Hankers Met at Bethune Wednesday A I) of the banks of Kerahav County were represented at the rcgular monthly hank ma&Uog. .held in Ik-thurie Wednesday evening. The bankers have joined hands and are taking a very active part in the county's agricultural program. At these meetings they exchange ideas, make plans and work out policies for the development of better farming conditions. They are supporting very heartily the work being done by ( ounty Agent Green and those wh > are assisting him. In fact Mr. Green represents the farmers and their problems at these hunk meetings, The results accomplished are gratifying and the program set by the hankers is far reaching with respect to the farm and hank relatipns and future development. Also the present needs of the farmers are receiving a great deal of attention. The chief speaker at this meeting was Mr. J. K. Hawkins, ( lemson Kx tension specialist. He stressed thr need for greater incomes and then ahowed very clearly how hogs, well eared for. could bring in this added income. He cited a numla-r of cases where this work is really developing in cotton sections of this State. As set forth by Mr. Hawkins, there is no need for setting a.-ide our regular main crops hut only to add to the < or ii acreage arid keep one or more good brood sows on each farm, in thin way increasing the far in income $.000 sir more without affecting the main crops. Mr. Hawkins is assisting County Agent Green in organizing 4-JI pig ilubs in the schools of the County where this work is wanted and it might he said that the hanks are squarely, behind this 1-11 club work. The bankers voted In favor of trying to get every farmer in the county to attend the cotton meeting to be . held in Camden March 7th, at .'IiliO p. m. Mr. R. \S. Hamilton, chief cotton specialist, will ho here in *on. Also the bankers were highly in favor oT getting Mr. Kmil Ranchenstcin, Economist from Washington, as outlined by County Agent Green! and they urge that the farmers take advantage of this important opportunity. Dates of these meetings will la- announced next week in the newspapers. 1 he hankers and guests present wen later tendered a most delightful curse dinner at the King-Davis Hotel as guests of the bankers of Bethune. ild Turkeys Native Wo have often wondered whether the domestic turkey is a product of the wild turkcy,< which is found in mo-t of the Ka-tern state-. We know that tin- wild turkey is the piece do i e-i-t a in of any epicure'- I pajato. In fact, it is tho opinion of many that there is nothing finer to cat than a wall turkey hroilod over . hickory embers, especially who i looked by Bob Davis, and then sei*ved with hi- famous Kohinor sauce, says the Now ^ ork Tribune game expert. \S v learn I torn the Biological Survey of Washington that the turkey i hat is native to the Eastern United Stale-, over mo.-t ot which it originally occurred, ha.- a plumage that gleams like burnished metal; the lump feathers are dark reddish apic 111>. ""d Die tail is dark reddish in general artd dark brown at the tip. In the domesticated turkey, which is descended chiefly from Mexican stock, the tips of these feathers are whitish and the plumage in general is less metallic. Tame turkeys, however, readily become wild, so thai if pedigree i- not an important con-, siiliu at ion, almost any stock will do, 'or the hirdsfcan be .-o managed that Ote progeny w.ll be vy-ld enough for -porting purposes. . The greatest difficulty m o.nncct'"H with the propagation of wild turkeys is to get birds of the true wild -tock. The breeding bird*. 1 .he? wing clipped or pinioned, are k<Tt in a roomy fo ld of the ol I pa -1 u r e type with plenty of natural growth.

This Farmer Proves That Dairying Pays A man may be down but he "* never out if one i? to judge from an j rite renting story related by Z. Wright Dennis, a well known farmer arid dairyman living two miles south of Newberry. About I'J'Jt0 when the slump came to this section of the country Mr. Dennis stated that he paid taxes on 100 acres of land which was very poor and in run-down shape. A very humble cottage "with medibcre outbuildings were the only things for the passerby to view. The reas- i on he stated that he paid taxes was j because he owed f'J,500 on the place with no possible way that lie could see to pay off the debt. What was he to do? He went to his banker in Newberry, who held one of the mortgages on his place, and told him that he was ready to give it up as he could see no way of paying off the debt. Someone then suggested that he go into the dairy business and his banker readily agreed to lend him four hundred dollars t > make the venture. The change proved highly satisfactory and the day was the beginning of a new era in his life. Mr. Dennis began by milking eight cows and today his herd has grown to forty cows. He secures between 85 and 100 gallons daily which is so! 1 retail to customers in Newberry. The price obtained is 15 cents per quart. At the beginning Mr. Dennis raisp, cd his feed but since his herd has increased so large he is forced to buy about two thirds of it. He is immensely pleased with his t successful adventure. He paid off ' the debt, built silos, several new and ! up-to-date barns, purchased a milk- ! r.g machine and other latest equip- j ment, installed electric lights, water works and sewerage, overhauled and ! painted his dwelling. Everything on' lii- farm is. modern in every way. His land is now in a high state of cultivation and can easily produce any thing grown in this section of the : country. He has a tractor, and other latest equipment in the way of farming tool*. Mr. Dennis is now 55 years of ago and has been suffering from locom >-. tor ataxia for a long tfmqjycl despit- , this condition, he is very optimistic and thoroughly sold on dairying. He I refused an offer of $l?i,000 the past j week for his farm and herd of fine i cows. He considers his entire equip-i ment worth approximately $*JU,000. : He does not owe a penny and has i money in the bank. All his feed-' stuff- ait- purchased for ca-h on ar-I rival. Mr. Denni.- i- > -on-idcring increasing hi- herd, and if he does he will . probably sell ,-onu* wholesale as T. 1 E < oolc\. county dairy agent, ha succeeded in securing a -atisfai torv j price for good milk to be shipped 1 front Newberry daily provided a sufficient quantity can be engaged. Mr. Dennis is a firm believer in' dairying and believes that it is the salvation of some of the depressed fanners around Newberry.?Newber- ! ry Herald and News. Program The (Quarterly B. Y. P. I.'.

