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

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

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

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.

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.

the first made by the American government
since its entrance into the
war and, for the celerity with which
it was negotiated, less than twenty e

Carranza Warns Teutons.
Washington. 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.?

HE AH HUNT COSTS $3,000.
Mississippi Colonel Entertains Large
Gathering of Sportsmen.
After spending a week as the guest
of Col. Tom G. 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, .

SPECIALIST SAYS EVERYONE '
SHOULD DRINK HOT WATER
IN THE MORNING.
Wash Away All The Stomach, Liver,
and Bowel Poisons Before
Breakfast.
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.
