FRANK?IIA Kit ALL
(From Anderson Daily Mail)
"Calm as the night, deep as the sea.
should be thy love for me," was the
beautiful song which Mrs. Waller H.
Nardin sang announcing to the wait-!
ing audience that there would be a
wedding in St. John's Methodist
church on that evening1?Wednesday.
This was followed by a "Song ot
Love" by Mrs. William Muldow, and
then a chorus began "Faithful and
True," which was the herald of the
bridal party of Miss Eleanor Frank
and James Pressly Harrall!
The four handsome young men whr. j
had so gallantly seated the guesL i
were the first to come down the aisles
Louis Anderson, Rufus Hill, William
Mowiioii or,a w i> Walkpp of Snar
tanburg. These were followed by tlu '
brideslniaids, Miss Alberta Farmer
came down the right aisle, and wore j
an exquisite creation of rose crep< I
chiffon over Princess lace, vLanvin
model, with garniture of blue and silver
flowers. MiSs Julia Ledbetter entered
the left aisle, her gown was ol
rosebud crepe chiffon, trimmed ii.
handmade roses of taffeta. Mj/se
Anne Gambrill and Jean Cunningham
also had the same shade of rose chiffon
with silver trimmings. The maid
of honor was Miss Virginia Frank,
sister of the bride. She was distinguished
by having a jade green gown
of chiffon over metal-cloth. Th. I
brides' attendants carried arm baskets
in the rose shade filled with flowers,
pink roses, sweet peas and other
varieties?with wide satin ribbon
bows crossiug the baskets. All of th<
bridesmaids wore, silver slippers, and
each had a silver wreath in her hair
One of the prettiest features of this
wedding was having two dames 01
honor who were recently married
Mrs. Lawrence Orr Hammett and Mrs
Forrest Suggs, who came down th?
opposite aisles, both wearing theii
handsome bridal gowns of heav>
white satin combined with lace, entraine,
and carrying large round bouquets
of Richmond roses.
Miss Frank entered the church witb
her father, John Frank, meeting the I
groom, James Pres6ly Harrall, wit) i
his best man. Henry Murray, at the
altar. Mr. Frank placed the hand ot
his daughter in that of the man whon
she had chosen, and in a short ceremony
Rev! L. p. McGee pronounced
them husband and wife.
The wedding gown of the bride wa.
fashioned of Spanish lace over crop'
chiffon, and very heavy bride's sayr.
for the bodice, drapery and train
caught with spray3 of orange bios
soms. The lines were of the new,
long waist, and the skirt was mucl
longer than has been worn in sometime.
Arranged in a most becoming
coronet was the veil, falling to tin
^ edge of the train. Her'flowers werbride's
roses and orchids, with lilies
of-the-valley and ferns.
A background of palms, ferns, and
masses of pirlk hydrangeas, with seven
feet candelabra burning pink candles,
and rows of pink candles on the
chancel rails, formed a most artistic
foil for the lovely scene of the bridal
group in front?the pretty young at-;
tendants of the bride reminding one
forcibly of "Roses in June."
The electric lights of the building
were turned off during the ceremony,
and only the soft lights <jf the candlesshone
over the bridal party, while the
organist. Miss Annie Chapman, played
sweet low music, shading into the
^ ? sound of the solemn words spoken
* by the minister. The flashing of the
lights and the clear notes of Mendelssohn's
wedding march, and the brid"
"aK couplefollowed by their attendants
were leaving the church?while
the audience was exclaiming over tinbeauty
of this even.
Going directly to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank fur more than two;
hours friends were coming to wish
for the young couple much happiness ,
many meeting the young groom for
the first time. After greeting tin
bridal party the guests were shown
into the dining rooms where Heaven-j
breath salad with an ice, and cracker
was served. In every part of tlu
house were pink flowers of 111:111 >
kinds, hydrangeas were in the parlors,
in the dining room were gladioli,
and rhododendrons used in the living
room.

