Mr D F Baxley of Vox, who chieved the remarkable feat of roducing more than 1,000 bushels f corn on ten acres, called to see us ne day last week. Mr and Mrs Ralph Waldo Cros*nd returned Friday from their ridal trio and are at home to their riends at the residence of Mr J N lammet, where for the present hey are boarding. Special attention is called to"CookigDemonstration"by Majestic range xpert as explained in big ad on ront page. The "Majestic" is the ange.par excellence, for handsome ppearance and utility. Col J G Slaughter, who with his amily has been staying at Mullins ince the tobacco season closed, was i town several days this week. By he way. Col Slaughter is the proud arent of a bouncing boy who tipped he scale at 10* pounds. Mr Plowden Davis of Mullins has ccepted a position with the King6ree Dry Goods Co as salesman. Mr V D McClam has returned to Flornce and is now with the Fleishlan Co, who bought out E F Dougis. Mr McClam's former employer. Col Slaughter asks us to urge the armers of this countv to plant toacco this year. Last year's short rop has created an active demand or the class of tobacco grown in this ?ction and he confidently expects rices to go higher than for several ears past. County Supt of Education McCul>ugh informs us that two of Wilamsburg's rural schools were warded prizes of $50 each by the lural School Improvement associaon. These were Johnsonville nd Union High schools, both of rhich, we believe, won prizes last ear. "Judge" S GfMcDonald of Lane anded us a lemon yesterday, not of le kind within the meaning of the ang expression, but a healthy, normal specimn of the Citrus limonum( lpposed to be peculiar to the trops.

W F Clayton, Esq, of the Florence it. visited our office pleasantly | hursday of last week while inj iwn. Mr Clayton is a literateur of cognized merit, his most notable ork being a recently published his?rv of the Confederate navy. The riter acquired much of his data by M-sonal experience, having served trough the war in the Confederate ivy.

Two long haired, bewhiskered srsonages stopped over here r naay ad held forth for a while on the ;reets. They claim to be disciples t a new creed, "Israelites of the [ouse of David," one of the numerals religious cults that have sprung p among people dissatisfied with le "old time religion."

A Serious Complaint and One Difficult to Overcome. Scours or calf cholera is a serious complaint and very difficult to overcome. writes II. (i. Van Pelt iu the Parm and Fireside. It is an infection caused by one of two or three different specific germs which gain access to the blood of the calves through some wound or broken I skin surface. The germ is present some place in the barns or lots. First thoroughly clean and disinfect all calf 1 pens, barns and sheds inhabited by the calves. Keep the calves out of mud or wet stalls. These considerations are incidental to the main preventions, but must be given very careful attention. It -?*11 be found a hard tight, and every j pr antion must be taken in a thorough [ m. nner. 1 'e main operation iu preventing the i Hi?u 'u iu tn I'lnuolv fur thp ! birth o* all calves. Have a strung j string soaked in a solution of creoliD or lysol. and just as soon as a youugster is born thoroughly bathe and disinfect the umbilical cord and tie the string tightly arouud the cord close tc the body. This is the usual source of j infection. Without these precautions the disease will probably never be eliminated. | but where all of them are carefully ole served, and especially the latter, the , trouble will soon die out. The lufec, tion is not caused by the feed. The j writer has always found that to prej vent scours in young calves an excellent plan is to feed a ten spoon ftt I of * blood flour, which can be purchased di' reel from the packers, in each feed of milk givt n to each calf. FATTENING STEERS. Interesting Experiment at the Colorado Station. ; Thirty head of steers from the exj peri mental teed yards of the Colorado | Agricultural college recently set a new ! high mark for commercial steers sold I upon the Itenver market. The sieers ! were fed and sold in three lots with ten head in each lot. All lots were ; fed alfalfa hay. Lot 2 received CallI fornia feed barley, gaining 4.010 pounds j in six months' feed and selling for | $7.00 per KH) jMjunds.

