Below we publish a story taken From "Memorabilia, an Anectodal Reminiscences of Columbia, South Carolina," by Julian A. Selby, | which will be of interest to the many friends of Dr. G. A. Neuffer. The Sheriff was a cousin of the doctor j and must have been as bright as he is, to be able to think of such a word n such a hurry. Our old friend, Sheriff Charles tfeuffer, had a warrant for a man :harged with some trifling offense, vho, when he found that officer was after him, determined to give him a ong chase. Both were mounted, jut the offender had the better horse ind kept just far enough ahead of lim to annoy him. He took the Earner's Ferry Road, and when Sheriff Neuffer got in calling dis;ance, he would let off a volly of ough remarks to the discomforted )fficer. Finally they reached the joundary line between Sumter and Richland, when the delighted lawweaker drew rein, and addressed the >fficer as a "Bull headed Dutchman" ieclaring that he was now beyond lis jurisdiction and dared him to at;empt to arrest him. "Guess not," eplied the angry Sheriff, "I've got i 'Slapdamicus' for you and you'll :ome, I bet." "The devil you lave," was the surprised response, and he returned to Richland dis:rict, quietly submitting to service of :ne warrant. wnat s a biapaamicus?" inquired a curious individual, who had listened to the Sheriff's account of the arrest. "Damned if [ know," said Sheriff Neuffer, "I thought the big word would scare him into coming back, and I had no more trouble with him." Tho finwinw rlronorl uail IC novor quite out of style, but this season it has surprised even itself by the favor accorded it. Some hats rely upon their trimming for the style that the veil will give it. I Southern Railway Schedule. Effective Dec. 20,1914. . A.M.

THE COW AND HER PRODUCT Clcmson College Weekly Note* for -Farmer and Dairyman A. pure bred cow should have pure bred attention. Now :is the time to select the land for that Bermuda grass pasture. Bermuda grass sod should be broken every four years. One acre of good Bermuda will pasture two or more cows. The dairy cow should have a ^ood pasture, not an exercise ground. An old field grown up in broom sedge and old field pines is not a good pasture. Each week several thousand pounds of country butter sire shipped from the upper courties of South Carolina to the renovatL.g factories of the North. The farmers receive from 15 to 20 cents in trade for such butter. Each week several thousand n/Minrlc nt" ronnvatpH hnt.t.er shinned into the lower counties of South Ct: olina and sold for 35 to 45 cents per pound. There are ways of stopping this. One of them is to join the co-operative creamery movement of Clemson College. The Dairy Division of the college will furnish all desired information. The last quart of milk given by a oow is much richer than the first quart. The moral is easy to read. Milk the cow dry every timo. Dehorning a cow does not check her milk flow. I The good dairy cow pays the highest price for a farmer's hay and grain. Why not sell these products to her? She will nevei refuse them and she will always return a profit if you will do your p.irt. The dairy cow is a maohine for converting feed into milk and butter. The machine is unprofitable unless the value of the milk is greater than the cost of feed and upkeep. How about your cow? Use the curry comb and brush on o rlairv f?r?w pvcrv Hflv. Tt navs. There is more money in feeding a steer than in feeding a poor dairy cow, and much lass work. Every pure bred cow does not make money. Keep records and see if every one of your cows pays for its keep. A Tomato Club Organized. Miss Martha Piatt paid a visit to the Abbeville High School last Friday and a tomato club wa? organized. Miss Piatt made an interesting talk to the children on tomatoes and much enthusiasm was evidenced. The following young ladies have given in their names: Misses Forrest Thornton, Ilva Ferguson, Sara Mundy, Charlotte Telford, Mary Graydon, Mattie Eakin, Fannie Edmundsi, Margaret Sutherland, Pauline Wosmansky, lydia Owen, Mary Stevenson, Maude Hawthorne, Minnie Ruth Cox, Rebecca Edmunds, Grace Link, Gladys Wham Ruth Beeks, Fay Andrews, Madge McLesky, Edna McKelvey, Margaret McCord, Mary Aiken, Elizabeth Faulkner, Eugenia Coleman, Mary Adams, Eleanor Schroeder, Katherine Faulkner, Leo Wilson, Clayton Shirley, Isabel Cantey, Mildred Cochran, Victoria Howie, Edna Bradley, Virginia Aiken, Mary Greene. After the organization of the club, the young people elected their officers and the result was that Miss Maude Hawthorne was chosen President, Miss Mary Graydcn, VicePresident; and Miss Mattij Eakin, Secretary. This is the la/gest club ever organized in the State and much good work is expected of the High School Club. Exhibits :For Field Day. At the Teachers Association held in Due West, it was decided that in order to be fair to all schools in their school exhibits, that a distinction would be made between articles made at home and those made in school. All articles made in school must be so designated, and all articles mace at home must be designated as made at home. All teachers should take special care to see that the articles for exhibition are so marked before they ar; sent to the Fair Grounds. H. B.

