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.

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?

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.

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.
