Mo armored castle there to ward, ftis precious life from danger, But, wrapped in common cloth our Lord Lay in a lowly manger. No booming bells proclaimed His birth, No armies marshalled by, A'o iron thunders shook the earth, No rockets cloud the sky; The temples builded in His name Were shapeless granite then, And all the choirs that sung His fame Were later breeds of men. Hut while the world about Him slept, Nor cared that He was born, One gentle face above Him kept Its. mother watch till morn; And if His baby eyes;" could tell No roar of gun, no boom of bell Were worth the look of her.' Now praise to God that ere His grace Was scorned and He revealed He looked into Hip mother's face A little helpless child; And praise to God that ere men strove' ? \bout His tomb in war One loved Hinfl with a mother's Jove Nor knew a creed therefore." The U. D. C. Convention li was our privilege and pleasure jo attend the Convention of the South Carolina Division U. D. C., in Char leston last week. We have always considered an invitation to Charles ion a passport to everything delight ful as the warmth and charm of its hospitality is proverbial and on this occasion it sustained and perhaps excelled its deservedly popular repu tation. The old city is always inter esting because each public or private building has a history of its own and about no place in this country has a greater mass of historical tradition collected. The convention had its headquarters and the delegates were, delightfully entertained at Fort Sum ter Hotel on the battery. Luncheons and receptions were given by the Colonial Dames, the Daughters of thfc American Revolution, the Ch^Hfestori Chapter United Daughters ro$ *th? Confederacy, the; Charleston Art As sociation and others. We also went to Jame^ Island to attend the un veiling ceremonies of a monument on the battlefield of Secessionville. This was one of the decisive battles of, the War Between the States. It was fought June 16, 1862 ended tlte fcHM paign and saved Charlestorvto the Confederacy.. Colonel Armstrong made the splendid address at the un veiling and the Washington Light Infantry and Sumter Guards; 1 tWo military companies retaining??> the names of the companies that' were in the battle, participated in the cere monies.

The turkeys were shipped in regular live poultry car and were bought by Clarence C. Lee, of Pittsburg, Pa. The car con tained slightly under ten thousand pounds of turkeys and a few ch'ck ens that were brought in by the far mers, The net returns on these to the farmers of Lancaster county was over $2,200. The farmers were paid for their turkeys at the car when delivered. The turkey crop in Lancaster county was very large this year and many farmers have tried in vain to find a market for their fowls. Tho surplus was sd great and the market so hard Jto find that,this co-operative shipments in carlot is the result. The farmers booked their surplus with the county agent and he secured a buyer and tho turkeys were loaded. This enabled many farmers to find a ready market who otherwise would have had to keep thoir turkeys over this winter. The largest lot of tur keys brought - in by one farmer was 05 by R. F. Long, of Kershaw. Following is a report on the car lot shipment of turkeys loaded at Kershaw, Heath Springs and Lan caster: ( Grade lbs.

Lee, Pittburgh, and to his agents, R. K. Lee and J. D. Grindle. These men handled their end of the ear in a most efficient and co-operative way; and even when the farmers who had turkeys pledged and did not bring them in as pledged, acted in a most cordial and apprecia tive manner. V More than 1,200 turkeys were pledged to this car, but? the farmers seemed >to think tbat they might be able to get a better price and did not send in any or only a part of those pledged. Many sold .turkeys after having, been pledged to the car. ?