The story of Saunder* and hi* financial venture* read* like fiction, lie wa* the originator of the Piggly Wiggly chain grocery store system now in other hand*. Stock in it became very valuable and Wall .Street took to it kindly. The time canie when Saunder* ?aw hi* control alipi ping. Something had to be done and ! done right away. What Saunder* did wa* to go to New York with $16,000,000 in caah to keep the stock market shark* from ruining hi* business. The story i? .that thi* money filled a railway car which he guarded with his own men heavily urmed. He thought he hud the big money market overawed and licked, hut the New York Stock Kxchange unexpectedly *u*perided its rule* giving a five-day extension for' stock deliveries and Saunder* went home to Memphis, Tenn., broke. Wall > Street ridiculed him a* "the booh from Tennessee." * Hut Saunders wa* only temporar- J ily licked. He started right in and organized another chain store system which now operates 500 stores, all his own. He is keeping strictly out of the stock market and Wall ( Street since he had his fingers hurried. He did hot lose a dime in , the recent crash. And he rs worth more money now than he ever was. < At the height of his prosperity j several years ago Saunders built a:i enormous mansion at Memphis, Tenn. It was called the "pink palace." Af- ( ter he went broke it was sold at \ auction as was nearly everything else < Saunders owned at that time. This palace now belongs to the city which is making it over into a museum. Now Saunders has put up another new home, not a palace this time but a log cabin built in the middle of a ttOO-aere farm in Tennesse near Memphis. Its simplicity, he says, symbolizes his desire to get away from Wall Street and it* high financiering', and to stay away. "It i.s foolish for any indi\Wual to try to beat the Wall Street crowd," Saunders says. "In the end there is bound to be only one result?disaster for the individual. My advice to the great ma-- of American men and women is to refuse absolutely, no matter what the temptation, to buy ' or sell stocks on margin. That is i gambling, nothing else, and when you ' do it you get gamblers' loss more j times than you get gamblers' luck."1 Old Colored Citizen Dead l-aac Boykin, a well-known colored citizen, who had reached more than eighty years, died at his home in the northern part of the city Tuesday of last week. For many years in his : younger days Boykin was employed by the late T. S. Nelson and later by the late K. S. Nettles, as a butcher and be is well remembered by many of the older citizens. In later years he was a faithful employee of The Wateree Mills of this city. He is survived by his widow and several son< and daughters and a lfirge family connection.

Blaney Boy Shot Now In Hospital While* hunting near hi* home about four miles thiH aide of Blaney on the Camden road, Talmadge KllUon, the 11-year-old son of J. W. Kllison, was probably fatally wounded about 1 o'clock yesterday when the double barrel shotgun that he was carrying accidentally discharged and sent u full load of shot into his left side. He was rushed to the Columbia hospital where his condition is ha id to be critical. He und a little Negro boy, Jonas Miller, about the same age, were in the woods together. Talmadge was standing on a log and letting the stock of the gun rest beside him, while he held the barrel in his hand. It is thought that the lower end of the gun slipped off the log, letting the hammer strike as it passed downward. Jonas, who was' standing about 20 feet away, said that he was uncertain whether the gun was cocked or not. As soon as he saw what had happened, he picked up the wounded boy and started toward the l ouse with him. He was brought to Columbia by J. It. Rush and J. L. Necley, both of whom live near the Klison residence. Young Kl'iaor i* a pupil in the fourth grade at Blaney graded school.? Thursday's Columbia State.
