Force-Molting And
All-Night Lights
Clemson College, Aug. 25.—The
practice of forcing hens into a molt
during the summer or early fall
when eggs are cheap in order, to
start them laying in the early win
ter has been followed by a few
poultrymen for many years.
Most experiments, however, have
shown that hens allowed - to molt
normally made a greater profit
than those forced into a molt when
no lights were used, 'says P. H.
Gooding, extension poultryman,
calling attention to results of two
years’ trials at the Alabama Experi
ment Station. These show that
hens forced into a molt and then
put under all-night lights were
here this week. ' J *Hi^uch more profitable during the
Mrs. Horace Creswell, Mrs. E. C. Winter months than hens which

re not forced to molt and were
t put uiftfer lights.
“Hens may be forced into a molt
by discontinuing feeding a laying
mash and Keeping only grain in
the feeding troughs,” Mr. Gooding
explains. “After the birds discon
tinue laying and start molting, it
is wise to feed them a small a-
mount of laying mash daily, about
three pounds daily to each 100
hens. This may be moistened with
milk or water. When the hens
have been out of production for
two weeks they may be fed laying
mash in the usual way. As soon as
the hens get part of their new
feathers, the all-night lights may
be started, and two weeks there
after the hens should start laying.
“If electricity is available, a 10
or 15-watt light for each 100 hens
will be sufficient. These lights
should hang in the center of the
house above the mash hoppers and
water troughs. If one does not
have electricity, one kerosene lan
tern to each 100 hens may be used
satisfactorily.”

Huguenot Descend
ants Hold Reunion
Near Bordeaux
About 250 people, all descendants
of the early Huguenot settlers of
Bordeaux colony along the Savan
nah river, gathered on August
15th at the old home of Andre
Guillebeau, who settled near Bor
deaux in 1764, for their fifth an
nual reunion. The old home is lo-
cajt-ed near tl^e C. & W. C. railroad
halfway between the stations Wil-
lington and Bordeaux. The num
ber included representatives from
Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Florida and Alabama.
The principal speaker on the
program arranged by Chairman
Albert Guillebeau, of Lincolnton,
Ga., and J. Arch Talbert, of Mc
Cormick, was Lieut. Mark E. Brad
ley, professor of English at Clem
son college. He reviewed the his
tory of this early settlement of
these Frenchmen in a most inter
esting address.
The devotional exercises were
conducted by the Rev. Lennie Le-
Roy of Lincolnton, Ga., and several
humorous readings were given by
Miss Annie Lou Lankford, of Plum
Branch. Music for the d^y was
furnished by the Thompson String
band of Abbeville. During the
noon hour a bountiful picnic lunch
was served under the large oak
trees.
Among the many interesting cu
rios and heirlooms on display was
a small metal treasure box nearly
200 years old. It was brought over
by some of the first settlers, says
Miss Perryman, of Bordeaux, its
owner. Several carpenter tools be
longing to the early colonists, and
many old photos were also exhibit
ed.
A constitution with by-laws was
adopted by the reunion this time,
and a motion carried to change the
name to the “Bordeaux Huguenot
Reunion.” It had heretofore been
called the Guillebeau reunion.

Will Rogers
Uproarious In
Handy Andy
SHOWING ABBEVILLE OPERA
HOUSE WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY, SEPT. 5 & 6.
His Wife Wants Him to Quit Work
. and Play—He Does!
Will Rogers is uproarious in
“Handy Andy,” which opens at the
Abbeville Opera House Wednesday
and Thursday, September 5 and 6,
according to reports from the Coast
previews. In the picture his wife,
Peggy Wood, wants him to play—
and he does! And thereby hang
most of the hilarious situations
that go to make this his funniest
picture.
Things run smoothly as long as
Rogers is in his drug store. But
when he sells out and starts to play,
he finds life complicated. First he
raises pigeons, until they escape
into the house. Then he tries golf,
with screamingly funny results.
But the climax comes when he
goes with his wife to New Orleans
to attend the Mardi Gras. He re
fuses to attend the ball with her.
Later, however, wandering around
alone, he encounters a fellow drug
gist and his lovely girl friend, Con-
3hita Montenegro.
Mellowed by a few cocktails. Will
decides to attend the ball after all.
and he chooses a leopard skin as
his costume. A few more cocktails
lend him the courage to try an
adagio dance with the lithe Con-
chita. Then the fun begins. His
rough and tumble dance starts a
fight that ends in a riot. And
there’s a surprise ending that
hasn’t been divulged in advance of
the showing.

