They scattered everywhere, making no effort to reassemble. I wondered then, and still do, what that was all about. When I was grown I was sitting dreamily on the front steps on a 4th of July afternoon. For years we had had the largest black ants there I have ever seen before or since. They were fully a half-inch or more long. They were always busy, but • bothered nothing. And you could see them anywhere you looked in the yard. On this afternoon I noticed they were all fighting. You didn’t see just one anywhere. It was invariably j Everywhere I’ve been in the cat- (two or more j[ n a death grapple.

Polite Child Makes More Poised Adult The child who learns his manners earty is likely to grow into a less self-conscious teen-ager and a more poised adult. The best way to teach him, Selma Robinson believes is the good example of his parents. In Mc Call’s she lists some of the marks of the well-mannered child: “Certainly the best school for teaching children manners is the ex ample of his own parents. If he sees Father pull out Mother’s chair at table and wait until Mothers lifts her fork before eating, if he sees Mother rise when an older person comes into the room and allow the older person to go through a door first—if he watches such small cour tesies at home daily he will make them his own. “The well-mannered child says, “How do you do, Mrs. Smith,” when introduced to Mother’s friend, look ing directly into the eyes of the stranger and shaking hands. He (and all this goes for small girls too) holds -the door open for adults and allows them to go through first. He says thank you for the gift before unwrapping it, though it takes much self-control to wait. “He rises when a grownup enters the room. Then the considerate ' grownup greets the children and | suggests that they go on with their ; play. He comes to the door with his hat in his hand, whether it’s his town home or a home he is visiting. Ho knocks at a closed door and asks if he may come in, for he has been taught to respect privacy. He tells friend’s mother, “Goodbye, I’ve had a lovely tme.” His pleasant mfi%* ners make him an attractive guest who will be invited again.” * TmTiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiii inuiuni^ I Hornsby & Thomas | General Contracting 318 West Main St. — Phone 377-M Before you trade to build a new home, see us.

How long will we allow the life- giving water, that the Almighty is sending coursing through our streams, to go on to waste down its ancient channels to the sea, while crops parch and perish along their very banks! My answer to that question is, not long. Costs of pitching a crop are too great to let the harvest perish from drought, when the needed showe.- can be economically plucked from tne stream for many a field. Clemson’s engineer, P. M. Garvin, Jr., is available to help you survey your prospects for irrigation. You can get him through your county Up 10 Times Last year Abbeville county had three Turkish tobacco demonstra tions. This year County Agent Bull tells me they have 35 farmers plant ing it. And our Turkish tobacco man, Bob Mattison, tells me that this is just about like the state picture, up 10 times from last year. And with in sects and diseases getting in the licks they are against cotton in the Pied mont area this year those dollars from these patches of tobacco will likely sjdcII another great increase in the new money crop again next year.
