SUBSCRIPTION RATES: — Strictly Cash In Advance — One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months .50 OLD FASHIONED COOKS ^ Commercial bakeries have shown an increase in business during the past few years, with the products of the bakeries increasing 12.9 per cent in the period from 1923 to 1930, according to government fig ures. „ This calls to mind that home baking is almost a lost art. I n the good old days “baking day” was an event of first moment^ but alas, that occasion is rapidly passing. In truth, there are many present-day youths who will never know the “days of real sport” I Older folks can recall when the warm bread came out of the oven and was carefully wrapped in con tainers so it would not “dry out.” Finally giving way to unrelenting begging, “mother” would cut a slice of the delicious bread, spread it with heaps of country butter and perhaps some home-made jelly, jam or preserves, and then there beautiful pass work and each play er held her position well, but to Brunson and Rogers, forwards, should go an extra word of praise for the wonderful way in which they secured the goals. Edmunds for Washington, credited her team with sixteen points. The line up was: Ridge Springs Washington • Edmunds Right Forward ■ Ryan Left Forward Middleton Jumping Center Buchanan Side Center McDaniel Right Guard Drennan Left Guard Substitutes: — For Washington, Prescott for Middleton. . , Referees:—Miss Cone, Miss Her ron. Rogers Brunson Edwards Holstein Yonce Farmer The boys* team played Johnston on Johnston’s court one afternoon last week and went down in defeat with a score of 24-11. The game was very lively but the Washing ton boys couldn’t get the John ston boys under their control. The line up was: Johnston (24) Washington (11) R. F. Grim Wells, J. (5) L. F. Derrick (8) Buchanan (4) C. Watson (12) fiolloway (2) R. G. Herlong (2) Wells, P. L. G. Stilwell Bussey, O.

But times change—and perhaps the change is for the better some times. There is room for doubt about improvement in this change^ however. The food faddists say warxp bread is not healthful, but in the good old days it never seem ed to have any dire effects. —-x——, WHY ADVERTISE? Some have naturally raised the question—“Why do the cotton mills advertise?” Here is the re$soh: The cotton mills are the state’s largest producers, greatest con sumers, leading tax payers and principal employers. Anything that affects, the state affects the mills. Likewise any general act of the mills is felt throughout the state. The mill executives natural ly therefore recognize the respon sibilities of the industry as the leading citizens of the state and have therefore selected their best method of going directly to South Carolina citizens with vital facts unbiased and authentic through the medium of paid publicity facts concerning not only industry but agriculture, commerce, finance, education and the welfare of the state at large. They would there by help the press of the state car ry the financial burden of public enlightenment. It is their hope that the research of their statistical department may bring to light important truths that will be invaluable in solving many of the state’s prob lems. From every evidence, they have reason to believe that such has been the effect so far. As all South Carolina Cotton Mills are contributing to the effort, the cost to each individual* mill is neglig ible, not exceeding so far one cent per spindle. Taxes alone paid by the contributing mills represent 78 cents per spindle. The annual cost of the publicity is actually much less than one half of one week’s payroll of one large cotton mill in the state. X Johnston: Edison for Herlong; Culbreath(2) for Stilwell. Referees: Mr. Bishop and Mr. Savage. On this same afternoon a m^xed school and outside team from Washington played Johnston’s town team and Johnston won this hard fought game by four points. . Our boys went to the tourna ment Friday 13, which was held at Greenwood. Our team was sched uled to plaY Saluda. The Saluda boys won by the overwhelming score qf 33-13. The Washington boys were out-classed and didn’t have a chance to win although they fought to the end. « There were no special stars for Washington, for the whole team played its best but Wells and Hol- •loway, forwards, were the highest scorers. Trailkill, forward and Forrest, center, were the stars for Saluda. The line up follows: Washington (13) Robertson J. Well (5) D. Bussey \ P. Well (1) O. Bussey (2) Substitutions loway (6) for Saluda (33) Thrailkill (16) McCarty (1) Forrest (13) Blease Merchant (1) -Washington Hol- Robertson and Washington tligh School News We are sorry to report several cases of ’flu and mumps among our studehts. We also sympathize with Mrs. Mayer, a member of our faculty, who is confined to her home with mumps. Buchanan for Wells. Saluda:—Brown (4) for McCarty; Jennings for Forrest and Butler for Blease. After the game was over we played a game with the Greenwood second team. This game was greatly enjoyed by the spectators and the players. The score was 23-13 in favor of Washington. Our team witnessed all the games that were played Friday ex cept the one between Greenwood and Ware Shoals. By watchipg better trained teams than ours play it showed us our weak points. Altl>ough we were losers in thd tournament we all enjoyed the trip and hope to make a better showing next year. V The Washington line up against Greenwood follows: Holloway (1) Bradshaw (10) D. Bussey (4) Clyde Savage (4) O. Bussey Wells (2) for Holloway. tXt Governor New Died Wednesday Governor New, colored, died at Miss Annie Laurie Godbee spent home near Troy on Wednes- this week end in Waynesboro, Ga. da y February 11th, and was buried ' ’at Shiloh church last Friday, fun- Misses Margaret McKinney, An- eral serv i ces being conducted at nie and Minnie Jackson, Marion church by his pastor, Rev.

