Twelve Things To !>:> Cn The
Farm This Month.
(I) S- <? that the seed bod for fill I
crops Is not merely we'i broken but;
thoroughly pt:!\cii^e;l by harrow-!
in# and disking. An ounce of pre-;
paration may be worth a pound of |
cultivation.
(2> Get ready with \v--s :e.s ant!1
harrows t;? k'll the grass b- \< re it
c lines up. D.in't he afraid of hurt-'
; nr r?ir> c1 ,.T:1 r".'! rii.' !i:: litl.'H. '
(;{> Place orders for a!! improved!
plows, harrows,wee lors, cultivators. J
and other labor-saving tools and ma. j
chin cry. Get ready to make your i
crop with cheap horse labor instead i
of expensive hand labor.
(4? Don't waste time and sweat j
on scrub seed or scrub stock this j
year. Improved vareties will pay as!
well with field crops as with garden j
crops.
(5) Get ready to share with the |
Western fanner his golden flood of!
profit^ in raising hogs and cattle.
First of all, g-?t an improve I breed,
and then arrange to feed economically.
With proper pasture crops
both pork and beef can be made
more cheaply in the South than in
the West.
(G) Of the over $50,000,000 spent j
in the South for fertilizers each year
at least $10,000,000 is wasted through
ignorance of crop needs and soil
needs. Try to stop your part of this
colossal loss.
(7) Join in the great corn-raising
revival now sweeping over the
Soutn. The biggest corn crops the
world has known have been made in
the South, and we are just waking
up to the fact that Dixie can beat j
the Corn Pelt itself raising this'
king or cerais.
(8) Don't forgot the garden, and !
don't mal e your/vife do all the work'
in it. Remember, vegetables are!
cheaper than meat and more health- j
fa!/
(9) We cannot have good fruit
now without spraying. A good
spray pump will often pay for itself
the first year in the orchard
and potato patch.
(10) Drag the roads after every
rain. The split-log drag is the
cheapest good roads maker ever invented.
(11) Paint the farm-house and
whitewash the outbuildings that you i
do not care to paint. It will jjav j
yon simply in your increased sense
of pride and dignity.
(12) Get your boy to join the
Boys' Com Club movement with an'
acre of corn, and give your girl a
flock < f pure bred chickens. And be
sure to let each one have the money

Vox, March 14:?Mr Kenneth:
McDaniel, who has been ii! for sopie
time with pneumonia, shows no improvement.
we regret to report.
We also learn that Mr J T Buddy's
mother is critically ill with the same
malady. Mr Caddy is at her bedside.
this being the third lime recently
that he has been summoned
there. We truly hope on his return
to hear that she is much better.
It seems that our section has been
infected with this disease during
the fall and winter and it is proving
fata! in a number of cases. We can
only hope that this affliction will.
soon pass from our community.
Our neighbor, Mr DJ Jacobs, lost
the company of his only daughter, ,
i\Iiss Sapora, at the will of a youw
man?Mr McDowell--who doubth
thought he needed her worse th '
her father did. At any rate /
left on the 10th inst.,during*'pap
absence and without his consent,a..
were joined in holy wedlock. W
wish the young couple all the joy
there is in life, and hope the father
will be reconciled to his loss.
Nothing has been heard recently ;
concerning the railroad from Florence
to Georgetown. This road is
needed so badly that it would do us (
good to hear something about its j <
prospects. We expect this road to \
pass through here and certaiply
there is no other section that needs i
c? liiiJiumj n wioc.
Mr W H Parnell of Zeb has been!
re-modeling the house he recently!
bought here and we understand that;
he will move to this community soon.

turned home.

FINE FIRE FIGHTING.
Dwelling Saved When Destruction
Was Imminent.
I
Tuesday afternoon, a little before
2:30 o'clock, the alarm of fire di-1
rected attention to the cottage oc-;,
cupled by Mr and Mrs 0 H Patrick,
in West Kingstree, tlie roof of
which was in llames.
As quickly as possible the two
new chemical engines were rushed;
to the scene and held the fire in I
check until the bucket "brigade,",'
backed up by "Our Pet," got into;
action.
At one time it appeared hopeless!
to try to save the building, but by i'
well directed, energetic work the.]
house, although considerably dam- j
aged about the front roof, was still
haii table when the flames were put I
out.
In times like this all the popula- j
tion of Kingstree present a united j
front against the fire-fiend and it
is really wonderful what the "bucket
brigade" backed up by our fire- j
fighting apparatus can accomplish, j
The colored people lent their aid as <
willingly as the whites and there I
were individual examples of skill j
and daring that would do credit to
trained city firemen.
Just how the fire originated is'
conjectural. Mrs Patrick had only
a small fire in a chimney piercing
the body of the house. The general
supposition is that a spark from the!
chimney found lodgment among the
dry shingles and the blaze kindled
ate its way into the roof.
Mr and Mrs Patrick having only
recently suffered a disastrous fire
they are to be congratulated that a
repetition of their misfortune was
averted.
Good health is impossible when
there is any derangement of the digestive
organs. Foley's Orino Laxative
is a natural remedy for stom- 1
ach, liver and bowel troubles. It)
aids digestion, stimulates the liver, j
and cures habitual constipation.

Mr J M Truiuek was in Columbia'
a few days last week on business.
V?*e understand that Dr J D
Whitehead is contemplating moving'
back here from Augusta in the very
;e home is jn
i-.e.hia, has determ^\d to come
to this town and establish j^^wspaper.
He reached this conclu ion
^turday after a thorough cancans
v.he situation extending over sev??a!
days. It i> given out that he
will return with his family in the
next four or five days and that his
presses, type and so on will be here
within a week or two. , Dr
Stokes is not without experience in
newspaper work and his son, who is
a reporter for The State, will assist
his father in the business they will
carry on here.
Mr Dorsev Reddick died at Mc"
Leod's Infirmary, Florence, the latter
part of last week. He came
here something over a year ago
with his brother and the two carried
on a retail grocery business under
the firm name of Reddick &
Reddick. The body of the deceasi
i i .kt: :n~
en was nuriea nt iniimuusvuit-, mc
family home.
The workmen on the hotel Mr
Sauls ds building struck for higher
wages Saturday, but they failed t?1
get their demands and most of them
were back Monday.
Miss Ellie Burroughs of Conway
is visiting her cousin, Mrs Loula
Staivey.
Mrs J M Truluck tendered a reception
to a company of young men
and young ladies at her home on
Acline avenue last Friday evening.
The affair was a jnost enjoyable oc- i
casien to ail who attended.
Dorothy, the daughter of Mr and J
Mrs W E Severance, died last Mon-!
day night, after an illness of a com-!
plication of throat, lung and lieart;
affections. Little Dorothy was the
pet of the family and her going
away wring^ the heart strings, of
those to whom ~ne was so dear.
She was a lovable child and drew
to her ail whom she met.. May the
Great Comforter sooth the bleeding
hearts of father and mother.
Of all the sorry shows that have
ever failed to show anything: worth
while at all, the affair that was pulled
off here Saturday night was the
very poorest.' Those who attended
felt like crawling off into a hole and
pulling the hole in after them. If
there had been a good kicking machine
in town, it would have been
worked overtime, for every fellow
who was out a quarter felt like a
good kicking would help his feelings.

A Xfght Alarm.
Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the metallic cough of croup
bringing- dread to the household.
Careful mothers keep Foley's Honey
and Tar in the house and give it at
the first sign of danger. Foley's
Honey and Tar lias saved many
little lives and is the1 only safe preparation
for children, as it contains
no opiates. I> 0 Scott.
