I Thousands of women, who were first enrolled as Red Cross workers during the period of the World War. have never ceased In their labors for that organization, but still carry on knitting garments for disabled sol diers, making dresses and layettes for children and Infants, and giving i hours of their time In the various volunteer activities of Red Cross J work. Volunteer work by men also plays a large part In the organization of lied Cross. Tills volunteer work is the back bone of Red Cross.

In the year Just ended, the women made 2,270, 000 dressings.

The Dorchester County Record says now is tin. time to buy a farm. ."I. amis are cheap", says The Record, "and according to the statement of each party the election of its pivxi lential candi wile wiil bring tarm re lief, which, if brought, will moan | higher prices for farm lands." The Herald agree., with the Record. Agri Mi lure has hit bottom and so has the price of land. But there are other reasons why lands at present prices arc a good investment. Agriculture is being revolutionize:!. The passing of rice revolutionized agriculture in the lower coastal counties. The tr> k if cotton is westward, and farmers in the South Atlantic states are turn ing to more profitable crops. The march is slow and mournful, but it is I ? n full swing. "South Carolina's po tential agricultural power." says Dr j Long, of Clcmson Colleg. , "is greater , i >w than at any time in history, and is equal to that of any state in the union. No soil will respond to in- j t"iligent treatment more readily * v and no country can produce a greatei numb< r of money crops than our.-'.' I One of the most successful bm in ?ss men this section ever produced ? * I man who has made millions made it a life-long rule to sell when values were high and buy when they were law. A few years from now the price of those same lands will probably roach now high levels. Not since the C'vil War has the ambitious youth who knows how to farm had a better j opportunity to make a start in life. ' South Carolina's percentage of the annual loss of $00,000,000 from forest fire is inexcusably great. VETERAN BELIEF IS OfO RED Cfi&SS TASK j < i Service to Disabled in Ten Years ! Since Armistice Has Cost $65,800,000. In t hir- year of tlio tenth anniversary of the Armi-tlce. which ended the world war. flu* American Rod Cross still lltids a great arm. of disabled and sick veterans requiring assistance, and whoso families also must be aided, according to a statement by James L. Fleser. vice chairman In charge of do mystic operations of the R-'d Cross ai Washington. in tlte ten years since November 11. litis, the Red Cross has expended approximately $<>r>.son.ono in veteran relief work. Mr. Fieser said There is a daily average of 2.*>..r>(?0 disabled and sick world war veterans enrolled in Veterans" Bureau and other government ho pitals whlelrcare for these men and women, and about the same nnmial average of veterans sue cumhlng to wounds and Illness, for whose dependents the Red Cross is pledged tt; give required assistance. Mr. Fieser pointed out. In addition, the Red Cross, under Its ' charter granted by Congress, has a definite duty towards sorvice men of 1 ho regular establishment of Army. Navy ariu Marine Corps, and follows them to all foreign ports or duty. The v penditure in this work for fhe year ending June IK). l'i2.s. was $307,458. the annual report states. "Upon the Red Cross rests the aa cred obligation of carrying on* relief work for the disabled service and ex service men and women and their tie petide.it s, taking up the work where tlio ( lovern meut is not able to carry on, Mr. !? ieser said "The Red Cross lias ?>!'.) trained workers, serving either tull or part time in the held, in liaison work, camps and hospitals, who are always in personal contact with the sick and disabled in hospitals, with tk-? men in the regular Army.

In that number of communi ties, who have established special wui!; toi the disabled service and ex service p. ople, expended during the past year $1. 732,000. " The annual report states that the number of death claims alono of vet orans which are handled through the War Service at national headquarterF of the Red Cross, has increased from 12.010 in 1 D'J.I 2 1 to 24.

