SAVE YOUR HOGS.
H. B. Hood, a well-known State vet- .
erinarian, who a few years ago, spent (
some time in this county in tick eradication
work under Dr. Lewis, has
again been assigned to this county.
Dr. Hood is here now to look after the
hog cholera situation, and all other
contagious diseases among live stock.
His headquarters will be in Kingstree.
and he is anxious to have all epidemics
of cholera, cases of tuberculosis,
foot and mouth diseases, reported to
him promptly.
In this connection, The County Rec- '
ord would suggest that, in view of the
serious losses to fanners from chol- j
era epidemics, its farmer readers take
advantage of the services offered by '
Dr. Hood. Hog cholera can and may ]
be entirely exterminated, but success ;
in the matter rests largely with those '
who have hogs. Don't wait until this
fatal disease breaks into your herd, '
but have your hogs inocculated while .
they are healthy and free of the dis- J
ease.
We don't wait till smallpox gets
into our homes to have our children
vaccinated. Neither should a good '
farmer wait until cholera gets into '
his hog pen before he inocculates his '
swine.
Heretofore this work has been in '
charge of the county agent, and so '
prevalent it has been that in recent
years, our county agent had little time ^
for anythinge else. He is now relieved
of this work by Dr. Hood, and our (
new county agent, Mr. Madison, will
devote his time to agricultural mat- |
tovs?V<plnintr n> to make lareer and I'

Charles Hilliard, author and produc- 1
er of "Cousin Isabelle" and "The *
Flower Shop" is back in Kingstree?
this time to present "Mrs. Temple's
Telegram"?the work of another 1
writer. With long runs on Broadway 1
and in London to its credit, it is need
less to say that acting of a high order 1
is essential to the success of this
brilliant farce. The Parent-Teachers' }
Association is sponsoring the attrac- 1
tion and a cast, composed of Kings- (
tree's best talent, is rehearsing faith- s
fully, day and night. Mr. Hilliard, ?
who needs no introduction, is playing '
the role of Jack Temple, while Miss
Ruby Thorne, as Mrs. Temple, will of- (

:l JEFFERSON DAVIS |j
!PRIZE ESSAY BY <I
MISS DOLLY McFADDEN "
Ht W WWWHHHWH4
On the 3rd day of June 1808, an
important event in the destiny of our
gi-eat Southland took place, for it was
on this day, in Fairfield Kentucky,
that Jefferson Davis, cue of the greatest
American patriots, was bora. This
illustrious Southerner, whose life and
character, was misrepresented to the
world, at one time, by malicious hate
and envy now illumes true history
with glory and honror, because it is
"sustained by justice and supported
by the staff of truth". He possesed
a wonderful and powerful manhood,
that never forgot its-duty to God and
man. His pure heart was so filled
with the love of the Master that it is
natural to believe that he Surrendered
a pure, unspotted soul to his creator.
This great statesman though cruelly
treated and fearfully persecuted,
bore his tials with that faith and trust
which strenghtened instead of weak

