? : . &w\ I SPR K BOnBHnaKSSEBS I A Fin take COLLEGE LIFE AT WINTHROP. THIS WOMAN'S MICROCOSM NOT AVERSi TO THE RECORD'S WEEKLY IE - VISITS. . Winthrop College, Rock Hill * March 2:?It has been quite a while since we have seen any thing in The Recorp from Win. throp, and we wonder it tne readers would like to know how this busy woman's world is progressing. Perhaps it would interest them to know that we are not so busily engaged in affairs of our own. that we do not have time to wish for our home paper to be filled with cheerful, newsy letters. It gives the Williamsburg girls much encouragement Lt to know that their home county I is keeping pace with the rapid T strides of progress that are being made elsewhere. | Last Thursday evening the I .Davidson College orchestra and F glee club gave an entertainment L for the benefit of the College Annual of 1909. The exercises ricere much enjoyed, because the fboys seemed to feel the real spirit of the music and took much interest in them. m r\rn i n rr thf Fresll ill^uuaj ?MV? men and Special basket bail teams played their annual match game, Although the wind was blowing very cold and made it ^unfavorable for good playing, still the game was quite lively aqd the Freshmen won by a score of 11 to 2. Next Mondaj there will be a match game be tween two other teams. ^JMtss Mary George White, th< ^~^raveling secretary of the Stu dents' Volunteer movement spent Sunday and Mondaj* visit ing the college.

Truck Prospect Fine?A Shad Supper -Local and Personal Matters. : | Harpers, March 23:?A number of1 town people went on a fishing frolic last Friday night. We left Harpers j at 5 o'clock p m for Pine Tree lanu-' * j iBg on Black river, where our crowd was met by quite a lot fishermen and 1 in a short time we had shad in abun, I dauce. We soon had a "pine bark , | stew'' which all present enjoyed j greatly. After feasting until 12 or ; 1 o'clock our party had all the shad , i they wanted to take home. This well known, historic landing on ! Black river furnishes great fishing ,'sport for the people of Williamsburg, the name "Pine Tree" being synonymous with "shad" hereabouts daring the season. Mr Arthur Hardie, one of Harpers' bright jonng men who has spent the past two years in Memphis, Tenn, has returned to his old home, bringing with him a fair bride. His many friends here extend a cordial * i ii i- - i i welcome ooin to nun auu ma lair lady. Some of oar farmers have planted beans, cantaloupes and cucumbers and have line stands. There is also a lot of other truck planted from which good results are expected. We have had low freight rates granted by the G & W R R, also crates and baskets can be bought cheap, so that if there be no backset, we will have a quantity of truck to ship in the near future. The writer will ? have cabbages ready to ship by April 15. If truck raising succeeds iu ' this little town and neighborhood the honor must be given to your " paper, as you have stood by us in our efforts to organize an association. ; If we meet with any degree of suc" cess your scribe will feel amply re> paid for his weak efforts in this " matter. : Just a word in reference to my f double barreled antagonists, viz, I Moody's "Red Coon" and some other kind of coon at Spring Gully. 4 The coon at Spring liully retera to ' my kindred and my wife's kindred * at Moody.

Two Civil war veterans, John W j Wallace and D W Lazelle, have just i1 completed in their home village of Manceiona, a card-playing contest!1 that has lasted for twenty years. Two decades ago an agreement wasj made that the village championship 1 should be accorded to that one of! the two soldiers who could win ten, consecutive games. Night after night, alternating between the two homes of the contest- 1 ants and omitting Sundays, the contest has gone on for a score of ' years. ! Seyeral times Wallace id nine ' games to his credit, only to lose the tenth to Lazelle. But patiently and carefully the score was kept, and it 1 is said that in all the twenty years of playing not an angry word was 1 spoken by either. ' When Wallace won his tenth con- 1 secutive game Wednesday night, 1 Lazelle promptly challenged for 1 another series, but Wallace declined, on the ground that neither he nor ( his opponent would live long enough to complete another contest.

We publish it. believing that it will interest a large number of our readers: Editor Constitution: Cotton is now selling below the cost of production. As a business tip to spinners and consumers, I would advise them to load up right now with all they can hold. From the present outlook the staple is going to 12 1-2 cents or higher this summer aod next fall, and it is going there to stay! No amount of manipulation can bring it down. And these are the reasons: We have bad the worst aod wettest spring in eighteen or twenty fears. The gronnd is moist and soft. Farmers can't plow effectively under a week. And when they do, all the guano in the world won't help much, because of the water in the soil. I believe the crop will be reduced east of the Mississippi river 12 1-2 per cent. The farmers have found out, at last, from sad experience that they can't pay $1 a bushel for com, 12 1-2 cents a pound for meat and $200 for mules. Therefore, I am convinced they're going to plant more corn than in auj year since the Civil war, and a great many of them will ;e their own mules. High corn : ^i^eat ,e done more and will o more . reduce the acreage than an. other one factor, I think. If we raise all our corn and a portion of our meat, sow peas and make our lands more productive, we can cut down, by a tremendous per cent, the number of hands needed to take care of the cotton crop. And that means lesseniug the cost of producing cotton and a higher price. If the farmers of the South follow this plan religiously for three years, we will be able to price onr own cot ton. We will see no more the spectacle of the spinner giving the farmer what he pleases. The boot will be where it ought to be on the other foot, like it is in every other branch of supply and demand. We can, too, look for more damage from the boll weevil than any previous year. They thrive and propagate on a warm winter, and they will get their work in early. It will not be long, either, before they will be spreading to the hitherto immune States of the Atlantic coast George WTruitt LaGrauge, Ga, March 14, 1909, j J, D.

For many jean I consumed much medicine, and in fact tried every means in my power to get cured of that terrible disease, rheumatism, which had undermined my health. I visited Hot Springs, Ark., without gaining relief, and at last in sheer desperation I took P. P* P. (Lippman's great remedy), and was in a short time en- tirely cured. In the eight yean since that time I have not had a symptom of rheumatism. P. P. P, did the work to my entire satisfaction and made a quick and permanent cure. Yours truly, Nicholas Lang. i
