Price per annum #2.00, payable Jn advance. Friday, September 26, 1 MO Hog* in Williamaburg Williamsburg county farmers who turned their attention to raising hogs in recent months, instead of becoming wrought up over * politics, are Wearing broad smiles of satisfaction, according to a Kings tree dispatch to the Charleston 'News und Courier. The news story says that already three carloads of county raised hogs have been shipped from Kingstree, totaling 34 b hogs with un aggregate ) weight of <J0,005 pounds, which netted the farmers #0,347,611. Some of the shippers are said to have made such remurks as this: "Well, my hogs paid the mortgage and at little expense." They are planning to ship a "double-deck" car load of hogs to the Richmond market this week. Thost* Williamsburg county farmers are tackling this diversified, branch of farming in the intelligent way, as every hog shipped so far, with one exception, has been demonstration-fed. This moans the hog raisers are following the advice und instructions of their expert county farm agent, and the plan of fattening is the only one thut insures satisfactory results. The dispatch adds 1 that Williamsburg county also produced a goo<J corn crop this year, < which will be utilized and marketed i at a profit, there being a marked de- 1 crease in the corn yield throughout the country. Hog and hominy will , be the order of things in this coastal ' county, and where thut is the case 1 want and starvation are remote*? ! Spartanburg Journal. J DAIRY FARMER LEE I Conway, Sept. 22.?H. H. Lee, I*ondon born, came to Conway from the ' great Michigan dairy country and is I a satisfied and successful dairyman 1 who sells "whole milk in -Conway from | a small herd of 12 Guernsey cows, j He has now ? yourvg bull of fine promise from <C. &. McCall's breed- ' ing at Bennettsville. Lee grows his \ feeds, buying bran and cottonseed \ meal. He mixes bran and 24 per- cent feed with ground com-and-cob 1 Und' thus Haves h-nlf, he says. Hte' J new up-to-date milk house and b&rh meet the ptricfc /Conway milk rules. Comparing South Carolina with ' the Northwestern dairy country, Mr. ^ I*ee feels that most of the advan- 1 tages are with us. There are, he i points out, first the long growing 1 season against the short one there } lasting only from May 20 to Sep- ' tember 1; second, the great variety I of crops; third, less need for winter ; protection; fourth, smaller percent- j age of tuberculosis in cattle. Surely t something here to think about' ( Fitting in with his dairy business, ' Mr. Lee grows some hogs, his good ? carpet-and lespedeza pastures and | his corn und l>oan and pea fields ' serving well both cows and hogs. 1 Some hogs lie sells on foot, and a , specialty product is sausage which on reputation commands five cents * premium per pound oyer other sau- ' sage. W ith only a limited local market ) in Conway, Myrtle Beach and other 1 resorts, Horry farmers may not feel ^ an> great urge to go into dairying j as H. H. l*ee is doing, but there t is doubtless room for more farmers * to keep small'herds as sidelines, ad- C ditional possib^t* outlets being cream- \ < 1 ies to be reached more easily as * the paved roads now under way bring these creameries in easier ' reach.

