where * the boys take up in the first year what 4 the girls at Winthrop do in the second. The University takes the same work in the list year that Columbia K College does in the third. Does not 81 that show that the boy's mind is far past that of the girl's? o I he people wanting woman suf- ^ frage show weakness of mind, because when the woman starts a po- w litical campaign in the world, right ^ then the respect that man has for w woman is going to fall. How the birls enjoy the Edison! 8j Who invented it? jj How they like to ride in the car! (j Who invented it? ' W ho has helped in every way to w the comfort and pleasure of tHfo world? It has been the man. Never ^ in the crises of (his world has a*wnm- a an been called upon to express her f, opinion on anything. In conclusion I want to give the reason for not putting our name at _ the bottom of our articles. It'is not our desire that the credit should go to any one individual, but we want everybody to know what the Woodrow Wilson Society is made of. A Member of the W.W.L.S.

Mr. Ford was busy sawing wood with which to replenish the camp lire when he was approached by the small son a neighbor, a Mr. Lee, who offered his assitance. "All right, my sonny, come on", remarked tin- noted car maker; and I when the two had been cutting wood | awhile, Mr. Ford said to his young !i?

Not for a moment overawed by the great man in whose presence he I stood, the hid retorted: "And do you xnow you are sawing wood with Robert K. Lee?" (He received from Mr. Ford a brand new car for this bright remark. Ford, it is stated, told the members of his parly, who were, John Thomas F.dison and II.
