This was no reflection on Pete, though, because it was just a rehearsal. On Tuesday real fire will be set on government land, and a photographic record will be made of the fire crew as they load, drive to the fire, * and put it out. The whole camp will enjoy holiday on Labor Day. Foreman Tompkins and his crew have finished driving the piles on both the new bridges. On the twenty seventh of Aug ust the Camp Bradley baseball team and the Edgefield team tied, ten to ten, in a hard-fought game that was called because of darkness. In order to play off the tie another game will be played, probably at Bradley, in the near future. * Harold Bussey is now working on the Santee-Cooper Dam as a drill inspector. We wish him con tinued success and want him to know that he will always be wel come back at Camp Bradley. Mr. Charles X. Grano, new Junior Forester in the Long Cane, is now located at Camp Bradley. Mr. Grano’s home is in Philadel phia, and he was formerly located in the Cherokee National Forest, Tennessee. -rxx- Card Of Thanks From Mrs. Duncan Through this medium I wish $o fegpress my sincere thanks for ytttir confidence and vote on Au- giigt 3t)th.

Mt. Carmel, September 6.—The passing of Mrs. Lillian Cason which occurred at her home here Saturday evening at seven o’clock following a very long, painful illness was sad news to many friends throughout the State. While Mrs. Cason had been very ill for over a year, it was just the last few weeks that the doctor, nurse and attending friends realized that the sum mons was near at hand. Mrs. Cason was the eldest of eleven daughters of the late Mrs. Fannie T. and Mr. Barrett L. Jones and was 67 years of age. She was a woman of fine personality, and many noble traits of character, a faithful wife, lov ing mother and a true friend. In early womanhood days she united with the Methodist Church and always was true to God and her church. In all these long months of suf fering she was patient and cheer ful, always glad to see her friends who received a hearty welcome. She always was interested in the affairs of the State, county and community. \ She married Mr. H. S. Cason about 48 years ago, and one son Mr. Frank Cason, survives. Other survivors are 7 sisters, Mrs. J. R Maxwell, Cleveland, Mrs. Ellis Henderson, Charlotte, Mrs. G. M. Patrick, Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs Bayard Cason, Albany, Ga., Mrs L. S. Thomson, Chapel Hill, N. C. Mrs. W. H. Pinson, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. J. B. Knight, Greenville, S. C., Mrs. E. R. Vandergrift and several other nieces. The funeral service was con ducted at the home at four o’clock Sunday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Allen of Calhoun Falls Methodist church, assisted by Dr. S. W. Reid of the Mt. Car mel A. R. P. church, in the pres ence of a large number of sorrow ing relatives and friends, and short while later she was gently laid to rest in the Mt. Carmel cemetery. The exquisitely lovely flowers were the tributes of love from many friends. Mr. W. A. Harris, funeral director.

Flock record demonstrations in McCormick county show that poultry grown by recommended practices will pay a profit. There are many farmers in the county who are using poultry as a means of side-line farm income, while some others are deriving prac tically their entire living through the sale of chickens and eggs. Some poultry is sold through co operative shipments, but in many instances the farmers themselves, market their products individually. For instance, a large percentage of eggs consumed in Greenwood— 25 miles away—come from the farmers of McCormick county. There was a regular epidemic of chicken raising ahd egg produc tion in this county some fifteen years ago. Diseases (most of which can be controlled) set in, however:, and many of the farmers became discouraged. But the memory of what farmers had profited from poultry still lingered in the minds of these McCormick county farm ers. Scientific and practical prac tices were brought to their atten tion. Some of the old-timers de cided to start all over again. New blood was willing to try a hand- And now McCormick county is coming back into its own as m. poultry-producing section of South Carolina. Not a sudden wave of excitement and mad scrambling, to get rich quick out of poultry but a gradual development of the industry. ' . There are several large flock; owners including L. C. Talbert and P. J. Dowtin who have con tinued in the poultry business since the days more than a decade ago when it appeared as if di seases would make it almost im possible to eke out a margin at profit from chickens and eggs. Both Mr. Talbert and Mr. Dow tin use new ground for growing, out their chicks. Neither time nor labor is spared when it comes to keeping their poultry houses clean. Neither do either of these men run the risk of diseases again wiping out their flocks. They vaccinate Against sorehead religiously and should one of the chickens get sick it is immediately taken away from the others am* given a thorough examination. Careful check is made on egg; production and culls do not re main on either of these farms for long. Both men produce white leghorns and they say thejr wouldn’t swap them for any other- chickens on the face of the globe. : i ‘ T. E. L. Class Has Meeting The T. E. L. Bible class of the local Baptist church was enter tained Monday afternoon of last, week at the home of Mrs. T. C. i’aulkner with Mrs. R. L. Faulkner, frs. F. A. Cosey, Mrs. T. J.
