f THE STOllY OF HOME I TOWN PAPER WEEK. (By M. V. Atwood) Once upon a time a country editor 1 fcad a great idea. This is not the first ft great idea which has been evolved in a country print-shop, but most of I these ideas in the past have been of F benefit to some other than the editor. But the idea was to benefit editor 1 as well as the whole community and nation. This was the idea: Why not have a J "home paper week?" We have had every kind of a week from soap to electric cleaners. Taken together, argued the editor. the country newspapers are quite the I most important in the nation, even if judged by numbers; the ten or fifteen thousand of them make the four hun-j dred big city papers and magazines seem inconsiderable, indeed. The reason most folks do not realize the importance of the country newspaper is because they think of| them individually instead of collective! ly; even the Atlantic ocean doesn't J look very impressive when you view! it merely as a cup of water scooped! up at the beach. So this country editor began to talk! about the idea and to write letters to j any one who he thought might be in-( terested. But like all great ideas, it took a long time for it to grow. Finally a company which has done; much to teach country publishers the1 value of system and of knowledge of; costs took it up, as did also the National Editorial Association; then the state colleges of Agriculture saw its possibilities because of the effect 011! community life; another great con-' cern which furnishes thousands of country papers with syndicate news and features became interested; and of course, the publishers' trade journals fell into line. Thus a great chain of interest in "Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week" has been stretched across the country, each of the thousands of country papers of which this paper] is one. a link in the chain. November 7th to 12 are the dates set for "Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week." and all who be' lieve in the home town paper, in its possibilities for helpfulness, for ereat-l ing community solidarity, for the cherishing of the homely and sacred j things of the country, are being asked to help?to help, not because the] country' editor needs charity, but because the country newspaper is a great service agency, dignified, stable, worthy'of every cent which the community invests to make it possible. So you are asked to help make "Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week" the big success it is going to be. If you do not now take your home paper, don't delay subscribing later than the week of November 7 to 12. o DOES IT PAY? Aiken Journal and Review. Some thirty odd years ago a farmer's familv /Ipio'ptfft anH diaan. pointed by crop failures, moved from the little hamlet of Grahams Tournout, now known as Denmark, S. C.. to the city of Augusta, there to bet-j ter their condition. The gentle, hardworking little mother with her large brood of babies strove hard and faithfully to advance her children to the fuller things: of life, and this was a most laudable ambition. One of the children was a red haired bright chap known as 'Gene. This lad fired with ambition soon made strides in the business world of his adopted '"home city. From errand boy he rapidly rose step by step to places of trust and honor, until at length he was selected one of the heads of a thriving bunking institution, standing before his fellows as Eugene Edward Rosborough, Vicepresident of the Merchants Bank, Augusta. But the ambition kindled in boyhood knew not where or when to top. "Take a chance", grew to be his life's one motto. "Forward, higher and higher," whispered unsatls* fled ambition, and ambition, now grown into unholy greed was his undoing. There is such a thing as reaehjng out too fart such a thing, to use anl old fashion saying, as biting off! more than you 'can chew, and Eugene Edward Roseborough did both to his everlasting sorrow. How much better it were to have rested content with moderate success, with comfort and plenty around him than to have let himself become the money mad thing that he was? | It were better, worlds upon worlds * v- better to have even remained the simple, honest red headed 'Gene of old Denmark, who could look the world unhlushingly in the face than to have been Eugene Edward Rosborough, defaulting officer of the largest bank on the globe, a self destroyer and suicide. Does it pay?this wild craving for riches, this insatiable lust for power and the things beyond our reach?is the game of Grab worth the worry? o CELEBRATE 2J5TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrta. C. M. Reaves Entertain Many Friends. A brilliant reception was that tendered by Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Reaves of Proctorville, N. C. on Friday eveny lng, this date being the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding. All