Men and Women ,of 'South Will Save Day by Wearing Home Product. A. H. Ninestein, Esq., secretary' of the Blackville Buy-A-Bale-of-Cotton Association, thinks that the men and Women of the South can do much to wards solving the present cotton prob lem by wearing clothes made of the fleecy staple, writing as follows: While the country is coming nobly to the aid of the farmers throughont the South in purchasing cotton at 10 cents per pound, the fact remains that this cotton will have to be consumed in some shape in the manufactured pro duct. While there have been numer ous suggestions made as to how to con sume this cotton in manufactured pro- dUThsTbatGiave heretofore been neg lected, 1 would like to add a suggestion which I believe if earnestly advocated would result in consuming as manufac tured goods countless bales.

Davies and son, Master Ben, Jr., and Mr. S, D. Mortis, The People’s "contest man,” enjosed a trip through the lower part of the coun ty Thursday. Ulmer, Fairfax and Allendale were visited. The crops are splendid in that section and cotton is opening rapidly. The gins passed e’n route were all busy end man) hales of cotton were noticed in various farm- yards. Some farmers are selling, the writer was informed, but many seemed determined to hold for better prices. For the most part the people met were cheerful and “keeping a stiff upper lip" in’spite of the fact that the Euro pean war had caused a decline of about $25 a bale from last year’s priegs. The editor was glad to renew the ac juain'- ance of old friends and make new ones. BISHOP GUERRY COMING. Ronald Corbin Gyle* Rank* High Baptiat College of N. C. Blackville, September 28.—Special: The many friends of Mr. Ronald Corbin Gyles, the qnly son of Dr. and Mrs. universal Ryan A. Gyles, will be deeply gratified to learn of his brilliant achievements and the noteworthy record he has made at the Baptist College of North Carolina. He will finish his course at Wake For est next June, taking the B. S. degree, and a further indication of his success is the fact that he is now assistant to the chair of Physiology and Biological Chemistry and assistant in the Labora tory of Phamacology. Mr. Gyles is only 20 years of age and was graduated with high honors from | the Blackville High School on May 25th 1011. After completing his course at Wake Forest, he expects to enter Cob umbia University, New* York, and pro cure the degree of M. D.

This suggestion likew ise applies to the ladies w ho would be willing to wear duck suits or summer clothes made entire!); out of cotton. If we could get the retailer Interested, which he should he to urge the manufacturer to put this line of goods on the market, and the ladies urge the manufacturers of their line of goods to put them on the market throughout the United States, it would permanently retire thousands of bales from the market. This new line would open up a new industry and give employment to a great many hands. If 1 remember cor rectly there was a manufacturer In Aiken county' made some suits and presented them to President Wilson and there was a great deal of comment on the neatness of the suits. ** If we can not get the Northern man ufacturer tp manufacture these suits let the men’s furnishing houses get together and induce some manufacturer in the South to manufacture these goods for salt.

Clemson college urges fanners in all parts of South Carolina to put a con siderable part of their land in oats this fall. A crop of oats three times the size of that of last spring is ad vocated and already farmers are re sponding in large numbers and indi cations are that a record crop of oats will be produced by South Carolina this year. W. L. Hutchinson, professor of agronomy of Clemson College, has prepared in simple form, a statement of all the facts about oats which it is essential for farmers to know at this time. A summary of this statement, is presented below. ■ . The climate and soils of South Caro lina are well suited to oats. They are adapted-to £L wide range of soils and good yields may be had on lands vary ing from sandy to heavy clay loams. The crop may be harvested for grain or j cut for hay and sown ip the fall is ready to harvest the latter part of the following May or the. first of June. | Oats may follow cow peas, corn and | cotton, so that practically all the land on the farm is available for an oat crop if desired, and there will still be time left next year for all summer crops. While it is usual to grow a hay crop after oats, both cotton and corn may be grown. Oats may be sown in cotton by using a one-horse drill jusLbehind the cotton pickers, this being one of the mostsatb* factory and least expensive methods of seeding. A stalk cutter may be run later in winter to chop the cotton stalks so that they will not interfere with the reaper and binder at harvest time. ere oats follow corn or hay crop, such asxtow peas or sorghum, the land should be'pljjwed and the oats drilled in, preftrably^Hliough the seeds may be sown and diskedin. Where a larger drill can not be had, a one-horse drill with three or more tubes can be used here as w^ll as in the cotton. ^Xhese drills distribute the fertilizer as as plant the seed, and are, therefore, economical. Oats planted with a drill are not so apt to winter kill as when planted broadcast and plowed in or harrowed in after the land is plowed. Still another method, where there is much danger of the oats heaving, is to plant in the bottom of a furrow made with a shovel plow. rplghum and Appier or some strains of red rustproof oats should, be sown. Fulghum is about two weeks earlier than the others. The amount of seed sown varies all the way from halLa bushel to the acre to seven bushels to the acre. One artd a half to two bushels per acre is an amount widely used and gives good results. In drilling, less seed is re quired than by other methods. Oc tober is perhaps the the best time to sow r oats but they may be sown earlier and later with good results. GERMAN’S RIGHT WING IS SAID TO BE BROKEN Pwi* Dispatch Says AlHa* ara tha Kaisar’s Troop*. London, September 30.—12.15 A. M. —A Pgris dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says: “It is said here to-night (Tuesday) that the German right has been en tirely broken and is now being pur sued by the allies. All the automo biles in Northern France have been requisitioned for the purpose of pur suing. “Armed motor dars with mitrail leuses also are being used to pursue the retreating enemy. “The official communication issued at 3 o’clock demonstrates unmistakably that the Germans have been surround ed in the Somme department, the front extending farther east. “It is stated officially that Peronne has been recaptured.” |!he foregoing message has been re ferred to the British official press bu reau, which while not objecting to its publication, takes no responsibility for its correctness. AGRICULTURE CLUB IS URGING REDUCTION Ellenton Organisation Think* Lagulaturo Should Tako Action. Ellenton, *Sept. 28.—The Ellenton Agriculture club held its regular monthly meeting Saturday. The at tendance was large, several visitors from a distance being present, and much interest was shown. The chief subject for discusaion was the cotton situation and the importance of the work now being done by the SoutheJa Cotton congress. The buy-a-bale plan was indorsed and the secretary, C. T. Bailey, was told to buy a bale from some small farmer, at 10 cents per pound, draw on the club treasurer for amount, place the bale in the club room and hold for further instructions' of the club. The following is a copy of a resolution passed at this meet- Thg: Resbl 14 14 14 Ived, That the Ellenton Agricul ture club does indorse the plan of at least 50 per cent, reduction in acre age of cotton for the year 1915, and that we do request the delegations of Aiken and Barnwell counties to cast their vote to that end with the legitim- • lure meets October 6 to enact laws for the farmers’ relief under present cir cumstances.” COMMISSIONERS OF ELECTION APPOINTED alia Governor E lease Make* Appoint Accordance with Statute*.
