CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES
At Cedar Swamp?A Joyous Occasion
Throughout.
Benson, June 8:?Last Saturday
dawned bright and beautiful. In
the early forenoon quite a crowd
gathered at Cedar Swamp Methodist
church to celebrate Children's day,
an event that is looked forward to
as a guarantee of an all-round good
time.
The happy and congenial crowd,
apparently oblivious of their business
cares and domestic duties,
strolled leisurely around in the shade
of the lofty pines and stately oaks
that have stood as ornaments to a
neat little church since ante bellum
days. The children were placed in line
outside of the church and marched up
the aisle to the rhythmic sounds of
soft music and took their places in
the chancel, beginning the exercises
with a welcome song. They were
trained by Mesdames G Ollie Epps,
John Cunningham and Miss Sadie
Snowden, all of whom possess rare
and enviable tact and ability for
training and directing affairs of this
nature to a successful culmination.
The children who took part in the
exercises were: Geneva, Hardie,
Laurie and Dan Brown, Salters, Dosia,Francis
and Aadie Burrows, Bertha
Cunningham, Hazel and Henry
Epps, Bert Felton, Julia Marion and
Emory McGill, Ora, Ossie, Alberta
and Tommie McCrea, Eulah, Everette,
Edith and Winnie Lee McCullough.
Fowler, Eulah, Blanche and
Dave McCutcheri, Maybell and Sadie
Tyler, Ina and Ernest Brown.
Revs L E Peeler and E K Epps
made short addresses to the assem
bly. A few selected and appropriate
songs were rendered by a chorus
composed of Misses Alma Duke, Muriel
Chandler, Nita Epps, Mrs Nita
Cunningham and Messrs J Graham
MrCullough.Felder and Scott McGill
. * and Wattie Snowden; Miss Sadie
Snowden, organist.
After the benediction the crowd
assembled around a specially arranged
table,a low side for the little
tots and the opposite side to suit the
, ' heights of the grown folk. This arrangement
was made through the
kindness of our committee,composed
of Messrs Thomas Chandler, Sammie
Duke and Scott McGill. The sump
tuous dinner was served by a few
married ladies, assisted by a half
dozen or more of our charming
young girls, who know how to serve
in a most pleasing manner.
After dinner the majority of the
crowd wended its way to the baseball
ground to witness a game between
the boys of "hustling Hemingway"
and the local team. In the
first two innings neither side scored
and apparently an exciting time was
- .1 <?* ??
in store tor tne entnusiasuc ians .
Will McCullough pitched for the,,
Benson team and Roy Lambert for
the visitors, whose heavy hitting and
good infield work defeated the locals.
The home team hit as often as the
"hustlers from Hemingway" and
there was plenty of speed as the
batsmen dashed to first, but the unfortunate
fly would sail high and
then descend so gracefully into the
"hustlers' " clutches. The visitors
began to make scores in the third
inning and it appeared that the home
boosters would have the distinction
of a big 0 to their credit on the
score card, but pitcher McCullough
scored in the seventh inning. A
Howard to the bat concluded McCullough's
one score would have a
lonesome time, so he made a desperate
hit and a home run, giving Benson
2. For the visitors Roy Lambert,
Clarence Davis, William Chandler
and Eugene Huggins made one
each, Ebbie Cribb two and Arthur
Altman three; total, 9. In the absence
of one of the local team;who
is supposed to be playing a different
game where Cupid umpires, up the
country, Mr Mauldin Lesesne of
Kingstree played efficiently in his '
place. ;
Thus ended a day at Benson that <
Will iong linger in our memories,
and the like occasion {Deo volcnte) '
may be repeated in 1916 and enjoy
ed by all who live to that day. ,

FARMERS SHOULD NOT
Neglect Young Pigs?Must Have
Clean Quarters and Good Food.
Clemson College, June 7:?At this
time of the year, when the farmer
has his crops to attend to, it is easy
to fall into the mistake of letting the
young pigs on the farm go without
proper attention. Pigs that are not
cared for will not produce profits.
The farmer should therefore allow
nothing to make him neglect his
young swine if he hopes to make
anything out of them.
The pig should be provided for
even before its mother farrows, by
giving the sow clean quarters, which
will reduce the likelihood of vermin
' f Kn ninrc Tf
ttUU Uistrast: auavnai^ vuv.
this precaution was not taken, it is
quite likely, according to the extension
animal husbandmen of Clemson
College, that the pigs will become
infested with lice, which will
handicap the pigs and reduce their
vitality to such a point that they are
likely to become easy victims to diseases.
To control lice, use crude
petroleum, either as a dip or applied
to the animal by hand. It is good
both as a preventive and a remedy.
A good home-made remedy is an
emulsion of kerosene. Use about
one quart 6f kerosene to two gallons
of "soapy" water. By all means,
try to rid the pigs of lice as soon as
they appear.
Pigs should have the range of
forage crops and plenty of clean water
at all times to keep them in
thrifty growing condition. Patches
of peanuts,peas, soy beans, rape and
other grazing crops can be used at a
large profit by letting the pig har^
