6 TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE. h / 'I Bone Wm a Hero and Soldier Show- I ed Appreciation. Ill mp;2- ' ? 1 The auctioneer glanced at his book, p "Number 29'', he said, "blaclft mare,1 n aged, blind in near eye. otherwise k bound." |S The cold rain and the biting north- g east wind did not add to the appear- g ance of Number 29, as she stood, de- n jected listless with head drooping in S the center of the farmers and horse- s dealers who were attending the sale s Of cast off army horses. She looked as a though she realized that her day had c waned and that the bright steel work, fc the soft well greased leather, the If cnowy head-rope, and the shining o Curb were to be' put aside for less Boble trappings. She had a curiously shaped white blase, and I think it was that, added -; to the description of her blindness, i] ' which stirred my memory within me. ? j\y, J dosed my eyes for a second and It r all camd back to me me, the gun stuck c i In the mud, the men straining s.t the ^ wheel the shells bursting, the reek * of high explosive, the two leaders ly- '' tng dead on the road, and, above, all, * two gallant horses doing the work of 1 .four and pallln- till you'd- think f their hearts would burst. 1: I stepped forward and, looking c closer at the mare'* neck found what I had expected, a great scar. That settled it. I approached the auctioneer and asked p ^mission to speak to the : .crowd for a few moments. "Well," said he, "I'm supposed tor do the talking here, yOu know.'' ' * "It won't do, you any harm," I * pleaded, "and it will give me a chance to pay off a big debt." "Right," be said, stalling; -"carry n." "Gentlemen," I said, "about this time a year ago I was commanding u ' 'a betterv in France. It was during ? ~ the bad days, and we were felling j? back with the Huns pressing hard L upon us. My guns had been firing all1 a the morning from a sunken road, when we got orders to limber up and get back to a rear position. We hadn't had a bad time till then, a few odd shells, but nothing that was meant specially for our benefit. And then, _ Just 'as we were getting away, they spotted us, and a battery openfd on ns good and strong. By a mixture * of good luck and great effort we'd got all the guns away, but one, when a * shell landed just in front of the lead- * ers and Ipocked them both out with ? their driver; at the same time the ? gun?was jerked off the road into a ? t muddy ditch. Almost simultaneously another shell killed one of the wheel- tl \ ers, and there we were with one horse left to get the gun out of the ditch / . asd along a road that was almost as , bad as the ditch. ? fc "It looked hopeless, and it was on ^ . the tip of my tongue to give orders to r abandon the gun, when suddenly out b of the blue there appeared on the n . Hftnlr fthnvA lis ?. horse, lookine un-i_ concernedly down at us. g ^ "In those days, loose horses were j straying all over the eountry, end I c took' this, to be one from another i battery which had come to us for j company. "I turned to one.of the men. "Catch ft that mare quick.' o "In a few minutes we had the n harness off the deed wheeler and on <j the new-comer. PulJ? Gentlemen, If i you could have 8een"those two horses ti i>ull! t "We'd Just got e move on the gun when another shell came and seemed t! v (to burst right on top of the strange t: mare. I heard a terrified squeal, and b through the smoke I saw her stagger J and with a mighty effort recover her- ii self. I run round and saw she'd been badly bit over the eye and had a || great tearing gash in the neck. We 1 never thought she could go on, but i she pulled away Just the same, with the blood pouring off her, till finally we got the gun off and down the road 1 to safety. < Kt "I got knocked out a few minu- t tea later, and from that day to this t I've often Wondered what had hap- 1 . penef to the mare that had served us 1 r, so gallantly. I know now. There she * f stands before you. I'd know her out ' of-' of a thousand by the tehlte blaze; ? a?d if there was a doubt there's her j| blind eye and the scar on her neck. ? "That's all. gentlemen; but I'm goins to ask the man who buys her to remember her story and to see that ' her last days are not too hard." She fell at a good price to a splen- g did type of West Country farmer and ^ the auctioneer whispered to me, "I'm tj ? glad old Carey's got" her. There's not . $ a man in the county who keeps his jj horses better." j S "Old Carey'' came up to me as we j n-* were moving off. "I. had a son in J;. JYance," he said, "in the gunners, & too. but he hadn't the luck of the old v | mare"?he hesitated a moment and I his old eyes looked steadily into mine a g ?"for he'll never come back. The n pr " tttere'll be all right sir/' he went on ti as hg walked off, "easy work and d fall rations. I reckon she's earned * v them." ? f o THE TOBAOCO HORN WORM. ? Clemson College. Juije 22. ? Rel ports from tobacco growers indicate ' ??frnnhla thin RAMnn from WJISlucmwic ?vu>.v v vu kom worms. The following suggestions for control of these pests is made by R. E. Currin, Superintendent of the Pee Dee Experiment Station, in Extension Bulletin 43, ToIbaeco Culture in South Carolina, jrhlch may be had upon,application. .When the worms make their first appeafance, the tobacco is usually small and they are easily poisoned, or If not too numerous may be picked off by hand. The arsenical sprays or powders are the best means for controlling these pests. Without this control measure very little tobacco conld be raised in South Carolina. Before the use of poisoas became general fields of tobacco were entirely destroyed by these worms. Arsenate of lead either es a spray i or In powdered form is considered j the best poison to use. Paris green Is apt to burn the leaves if applied too heavily in the dry form. Arsenate j of lead in the powdered form ad-' eres to the leaves better than does toris green in the same form, fsually, one pound of either of these a dry form is sufficient for one acre. t used in the form of spray, one ound to 40 or 50 gallons of water lay be UBed, if care is taken to eep the solution well agitated, praying apparatus and dry powder uns are for Bale in all tobacco rowing sections. Use the control lethods as often as necessaft. pedial pains must be taken to detroy the first crop of worms, as by 0 doing much trouble may be voided in controlling the second rop'of worms. If the tobacco maures as it should, however, most of 1 will be harvested before the sccnd crop of worms appears. 0 Help of Citizens Solicited. The tobacco- buyers will be down i a few weeks aftd the? must have ome place to sthy. Work is being ushed on the hdtel but it will not be ompleted when the- season opens, myone having rooms they can rent or six or eight weeks,ere asked to et me know at once. This is a mater in which everybody should be inerested and I hope I wlM have the ooperation of every citizen of Dillon a providing som? place for the tobaco men to stay. A. V. Bethea.
