VETERANS PEA IS HESTER. More Successful Reunion Never Held by Confederates. Chester. April 25.?The Confed- J erate veterans of South Carolina, who concluded their annual reunion here this afternoon with the election of officers, are loud in their praise of Chester's hospitality, and declare the Chester reunion of 1917 to have been one of the best in the history of the division. Gen. B. H. Teague. of Aiken, was reelected division commander, and Gens. W. A. Clark, of Columbia, and C. A. Reed, of Anderson, were reelected commanders of the First and Second brigades, respectively. Xo invitation was received for next year's reunion, thougn it was stated on the convention floor this afternnnri that Qnmtor urmilrl v K?-> V " VU 1VA uc host to the veterans next spring. Gardening in Barrels. 1 was talking to an expert gardener on the train this week and he gave me some ideas about gardening in barrels and boxes which I think will be helpful to city folks who have little or no garden space. We can raise potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, egg plants, etc.. in boxes. He says you can plant and grow Iristy and sweet potatoes in barrels and "make more than you can in your garden. His plan is . simple, inexpensive, reasonable and I believe it will work. I saw a gentleman today who lives on South Church street and he says he grows Irish potatoes in barrels and you can grow one and a half i ? uusueis m a. nuur uarrei. Plan for Irish and Sweet Potatoes. Take a barrel and cut air holes around the barrel about one to two inches in diameter; put six or eight inches rich dirt in the barrel and plant the potatoes about four inches apart until you have covered the entire space in the bottom of the barrel. When the plant gets up about four inches put more dirt in the barrel. Do not cover the bud. As the plant continues to grow follow with dirt, fertilizing in the meantime, until the plant grows out of the top of the barrel. Potatoes require a lot of water and you can water the plants as needed. The plants will finally grow out oi the top of the barrel and bloom and be an ornament in your back yard. Potatoes will form and make all the way up the vine and fill the barrel. Sweet potatoes can be grown in the same way. I do not know whether they will keep through the winter in the barrels or not, but if they will we could roll them under the house and . have our crop harvested with little trouble and have potatoes banked for the winter. This sounds good, doesn't it? Cucumbers. Take a cracker box, or any kind of box, and fill it with rich dirt and sink an ordinary flower pot in the centre of the box. Cork up the hole in the bottom of the pot. After-^.he in the bottom of the pot. Plant the seed all around the pot. After the plants are up and take root, fill the pot with water and keep it full. The water will seep through the pot and supply moisture to the roots of the plants and you will have cucumbers all summer, and grow more than an ordinary family will use. Onions. This man says you can grow more onions in a wooden trough eight | inches deep and ten feet long than you can from several rows in a garden. Plant them close together and ' use very rich dirt and you will be ' surprised how many onions you can grow. Tomatoes, celery and eggplants can be planted and grown in pots and 1 nail kegs and grown to perfection. This plan appeals to me as I have ' no garden spot, but can grow them in my front and back yards. You can easily cultivate and water your crop ' and save expense of plowing and digging in your garden. The only tool necessary is a small trowel or table J fork and you will have no grass to contend with. I am writing these suggestions as the food situation is of vital importance to all of us, especially city folk. It will certainly not cost much to 1 try out this plan. Next Saturday the Hammond-Brown-Wall company will give a demonstration at the store on "Gardening in Barrels and Boxes." These suggestions may be old. but they are new to me. especially growing Irish and sweet potatoes in barrels. T know the merchants of Spartanburg will be glad to give all of their empty barrels, kegs -and small boxes to encourage the movement of "gardening in barrels and boxes."?C. P. Hammond, in the Spartanburg Herald. Some estimates plac9 the quantity of timber that will be required by the countries now at war at 50.000.000 cubic feet. D.WCiKJl OF STARVATION. Commissioners Urge Necessity foi Prompt Action to IVevent Famine. Washington. April 2 7.?Conferences between France's war mission and representatives of the United States government today broadened in their scope. The French mission left Paris with unlimited powers to negotiate with the United States on all subjects? military, naval, financial and economic?but at the time it was believed that little more would be required of it in this country than to salute France's new brothers in arms. The mission has found, however, that definite and specific cooperation concerning the war against Germany are desired and the con 1C1CUV/UO <xi c? nu? yi i/Lccuiu^ wn mat basis. What France Needs. .Members of the mission in conference with various officials informed them today that the things France needs most from the United States are money, food in quantities, fer- j tilizers, coal, steel, oil and transportation equipment for service, both on land and sea, especially a great j number of ships to carry materials from the new to the old world. The ground work for joint conferences of the British, French and American representatives was laid during a talk between British Foreign Minister Balfour and Rene Viviani, head of the French conferees. The Ile(l Sandstone Is Millions of Years Older Than the Gray Basalt. If we were all as intellectually curious as we ought to be. the foot and the brow of the wonderful Palisades would be lined every fair holiday with eager readers of the great rock-bound book of the earth's history. The hard, gray stone that you sawwas indeed trap rock, or basalt; the softer, crumbling red and brown! stone was sandstone or what geol-j ogists call the Triassic, or sometimes! Jura-Trias, formation. It dates back j to the period immediately succeed- j ing the Carboniferous, or coal-form-! ing age. Its rocks are characterized j by their reddish color, and the red j sands found so abundantly in North-: ern New Jersey are due to the dis-j integration of these rocks. They are milions of years older, than the trap which overlies them in; the skirts of the Palisades. They! were laid down as sandy deposits at j the bottom of shallow arms of the! sea, but the substance of those de- j posits was itself once in the form of; solid rocks?so often has the face | of the earth been kneaded up and j made over again. At last came a grand outburst ofj internal iorces, driving a great mass: of molten rock up from the depths,1 forcing it through faults and fissures! in the already existing rock layers, j somewhat as an old-fashioned sau-j sage machine forces a corrugated roll j of ground-up meat out through its spout, and this rock cooled into the huge ridge of columnar basalt that we name the Palisades. As the molten mass welled up, rising from the depths on an upward incline toward the east, it pressed wider apart the tilted rock layers through which it was squeezing its i way, and at the same time fused them, to a greater or less extent. Where you found alternate layers of half-decomposed, friable, red sandA hn rrl v fron oil hno T*_ I MUIJC ailU iiaiu ^ I a,> uai;, ail 1/vui ing evidences of partial merging through fusion, there must have been tongues of the hot. viscous rock thrust between strata of sandstone, along the edges of the invasion. Millions of Years Ago New Jersey W as Built on a Mosquito Paradise. I The front of the slowly, but irresistibly, advancing mass where it j emerged above the surface presented a steep face toward the east, and as it cooled it shaped itself into huge pillars and columns, according to the habit of such rock, as exhibited all over the world wherever it has come up through the cooled crust. The Giant's Causeway of Ireland, Fingal's Cave, off the coast of Scotland; Mount Holyoke and Mount Tom, on the Connecticut river; East and West Rocks, near New Haven, and the hanging rocks above Paterson, X. J., are striking examples. West ot tne ransaaes in .\ew jersey you will find that the red sandstone was lifted up on the back of the rising mass as it crept upward and eastward. Afterward came the so-called Age of Ice. when glaciers ground the summit of the Palisades, and streams and lakes of glacial water formed immense deposits in their ice. now turned into picturesque, red soiled hills. In a long trench on the west of the Paiisades. bottomed with hard, leakless rock, has gathered a line of swamps which refuse to drain away, and. as every form of life on the globe finds somewhere an environment which particularly suits it. so here the high-piping mosquito discovers an abode which it evidently thinks that Providence intended it to keep. KXGLAXI) KECK IVES LOW. United States Assumes Groat Britain's Former Hole of Banker. Washington. April ?The United States today stepped into Great Britain's former role of banker for the allies with a $200,000,000 loan to Great Britain herself and the promise of other speedy financial relief to Italy, France and Russia.

