SALTERS SKETCHES.
I
Items oi Interest, Local and Personal,
Briefly Paragraphed.
Salters Depot, October 5:?Everyone
seems blue over the cotton outlook;
picking is progressing rapidly
and the ginneries have about all
they can do. Not a bale has been
sold here yet. Considerable corn is
being harvested and is making a
good crop. The hay crop is fine
an(f is being cut whenever the
weather permits.
Work on .Mrs W S Cooper's residence
is being pushed rapidly and
when completed this dwelling will
be quite an addition to our town.
Thp eountv chaincransr is doing
some much-needed work on the
roads around here now, opening
them out and scraping them up
with the plow. This, with the addition
of clay on the worst sand
places, will give us good roads. Clay
can be easily had and we sincerely
hope that, this work will be thoroughly
done while the chaingang is here.
Salters High and Graded school
opened September 28, with bright
prospects for a successful year. The
Rural School Improvement association
met and organized Friday for
work during the present session.
Miss Leila B Ferguson, the efficent
principal here, has returned to her
rwvst nf dutv. much to the gratifica
^ ?tion
of both patrons and pupils. She
has an able assistant in Miss Mary B
Heyward, both of whom are busy
getting their pupils in line. We are
glad to welcome these young ladies
back with us again.
Mr Jno T Bryan is still sick; we
hope to see him again soon.
Rev W I Sinnott filled his appointment
at Lake City Sunday.
Rev W T Bedenbaugh is conducting
a protracted meeting here this
week.
MrsRMoseley is visiting relatives
in Charleston.
Miss Madge Cooper has gone to
Charleston to attend school.
Mrs W H Stubbs of Bennettsville
is visiting her sister, Mrs Jas A Fer*a1I
ft4-Vkic nlo/vn

Mr Frank Stubbs af Branchville
spent a short while Sunday with
relatives here.
Hon J C Lanham of Summerton
was noted here Monday,looking after
his trade. Look Out.
Helnemann Happenings.
Heinemann, October5:?The
weather is dark and dreary and the
poor farmers are hauling- their cotton
and having it ginned?those who
have any picked out?and are waiting
for the price to go up, but I tell
you the outlook is very gloomy.
They are all very anxious to see the
News and Courier every day, but
whpn thev read it thev don't find
any relief therefrom. All that they
can get is "resolutions."
Oh,bj the way.where is "Cotton"
Smith? Now is the time that the
farmers are needing him, for you
know the old saying is, "A friend in
need is a friend indeed." Riding on ]
a bale of cotton drawn bv four gray
mules is an easy thing to do, but |
-when the price goes down is the
time to ride on the cotton and keep ,
it up. (
School teachers are arriving at |
Heinemann; two came in Saturday, ,
Miss M Daggett of Georgetown,who
is the teacher at the Heinemann
school, and Miss Minnie McFaddin,
of Clarendon county,who has charge i
of the Boyd school. 1
When this cruel war is over we
look for better times and higher
prices for cotton. (
I note that there are thirty-seven i
lawyers elected to the General Assembly
and about three farmers. '
Uncle Nat. !
(Anyway,"Uncle Nat," the farm- ,
ers are to be congratulated on hav- (
ing re-elected one of their number 1
to the United States Senate instead ;
of a corporation lawyer?Editor The '

It's the man who really counts in f
farming. Fertile land is necessary, (
but a master mind must solve the *
problem of production and market- :

Falling from Flat Car.
Andrews, October 1:?Last Tues-;
day,September 29, 1914, while going:
to his dinner, in company with sev- I
eral other employees of the ACL
corporation, Mr Manning Har-;
relson was sitting on a flat-car when ;
one of the trucks struck a piece of

before his death. He was mild and
gentle in his manners, yet possessed

9tand for his convictions of right as
he saw it.
He leaves a father, two brothers
and two sisters to mourn his loss.

Ownership Williamsburg Homes
The United States census department
has just issued a bulletin dealing
with the ownership of Williamsburg
county homes. The important
facts contained in the bulletin relating
to this county are as follows:
There are 7,222 homes in Williamsburg
county.
FAKM MUMfcft.
Of this number 5,370 are farm
homes; 1,995 of the farm homes are
owned by their occupants and are
free of mortgaged incumbrance.
The mortgaged farm homes number
461.
Renters occupy 2,898 farm homes
in this county.
URBAN HOMES.
Out of a total of 7,222 homes in
the county 1,852 are urban homes.
There are 330 urban home owners
in the county.
Of this number 43 are mortgaged.
Two hundred and sixty-eight of
the urban homes are free of incumbrance.
There are 1,411 rented urban
homes in the county.
The census enumerators were unable
to secure data pertaining to the
ownership of a small percentage of
both the rural and urban homes in
this county.
Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough
medicines that contain codine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives
? I 1_ ? 1 J A -
wnen you nave a tougn or vuiu. r\u
expectorant like Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is used. It has a
tvorld-wide reputation for its cures,
[t contains no morphine or other
sedative. For sale by all dealers.

"BUY-A-BALE** MOVEMENT.
View of Standard Sonthern
Farm Paper on Subfect.
The movement for individuals to
"buy a bale of cotton" has spread
all over the country and has aroused
general interest. It has done something,
even now, to check the
machinations of the bears who
hoped to get cotton down to 6 cents.
As soon as it is manifest that the
bear campaign against cotton has
] 1 1 e ?:ii
j iaucu, cue uaxma ui uic ouutii w n
i avail themselves of the opportunities
offered by the use of the emergency
currency based on cotton warehouse
receipts to get money to relieve the
cotton planters, who are now cotton
pickers, in harvesting this great
crop and in holding enough cotton
to prevent a panic in the market.
< It is manifest that the cotton acreage
for next year will be greatly reduced.
The farmers ought at once
to begin making calculations upon
this basis. They ought to do everything
in their power to diversify
their crops next year and to bring
the cotton acreage under corn or
grass or cowpeas. They ought to
raise more hogs, more cattle. They
ought to do something more for the
dairy. They ought to get what they
can from early vegetables aDd early
fruit. v
We know that some of these
changes are possible everywhere,
but all of them are possible somewhere.
The real cotton problem
can be solved only by the cotton
planter himself.
For,even though the war cease, it
will be some years before the world
is ready to absorb an American crop
of 15 million bales at profitable
prices to the planter.?Home and
Farm.

the books will be closed and executions

Those who desire to pay their taxes
through the mail may expedite matters
by dropping the Treasurer a card asking
for the amount of their taxes, so as
to avoid sending the wrong amount, also
stating the township or townships (if
property is owned in more than one)
and if possible give school district where
property is located. After paying taxes
examine your receipts and see if all
your property is covered; if not, see
about it at once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided. J Wesley Cook,
