m V** FRIDAY, APRIL 7, IMi THE SUM , FIVE Society and CLUB NOTES Chit>Chat By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD South Carolina society last week end centered around the Carolina Cup races at Camden. This interest ing affair was attended by many from all over the State, not exclud ing Newberry. If you happened to have been there you probably saw some of the following: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Baker, Mrs. Clem Youmans, Mrs. C. C. Hutto, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Fellers, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Wicker, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter Brown, Miss Kittie Smith, Dave Hayes, and Mar ion Tarrant. The races attended by the above took place at two o’clock Saturday afternoon. Soon A Ph.D. In an interesting letter post-mark ed from Duke university, we learn that the well-known and popular C. M. Smith, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence M. Smith of Kinards, is hard at work on a Ph.D. The news is that “C. M.” has recently been given a full fellowship for, next year, the year in which he will complete his studies for the coveted degree. He had a part-fellowship this year— his first year. C. M. is only 25— imagine earning such a degree at such an early age. C. M. graduated from Newberry college, afterwards serving there as assistant math in structor and freshman dean. Last year he was teaching history in the Laurens high school where, we learn from many sources, he was very popular with students, teachers and the town people. We also hear from Duke that he is still pursuing his study of music. You will remember how talented he was at the college here in that line. To Washington A group of girls and boys who are. having one grand trip this week are the juniors and seniors of the Silverstreet high school who have gone to Washington, D. C., accomp anied by Superintendent John Grady Long and Miss Janie Lou Cothran, teacher. The group, numbering some 35 chartered a bus, leaving Spartan burg Monday. They return home today (Friday). • Plans were to mo tor straight to Washington and stay at the Burlington hotel. After tak ing in the sites at the Capital city they were to take their time coming back home, stopping in various states to visit all the historical spots. One night was to be spent at the Roanoke hotel in Roanoke, Va. Since school began last September the Silverstreet upper classmen have been • planning this trip. Each year prev ious the classes have made short vis its within the state. This year they wanted to do something “big and different.” And they really worked to obtain funds for their trip. They have given plays, dances, amateur programs, and beauty contests. They’ve sold advertisements on pro grams and hundreds of Christmas cards. Those kids deserved a big trip! Novel Discussed The popular novel “My Son, My Son” by Howard Spring was review ed by Mrs. Gilbert P. Voight at the monthly meeting of the Women’s club Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. D. W. A. Neville. I’ve been told that Mrs. Voight’s review was the most interesting heard by the club members in many a meeting. She simply fascinated the gathering as she re-lived the 600 page novel. Spring’s Book was not liked by all here who read it. Many pronounced it depressing. We all have our likes and dislikes in literature, how ever. I enjoyed the book immensely. Around About In an article appearing in this paper last week about beauty spots around the city, only a lew of the many that could have been mention ed were named. “Of all the places about town you wrote about last week,” someone said to me, “you left out one of the prettiest—the water works grounds and the lot ad joining.” Yes, that spot is one of the most delightful and restful-look ing places I’ve ever seen. It just can’t be done justice in a “write-up.” Might I suggest you drive up Nance street and se it for yourself. Many pretty tulip beds may be seen about town now. Those around the vet eran’s monument are lovely in the morning hours. On the lawn of the McSwain funeral home are two plots that take the eye—brilliant colored tulips on one side and rich-colored pansies on the other. Leaving The City 'Moving to Elkin, N. C. the first of May will be Mr. and Mrs. Tom F. Cooley, Mr- Cooiey having recently been made manager of the Klondike Dairy farms, one of the most out standing and finest Guernsey breed ing farms in the country. The Cool eys have lived in Newberry for many years, Mrs. Cooley being the former Helen Purcell. Mr. Cooley was for ten years connected with the . local county agent’s office as dairy spec ialist. The Cooley’s have one child, i Tommie, who is seven years old and in the first grade at Speer’s street school. This popular family will certainly be missed from the city. Chatter The W. H. Covington’s are moving into the attractive Scott house on College street from Hunt street. Mr. Scott wiljreside with them. . Mrs. Rosa Davis, mother of Mrs. S. E. Whitten, visited Summerville Sun day. She says the town is lovely... Cornelia Hipp of Whitmire visited her sister, Mrs'. Clarence C. Hutto on Sunday and Monday of this week. Cornelia is a student at Winthrop... Many other Winthrop girls have been here the past few days on spring holidays.. .Interesting visit ors in the city are Mrs. Jack Con over of Philadelphia, Murray Mc Intosh of Greenville, and Arch Booz er of Jacksonville, Fla... .Congress man George N. Seger of New Jersey, a frequent visitor here, is now with his daughter, Mrs. Fred Dominick, and family on Harrington street. He will be here until after Easter... Ethel Jones will spend Easter in Sumter with her sister, Mrs. J. G Brogdon.. .Visiting the A. T. Neelys Wednesday were Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Crabill of Maywood, 111, who are en- route to visit the gardens in lower state and take in the Azalea festival. TUESDAY PARTY GIVEN BY MRS. C. C.