Micah 6 and 7.
Golden Text: Micah 6:8.
Our Golden Text was, it is said,
the favorite Bible verse of Presi
dent Washington. It was also close
to the heart of Theodore Roosevelt.
Rather does it concern itself with
the root activities qf the human
pilgrimage. No doubt we need for
malism. And certainly we must
have enthusiasm. And President
Eliot, of Harvard, made much of it.
Religion, insists Micah, is not
primarily ritual. Neither is it, at
bottom, ectasy. But of much more
importance are the justice, mercy,
and humility of every day living.
The need for justice today is ob
vious. Too long has man given full
rein to his predatory impulses.
Our present competitive profit
system places a premium upon the
exploitation of one group by an
other. Moreover it is subversive of
human values through its philoso
phy of strife leading inevitably to
international war and industrial
conflict the fruits of which are in-,
security, unemployment, and un
told misery. What is needed is a
planned social economy, thorough-
ly Christian in its implications.

A GREAT IDEA IS BORN
It was assumed that when a
woman married she took the gods
of lier husband; if he died and she
must go back to her own people,
she abandoned her husband’s gods
and took theirs again. But when
the ten tribes of Israel split away
from the tribes of Judah and Ben
iamin, Jehovah did not go to either
one or the other, but remained
with both. His worship was often
neglected, but in their hearts the
people knew that He was still their
God and always at the time of
tribulation they threw down their
idols and returned to Him.
The idea of One God—unseen
and not to be worshipped in visible
form—had been born in the world,
and had taken firm hold upon hu
man minds. This is the outstand
ing achievement of the Hebrews,
the thing which gives the Old
Testament eternal truth and in
spiration.
In its total effect the Old Testa
ment is a record of God’s progres
sive revelation of Himself to men.
This is the second element in its
greatness. Steadily from Genesis
to Micah the conception of His
nature and quality grows clearer,
bigger, finer.
We have referred already to
Amos, who was not a priest and
had nothing but scorn for^the for
mulae and ritual of the establish
ed religion. He saw the temple
courtyards red with blood and men
seeking through sacrifices to buy
the right to be iniquitous, and he
Cried out: “God cares nothing tor
sacrifice; He is a God of Justice.”
I l^ate, I despise your feast
days, and I will not smell in
your solemn assemblies.
Though ye offer me burnt
offerings and your meat of-'
ferings, I will not accept them;
neither will I regard the peace
offerings of your fat beasts.
But let judgment run down
as waters, and righteousness as
a mighty stream. ' *?
As a conception of the Almighty
this represented a vast step up-;
ward. In those same days another
preacher, Hosea, was adding an
other item to the expanding fund
of truth. Hosea was a married
man, and his wfie was a flirt. So
much so that Hosea was compelled
finally to put her away. His friends
said “good riddance,” but Hosea
was torn by lonesomeness, sorrow
and regret This woman who -had
wronged him—he still loved her.
Pocketing his pride he went to here
with forgiveness and took her back
to hi$ home.
out of that domestic tragedy
there came ,to Hosea a great new
truth. “If I, Being only a man, can
love so much and forgive so much,
surely God must be capable of even
more,” he said. Amos had told the
world that God is just; Hosea add
ed, “and kind.”