They snouia be ready for fattening when the new grass comes. continued and corn and molasses added to rlie ration. This lot sained 4.4do pounds and sold for $8 per 100 pounds. The lot on California feed barley held Its own with the others during the first half of the feeding period, but then | fell behind, 'i he combination fed cattle kept the lead for a long time, but finally fell a lic!tt behind, .lust two weeks before the 'lose of the experiment these cattle weighed eighty-five pounds more than lhe corn lot. Evident y warm weather spoiled their appetite for molasses, so that at the close they were behind the corn lot in total ! gain. Figuring hay at per ton. eora j chop and barley chop at $l.2b per WO pounds, cottonseed t ake at %'.Y2 per ton and beet sugar tuolasses at per ton. the profit over feed for the barley lot was altout $1 per head, the corn lot $7..">0 per bead and the combinatioa lot $0 per head. Colts Nsed Exorcist. Growing colts should always have a smooth, roomy lot In which to exercise and should be given the run of this inclosure summer and winter. Plenty of exercise and fresh air and sunshine are essential to the best development of nuy animal. This does ?? ?? tint tliat* ahnilld he Ipft un nui iucau m?n j protected during the cold winter nights.

Mr R G McCutchen of Archer, Nebraska, called to see up Monday on his way home after revisiting the scenes of his boyhood at old Indiantown aad spending a fortnight "reminiscing" with his old friends and kinsfolk or their descendant?. Mr MdCutchen left Williamsburg for the West at the close of the Civil war, when the whole country seemed to be gone to the "demnition bowwow*." and returned after an absence ( f b rty-three years. Talk aboul Kin ' an Winkle and Sleepy Hollow! Compared with the returned wanderer old Rip was a cheap imitat^-n. Next time Mr McCutchen retnr ns! e says it will be via aero| plane. I i KINGSTREE GRADED AND t II HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. 4 t School opened Thursday, January 5,1911.after having been closed two j weeks for the Christmas holidays, Several new pupiis have been enrolled since the spring term began. Heretofore the pupils have had to pay one dollar as an incidental fee, but the trustees have found it nec. essary to require another dollar to be paid at the beginning of this term, and we hope that the parents will see that it is promptly paid. Miss Sue St oil, one of the popular teachers in the high school, has re turned, after spending the Christmas vacation in Florida. The Wee Nee Literary society held its regular meeting Friday, January 13. The query for debate was: "Resolved, That America abounds in more natural curiosities than any of the other countries." The decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative. Since the society has become a part of the school work, the time of meeting has been changed from 3:30 p. m., to 12:30 p.m., and.all of the pupils of the high school and those in the seventh grade over fifteen years of age become members. Henceforth we will have the teachers of the high school present at our meetings. We feel sure that this will will be exceedingly beneficial to each member. At the last writing we omitted the fact that Mr Tommie | Harper was elected second censor. ' Honor Roll. Grade I.

This little book is baring the largest circulation of any of its kind and Is conceded by Christians everywhere to be the most helpful. I If Christians allow the rush and crush of selfish ambition to deprive e them of their daily portion of heavenly food, they must not be surprised If C they grow spiritually leaner day by 1 day. and If the peace of God gives J' place in their hearts to the discontent which is growing in the world, not- 0 withstanding the multiplication of oar comforts and privileges. o Daily Hearcnly Manna contains a col C lection of Scripture texts with appro- ^ prlate quotations for every day In the ? year. Surely the little tithe of time ? daily spent in partaking of its morsels ? of heavenly counsel cannot fail to t profit all who partake. It is published t to do good?not for profit. p Your Friends' Birth Dates. An autograph and birthday record ^ feature in this book is a great convenience. Opposite each day of the year g are blank Hues upon which you can secure the autographs of your friends p and be reminded of their birthdays as a they occur. This makes the book more F valuable yearly. In ten years you would not sell It for ten dollars. Besides It has a place for Birth Records, Marriage Records and Death Roc ords. Also It has a table showing the day of the week of any date for one ^ hundred and fifty years. <! Printed on bond writing paper, blue \ doth, handsome. Price.

We are mailing out statements to all our subscribers who are from three months to more than a year in arrears. We hope no one will be of fended at receiving this reminder, and still more we hope no one will get too mad to pay the amount he or she owes. If we send you a statement when you owe us nothing don't "fly off the handle" and "cuss us out" but point out the error and we will cheerfully make the correction. It's a vast deal of work and considerable expense to make out and mail one thousand of these accounts. Think of it! The postage alone amounts to $20. All because our friends, many of them, thought the little amount one man owed didn't matter. But it does matter to us. more than $1,000. All the fruits of our labor for the past year are in your hands?are t/ou eoimr to see us lose your part? It's like lending out 1,000 bushels of wheat and getting it back one bushel at a time.
