Entered as second-class matter at the postofflce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. , THE UNHAPPY ISLE It is not an easy task to write intelligently of the Irish situation, owing to constant changes taking place Wit W A r* -? t/v tL? ?, " ivivicuvr iu me uf^uiuuiuus Di4tween Great Britain and Ireland. For a time it was thought thai there could be no possible agreement upon terms, as there was a spirit of uncompromising hostility upon th<V?art of Ireland, which Great Britain met with almost equal hardness. Then came a period of less warlike at titude by each of the warring par ties. Then the British proposals came that met the Irishmen at least half way. The offer was really more lenient to Ireland than might have b?en expected and the hope of th" friends of both parties was that at hot a wise solution of the difficult conditions had been fo nd. Lloyd George stated truly that the British proposials "presented to the Irish people an opportunity such as never dawned in their history before." That the British otter is a wise and liberal one may be inferred from his statement of its main proposal. It guarantees to Ireland the control of its own finances and taxation; the right to maintain its own military nnd police forces for its own defense and protection-.absolute independent jurisdiction over its trade, postal and edu cational systems?everything, in fact, except absolute national independence, the granting of which according to the British standpoint jenpar dize the sovereignty and safety of both parties to the proposed agree men i. Ireland, or its ieauers, woulii incur a terrible responsibility by rejecting these offers and 'would invito a return to the horrible conditions of the past year and possibly lead to civil war between north and south Ireland?with no possible hope of the nationalists achieving anything like the liberal terms now offered as a basis of peace." It is to be feared however, tha* the agitators and self elected leaders tnay ctu-e the re'ection of the well ; meant offers of Great Britain and that will lead to stern measures upon the part of England and to re'.alia turn by Ireland that will bring forth anarchy and bloodshed in the unhappy isle. The Irish cherish the memory of Robert Kmmett and are very suspicious of those who have in Irish opinion been serene ruler? and task masters. One trouble that may prevent permanent peace between the two countries is thai there is division amonp the Irish themselves. Could they pre sent a united front to Great Britain hut with a Home Rule Party and ar Anti-Home Rule contingent the tasli of bringing about an agreement becomes more difficult. As here stated the memory of Robert Kmmett and his efforts to free Ireland are imbedded in the memory anil hearts of the Irish nonnln one will make the attempt to compromise differences very difficult. In his speech just before he wa: executed for leading an unsuccessful rising in Dublin he uttered the wordf that are cherished by the Irish nation and are familiar to schools boyf of America the closing of his d"fensc being in these sad sentences: "1 have but one request to ask ai my departure from this world. Lei no man write my epitaph; for as nc man who knows my motives dare now indicate them let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them and me re nose in nbsenritv un.l ?*.->*? r... o?.i rny tomb remain uninr.cribed until other times and other men can do justice to my character. When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth th -n and not till then let mv epitaph be written." At this writing it does not ipptar that Emmett's hope is nearer realization than when his life wont out on the gallows. GERMANY GOES TO WORK The news comes from Cermnny that the country is getting down to busness. That work and .nore work is the order and all Germany turning from war is becoming vitally interested in the arts of peace. A allegation of business men who have returned recently from Germany report that '"the German people are better clothed, better shod and more plenteously fed than many of th" allied peoples," and that between Cologne and Leipsig "not an inch of "oi1 re mains uncultivated not a single sign of war was to be afeen, but only an industrious and apparently prosperju.j people." The huge debt they owe to the Allies does not seem to have disheartened the German people, but with \ipor and industry they are work'np to secure prosperity for themselves a* well as to pay the war indemnity. In the meantime ex-Kaiser Bill is awing wood and not saying enyihirt'g lor publication. ] THEY WERE UP IN THE AIR I A life insurance agent of Chicago ! went up in an airplane with a crowd of high flyers. As the plane was narrowly grazing the tops of soim sky scrapers cold chills ran down the spines of the passengers. A happy in spiration came to the insurance agent. He yelled to the crowd, "How about Some insurance, gentlemen?" It is said he came down with a pocket full of policies. j If a man comes to you for advice tel him what he wants to hear and he will ike you.

