I wish every farmer of our county and every housekeeper could have at: tended the' three days demonstration work which was given at the court house .ast Thursday and Friday and Saturday. The addresses on general agriculture, corn #lanting, fertilizing, heg raising, and the practical demon strations in canning and preserving fruits and vegetables, drying vege tables, cream separating; butter mak ing, the preserving of eggs, etc., were very instructive. We are not taking advantage enough of the opportunities which the general government at Washington, through the Agricultural Department, and our own State government, through Clemson College, are placing at our disposal, and absolutely free to us. Our national government has realized that if America is to be the greatest and richest country in the world, she must develop agriculture, as the prosperity of every country and every people is based upon this. Our wealth, practically all of it, comes out of the ground, and the greater part of it through the means of farming, or some form of agriculture, whether it be by raising corn, or poultry, or dairy products, and the government has long since learned this. Therefore, the government is how spending millions of dollars every year, in experiments, and demonstra tion work, for the benefit of the agri cultural interests, because all the other interests of the country are de pendent upon it. The government is bringing these opportunities to keep us, right to our own doors, if we willingly take advantage of them. I did not attend all of the sessions during the entire three days, but I got enough' out of it to satisfy me that the convention, or session, what ever you choose to call it, was a great opportunity for the farmers and housekeepers of Clarendon county. There were many who attended, es pecially, the girls clubs, but the old est farmer would have been benefitted. There were quite a number of the government experts in their respect ive lines, and various superintendents here. Miss Katherine M. Richardson, our own eflicient and untiring superintend ent of the county girls clubs, was ac tive at all times, and had in attend ance 79 of her girls from different parts of the county. She is doing a great work among these girls and learning them many practical things in domestic science. She is teaching them practical lessons in canning, and preserving, and drying vegetables, and sewing, and housekeeping, and cooking, and butter making, and such things, and in short that there is something else in life besides having a passing acquaintance with Bulmer Lytton and Augusta Evans and other novel writers. In short she is bring ing up a crop of first-class wives and mothers in Clarendon county. During the three (lay session Mr. P. H. Senn, the new County Demon stration Agent, was active and cour teous, and he has begun a fmne wvork in the county. Then Mr. C. A. Mc Faddin, our own Allan, whose wvorth in this dlemonstration work has been recognized by the Agricultural De partment to the extent of making him District Agent over 15 counties in South Carolina was here andl giving valuable help. - Mr. L. W. Neill, wvho wvas formerly a State superintendent of education in Alabama, and now super-visor of boys work over fifteen States, was here andl marle an address which it wvouldl have profiled V .eve .a in the county to hear. lur. L. L. Baker, the State superin tendent of the Bloys' P'ig Club, wvas also present and gave some valuable instruction in hog raising, slaughte ing, preparing for market, etc. Mr. D. D. Elliott, of Orangeb~urg, dlairy expert, wvas p~rL:sent and1 gave instructions in cow feeding, cream separating, butter making, and such like. Mrs. Dora D. Walker, of Appeton, assistant State agent in the woman's work, was present andl gave lessons in the newv process of drying vege tables, pickling, jelly making and things in this line. Miss Richardson also had with her Miss Willie May Wise, of Newberry county, the demonstration agent of that county, who gave lessons in cooking andl bread making, out of peanluts, etc. Then there was also Miss Annie M. McLendon, the agent for Florence county, who is an ex pert in bread making and cooking. Miss Janie Coleman of St. George, the county agent for Dorchester, gave valuable instructions in canning and preserving. The poultry question was also a prominent part of the work, and there was present Mr. C. C. Cleveland, the Withrop and Clemson poultry ex pert who gave instructions In rais ing poultry and a p-roacta demon water: giass,~ a simple and, inexpenF~lve, process. . There were 79 girls who attended, and were entertained in the homes of the people of Manning, and the three day meeting was a profitable and pleasant occasion for all who attend ed.' When they have their meeting again next year I hope our people will take more advantage of the great opportunity offered them. This meet ing was a success. In these war times which w are passing through and will have to pass through for the next few years our people will need to learn all they can about' such things as were taught here last week. We should take advantage of these opportunities. The young men will have to do the fighting, but there are many of us too old to fight, and it is our duty to look after the domes tic and .production end of the line while our country is' in tr9uble. THANKS THE PUBLIC. We, the Home and Farm Demon stration Agents of Clarendon County, desire to express our appreciation and thanks to all the people of the town and county wiio so kindly and gra ciously helped in the many ways in making the Demonstration Short Course a success. Without your help and cooperation this course could not have been possible. Katherine M. Richardson, Home Demonstration 'Agent. P. Ii. Senn, Farm Demonstration Agent. RED CROSS RETURNS SHOW $35,000,000 Subscriptions Pouring in So Rapidly Tabulators Cannot Keel) Pace With Them. SOUTH SHOWING UP WELL Generous Subscriptions Pouring in From Cities Having Large Ger man Populations. Washington, June 19.-Incomplete reports to American Red Cross head quarters here tonight show more than $35,000,000 subscribed during the first two days of the week's campaign to raise $100,000,000 for war relief. Hun dreds of communities had not been heard from but from others subscrip tions poured in so rapidly that tabu lations could not keep pace with them. Several great individual donations helped to swell the total today, but the Red Cross war council expects later reports to include a great multi tude of small donations from people of moderate means. Tonight's total did not include the contributions of many small city or town communities, particularly in the West, where it is said local campaign committees plan to withhold their to tals until late in the week in the hope of avoiding too optimistic a spirit. New York City's total was nearing the $20,000,000 mark, with $1,000,000 contributions from J. P. Morgan and G. F. Baker. To Fight Tuberculosis. A single pledge of $10,000,000 has been given the wvar council tentatively for use in fighting tuberculosis in France. The name of the contributor w~as not made p~ublic.

F~ollow this Manning citizen's advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you. W. R. White, grocer, S. Boundary St., says: "I suffered from kidney trouble for years. I had to get up very often (luring the night to pass the kidney secretions and they were highly colored and conta ined sedi iment like brick-dust. I suffered constantly fronm backaches and sharp pains across my loins. I could hardly turn in bed and( mornings my back was so lame andl sore that it was diflcult for me to dress myself. Nothing~ helped me until I got Doan's Ki(dIney Pills. After using one box, my back didn't ache any more and the lame ness and soreness had all disapp~eared. I dlon't have to spet up now to pass the kidney secretions and~ am feeling twenty years younger." Always Reliable.
