Neae Ever Ihnpo London, Jan. $4.?Dartmoor prison, scene of today's violent outbreak, is a grim pile of gray rock mt on tha edge of those dreary moorlands that were celebrated by Conan Doyle in his story, "Hpund of the BaskerYiJUea." It was founded in 1808 to house French prisoners of war. During the War of ^812, captured American seamen or those refusing to fight America were imprisoned there. The tombs of many of these letter cen still be seen. Closed for a time, it was reopened in 18fi0 and was utilised as a place for conscientious objectors during the great war. It haa since attained a reputation ?for harsh treatment of prisoners. It is said thut none has ever escaped. N N While occasionally a prisoner ^gets outside the walls he has never been known to make his way from the inhospitable territory, either perishing from hunger end exposure or beihg j recaptured. IMoat ,of ?thp prisoners are long-terdiera and hardened criminals. Dartmoor is located in one of the moist lonely and weirdest sections of England. It is surrounded by many bogs and morasses into which cattle sometimes etumble and sink to,their doom. The region is (perennially jjhrouded in mists and natives believe the dun-colored stretches are peopled by spirits, one of whom is described as a headless horseman, who ever and %non rides across the dreary expanse. v ' . i /Patriotism, has been throttled by <greed and fraternity by jealousy. *' ' I f i . 1 r T ' Author of New Book Here for Short Visit Ionald de L.

I \ - pTho following appeal fox the eeatinuance of extension work in the Mate waa made,to the-Senate Finance ^ommitUo by .Mrs. J. V.

"The council 'of farm women appreciate* the opportunity of making an I appeal in behalf of Home Demonstuition work in South (Carolina. We believe the. Legislature is composed (of. fair, open-minded man, earnestly (seeking a solution to the difficulties which confront our state. We sympthise with you in the struggle you Ure making \ to protect the credit of I the state. We are willing to assist I you but in removing the Home Demlonstretlen Agents, we feel that you are depriving us of one of our chief sources of revenue, "About twenty yg?rs ago a school teacher in Aiken county, Marie Qromer, seeing the destitute condition of I many farm*girls began tomato canIning clubs.

It is thia valua* work, recognized all over the civilized* world as originating in South Carolina, which you are asking to Iabolish. Has its mission ended? Let these figures apeak for themselves. /There are enrolled in Home Demonstration work in the state 22,000 women^In 4-H 'Clubs for girls, 9,000.

This is mu<ih more than the state appropriates for Home Demonstration work. It has been long recognized that a successful agriculture is1 theToundation of any country's prosperity. Today as never before -diversification is being preached and practiced. ^The cow, the hen, the hog and the garden, from being side lines, are being relied on as the chief sources of our income. Dairy *and poultry products, with garden crops, have always been regarded as women's "pinmoney." Now that they are taking their place as an important pn$t of J tlie family income^ we need the guidance of our Extension leaders. So long as the country was fairly prosperous, many of ?mr people fel? no** need of help from the Extension department. Now* that agriculture is stricken they are turning in numbers to our Extension Service for help. And in every county you will find the ones who are cooperating with the agents are the ones who are achieving a fait degree of prosperity. 'In addition to the economic value of the work, there is a very real aesthetic side to be considered in the increased Lbeauty of, the. ..country wherq once bare yards were the rule around country homes, now no place is so humble, but has its planting of ^flowers and shrubbery, -thus satisfying the.~eye-.and?at the -same time increasing the value of the property." f Dr. Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, states, "I am persuaded that our main hope for a prosperous southern agriculture is to be found in been .or will be trained in livestock, 9BfZliSjpBi? poultry products." ~~It- is to <be hoped* that the above appeal will have its weight with the Legislature when the' matter comes up for consideration. \ % *1 1 ) i , Ben M.

Me and my 4 brothers and 5 sis- 1 ters had been hoeing torn down in the bottoms that hot Friday, and when we came home....the clock was already sitting up on the fire* < board in the muin sitting-bedroom which had 2 big beda and 1 "trunlde" bed in it, .. But we didn't know anything about the clock till it began striking 12 while wo were eating. ^ We were so amazed and excited, most of Us either, got half choked or strangled to death.
