You owe a lot to truthful advertising. For one thing you owe - something of your good of health. Today the grocer sells more articles in sanitary packages and cans than ever n Today the butcher sells meat that is more thoroughly inspected and guarded than ever. Today the baker fur nishes you with bread, pastry, etc., made under more sanitary conditions and with better materials than ever. Advertising as a whole has done this. Our local advertisers know you expect the best, and they give it. Payingi the South's Tribute Taking note of the fact that the dates on which the various Southern states observe Memorial Day are scattered over a period of nearly six weeks, the Raleigh News and Observer suggests for the consideration of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the United Confederate Veterans of the South that some agreement should be reached for uniformity of observance. In Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida April 26 is observed and Monday of this week was elaborately observed throughout those commonwealths. May - 10 is Memorial Day in North and South ? Carolina. The second Friday in May is the (ay in Tennessee. In Virginia the observance is held on May 30, which is also the date set apart in the states of - the North as Decoration Day. In Louisiana the third day of June is ob served as Confederate Memorial Day. A concerted annual tribute by the entire South to the men who gave their lives for the Confedercy would doubtless be C fitting and impressive, and Yet we can s not feel that uniformity is a vital ele ment. ---Charlotte Observer. Uniformity might not be a vital ele ment, but we believe it would be much more impressive for all the people of the Southland to set apart one and the same (lay to observe as Memorial Day f'or those old1 soldiers. It would seem to better bind together the hearts of the people and make them feel more -like brothers and1( sisters of the South if in eachI Confederate state they lay (Iown their work and hold( memorial ser'vices in honor of Confederate sol diers the same dlay. And then there would not he so much confusion regard ing Memorial Day. The average citi zen of any Southern state dloes not know w~hen is Memorial D~ay. In South -Carolina Ma y 1(0 is Memorial Day, but in P'ickens Ju tne 3 (Jefrerson D)av' ' birthday) is observedl insten e e lieve J1une third s , lo lde MLm rial Day~3 m c.ry Confederate state. 1 Tlhe latest exchange to reach our desk is the A nderson Farmers' Tribune, e published semi-weekly at Anderson by t the Cheshire Printers andl edited by John H. Adger Mullally, with Victor B. Cheshire as guiding star. Mr'. Cheshire S is an experienced newspaper man and will doubtless get his share of business in his field. Ladies go awvay from home to buy their hats; men go away from home to buy their clothes, and some men go Saway from home to be treated for cer' tain troubles when they have the very phlysicians at home. For instance, there is Editor Gossett of Westminster. lie .got a little something wvrong with his eyesight, so he puts out to Anderson to see an occulist for treatment. We are reliably informed that the doctor' in , question) is a heart doctor and not an D eye specialist at all. But after all it R nmay be that F'ditor Gossett has hear't ai trouble. 1 * A Party of F is hermen 5 t Out of Mt.

BO T HE -9 t sheriff of Old ,Pi en strict accordI th b .formtion I (noth . ngacced .ttLI4th was Samdtil Reid, a son of .Jos eph Reid, who was a revolution ary soldter and settled a larg< tract of bhld in the fork of Keo wee and:Little rivers, which ii still owned by his descendants having been in the family ove one hundred years. Mr. Re served only one term as sherif and engaged . extensively it farming the remainder of his life except that part of it spent It the service of his country during the 60's; for, though adyance in years, he was among thl first to volunteer in defense o: the Southern cause. He ha< three sons: Joseph, who died I prisoner of war at Elmira, N. Y. James T., who entered the arm] as a private, rose to the rank o captain, served throughout th war and died at the old famil' homestead a. few years ago bearing upon his person evidenc of his bravery in wounds re ceived in battle, and George T. who entered the army with th, sixteen-year-old boys in Cavt C. L. Hollings worth's company and remained till the close o the bloody struggle. He is nov a prominent citizen and prosper ous merchant of Chappells, S. C There were three daughters o Mr. Reid: Mrs. W. C. Keith decased; Mrs. L. B. Lee o Chadpells, S. C., and Mrs. War ron Shelor of Anderson, S. C The second sheriff was Alex ander Bryce, who served on< term and was rather a note< character in his day, being , magistrate and for some timi major of the state militia.

