A little girl, whose father was a djwinkard, was sent out one night to gwt beer for her father. She heard some singing in a tent. She stopped to hear and was scolded and threatened with a beating if ever she did that way again. Some nights later ??he was sent for more beer. Stopping t 5ust a little while, as she at firBt thought, and becoming very deeply interested in what the preacher was saying about Jesus shedding his blood to take away sin, before the little girl thought about it, some time had passed. She hurried home with the beer to be met at the door by the Xr father, to kicked down stairs by the the drunken brute. In falling she was so badly hurt thaht the doctor was sent for, but he could only tell them that the little girl was beyond medical help. When told that she must die, she asked for the little Arrss on which she had shed hei I ? "Wlood while lying on the foot of the ?/ Affairs. M'nen c&:nng ior tne scissors cut t>ut a piece saturated with ^pr?d, clasped it in her hand, say4rx when she went to Jesus she |would show Him the cloth with hei ilfes blood and tell him she died foi r Him. Surely the dear little child, with her simple faith aDd crude understanding of the way pt life, was ad mitted into heaven. But what about t the poor wretch who hadt murdered t his child.?D. W.

Re- ' member November has almost pass- < ed; so consult your garden calen-1 dars if you have failed to do it before. Yon will see that you can sow lettuce and early varieties of cabbage and that lettuce and strawberry plants can be set out. Plant out asparagus roots. Plant English peas. Let us bear in mind that chicks hatched now will be the early spring fryers. South Carolina does not really produce enough chickens and eggs for its own use. We get large supplies from North Carolina and Tennessee. We have the market, but not the production. Whv not- nrodueo for market? Let's do our part in producing: more chickens and eggs in Dillon county and let's begin now. Butter is a more marketable prod-: net when wrapped in a good quality of parchment paper. The quality' of the paper is an important factor I in making a marketable product,' ; if the paper is of strong enough texture to stand the wear and tea. If i it sticks to the butter, it is hard to get off and makes a very unsatis-i factory nroduct. After the hotter is! jwrapped in pood parchment paper it, should be enclosed in a paraffined coated carton. This will help the! butter in shape, protect it from ex- \ posure to dirt, and makes it easily 1 handled- Hutter paper and cartons can be secured at a very low cost.! | Write Demonstration Agent for prices. i Keep in mind the date for the op-: ening of the market?the first Sat-' urday in March.

In a statement recently issued by Thomas \V. Tanner, specialist in cotton marketing, with the l\ S. Department of Agriculture has the following to say: "A series <?f experiments conducted recntly by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates have shown that a hah of cotton placed out in lie- open, flat on the ground with no covering was damaged to the extent of 370 pounds at. the end of eight months Another bale placed on edge with no further attention, los lt'.T irwmii: ,-i Diii? i?ii 'ii ^ i aim t ni'ii over once .1 week, lost 11" pounds. A bale on timbers off tie mound and turned over <mo<' a week, lost 40 pounds, and a bale placed on timbers and covi ; d with tarpaulin lost but 14 pounds. A warehouse bale of cotton during the same period lost on1} 1 pound. In traveling over tin different counties ol my district Florence, Marion, Horry, Dillon and Williamsburp, I found hundreds and hundreds of hales out in tin open. Very often I stop and ask tin- farmer why he lets his cotton remain out in the open. His reply generally is that it rost too much to store it. IP- does not realize that it is costing him seve-al times more to keep lis cotton out in the open than it would cost to store it in st warehouse At the present price of cotton a farmer can store his cotton on his own plantation for something less than $1.75 per bale pet* year. That is if he places his war dionse mulct the State Warehouse System. Or he can take his cotton ; > a town warehouse and he storage will be something like $6.00 per year. In either case it would be a great saving to the farmer. Storage includes inait non It is estimated that in on" season alone the damage to the cotton front exposure to weather is .$70,000,000 Very truly yours, J. C. WILLIAMS, State Cotton Grader, Lake City, S. C. o Clemson Xotes. It seems that Clemson has not beer able to put out. a winning foot-bal team this year, but she sure d'd pul out a bountiful Thanksgiving din nor Sunday. Due to the fact that a large number of permits were issued for Thursday the regular Thanksgiving dinner was served Sunday. Everything that a person could wish for was had in abundance. After dinner, all ol (ho cadets were supplied with cigarettes, cigars, fruit and assorted nuts The "Riverside" foot ball game played several Sundays ago, was a complete walkover.
