The cold wiTe struck the South Saturday and it has been extremely cold almost ever since. | This ha B been a disastrous cold wave for the South, and It Is re ported,that grow-tn^crops have been very seriously damaged. The truck ing section has been hard hit. and Florida reports great damage to orange and citrus fruits, as well as vegetables. - Locally the cold Has injured all gardens and it is feared much small grain has been killed. Walterhhro has suffered greatly by broken pipe< and plumbers have been busy. Southern Carolina Bankers Association Secretary Reid, of the Southern Carolina Association, is attempting to form a Southern Carolina Bank ers Association, ami has sent om the following letter to the hanks of Southern Carolina: • The four counties in lower Soutli Carolina have been ' drawn very close together by the formation of the Southern Carolina Association, and the purpose of my letter to you today is to suggest the organization of a"Southern Carolina Hankeis As sociation. The boll weevil is almost at our door and as the bankers play a prominent part in the upbuilding of a community it appears to me that nothing would be more beneficial to the people, as well as to the banks themselves, as an organization of this kind. It would enable the of fleers of the banks to And out what their neighbors are doing and to work together in case concerted ac tion was necessary. Quarterly meet ings of the banks could then be held and much accomplished by this co operation. Before f go into the details of forming this association. I wish you would write me fully your views.in regard tre-this matter and whether you would desire to become a mem ber if such au association was formed. Yours very truly. S. L. REID.

The bill, as ’offered by its au thor. allowed intoxicating liquors or beverages to be stored "in the home or private room of the person or persons so storing same.” The house adopted an amendment intro duced by Representative Daniel of Saluda, which eliminated this one concession. The act as it went to third reading prohibits the trans portation. delivery, receiving, stor- ing or, keeping of any alcoholic liquors or beverages within this State, excepting for medical, sacra mental and scientific purposes, and then under strict regulations.

The tanning club work will consist of the same that it did last year with a few additions. In ad/ dition to planting tomatoes, the girls will be permitted’anti encour aged to eultivate pimentos and can them for the mayket along with their tomatoes. This will he a splendid addition, and we hope that the girls, and all interested will be delighted with it Also okra and coin will be added to the plot to be utilized In soup mixtures. We are expecting great things from the girls! Tlii' poultry work will .require that each member hatch off three sittings of eggs, ail to he off by May 1. We expeet the boys to run a race raising chicken.* and pigs, and to raise more and better chickens than the girls do tomatoes. It is hoped that a woman’s club can be successfully organized in ev- I ery possible community. The ob ject- is to get the ladies to eome to- i gether once a month to be social, land to be of service to each other. Ifemonstrations and instruettons ! will be given along different lines of w'ork, such as the best methods of butter making; the construction and use of the iceless refrigerator and the fireless cooker, and other extremely simple, inexpensive con veniences for the home. # I We cannot hope to do all at upce, , but the following program is plan. ; ned for the week beginning Feb. 12.
