Ellis Bethei Methodist church was given over to Che Junior Missionary Society, under the capable leadership of Mrs. Jule F.

The following program was carried out: Song: "Publish glad tidings." Bible lessons: "Christ r friend to children," Msyy LeGette. "Christ a friend to Foreign Born," Sarah Henry. Prayer Recitation, Josephene Major aim Flor^pce Manning. Song, "Tell it again." Recitation: Margaret Bethea. -Sentence prayers by the Juniors. "The changed cro3ses", by ten girls.

This was done by Mis3 Manning in a clear-cut way, which was educating as well as very entertaining to those present. o Sweet Potato MatVels. 1 C. E. Collins in the Dearborn Independent, Ford's paper, has an article on the by-products of the sweet pota|to that will open the eyes of even '.those who are' on close speaking terms with "sweet spuds" and wh? think they know all about them. "In jthe variety of its by-products," says the article, "the sweet potato is a rival of coal tar. It is being found a: mystic maze of usefulness and if one: is to judge oT ^ts possibilities in the light of developments in other pro ducts, the chemist has little mot! , than scratched the surface." ] First the chemist can make feir i .kinds of flour and four kinds of nval , front the potato,'which can be uied i any oiaer meat or nour. 'lien' | he extracts a syrup that is very de- h Jlicious, and while you are tasting >f it, ^ he produces sweet potato vingar! i There is shoeblacking a very good | blacking, too. There are five kids of [library paste, and starch; ttere is, mock cocoanut, four kinds of breakfast food, gingerized potato, ^k, two j grades of "coffee" one of wbch is of ? the 'instant vanlety, two gr.des" of "tapioca, one of which is *so made l while you wait. Stock tooi is made f from this wonder potato ad niolass- t es. There are 14 kinds o' wood fillers and between 40 a-d 50 dyes(t ranging from black aid orange t through all the intermeoate shades. Even a very good gradeof rubber is 1 pioduced. All these prducts have been tested and have sood the test, 1 and not least interestig is the factjf that the experiments which have r produced the amazinr list of possibilities of the sweet ptato have been s carried on by negro scientists, at TuBkegee institute, ^abama.

I Senator " L>. Bethea does not regard the cc ting of the boll weevil as a great calamity. Senator Bethea ] says it wil take a year or two, for the county to djust itself to new conditions, am during that time we have got to ernomize, but after all the . boll wee 1 may be a blessing in dis- J 'guise. " e 'are not going to starve," ,added S iator Bethea. "You can make (two foo crops here in six months and If ever- ody will raise plenty of food and' gi J close attention to a garden .it will not be necessary for us to spend nuch money. Six years ago I realiz 1 that the coming of the boll . jweev wag as certain as death and I I (bcga to experiment with other crops. I ha ? cut my cotton acreage down fron last year and it will he no trouble ?r me to reduce to a few acres to the ?low next year." Senator Bethea ithi'cs that after the Dillon county faner has wrestled with the boll W( vil a year or two he will ha oWo _____ ? ?w?ev o c " Itoiold his own. He says the Dillon C( nty farmer is a man of great re8circefulne88 and ig much better euipped In every way to meet and oercome the weevil than most of his.g l other fanners in other parte of the! ountry. "At a recent meeting of fax-! ere in Columbia," continued Senator! lethea, "I heard a big farmer from he low country say that he made last ear a bale to the acre right in the nidst of the boll weevil territory. He managed to do thi8 by pushing the ultivation of his cotton, making his lands ilck up every form as It fell nd keying big cotton clean. His fas indistrlous neighbors made pracically nothing. This means that hard rork aid plenty of it will enable us o make some sotton. I do not. howver, adtlse any farmer to plant more! ottos tiat he can keep clean ouad| m MUUD.

Hamer, presiHont nf Ihp S P CnHnn Aoonrtlq41pm notifying him that he had made arrangements with Mr. Carl Williams a well-known public speaker, to address the farmer8 of Dillon on September 8th or 9th on the subject of cooperative marketing. The exact date will be announced next week. Mr. Williams is president of the( Southern Cotton Growers Exchangfe and was the man who organized the cotton growers of Oklahoma into a cooperative marketing association which is regarded as the smoothest working and most effective association of the kind in the south. Mr. Williams haB had wonderful success in othar states and counties. He will not nuke many talks in South Carolina and Dillon is fortunate in being one of the few counties to secure him. He is a fluent and pleasant speaker, krows his subject thoroughly. is a cotton producer himself, knows tha ups and downs of farm life and will have something worth while to tell the farmers of Dillon county. The next issue will give tlic date of his coning. o County Dairy Meetings. jor the past few weeks we have be<n looking around for something to take the place of our cotton crop f<r another year. For those that are interested we think dairying will '.elp solve the problem, so we have decided to hold two dairy meetings in the county next week.
