The hauling beg m so late that it is hardly possible for the consumption to be as large as for 1914. Reports oome in from practically every section to the effect that grain is small and off in color, being due doubtless to the heavy rains and the late spring. However there is yet time enough to make a good crop if conditions are favorable hereaf ter. Mr. Leslie S. Keruagban and his bride retarned from their wedding journey of two weeks, during which time they visited Washington, Phil adelphia, New York and other northern citied. They took atrip up the Hudson river as far as Poughkeepsie, visiting the business college of that city, which is the foremost institution of the kind in the country. Mr. Kernaghan is a graduate of this college. The cantata, "A Saloonless Na tion in 1920," bas been postponed until Friday night May 14. This is a good time to begin the spring cleaning of the old town. Mayor Corley keeps the public square and the streets free of all waste and refuse matter. Now let the home owners look after their premises. Mr. J. G. Byrd, the public cotton weigher, has up to this time weigh ed about 7,000 bales, while for the entire season last year he only weighed G,500. Mr. Byrd estimates that 1,000 baies more will be weighed on the Edgefield market. Mi. H. W. Quartos of the Red Hill section was in town Monday and brought along a large number of cana of delicious - desert peaches which he readily sold. In addition to peaches, Mr. Quarles canned a large quantity of vegetables. He practices living at home. Why is it that robins are not slaughtered now ai they were sev eral years ago? Probably it is due to the more stringent game laws and the possibility of the game warden swooping down on the slay er. Al any rate we are glad to see that robins are not molested as for merly in this section. A welcome service for the new pastor, Dr. E. Pendleton Jones, will be held at the Baptist church Sunday night. A welcome will be extended from all the churches in town, Rev. J. R. Walker present ing the Methodist church, Rev. R. G.

(Continued From First Page.) dred yards from where the camp was situated. He has about fifty dogs which he keeps mainly for pleasure. The race was very short, for the fox ran about five hundred yards, and jumped up a tree, where he was caught and put up again un til the next morning, then turned loose for another race, This time the dosrs caught and killed him. At |three in the afternoon we had to give the people of the town an other dress parade. The streets were crowded again and it was a hard matter for us to go through manual of arms, when so many girls were there watching us. After being marched back to camp, and released many of the cadets attended and enjoyed another dance that was giv en for[their benefit that night. Those that did not attend the dance stayed around town and enjoyed the mov ies. Friday morning we broke camp. We had to take the tents down and fold them up, then get our blanket relis and accoutrements ready for the return march. Having gotten everything ready to return, we were released until 1 p. m. At one we as sembled, put our blanket rolls on our shoulders and our accoutre ments on. At 1:15 the bugle sound ed for forward march. All then marched to the depot, put our ac coutrements on the cars, then at tended the ball game. Clemson played against Furraan, aud of course came ont with the victory. At 5:30 we assembled at the depot, and the first sergeauts called the roll, t hen we boarded f.he train bound for good old Clemson once more. Every one kept his eyed on the town that he had had such a royal time in for the past four days until it vanished from his sight. We soon reached Cherrys, and after a few minutes march we reached barracks again. Although every one of us had a sumptuous time I think every one warmly welcomed his old room once more. In conclusion I must *ay that the conduct of the cadets was excellent, and every one conducted himself in as gentlemanly manner as possible. W. D. Ouzts, Jr. Clemson College, S. C. The Crusade of the Women of Johnston Against the Saloon in 1881. The spring of that year was a sad gloomy time for our little town. Whiskey and drunkenness were everywhere, also card playing*and gambling of all kinds. Of the ten or twelve stores that were here, six or seven were bar-rooms. Ladies and children were almost afraid to go on the streets especially on Sat urday afternoons. The municipal election was soon to be held and so much were the men under the con trol of fear of the saloon-keepers that while some were for prohibi tion it was hard to find a man who was willing to allow his name to be seen on the prohibition ticket. Mr. W. J. Haiett was interviewed. At first he refused, but when the wo men of the town sent a petition beg ging him to accept the nomination he did accept, and it was then that the call came for the women to work for the election of Mr. W. J. Hniett. A day was appointed, and al though we had a small nnion that had been organized by oar beloved Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin, South Caro lina's first president of the W. C. T. TJ. we wished to have the co operation of the women of the town in a body. Mr. Handley, then pastor of the Baptist church, with two girls, went to all the homes, inviting the mothers, daugh ters and sisters to meet at the Methodist church that afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. At the appointed hoar the church was filled with the women of Johnston. Mr. VV. L. Rogers, the pastor of the Methodist church hieing the only roan present opened the meeting with such a prayer for wisdom and guidance in this undertaking that I believed all were aroused to en tbuei a?m on the subject. The local president of the W. C. T. U. was present, but not feeling quite fit that afternoon, the Corresponding Secretary was asked to take the chair and call the meet ing to order and state the object of the meeting. After hearing the ob ject for which we were here, som were afraid their husbands might object and hesitated to join us, bat we having convinced them that we must all go together soon they, consented. We formed into a pro cession of two and two, the wife of the pastor heading the line with another lady. I expect we looked quite formidable, but I assure you we did not feel so. A band of weak, timid nervous women, doing some thins: certainly out of our line of work, but were strengthened by the thought, that it was for "home and loved ones. As we neared the worst saloon, those in front halted, but only for a moment; a dear old country woman, who had never be fore thought she could^speak a word in public, came forward and telling us she was not afraid, she was the first to press the green screen and enter the door. The keeper, although under the influ ence of whiskey at the time came forward and as politely as he could, asked oar business. We told him how and what we wished him to do, and although he would make nq promises., he afterward said, had we talked much longer he woul(J have brocen down and cried. To the honor of the saloon let it be said, though we met many black looks, we were not insulted, only one telling ns "we had better be at horne at .vork." Thus we sowed the seed, and a pro hibition law for our town was the harvest. j After that several men who had been active in the movement were threatened by having a bundle of lightwood splinters and matches tied to the door knobs, but nothiug came of it. -E.
