"Miss Curtis, whose father is a New York lawyer and a former assistant secretary of the treasury, is a graduate of' the Fermuta school, Aiken, S. C. "Bostwick is widely known ps a steeplechase rider and polo player. He was a member of the international polo squad in 11)31. . This year he participated in the national steeplechase at Aintree, Fngland. "He is the son of Mrs. Fitch Gilbert, New York $nd Gilbertville, N\ Y., and the late Albert C. Bostwick, and a nephew of Ambrose C Clark." t * * Inhibited Horses Here John K. Ottley, president of the First National Bank of Atlanta, and well-known sportsman, who was kidnaped from his Atlanta residence and I later released by the young Georgia j lad who had been holding him in se- j elusion, \sHll be remembered by many I horse lovers in Camden. He had a J siring of handsome horses here in the horse show of 11)12 which won the j admiration of the galleries. His horses captured several prizes at the Camden show that year. * * Sea GuIIh Fly Inland J. K. GofT, a farmer residing in the Antioch section, reports the unusual fact that early last Tuesday morning he saw six "sea gulls slowly winging their way northward, presumably driven inland by the storm of that day. Gulls have been seen on the big Wateree pond, near Liberty Hill, quite often but this is the first time reported seen away from the water. Grow Food And Feed And Build The Soil Clemson College, July 10.?Where; cotton is removed from production! this season through the acreage re- j duction campaign, the land thus re-j leased could he put to ho .better use ; than to supplement the feed supply , for livestock, say agronomist and live- , stock specialists. Though consider- j able progress has been made during recent years in producing feed stuffs 'needed on Southern cotton farms, many farms still fail to gro\v?all they need. | Furthermore, most farms still do not have sufficient hogs, cows and poultry for home supplies. Here is a chance, they suggest, to begin the wise practice of m??re f-td for more ^ livestock :n self-sustaining farming.

Boys Desert Camp For Holiday Trips V m ' A large number of the boys took advantage of the (two-day holiday given, which included July 4th, and celebrated Independence Day at home or in the mountains or at the beaches. The cares and duties of camp life were forgotten amidst old friends, .borne folks and familiar surroundings. As this was for many of the boys their first appearance in the home town since joining the conservation corps, they were riddled with questions "by the local people. "Where are you stationed, Joe?" " Working you pretty hard, Charlie?" "What kind of clothes do you worlc in?" "Been broken in yet, Hay?" We hope i the boys explained to them what activities were (being carried on and gave some idea how the forestry work would go on. In this company are boys from Kichluml, Aiken, Saluda, Darlington, Florence, York, and Chester counties, with scatterings from other parts of the state. Richland county has the largest number of boys and Columbia the largest number for any city. On Friday afternoon, June 30th, Mr. Nuite, Kershaw county forester, made a short talk to the boys, introducing himself and his work, besides explaining a few things that a forester should know. He pointed out the different kinds of snakes found in this part of the country. He explained what kinds were dangerous and what kinds were harmless. Mr. Nuite expressed his interest in the personal welfare of the boys as well as in the forestry work they will do. Classes of instruction in forestry work will be given, begining at a latef -date. The boys are fortunate in having Mr. Nuite helping them, as he along with government foresters and camp officials will supervise the work of the men. Mr. Connrd of Columbia is general superintendent of the work being carried on. The boys are eating fine. The camp site, surroundings and everything in general appealed to all from the first and there has been practically no homesickness around. Another noticeable thing is the luck of the usual j swarm of flies around most camps; very few mosquitoes are noticeable. The two first aids, the captains and the visiting physician are carefully supervising the health of the camp and of its members. Captain Ma'bry is. directing the welfare work of the camp; an orche*-] tra will bo assembled, composed of guitar players, a cornet player, a violinist and perhaps of other m^sicinns. An entertainment committee is working on a minstrel or entertainment of some kind to be given at the cnnip soon. Kenneth Williams, Darlington county boy, who has had some experience preaching before initiated religious services at Fort iMcPherson several nights out of the week. One night last week he had the orchestra out playing some old familiar tunes, several hymns; he made a talk on "The Meaning of Morality." Another member of the conservation corps haq had two years of training in Presbyterian Seminary work and these two men wfllfwork together. Two Sundays out of each month church services will be held by outside pastors visiting with us for the morning; the remaining, two Sundays some mem-; ber of the corps will have charge of the service. Efforts will be put forth to make this as fine and as wholesome a camp as possible. Several exhibition ball games have been played, and much interest is ; manifested in the groat American pastime. The boys are showing what they can do oach afternoon after 4 o'clock and it won't be long before Captain Mabry will have his team organized. A very good swimming pool was on ' hand when the hoys arrived and it is providing fine recreation and relief from the oppressive heat after work hours. Joe Logan and George Rhodes ' from Columbia and Charleston are the life guards on duty. On Saturday, July 8th, Kershaw' county sent 9 men to join the conservation corps. These young men from Camden, Lugoff, and Blaney are a welcome addition to the camp and make the number there around 200. We are sure that they will like the i camp site and everything as well as ' the rest of us. Edwin C. Kennedy, Camp Reporter. Opens Meat Market W. R.

