The week, officials of the Association say, will go down in the records as a week marking a complete revolution in the agricultural and commercial life of South Carolina. "Victory Week" will be the whirl wind round-up campaign for membership in the associaiton and hundreds of farmers will work day and night to sign up the necessary number ol bales to make the contract operative. 1 Dver 100,000 bales of cotton are ex- ^ sected to be signed up next week. Marlboro county is now leading the ;tate in the number of bales signed, ' laving passed the 30,000 bales mawk * ast Thursday. E. Wallace Evans, a he county chairman, says that 40,- ^ 00 ables will be signed up in that 0 ounty. Darlington is second with t 1,000 bales and Calhoun is third s rith 19,500 while Sumter is a close p lurth with 18,5C0 bales. These four " sunties promise a total sign-up -of p 00,000 bales by May 1. Great headway was made in the iedmont section of the state last eek, there having been great activity , that section. Over 20,000 bale* te p ere reported in one day from Pi^dont counties. During the week any of the most prominent farmers the Piedmont section affixed theii rnature>to the contract, including ?v ch men as Jas. R. Anderson of An- a "son; H. L. Watson, G. G. Dowling d J. C. Purkinson of Greenwood . F. Efird and Son of Lexington: R. mm Gray of Gray Court; W.'A. Moore- ^ ad of Goldville and others. Mr. sorehead is president of the Banna tton mills at Goldville. In a statement issued Saturday trry G. Kaminer, president of th<sociation, said: MJ 'It is the ambition of every man to ider some service to his state aur- 1 : his life time.

MUST STEPS IN BEEKEEPING. . Olemson College, April 3.?Farmers J in various parts of the state are giving j greatly increased attention to bees at a source of home honey supply and i supplementary income, and many inquiries for information are being received by the Extension Service bee specialist, who makes the following suggestions for beginners. The first step.?The first step ir beekeeping is to learn something about it. and this is accomplished by readng and studying bulletins and books on th^ subject, by visiting bee-1 keepers of experience and studying their methods, by working in a beeyard under the directions of a successful beekeeper, and by working with one's own bees. The time to strat.?The best time to start is in the spring when the bees have before them the entire summer to build up into strong colonies. Good standard hives, such at are now used by successful bee-keepers, should be ready before the bees are obtained; and there should be provided a bee-smoker, a bee veil, and a hive tool or good strong pocket knife. Where to get bees.?First, bees may be obtained by purchasing good bees in standard frame hives from some neighbor, these to be moved at the ^ propel time to the desired location. Second, bees may be iran.viei red from some available bee tree in the woods to a standard movable frame hive. Third, bees may be purchased by the ^ pound on frames with queen. A com] mon practice in this state :s to transfer bees from old logs or trees to the movable frame hives with such portions of the brood comb as may be Tittde readily int.) Ui-t 01 cod frames >f the new hives. * t Faults of wild bees.?Frequently v >ees found in wild bee trees are black r >ees. These generally have temper t nd will sting 01*slightest provocation, j "hey also lack courage and are poor lefenders of the hive in distress. On he whole, therefore ,they are unatisfactory bees; but they can l5e imroved greatly and easily by requeen-' lg them after they have settled down roperly into the new hive. Information on transferring, prevenon of swarming, and requeening is iven in Information Cards, 8, 9, and Si ), which may l^p had from the Exnsion Service, Clemson College, S. 1 y * ' J imm WAS BUXYAX A GYPSY?

John dex j scribed himself as a tinker who trav> j eled arcund the country in search of j jobs. Contemporary literature depicts the tinker's craft as disreputable, but discrimination must bo used to distinguish between the vagrant and the steady handicraftsman. Bun yan wrote, "My descent was of a low and inconsiderable station, my father's house b?ing of that rank that is meanest andjmost despised of all the families of the land It has been generally believed that if he wis not entirely of gypsy oxtracI tion, h had some gypsy blood in his veins. Sir Walter Scott was disposed to favor the opinion that the Banyans, j "though reclaimed and settled, may j have scrung from the gypsy tribe." j A writer who took exception to thisj opinion said that there was nothing of the gypsy about Bunyan. for he is described as having been "tall ol istature, strong-boned, with sparkling eyes, wearing his hair on the upper j lip after the old British fashion, hi: hair reddish, but in his later days sprinkled with gray, his nose well cut ! his mouth not too large, his forehead ' something high and his habits always J plain and modest." There is more of the Saxon than the Zingari in that description, as appears j also from the portraits of Bunyan. Another argument opposed to the ' i gypsy theory is that the register in the | parish where Bunyan was born shows! that the family had been settled in | Bedfordshire for a long time, and some of them were persons of property and in a position above the class suggested ' by the term "gypsy." Besides, gyp- * sies at the time of Bunyan were ill in ' Tavor in England, and thoy were much 1 persecuted as undesirables, which the 1 Plintro v? i 1 ?? ? " uunjiau xAiiuiv serins not to nave 3een. I c To refute the point of view of Bun- * 'an having been a gypsy other writ- 2 srs take the parish register and copy a heerfrom a long list of Bunyahs who 1 /ere baptized, held estates and were 1 parried at least two centuries before ,J he time of the "Tinker of Bedford ail."* They say that this disproves * tie theory that Bunyan may have had a ypsy blood in his veins. They also "F ffirm that the long existence of the r ame in the county "effectually dis- 1)1 oses of the supposition that the Bun- Jl ' 'id. ?? tl" ins fcrere gypsies."

WOODROW WILSON* FOUNDATION APPEAL TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The schools and colleges are called upon to assist in raising South Carolina's quota of $30,000 to the Woodrow Wilson1 Foundation. The appeal should be particularly strong to the school boys and girls of this state, because Mr. Wilson spent a part of his school days in South Carolina. It is not the amount contributed which counts so much as the number of individuals who show interest by giving even small amounts. If the lverage contribution from the school children of the state were as much as :en cents their obligation would be 'ully met. I It is proposed to raise one million lollars as a permanent Foundation. Vith the income from this Foundation Lwards will be made to individuals .nd groups who have rendered disinguished service "to Democracy, ublic welfare, liberal thought, 01 eace through justice." Governor Cooper is the Chairman of he Foundation in South Carolina, nd writes me thus in regard to it: "It seems to me the purpose of this oundation ought to appeal to every erson who believes in peace through istice. By this means it is hoped lat we may kep constantly before le American Public the ideals for hich Mr. Wilson stood during the eatest crisis of the World's history. . gives an opoprtunity to every in-; vidual to contribute some amount , id thereby become a charter member this Foundation."
