HOUTH CAROLINA HAPPY " Our sister state of (South Carolina is feeling 'better today than it haa in a good "While?and in spite of the floods. According to estimates, South Carolina is going to make more than' 1100,000 bales of cott.on this, year than it did last year, 'which alone mean# an additional income for the peopte of that slate of (between thirty and thirty-five million dollars. And then, us has been noted before, the Palmetto state teems to be aedptialy considering plans for cashing in on that fortunate circumstance - which has given South Carolina vegetable, fruit and dairy products an abno'rmully high content of iodine. In many aections of the stute there are evidences of a healthy development in the dairy and poultry industry Hnd in ' live stock production, generally. This is a decidedly healthy and significant trend.

In Roman mythology the red poppy was the symbol of death and as auch was dedicated to Soinnus, the god of sleep. For hundreds of years this flower has been associated with the battlefields of western Europe, especially in Flanders, where it grow* as a pest among the wheat and' ih cultivated fields. Poppies grow lu<- I AjffiantJy an ,battleftelds ips.tW"^ tion simply because such fields prq- 1 torn up and then neglected for * sea- | son or two. Contemporary writers refer to the profusion of poppies i which sprang up on the battlefields | of Landen, Ramilles, Malplaquet, Fontenoy and Waterloo. William of Orange and Luxemburg fought the bloody battle of Landen in the summer of 1693. In his history of* England Macaulay says of this battlefield: "During many months the ground was strewn with skulls and bones of men and horses, and with fragments of hats and shoes, saddles and holsters. The next summer the soil, fertilized by 20,000 corpses, broken forth into millions of poppies. The travelers, who, oh the rond from Saint Tron to Tirlemont, saw that vast sheet of rich scarlet spreading from Landen to Neerwinden, could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished, that the earth was disclosing her blood, and refusing to cover the slain." The' poppy became peculiarly associated with the battlefields , of the World War as the result of the poem by John McCrae, Canadian physician* soldier and poet. "In Flanders Fields" was written during the second battle of Ypres and was originally published in the issue of London Punch dated December 9, 1915. The poppy is the official memorial flower of the American Legion and is widely worn on Memorial Day?May 30? which hv reason of this fact is frequent!) called Poppy Day. ? The Pathfinder.
