The pictorial map reveals that in
South Carolina are bought no poul

*swine, no peanut oil, no lumber, no
barrel shooks, no resin, no turpen

loses a great sum of money because
It buys from other states poultry,
dairy products, cattle, swine and
‘other stuffs that could and should
be produced in the state. South
Carolina is not selling these stuffs
in great quantity because it has
not, enough for itself. South Caro
lina could sustain itself, but it does
not. South Carolina buy4 from
other states quantities of things it
shbuld be taking from its own
fends. What part of the more
than $72,000,000 spent in the South
fn a year by Swift is spent in South
Carolina? The fault is in South
Carolina.—Charleston News and

one of these numerous forms by

Seal of authenticity was placed upon the teachings of Jesus Christ
by the glorious miracle of the resurrection of the body of our Lord,
which wondrous event we are celebrating on this Easter, rand not only
on this recurring day of the year but on every first day of the week.
For this reason many delight to call this day the Lord’s Day.
Early on that first day of the week a company of women wended,
their way to the tomb that they might complete the usual - e"* 1 horning
for which there was not adequate time, due to the approach of the.
Jewish Sabbath. An empty tomb revealed that He was no lowgerSj
where the dead body had been placed. It was beyond their-immediate^
understanding, though they were told “He is risen.” •
Then began a series of appearances. One especially is ^escribed—
that to Mary Magdalene, who tarried behind the group of women in her
eagerness to search until she found the body of her Lord. She fails to
recognize Hun through tear-dimmed eyes, but responds with bound
ing joy when He simply speaks her n^me—Mary. Then she is sent,
forth as a messenger of the googl news, even as all of us are similarly
commissioned to spread abroad the* story of salvation. Other appear
ances were to Peter and to the two when they supped with Him at Sm-
maus. That same night He manifested Himself to ten disciples-in !the
upper room in Jerusalem and gave the meaningful blessing: “Peace
be unto you.” This resurrection of the body of Jesus is a definite pledge
of the resurrection of our bodies at the Second Coming of the
God. That is the meaning of “the first fruits of them that are asleep’*
in the Golden Text, I Corinthians 15:20. ^ ">
Olga Jones—If you were half a
man you would help me off the
.rain.
James Dorn—If you were half a
woman you wouldn’t need any help.

Henry of the Methodist churcn. H?
gave us a most interesting talk, one
that we should ,all remember. His
scripture was taken from the

us that to make a success in life,
Roughages and other home
grown feeds play an important part
in the economical production of fat
beef cattle. Many cattlemen find
that it pays to grind or roll such
grains as wheat, barley, and grain
sorghums which are too small and
hard to be thoroughly chewed.
Coarse grinding is better than fine
grinding for feeding purposes, says
A. T. Semple, of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Grind-