BRYSON GIVES PARTY AND LUNCHEON Mrs. Gilbert P. Voight, Miss Mary Burton, and Mrs. Ford Kurtz were invited to play with club members when Mrs. H. M. Bryson entertained Friday morning at rook for members of the Emery Circle. All flowers decorating the hostess’ home on Harrington street were white —iris, spirea, and lilacs. The score cards featured gay-colored umbrellas and miniature umbrellas were used with the luncheon, carrying out the motif of April showers. At noon when Mrs. Bryson served a three-course luncheon Mrs. O. B. Mayer and Mrs. Bill Reid were in vited to join the party: UDC CHAPTERS ENTERTAIN Fo/l DISTINGUISHED VISITORS The two local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapters, the Calvin Crozier and the Drayton Rutherford, were host at a joint meeting Tues day afternoon at the home of Mrs. Walter H. Hunt on Calhoun street in honor of the State UDC president, Mrs. Hugh S. Farley of Saluda, a sister of Senator E. D. Smith, and the Piedmont district executive, Mrs. P. T. Dargan of Clemson. A large number of members from the two chapters attended. The front of the home was thrown en- suite and decorated with multi-col ored spring flowers. Beginning the program a quartet, consisting of Mrs. Clarence C. Hutto, Mrs. P. K. Harmon, Mrs. Clem You mans, and Mrs. Neal W. Workman, with Mrs. J. E. Wiseman at the piano sang “Long, Long Ago.” A solo, “In an Old, Old Garden” was rendered by Miss Marguerite Bums, with Mrs. Wiseman accompaning on the piano. Talks on the program, work and objectives of the UDC were made by Mrs. Farley and Mrs. Dargan. After the program refreshments were served in the dining room where the red and white colors of the Confederacy formed an attrac tive setting. The table was laid with a pretty lace cover and center ed with a large silver bowl of white iris, spirea, and red tulips. Red tapers in silver holders encircled the centerpiece and were festooned to gether with red and white tulle. Mrs. Steve C. Griffith and Mrs. Thad McCrackin, sitting at the table, cut the cream which was served with dainty cakes iced in white and red. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS Sunday afternoon there will be Sunday school at the St. Philips Lutheran church at 2:30 o’clock ami divine services at 3:30, conducted by the pastor, the Rev, Emmett Ruff. Everyone Is urged to be present on this Easter Sunday. Saturday was the first day of April and looked as though we had an April fool trick played on us. No one expected the large hail storm we had. About 4:30 in the afternoon the ground ws covered with hail, some as large as a bantam’s egg. On March 14th, 1894 the ground was covered with hail. Sunday is Easter and I wish all a joyful day. But we should all stop and remember what we are celebrating. It was on Friday many, many years ego - that our Saviour suffered such an awful death. It was on the Sunday following that He arose to live forevermore. That was and is a joyful time to cele brate. USE ound Author of Sifter Mery'i Kitchen Do you know what the gardener means when he says his soil is fer tile? Of course you realize that fer tile soil produces bigger and better flowers and vegetables but more than that, to most of us “fertile soil’ is just a farmer’s term. But if soil Is to be fertile it must have certain essentials such as prop er drainage, texture and tilth, avail able plant food and the right reac tion for plants as to their acid or alkaline requirements. First of all consider drainage. Given an ideal natural location th^ soil texture may need treatment to permit the ready removal by gravity of excess water following heavy rainfall. A soil of too coarse par ticles is unable to retain any mois ture as well as some of the import ant plant foods and is deficient in nitrogen and potash. Too fine a soil holds too much water and drains too slowly for best plant growth. So you may need to improve the texture of your garden soil by adding fine particles to coarse particles or just the opposite. Most garden plants do best in a soil that is not excessively gravelly, sandy or clayey and which contain humus. Humus, as you remember, is or ganic matter in the process of de composition, such as leaf mold, which absorbs and holds moisture. After the texture of the soil is made satisfactory the tilth is im proved by cultivation. Digging and working—cultivating—soil, developes a mellow condition which conserves a moisture, permits air circulation and increases the availability of (plant nurtrients. When you plan your flower garden it’s well to consider the likes and dislikes of the flowers. Some flow ers like sunshine all day while others prefer it for shorter periods. Some like an acid soil, others must have an alkaline soil. The design of the basin of the bird bath is of surprising import ance. The side must slope gently in order to provide the birds with a shelf or rim in which they can wade without finding the water too deep. This takes care of both the larger and smaller birds. The depth of the water at the outer edge of the basin should not exceed one inch and at the center and deepest place not over five in ches. Most of the smaller birds dread deep water or anything that looks like it, but will go eagerly to a bath which resembles a shallow sandy beach.

