AN ENEMY AT HOME
The Washington correspondent of ]
The Atlanta Constitution referring to I
the opposition in the United States j
Senate to the League of Nations has i
this pertinent statement:
"Woodrow Wilson is still the central
figure on the international stage, i
notwithstanding its change of loca- !
, tion. And it is strange, too, that the i
gerat American champion of a
righteous peace, should now train
his guns, not on a handful of cringing
and whining German delegates ;
representing a crushed hut pugnacious
enemy nation, hut upon a new
enemy? a more dangerous enemy
than the shackled Germans?upon a
determined group of disapproving
United States senators "hell-bctnt"
for overthrowing what the president
created in France."
COST OF WAR
They have been Pguring up in
Washington what tl < war with Germany
cost in money.
Secretary Glass puts the cost of
the war at 530,177,000.0(10.00. About
20 per cent, of this war cost was
paid by taxes and other revenues,
the remainder coming from Liberty
Loans and War Savings Stamps.
From a money standpoint, not counting
the horrors of war, a League of
Nations to enforce world peace would
be a good proposition.
A BAD DAY FOR PROFITEERS
As an aftermath of the prize tight
at joicuo, unio, in winch \\ mard.
the world champion, was whipped, it
is interesting to note that the fellows
who were trying to make money by
gouging the visitors, got badly left.
They thought the city would be so '
crowded that people would pay any
price for accommodations. In one
instance a man fitted up at. old abandoned
five-story building with cots. '
expecting men to be so tired at night
they would pay $5.00 for a place to
rest. Only lit people took advant- '
age of the cot proposition and 12 ^
of them got away without paying.
Another fellow chartered boats to '
carry people a very short distance to '
the fight, but nobody used his boats. '
Another crowd bought a big block of
tickets that they were going to sell
at 500 per cent, profit, hut it was
found that the tickets still in the 1
hands of legitimate agents supplied
the demand and they had their big
,.e i..ft n,..i
unsold.
It was a bad day for human hops
as well as for Willard.
The British army engineers now in
Palestine made better time than
Moses did when he and the Israelitish
hosts were on the way to the
promised land. The army engineers
made the trip in five days that took
the Israelites forty years to make.
CAN YOU PREACH?
The Southern Methodist church is
planning to enlist twenty thousand
laymen as preachers. The fact that
the church has 20,000 churches but
lacks several thousand preachers to
supply those churches is the reason of
the call for laymen preachers. Business
and professional men can f?o out
into the rural districts and fill pulpits
that are not supplied with pastors.
The Dallas (Texas) News, says that
the leaders of the denomination in
that State will make all the more
forceful preachers because they will
take the experiences of a busy week
amontf busy men into the pulpits with
them and their sermons will, therefore,
be practical and to the point.
BETTER STAY AT HOME
A crowd of negroes have left Ala- i
bama for the North on the promise
of higher wages. Somebody ought
to read them the speech of Republican
Senator Borah, where he said the 1
Northern States were guilty of treating
the negroes badly and cited the
Illinois lynching affair, where a number
of negroes from the South were
killed for the crime of seeking work
in that State. The houses that were 1
sheltering them were burned and
when the negroes tried to esape they
X were hacked to pieces.
\ The 17-year locusts are on the
\ way. They are not considered as
l .dangerous as they were once thought
/A to be. The scientists say the only
\ damage they do is to sting small fruit
/ and drill holes in the limbs of trees
in order to lay their eggs. The 17year
locusts used to be considered a
\ sign of war and a good many other
B?" disagreeable things.
DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE
ESTIMATES YEAR'S CROP
A report issued by B. B. Hare,
South Carolina Field Agent of United
Staes Bureau of Crop Estimates,
shows an increase of 4 per cent of
:orn acreage in South Carolina ov^r
;hnt of last year, the estimated acreige
being 2,340,000 acres. Condition
>n July 1, was 81 per cent of normal,;quivalent
to an average yield of 17
jushels per acre. The early plantngs
range from "fair" to "good",
vhile lute plantings in various sec-1
ions are suffering from too much ?
ain, many fields being foul with
rrass and very much in need of cultivation.
Considerable damage is rejorted
to bottom lands from overlow
of creeks and rivers, caused by
tcent excessive rains.
>The acreage of Iris hpotatoes is a
i reduction of 5 per cent as compared
.vith last year, while the acreage of ,
sweet potatoes remains the same.
Condition of the former is 85 perj
:ent and the latter DO per cent of nor
tnal. I
Acreage in tobacco has increased
from 86,400 acres in 1918 to 112,-'
1)00 in 1919. Condition on July 1,|
is reported at 85 per cent of normal,
equivalent to an average yield of
765 pounds per acre.
Acreage in peanuts has been reduced
10 per cent as compared with
last year, and a 5 per cent reduction
in acreage of sorghum cane (for sirup)
is noted. Condition of both is
88 per cent of normal.
