THE IRISH PROBLEM The sympathy of the American people goes out to the people of Ireland just as any normal person sympathizes with another who is in trouble. But this Irish question, like almost every other question, has two sides to it?the English side and the Irish side. In an able editorial Hamilton Holt, editor of the New York Independent, presents both sides of the problem in a very concise and convincing manner. On the side of England he says that Ireland is an integral part of the British empire and? to expect England to allow Ireland to secede and set up an independent government is not more probable than the United States would allow states of tho Union to withdraw and set up a now government. It is true that England was compelled to permit her American colonies to set up a separate government, but there is this difference. The American colonies were separated from (treat Britain by the Atlantic ocean, while Ireland is one of the isles that form Great Britain. Compared with Ireland today the American nnliinii.< lvm'.. .? With the ocehn separating the two combatants and with the determined resolution of the American colonies, Great Britain had no choice but to let her American revolutionists depart in peace. Mr. Holt emphasizes the fact that England is to blame for the temporizing policy that she has pursued toward Ireland, lie says: "He** policy of never settling a tiling right, once for all, but always compromising, has got her into her present predicaments." A solution of the troihl* from an American, o- at least, a Bouth Carolina stand p?inf, is to gi\e Inland home rule, the isle to remain a part of the British empire. England can af ford to be liberal with Ireland, allowing her participation in the all'airs ol' the British empire in proporton to her populaton. Th/jrt? hnuo ? ? w ~ uuvtii ovflllU Wl'OllgS Oil both sides, as usual in such cases. The suicide of MacSwiney, Mayor of Cork, by starvation, (his self imposed starvation v.-as spectacular suicide) did not help the Irish cause, rather injured it. There ought to be statesmanship enough among the English and Irish leaders to bring order out of the chaos, order that will bring peace and prosperity to both England and Ireland. PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS Several prisoners were pardoned out of the Atlanta Federal prison by President Wilson on Christmas day, but Eugene Debs was not one of them. Clarence Brown, a big Indian Chief, who had served thirteen years, walked out wearing an overcoat and a broad smile, as he said good bye to the 1,200 prisoners left behind.

ON MARKETING HOGS Suggestion* for Growers in South Carolina. Clemson College, January 11.? Marketing: hogs by co-operative shipment has had a continued and steady errowth, demonstrating: the fact that it is the most practical and profitable method of disposing: of surplus swine. Thousands of cars of hogs have been shipped from various Southern states >y the co-operative method, which has given satisfaction to both buyer and shipper, says L. H. Lewis, Extension agent in marketing:, who has recently prepared Information Card No. 14, entitled "Marketing South Carolina Hogs." This publication, now ready for distribution, gives general suggestions about co-operative shipments md tables showing the number of hogs per car, methods of marking or clipping hogs for shipment," and grades used in selling hogs. Any farmer who has less than a ar of hogs, says Mr. Lewis, will find t necessary to cooperate with other 'armors, since a carload requires from hogs weighing 300 pounds each to ' 15 hogs weighing around 100 paunds each. There are two methods of marketing lot s co-operatively, namely marking >r clipping and grading. By a simple ystem of marks or clips on the shoulders and other parts it is easy to dis unguisn tnogs d1 the several cooper. ting shippers. The hogs so marked < sold in groups at the stock yards or packing houses and each farmer receives payment covering: his individual group. A BIG OPPORTUNITY The farmers of South Carolina, as veil : tile town people, now* have an xcellent chance to reduce the losses they have sustained the past year, to beat the High Cost of Living, and at the same time to take out an insurance policy on health not only for the head of the family but for every . lember of the family. And what will it cost to take advantage of this opportunity? The cost depends on the way you look at the proposition. To many the cost will be the pleasure they get out of it, hut to others it will he hard labor. This Opportunity is a Spring GarIon, says A. M. Musscr, assistant Extension Service horticulturist More than enough vegetables for the whole fa'*, ily can be raised at the expense of i few hours' labor a week, and there will l?e the advantage of having fresh l isp vegetables for the table instead of stale half-dried vegetables which vou often buy at the local stores. While cost of production in every line is much higher than 1914, the cost of producing a garden is as cheap is it was in 1911. Sunshine and rain cost nothing. It takes hut little ferili/.er, and the time it takes to cultivate a family garden is manv times smaller than the time thc, average man idles away in a year. If your income has been increased, i spring garden will help save that increase, and if your income has not been increased, there is all the more reason for planting a garden. In nearly every community in South Carolina there are men who always grow their own vegetables. These nen are not worrying much about the price of cotton, for they are in a poition to hold their cotton until prices get better and at the same time have alenty to eat at small cost. February is the time to start your -pring gulden. Make plans now and order seeds from a reliable dealer. \ good garden will enable you to tide >\er ha id limes that would be much harder if you had to pay cash for everything you get. MOTHER_GAVE IT Virginia f.ady Suffered With Aches sllI Pains Until Mother Began ?