NEWS IN GENERAL
The charge tkat "the dye monop
ly, headed by the Chemical Foundation
Company" has sought to influv
ence three members of President
Harding's cabinet in an effort to perpetuate
its "present exclusive power
in this country/' is made by Representative
Frear, Republican of Wis.
consin, in a letter to Chairman Pen\
rose, of the Senate committee considering
the tariff bill.
Miss Loube Parks Sloan, of Statesville,
C., 21 years and Marion
Avant, Wilmington, 2-1 years, lost
their lives in the suff at Wrightsville
Reach Sunday shortly after S o clock,
having , boen . drawn beyond their
depths. Both... bodits were recovered.

ka, of the San Francisco and Portland
Steamship Company, southbound,
from Portland, Oregon, to San
Francisco, sank thirty minutes after
crashing into the rocks at Blunt'o
Reef, forty miles south of Eureka.
Self-defense is the claim of C. E.
Lively, Baldwin-Felts detective, held
under bond in connection with the
shooting and killing of Sid Hatfield
and Ed. Chambers, Mingo mountaineers,
in a statement to newspaper
men. "I regret having had to shoot
either one of these men," Lively said,
"but it is a case of self-defense pure
and simple,"
Presbyterians, particularly and
other denominations generally, will
be interested in the fact that South
Carolina stands fourth in membership
in the Southern Presbyterian Church
in the fifteen states comprising that
organization and is outranked by
North Carolina. Virginia and Texas.
Probably no synod is better organized.
This and other interesting facts
are available in the minutes of the
meeting of the General Assembly
held recently in St. Louis.
All Russian news sources, Bolshevik
and anti-Bolshevik alike, paint a
dismal picture of Russia's economic
condition this summer. Soviet newspapers
themselves admit that the
famine which threatens the country
may be even worse than in preceding
jrears of the Bolshevik regime. On
th? other band, the Bolshevik govern
ment contends that, notwithstanding
th? great dHRcuiies attending the
charge of Leninfe'a policies during
what it terms as the present period
of transition from civil war to peace.
Russia is slowly, yet steadily advancing
on the road to restitution of her
economic life. ^

There has been bad blood betwe^r
Lowery and tho Meltons for iome

Lowery is said to have beaten the
father of the Melton boys not Ion;

Lowery struck J. B. with an a;
handle. At this point R. E. Meltor
entered tho fray and was shot a1

TIME TO CLEAN UP
THE PEACH ORCHARE
The peach grower who wishes t<
raise a crop of unblemished peachet
next year should not neglect a cartful
cleaning up of the orchard thii
year. Brown rot, our most serious dis
ease, and black spot, which is als<
serious in some places af* carrfttt
over the winter on infected refus*
and especially on cankered twigs. I
is not to be expected that these trou
blea can be controlled if infecting mi
terial is allowed to remain in the
field until next^season.
As soon as the crop is picked ii
not too soon to clean up and destroy
the diseased and cull peaches and t<
trim and destroy all dead and diseas
cd twigs .suggests Dr. C. A. Ludwig
associate plant pathologist. If it it
put off until later, much infected ma
kerial will have escaped and many o:
the weakened twigs will have beei
attacked and damaged by pin holt
borers, so that in the long run mor
.vork will' be required than the e*
tra attention would take.

HOW THE SPREAD
, OF PELLAGRA MAY
BE PREVENTEI
While it has been proven that ther
is no danger of an epidemc of pe!
, lagra in (he South, still the advice o
. Dr. McCallum, of Johns Hopkins, i
) timely because of the new interes
I aroused in this disease.
. ' "It seems almost certain that pe
t legra is a contagious disease, but tha
. faulty diet is the chief predisposin
j cause. The well fed do not have il
, Those who live during the winte
months on a food supply limited et
. sentially to bolted wheat tlour, degei
r minatd corn meal, polished ric<
j starch, sugar, molasses and fat pqrl
. and take little or no milk or leaf
vegetables, furnish the victims o
s this dreaded disease in the sprin
. when their vitality is low. Such a die
f seems to make them susceptible t
infection,
P Of the three diseases, caused froi
e improper diet, beri-beri, scurvy, an
. pellegra, pellegra is the one foun
most prevalent in the S?Uth. Th
cause of pellegra has been attribute
to many things, first the spoiled maiz
theory, the bad hygiene and poor sev
erage disposal theory, the infection
theory, and the faulty diett heory. C
these theories, the faulty diet, due t
lack of growth promoing substance
seems to be the most possible i
keeping with what Dr. McCollum hi
said.
Dr. Golriberger, who has done sue
an extended amount of experimen
ing with pellegra patient says,
is caused by eating a faulty or unba
anced diet and that people who coi
sume a mixed, well balanced and var
ed diet, such, for example, as thi
furnished to our soldiers and sailoi
do not have the disease. In oth<
words, if all persons provided ther
selves, and ate a well selected ar
properly varied diet there would 1
pllegra. It is very important to reali;
that having good food on the fami!
table is of itself not enough to kec
one from having pellegra. There mi
be plenty of milk or eg^cs or mea
but if you don't eat them, or ity<
just pick at them and prefer to rl^
as the convicts in the experimen
lived, mainly on cereals, starcl
foods, and sweets, the milk and eg|
will do you no good, and 'f your pe
sist long enough pellagra may r
suit."
Th^ saying, "An ounce of preve
tion is worth a pound of cure' ce
tainly holds true in this case. Whet
er we are in danger of contractu
pellegra or any other disease, it
the safe plan to guard our food sele
tion carefully. See that each daj
diet contains a liberal supply of sor
one of each of the following food
Milk, eggs, some meat, generous hel
ings of green vegetables (green,s tu
nips, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, c<
lards, string beans) ai