The apple and peach crops are both
reported at 4 8 per cent, or 2 per cent
less than one-half, of a normal crop.
The condition of other crops is as
follows; Rice 88 per cent of normal;
wheat 75; oats 80; rye 86; hay 84;
millet 85; cowpeas 85; tomatoes 85;
cabbapes 85; onions 8(5, prapes 86;
pears 58; watermelons 80; cantaloupes
and muskmelons 78.
The estimated production of corn
for the entire United States is 2,815,000,000
bushels, as apainst 2,583,000,000
bushels last year. The production
of cotton in round numbers
is estimated at 1 1,000,000 bales as
compared with 12,000,000 bales in 1010.
The production of wheat will apmate
1,160,000,000 bushels, or 244,000,000
bushels more than last year
and 870,000,000 bushels more than
the five-year averape from 1013 to
1017 inclusive. The price of wheat
per bushel on .July 1, was $2.22 as
apainst $2.03 on the correspondinp
date of last year.
PROHIBITION BEING ENFORCED
Prohibition is beinp enforced effectively
throuphout the United
States,says Attorney General Palmer.
Sale of "hard" liquor such as whiskey,
pin and brandy, virtually has
ceased, he asserts, except for scatterinp
violations of the law as are inevitable
with any new restrictive statute.
Manufacture and sale of beer also is
prohibited except in communities
where the courts have ruled apainst
the contention of the Department of
Justice that 2.75 per cent alcoholic
drinks are forbidden
by law and in those instances prosecutions
will be instituted if the supreme
court finally upolds the department's
view.
Mr. Palmer said he had expressed
no opinion on enforcement lepislation
pendinp in conpress except to say to
interested representatives that the de
partnient would enforce vigorously
whatever measure was enacted.
If the enforcement of war time
and constitutional prohibition is
lodged with the department of justice
as seems most likely and not with
the bureau of internal revenue or the
treasury department, a special division
will have to be created to handle
the work .
UNCLE SAM, EGG MESSENGER
The practicability of shipping eggs
by parcel post is demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels of eggs than
any other one product pass through
the mail. In order to test various
methods of packing and handling eggs
the Office of Markets and Rural Organization
has shipped more than 700
dozen eggs through the mails from
various points, under the various conditions
and different types of containers,
without undue loss, either in the
expense of shipment or the condition
of the eggs on reaching the customers
kitchen.

age of dressed fowls according to specialists
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, is to grasp the
end of the breast bone farthest from
the head between the .thumb and linger
and attempt to bend it to one
side. In a very young bird, such as a
broiler chicken or a green goose, it
will bend easily like the cartilage of
the human ear. In a bird a year or so
old, it will be brittle and, in an old
bird tough and hard to bend or break.
Unscrupulous dealers sometimes
break one end of the breast bone before
showing the bird on tl e market,
ir> order that the buyer will believe
the bird to be a young one.

FINANCING COTTON FARMERS
OBJECT OF ASSOCIATION
__
Columbia S. C. July 23?The
object of the American And South
Carolina Cotton Associationstis simply
to see to it that henceforth capital
shall be avilable for the financing
of cotton produced by the farmer and
thus to make the cotton truly respond
to the law of nupply and demand instead
of being controlled by what is
distress cotton thrown on a bad market
because the owner is compelled
to sell immediately", says a statement
issued from the headquarters
of the South Carolina Cotton Association
today setting forth the purposes
of the organization. The statement
declares that the association is
working for the economic freedom of
the South.
"American citizens outside of the
cotton belt," says the statement"
should take a lively interest in these
Cotton Associations Organizations
moving rapidly forward toward complte
and permanent form, and looking
to the interests of the cotton producing
states of the nation. There is
no reason why American citizens of
all parts of the country shouldn't feel
the most friendly interest in the success
of this Southern organization.
Its ultimate success will react favorably
upon all parts of the country.
"The primary step being taken by
the association looks to organization
of the cotton interest of the South
for mutual benefit. This does not
involve any animosity or hostility towards
cotton interests in other parts
of the nation. All who know the history
of cotton will readily admit that
| cotton has enriched all who handled
it except the farmers who do the most
urmding and exhausting toil ir. the
raising of the raw product. The reason
for this unreasonable state of
affairs in obvious. The farmers of
the South have never been sufficiently
organized to work in harmony for
their benefit. Since the war between
the States they have r.cver had sufficient
capital available to enable
them to store their cotton and hold it
for a fair price. Multitudes of poorer
farmers have been forced to sell their
cotton for whatever price it might
bring as soon as it could be gathered
from the field and ginned. The low
price for which the poorer farmers
were forced to sell their cotton set
the price for the entire crop then
being offered ori the market. Had it
been possible to finance the portion of
the crop for which immediate cash
was needed, a fair price for the entire
crop could have been obtained.
he object of the Cotton Association
is, simply to see to it that henceforth
capital shall be available for the financing
of this portion of the crop,
and thus to make the cotton market
truly respond to the law of supply
and demand instead of being controlled
by what is distress cotton
thrown on a bad market because the
owner is compelled to rff-U immediately.
