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*? !

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. ... {<

Sow these crops latter part of t
September (now) and save a largo (
nut of your next year's fertilizer

lops and besides building up your ^
mil and keeping it from leaching and o
vashing away this winter.

l/rgin Wearing Cotton Good*
[ Editor The ChronicW: The advertising
being done by The Cotton
Manufacture Association should attract
and hold the attention of all
American citizens and especially all
of our Southern people and there
should be a worthwhile reaction, or,
otherwise, the situation will become
more and more acute and before
great while our own people will hare
unconsciously aided in their own
feat. '
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.

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

Don't shoot at any game unless

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.