FIELD TIIIAL ASSOCIATION
PROPOSED FOR CHERAW
Several local sportsmen are proposing
to organize a Field Trial Association
for the C'arolinas with headquarters
at Chjoraw.
Letters are being sent throughout
the state to dog owners asking for
an expression of opinion as to the
advisability of this plan. If considered
feasible a meeting will be called
at once to perfect an organization.
Mr. R. R. Hickson is acting as secretary
for the temporary organization
and would like to hear from all who
are interested in the plan.
Field Trials held by the Association
in the vicinity would be quite an advertisement
for Cheraw and would
bring a number of prominent men to
Cheraw at least once a year. The
promoters of this association should
have the hearty support and best
wishes of the business men here, as

SECOND GOLDEN RULE E
SALE DAY NEXT MONDAY
The Cheraw Advertising Club will
hold it it's second Golden Rule Sale 01
Day on next Monday. 2;
The first one held last month tc
while not largely attended showed the L
merchants who are behind this organ- ol
ization the possibilities of the plan tl
and they feel confident that the "day" P
will eventually be a huge success. C
The idea of this sales day is to get
the farmer and merchant in closer h;
touch with each other, so that they b>
will work together for their mutual
welfare. r<
The merchants are offering many
special bargains which are guaran- is
teed to be bargains by the Club. They
are also paying two auctioneers who
will auction off anything for the
fanner free of charge to him. They
want every fanner to bring something
to town and put it up for sale. Anything
in the way of machinery, live pi
stock, farming implements, household T
goods or any farm products will be tl
sold without cost to the owner. 01
The Club is expecting a large tl
crowd on next Monday, July 10th, and is
it is hoped that the farmer will realize pi
the necessity of his cooperating to to
keep the plan alive and will be here ai
on next Monday. if

SILO IMPORTANT IN DAIRYING ol
ei
P
Clemson College, June 2C.?Dairy j
farmers are realizing more and more
the place of the silo in the successful h;
feeding of dairy cows. Business farm- fj
ers and experiment stations have
found that a silo not only increases
the yearly profits of the farm, but
eliminates many uncertainties of live- ){
stock raising.
Many products which if fed dry
have little feed value are converted
into splendid feed by a silo. Sixty
percent of the feeding value of a coot j(
1" ?" nova ot?/l .in nor- r\
t'llI U CI up IS III l"C tui o au? IV 1-1. ^
cent in the stalks and leaves. When t<
the crop is a partial failure, a much
greater percentage of the total nutri- w
ents is in the roughage, and in the g
event of protracted drought, the tl
roughage often contains practically a
all the food elements. Putting the ai
corn in the crib, therefore, does n< r<
mean that the crop is all harvested, p
Can the farmer afford to ^aste 40 g
cents out of every dollar when by put- S
ting his corn crop in the silo, he can
get its full value, 100 percent? No. u
Silage has no equal as a succulent R
and economical feed for dairy cattle. s<
It keeps up the flow of milk when tl
pastures are short, and during the R
winter months it keeps up milk pro- II
duction at less cost than dry forage di
alone.
The Ohio Experiment Station has
shown that a silage ration produces
butter fat for 41 percent less cost than
does a grain ration. A silo is a very
economical storage place, as ten tons u|
of silage can be stored in the sail 0|
space as one ton of hay. hi
The filling of the silo can be done jr
in wet as well as in dry weather, ni
while other crops would be entirely L
lost if harvested under these condi- h
tions. If enough silage is produced
all the year round, the pasture acre- s(
age can be reduced and thus a larger ui
acreage may be used for cultivation. g<
Another great advantage of the ues h'
of the silo is that the land upon which pi
silage is grown is cleared early in the n<
season and ready for fall and winter
crops, either rye or oats for winter le
pasture or oats and vetch for hay. 1 ai
The use of silage during the sum-|oi
mer is particularly applicable on high fc
priced land. In pasture, it requires bi
one to three or more acres a season ci
for each cow, while one acre of corn bi
in the silo will supply succulent
roughage for several cows, for a like ji
period. sc
Soiling crops have been used ex- t>
tensively in place of or in addition to te
pasture. The great disadvantage in in
their use is that much labor is required,
for they must be cut and haul- c:
od every day. This is expensive be- hi
cause only small areas are cut at one fc
time. It is inconvenient also because a
the field work is pressing at that sea- m
son of the year and lioth man and bi
horsepower are needed badly in the
fields. Silage, on the other hand, is ir
cut at one operation when tlu> field ol
work is not pressing. Ilesides, weath- ui
or conditions may interfere greatly si
with a soiling system, whereas with
the silo a good supply of succulent a<
feed for the cows is available regard- tl
less of weather conditions. When it a
is not necessary to use the silo during it
j the summer, it can be sealed up and
: the silage preserved for winter use,
thus preventing any waste in feed. w
It will not pay to build a silo for
! less than ten head of dairy cows, but ,j
; the farmer with at least the minimum p
! number should at once plan to build
a silo. Tile dairy fanner who in the
j fall has a silo or two full of good fi
corn or sorghum silage, need not L
; worry about what his cow.s are going ii
to eat. e
Talking recently of the practieabil- a
ity of a silo, a farmer of Dillon Conn- a
tv said he thought it was too expen- n
sive to buy the material necessary for
filling a silo. Dut why should every' tl