was never known to turn from "liberty's
Call", but fame and eminence
of position, can never escape the misrepresentation
and slander of the envious,
and Jefferson Davis was no exception.
because he was human.
In viewing Mr. Davis carerr, during
the Confederacy, it is interesting to |
carry the memory back, and note the
very first military duty assigned to
liim; after graduation from West
Point, his first duty was at Fort Craw
ford, Wisconsin, m xne capacity ox
second liuetenant of Infantry in the
regular army. When the dark, heavy
cloud and gloom of war, became evident
in the South, the "Montgomery
Convention" assembled for the purpose
of organizing the Confederate
Government, elect officers' and arrange
everything which would be necessary
for a new government. The South
found herself confronted by a grave
and serious problem; to find an individual,
strong enough, to guide, (with
and through the help of the 'Almighty
Father), this great "ship of stave".
It required not only the military genious
of a trained soldier; but also a
statesman of valor, strong will and intellect
and a soul which had the courage
to dare, in the face of the'coming
conflict. At this juncture of deliberation,
a bright beam of hope and
faith, suddenly illuminated the South
as they realized that such a man was
available for such possibilities were
found in Jefferson Davis. During the
\ssembly at Montgomery, Alabama,
le was unanimously chosen president
>f the Confederacy.
In 1862 he was declared Constitu- i
:ional president of the Confederate
states of America; the votes being
ast by all the people of the seceedng
states. He was never known to
;eek an office and this flattering and: I
listinguished office rather sought him.!
Aftov "YTississitmi had seceded from j
;he Union, Mr. Davis was appointed}
^ommander-in Chief of the state J(
'orces by the governor. ;<
It has been said that he was aston-'
shed beyond measure, when he found ;
hat at the Convention he had receiv-'
:d the grave and important honor of |
iresident. ,
Many of our Southern students have 3
>een misguided by false historians., ,
n this assertion; that he was elected
>nly by the choice of policians; this '
tatement is untrue; he was the de^
:ided choice of the entire South who
ealized his great soul and intellect.:
Their judgment proved good, for the
listinguished leader exercised wonder:ul
executive ability, in discharging
:he duties of this faithful and complicated
trust.
At this period of the South found
lerself surrounded by danger and peril;
it was necessary for quick but
:areful and deliberate action to be
taken, in order to retain their peace
md pride of liberty which had obtained
control of the government power;
separation from the Union must be
the solution of the problem.
After his inauguration as president
pf the Confederacy, he displayed great j
devotion for the Union and its upkeep,
by calling into effect, the peace commissioa.
At tihs commission, he did
not allow the political views of his
delegates, to have any weight in the
matter of his choice?one being aj
Whig, one a Democrat and one a fol-1
lower of Douglas.. He gave them no'
private instruction, but left patriot-'
ism and hone-t conclusions to serve;
as their guide.
Notwithstanding our great statesman's
strenuous att nipt to avert war.
bloodshed and sorrow seemed to be j
inevitable and when these representatives
reached Washington, their
hopes of peace fled, for war was upon
us already. An effort was now on
foot to crush our Confederacy; the
North and South were r.o longer bound
together by the Union.
An eminent writer declares that
"No man, (unless it was Washington),
was ever placed in a position so
fraught with danger, so tyurdened with j
cares and responsibilities, as was Jefferson
Davis, when he became presi- \
dent of the Confederacy". This bril-1
liant achievement in guiding the
workings of the Confederacy, ha* ?
caused his name to be recorded in his- [
tory as one of the greatest Americans. I
It would have been impossible for i
any man, who occupied the chair of |
Confederate President, to have done f
more than he did to avoid conflict. Xo j |
power on earth could have saved the g
Confederacy from collapse. If it had I
not been for the wonderful guiduance |
of Davis, the fall would have come |
sooner and worse than it did. if
When all was finished, our noble; g
hero was forced into the humiliation j g
of amest and imprisonment at Fort-J
ress Monroe, where he received in- |
human treatment.
May the Confederate soldier never i
forgetthe sacrifice made by the im-1
mortal soul, Jefferson Davis. It is the
;
privilege and bounding duty of ail;
true Southern people, to instill upon
the present generation the valued
memories of the past and were the
labors of the great Davis, whose guid- J
ance of the Confederacy was mmmh |
out and noble to the highest degree.
May those men "who wore the;
gray" hold this character up, to the j
youth of today, as a model of Christian
manhood, noble patriotism and
intellectual power.

Bull Associations Promote Interest.
An example of how bull associa- i
tions, organized through the help of
the United States Department ot Agriculture.
act as a wedge to stimulate
dairy interest and promote better
methods in a community is illustrated
by the work which has been done in ;
Spartanburg county. Five years ago j
little dairying was done in this county,
according to dairymen of the department,
but now the industry is
making rapid progress and up-to-date
methods are being practiced largely
as a result of the organization of a
bull association.
The interest in dairying dates from
the beginning of the pure-bred bull
movement in the vicinity of Campobello
in 1916. At that time a breeder,
in the hope of starting an interest in
* ' A-? ? ?
better stocK ana creating a UClilOliu | |
for his animals, presented a pure-bred
bull to the community. Little interest
was taken, and the gift was accepted
with reluctance. The community was
made up of small farms and there
were few cows.
Following this a dairymen's picnic
and exhibition of live stock was held,
and as a result of extension work carried
on by the Dairy Division of the
department in cooperation with Clemson
Agricultural college more people
became interested and bought cows.
In 1917 a cooperative bull association
was organized, from which developed
a live-stock show, and the members
of the association developed a keen
interest in comparing the dairy animals
they raised.
Another show was held in 1920, at
winch prizes offered by merchants and
bankers consisting of cash, merchandise,
and savings accounts were
awarded. One of the features of the
show was a program of short talks
on local problems by the county
agent, leading farmers, and representatives
of the commercial club and the
State Jersey Breeders' Association. As
an indication of the interest that was
aroused those attending the show votod
unanimously to hold a community
fair next fall, to include not only
dairy stock but other agricultural
products.
