CIRLS* CANNING CLUB EXHIBIT.
Splendid Display ol Tbeir Work
at Court House.
The exhibit by the tomato clubs
of Williamsburg county, held in the
court house here last Saturday, is
but a minor indication of what these
clubs can accomplish with a little
perseverance and ingenuity.
In the spring there were organized
and set to work by Miss Amanda
Edwards, county agent, among the
girls of the county eight canning
or tomato clubs, composed of some
10 or 50 young ladies. Their work
?4^a fAmofn roiainty

and canning.but they were to can or
preserve, in addition to tomatoes,
anything they could produce. Their
ifforts have been successful aifti
should be highly gratifying to the
parents and everyone interested in
;his line of work, which not only
levelops these young ladies into
aseful citizens but puts them upon a
nore independent plane by enabling
diem to help themselves.
This fall these young ladies, members
of the various canning clubs,
?ot together a collection of their
products, which was put on exhibi;ion
at the recent State Fair at Co
umbia, where they made a most
:reditable showing for themselves,
"or their organizer and for their
:ounty, for there is no disputing the
"act that the Williamsburg booth at
:he Columbia Fair showed up as well
is that of any other county where
:onditions were equal.
This same exhibit was shown here
ast Saturday, with a few additional
articles from club members who did
aot contribute to the State exhibit,
DUt on account of the exceedinglybad
weather that prevailed all day,
there were only a few of the county
people present to vie .v the splendid
display. On that account the exhibit
tias been keDt intact and will again
:>e open to the public next Saturday,
at which time the names of the
prize winners will be announced.
The following young ladies are
;ontributors to the splendid stock
>n display and are therefore constants
for prizes:
Misses Maude Sexton, Ora Mckenzie,
Lula Sexton, Bessie Williamion,
Bertie Wilson, Lois Nesmit, Lizjie
McElveen, Eva Gamble, Ela Du3ose,
Walline Huggins, Anna Perry,
Sallie Haselden, Archie Smith. Edna
31ark, May Gowdy, Eleida Kennedy,
Sffie Stewart, Irene McKenzie, Etta
Stuckey, Agnes Fulton, Anna Fulton,
kVesta McElveen.
In addition to the girls' canning
dub exhibit, Mr T Olin Epps, who
las charge of the boys' corn clubs,
las an attractive disDlav of farm and
lousehold products on exhibition.
These consist of oats, hay, corn, pealuts,
pecans, sweet poptatoes and
/arious kinds of canned and preserv?d
articles. There is op exhibition
it this show one sweet potato which
s believed to be the largest raised
n the South this year. The tuber
s well and perfectly formed in the
shape of a large musk mellon and
weighs 19i pounds. It was raised
py Mr J W Ard, near Greelyville.
There are also several large yellow
pumpkins on exhibition taken
from one plant which produced 450
pounds of fruit. These are the products
of Mr R C McElveen, of the
Hebron section, who says that some
pf the plant's runners measured 50
feet in length.
It is hoped that a good representation
of Williamsburg citizens will
visit the exhibit here next Saturday.

under the management of Mr S A
Nettles for the past three years,will
be relinquished by him Saturday,

The State to Borrow $150,000.
Columbia, November 18: ? The
Governor today refused to attend a
meeting of the State's financial
board, when the question of borrowing
$150,000 for the current expenses
of the State Government
was considered.
"Therefore you need not count
upon me at your meeting, nor will I
sign any paper unless you can borrow
the money at least at as low a
rate of interest as 3 per cent," said
the Governor, which he sent to the
board. S T Carter, State Treasurer,
and A W Jones, Comptroller General,
attended the meeting.
The board decided to ask the
banks of the State for bids on the
loan. The bids will be opened at a
meeting of the board to be held
November 30.
Comptroller General Jones said
that he would hold up any warrants
that might be presented by the
ctfato Hpnnrtmpnt nf pHnpatinn until
the money was borrowed.
Mr F A Stall will open up a first
class general repair shop in the
Thomas building tomorrow morning,
where he will be prepared to do all
kinds of repairing, painting, upholstering
and scientific horse-shoeing.
It
To Our Subscribers.
The time has come when it is absolutely
necessary to call on our delinquent
subscribers to pay us what
they owe on subscription. We have
put off this disagreeable matter as
long as possible, but with the heavy
obligations facing us, it is imperative
that those who take the paper
come to our aid.We realize that conditions
are such that money is
scarce, but we have put the price of
the paper down as low as possible,
I even if we collect from every sub
scriber in arrears. Ana, nonesuy,
we believe that nine-tenths of our
subscribers are able to pay the small
amount they owe us, but it is really
so small that some seem to think
that we don't need it. Remember,
friends, that while it means a few
cents to you. in the aggregate it
means over a thousand dollars to us,
and unless we can collect these
; small amounts from all of our
subscribers, our entire year's work
goes for nothing.
We keenly" appreciate the hard
times prevailing, as they hit us as
I hard as any other class,and perhaps
a little bit harder than some, for
1 we have to buy every mouthful we
| eat (except the gifts of our generous
friends once in a while) and
every stick of wood we burn, besides
! other necessaries. Provisions are
! going up and everything in the way
; of printing material is soaring along
i with them. Unly the price or tne
paper remains the same, and we
are entitled to that?don't you
think so?
Don't wait on the other fellow,
now, but look at the label on your
paper and if you are behind please
let us hear from you.
Every month prices on paper and
job stock are advancing. We have
te meet these bills on 30 days' time
and at the low price we charge for job
printing we cannot afford to carry
such items on our books, or our
capital would soon be all tied up in
book accounts. Therefore, we hereby
give notice that (til Job Work is
expected to be paid for, cash on
i delivery. This applies to every one.

white boy about 15 or 16
: years old to help in general repair shop.

I ANYTHING TO PLEASE A LADY1
Manifold Troubles of a Militia Colonel
Who Aimed to Please All
He Knew.
Lady Heater Lucy Stanhope,
when staying at Walmer castle in
1804, quite unwittingly accomplished
the feat of changing the uniform
of a regiment of the county
militia. The anecdote, which illustrates
a curious streak of vanity in
old-time army officers, appears in an
account of Lady Stanhope's life by
Mr. Prank Hamel.
"Somebody asked me before a great
many officers what I thought of
them," said Lady Stanhope, "and I
said that they looked like so many
tinned harlequins. One day, soon
after, I was riding through Walmer
villaee. when who should dod out
o ' A A
upon me but the colonel, dressed in
entirely new regimentals, with different
facings, more like thoee of a
regiment of the line.
"'Pray pardon me, Lady Hester,'
he began. So I stopped, and he
addressed me. Tray pardon me,'
said the colonel, *but?I wish to know
if you approve of our new uniform.'
Of course I made him turn about
and I inspected him round and
round?pointed with my whip as I
sat on horseback, first here and there
?told him the waist was tqp short
and wanted half a button more?the
collar was too high, and so on. And
in a short time the whole regiment
turned out with new clothes."?