John Bunny, the movie actor whc dliC1Ie~'f reetly, has perhaps receijved more ptublic notice through the news paper's than any One man~f in the United States, though he was known only through the pictures. But he made thousands uponi thousands laugh, and that ought to count for something. Many newspapers andl public men, both at home and in M-exico, are advis ing that tho-wa'y to stop the revolutior in the t/ country is by the starvatior - .This is one very effectual wa) to stop) war anywvhere, and it wouk4 work in Europe as well as in Mexico But the trouble is, as soon as any na tion gets hungry America rushes to the front and feeds them, and these sami newvspapers will make their busines: oflices a collection agency for the fund; and food for the starving nation; an< these same public men will be the firs and largest contributors. So it wvoub seem that the starvation of a natici within our r'each is an impossibility.

Oyle was.the thiid -her Of the old dietrict and was a very remarkable and prontinellt.iman. He served his r district in many other positions I of txust and honor, always with f credif to himself and honor to > his country. He was a brother to the'lAte Dr. 0. M. Doyle, de i ceased, of Seneca, and has a large number of relatives in i South Carolina and Texas. It ) was during the administration E of Mr. Doyle that the Hender. I son brothers were hanged for t the killing of Wilson. I have heard older people say that there r was . much excitement at the time, many believing one of the 3 brothers was innocent, as the r other one so declared at the trial and remained firm in this state ment on the gallows. I had some very interesting anecdotes of Mr. Doyle, but I regret to say they have been misplaced. Mr. Doyle was succeeded by L. 0. Craig in the sheriff's of fice, who served two terms and at the beginning of the war - joined the army and died of wounds received in some of the f bloody battles of Virginia. W. N. Craig, a cousin of L. ., was a war-time sheriff as - well as a brave and gallant . soldier. After the division of the old district he was elected 3 sheriff of Oconce and died in I office. I Samuel Thomas was the last 3 sheriff of Old Pickens District, I was a splendid citizen and made 3 an excellent officer. He died a i few years ago and has a large 3 circle of relatives in Oconee and Pickens. COW AND HER PRODUCT (These notes are prepared by the dairy division of Clemson College, which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying.] Calves need plenty of sunlight and good pasture to mature properly. If you sell butter, sell it in at tractive packages. People will 1 pay more for it that way. A fall calf becomes a producer when milk and butter' are most 'valuable. Remember this in breeding. You cannot afford to take 'chances wvith typhoid fever. Screen the milk house thorough ly and keep files out. Bloody miilk is duie to injury to the udder. To remedy, wvash the udder carefully with w arm water and apply lard or vaseline. Succulent, or green, feed is more easily digested than dry feed. It keeps the digestive sys tem in better condition and also stimulates the appetite. SA profitable cow may make Senough to support her'self and the boarders too. But why have boarder's? Put all to the babcock test. It never makes a mistake. Dairy cows should be fed all the roughage they will eat up clean and as much other feed as they wvill consume without tak ing on weight. A one-legged milking stool, madle with straps that fasten about the waist and hold the seat in place, is simple, easy to make and handle, sanitary and comfortable. Butter should be churned un til the globules are about the sIze of grains of wheat. This allows the butter to be washed well, which removes all butter milk and makes the butter keep longer. A calf should be taught to drink from a bucket within three or four days after birth. This wvill be0 better for the calf and will b~e very much better from the standpoint of the dairy's production. Tfhe utensils used for milk and cream should never be used for anything else and should be carofully scalded before using. Sunning is also good, since sun shine kills bacteria. Unclean pails and pans mean dirty milk, full of dIsease germs. Keep milk clean. HAVE YOU a telephone in your house?