decorations used within their lovely brick bungalow carried out most artistically the silver wedding idea, and both these decorations and the music of the evening combined to create a truly nuptial atmosphere. The guests were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Fenegan and were then escorted to the dressing rooms. Receiving In the spacious living room THE DILLON HI were Mrs. J. D. Coker of Rock Hill,I S. C., and Miss Kate McMillan of j Maxton, N. C. Here exquisite ferns i en masse were used as a back ground against which were used urns of long stemmed silver crest in full bloom. Silver crest too in shower bouquets hung from wall baskets against .he delicate draperies of the room. The bride was becomingly attired in black georgette embroidered and beaded in silver, her corsage being composed of Russel roses and valley lillies. In the receiving line with Mr. and Mrs. Reaves stood only members of the immediate family, Mrs. M. A. A. McMillan from Maxton, mother of the bride; Dr. and Mrs. R. L. Reaves I of Florence. S. C.. Rev. and Mrs. J.l A. McMillan'of McColl, S. C.. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Rogers of Mullins, S.| C., Mrs. L. B. Alford and Miss Annie! Reaves of Latta. S. C. The guests were then shown by' Mrs. I. P. Graham and Miss Eliza] Graham into the gift room where, Mrs. W. R. Smith. Mrs. W. H. Dodd and P. P. gmith presided. When each | had registered in the ^bride's silver book, all were invited hv Mrs P P Smith and Mrs. C. C. Fennel into the dining; room. Beside theFrench doors opening into the dining room jardeniers of silver'crest were again used.. From the beautiful electric chandelier lights here show) over a brilliant scene indeed. The bride's table, presenting a cover of hand made Belgian lace, stood Just beneath this chandelier, the center piece being a tall basket of pink carnations mixed with ferns. From the chandelier three graceful ropes of silver were drawn down to the table and tied in lovers' knots; in the spaces between the silver knots gleamed exquisite wax tapers in artistic candle sticks. A buffet supper was served by Misses Jenny Ivey, Maggie Graham and Ada Henley, the favors of the evening were ribbon tied silver rectangles bearing the dates 1896-1921. Many friends and relatives from both North and South Carolina called during the reception hours to extend their congratulations and to wish many returns of the evening to .Air. ana 3irs. Keaves. Their eldest daughter Miss Sallie Mae Reaves, a senior at Oxford College, was at home for the happy occasion. o VELVET BEANS PAY. Lee County Farmer Builds Soil and Increases Yield. As a concrete typical illustration of a man who is improving his soils from year to year and increasing his crop yields, M. P. Harris of Bishopville, S. C.t is an outstanding figure in his community. Mr. Harris bought a farm near Bishopville in >1909. Up to that time the farm had not been growing legumes for soil improvement. The owner had hppn rlPtiPiiHincr moinlv on anmmnr. cial fertilizers for crop production and had not considered the value of other soil treatments that will make the use of commercial fertilizer more profitable. In 1911 Mr. Harris produced 3 2 bales of cotton on 55 acres with 1,300 pounds of fertilizer per acre. The corn yields were about 17 bushels per acre. In the spring of 1914, Mr. Harris dreamed a dream and a vision of the possibilities of the use of legumes in his farm plans,J and he planted one-half of his cultivated acres in com and velvet beans. The other half he planted in cotton. This was the beginning of a better day for him and his farm. Mr. Harris plants his corn in wide rows, somewhat thick in the row, and about one month later plants early speckled velvet beans between the corn rows, using at least one-half bushel of velvet bean seedi per acre. This iB a good method for South Carolina farmers generally, as it permits the corn to get a good start and to be worked out well with the cultivator before the beans begin to wrap it up. Mr. Harris has continued this two year rotation since 1914 and the effect on his crop yields is most satisfactory. In 1919, which was not as good a crop year as 1911 he produced 37 bales of cotton on 25 acres with 600 pounds of fertilizer? less than one-half his former acreage in cotton less than one half fertilizer per acre, but more cotton. His corn yields have also been consistently Increased from 17 to 50 bushels per acre. * In 1920 Mr. Harris averaged two bales per acre, and in 19 21 his cotton has turned out one bale per acre in spite of the fact that he had boll weevils as thick as anybody in Lee county. His fertilizer this year was only 200 pounds of acid phosphate and 50 pounds of soda per acre. County Agent Sanders wants 500 acres of corn land in velvet beans another year and a campaign will be waged the second week in January toward this end. CITATION.