Mr. Fieser points out that Red Cross Roll Call conies once each year, and that it Is the only occasion upon which the Red Cross asks for fund? with which to carry on its activities, of which War Service is one. From Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day the American people are asked to sup port this work through their Red Cross r.*.cr.;U;-?'..:ss. FORI) SPEEDOMETERS SHOW OR EAT ACCURACY The speedometers of the new Model "A" Ford cars have shown remarkable accuracy in the measurement of spo.eds. Designed and built to maintain an accuracy within three miles fast at seventy miles per hour, these speed ometers of the new Fords thus far have shown, in tests, a" average ac curacy of not more than one and a half miles fast ? at seventy miles per hour, or just one-half of the tolerance allowed. The allowed tolerance of thne miles fast at a speed of seve nty miles per hour means, translated into terms of average driving speeds, that if the spoedomel.t r on the car indicates n speed of twenty-four miles per hou* the actual rate of travel of the car [at that time is not less than twenty three miles per hour, or that if the I speedometer shows a speed of forty , seven miles per hour, the car actually J i < traveling at a speed of not less than , forthy- fivt miles per hour. | Whatever the speed limit allowed J by law, the driver of one of the new j l ords may be certain that he is with in that limit if his speedometer indi (catos exactly that figure which is the legal limit. j The speedometer which is standard equipmei.t on the new Fords is on of the best known and finest makes It is driven from a gear on the drive shaft and measures speed from th'' revolutions per minute of the shaft. The tests ()f these instruments that ,are being made rrgularly in the Ford I Engineering Laboratory nt Dearborn are interesting. The speedometers aro tested against an electric tachom eter, which in turn is checked with an integrating revolution counter, the Expresses Appreciation We wish to thank the county direc tor and city officers for the privilego of parading the street on Saturday, November 3rd. To our mind the schools made a splendid show when we consider the short time some ol them had to prepare the children. The privilege of dividing the schools :nto two classes was granted us by Mr. ( arrison, thus enabling the .mailer school a chance to share in the prize money. Schools with four or mote teachers were in the first division, chools having three or less Uach>rs wore in the second division. In tut first division Jackson won first prize, St. Matthew, second; in the ?joi.ui division Mt. Joshua a two teacher chool in West Watcree won first wize, Micklo school in the same dis rict won second prize. We regret that the students of Wwr.'ng Home did not carry 'h?ir ?hoc! banner, for if they had \vo aie uie#th;-y would have been favorably onsiderei in the awarding of the Tizes, but the judges did not know Mt what they wer. the continuance >f Jackson as they marches b"hir.d 'arksen school. N c? thank the teachers and p:ir nis for their cooperation, the judges ho willingly gave their tim and al! 'hat in any way helped to make this ?arade possible. Teachers will please take notice that we will hold a meeting of h i minty Teachers Association at Jick ;on November 21th. Teachers are ex pected to support this organization by attending the monthly meetings. Some of our terms are short so c mu?t do our work quickly.

Vours in interest of education. E. F. McLester, Co. Super visor The House That Eggs Built Out in California at the Los Angeles County Fair there was an exhibit of a ? little house built of eggs. Whoever arranged the exhibit must have heard j iibout W. L. Schrank, of Hamilton County, Texas, whose profits from Poultry have enabled hin, to build and completely furnish a comfortable ar. j beautiful home which he calls "the house that eggs built." After trying for a number of years to get enough ahead 0ut of hi*. cotton crop to build a home, Mr. Schrank de cided to try a few chickens. Nowa days, he sells an average of a crat-j of eggs a day, has two Jersey envs fifty sheep, a flock of turkeys, abojt 100 White Leghorn hens and nnts ?> acres to a tenant who is required to iai.se all the feed he uses. He has set an exampls that is being followed by ?J the 42 homes in his community, orich of which now has from 200 to ?>00 hens. Mr. Schrank is just one of many Southern farmers who have found that poultry, when well managed, will bring returns at least double thoie of any othtr farm crop, considerin ? the investment. It is ?n easy matter to secure a net profit of $100 to $300 a year from 100 good hens. All wer the South, poultry is building homes, paying grocery and doctor bills, cloth ing families, educating children, in stalling waterworks and lights, nnd providing regular incomes sufficient to meet expenses as they are incurr .e*. George Weathers, of Bowman, S. started five years ago with four hens artd a rooster. He now has -150 While Leghorns and is getting 250 to f(i0 eggs daily. W. H. Clough, of lerece County, Georgia, has been in the poultry business seven years He i can't begin to count his chickens? he has to measure them by the acre. Mr Clough doesn't keep ftR many records as some folks but his business keeps on growing and he says his bank ac, count shows the balance is on the nsrht side, s0 he is pretty well satis fied. Incidentally, he raises a bale f> eottoh to the acre and corn thrt will yield around 40 bushels. Saved ! The magistrate bent stern brows on the defendant. "Vou are charged with exceeding limit last night," he de claimed. "Are you guilty or not?"

ANNOUNCE THE REMOVAL OF THEIR INSURANCE & REAL ESTATE Offices to 1105 Broad St. LOAN & SAVINGS BANK BUILDING The Oldest Real Estate Agency in Camden TAMPERING WITH UNCLE SAM'S PROPERTY. (From The Dillon He-aid.) The Kershaw Era sounds a note of waning for the man who seems to think that Uncle Sam's mail boxes are private property. Some folks think it is no harm to tamper with mail boxes, when as H matter of fact it is a penitentiary offense. The Era speaks of persons who have a way of tampering with boxes in the post office lobby. Every private mail box on a rural route has the protection of Uncle Sam and the person who tampers with one is flirting with a term in th^, federal penitentiary. Ev- J cry piece of Property IJivle Sam owns or controls is protected by a penal statute and woe unto him who is so thoughtless as to tamper with it. Sheriff Ordered Removed Gov. Richards last week issued an i order removing from office Sheriff Ballentine who was charged with drunkenness and neglect of duty. Of course the restraining order will ne- 1 cessarily follow and the sheriff kept in office until the courts pass upon the case. .Jack Frost is a great pulveriser of fall plowed soils. ANNOUNCEMENT.