> If living Her Cardui. Dublin, Va.?Miss Mary Alice Hughett residing on Route 2, near here, recently told a visitor of her interesting experience with Cardui. Miss IJiighett said: "I had been suffering for some time v/ith painful . . . I was pale, didn't feel like going. Would jest drag around, and couldn't rest to do any good. I would suffer onco a month with my back, sides and head. My limbs would ache and I didn't know what to do, but I knew I must do something, for I didn't get well by letting it run on. "My mother is a believer in Cardui, for she saw what it did for others as well as herself, so sho began giving It to me. "It wasn't long before I saw a change. It was just what I needed. It regulated me. I began to eat and sleep, and the pain stopped. "Cardui Is without doubt the best female tonic made, nnd I am glad 1 ce.n recommend it. to others."

EAST RELIEF Columbia Jan. 10.?Calling attention to a statement issued by President Wilson in which he said that at least a millon people in the Near East will be in imminent danger of starvation unless aid is sent them by America. E. O Black, treasurer for South Carolina, of the Near East relief, yesterday issued another appeal to the people of the statc to contribute to this fund. The full text of the statement issued by President Wilson was given out by Mr. Black as follows: "None of our allies in the great war suffered more severely in proportion to their number than did the Armenians, Assyrians and other peoples of the Near East, who fought so bravely with us and for us. During the last few years these peoples have suffered untold hardships ships and losses, and now, at the beginning of winter, when it was hoped these burdens would be lightened, another great disaster has overtaken them. Through the activities of their enemies on all sides, Turkish Nationalists, Kurds and Bolshevists, the Armenian republic has been overrun and j thousands of people who had begun to I rehabilitate themselves have been driven from their homes. Recent cables state that the roads to Batum ai'e jammed with refugees, women and children, shoeless and without food. Large numbers of refugees are also appearing at '1 iHies, Aleppo and other centers in the Near EUst. At least 1,000,000 people will be in imminent danger of starvation unless aid is again sent them. "Relief work in this section of the world is entirely under the direction jof Near East Relief, incorporated by congress. Since this organization was formed it has raised and disbursed with great economy and efficiency more than $51,000,000 in cash. It has commissioned more than 1,000 workers, ol' whom more than 500 are now in the Near Ea.vt, administering 229 orphanages, G;i hospitals, 11 rescue homes and numerous enterprises, in addition to an enormous relief work. A nation has been saved at least, 1,000,000 persons are alive today who would have perished but for the generosity of Americans. "The 110,000 orphans who are now being cared for by Near East Relief and wholly dependent on itfor all the necessities of life will furnish the fuure leadership of the Near East. We dare not let them perish now." START THAT GARDEN Clemson College, Jan. 11.?It is not too late to sow cabbage seed in the hot bed. Plants started now, if well grown, will be large enough to be transplanted to the open lield in about eight weeks. Charleston Wakefiend and Succession are two standard varieties. Now is a good tinie to sow the smooth-seeded type of garden peas. , Seed should be sown 2 to 3 inches deep in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. A greater distance between the rows will be necessary if garden is cultivated with a horse. Barnyard or stable manure is the best garden fertilizer. It furnishes plant-food as well as humus. When applied at the rate of 20 to 30 tons per acre, little commercial fertilizer will be necessary. Well-rotted manure may be applied after plowing, but it should be thoroughly incorporated with the soil by discing. Unfermcnted or fresh manure should be applied several months in advance of planting. Plan to grow a few of the newer .egv.tables this season and those that are not commonly found in the home garden. Vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, salsify, endive and Swiss . chard are easily grown and will greatly augment the family diet. Many farmers are pooling their into re ts and purchasing fertilizers toj ;.;i tiler in carload lots. Have you w. m~nt i jivi\ i%iiiun i Attorney-at-Law Office in Courthouse Chesterfield, S. C. DR. J.
