> BY-WAYS OF STATE HISTORY* <$> ' By J. W. Daniel <3> Carap-Fire Chat <?> . * <e> i Our camp, fire is seen from many L 1:111 n j 'r 1- fu;il? I a nine vaney anu iruin mns. I like to live where I can see something from afar and there^is no country that gratifies that desire more l'it^ etally than this Piedmont belt. The English government has recently, ttioUgh pressed as fiever before by enormous war debts, made appropriations to bord l: every old lane in Wales with trees and hedges, and to ifcark every historic spot with some ? Ai..< i tl . i lining me.uoriah . ii, is a ueauuiui ielea. Millions of human hearts are refreshed and tired brains are rested by the thought of a great nation turning aside for a little while from the murders and burnings of foolish Ireland, the pressure pf troubles brewing in its far eastern possessions and 'its recuperation ' >m the most aisasterous war the world has ever known t'o beautify its God-given territnrv A irrpat financier has recent ly said, ."The gp*atest temptation I ever had was when the devil took me up into a high mountain and showed me ten per cent." Any^peopl^ with its heart. and brain completely absorbed in tpil and finance will eventually become an; incubus on the world's progress. The greatest man the world ever prcgfltieedr under the guidance of inspiration, wrote ' That ,r.. ? % ever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever Is of good repute-?think * the thoughts of these things." I h^ve often wondered why school authorities of Piedmont Carolina, especially,; and of all Carolina, 80 not require I 'landscape gardening to be taught in I " the public schools. Many old and dilapidated homesteads would becorrte tr'rbble in value with just a few touchv es of the land-scape gardener on the old red hills that are washing into gutters. Visions of the cotton market have not only impoverished our i agriculturists but crucified sweet sentiment and made 'hearts coarse as tfhose of the speculator on Wall Street, and as unrefined as the love 01 money i can make them. It 'is high time to, think on things that are lovely. Let; Carolinians learn to enhance the Beauty of ,the everlasting hills, we, Save been despoiling them long enough. "We are the producers,", ihout the farmers who have entered the ring of speculative values and put themselves at the mercy of the manipmoVlrofe T]lO nftl'itl". Uia tui O ' UI tuc iiiaj. s\vwc. X1&V/ cians hunting: votes shout it back to them in eloquent tones and with wild gestures, *'you are the producers," and, therefore, every concession of government and market should be made .to you. I thought so once, but I have gone higher up the hill and encamped on.its crest. I can see further now. The flowers of spring time have whispered to me and it was the voice of God. Shyly they whispered to my attentive ear,- "We are the producers. Behold the variety of our colors and products." Then I thought of Tennyson as he plucked the little 'flower fropi the crannied wall and stood there holding it in his hand; then a message went to all the English world from his lips, "Could I but understand the flower, root and all and all in all, then I 3 . . would know what G.od and man is." Pardon my ruthless destruction of the measure and diction of the couplet? I am talking in prose. Again I thought of the * words of 'another greater than Tennyson-?greater than Everybody, "Consider the Iillies of the fields." \ Yes, tiny little flower, you are the producer and you are beautifully dresed, Solomon with all his wealth could not rival the gorgeousness of your raiment. I am glad God made the real- producer exceedingly beautiful and sweet-scented, and 4nat He inade a thousand varieties. No, Brother Farmer, you are not a producer, you are a gatherer. B^es, inoths and insects also gather and feed on the sweetness of the flowers and God made the producers beautiful to attract them. Eyen the wild ani1 c anH nirHc will frnm afar to eat the fruit of these flowers when the bees have stored their winter supplies from the cups of the gorgeously painted petals. Plant a thousand things about you and make them beautiful by culture, then in Autumn days stand in the midst of your beautiful garden and pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," and I will guari xi.,1 j.1- ...:i 1 i- ? j aniee mai me V?m UC aiiawciru by the real producers of earth. Eh? You do not understand how . the flowers are the producers? Well, cultivate your cotton well but pluck all the blossoms and your field will not prod?e a lock?not even a bollweevil however luxuriant the weed. You are just a culturist, you cultivate God's gift to give it a chance to come up to the full measure of its producing power. Emphatically, you are a gatherer. Do not be partial to " ' jan.y one flower; treat as many of them as you can politely. T^he bees and l insects are not partial, the sweetness : of their stores'is compounded from a , thousand different flowers. A man .ought to be as sensible as a bee. i Yes, you are correct, "This land will produce anything that grows." i Why then should there be a scarcity of anything we need? "You are goiing to begin?" Well, I am glad. Be 'grin intelligently, it is a nie-iong wor* !for you and thei] it mu^t be taken !up by your children. Go to your i moss-back board of school trustees and demand that they put courses in your school that will teach your boys and girls how to lay off- artistic garden spots, how to plant hedges and preserve trees, how to spray and fertilize and how to group trees and : shrubs. The youth