WHY IS SCRUB LIVESTOCK!
Clemson College, July 3.?One of
le causes of scrub livestock is lack
? feed. If we do not have plenty
I home grown feeds we should not
ive livestock. The practice of buyig
feeds for livestock will usually
ean financial failure, warns Prof.
. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal
usbandrv Division.
Another cause of scrub livestock is
. rub foundation stock. Unless we
se purebred sires and thus bring
sod blood into our herds, we cannot
ope for rapid Improvement. The
arebred sire affords a rapid and ecoomical
way of improving the herd.
A third cause of scrub is poor section.
Unless we select the best
id sell the worst, we cannot improve
ir herds. The practice sometimes
dlowed of selling top heifers because
jyers would pay more than for th
ills, thus leaving the culls for the
reeding herd, will prove disastrous.
A fourth cause of scrubs is poor
idgment. Unless a fanner has
>me idea of judging and a definite
pe of animal in mind, he will uninntionally
make mistakes w-hich will
npair his progress.
A fifth cause of scrubs is improper
ire and management. For example
ogs will not do well in an S by ten
>ot pen; they must have a run of
lot? preferrably a pasture. They
mst have shade, and fresh water, and
b kept free from lice.
A sixth cause of scrubs Is lack of

t I
By WALLACE BASSFORD
(Special News Correspondent)
Washington, 1). C., July 3.?The!
congress which in March was talking'
of adjourning in May, in July is talk-)
ing of the possibility of adjourning j
in August, while the country sweats
under the uncertainty of how great
will be the burden of new taxation
piled up by the Fordney bill when it
finally becomes a law. The best statisticians
who have brought their pencils
fo bear on the problems are of the
opinion that fur every dollar taken
from the purses of the average eitizer
under the present (Underwood) .tariff
law, the ne wbill will take something
like $13.40, as compared with
about $3.03 under the Payne-Aldrick.
Democrats ?ried out against the exactions
of the last named law and
repealed it with the Underwood law,
which was highly satisfactory to all
except those Republican New Fngland
and Pittsburgh tariff barons who
grow rich out of such legi-lation.
With the Republicans the whole tariff
scheme is a vicious circle, and
once having adopted the system they
seem unable to escape from it.
Here is the way it has worked; the
tariff barons put the campaign funds
which enable the party to win and
then proceed, like Shylock, to collect
their pound of flesh; their demand
takes the form of higher tariff legislation;
after a prolonged struggle in
Congress they get it, whereupon the
people throw the Republican party
| out of power. Following the enact
ment of the McKinley bill they were
cleaned out, boots and breeches; following
the Dinglcy bill, it took the
Spanish war to save the House to the
Republicans, and that only saved it
by a narrow squeeze; after the PayneAldrieh
bill they were again kicked
out, whereupon the Democrats enact
cd the I'nderwood revenue-tariff bill
?a bill designed to produce the greatest
amount of revenue for the Treasury
with the least burden on the public.
The Democrats remained in power
for years after its enactment and
lost control only through the great
wave of political hysteria which followed
the war. The passing of that
wave has been more and more in evidence
of recent months, and a return
to normal thinking threatens to
sweep the Republicans out of the
House in the coming November elec*
tion. Almost every day conies the
news of some Republican member
who "finds that his business engagments
make it impossible for him to
again be a candidate for Congress."
Among the latest are Fordney and
Winslow, both rich manufacturers
who are seeking enacted into law
those tariff provisions which will still
further enrich them. They seem to
be among those wise ones who quit
while quitting is good.