Plant Vetch And Austrian Peas Now Vetch and A liMtTiuti peap are^ 1#. Kume crops. l/egume? work in cooperation with certain small bacteria which take lar^e quantities of nitrogen from the air and store it in these plants. Did yot ever notice the little nodules on the rooLi of peas, clovers, soy beans, or beans? A good farmer will take time to study about these "agents" which will work for him day and night if he will help them. Did you know that nitrogen is the j high-priced part <{/ your fertilizer I which you buy in sacks? Why buy it when you can get legumes and bac- I i teriji to take out of the air and put I it in your soil?"" A wideawake farmer will pay Attention to this unless i he hud rather work for a fertilizer | company than for his own good. And there is not a farmer in Kershaw I county who is not deeply interested! in making money for his family, | Vetch and Austrian peas, if plant-1 ed right,, will put from $<> to $10 worth of nitrogen in an acre of land. | Also the large amount of organic! matter or humus which you turn un-1 der is worth a great deal. Vetch | und Austrian peas are winter ie-1 gume crops and grow whilf the luiijl is not needed for other crops such as ! ryt'n or cotton. Also, by growing in! toe winter these crops act as a cover J or protection to the soil and keep it ) from washing away or leaching. Since Austrian peas grbw out J about two weeks sooner than vetch it J is advisable to put Austrian peas! where you expect to plant cotton | next year in order to get the cotton J started early. Vetch or Austrian! peas will decay sufficiently if turned | under 10 days or two weeks before J1 planting corn or cotton. J, Many farmers have more than! loubled their erop yields by turninjj I 1 under these legume crops. The Mc- | ' Galium 4-dI club boys are good ex- | i umples. Also Mr. L. I. Guion, Mr. Bolivar Boykin, Mr. Henry Garrison, Jr., Mr. David it. Williams, Mr. T. K. | Trotter, Mr. G. F. Watts, Mr. N. P. < Gettys, Mr. S. W. VanLandingham?J' sill of them got valuable results from these crops last year?and many others also. There were a few farmers ' who did not get their vetch in at } ' the right time last year und they h slid not' get very good results. But, J folks, you know even cotton will not [ do its best if it is not planted right. | These two wintep legume crops can J be worth a lot to you if you will J unly cooperate with them. Even if J you ci^n not plant all of your culti- I vated land to them, I would sug- J gest planting at least a few acres. We are requesting every 4-H club boy J1 in the county to plant at least one 11 acre of vetch where he will plaut J ( :orn or to plant an acre of Austrian I < peas where he will plant, cotton.) Some of these 4-H boys have rnkde | ( ?ver 00 bushels of corn per acre by j 1 losing retch while their Dads made j 1 M)ly 20 bushels per acr.e. ... {< Livestock and legumes yyill pufl r.

' It is unquestionably the duty of all preachers, teachers and the heads of families to make vigorous appeals to their members, scholars and children and arouse their interests in this matter and thereby influence the use of more cotton goods. Cotton hap been and will continue to' be our main financial crop and will continue at lower and lower und lower prices if we continue to buy and use substitutes. The production of automobiles has been decreasing considerably which means less cotton being used in that industry and with the general decrease of cotton consumption, one can easily see thut our muin product {is being placed in a more and more dangerous situation and we have arrived at. the point where we will be compelled to help ourselves by using more cottop goods or stand by and see our cotton growers and manufacturers go down in defeut. Our business men should encourage the establishment of cotton garment manufacturers in the South and all of us-should decide now and make it a permanent decision to use more and more cotton goods. The "Buy A Bale" movement does not relieve the situation at all; we cannot wear the cotton until it is woven. Buying more cotton goods is tho :>nly way to help the cotton industry. Give it a fair trial and you will find the statement to be true. Very truly yours, G John F. Jenkins. Camden, S. G\, Sept. 24. Knowledge From Newspapers A medical report issued some time ago by an investigating committer ?ets forth that of all the pellagra pal- : dents examined in a certain i$pgtn sf time in one locality, it was qq- ( :ertained that 90 per cent of thje j >elUgra victims did not read newq?aper? of any sort and the medicdl- ( axperts attributed in part, the raw- { sge9 of the disease to this fact. ^ H ft! would be' 'foolish to make the ( statement that if a person will jreafl i newspaper he will never have pellagra, but it must be admitted that j he average newspaper reader is , nuch more able to take care of his , wealth than is the person who never ^ lees a newspaper, because he gleans therefrom information he probably j vould not acquire in any other manler. I The fact was established as