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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