EPIGRAMS Vice Presirent Cooledge says: Large profits mean large payrolls. Self-government means self-support. Laws do not make reforms. Reforms make laws. The classic of all classics is the Bible. Industry cannot flourish if labor languish. Men do not make laws. '1 hey do 'out discover them. Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary ;s the multiplication table. Works which endure come from he soul of the people. Transportation cannot prosper if nanufacturers decline. Good government cannot he found .?n the bargain counter. Employment cnn be had only if someone finds it profitable. There wil come out of government exactly what we put into it. Superstition and sham cannot stand before intelligence and reality. The hope of tomorrow lies in the development of the industries of today. 1 he suspension 01 one man s dividends is the suspension of another nan's pay envelope.

"They don't want me to play with 'em," he replied bitterly. * "Are you sure of that?" he was asked. He nodded his head despairingly.

Bathing in a bathtub as late as 842 was condemned as a corrupting uxury and denounced by the medical 'raternity. Air brakes were installed'on trains >nly after the inventor had been sailed a "lunatic" when,he first suggested the plan to a railroad pr client. Wililam Harvey who discovered the circulation of blood fenjoyed a i f lucrative practice before he apnounc ed his discovery' bat thereafter he was called "crack-brained" and his practice fell off. The Royal Society of England did not consider Benjamin Franklin's account of his experiments In *dlectrlcity of sufficient importance to bo printed in the Society's transactions. . Luigi Galvani who experimented on frogs and discovered galvanic electricity was thought to be crasy. Daguerre inventor of the daguerreotype was put in an asylum for saying he could transfer the likeness of human beings to a "tin plate." The Bavagsn Royal College of Physicians claimed ' that railroads would ruin the health of the people' because the rapid motion would give travelers brain disease. Professor Lovering of Harvard demonstrated matheihatlcally the imnossihilitv nf tele<rranVtino? SrtOft milnx under the ocean and several scientists also "proved" that the long range gun was an' impossibility at the very time Paris was being bombarded. Nupoleon refused to consider Fulton's steamboat and later when the first statement did cross the ocean was a result of Fulton's invention it carried aboard an essay proving the impossibility of the undertaking. Printers broke the windows of the first plants that installed .Linotype machines. The introduction of the spinning jenny, the power loom, and other textile machinery in England caused nation-wide riots. Farmers built barricades to obstruct automobiles. Iron ships were derided for a quarter-century after they came into use. Go easy challenging a new idea, nvention, or discovery. Fifty years from now our children will be erectng monuments to the "craay" men of today. 40 ' THE BOLL WEEVIL AND HIS WINTER-QUARTERS The cotton boll weevil finds his hof.el for the winter in old stallcs. weeds nd dead jcrass in the field. He will inri Qnipnnin urjIttnv.nno ;ept terraces, weedy ditch banks and ences, in neglected orchards, in ur.lerbrush along the woods and roadides, etc. ^ ,, The weevil requires for successful vintering a place with a given imount of moisture, failing ir. such daces where moisture is heavy. I herefore the cover crop that is used or preventing land washing and the eaching of soil fertility and nil naintaining soil texture is of the rreatebt value under weevil condiions, because it acts as a cleansing rop which keep* down weeds and vrinter food plants and destroys proective coverings for the weevil and ither destructive insects during the vinter. :> It is time for farmers to think . uoui inese matters and not let this vork go until the last moment, abuses Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomolo- ; rist who says that we want to clean ip our farms this fall as we have lever done before. These wintering * daces mentioned must not be perrutted; they must be removed or leatroyed by oen method or another, iumus is our greatest deficiency in arming and for that reason vegoable matter should be properly inorporated in the soil whenever posible, but there are a great many ases where this can not be done; nd yet should weeds, dead grass, tc? remain through the winter they /ould form successful wintering 1- J '?? ? imceu ior we Don weevil.