far . :ondueted exhaustive tests in South ^ Carolina and Mississippi at that tjme, hat pellagra is purely a disease due t o faulty diet. Dr. Goldberger dem- , mstrated that a family provided with t denty of sweet milk, fresh vegeables and lots of ^ed meat, will lever have the dread disease, whne >n the other hand, people,whose diet :onsists largely of fat meat and | :ornbread, are almost sure -to fall rictims to pellagra. I This one fact alone should be suf- 1 ricient to cause every family in 1 South Carolina able to read, to sub- I cribe for some one newspaper, but 1 .hat condition will never come about, f [t is worthy of note, and a matter i 'or regret, that the young people of ; ;oday, if they read a newspaper at < all, confine their attention to the ' ;omic strips, better known in the ; vernacular of today as the "moron section" and when they finish that :>art of the paper, they consider they uive read all that is worth reading. That i- one reason why the coming t venc a! : >n i- n>> better informed than j tho v a>e. Yorkvillo Knquirer. DONTS FOB Hl'NTKRS j The Wisconsin conservation commission s one state to issue an of fuial warning to gunners, says the American Game Protective Association. The following "Dont's" should reduce shooting accidents: Don't keep your gun loaded except when you are actually hunting but .handle it all times as if it were loaded. Don't point your gun at anyone even If you are sure it is empty. Don't handle a gun by the muzzle or pull.it toward you. Don't carry your gun when climbing fences or brush piles. Don't carry your gun so that an accidental discharge might shoot your- companion. Don't shoot at any game unless :yoUN can see it clearly enough to positively identify it. Don't be the fool who "didn't know lit was loaded." ' 'jt :r. vrd ?v Knights To Compete In Tilting Tourney A tournament reminiscent of the day* of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table will be held on Thursday night, October 9th, at the Greater Sumter county fair beginning nt 8 o'clock when Knighta from various parts of the state ride once again in a tilting tourney for the honor of naming a Queen to reign as Queen of Love and Beauty. This colorful event went over in big style lust year at the Sumter county fair and again this year a field of Knights compete. The contestants carry lances about eight feet in length and do stents and feats of daring riding under such picturesque titles as Knight of Conway, Knight of Santee, Knight of White Cloud, Knight of Wateree, Knight of Action, Knight of Pecanola, Knight of Cameron, Knight of Melrose, etc. This sport originated in feudal days when Knights clad in armor met on an open field or court and endeavored with long pointed lances to unhorse each other. The winner won the right to crown the Queen. In more modern days Knights met in tilting tourneys to ride spirited horses through an open court, the "battle ground" with a Lance in one hand -and instead of catching his fellowman on the point of his lance ^he i ran his lance through small rings suspended from hangars by which he rode at full speed. The largest number of rings caught on the lance entitled the rider to name the reigning queen, Governor John G. Richards has been invited to attend the tilting tourney at the Sumter county fair on October Oth. Many Knights have already entered the gala event. S. A. Harvin, Jr., and D. E. Summers is the committee in charge of the events. The most attractive set of prizes yet offered in- the state will be offered by the fair association and by individuals of Sumter. The winner will be presented >a handsome trophy. The usual free-for-all horse race i will follow the lancing tourney. Some fast horses have been entered , among which is one recentjy purchased by the Knight of Cameron. Two prizes are offered in this event. Many noted persons from throughout the state are expected to come aver for the event. ' Thursday night of 'fair week is tke late. Atlanta,' iSept. 18.?A ftimily of three met death here as Claud Beam, 11, a railway mail clerk, killed his wifp and 14-yenr-old daughter as they slept and then fired a bullet into his own head. Beam was to lave appeared before a Federal commissioner to face charges of mail theft. He had been a mail clerk for 20 years. Relatives and police, area king into the Beam home, found Mrs. Beam, 35, and their daughter, Audry, lying on beds. Apparently ;ney were sleeping when killed. Beam was lying lifeless on the floor with x hole in his head. A revolver was' :>n the floor near his body. If the wishes of T. M. Zink, misogynist, are carried out, there will be X womanless library 75. years hence in Le Mars. His estate of some MO,000 or more is left in trust. After 75 years, the will says, the estate will be worth $3,000,000 and < then the library will be built. "No woman admitted" will be cut in stone over the dobrs. Only books by men will be allowed. Zink, a lawyer, died at 73. The will left his daughter $5 and stipulated that the widow could use the house for $4 a month rent.
