Success in Every Pe^culfwv-Tlte Fx lilbits Were Numerous. The Bounty Land Community Pair, w held at the school house on October * 13, waB pronounced by many who are considered competent judges, one of the finest things over seen in rural life. In reality lt waa not the world's big fair, but the big world's fair, and ~ our poople did themselves proudr not withstanding the limited time at their disposal for preparation, since J? the fair was held only about three , r weeks from- the.'tlme lt waB decided to hold, it. The people began to as-? up-'S', membre at an early hour, and.by.npjon. ^"'Vv?ry?ge^ as other counties, was represented. The entries, In variety and excellence # of quality, would rival an exhibition of greater pr?tentions. ? The first thing on the program was a Better BabiOB Contest. Quite 'a number of little darlings were pres ent, but owing to the absence of tho doctors and nurse who were appoint ed Judges, each mother was judge of her own babe, and the decision was unanimous-every baby entered won a blue ribbon. .ir' Next was a pageant representing the different departments of commu nity activity. This was heralded by Clyde Entrekln, mounted on a met tlesome sorrel stood, blanketed with green burlap ornamented with cot ton bolls, he, bearing the emblem "Bounty Land's blt for Uncle Sam," and with a large trumpet heralding ? the approach of Uncle Sam and his T workers: (1) Soldier: Oscar H. Doyle, of Machine -Gun Company, 118th U. S. Infantry. (2) Little Miss Lucile Wright in costume of pale yellow, with trim mings of grain, etc., wearing a crown of corn and carrying a sheaf 4? of all kinds of grains, was seated in her "charlot" with her feet resting on a huge pumpkin. The chariot, which was appropriately decorated, was driven by little Master Albert Smith, dressed as Uncle Sam. The placard attached to tho charlot bore the legendary title, "Ceres-Uncle *. Sam's Chief Ally." (3) Misses Cary Doyle and Jessie McDonald represented the Red Cross auxiliary. They were becomingly dressed in Red Cross costume, and rode In a white charlot with a large 'red cross, made of autumn leaves, at tached. . (4) The school was represented by a" float decorated with national col li ors' arranged as a miniature school room, with three ' boys seated at desks. Above them was a tiny school house and flag, with the quotation, "Tho school house stands by the flag," and beneath, " 'Tis the school . boy whoso ballot shall rule." ? (5) A float filled and decorated . with all kinds of foodstuffs, driven by W. A. Rankin, farmer. Master Harrison Cleveland represented Mondamin. The float bore the quo tation, "Food ls the ammunition that -we farmers must supply." ?6) Wild products: 'Miss Lura Perrltt, representing Dame Nature, was'seated In a float decorated with f autumn leaves and flowers, sur rounded by her nymphs and brown We i SATISF.

'" (7) Canning Club: The members of tho Girls' Canning Club, wearing their caps and aprons, r?do in a float decorated with autumn leaves and goldenrod. The "four H's" which they held up spoke eloquently of the splendid work done this year by this club under the. direction of our County Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Ruth Berry. : 4.8) School Improvement Associa tion and Home 'Economics Club: Members.ot tlie-fj^bv .who, ;we,. a^?; iroemWa.oT tlie^Eood Admini?tr?tit?n, wearing the Hoover helpers' uniform, rod? in a float and held , up the quo tation, "Show me the man who can> live without cooks." (9) "Hoover|zing": Mrs. Jasper Doyle" and Dean. Davis, with a num ber of children representing the dnlly home life of a typical Bounty Land family, were seated at a dining table demonstrating the truth stated on a placard attached to the flo^t, "Why preach'the gospel of the clean plate' to us." Placards showing the high cost of food were prominent. The "mother" proved that obedience as well as economy impractical in our homes. This float caused much mer riment. Rev. 4. E. Wallace, of Seneca, mas ter of ceremonies, then, IE. his inimi table manner, introduced Dr. O. G. Brim, teacher of psychology and hea?L of the department 6f rural education, who commended the people of the community for the progressiveness to which they have attained, emphasiz ing the Importance of agriculture as an Industry and placing that occupa tion on an equal plane with the high est of professions. He also stressed the importance of community co-op eration. We were especially fortu nate in securing the services of this noted educator, who is devoting a large part of his tim? to rural Im provement work. His remarks were most Interesting and encouraging. Th? exhibits having been judged, th? doors were thrown open to the public. The exhibits were truly' a representation of what the people are really doing, as nothing was prepar ed for mere show. About 1-o'clock dinner was served, and then a most' delightful social hour was enjoyed, after which a most Interesting talk was given by Mar shal S. Strlbllng, of Westminster, on "The future reign of intelligence arid Christianity," which waB espeeip?ly appreciated by th? ladles. . Pro/. Hutchison, of the Agricultu ral Department of Clemson College, next gave a talk on improved agri culture, making tho velvet benn a special feature. Miss Mauldln*. homo demonstration agent of Bickens county, announced the prize winners of the household department; Supt.