PIG LOSSES HEAVY
.Many Factors Cause Nearly Fifty
Percent to l>ie.
Clenison College, June 20.?The average
number of pigs raised in South
Carolian is but' little more than 50
percent of the number farrowed. Below
are some of the causes of loss
and considerations for preventing loss
suggested by Prof. L. V. Starkey, C'hief
of the Animal Husbandry Division
who says that the relation between
the numb"? of pigs raised per litter
and the profits derived is very striking,
and that if our fanners are to
make profits from raising hogs they
must see that the sows raise reasonably
large litters.
Contagious abortion is increasing in
the herds of this county. It is a difficult
disease to control and will probably
continue to cause large losses.
A poorly balanced ration will cause
a sow to farrow weak pigs or even
dead pigs. A ration too high in i ro
tein may be as detrimental as one
which is too low in protein. Losses
from this source may be easily overcame
because our South Carolina
farmers can grow the feeds which it
takes to make a balanced ration.
At farrowing time it is necessary
to be present. As soon as the pig is
ejected the mucous should be taken
from its mouth and nostrils. If it is
lifeless it may be revived by rubbing
Then the newly farrowed pig should
be placed where it can nurse. If it
is weak a little milk squeezed from
the teat into its mouth will work wonders
in strengthening it.
If stagnant mud pools are present
the sow will wallow in them becaus
her udder is in a feverish condition.
When the little pigs have to nurse
these mud-covered udders, they will
develop digestive troubles, such as
scours, become stunted and often die.
There is no objection to clear running
water, but stagnant pools usually
cause trouble.
I
If pigs are castrated too high up on
the scrotem, the lower part of the in
cision will form a pocket which may
harbor infection. For this reason the
lower down incisions are made the
better. Some disinfectant, such as a
4 norpcnt oroolin solution should be
used. The younger the pigs are castrated
the better. Six weeks old is
often recommended. Pigs which have
been castrated should be run in a
clean grass paddock which is free
from wallows and stagnant pools.
Hog cholera is the chief source ol
loss of hogs. If there is cholera within
ten miles, hogs should be double
treated. This means that practically
every farmer should have his hogs
treated.
PLANT l'EST ItltEVITlES
('. A. I.udwiir, Associate Plant
Pathologist
It has been shown that a tendency
to blossom-end rot of tomatoes is hereditary.
Seed should be saved from
plants which show resistance.
One of the greatest influences favoring
the distribution of destructive
plant disease is the custom of pur
causing seca anii piums uum u uiatance.
Raise seed at home.
The Mississippi Experiment Station
reports that pecan scab can be controlled
by four or five applications of
Bordaux, beginning when the nuts are
first formed.
Spraying reduces transit losses
from brown rot of stone fruits, as well
as orchard losses.
If Bordeaux mixture cannot be used
on the day prepared, dissolve a heaping
tablespoon of sugar in a little water
for each 50 gallons and stir in thoroughly.
This will make it remain good
much longer than it would do otherwise.

Y. P. C. A. MEETING
The Young People's Christian Association
met in the Episcopal Church
last Tuesday evening, and notwithstanding
the rain, a small number attended
and a very interesting program
was enjoyed. If has been noticed that
a number of the members have been
absent at the past few meetings and
we are wondering what the trouble is.
Members, when you are absent, we
miss you and we need you. Will you
meet us at the Presbyterian Church
next Tuesday evening at 7:45? What
about the new members? We want
them to join us, so members, bring
them along. Don't forget that the j
next meeting will be in the Presbyter- !
ian Church Tuesday evening, July 11
at 7:45.
