Unkempt Premises Some one writes the Holland's Magazine ubout the appearance of many small towns, and the point is well taken. The article points out that many homes are marred by unattractive and negligent yards and premises, such as fences being down, trash around the place, weeds and grass being where they ought not to be, all of which is more noticeable to travelers than to tho ro?i dents "who too often become used to such surroundings. There is no excuse for any of these things. There are not many people nowadays who have not time enough to keep their premises in good order?certainly neat and clean.--Bamberg Herald. r ?> NO-MO-KORN FOR CORNS AND CALLOUSES Made in Camden And For Sale By DeKaH) Pharmacy?Phone 95 ROliT.

This organization serves both North and South I Carolina and has considerable mentI bership in both states. Last year a meeting was held in each state, one ,it Orangeburg. S. C., and one at Whitcville. N. C., for the. convenience of growers, but due to the lateness with which the meeting is held this year and also the desirability of having a central meeting every second or third year, it was decided to hold the coming meeting at Florence, which is as near middle ground in the territory as possible to select. All members and interested friends of the association are urged to attend this meeting. It will be mostly a business meeting and the features of the program will be made, public later in the week. This announcement was made through the association headquarters at Florence upon authority of C. L. McCaslan, St. Matthews, ~S. C., who is president of the association.

C., April 6.?The growth of the domestic rabbit industry in the Carolina* during the pant live years in far past the belief of us Carolinians, and with thip growth it's natural promotional outfits have come j in to sap up much of the profits that! rightly .belong to stay within the two states. This industry ?? here to stay; it is a profitable one from either a back- J yard, vacant lot or on a commercial j basis. Five years ug<> this industry | in our two states would not reach, $5,000.00 in valuation, but today $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 ia> a fair and conservative estimate. In spite of this tremendous growth promoters are coming into our two states with their high-powered salesmen, offering to our people who are not familiar with the standards and requirements of the various breeds, what we term as culls or third or fourth grade stock at fabulous prices, claiming they are of a special strain which is absolutely false, In some Cases they are selling these rab-, bits from $12.50 to $30.00 each. They are picking up this stock from the middle and far west at $2.00 and $3.00 delivered to their addresses. There is a firm similar to this located in Charlotte and jus^ recently this firm was sued on a fraud charge and judgment rendered. They solicit the innocent?persons knowing absolutely nothing of the requirements as they can't interest persons knowing the( least about the standards as set up by our National Associations. These firms specialize on one of the white breeds as a r.ule as it is much easier to fool the beginner with one of the white breeds as defects of fur, type, weight, arc ^ess noticeable. Again, they buy stock that has been crossed w?th various breeds of white I rabbits. The white breeds that are recognized are as follows: New Zealand "White", American "White , Flemish "White" and the Bevern "White." While these breeds are all pure white their fur, type and weight have no comparison. Much of the stock sold by these firms are crosses which makes these rabbits worthless only, for meat purposes and the market price for meat on old stock is 10 cents to 13 cents per pound and this is the stock they are selling as high as $12.50 to $30.00 each. In addition to this; they trap their prospect by offering them a ten-year buy-back contract, which is not worth the paper it is written on. Their, plan is to load up a section of the country and slip out over night. I Some of them have made fiv? and six chupges in three years time. One ( outfit recently sold $250,000.00 worth of rabbits in and around Wichita, j Kans., in nine months?and skipped/ Think of this?do you want this to happen here in the Carolinas? i In their literature and canvass to their prospect they claim from a, $02,50 investment as much as $1,000 can be made the first year. .lust think how foolish this sounds. It's not only foolish, but unreasonable . and impossible. Right hero in the Carolinas you have the Carolinas Rabbit and Cavy Breeders Association, headquarters, located in Charlotte, X. C. This organization is purely educational; they, have nothing to sell so it can't be a, grafting outfit. It is made up of two hundred or more breeders right here in your tw* states, and for the asking you can get a list of their names nod addresses and the breed of rabbits they raise. When you buy from one of these breeders you know you are getting what you desire?and paying only a reasonable prico for same. The average price to pay for first class stock is $6.00 to $7.50 but of course animals that have won ribbons in keen competition uro naturally worth more. This information and any other that you may desire is yours by merely addressing the Carolina* Rabbit and Cavy Breeders Association, Charlotte, N. C., and enclosing 2c stamp for reply. GEORGE EASTMAN . . j ?? The city of Rochester, Western New York, the nation and the world has suffered a distinctive loss in the death of George Eastman, which occurred at his East avenue home in that city Monday noon. While it is difficulf to understand why he should have ended his own life, calmly and deliberately, there is much in this world that we do not Or cannot understand. How we die is not so important as how we live. Mr. Eastman was a man who reserved to himself the right of deliberation as well as of decision. This power has been reflected in his large life and it is not surprising that he should have made the same election in his death. "My work is done. Why wait?" was the terse, vet warm note he left in the room in which ho ended his life with a shot fired into his heart. Mr. Eastman was 77 years of age and for some time had experienced failing health. Months and possibly years of invalidism were undobutedly repellant to this active mind and body. "Why wait ?" For over fifty years he had been intensively active and a pioneer and leader in an industry that grew from nothing into the hunrdeds of millions under his leadership and direction. His gifts to science, to education, to music, to art and to health followed closely in the wake of his accumulation ofworldly goods and aggregate approximately a hundred million. To his own city he is said to have given $35,000,000. He gave unobtrusively and with a keen discernment of the resultant benefit to his fellow men. He lived to see much good and hap-1 piness come out of his gifts and perhaps no one of toda^ could say better than he, "My work is done. Why wait?" Possessed of rare qualities as a business executive, Mr. Eastman gained the loyalty and best endeavor of those associated with him. He shared the possibilities of the rapidly expanding Kodak business with associates and employees in the same spirit that prompted him to give millions for the betterment of the world. Those privileged to know him intimately found him a charming companion, but his natural reticence precluded the friendships he might have possessed. As the years unroll and the results of his benefactions expand the name of George Eastman will loom large in the progress of his native city?even larger than it docs "today. This has ever been so of our truly great men.?Lcroy, N. Y., Gazette-News. Lee Mack, Charleston negro, is in jail on a disorderly conduct charge for perpetrating an April fool practical joke. He wanted to have some1 fun on April Fool's day. He filled some delicious-looking bon-bons with red pepper and strolled nonchalantly down the street. "Want some candy?" he said to a little girl. She eagerly accepted and bit into one of the sweets. A howl of surprise andf pain followed. C. O. Hearon, chairman of tha1 state highway department, said Saturday that he believed people of Spartanburg should know that there is imminent danger of having the work of paving Federal highway No. 176, between Spartanburg and the North Carolina line, stopped indefinitely during the next few days unless the state highway department is able to finance the contractor, locally, to the extent of $100,060. One thousand automobile drivers licenses for men and women have been suspended by the state highway department for drunken driving, it was announced at Columbia Tuesday. The total number reached 1,005 the past week-end with five revocations for a year each, upon verified complaints of habitual reckless driving.
