What will we plant another year? is the oft-repeated question. Surely ~)it will not be cotton. A bale of cot ~' ton to five acres on land that made a bale. to the acre last year, will not be far below the average for this community. Some are already planning for sheep, hog and cattle raising, but how is the one-horse man~ going to start in that enterprise, when the bale of cotton that he will probably *have after he picks over the last time Wwill not pay his debts? It takes a lot of wire and posts to fence even a small pasture or two. Cedar aflio post yak are the only wood posts that we can get that will last, and they are very scarce in these parts. Besides, when we fence these hills we bnly have a place for the cattle to lie down- and then, oh, then, where is the money coming from to start a flock of sheep, a drofe of hogs and a herd of cattle? My friends, it appears to me that if we are not .in a devil of a fix, we :are in the hands of the Phillistines e.nd only the pure in heart will be able to survive the great reconstruc tion in agriculture that is being forced upon us by these durned bugs But should we fail to amass a for tun.a from the sale of truck and live stock. history will only be repeating itself, for few have gotten rich rais ing cotton. I confess that some have, but a big per cent, of those will have to squirm mightily to miss hell, for in working share croppers. to use the words of an old negro, NEWS AS CORRESPONDENTS "they take all and then go 'halvers." A few will plant enough cotton to keep seed in the land, so that our posterity in years to come can see the Jtick-o-lantern that their fore fathers followed for sixty years in ap unsuccessful effort to make mo ney. Our children will never know of the rich and varied experiences of their daddies for the past sixty years with ex-slaves and cotton. Some claim that when we turn tur fields to weeds and grass we will, soon have Mollie cotton tails in abundance, but I would not be sur prised if the weevil would tkke to. the cotton tails. Nothing that looks like cotton can escape them. We are sorry to note that Rev. Mr. Sharp is at the hospital in Rock Hill for treatment. Appendicitis is thought to be his trouble. CAPTURED TWO STILLS. Magistrate C. A. Dye and Con stable W. H. Davis, of Shelton, cap tured two stills in their neighborhood Saturday afternoon and night. They were of small capacity and. were not in operation. The owners were not known, and as they have not come in to claim their property, no arrests have been made. -REVIVAL AT SHELTON. Rev. J. L. Jett closed his success the revival meeting at Antioch M.

The union revival meeting, which has been in progress in the Commu nity building for the past week, closed Sunday night. 'Large crowds attinded the meetings at both the morning and evening services, the at teidance at the morning services be ing greatly augmented by the stores of the town, without exception, clos ing during the preaching hour. The services were in charge of the Rev. I John A. May, of Alabama, and the music was conducted by Mr. Wal ton, of Atlanta, with Miss Rebecca Jennings at the piano. There were several conversions and others reconsecrated their lives to Christian service, as a result of th .meeting. However, the full ben ecial effect of the meeting on the spiritual life of the community can not be readily estimated. Preach *ing a true Gospel, and sound logical doctrines, Mr. May's presentations were clear and forceful. The seed wiichi he planted here will be 'bearing f*t in the community for a long time, to come. As Rev. Mr. May had several dayswith no engagement before go ing to another meeting, on Monday, Tuesday and Wedgesday, !he held spial services in the Methodist cha& rb His subject for Monday n2v-sas was "The Intermediate Tuesday morning, "The Fi on;"- and Wednesday Home and Heav eervibw were of L S. VETBANS' BUREAU ADS 90MING TO CLE5MBIA. At 0mtvl There are many ex-prvice men in Fairfield county that entitled to compensation and many that need medical treatment. This is the best opportunity that ex-service men of the county have had since being dis charged from the army. to get first hand information from the goverl ment. The clean-up aquad is composed cf medical doctors, vocatinal men, and compensation claims men. Now is the time for you to take up, with the gcvernment your claims, boys. If you were wounded in the service, or became disabled from serving in the military service, take your dis charge and all communications that you have had from the government and go before the clean-up squad in Columbia between September 23rd and 27th. Remember that you will be given your meals while meeting the squaa and after you have completed your egri you will be given railroad fare back home by the government. This squad has already taken up 2,000 claims with ex-service men in South Carolina. They have' straight ened out many claims, and filed over 800 new claims. Out of the 2,000 men that have visited the squad over 200 were sent to the hos pital. These men needed hospital treatment aind did not understandJ how to get it. The big idea is the government is coming to you, instead of you having to write to the government trying to get satisfaction through the mail. Every man, woman or child shoulo tell others about this campaign an take it upon yourself to see that all ex-service men who are disable? avail themselves of the opportunity to meet the clean-up squad. MSS BARUCH HONORED. Amos Carlisle Johnstone entcr taed at cards Saturday evening in honor of Miss Simona Baruch, of New York. Seven tables were set for bridge. The score prize, a box of candy, was won by Miss Marian Seigler, the c6nsolation, a deck of cards, was cut by Miss Mayme Pee pes. The guest of honor was pre sented with a book. The last hour of the evening was spent in dancing. Ies and rcnle were snrred. MT. ZiON INSTITUTE OPENED MONDAY. Mt. Zion Ins.i.ute coegan iis cine hundred and thirty-seventh year Monday, with a larger enrollment ihan ever before. Long before the time for the opening exercises a large crowd of pupils, former stu-, dcnts and patrons assembled on the grourds; and the pupils shovnd a spirit of enthusiasm in taking up their. work for the year. Promptly at nine o'clock the atu dents, teachers and visitors gather ed ir the chapel. Just before Super intendent Patton took charge of af fair.- a group of last year's students crowded together and gave a roof raising yell for Mt Zion, which seeme to indicate the spirit which all the students of this year might adopt toward their work. In 1-s usual impressive manner, Mr. Pat ton then welcomed the pupils ana visitors aAd outlined the policy of the school for the year. Among other things he stressed this, "if the pupil in the higher grades-those approaching young manhood and womanhood-do not intend -to work this year it will be far better for them not to come to school. Such a course will not only waste time for both the teachers and indifferent scholars, but will hinder those who want to study and make progress.' After devotional exercises and pray er by the Rev. M. Mayes, of the Presbyterian church,' Mr. Patton arked Mr. Mayes to address the au dience, who spoke of the opportun ities befpre the students and the utmost necessity of their taking sd vantage of them, if they would suc ceed in later life. He also emnpba sized the necessity of disipline, and told how its enforcement. now would exert or infiuepee for god later. Pz. M. M. Steierti the University of South erolina, stated that football this year would be on a higher plane I than hereto fore. Resourcefulness and strategy would be called on to win more than weight- and strength. Although Mt. Zion will have a lighter team than last year, by using hd4d-work it is expected that she will put out a team with as many successes to her credit 'as heretofore. The faculty of the school this year is as follows: Miss Priscilla Ketchin, first grade; I MrE. John Fayssoux, second grade; t Miss Maggie B.