Patricia dow The need for general repairs and improvements of farm homes in South Carolina is evident throughout most sections of the state. A better living for farm families means more than just food, clothing, and shelter. Attention should be given to problems of health, sanita tion and conveniences. There are lots of things that can be done at little or no expense to make homes more attractive, more comfortable, and more enjoyable places in which to live. Then, too, repairs and improve ments add to the value of farm prop erty and protect investments already made. The cleaning up and burning of dead weeds and other trash and rubbish lying about the place aids in destroying the breeding place of insects and diseases. Tin cans, bot tles, broken dishes, and other waste materials that will not burn should be hauled away. Look to the floors, windows, and doors, these are other parts of the house that should be checked for needed repairs. Good screens fur nish protection against flies mos quitoes^ and other annoying insects that may spread diseases. All Home Demonstrations clubs and all 4-H Girls’ clubs have had pro grams along these lines and the mem bers will report at the April meeting ways in which they have cooperated in this undertaking, When we are planting our gardens we should have in mind our canning budget which, calls for 20 quarts of tomatoes, 24 quarts of vegetables, and 24 quarts of fruit for each member of the family. This coming budget is a guide to enable the housewife to provide and make possible a better balanced diet during the months of the year when fresh fruits and suffi cient vegetables cannot be produced. For Spring planting it is suggested that 50 tomato plants be set for each person and 25 plants per person in the fall For sweet potatoes, plant one- fourth of an acre and one peck of seed Irish potatoes. Raise enough chickens to have 25 laying pullets next fall. Start raising feed, fix the poultry house. Schedule of Meetings: Thursday—Little Mountain 4-H, & Hartford 4-H & H. D.

Anthrax There are three animal diseases which also attack man, namely an thrax, malta fever and glanders. Fortunately, today animal® can be vaccinated against these diseases, as human beings are against smallpox. The disease which concerns man chiefly in this special field is an thrax, not because it is common for man to contract it from domestic goats, sheep and cattle but because it is most frequently conveyed in furs and brushes made from bristles imported from abroad. Generally it is very fatal and it destroyed millions of heads of stock in Europe, before scientific men knew just how to treat it, the principal animals attacked being horses .swine, goats, cows, guinea pigs, sheep and rabbits. It has been called by various terms the chief ones being splenic fever, wool-sorter’s disease, rag-picker’s disease and malignant postule. Of all infectious diseases of animals this one has the greatest mortality rate. In Russia in one year almost 75,- 000 horses died from anthrax, as well as a proportionately large number of farmers and soldiers whose business brought them in contact with these animals. Death usually follows the initial symptoms in a very few days which are those of acute poisoning. Most frequently the anthrax germ comes into this country in bales of hides, bristles, furs, hair or wool, which despite fumigation, retain in most instances their virility. Last year there were ten cases re ported from one county in Pennsyl vania, the patients all being employ ees of a factory importing goat hair from India and China, which was made into inner linings for clothing. Many persons have contracted this disease from shaving brushes, the bristles carrying the anthrax bacilli, coming in contact with an abrasion on the face, neck or hand of the person while shaving. The health authorities in Pennsyl vania immediately opened bales of these imported hairs and bristles from the Orient and found the an thrax bacilli present in the center of the bales as well as on the sweepings collected from the floor. Experiments have shown that the anthrax bacilli is far more resistant to intense heat, antiseptics and ger micides than other germs On Your Next Job TRY Atheys R. M.
