Will order seed and sell them to farmiers at actual cost, and if any one wishes to put ini tny the clovers the department will sup *ly a limited amount of inocula onixr freo of cost, which is absolute -Yli ocessary if you have never grown legumes before. This year has been a very suc -essful year for crimson clover and now is the time to be getting seed .andl have it put in about September 1sat. The late sown clover will not do as well as early flown. Stairt now and have n nice clover patch for - next y'ear. -All the money you lend Unlo Sarr w .hen you buy W. S. S. is spent or things for our soldiers. Red Spiderin Mica Section -Messrs. J. I. Williams and J. T. Finlay of the Mica section were busi ness visitors at the county seat Satur day. They say the red spider has done considerable damage to cotton in their section. Mr. Finlay seems to be the chief loser by this pest. County Agent Bowen was in that section recently and estimated Mr. Finlay would have made twenty bales of cotton but for the spider which has cut his crop to three bales. Others in this section have also suffered. Mr. Finlay says the pest which has destroyed his cotton is ditierent from the red spider which has been in this county heretofore and that t'lemson College nor any one else seems to be able to understand it, but they still call it red spider. Liberty Boy Killed Guy Powell, whose parents live near Liberty, was killed Monday at Brandon mill in Greenville when a heavy timber fell upon him from a height of several feet, crushing his skull. The young man was about eighteen years old and working as a carpenter's helper. County Campaign Meetings All meetings scheduled to begin at 11 o'clock in the morning. Central-Thursday, August 15.

Revival at Ambler DIau EDIToR:-lPease allow me a few words in the columns of your good pa per to speak a few words in regard to our Sunday school and revival at Am bler school house. Something like three years ago a live Sunday school was organized at this place. Recently we began a prayer meeting and as interest around this hal lowed spot kept increasing from time to time the brethren began contemplat ing the possible need of a protracted service, which finally led to a perma nent decision to invite Rev. A. M. Sim mons to conduct it, and thru the inspir ing messages and untiring efforts of this wonderful spirited man of God there has been an outpouring of the Holy Spirit which will be remembered thru the ages. The woodland round about sounded with the cries of the unsaved and shouts of new-born souls. Quite a number of church members of long standing made new and public confession, Mr. Simmons forcefully impressed upon the people the need of a new birth in Christ and the horror of depending upon a church salvation. We praise God for this good meeting and may the angels of love and mercy ever hover along the pathway of Rev. A. n. Simmons. IN. PRESNT. A FEW DOTS FROM PICKENS ROUTE 5. Mr. S.
