THERE ARE OTHERS. ) i Yes, I felt sure there were othsrj bouses in Newberry than those I, mentioned that had been occupied by the same families during the period mentioned. My young friend Andrew Langford reminds me of several, of course, I do not mean to say that lie knows of his own knowledge but he has a retentive mind and is ob-l servant and a close student. There j is the residence of Mr. John W. Chapman, Miss Fannie Ramage, Mr. R. Y. Leavell, Mr. William Johnson, Mrs. J. H. Riser, then Mrs. Geo. Landford. Fossibly there are others. And by the way, Andrew says that < (he oldest hbuse in Newberry is that portion of the Central house which Is I < now used for the cook room. That it j. i 1 belonged to the Hon. Thomas H. Pope ; and stood on some portion of the land 4 that is bow owned by the Newberry j' eottoa mill. j j Tbe entire bwiness portion of the j ^ town hag been either burned or tha| houses torn away to make way for j 1 others during that time except Law ( Range and tihe store now used by j Ss Iter's gallery, which then was used for the college, that is the upstairs j ^asc, the down stairs was occupied by < Mr Joseph Mann as a store and the rear as a residence, and he says thej beys did worry him a little during that: time. Mr. Mann is still in business I I just across the street in the brick' I building which he now owns. J E. H. A. | | ' IJ The drafting is now in the hands ( of the State.

Crooks, requesting j k The Herald and News sent to his pres-j et-?. address at Porter Military a-cade-j my instead of to the Tutwiler hotel,; ; Birmingham, Ala., the writer says: "Ii look forward to its coming with the? greatest of pleasure." He is now cor- j1 poral in the Quartmaster corps and! ^ says he likes military life very well, j so far, although it was very hard to j ^ becomes accustomed to that life after j he ring "such good times at the finest j hetel in the South." He says he re- j s jetted very much to leave the Tut-,' viler, as he had just been promoted c from the position of cashier to that 1 of night clerk." He hopes to return to i \ Ore Tutwiler as soon as the war isj* over, as he is very fond of hotel work, j 0 Corporal Crooks says that upon his ar-j c ? f rival in France he will notify us of his j address as he wishes to continue takkig the paper. He concludes his in- v teresting letter with the remark: * "From all indications it will only be a | a ecfcrt while before this school will be v in France. This all seems very a hard, still it's for our flag. Wishing e you much suocess with your paper."' v v e OAKLAND MILL NOTES. j v Mil! News, 19th. j a T. J.

M. Mills, the United Slates department of agriculture in cooperation with Winthrop i Normal and Industrial College, and CUmson Agricultural College, held its short course in the Prosperity school building, the 17th, 18th and 19t'\ of thi., month. The three days were spent interest iiigly and profitably in being told and shown how to can soup mixture, chili sauce, beans, tomatoes, okra, corn, apples, peaches, etc., etc., and to dry onions, okra, corn, squash and beans; and tested corn and beets already dried and then soaked ready to cook. r i It is wonderful that 100 lbs. of squash when dried will be only 8 oti-.; but when soaked will weigh alluost the original 100 lbs.; and that 1 tea cup of dried beans when soaked and cooked will feed a family of twelve. Dried corn is much easier to keep and much more palatable than canned corn. * J We tasted samples of soy-bean muf-j fins, hot biscuits with roasted peanuts used as substitute, oatmeal cookies with raisins, apple -preserves, etc., etc., and found everything good. Miss Richardson's demonstration on butter-making was. timely. She took us from the cow to the table and j I showed the value of the i-celess re-! frgerator. It would have been well if more home-makers and particularly j farmers' wives had been present. Wej would cease to treat ourselves to but-: ter-milky butter.

It carried us back to the days of "auid lr-np syne" to see the boys and girls clasping hands in a circle and sing-: int* love songs, and playing romping! gr.rces. The plain and peach-icecream served in cones was much en- j joyed. A few motored up from Newberry to! tr.ke in some of the exercises at the school house, but the rain, no doubt,! kept many away, though the cooled air j nrace it much pleasanter for the many ! whc attended. .Mr. Mills introduced the speakers j each morning. i ' i Senator Johnstone gave a long and and instructive talk. He rejoiced in I the growth of democracy as shown in j the desire of the English parliament that our flag should float with theirs over the. building, and predicts that in fifty years or so from now that the German -peoples will come witb outstretched hands, thanking us forj delivering thein from kaiserism. He aleo stressed the need of the kead, and hand working together instead of1 anart, as in the days of yore, so that [ the man in overalls and the man with j the store-pipe hat will stand side ay: side as brothers. { Representative Evans predicted that if the women will do their full share in food conservation, and along other lines cooperating with the govern-' ment, they will be rewarded with( Woman's Suffrage.
