SUBSCRIPTIONS TO s

COMING IN SLOWLY r

The response to the annonucement a
of the publication in June of the last t
? -> n 1?
is.-ue ot rroper uanut-i, tuc mgu ?
school paper, in book form contain- t
ing many interesting features is
meeting with slow success if the v
number of checks being received is t
any indication. However- along with 0
them are some appreciative notes. Q
Editor Elbert H. Aull of Newberry .
was the first to respond and expressed
his appreciation that the volume
was to contain a history of "dear old
Abbeville" and.some of the scenes of
ve olden time. Editor Aull, by the
way, was one of the real few school- 1
masters the old school had. His first c
teaching was done here. ;
That the field representative of the e
American Red Cross Knows a good a
thing when she sees it is evidenced
by the following letter wrilch Miss a
Elizabeth Eili.s the field representa- v.
tive, who is temporarily stationed-in t!
A btvillcv wrote the editors of Pro- h
per Gander a few days ago: a
Proper Gander, si
Abbeville, S. C. Ii
, Dear Editor:?
Throuh the courtesy of one of the w
High School students, Miss Eliza- f(
beth Gambrell, I have a copy of the S
April number of ''Proper Gander.'^ b
It is most interesting; trie jokes are fi
really funny (which is more man can ci
be said of most school and college pa-j st
pers,) and the whole tone of the pa?' cj
per is high and fine to an unusual degree.
I am particularly interested in tl
the editorial, "Civic Art," partly be- J]
cause I have recently spent two (J
months in helping High School and si
Grammar School students put on'tl
"Clean-up-and-Beautify campaigns t(
(a practical realization of the ideals h
expressed in the editorial) and large- \V
ly because it is a good piece of work ti
judged by high editorial standards, j
I \vish to congratulate the Staff,
o.irl tr> ovnvasc tVlP hnilp that VOll
rrr.y have many successes in the future.
B
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Ellis,
Field Representative American
Red Cross."
The ridiculously low price at which
the high school annual is being- offered
the public may be one reason s
for the unenthusiastic reception being
^ccorded the venture. We know ''
that Florence, Sumter, Darlington, *
and other high schools throughout
the State are charging $3.00 and upwards
for a copy o? their annuals. 1
The half-tones alone which will ap- *
pear in Proper Gander for June cost
the staff over $150.
The"history of Abbeville which
wi1. appear in this number Is based (
on one written as a graduation essay!
Kn Mi cc TTccio Tli-mclnc r?f the oljiss '
of 1896 and will be brougnt up to *
date by one of this year's class.
The cover of the volume will be of;
heavy material embossed, not print-,(
ed, in two colors. j(
/ You will make a mistake not to:2
subscribe early and get advantage of,'
the cheap pride. '
SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUSTS
MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE
i
This is the year of the 17-year lo- '
cus:ts in many sections of the State. *
Farmers from various vsections of *
? . . ?, i <
Aooevine county report tneir appeai-ance
:n great numbers. They are '
making t>heir appearance rather ear- '
ly in the .season, as usually they are
no: seen . .-fore June or July.
In some places they are to be seen 1
in great droves or swamrs and
where they are thickest their droning
can *><? heard for almost a mile. 1
The fact that this is locust year
will no doubt cause a deal of apprehension
until it is ascertained wheth
er they will swoop down upon the
field crop* and play havoc with the
food production of the community.
The locu^s have the "W" on the :
wing, this identifying them as the 17
ytar locals of Pharoah fame. It has
been a long time since they appeared
in this section and a new genera
tion has sprung up since the last appearance
of the locusts, in view of '
this fact, '.t is expected that there
will be numerous pilgrimages to the
woods to see the locusts and to hear
their chanting of "Pharaoh, Pharaoh'
AH Sunday school students are familiar
with tu.e plague of the locusts in
FIgypt wh*n the Israelites were held 1
in bondag-? by_the Pharaohs, and tra
dition ha.-; :t that the locusts, during ?'
each visitation upon earcth, call out '<
I
the name, Pharaoh.
It is savl the insects are harmless
o far as human beings are concernd,
except during the laying peiod.
The insect splits a limb, 01
whatever it is resting on, it is said,
nd the eggs are deposited inside
he split. Instances have occurred
i-hen ngers of children praying witfr
he locusts were split evenly ae if
rith a knife. Limbs of trees split, inariablv
die, it is said. Others state
he eggs are deposited In the buds
if hickory trees and the larva travrse
the pith of the brancn and go inc
th? ground, it taking a period ol
bout 17 years to make the trip.

"Tanlac is a good medicine and
has done some wonderful things for
sufferers. It is particularly good for
an(h stomach troubles, as I know from
>unty having taken Tanlac. Other members
^ of my family also are taking Tanlac."
y the In these words, W. M. Myers, a well
the known furniture dealer, of 1305

j summed up his high opinion of the

P ^ "I suffered from kidney trouble,

r -'ladder ailments and constipation. I
suffered long and severely with a
pain in my left side, which baffled all
the treatments I ever tried for it,
as and I even had to undergo an oper1
ation. All that time I spent a great
[ deal of money seeking to restore my
i good health, but I failed to get the
i relief I sought.
"The advertisement of Tanlac
