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. It is well to have a sep:i
ate ange for young males, as othirvvi-e
tkej vv iU be persecuted by the
older ones,

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- !

| Bucked Wall Street
And Went Bankrupt
j losing $16,000,000 in a vain effort
to buck Wall Street, bringing
! him down to |>overty, and then rnak!
ing it all back and more in lean than
five year* i* the achievement of
I Clarence Saunders, once an Omaha
I grocery clerk.
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.
