Afterwards the teachers and I dis-
cussed the needs of the School, plan
ning improvements, etc. Their local
association had been organized by the
faculty and is doing splendidly. We
wtllfoon have established a reading
table for which I have obligated to
keep an ample provision of current
literature. ^The grounds of this insti
tution will also be laid off during the
sHnter.
I often visit Hickory Hill School over
which Mrs. Miley presides so success
fully. Here I find a good local organi
zation in school improvement work,
grounds are artistically laid off, flowers
and shade trees planted, a fifteen dol
lar addition to the library recently and
many marked improvements are evi
denced since the organization of their
association. This school affords an en
terprising Girls Canning Club whose
energy,' thrift and docility are unsur
passed.
On April 20th I visited thy club girls
in the neighborhood of Pleasant Hill
School. These citizens have erected a
splendid building on improved plans
which was dedicated on the 17th inst.
Our executive committee awarded this
school a second prize last December.
I enjoyed a visit to the teachers,
Misses Iferdin and Rountree, who so
skilfully manage this institution; while
there is no official organization in the
school yet they are steadily making
improvements. A hedge is begun and
shade trees are set out, pictures of in
trinsic worth are purchased for the
walls. This school promises to be the
center of community life. Time and
space forbid a specification of every
school visited, but suffice it to say,
since the United States Department
of Agriculture in, co-operation with
. Winthrop College has made the County
Canning Clubs and school work con
centric and correlative I am enabled to
" organize our school inprovement ( as
sociations without scrip or purse.
In my mind's eve through the medi
um of those associations and Canning
'Club work I see established, 1 trust in
the near future, the sweetest social
culture, courtesy, helpfulness, gentle
ness, deference, honor and chivalry,
all of which shall form the atmosphere
of community life.
When these come true my dreams
shall be realized, my mission fulfilled.
As a summary report of my work
, since February 1st 1 have driven with
team 762 miles, traveled on railroads
10()6 miles, conferred with ‘JS co-oper
ators and secured 80 canning club
members. Barnwell County is one of
four counties in the State to establish
Poultry Clubs. These were organized
by Mr. Frank Hare of Ueutfon College
the 22nd inst.
Mr. Hare will visit the county once a
month to look after that division of the
Club work. *
Tarn well is given precedence in the
culture and canning of tomatoes. We
have on gin tied a receipt which has
been adopted and will be printed on
unique Government iabtin We wilt
use No. 1 lacquered cans to com hat
with those shipped tro;n Spain and
my girls ere eirdeavwrng to make a
great succe-.s'*of the enterprise which
has been so decorously aecordod them.
The outlook is encouraging and we

For an ideal sweet potato land we
select a medium gray sandy soil,‘one
underlaid with a red clay and not too
near the top of the ground of medium
fertility and naturally drained. To put
the sol! in an ideal condition we grow a
crop of cow peas upon it the year before
and Let the vines remain. This vege
table matter should be thoroughly-
worked in with a disk harrow , and the
gtound broken deeply. At planting

military genius far excelled that of the
North.
The victory at Chancellorsville laid a
heavy hand on ■the South, for in the 1
loss of Stoniewall Jackson more- than
the valor of an army corps was taken.
From that time gradually the Southern
forces dwindled; apd as Lee faced
Grant around Richmond his army was
reduced In number and all supplies.
Nothing was left fhe South but to offer
herself a sacrifice upon the altar of
patriotism. The Confederacy was
ended and its epitaph full earned. No
nation' rose so white and fair; none felt
so pure of crime. The battles had
been fought and the armies were dis
banded.
Let us look for a moment at the con
dition of our Confederate soldiers im
mediately after the surrender. After
having followed the battle stained cross
against overwhelming odds, dreading
death not half so much as surrender,
these worthy sons of the South, footi,
sore and weary in their faded doats of
grey, turned their faces homeward.
And what did they find? Their once
beautiful prosperous homes deserted:
their houses in ruins, trade destroyed,
money worthless, in other words, they
were destitute of everything but life
itself. Picture, if you please, the sad '
situation. In this state of deprivation
they were confronted by one of the
greatest problenpp that ever met human
intelligence: the establishment of a
status for their liberated slaves. These
were indeed the hardest battles they
were called upon to fight. Did they sit
down in despair? Not for a moment.
Surely God, who stripped them of their
prosperity, inspired them for adversity.
While ruin was overwhelming restora
tion was never swifter. In those dark
days of reconstruction, bravely they
faced the political issues of the time.
We have a right io feel proud of our
Confederate soldiers, for their courage
and fortitude was not excelled by the
Spartans of old. These noble traits of
character are the things for which we
admire and honor them most. They
Lave won the fight, in the knowledge
descending as a blessing on their sons,
of the manhood and the valor, the devo
tion and the chivalry of our fathers, and
their high courage that, ever in the
face of utter ruin, took this despoiled
South of ours and raised it ffcom beneath
the feet of the conquerors 'and are
now placing it in the hands of their
sons to love and cherish.
Fewer and fewer we have the c'.J
soldiers with us, they 'are leaving us
one by one. Let us then cherish them
still that are with us. Let us cherith
their high purposes and brave deeds
when they, in the body, shall have gone
from us. t\nd Sans of Veterans, may
you fe!*! the resonpouSibih'ty that rest^
on you, and when you shall come to
place our beloved South in the keeping
of those that shall follow may you <U4j-
ver it brave and pure and undefiled,
even as it has come to yo(j.

writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s

Cardui; my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, 1 began to feci like a new woman. I soon ‘
