York, second elder in the Church of Christ and Christian Union in the lit tle Tennessee village of Pall Mall, on the Lone Wolf river, was flanked orx either side at the speaker's table, by Major Gen. George Duncan, who com manded the Eighty-secopd (all American) division, in which York fought, and Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves, commander of the cruiser and transport force of the navy who 'sent him overseas and brought him back." Not only that but a telegram from the Secretary of War was read to him in which Mr. D.mer asked that his "very sincerest regards" be per PERUNA MADE ME WELL Llquia of Tablet Form IN GI ipment of S and good our 7elry WELER, Manning, S.

York eulogized and spoken to that he heard the toastmaster hesitate as he started to introduce the Eighty secorid division's commander as "Ser geant-er--,that is-, Major Gen. Dun can." Sergt. York's Speech. When it came York's turn to stand up and address the diners he showed his modest simplicity: "I guess you all understand that I'm just a soldier and not a speaker," he said. "I'm just a soldier boy-but I want to thank the society and Gen. Duncan, and I want you all to know that what you all have done for me is highly appreciated and I never shall forget it. I thank you very much." . Round of Festivities. Today was one round of festivities for Sergt. York. From morning until long after his "regular bed time" he was hurried about the city in taxi cabs, touring cars and limousines. lie was shunted from one place of inter est and one reception to another un til "eating time" at the Waldorf-As toria gave him a breathing spell. Then he announced modestly, and with no offense intended, that all day long he had wanted to $lo "just one thing get into the subway." "That's one place I sure do want to see," he sighed tonight. At dinner Sergt. York was hailed as the soldier "who has distinguished himself above all men in the war, in the achievement of the greatest indi vidual deed in history." Artist's Opinion. Joseph Cummings Chase, who was sent by the W'ar Department to "paint the portraits of all the generals in the army and Sergt. York," pointed to what a fine thing it is to see "Gen. Duncan sitting beside Sergt. York," and Gen. Duncan said he was proud to have at his side the "most distin I guished soldier the world war has pro duced." "Sergt. York's deeds are of the character that go down in history and make our boys patriots in time of stress," continued Gen. Duncan. "lie is not only a very unpretentious soldier, but an unassuming, modest man. his achievement was the most outstanding act of gallantry, not only that this world war ha:- produced, but that I ever heard of. Ile is not only modest absolutely, but unabashed, un afrid in the presence of any gather ing of the enemy." 'The first words of the German miaior captured by Yo'k when he rounded up 1^2 prisoners in the Ar gonne forest were told by Gen. Dun can: "British ?" asked the German major. "A merican!" said Serpt. York. "Good Lord!" exclaimed the major. lI.'TE TO T'IR' 't(ti SIRE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson College, May 26.-"Just so lone' as our people buy grade and scrub bulls, just so long will live stock lag; and we will have scrubs for our trouble and lose money- in the cattle business," advises W. J. Sheely, animal husbarainian of the Extension Service, who feels that it should be a misdemeanor for a man to offer a bull for sale for breeding purposes unless it is registered. There is a growing demand for good breeding cattle in South Carolina. This de:.mn: has been brought about by the high cost of meat animals and meat products, and by the desire of our people to change into a safe rounded system of farming. The com ing of the cotton boll weevil has has tened this demand for breeders; and the passing out of the tick has left the field clean for good pure-bred cat tl'e all over the State. Some of our breeders are taking ad vantage of this situation and are feed ing and growving out their young stock and furnishing the farmer wvith pure.. bred, wvell-grown animnals that will make goodl. Other clever' men (tradlers and bushwhackers) also have sized up the situation andl have shipped in eulls and infdrior animals andl are sedling them as "pure-bred but not regis tered." 'rhese men are after making money, and they care nothing for the developiment of the livestock industry. Any aimal that carries the color and miarkimgs, these "bushwhackers" wvill claim to be pr-rdbtntrg isteredl." e"pr-rdltioteg It has been shown that when a pure-bred beef bull is used wvith a head of 20 cows the increased value of the first calves at a year 0old will more than pay for a good registered bull. Since the bull is half the herd andl more, it is good business always to select a bull that is bet teir individ uail than the cowvs he is to be bred to. In the same proportion; as the bull is better than the cows, the calves will be better than their moth ers;bu if the' bull is inferior' to the cows, in the same proportion wvill the calves be inferior to their mothers. It follows then that we' can't afrord to use a grade or scrub bull even though he be given tom us; for his calves wvill be too inferior and scrubby to (eat good grain amnd high pr-iced feed. The death knell has been soundedl to scrub and grade bulls. Several counties have already Put on vigorous campaigns t-, this effect. Others will get into line rapidly; and lie who of fers such bulls fo'r sale is not true to the best interests of the cattle busi 'ness andl is open to criticism and con dlemnation by all fairminded men who want to see real advancement in more and better livestock in the South. Own a registeredl pur'e-bredl bull or none. NOTICE OF D)ISCHIARGE. I will apply to the Judge of Pro bate for Cl arend on County, on the 16th (lay of June, 1919, at eleven o'clock A.