The farm products exhibited fur nished sufficient evidence that our farmers aro waking up on the Idea of crop diversification. A more varied collection would be hard to And in any community, but owing to the ab sence of the judges no ribbons were attached. It ls generally' conceded, however, that lt was a most credita ble display. There were many old relics on ex hibition, a few of which we would like to make special mention, but timo and space forbid. In addition to having with us a number of the members of the facul ties of Clemson College and high schools of the county we were pleas ed to have with us Miss Forney, home demonstration agent of Anderson county. We wish to thank the people ot our ?Ister communities who aided" tts in making this occasion a success. Many of the exhibits were furnished by friends from adjoining communi ties. We are ready to lend them a helping hand at a:iy time There's nothing'like co-operation and a spirit of helpfulness. We are also indebted to a number of ladies from Walhalla, Seneca and Westminster who acted as Judges for the occasion. COTTON AND SEED PRICERS. Wednesday, 10.25 A. M. Westminster-J. G.

Four Zeppelins Destroyed or Captur ed on Hot oin from Bald. .Paris, Oct. 1.-Although at first it was believed that the visit of the Zep pelin fleet to France yesterday was an Independent raid and the first step toward carrying out tho threat made Iii a German wireless message which said it had been decided to destroy Paris Tn reprisal for French air i aids on German towns, lt now is generally believed that these eight Zeppelins, lour of .which were destroyed or cap tured, vwero returning Hom England f.nd had lost their bearings owing to fog and probably had lo.-t touch with their wireless communications. The log book of the Zeppelin which landed intact shows she had been to England an<j prisoners from three other airships confirm this One of the mon captured said iack of gaso line forced ;his Zeppelin to descend.

I >lsa.st cr Cunio on Return Trip-* Sonto Seventy hives Lost, Washington, Oct. 19.-Tho Ameri can army transport Antilles, home ward, hound under convoy, was tor pedoed and sunk by a Gorman sub marino In the war zono on Wednes day. About 70 men aro missing and probably lost. All the army and navy officers aboard and the ship's master wore among the 1G7 survivors. The missing are members of the crew, three civilian engineers, some enlist ed men of tho navy and 17 of 83 sol diers roturnlg homo for various rea sons. Neither the submarine nor the torpedo was seen, and the transport, hit squarely nmidshlp, sank in five minutes. ? This tragedy of the-eoa, the first tn which an American ship engaged In war duty has boon lom, ls tho first of its magnitude to bring home io thu people of the United States the rigors of tho war In which they havo en gaged against Germany. It carries the largest casualty list of tho war so far of American lives and marks tho first success of German submarine at tacks on American transports. That the loss of life was not greater is-due to the safeguards with which tho navy has surrounded the trans port service, and the quick rescue work of the convoying warships. Secretary Daniels announced the disaster to-night in a statement based upon a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims, which gave few de tails, and did not say whether it was a day or night attack. An accurate list of the missing cannot be issued until Gen. Pershing reports the names of the army-men on the vessel and the Hst of the merchant crew. Survivors landed in France. A French Port, Oct. 21.-Survivors of the United StateB transport Antil les, which was sunk by a German submarine last week while being con voyed on her homeward trip by American warships, were landed here to-d?y by auxiliary vessels, and are being cared for by the American con sulate. Sonic of the men havo been lodged In local hotels and a few have left for Paris. Tho torpedo struck U?o ship at a quarter? *t?'~: -7*-o'clock.Wednesday 'morning.' Many .oT/those 'oh .board wore killed In their borths, while oth ers were dressing. Tho explosion killed tho engineers, oilers and me chanics and those of tho crew who wore In tho bunkVbelow. All tho survivors praise tho cap tain of the Antilles and the mombors of tho gun crew, who stuck to their posts while the officers searched with field glasses for the submarine until the waves closed over tho ship. When tho Antilles sank 40' or 50 men were at the stern. Most of thom leaped BO feet or more Into the sea as the stern roso to a perpendicular position and some vere drawn down by tho suction of thc sinking vessel. The submarino was not sighted either before or after tho explosion. The sea was running high at the time, making it difficult to save the crow and passengers. Somo surviv ors, clinging to debris, were in tho water an hour before they were sighted by the life boats. Sixty-Seven Were Lost, Washington, Oct. 22.-Sixty-seven lives were lost when the Antilles went down by a German torpedo. The official casualty list forwarded by Gen. Pershing also shows one unac counted for a.nd 170 survivors. Among the dead ls Neptoin Bobin, of Savannah, Ga. LIBERTY BONDS.