President Sends A Message To South Washington, July 8.?With three Southern states approaching votes on prohibition repeal, President Roosevelt today put his force behind the ' Democratic campaign pledge to expel the Eighteenth Amendment from the Constitution. Pointing out that he had had inquiries from Tennessee; Arkansas and Kentucky as well as Alabama, Mr. Roosevelt sent a telegram to Leon MeCord, the Democratic national committeeman for Alabama repeating again his stand on repeal, i "I have made it cledV ever since my nomination a yetfr ago that I subscribe to the (Democratic platform 100 per cent," Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee vote, this month on repeal. The texl 'of the President'^ message follows: "I have received your telegram of July 3 in reference to the repeal of. the 18th amendment., i ^1 think I have made it abundant-' ly clear that the platform of the Democratic party adapted last year should be carried out insofar as it lies in our power. The special dhs- { sion of tho congress has already translated into law a great majority of the pledges mrfde. Ono of the pledges of thec>platform reads as follows: 'We advocate the repeal of the 18th amendment. To affect such repeal we demand that the congress immediately propose a] constitutional amendment to truly I representative conventions in the abates called to act solely on that1 proposal.' "The Congress has acted on this and many of the states are now engaged in holding elections for the conventions proposed. "Finally, I have made it clear ever since my nomination a year ago that I subscribe to the Democratic platform 100 per cent. "In view of th6 fact that I have had so great a number of telegrams similar to yours not only from your state but from Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and others, I am taking ' the liberty of giving this message to you to the press." William McLean of Tennessee, has been sentenced to death on the scaffold at Vegerville, Alta, Canada, for ' the murder of Walter J.

V. Sutherland, chief aninui husbandman. "Our problem here, as well a? i, the North and East is to carry th? breeding herds through the winter* M cheaply as possible," 8ayB ^ Starkey, turning to tho question of the cheapest and .best methods <rf carrying cattle through the winter. He makes the following helpful ?ug! gos lions: If a sufficient acreage of corn and velvet beans is available, about half of the beans may 'be picked by cheap labor and stored for feeding the la# half of the winter. The cattle may then be turned in the corn and velvet bean fields until the crop is consume^ after which they may be fed the beam which were stored. l*his should bring the cattle through in good condition, and will also help to improve th? soils on'which the corn and beau have been grown. Tho corn is u. ually snapped and stored for feeding', the work stock. Another very good system is'to reserve enough permanent pastures to carry the breeding herd until about January 1, and then feed some cheap roughage, such as stover, which should be supplemented with two to three pounds of cottonseed meal per head per day. Where cheap silage can be grown, 15 to 20 pounds of silage, five pounds of straw or stover, and two pounds of cottonseed meal per head per day will maintain a breeding herd of cows averaging 1000 pounds in weight.
