THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS By William Cullen Bryant The melancholy days are come, the saddest of ihe year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods and meadows brown and sere. Heaped in hollows of the grove, the autumn leaves lie dead; They rustle to the eddying gust* and to the rabbit’s tread; The robin and the wren are flown, and from the shrubs the jay; And from the wood-top calls the crow through all the gloomy day. The wind-flower and the violet, they perished long ago, And .the brier-rose and orchids died amid the summer glow; But on the hill the golden-rod, and . Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of’ McCormick County, I have seized the following described prop erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday, No vember 2, 1931, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCormick, South Carolina, and Hie proceeds of the sale will be applied to the payment of the said taxes and the cost of said seizure and sale, to-wit: The property of Alonzo Seigler, being a part of the estate of J.

This land being a^ cold heaven, as falls the plague on men, And the brightness of their smile was gone, from upland, glade and glen. And now, when comes the calm mild day, as still such days will come. To call the squirrel and the bee from out their winter home; When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, though all the trees are still, And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of the rill, The south wind searches for the flowers whose fragrance late he bore, And sighs to find them in the wood and by the stream no more.

L. G. BELL, Judge of Probate, McCormick, S. C-, Acting Master. Sept. 25, 1931.—4t. FEAR— Almost everybody is afraid of something at some time or another. Right now the whole world seems to be in a state of fear—not fear of war but fear of poverty. I think these fears have been exaggerated by all of the loose talk about busi ness depression and unemploy ment. There is a certain justifi cation, of course, for the man who is afraid that if he loses his job he won’t be able to get another right away. Too many people are letting that sort of fear inter fere with their work. It ought to be a stimulus to work better and harder and so reduce the risk of losing the job. The people upon whom fear rests most heavily today are those who in flush times enlarge their scale of living to a point where their reduced incomes do not now cover the expenses they have in curred. The only happy people, after all, are the ones who have got their fixed overhead expenses down to a point below their assur ed incomes. They are the only people I know who are not afraid. QUALITY— There is always a market for any kind of a product which is of high er quality than the general run of commodities in the same line. Somebody will always pay a qual ity price for the best. I know a woman who makes home made bread, of such high quality and flavor that she has a market among wealthy families for all that she can bake, at twenty- five cents a loaf. Of course, she can only make a limited number of loaves of bread a day. If she made more, hired other people to do the work, she probably could not keep up the quality, and would have to reduce the price. I know a farmer who has made more money off five acres every year for the' past few years than any of his neighbors have made on a hundred acres. He sells fresh vegetables, but instead of shipping them in bulk to the open market he packs them in fancy baskets and boxes, even wraps some ;o: them individually in cellophane. There is always a market for quality goods. SPEED— Several states have taken off the speed limit on automobiles entire ly, holding drivers strictly respon sible for reckless driving but let ting them go as fast as they want to travel in thinly populated dis tricts. There are no more motor accidents in these states than there are in others which try to regulate speed on all highways. Part of this is due to the greater stability and better control of the modem automobile, especially since four-wheel brakes have become standard equipment on all cars But a large part of it is due to the fact that we now have a genera- ;ion of motorists who began to earn to drive when they children. I was forty before I ever sat be- lind a steering wheel. It is im possible that I shall ever become as good a driver as my daughter, who began to drive when she was fifteen and who has better con trol, even of a heavy car, more self-confidence and quicker re actions, thatv. anybody who began driving late in life can possibly have. Anything which calls for skill, courage and co-ordination of mind and muscle must be learned young to be learned well. AGE— I had a visit at my farm a few days ago from a young man of 75 who, with his wife, who is in her sixties, was making a round of vis its from one brood of grandchildren to another. This old friend had never tried to drive a car until he was 71, but he had driven on this trip from Florida to Iowa, then to Illinois, Wisconsin and across to Northern Michigan on the Canad ian border and thence eastward across Ohio and New York State. He stopped off to see me on his way to visit a family of grand children on Cape Cod Bay, and was going to drive back to Florida from there. ten years younger. They attribut-; p ui E' t ed that to the fact that, even in 11 «VOraDIC f HClOtS what most of us call old age, they are not afraid to try new things. SHIPS— I have never seen a greater con trast between the old and the new than the contrast between the old American fighting frigate Consti tution, and the great new German flying ship, the DO-X. Both of them came into New York Harbor about the same time. If the men who manned the Con stitution in its famous battle had been told that their grandchildren would live long enough to see a ship actually larger than the Con stitution, flying through the air at ^ < *• » q being done in some counties,” say^ T S “ h ° Ur L - V.