Col. W. Jasper Talbert (The Augusta Chronicle.) A picturesque figure was remov ed from South Carolina when death recently overtook Col. W. Jasper Talbert, for ten years mem ber of congress from the second South Carolina district, who died in Greenwood at an advanced age. Colonel Talbert lived at Parksville and was a frequent visitor to Au gusta. He was one of the great figures in South Carolina during the Tillman regime and was a leader of the Tillman forces in the days when the “Pitchfork States man,” as he was known in the United States senate, was at the height of his power. The Greenwood Index-Journal has this interesting sketch of Col onel Talbert: “Colonel Talbert was bom in Edgefield county on October 6, 1846 and therefore was in his 85th year. As a youth he attended school for at least one session in the acedemy here located in Old Greenwood, the present site of t|ie Brewer Normal school. He then was a student at Due West Academy and graduated from Erskine college. He entered the Confederate war as a youth and served throughout the four years, having been awarded the rank of colonel before its close. “Colonel Talbert was best known through his poltical career and his connection with the Farmers Alli ance. ' He was organizer of that organization and was one of the farmers of the famous Ocala plat form. “He was first elected to the leg islature from Edgefield ’ county in 1880 and served in the lower house until 1884 when he was a success ful candidate for the state senate. He later was elected superintend ent of the st^te penitentiary and served in that capacity for several years. “Col. Talbert was recognized as a leader in the Tillman movement of the early 90’s and was president of the Democratic convention which nominated Benjamin R. Tillman as governor. He was a delegate to the national convention in Chicago in 1892. In that year he ran for congress and defeated the late George D. Tillman, serving until 1903. He was a candidate for gov ernor in 1902 and was defeated in the second primary by D. C. Hey ward. Again in 1912 he entered the political field and was an un successful candidate against Sena tor Tillman. “Since 1912 Colonel Talbert had devoted his time to his extensive farming interests near Parksville, but he never lost interest in pub lic affairs or in the welfare of the Confederate Veteran.” Colonel Talbert had been a lead ing member of the Baptist church at Parksville for many years. He was one of the few surviving mem bers of the Confederate army liv ing in his section and was one of the most interesting men in West ern South Carolina. Throughout his long life he lived in Edgefield and McCormick counties and had thousands of friends throughout his section of the state. x NEW USE FOR COTTON The discovery of the value of cotton for use in the manufacture of mohair fabrics may develop in to substantial proportions in the near future. The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser in commenting on the new use of cotton for this pur pose, says: “Tidings of a prospect for in creased use of cotton is cheering from whatever quarter it comes, and so there is cause for the grati fication in the announcement that an enlarged market for the South ern staple as looked for as a result of increased consumption of mo hair fabrics, for the warp of which cotton is used. “The Mohair Institute, recently established, will seek to further the interests of the American mo hair industry, which is said to have experienced a tremendous growth since the World war. Researches will be directed toward improving the quality of the fleeces of Ameri can mohair goats and in develop ing new uses for the fabric. “Mohair is widely used in the up holstery of motor and railroad cars, in furniture upholstery and in the making of rugs, robes, draperies and clothing.” Mohair is being used in greater abundance than ever before. With a liberal amount of cotton worked in the manufacture of mohair, the consumption of cotton in this par ticular line of goods alone is bound to be felt in the reduction of the present surplus of cotton stored in warehouses awaiting an increase in price.—Augusta Herald.
