As the Literary Digest records they are butchering Christian women in () the open fields and standing children t in rows to see how many little heads j; the bullet will go through before its j. force is spent. Says another paper:"All the Chris- ^ tian minorities in the land where St. ^ Paul planted his little chuches are being exterminated." I Henry Morganthau, a Jew and j former Ambassador from America to Turkey, comes to the defence of the Christians who are being so inhuman- . ly treated. Although a Jew, he is hor- ^ rifled at the treatment of Christians _ by the Turks. He asks this question: "Will the Turks be permitted, even ^ encouraged by our cowardice in not striking1 back to continue to treat all <; Christians in their power as unbelieving dogs or will some definite t steps be taken to rescue the remnants . of these old civilized Christian peo- , pies from the fangs of the Turks?" j. Rev. Ralph Harlow, professor in a college at Smyrna says: "With thousands lying dead with torture, starvation and murder at the hands of the Turks, I am sure t that if the facts could be known our government would be forced to take ( some action, action that would be r welcomed by Gyeat Britain, action ? that would assure the people of the ^ Near East of security from the burning of their homes, the outraging of their women and girls, the continu- ,, ance of terror in their lives." j, As intimated in the beginning of this article it is hard to conceive that v the world is growing better with such atrocities as these going on uncheck- u ed by the civilized world. <WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE j Ibanez, the Spaniard who wrote "The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- ? lypse," writes as follows regarding conditions in Europe: "With all its diplomatic confer- 0 ences and meetings for the mainten- 1 ance of peace Europe resembles an c enormous ship striving in spite of its ? broken mast to ride the storm. The ? only thing noticeable in these meet- P ings held by a restless Europe is the 11 fear of war. l' "Yet each representative there P is doing all within his power to brinji war about. Everyone affirms that he ^ desires peace. But each one wants 1 peace on his own terms with special 1 provision for his own convenience. "The nations take their seats at con- ? ference tables in much the same M fashion as do the uncouth of the rid- 1 ers of certain South American des- ? ert lands who sit down to talk and n drink at the tavern table, all the while keeping their revolvers in their a belts, a finder on the holster. SudC denly there is a general flare-up and everyone is firing at everyone else, while no one exactly knows who began the fracas." Ibanez adds: "While Europe prays for peace all I see is war." ti S RAVAGES OF THE BOLL WEEVIL p In a recent speech in the United .j, States Senate, Hon. John Sharpe Wil- ,n Hums, the brilliant Senator from ,)( Mississippi, spoke at length of "The j Cotton Industry and the Ravages of ;n the Boll Weevil.' He quotes this para. r), graph from the Literary Digest: ti "The worst scourge that ever rav- cc aged the South is, in the opinion of sj many newspapers, being taken altogether too calmly by the country at large. When it dawns on us that the price of cotton and all cotton goods is directly affected, they do not believe w we will take it so calmly. Apparently fa we are already feeding half our shirt.to a voracious little beast known as the boll weevil. Last year it destroyed 79 per cent, of the cotton growing in t|( the United States. An Associated Press dipatch from Wahington on i September .1 stated that the De- ' partment of Agriculture for 1921, gives the damage of the boll weevil at 6,277,000 bales of cotton." Refering to the plan of limiting the amount of cotton planted Sentor Williams said: "If every man who made cotton in all the South came up and signed an agreement not to plant one seed for the next year, how many of them do you suppose would keep the agreement? There would be a little smart Aleck in this neighborhood, and another one there, would say, "Nobody is going to raise cotton except me, and it will be worth a dollar and a * half a pound, and even if the boll ntctii fum up nine tenuis 01 11, my other tenth will make me rich.' You can not leave human nature out of the consideration of any great problem. There is your human nature? greedy, selfish; not compact-keeping I either nationally or internationally, or individually; not univeirsally so." iything toward aiding in tha do- * action of the boll weevil, Mr. Wilms said: . * "There is another remedy, and that for the so-called experts, the soiled scientists get to wor'c at the oblem more intelligently than hithto, and if those in office now are inipable of'it, to put somebody in eir places who shall be capable of ' . It is idle to tell me that in the j rentieth century a little bug that I !eds on the cotton can defeat the j vilization and the science and the itelligence of the world. I furtheriore believe that a good result would e accomplished if the Government . ere to offer a large sum of money to eople outside who would invent or iscover methods of killing or even of indering the boll weevil." YORK OF DR. HAYDEN COMMENDED In the forty-second annual report f the State Board of Health we find his reference to the work of Dr. A. I. Hayden, State epidemiologist. Dr. layden will be pleasantly rememberd by many people in this county, he laving practiced medicine in Cheserfield for several years. "Dr. A. H. Hayden is the epidemioogist of the State Board of Health, lis duties are those of 'trouble-shoot'r.' Whenever epidemics occur or omplaints are received, Dr. Hayden mmediately responds, and through lis wise counsel and specialized medial knowledge, is able to prevent the pead of epidemics and to inform ities, towns and individuals of their ights under the public health laws of louth Carolina. A tabulated report as ubmittod by Dr. Hayden will show hat every county and nearly every own in South Carolina has been visied by him in the past year. Through lis efforts smallpox, which at one inie threatened to be a very serious nenace to South Carolina, was supiressed. Dr. Hayden is untiring in his fforts and unswerving in his desire o protect the public health. The State Board of Health is indeed forunate in having secured the services >f a man who has had such great oplortunities for perfecting himself in he prevention and spread of comnunicable diseases. We know of no office connected nth the State Board of Health that s of more importance than that of pidemiologist.- Without such office it vould be impossible for the State loard of Health to do the duty placed ipon it by the laws of the State of louth Carolina." FOR LAW AND ORDER With few exeptions the newspapers f the state point to the election of IcLeod as meaning1 the end of the soalled crime wave which has disturbd the state so seriously for the past aonths. His election, they say, indiates the will of the great majority f the people for a return to law and rder and peaceful pursuits. They oint to Blease's own record o suson would have signified a desire for lie continuance of the old order and oints to Blease's own record to susain the interpretation. At any rate IcLeod waged his campaign as a law nd order candidate and he won by a ubstantial majority. To that extent lie people have revolted against the Id order. The next governor has a ask before him the accomplishment f which will require the cooperation f every citizen of the state. It relains with the people to a large ex?nt to make good their desire for law nd orderj?Florence Daily Times.

