Novembei SUCCESSFUL COVER CROP CAMPAIGNS Clemson College, Sept.?('over crop campaigns have been conducted in several South Carolina counties recently with fine results. In Newberry County six school district meetings were held to interest the farmers in growing more clover and starting alfalfa. These were attended by 88 farmers, 111 of whom ordered alfalfa ana ciover seea ana ground lime. County Agent Mills says: "1 find that farmers are becoming disgusted with fodder pulling as a means of getting roughage and only wait to be shown a substitute, One or two acres of alfalfa to the mule on each farm will deal a death blow to fodder pulling." In Greenville County the clover campaign resulted in ordering 11,000 pounds of crimson clover seed for thirty-odd farmers who have not before planted clover, thus doubling the number of farmers planting clover and more than doubling the acreage in the county. In Chetser County farmers have bought two cars of rye seed for cover crops to turn under in the dough stage as green manuring, many farmers who used rye last year having declared that rye had increased their cotton yield 25 per cent up. In Fairfield County 360 tons of lime and 3000 pounds of alfalfa seed have been ordered already and orders arc still being made. In Abbeville County a two-day drive for alfalfa resulted in securing twenty new alfalfa farmers, who will plant alfalfa by a close following of the county agent's thorough preparation ruk" SOUTH CAROLINA FLYER MEETS DEATH IN TEXAS Lieut.

Declaring ' the Southeastern States would today be in a vastly more prosperous con- 1 dition if they had never raised a bale ' of cotton, Senator Hoke Smith, of ( Georgia, in an address here before 1 the meeting' of cotton growers | factors and bankers, urged the neces- ; sity of holding cotton until the demand created a satisfactory price. "I earnestly hope," said '.he Georgia Senator, "that the farmers will quit raising cotton ir. America unless they can receive a vastly better price for it. You must stand together col lectively organized by counties, and hold your cotton until it brings you a price that will compensate for the labor put into its culture. The cotton farmer should during the coming season receive at least as high a price for his cotton as that which cotton has brought any time during the past twelve months." He advised farmers to keep new cotton off the market entirely during September end from the first of October on to sell slowly only as manufacturers need it. "In the meantime," he said, 'while gradually selling your cotton plant foodstuffs and raise cattle and hogs. Let the world undershand that you will meet the situation next fall, independent and owning your cotton." EVER SALIVATED BY CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel is quicksilver and acts like dynamite on your liver. Calomel loses you a day. You know what calomel ig. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It j crashes into sour bile like dynamite, ' cramping and sickening you. Calo- j mel attacks the bones and should , never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of danger- j oils calomel ill at. remember thsif vmir ' Jruggist sells for a few cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which s entirely vegetable and pleasant to J ake and is a perfect substitute for 'alomei. It is guaranteed to start four liver without stirring you up nside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you ick the next day; it loses you a day's vork. Dodson's Liver Tone straightns you right ip and you feel great, live it to the children because it is erfootly harmless and doesn't gripe. *??* i -VTI- "jif ~'sin irtaia ntanWir fjj . m&emmmmmmmammmmmmammmmmmrnmm Fair, t, 15 ,! >ws :; i t \ (i t y leaping BACK- 1 g in a small tank r c s s t \ kvill set fire to his m a great height, ( t V Ik v n '1 c tL r 1:?

With the inuration of Mr. Osborne's humane effforts music was one of the first inlucements offered the unfortunates, 'he effect of this method is now lation-wide. What has been tried in ling Sing has been exemplified in the louth by the Salvation Army. Brigadier and Mrs: A. W. Crawford ix or seven years ago visited tRe 'ederal prison in Atlanta one Sunday norning to conduct special religious ervices. During this service Mrs. Crawford sand "Jesus' Love Is Sweetr as the Days Co By." While she /as singing, she noticed that a young nan was deeply affected by the hymn, nquiries disclosed the fact that .he lad been sent to the Federal Prison rom Washington, D. C., to serve a ive-year sentence. m 'I wo weeks after attending the f:r;n en ice of the Salvation Army, he was 'onverted and became one of the firm costers of the "Brighter Duy ,eague,"the Salvation Army prison irganization. From that time on be /as a model prisoner and did everyhing within his power to spread the jospcl of Faith among his fellowmen. Ie served his sentence and upon his elease came direct to the Salvation Vrmy headquarters in Atlanta and /as sent to the Industrial Home on Vhitehall St., where he was put to' /ork until a permanent position could e secured for him. Several days later the same young nan was sent to Atlanta to do some hopping for the home. While in one r it. ? . - i me largest stores he met a man rom Tennessee, who rcognizd him. le came over to the man who was reently released from the * Federal >enitentiary and said, "Unless you rive me money, I will give you up; rou can't fool me, I know they want rou in Tennessee." That did not alarm the mnn who vanted to make good. He went to he nearest telegraph station and vired the authorities of Tennessee he following message: "I am ready o give myself up; come and get me." The authorities came to Atlanta tnnd irrested the man who was befriended jy the Salvation Army, taking him jack to the scene of his crime, lie vas tried and sentenced to five nonths. He served his sentence und vas a free man forgetting the past ind living for the future. This all happened several years igo. The former convict has proved limself to be a real man and is now >n the highway to successs, having re-established himself as a responsijle citizen of Atlanta. It is this kind >f work, done under cover, and other *ork which cannot be advertised, that ias made the Salvation Army the nost beloved organization in the :ountry today. The old slogan "A man may be lown but never out," is well exemplified in the foregoing story. In Chesterfield County about four hundred members have been secured For the South Carolina Cotton Association. The work of organizing is n the hand osf solicitors in different jections. Mr. W. J. Tiller has blanks md is more than anxious to secure members. All who have not done so ire urged to see Mr. Tiller and sign up. 7 Came It are sold every' wherein scientifically sealed paqkaflcB of 20 cigarottes or ten package s(2 00 cigarettes) In a Alaasins-paper-CQVered carton.

C. . - . r k-yV, lirJt.f 'hi COTTON WAREHOUSE ACT AMENDED a i j Clemson College, Sept. 22?To place the business of cotton warehousing on a staple basis and provide receipts for cotton that are negotiable at any bank haa long been an aim of persons interetsed in' cotton, an<l under tfie amended United States cotton warehouse act this is likely to be realized. The warehouse act has just been amended so far ns to permit the acceptance of personal bonds from warehouses and to permit the issuance of negotiable receipts, when requested by the depositors of cotfon in the warehouse, without stating the the grade of the cotton. The grade must be stated, however, unless the request to omit it is made. The purpose of the warehouse act is to create a warehouse receipt of unquestioned value and one which will be acceptable to all bankers as security for obtaining loans, regardless of the location of the warehouse. In this way warehousemen will furnish a receipt to their cutsomers which will be of the utmost value to them as negotiable paper and enable them to borrow close to the actual value of their'storcd goods at cheaper interest rates. Thus they may market their cotton slowly and in conformity with the needs of the manufacturers. The full description of the cotton stored requested to be stated on the face of the receipt will enable the owner to know the value of his cotton and enbale him to market it intellcgcntly. The proper development of the warehouse will make possible the practice of marketing the cotton crop through the warehouse, and thus avoid the enormous losses resulting from weather damage. | The striking policemen in Boston. 1 having been advised by Samuel Gompers to do so, have signified their willingness to return to their jobs. The police commissioner, however, refuses to reinstate them. The Supreme Court w'll be appealed to by the American Federation of Labor in an effort to compel the City of Boston to place the strikers in their former positions. Meantime new policemen nre being trained ami put on the force.
