Lyles' compliments to Winnsboro, printed in pamphlet form. Away back before the Confederate War we had a man named Jonah, who warned the Ninehvites of a pend ing curse and they repented in sack cloth and ashes; and contrary to the wishes of the fish-man, Jonah, the doomed city was saved. Now for the sake of Winnsboro's glorious history of the past and the plesaant recollections of Matilda Roseborough and her long ginger cakes and beer, can there not be something done to divert the awinl doom that is hanging over the old town and threatti to hurl her in of the lost. If only a few righteous can be found within her gats who have not bowed the knee to Baal, may not the 'awful de cree be altered. Oh, my brethren, get busy if you would save Winnsboro! I would sug gest that the first thing to do is to find the cause for her downward trend -which cause I am sure will be found in the fact that too many darned! country crackers have moved to town for the purpose of holding public of fice or just doing anything to keep from plowing. Separate the sheep from the goats and old Winnsboro will show up again as the salt of the earth. Vv. 1R.

South Carolina 9AIRYMEN iOLD ANNUAL MEET' )AIRYMEN HOLD ANNUAL MEET. Annual Gathering Held on Farm of James L. McIntosh. Near Doves ville, Darlington County. Darlington.-The annual convention of the South Carolina Dairymen's as sociation was held on the farm of James L. McIntosh, near Dovesville, in Darlington county, and was attend ed by a large number of dairymen and farmers from all parts of the state. More than 200 were present, represent Ing 15 counties. The surroundings were ideal for a dairy convention, for *he highly developed dairy cows owned by M1r. NiIntosh. owner of Clover farm, then those interested in dairying. The meeting was called to order by R. "M. Cooper, Jr.. of Wisacky. pres ident of the association. James L. McIntosh. owner of Clover Farm, then welcomed the visitors to his farm. He said this was the largest attendance for an annual conventon since the state association had been. organized. Few speeches were made, but those which were made so impressed the -isitors that they will go home witn more inspraton and better equipped 'or intelligent dairy work. J. C. McDowell of the dairy divis Ion. Washington. gave a very intel ligent -discussion of the "Factors Leading to Success in Dairying." Ac cording to Mr. 'McDowell, South Caro lina Is a great field for the develop ment of the dairying industry. "High producers are the only cows which give profits," said 'Mr. McDowell. He was very emphatic in his declaraton that to make progress as a dairy state, dairymen must eleminate the scvub cows and padicularly the scrub hulls. It not only pays to keep good cows. but it pays to feed them, said Mr. McDoNgell. He paid % splendid tribute to dairying in Soutn Carolina. saying that this state was second to Pennsylvania in the number of bull associations. Dr. Edward R Teigs of Beltsville. Md.. then gave a very instructive lecture on the mineral requirements of cows. According to Dr. Meigs, a great many cows suffer as a result of a detiiency of lime. All of the vis itors were then called to' the dinner tables. where a picnic dinner was served by the women in attendace. Dr. J. F. Devine. noted speciall3t from Goshen, N. Y., then enlightened the visitors and gave much valuable information on the dreaded disease of abortion so prevalent in cows. Dr. Devine doubtless knows more about ths subject than any other veteri narian in the country and in an inter it gertments and of m. thods of cont o1. After the addresses, the association held a business session. A. L. James, one of the leading darymniei of Dar lIngton. was elected president of the association for the ensuing year, and C. A. Onisrud of Sumter was elected vice pres'dent. J P. Lamaster of Clemson college is secretary. A demonstration In cow Judging was given by W. W. Fitzpatrick of the Guernsey Cattle club. - To Regulate Sale of Milk = Spartaniburg.-City council has pass ed an ordinance regulating the sale of milk and milk products on the local market. The ordinance has caused considerable comment and in some cases uneasiness. The ordinance re quires, those who run dairies to handle the milk in a sanitary manner, re quiring that the milking be done In a building with concrete floor, away from the feed, etc. All animals are required to stand the test for tuber culosis. It was thought that the ordi nance would prevent those who keep cows for their own use from disposing of their surplus milk and butter. Farmers who sell milk and butter in the city are up i the air. as it were. for until they comply with the regulations they can not dispose of their -dairy products. Books to Cost More. Chester.--3. E. Brockman. superin tendent of the Chester city schools. ~aid the price of school books in South Carolina next school year would he rom 50 per cent to 100 per cent higher than they have heen hitherto. Mir. Brokman in discussing the conditions which have brought about this situa ton remarked that the last contract for text books was made five years ago. at a time when everything was cheap Inasmuch as the publishers were tied ip in a five year contract. they were comelled to maintain the contract prices which during the past thre' rears have not even covered the cost of printing. The contract expires thie spring and new contracts have been made. Books have sold in this state for one-fourth to one-half the prices naid in other states for sev-eral years ast.

There's No Mystery About Gasoline I F two refiners had the same equipment and ac cess to the same supply of crude oil they could both make good gasoline IF they both had the same amount of skill.