V.vxvii 10 Iivv uvuc until )UU IlrtVt' voted also, in the general election. It is probable that both the Democratic and Republican parties will have candidates in the field, and it is very important that every qualified woman in the state should go to the polls and vote for the nominees of her party. The fact that your name is enrolled on the Democratic club books does not entitle you to vote in the general election. In order to exercise that privilege you must be able to show a rcgistraion certificate. The law provides that the registration books be opened on the first Monday in each month at the county court house and be kept open for three consecutive days, but that they shall be closed 30 days prior o the election. Hence it will be seen that only the first Monday in October remains to register for the election on November 7. Let every eligible woman in South Carolina, who has not already secured a registration certificate, go to the court house on Monday, October 2, and qualify to vote in the general election. Annie Gaines Williams, President South Carolina League of Women Voters. Greenwood. Slight Mistake. Jim was very much In love, but held back his proposal from sheer bushfulness. At lust he decided to pop the queslion by* telephone. "Mabel, I love you!" he gasped, his heart thumping. "Will you marry me?" There whs a moment's hesitation before the answer came. Of course I will, Arthur. Why didn't you come and nsk me yourself!" Then Jim shouted back: "You'll hove to break the news to Arthur yourself. I'll be hanged If I Will I" Too Obedient. The devout mother aud her fiveyear-old daughter were seated In church. When the service, began the mother said In an undertone: "Sit on the edge of the pew, dear, and bow your head." The child obeyed and the mother turned her entire attention to the service. The whole congregation was respectfully quiet. Suddenly the little girl's voice echoed through the stillness: "Hold onto me, mamma, I'm slidin' off!" Something to Praise. "You don't seem to think much of my car," said the owner of a dilapidated llivver. "I wouldn't say that," replied the tactful garage man.

Go to the fairs and study them. ^ Another reason for cover crops: S A fertile soil makes much better use | of its rainfall than a poor one. | I Next year's weeds, from this year's seeds are being made now. Its your * fault. a The farmer who exhibits at fairs mUst be busy long before fair time. I8 One of the best forms of life-saving is wife-saving by means of more I kitchen and home conveniences. Make your land comfortable this I winter by wrappiing it up in a blanket of preen and it will make you < comfortable next season by increased production.

If a purebred sire is worth $1500 in three years through increased production of daughters, what is your scrub bull worth? The farmer who fails to plow under cotton stalks in the fall to keep destroy the boll weevil is the kincT of man who "trusts to luck" and is usually unlucky. Recently an Iowa Farm Bureau scrapped its Farm Bureau paper, the directors explaining that "a better way of 'reaching the farmers is through the established weekly newspapers" Righto! NO OPEN SEASON ON WOOD DUCKS The close season on wood ducks, which has been in effect since 1918 under the provisions of the minatory bird treaty act, will continue during the hunting season thiB fall, ac- , cording to the Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States Depart- j ment of Agriculture. These birds may not be killed anywhere in the United j States. The wood duck, or summer duck as it is Qominonly known in many localities, is one of the most j beautiful of native game birds, and breeds practically throughout the United States. Formerly it was j threatened with extinction, but under the protection afforded by the migratory bird treaty act during the j past few years its numbers are now beginning to show an increase. Eider ? ducks and swans are also protectc throughout the year. ?% f% ?% Cur** Malaria, Chills Fever, Bilious Fav?t V v V Colds and LaGrippo. 17 SEED WANTED?Best prices for 1' your cotton seed in wagon or car lots.