of this land need .to develop an appreciation of the aesthetic?it is valuable in dollars and cents and does not debase one's manhood. Plant more things on your farm, 'you are a gatherer. Fill your barns 'with what people need by first producing what you need and what gives you abiding pleasure and plenty. Hedge, a little at a time, the highway that runs through your land with the privet and keep it- triimmed, the blooms even if coo sweet to be pleasant, will make honey for the bees. Plant deciduous trees like the old .Silver Maple alternating with an ever'green like your red cedar?it will enhance the monetary value of your plantation one hundred per cent. Then push cut into your fields, separate onW from another with plants, trees and :shrubbery; make your farm beautiful if you want to double its value. Piedmont South Carolina with its hills and [valleys, with its gurgling springs and j winding water courses, with its roads along the crests of ridges and winding around the hills?in a word, with all its gifts of nature could be made a garden of international fame. Glad you came with me, eh? So am I. Yes, it is bed-time?we will spread our blankets and sleep with our feet to the fire. No pillows! Well, nature provides. Watch me clip a few soft pine plumes and pile^them under one end of my blanket, I like the odor and it is good for hay fever?yes, I am affictfed with that fashionable disease. I wish every farmer would take it, also corn, wheat, hedge, cattle and garden fever; the country would be more beautiful and more prosperous and independent of speculators. Pleasant dreams to you. <?><?><?> *}><$><?><?> '<<$> <?> > HOME DEMONSTRATION <S> i <S> r> <5Miss Berrie, the home demonstra tion agent, will meet the Boys and ; Girls Poultry club and the Girls Sewing club at'vJalapa school on Sept. 27 : at 3 o'clock at schcolhouse, but will : be unable to meet the Silverstre.et !club on Thursday owing to the coun! ty agents' meeting in Greenville, S.

McCollum of johns .Hop1 kins university, savs: ^ Milk tKe Focd for Adults "Milk is our greatest protective if cod and its uze must be increased in! stead cf diminished.. The liberal use 'of milk has made us what we arc. No family has the right to purchase any meat until each member has at least a pint of milk daily and this I regard as below the optimum. Milk is just as necessary for the maintenance of health in the adult as in the young. I have sought in vain for 'several years for a diet which was Anlv of n which could | KUl KJ III f V/JL V* _ ! support growth in a young animal, f but which would main tain an adult in a state of health over a prolonged period. ; "I am convinced that we should adhere throughout life to such diets as will induce normal growth in a child jof three to five years, if we would ^maintain the highest state of physi, cal well-being of which we are -capable. ^Let me repeat in closing that the dairy industry has made us what we are, and that any further reduction in our composition of milk and its products will be reflected in a lowering of our standards of publichealth and efficiency. i School Lunch j The importance of the midday meal for the growing child is often 1 ? neglected, particularly during scnooi time. It should not be forgotten that, as a rule, the lunch which the child takes at school is the big meal of the day, therefore should be sufficient in quantity, wnolescme and made up of foods required by the growing body. Growing children need good wholesome foods because new tissue is being made, they take a great deal of exercise, and the tax of study increasj es their food requirement. They need .simple foods easily digested, such as milk and milk products, meats a* beef, fish and chicken, vegetables. i fruits and cereals. j To summarize the planning and / 'preparation of the school lunch: It should be planned so as to be i , . satisfying and nutritious, but not heavy (heavy lunches cause sluggishness). j In.packing the lunch the container is most important. It should be one I that is easily cleaned ar.d properly ventilated. Paper napkins should,when possible, be provided. Each j J sandwich should be wrapped in oiled I or paraffin paper. For the carrying]' of such foods as salads, etc., small |r iellv elasses or custard cups are very j */ V V ' nice. The attractiveness of the lunch * -:has much to do with the taste of the food wfrich it contains. When possible, the ideal way is to have one 1 ' hot dish or drink to accompany .the fhome packed lunch. This of course | is prepared at school. c j The following are a few examples ! of properly planned lunches: i 1. Two Uhicken sandwiches. | Small container of potato salad. ; 1 apple. 1-2 pint sweet milk. j 2 small, pieces peanut brittle. 2. ?1 or 2 cheese and pimento J ennHwiches. j ( Small container baked beans. 11 1-2 pint sweet milk. 1 1 piece sponge cake. 2 3?Two nut sandwiches.

' Young Gosse^, represented by coun-| se>, appeared before Associate Justice T. P. Cothran to apply for bail) ; at a habeas corous hearing today. | } i I Pminspl announced that arrange-j 'merits would be made for the release: of the prisoner at once, pending the! new trial. 4 Gcssett was convicted in April, 1920, at a special term of .court at J Abbeville. The supreme court ordered a new trial on the ground that the i .1 'defendant was not given a fair trial by reason of the tense feeling existing Jin the Abbeville section.' The bond of $6,000 was signed this afternoon by t\\*elve citizens, including the defendant, and Kenneth Cos-' sett was admitted to liberty.