April 26.?Official ad-, vices to the State department today said the Mexican government had warned Germans in Mexico that any concentration of Germans near the American border will be followed immediately by their arrest.In conveying this notice the Mexican authorities explained that they could do no less in view of the fact that a state of war existed between Germany and the United States. Officials of the American government were gratified by this first practical manifestation of Mexico's proclaimed neutrality. Suggestions that her proclamation of neutrality was only a thin covering for a more friendly feeling for Germany, never nave oeen accepted oy tne American government, but knowledge of the instructions of the German foreign office to Minister Eckhardt, in Mexico City, to do what he could to secure Mexico as an ally in the event of war with the United States has caused all developments in Mexico to be watched carefully. President Carranza's recent decree providing a heavier export tax on oil and its derivatives has not been construed by the State department as an intentional blow at Great Britain, but merely what the Mexican government calls it. a measure to raise much needed money. If You Have a Baby, You'll Know. He is a pretty nice baby boy, and the parents, particularly daddy, are proud of Billy. The three of them were on a Central avenue car on their way downdown, daddy and Billy occupying one seat, the mother another not far away. Billy was attracting considerable attention from jthe passengers, which kept daddy smiling benignly and quite occupied with his heir. He did not seem to realize that he would finally reach the street at which he was to alight, but became suddenly aware of the fact when he noticed the car had stopped and he saw his wife leaving the car at the front door. Passengers enjoyed his hasty grab of Billy, with a view to making exit, but before he could get away a man he knew entered the car and not knowing of the father's intention blocked the seat while he chucked the baby under the chin, told the father what a fine boy he had, etc. In the meantime the passengers continued to be amused, but this time at the father, the mother in tht meantime standing shivering in the cold wind in the street. The conductor doubttess thought of many things he could say, but laughter got the best of him and, with the belated theatregoers, he waited good naturedlv for the excited parent to break away and let the car proceed.?

James in the canebrakes of Mississippi a party of a score of the most noted hunters of . the South and Southwest bade one another adieu here a few days ago and departed for their homes. Five full grown black bears fell before the hunters. Turkeys and ducks were so plentiful that no count was kept of the number bagged. A deer was also among the spoil, but the hunters ran across the deer ac cidentally. ^ The hunt was given by Col. James, . 1 1 - ?

To feel your best, day in and day out, to feel clean inside, no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti- N pation, bilious attacks, sick headache. 2 colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the in- 2 side like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities ^ into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well known kidney specialist. ' 3 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, 2 kidneys and bowels, drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a kidneco tablet then take it before dinner and supper with a glass of cold water. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach get a dozen kidneco tablets for a quarter from Mack's Drug Store, Bamberg, S. C., or Peoples Pharmacy, Denmark, S. C.; they are inexpensive and act quickly. Drink hot water every morning with kidneco to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to pre- ? vent their formation. To feel like young folks feel, like you felt before your blood, nerves ana muscies ueeame sauuiaLeu wuu an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and, above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so kidneco and hot water, before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. CITATION NOTICE.
