Excursion To Waahington Kvery South Carolinian at aorta time haa a with and deaira to visit the cuuital of this great nation of ours, Washington, D. C., and even thosy who have gone there always desire to pay another visit. No better opportunity will offer itself soon than the third round trip exeurtion of the Seaboard Air Line Railway this ?<m the trip being made May lHtii from points in North and South Carolina. The Seaboard, on its third excursion of the 1028 spring season, will offer the same low rate round trip fares that have prevailed for the other two trips when the cost to Washington and back to origimd starting point will be less thuu the usual one way fure with all tickets , honored in Pullman and parlor cars. The date of the tickets for the third trip will be May 18th with a final return limit, to reach original i i starting point, of riot later than midnight of May 23rd. Washington is never prettier than 1 in the mid-spring season and persons 'going on this excursion of the Seahoard will find the nutional capital, | renowned all over the world for its beauty, in its most beuutiful array. I All of the famous points of interest such as the national capital, the White House, the beautiful Parv American building, the stupendous Lincoln Memorial, the famed Congressional Library building, the wonderful Washington cathedral, the Freer and Corcoran art galleries, the Senate and House of Representatives office buildings, and all other official buildings will be available for inspec-j tion. Just outside of Washington, available after a short street car ride in . to the Old Dominion State of Virginia, is the national sanctuary at Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. Also in the list of interesting places in the capital is Arlington, the national cemetery. The round trip fare from Camden will be 112.00. North Carolina, instead of a deficit, has a cash balance in its treasury of $5,214,114, after disbursing over $2,000,000 in March. The state will have a cash balance on hand of about. $2,000,000 at the end of tho fiscal year on June 30. The deficit in the South .Carolina state treasury is ubout $4,000,000 and getting worse fast.

Demand For Cured Sweet Potatoes Clemaon College, May 6.?The market for good cured sweet potatoes is much broader than it waa a few years ago, aaye D. W. Watkiua, assistant director <>f the Extension (Service, in reminding farmers that there is no reaaon why potatoea as a supplementary cash crop should not be made a safe and satisfactory income producer on hundreds of South Carolina farms. The sweet potato crop is now fifth I importance among crops of the state, but of the six million bushel* produced fully one-third goes to waste. An average production of 82 bushels per acre caa easily be toettered, Mr. Watkins believes, by progressive farmers who can by proper cultural methods produce a hundred bushels per acre with 50 to 60 percent salable grades. Right varieties, specialized meth-i ods of production and curing, and the market already develop^ because of the fine quality of house-cured po-l tatoes will insure profitable returns on Northern markets and local markets as well; and fortunately the crop can be grown over the entire state.
