Ciet up a complete exhibit in some of these lines, if you can. If you cannot get up a complete exhibit, but have something of interest, bring it in, as place will be rvyecyed for miscellaneous exhibits .

A handshake can do neither of us harm. r ,? ? . B. G. SANDERS, Secretary Chamber of Commerce. Echoes From "Hell-Hole." Civilization is at a low ebb in parts,, of Berkeley county. Bootlegging and murder are the chief avocations. They run after each other in automobiles and shoot to kill. When out on bond for the blood-spilling they utilize the vacation by slaying some more. One Jerry Wright was charged with helping to kill Ham McKnight and Jervey Mitehum in a whiskey fracas. Jerry's friends mustered the wherewithal ta release him on bond. Last Sunday Jerry's pistol sent- another Mitehum to his doom. As long as the bootjeggers restrict their killing operations to each other we should 'be thankful for that much.

A beautiful story was written years agn? of a man and his wife who had spent the allotted span ol three score and ten years together and in the ! quiet eventide their-v mutual prayer ! to the Creator was? "Mvrcfully ordain j us, that we may grow old together." This yearning and supplication was forcibly illustrated to the writer a few days ago, as he was a guest aj. a home in this city. The husband and wife, now aged, were married in early youth and have lived to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary. . They have plumbed the heights and depths of phuman emotions, joys, sorrows and varied experiences?all these years faithful, loving companions. Whatever their respective personalities apipear to the outside world, their home life is an inspiration of love and af? feet ion. They are each satisfied with the other. There is an indissoluble tie of mutual dependence and reliance that has grown stronger as the years rolled by. Love, respect, esteem, confidence, mutual and indispensable service that exist and increase between a couple for a period of 55 years when they see so much of each other without interruption is remarkable. It is nn ii'Ppiiation td others. It is a noble j goal to strive and achieve for everv j husband and w ifo: To so live and 1 move and act that the prayer referred i t > become answered evenUrally!

C. 14-tf No Secrets to Making Perfect Cup of Coffee Can Be Achieved By Following A Few Simple Kulett Say* Famom Cooking Expert Uy MUdred Maddocki Ueulley ?) C*?4 ll*U?h~ri?0 lm?U*lS What is the secret of first-rate coffee ?the hind that atarta the day right? that makaa you feel "like .a million dpllara" T Literally hundred# of women?and a surprising number of men?have aaked me thia question in one form or another. And it's an important one?for what can be more blighting to domeatle happineaa than a cup of muddy coffee or coffee improperly "creamed"? And, on the contrary* what can be more exhilarating than a good cup?fragrant, golden, delicious T Luckily there's no hidden secret about making and serving the perfect coffee?'it's Just a matter of minding your p's and q's and following a few simple directions. 8eWctkm of Coffee There are many excellent brands of -- eoffe* in tha marks W-the choice of one of theae is largely a matter of individual taste. But I do want to say that usually coffee in the bean retains its flavor longer than in the ground form ?so, if possible, buy the whple beans and grind your coffee fresh for each meal. If, however, the breakfast hour ?or fifteen minutes?is too hectic to admit of thia extra step, at least keep your ground coffee in an air tight container?a glass fruit jar for instance. And it's well to remember that the more finely the coffee is ground, the easier it is to extract its full strength and flavor-consequently finely-ground coffee Is economical and time-saving. ?* The Coffee Pot Connoisseurs maintain that coffee brewed in a metal pot has a less delicate flavor than in a container of glass, stone-ware or agate. Whatever kind of coffeo pot you prefer?it should be scoured frequently and occasionally "boiled out" with water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added? then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered. If a percolator is used, the pipe should be hatefully washed evory day with a brush to remove all scum from the proceding brew. For drip coffee, If you do not have a speoinl drip coffee pot, on ordinary one equipped with a double cheesecloth bag will serve the purpose. The cheesecloth should be washed in cold water after using and renewed at least once a week. Keep the bag always moist.' The "Creaming" This I consider quite as important as the actual brewing. Good coffee can so easily bo spoiled by using cream of Inferior quality or tho "top of the bottle" if carelessly poured off. In my study of food habits, I am finding that every year more and more people prefer sweetened condensed milk in their coffee. You see this kind Is twtee as rich and creamy as ordinary mflk and furthermore already contains sugar, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try It fdr a few days, and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delightfully rich, smoothly blended drink, bringing out the real coffee flavor And of course it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened?and the cost is extremely moderate. 4 Now as to the actual methods of browing. There are several fund your choice 'la entirety matter of* Individ, ual taste. If tho directions are carefully followed* any of the methods will yield the "perfect cup of coffee"?-mellow in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant aroma, free from sediment and of a dark golden hue. Boiled Coffee Rinse the pot with hot water, put the coffee la the pot ?one rounded tablespoon of medium-ground coffee - ' to esoh cup of boiling water, with an additional pooa "for the pot." Add a little white of ess. or crushed egg shell and about one-fourth cup of cold water, stirring briskly. Add the boiling water, place tbe coffee pot over heat, and bring to a full boll. Place on back of the stove or over low beat far about ten minutes to settle, before serving. Do not allow tbo coffee to beoome unsettled by careless pouring. Per cola tod Coffee Use one cup of nnely-around correc to ?u cum of boiling water. Place the coffeo In the strainer In the upper part of tbe pot and let the water bubble up through the tube, percolating through tho coffee Into the,K?wer part, until the oaic Is of tin? desired strength, Ave minutes being the usual time required. Serve at once. Coffee inado In n percolator la not good If allowed to' cook after tho required strength Is reached. Drip Coffee Ileat tbe pot by rinsing la hot water, and wet (he * strainer.
