THE BLOOD.
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

How many vegetables have you '
planted in your fall garden? 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.!

WEATHKK DAMAGES COTTON
Warelioust' Commissiunor lliver* Offers
Some Wholesome Advice.
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

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. The army held
Riverside team to a 0 score, wliilf
they walked away with 38 points
Colonel Pearson and Captain T.ee did
fine work for the army. Each Riverside
player was penalized two weeks
or 10-5.'
The churches had a number ol
visitors of the Riverside and OaK

likely that Dillon will lead the entire