ONCE MORE CHI
VOTES FO
iFor
the second time within fou
y months Chesterfield has declared b;
o an overwhelming majority in favor o:
il waterworks and sewerage.
: At the election held on Tuesday
0 August 9th the vote -was 89 to 48
's lacking or.ly seven votes of beinj,
8 two to one. This seven would prob
ably have been attained had not som<
f voters neglected, their registration.
s The first election on this questior
e was held April the 5th when the vot?
y x
. was 96 to 43, two to one and ten tc
jj spare. The following week on April
the 12th an election for town off.cials
d was held, in which waterworks figuri
ed as an issue. This vote was 98 tc
e 56 in favor of officials known to favoi
n carrying out the wishes of the peois
pie as expressed at the nnlla tKo nr-a.
f ceding week. Thus about the full
k voting strength of both sides seems to
have been registered in the municipal
k election.
There is no indication that at any
time have any considerable number
of voters changed their views on the
subject. This bears out the assertion
of The Advertiser early in the spring
} that in all communities there is a
natural line of clearvage between

r no amount of argument will change
^ that situation, and fortunate is the
^ small town that has a large number
of progressives.
This election was marked by an in,
teresting campaign in which advertis,
ing space was used to appeal to the
r voters. On Monday evening before
the election an anonymous circular
appeared on the streets attacking the
i editor of The Advtrtiser, charging
gross misrepresentation of Incts in
i his editorial of the week before. To
, this, of course, The Advertiser re(
plied the following morning, eltction ,
day proving all figures were safely
' conservative, And thus the voters
? went to the polls, not influenced in
our opinion, by either circular, but

as to whether or not waterworks is
a necessity or a luxury.
A very large majority consider it a

BIG THING FOR THE STATE
All Columbia, as well as South
Carolina at large, will wc'comi the
| news that the federal government
has issued a permit for the construction
of the Cooper and Santee rivers
1 canal. The permit covers only navigation
matters, but this devtlopment, as
a result of a drop of 30 feet in the
river will insure a great water pow*
er. This .accounts for the advocates

with Greenwood. Once such a connection
is made the capital c:ty will
be in electric touch with Greenwood,
Greenville, Spartanburg a.-.d way
stations.
' Our fellow citizen, G. A. Gu'raid
2
and other Columbians who are nack
b of the canal program, declare that its
establishment will be of untold benefit
in making South Carolina a vichei
and more attractive commonwealth,
i We think so, too. In addition to the
j I freight rate values that the canal
would insure for this city and for
al communities of the State, the !arge
amount of extra power generated and
the probable linking of Columbia with
Upper Carolina by eleetri? line, the
^ canal will drain thousands of acres of
fertile soil not now usable.
The canal will run from l-'erguson
on the Santee to Monck's Corner cn
the Cooper, these points being the approximate
ends. Plans submiterf to
the government call for a canal ten |
j feet deep and 200 feet wide. It is to
be 20 miles long.
. Mr. Guignard, president of the Columbia
Railway & Navigation Company,
which will build the canal, says
.hat work cn> the project will b; start*
d as soon as practicable. It wi'l take
^ considerable time to complete the job.
From every angle such a statement
* is good pews to South Carolir.a. The
' fact that work will begin at once on

circles, assuring all men who arj able

BETTER SOILS NEEDED
FOR ECONOMICAL
CROP PRODUCTIOJ
"The man who now farms i
piece of poor dirt for ten years o
longer and leaves it in no bette;
conditioni to produce crops than i
was when he found it, is not livinj
up to his possibilities as a citizen ohis
community and state, as a fathei
to his children, or as a Christian be
fore his God." So says N. E. Winters
Extension Service agronomist ir
preaching the doctrine of soil fertili
ty and crop production.
The pioneer farmers of a century
or more ago, Mr. Winters explains
could hardly be blamed for theii
system of farming which graduallj
depleted the then fertile soils. The
power of those soils to produce large
and profitable crops made possible the
construction of roads, the building
of cities lyid railways and the development
of a great civilization with
the modern conveniences of living
which we in this generation are enjoying;
but in the light now before

and scientific investigation and the
results of our best practical farmers

'here is no excuse for us to continue
ndefintely the practice of farming on
poor, depleted soils.
We have a wonderful opportunity
here in South Carolina for soil building
and more economical crop production.
Nitrogen and humus are
the limiting materials in our soils
for crop production, and we have
been trying to supply too much of
this needed nitrogen in expensive
nitrogen fertilizers. Too much money
has been going for nitrogen fertilizers
in proportion ot the value of
our staple field crops, and too little
attention' has been given to summer
and winter legumes for pasture and
for plowing under to build up the
nitrogen and the humus supply in
the soil. The valuable humus which
is the foundation of soil fertility,
holds and supplies 95 per cent, of the
available nitrogen in a well managed
soil.
A soil rich in humus and lime is
always rich in nitrogen, and without
any exception is a productive soil.
Hence legumes for green manuring,
lime and mineral will, if rightfully
used, improve our poor soils from
year to year and give us the maximum
crops at a minimum cost.
