OUR CORRESPONDENT HAS TROUBLE IN KITCHEN He Now Knows How to Appreciate Good Woman?Farmers' Organizations | I Mr. Editor: I am having some ex perifuctr uiai uusu t tumc AV/* the past 35 years as I can remember.. My old better-half who has been baking bread for me for the past 47 years, has been confined to her room for the past three weeks, and I have once again been introduced to the cook room. I am with cooking very much like the man who ate the crow ?he said that he could eat a crow but he wasn't hankering after it. I am glad to say that my daughters and daughtesr-in-law are always very kind to come and show their love and willingness to help in times of need, but thev all have families of their I own and have to "look after their own domestic duties. While it is true the family is small, only the old father, mother and youngest son, yet the very same trouble in the kitchen comes three times a day. The first morning I went in the cook room to take my first degree, the first thing I looked for was the biscuit pan. , After a considerable search I found it. I then sifted my flour, got my but-; ter milk and lard, a little warm water. There was something going on in the bread tray for a short while and don't you forget it. When it came time to make out mv biscuits I wonj J dered what to do with all the dough between my fingers on my right hand. But I found that I had but little time ' to worry over that. The next thing I began to look after was-the rolling pin and biscuit cutter. But I failed to find them. So I thought I would try mother's plan?just pull off a . piece of '.iough and roll it around In:' my hands. And it was not long be-!! fore I had the pan covered with chunks of dough a little less than the;' size of your fist. j. After I had my bread in the over' I began to look after the frying pan which I found and filled with water ' ! to wash my meat. About the time 11 had my meat sliced and ready to wash * * ? " i 11 / il 1 happened to nit tne nanaie 01 ine frying pan and knocked the whole thing over in the floor. About this ' time my son came in to see if there was anything he could do in the way, of hurrying on breakfast. I told him to look after the bread. He opened ; the door of the oven and said the bread looked white. I told him to i' just shut the door and put in some,' more wood, which he did. 1 After I had fixed my meat in the J pan I then looked at my bread and found it almost as hard as a bone. j My son came in again and began to . inquire if there was anything eise ne could do; and asked me why the floor ' was all wet. But I was in no humor , to answer questions. I got through with that mess as quick as possible, i I didn't hear a word of complaint ( only the son remarked while we were quietly eating, there was one thing,1 certain, if we couldn't get a cook in | the kitchen pretty soon he really did-;1 n't see how he could stay around. here any longer. i After I went back into the house,' I began to realize what the good Lord had said after he had made Adam, that it was not good for man to be alone. And I felt very much like the young soldiers who were fixing to board the train to face the music in ; the Confederate war! A number off "~ c+'jn^incr u rmm H rrvinST. ! WUXIICil ngit ~ and he burst out in tears and said, "God bless the women." But there is : a consolation in everything if we can find it. | v My cooking is very much like the , old gentleman's wedding he gave in honor of his daughter. He said, "Eat, bovs, this don't come everv day." I But I am not going to worry! my friends over my troubles, neither ' make those who dislike me rejoice. I am thankful to say that my blessed old cook has recovered and I trust by! the time this becomes readable to the public she will be fully able to resume her full duties in and around the' home. Sometimes I think it is good j for men to have such experiences. It < makes them appreciate more fully the . value of a woman in the home. Another effort is being made to or-: ganize the farmers into a cooperative system of marketing their products.; I have been connected with some kind of a farmers movement for the past' 40 years. And I have all kinds of experience except as a leader. I Viqvo novpr fplf- mv imnortance enough to feel that I was capable of becoming a leader, only in one institution. And that is the matrimonial institu-1 tion, and I am glad to say that I have never had any trouble along this line.; Yes, the farmers have tried many I things and failed. They tried the warehouse system and failed. They, tried the banking business and failed. They tried the mercantile business and failed. They tried the cooperation in the reduction of cotton and failed. And several oth<>r little fnili ures have come their way. But we must remember that they have not failed in everything. Thov put up a tight against the Jute trust and they whipped it good. They organized an insurance company more than 20 years ago known as the Farmers Mutual Insurance association of Newberry county. Which is as good as anv other line of insurance in the state. And we are due the success of this association to cur faithful and efficient treasurer, Mr. L. i. Enting, who has served as treasurer for the past 20 years. In 1002 Mr. Epting was made treasurer. The total amount of insurance up to then was $142,000. At the present the total amount is $864,588, making ar increase since Mr. Epting's administration of $722,588. Evidently the prosperity of any institution is due to its good, faithful, honest and upright management. Just such as Mr. Epting gives to every man. I have a little over $2,000 insurance in the company. I have been one of the policy holders ever since Mr. Epting's administration and I am thankful to ?ay that I have never had the occa s:on to call on the company tor one cent and trust I may never have. What else have the farmers done? They ran a Ben Tillman government for more than 10 years. They built an agricultural college. They have Dne of the finest cotton seed oil and fertilizer mills connected with a wheat and corn mill and ice* plant in the South. And the success of this institution rests upon that little ( John Wicker who is always as busy, as a bee in a tar bucket. So my i friends, farmers, it is 210 use to con-j Jemn everything that comes around. ( Remember the story of the spider who up the slick wall tried to climb? I He tried once again without counting And every time he stuck fast; He tried onec again without counting, And of course he succeeded at last. T. J. W. Dr Carson in Due West A. R. Presbyterian Dr. Carson of Newberry, S. C., reached Due West last Tuesday and began a meeting that night in the Woman's college. The series of meetings continued through Sabbath night, two services a day. On Sabbath tncrning Dr. Carson preached in the A. R. P. church. All of the other services were held in the Memorial hall and were much enjoyed throughout. Dr. Carson is an able preacher j of the Gospel. On Sabbath night in I the Memorial hall he preached the last sermon before a large audience.j The subject of his sermon was: "The; Love of Christ." This sermon was! treated in a logical and scriptural way and received close attention throughout the discourse. The Doctor declared that love was the greatest LUUVJUg pUUCI 111 til vT- WUilU. UJlllV. touching: incidents were appropriately woven into the discourse. Dr. Carson took occasion at the opening of the sermon to say that he very much enjoyed the privilege of a week's association and fellowship with such a fine body of young people. He appreciated the privilege of being invited to come and conduct this meeting. He wished to congratulate Dr. and Mrs. Robinson and their corps of teachers in tiie nne worK oeing aone at me Woman's college. The institution had his sympathy and he would be glad to speak a word in its favor when ever opportunity presented. He was pleased that the Forward movement was contributing as goodly share as it was toward this institution and that the benefaction was well bestowed. He rejoiced in the success of the college and in the Forward step she is taking in the way of new equipment. Not Much Loquacious visitor: When I get scared my mind becomes a perfect blank. Bored hostess: But there's nothing to be scared about here.?Wayside Tales. His Predecessor The teachcr of the history class asked little Johnny who the "First Man" was. "You remember," she prompted, "he was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.'' "Well, it must have been Adam," said Johnny, "because George Washington married a widow."?Wayside Tales.
