REV. McCOWlCHIRMANT FOR CLARENDON COUNTY Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14.-Rev. L. B. McCord, well known minister of Man ning, South Carolina, has been ap Pointed chairman of the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November 2-11, for Clarendon County it was announced ;y authorities at the southern head - uarters of the American Red Cross today. The Third Red Cross Roll Call will be a nation-wide drive, participated in by the men and women of America without regard to differences of class or creed, for the sum of $15,000,000 'id for 20,000,000 members. The sou .crn division's quota for the five pites of Georgia Tennessee, Florida, .orth Carolina and South Carolina is $7>:'.000 and for 2,000,000 members. While it is the confident belief of Red Cross leaders that the nation will respond readily to the plea for $15, 000,000, they are ever more confident that every man, woman and child to whom the appeal is made will not fail to give the dollar thas makes him a member of the greatest humanitarian organization the world has ever known. The Red Cross, state directors of the campaign, comes before the American people with a proud record of service to their soldiers and sailors in the world war, a record which deserves ,the acclaim of every American and which has received the indorsement of every man in blue or khaki who saw it in the making. Its war work nearly over, the Red Cross has come home to its own people to ask that they support it in its plans to do for America the same thing that it has done for America's fighting men and for the suffering peoples of Europe. The money that is raised in this camnaign will be devoted only in small part to finishing the administra t;on of the relief supplies which the United States government has en trusted to the Red Cross to distribute nnmg the stricken -populace of the Balkans and other small European na tions. The major portion of it will be used to carry on the peace-time arogram of the Red Cross, which will be directed toward making America a cleaner, safer, happier country for all Americans. Community nursing, pIrevention of disease, building up of nublic health and a host of other bene ficent ideas are included in the plans of the Red Cross for the future. The Third Roll Call will make possible the fulfillment of those plans and in sutre the successful maintenance of the great machine that has been built un during the war for war nurposes ;n0 will now be devoted solely to the activities of peace. 0 KEEP UP THE COUNTRY ROADS Good country roads are an absolute necessity for the farmer. Good roads attract travel and increase farm valies very materially. The finest kin-I of a farm located on a bad road is severely handicappi. To begin with, the cost of transportition from the farm to town is a heavy:drain on the farmer. It is also true that few, if any farms located in a wilderness eve: sell for a good price. Isolated farms are not worth tne money that farms located in a well settled farm ing community will bring. A good country road past the farm is the key to the situation. County authorities in the Southeast sadly neglect their duty in regards to country road improvements. They seem to work on a theory that if a trail was good enough for grandfather I Here are Deservedl --There are certain p)oints re sold at the same low price the N~ they first make their appearanc mark is unconditionally guarante here but a few days after their o these unapproachable values pos: Trhis Whe D. H The Big Store on the it A. good enough for the people of today. Here is where energetic far mers can set an example. In many of the corn belt States of the Middle West farmers regularly drag and work -the roads past their farms without cost to the county. They appreciate the. fact th t a good road past the farm is a dividend payer. This idea was suggested to a bunch of farmers in a certain South Carolina county not long ago who answered, in effect, that they paid their taxes and it was up to the county to keep the roads in shape. Of course hit is true,'but the county in question is not doing it, and neither are the farmers, and who suf fers the most? A very little work on a clay road will keep it in a good condition. Any farmer can make a split-log drag and with the mules or the tractor, or the automobile, run up and down the road past his place a few times when it' be gins to dry out after a\rain. The drag will fill up the ruts and smooth the surface of the road nicely. We have seen it done a thousand of times and know that it can be done with very little effort and -ht very little ex pense. The farmer who follows this practice for a short time will soon have people talking about him. He' will note travel increasing past 'ins farm. He will be stamped as a progressive busi ness farmer and his vicinity will be looked upon as most desirable than other sections where the roads go un cared for. In some communities farmers turn out together and improve the roads in their neighborhood. It would be a fine thing if the governors in the South eastern States would set aside two or three days at different times of the year to be designated as road improve nient days, during which the farmers and townspeople in different sections could join hands and drag and grade their roads and repair bridges with lumber furnished by tne gounty. No one would question the Deiiefit to the farmer of constructive effort on this order. --- o DON'T OVERLOOK POULTRY A big mistake that many live stock farmers in this section are making is that they are almost totally overlook ing poultry raising on the stock form. No stock farm is complete without poultry where there is an abundance of feed of all kinds that is wasted by livestock that can be readily harvest ed by the chickens. Give them the run of the farm and a good bunch of laying hens will net a handsome profit to the farmer. Lit tle or no feed needs to be purchased for then during the most of the year. Chickens are the greatest foragers known and they enjoy shifting for themselves. Fresh eggs will probably go to $1.00 per dozen next winter or high er. Dressed poultry is likely to aver age from fifty to sixty cents per lb. With this prospect, what more can the farmer ask. Especially when his wife and children can give the chick ens such care as they will need. Re member that when it comes to produc ing profit on the farm, the old hen be longs in the same class with the old Sow. We might add that there are scrub chickens just the same as. there is scrub live stock, and that it only pays to keep breeds and strains of proven merit.

"For a long time," he continued, "my stomach was in such an awful fix that I could not eat hardly any thing without being in misery after wards. Even the lightest foods would bloat me up with gas and I was con stantly belching up sour, undigested food that at times would almost choke me. Often I would get so dizzy that I" would almost fall, and I would get so nervous that it was al most impossible for me to - rest at night. I suffered agony from rheuma tism and I was in such a wretched condition generally that I was hardly fit for a thing. "After trying nearly everything I could hear of, I took Tanlac, and it has made a different man'of me. My appetite is splendid now, my nerves are steady, I sleep like a log at night. I have gained eight pounds in weight and am in better condition than I have been in years." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; H. W.

Hogs don't thrive on either mud or sand. There is no nourishment in either. Not long ago we visited a hog farm at feeding time. The herdsman had a good bunch of well bred hogs in the lot squealing for their rations. He -brought out a quantity of shelled corn and threw it broadcast in dry sand, deep enough to stall an automobile. The hogs were obliged to root around in the sand, getting a mouthful with each grain of corn. We protested and were told that the hogs were used to it and that it would do them no harm. This is all wrong. Sand is not a fit diet for hogs and the swine grower who persists in mixing it with his feed need not be surprised if he loses a good hog now and then. If you haven't a good hard dirt lot or a grass plot that you can feed up on, build a tight board floor, or better still, a concrete feeding floor, and' keep it clean, especially at feeding time. Hogs are not naturally filthy ani mals. They will enjoy cleanliness if their owners gives them a chance and they will readily respond physicially to good sanitary conditions.