"The association by financing this
portion of the cotton crop will tend
to end one of the abuses of the eotton
exchange, the manipilation of
the the market by those
interested artificially depressing the
price of the cotton. When the producer
who needs cash for his cotton can
get this cash on easy terms whil?
holding his coiton in fire proof, insured,
and weather proof warehouses,
he will simply refrain from selling
when the cotton exchange is artificially
manipulated so as to drop the
price of cotton below what the staple
should naturally bring as governed by
the demand and by the price of manufactured
goods. The legitimate interests
of the cotton spinners of New
England will in no way suffer through
this interference with the activities
of the manipulator on the cotton ex
change. Oh the contrary the legitimate
the New England spinners will
be furnished by stabilizing the cotton
market, which will save
the spihner from violent
fluctuation and so enable him to
calculate accurately and purchase
stocks with some degree of certainty
as to further prices of the commodity
The prices quoted on the cotton exchange
will then become real indicators
of the state of the actual market
as governed by supply and demand.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop using dangerous drug before
it salivates you! It's horrible!
You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver
and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a bottle of Dodson's Li!
ver Tone and take a spoonful tonight.
If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you right up better than
calomel and without griping or making
you sick I want you to go buck to
the store and get your money.
Take calomel and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseatd.
Don't lose a day's work. Take a
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's
Liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling great. It's perfectly harmless,
so give it to your children any
time. It can't salivate, so let them
eat anything afterwards. Adv. 2.

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES 1C
ON NIG BALLOON TRIP
It is not generally known that the
flight of the British Airship R-34 is
an event of the greatest importance h
in establishing the possibilities of I'
aviation for practical commercial and 1
pnssenger-carryiiig purposes. It is li
the first Trans-Atlantic crossing by d
air from East to West. The other two, h
one by Commander Read in the Ame- o
rican NC-4 by way of the Azores in
three "hops" and the non-stop flight f
from Newfoundland to Ireland by t
Captain Alcock, were from East to ' c
West. a
The dead weight of the airship is o
30 tons, and when fully equiped for b
flight except for gasoline, water and ii
oil, is sixty tons. Its length over all v
is 665 feet, height (over all) 92 feet, g
girth 80 feet. It has 19 gas bags (not
balloonettes) with a capacity of
2,000,000 cubic feet of gas. It is longer
than the Singer Building is high, i]
5 Sunbeam motors of 12 cylinders
each supply the motive po|ver. Mag- (
ncto Ignition is, of course, exclusively
used for its intense hot spark and J
absolute reliability. For this purpose
two magnetos are used on o-u-h b
twelve-cylinder engine, that is, one
magneto for each six cylinders or ten magnetos
for the sixty cylinders
which form the total power plant.
The normal 3peed of the engines is j
2100 revolutions per minute, each engine
develops 275 horse power, or
1375 horse power in all.
This power was transmitted to the
5 propellers through clutch-and gear
mechanism, not by direct drive as is r
the ctiec with j.jrplanes.
It carried 33-officers and crew ani
one stowaway. The officers ar^:
Major G. H. Scott, Commander
Major G. G. H. Cooke, Navigating
Officer
Capt. Greenhard, First Officer
Lieut. Scotter, Engineering Officer
Lieut. Durraant, Wireless Officer
Capt. Harris, Meteorological Officer
Lieutenant Commander Zachery
Landsome, of the United States Navy
was on board representing the United
States Navy Department,* by special
invitation of the Royal Air Force of
Great Britain.
The Royal Air Force of England is
a separate governmental department
of a combination of the Army and
Navy Aviators, and many of them
wear the naval nuiforms by preference.
The 2050 sea miles from Ireland
to Nova Scotia was traveled in 59
hours at an average speed of 35 miles
per hour. Continuing 1080 miles further
to New York, made the total
non stop distance 3130 miles.
The average speed for the full trip
was 28 sea miles per hour. She arrived
safely at Roosevelt Field,N. Y.,
July 6th, where she was anchored to
large concrete blocks set in the
ground by the United States Government,
in preparation for her arrival.
The work, including the services of
100 expert mechanics, cost $110,000
in all.
The Royal Air Force requested that
no airplanes be allowed in the air to
escort it upon its arrival in this coun- ^
bi j. mi- iwuouii iui wins icijut-ai wus | .
that the flame of the evhaust from the
airplanes might ignite some of the |
escaping gas from the airship and .
thereby cause fire or explosion.
