We dream of the day that is dying

And the one that shall come in the
morn, * . .
And we grieve for the hopes that lie
shattered with blight,
And we fear for those yet unborn.
We think of the rose that is fading to
night.
And the bud that shall wake with
the dawn
And the sounds that were hushed with
the twilight’s last breath,
As the shades of the evening drew
on.
Let us bury the day that is dying to
night
With the flowers of hope freshly
sprung,
While the stars light the path to the
new, golden gate,
Whose brow no cloud of anguish hag
wrung.

A True Friend
Watch out for the man who urges
you into a fight. There are ten people . ‘
who will urge you into a scrap to one
who will back you up after you are into
it.
True friends are few and far be
tween, the kind that will back you -up
in time of need. One mighty good
friend that never goes back on you is
the big round dollar. It works at in
terest for you night and day, is al
ways willing to do your bidding and
ready to render you service. Don’t
throw your dollars around recklessly.
Good friends are rare. Put your dol-
las in a good bank like ours, where
they are safe and ready to serve you
when needed. This is as good a time
as any to begin. 1

Miss Mary Howard, of Savannah,
arrived in the city Sunday afternoon
and will spend sonve time with Mr.
and Mrs. William McNab.
Whether it is to be used as a foot
for the table, as a feed crop for the
animals or a producer of starch, th
sweet potato is probably one of the
most profitable crops the South Caro
lina farmer can grow.
The best method of planting sweet
potatoes is with cuttings from vines.
If slip beds were not set out early
enough this year for plants to be
sufficiently large for good vine cut
tings at this time, or if no slips were
grown, it is advisable to buy cuttings
from a neighbor. . Planting slips is
more expensive than vine cuttingss.
Besides, the fungi which produce rots
are less likely to be carried on a ivine
cutting than on slips pulled directly
from the old potatoes. Thus potatoes
grown from vine cuttings will probab
ly be freer from rot than those grown
from slips
A fe'.'.’lizer suggested for sweet po
tatoes u 500 pounds of kanit, 300
pounds of cotton seed meal and 200
pounds of 16 per cent phosphate. This
should be applied at the rate of 800
to 1000 pounds per acre.
Frequent shallow cultivation in im
portant in sweet potato growing, as in
the culture of many other crops.

It turns on and off like a gas stove. Its