For Cattle Raising STARKEY SAYS GOOD OPPOR TUNITY FOR FEEDING IN STATE CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 17.— “No one will doubt that we have a great deal of cheap land, and all are agreed that the grazing season in South Carolina is much longer than in the great beef producing sections of the United States, and it is easily possible to improve our cattle of rather miscellaneous breeding with purebred sires as is We make equally wild predic tions today. Probably a hundred years from now nothing will be as the prophets of today picture it. X LATEST ‘' Marshall) So many readers have asked for a simple diagram pattern for an evening jacket that we have been looking here and everywhere to find a jacket that was not too intricate. Some of the simplest in appearance proved to be too com plicated when it came to making a diagram that could be easily fol lowed. Finally we chanced to see just the thing—easy to indicate be cause all four pieces that go to were Experiment Station, who holds that cheap lands, well bred cattle* a long grazing season, and cheap winter feeds are needed to produce feeder cattle properly. The rather difficult problem of feed for the winter months may be settled to a large extent, Mr. Star- key says, by holding back a certain amount of permanent pasture in the late fall and by using small grains for earlier spring pastur ing, thus shortening the winter feeding period at both ends. As to cheap feeds for this winter feed ing period, Prof. Starkey suggests o&t straw, especially if it can be stored to retain its feeding value and palatability. He claims that good oat straw supplemented with one to three pounds of cotton seed meal will bring the cattle through the winter in fair shape. Other possibilities for winter feeding are com stover, Johnson* Dallis, and Bermuda grasses, and other carbonaceous roughages'. Even honeysuckle may be utilized if other feeds are exhausted. “The opportunity in beef pro duction,” Prof. Starkey concludes, “lies in taking these rough unsal able feeds and manufacturing them into salable beef.” 1 xx STAY WHERE YOU ARE (Spartanburg Herald.) % d H make it up are - perfectly^ straight, and therefore easy to cut once you have the right dimensions. To make the little packet in the sketch you will need taffeta silk cut in strips, hemmed on both sides, then stitched together. * On each side, extending over the shoulders, is a strip four inches wide and 28 inches long. In the jack, connecting these two pieces, is a strip four inches wide „and twelve inches long. The piece for the belt is three inches wide and ong enough to go around the waist and tie in a bow—a yard and a half or more. Here are the measurements in the diagram: AB and HK, 4 inches. AC and KD, 28 inches. AE and KF, 16 inches. FE and DC, 4 inches. FD and EC, 12 inches. CG, 3 inches. The points X and Y are four inches apart. B fastens at X, A astens at Y.

X Those who have visited' the larger cities of the country in re cent months, the centers of popu lation, return with stories of unem ployment* our own part of the country finds it difficult to under stand. Hundreds - of men, and* some women, asleep in the parks, men asking for money with which to buy food, encountered on every block, hold-ups for small sums of money the victim has been seen to receive in change, illustrate the experiences to be encountered. When such conditions are known to exist, it j£ the part of wisdom'$0 advise men out of employment to stay away from the cities. The secretary of labor officially warns persons out of work-to stay away from the centers of popula tion, making the statement that: Authenticated reports from mahy sections of the country prove that thousands of unemployed men and women are. leaving their home areas to seek work in the larger urban centers. . Those of the un employed who inUnd to move in a search for, better; things should be told that the cities are able only to care for their own unemployed. An influx of work seekers adds to the difficulties of the local resi dents and of those going to seek work and finding none. It is far better for unemployed persons to stay in their home local ities where they are known, may have relatives and friends,-- and where their working qualifications are well known. Migrations from place to place make conditions worse, both for the work seeker and for the .communities which they seek to enter. The overcrowded conditions in certain cities of the country due to the influx of the unemployed have brought new problems to the local authorities. It is far better for the work seeker to remain where he is than to start out to se§k elsewhere something which the present crowded urban, conditions make it virtually impossible to ob tain. tXt Try baking sweetpotatoes and apples together.