That the mining of domestic white-burning clays is almost in its infancy and that America must look to the South for its supply of such clays are the conclusion of a paper by Joel H. W&tkins, geologist of the industrial and agricultural department of the Southern Railway Co., presented at the last meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. His paper dealt with the residual china clays of North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia, the sedimentary paper clays of South Carolina and Georgia and the sedimentary ball clays of Florida and Tennessee with a reference to the pocket deposits of white clay in Augusta county, Virginia; the bauxitic kaolin of Tennesse, Georgia, and Alabama, and the halloysite deposits of Tennessee and Georgia. The mining of these clays has become an important industry in the Southern Appalachian States with the nicreasing demand for them in the manufacture of white ware and creamcolored ware, bone, delft and belleck chinaware, sanitary ware, porcelain electrical supplies, architectural terra-cotta, tiles for walls and floors paper and fillers in paints, plasters, pastes, putty and school crayons. But the total production of them in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee in 1913 aggregated only 182,518 tons, valued at $788,409, in a total production in the United States of 197,nnc a! (fono f7CO T?, L. I U UU11Z, YdlUCU at ((IOVU) I t/ ?/ Xll fVia coma irociT* tViic cftiinlrv r>r<iHiiPPr1 $31,443,450 of white-burned clay ware and imported $9,340,890 worth. For domestic manufacture 268>666 tons, valued at $1,623,993, were imported, practically displacing domestic raw material, which experts regard as having no superior if properly handled. Reciting these facts, Mr. Watkins insists that not only should this country supply a sufficient quantity of this clay for its own demands, but should become a competitor in foreign markets. He recognizes that there are reasons why such a desirble situation has not developed, but only reasons that can be readily overcome. For instance, against the objection of American potters that domestic clays are not uniform in character, he opposes the fact that the United States Bureau of Mines has advocated a central depot for the proper mixing and grading, under a supervision of a trained ceramic chemist, of the output of a number of mines, and he argues that such a plant could be operated in North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia, and that if successfully engineered, it would stimulate greatly the mining of kaolin by : mall operators, inducing a higher price than domestic clay is now bringing. Against the further objection that American white clays are not more extensively used because most of the mines are remote from the manufacturing centers he argues that, although most of the clays now mined in the Southern Appalachian States is shipped for manufacture distances ranging from 400 to 700 miles, if the clays were properly prepared and sold under guarantee, the pottery plants would get closer to the sources of the raw material. Natural gas in West Virginia has in recent years brought that State, with an annual output valued at: $3,500,000, to the rank of third | among the States in the value of pot- j tery products. It is but another step to the olcation of potteries closer to the raw materials in abundance. The South has the fuels and the materials in abundance. It will do wisely applying the suggestions that materials will be so handled as to appeal more strongly than at present to American manufactures, and, at the same time, to leave nothing undone that may contribute to the biulding up of convenient markets for the finished products.?Manufacturer's Record.
