It is under- * stood that the amount of current de- ( veloped here at present surpasses the 1 demands of this place, and it is ex- ' pected that with the improvements 'c being made and contemplated in the plant's equipment that additional cur- 1 rent will be available. ^ Service lencierea Dy me iuiigsn? Electric Light and Ice Co., since its ( reorganization some time ago, is a ( vast improvement over what it was 1 during the period of high cost of ^ supplies and labor and, notwithstand- ( ing the fact that this organization * has been put to considerable expense 1 in bringing its plant up to a higher ( standard of efficiency, it has reduced 1 all of its rates and at present has a power rate consistent with that of j the larger concerns serving a much greater patronage. J The matter of extending electric sendee to the nearby towns is one that should be lent every encouragement and it is probable that such a ] move would prove an economical ven- ] ture on the part of the citizens of j fViAoa +nu-nc ac wall as ussiirinir them i of much better service than it will ? be posible for them to secure through j the installation of small local plants. , o_ I Fights Weevil Successfully. t . A stalk of cotton grown by Mr. ] G. M. Beasley at Gourdin and taken \ from a field estimated to produce at t the rate of 35 bales to 40 acres, is t now on display at the Tobacco As- i sociation's Nelson Warehouse. This > stalk of cotton, grown under the ex-;! isting boil weevil conditions, bears j 67 bolls, all well matured and even- j ly distributed from bottom to top. j The method of poisoning used by Mr. j Beasley was a mixture of molasses { and calcium arsenate immediately j after chopping the cotton, thus rid- ? ding the field of the adult weevils t early in the spring, followed by an j application or dry calcium arsenate < at a later date with a one-horse machine. The cost of thus poisoning s cotton has been estimated at about i $7.50 per acre. This stalk of f and information concerning < tivation and productivity otJtcr.

JOME DEMONSTRATION AGENTS \ssembled at Rock Hill for Five Day Special Meet. Rock Hill, Sept. 14.?The Home Demonstration Agents of South Caroina are assembled at Winthrop Colege, Rock Hill, for a special meeting. 1 For five days they are having inten i\ e tiaining in food preparation for j narket and studying a system of naking a greater profit in poultry. The call to help the Farm Woman narket her produce is sounding loud;r in the ears of the home demonstra;ion department than any other probem. Every effort is being made to ;rain the home demonstration agent ;hat she may be of greatest value to ;he women in the county where she s located. She is helping the farm vomen pass through this present val 1. ' ev and approacn me upiunun <>i w<& i j "uture by making money from the 1 _ w?le of food products. Special emfiiasis is being given to canning the jroducts of the Home Producers' as- ' ;ociation. The pine-bark fish stew, jj is made by the coast counties of our ? state, is being used by this associa- I ;ion. This recipe was recently com- | )leted by the state conservation spe- [ ualist | the #ib markets that are being | o suc?ssfully operated by the farm | vornof of our state. are still prosperous in 18 counties. This is splenlid that so many survived the long iry summer season. New inspiration was given the agents by the exjellent address given sa "Woman's part in our future Agricultural Program," by assistant director, D. W. Watkins. Many counties whish are enable to lave a club market are shipping pro-' luce to Charleston which is sold there sy Miss Carolina Alston, the county lome demonstration agent of Charles-: :on county. This is particularly true jf poultry products. This necessitated giving to the agents special Wuik j in packing and shipping of poultry',! :aponizing, killing poultry for market, housing and feeding of poultry, md grading of eggs. This instruction was given by poultry specialists, Miss Juanita Neely, Mr. N. R. Mehr- i lof, and Miss Gladys Tappan. Cutting and curing meat was a. practical and opportune lesson given :he agents by Mr. D. T. Herrman of 31emson College. After this beneficial training, the igenls will return to their counties j ivith a much greater degree of effici- ! (icy for meeting the problems in each > :ounty. o THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK When Ford Closes Shops?Allied Concerns Close Also. Detroit, Sept. 16.?Henry Ford's industrial strike against what he Aarges are excessive coal prices was in full swing tonight and approximately 73,000 of his workmen in the Detroit district were out of jobs for in indefinite period. Thousands of others in assembling plants throughout the country also "were ordered to lay down their tobls. In addition, a score or more of small industrial concerns here dependent upon the Ford Motor Company for orders were preparing to close. These employ upwards of 30,000 men. The Highland Park and River Rouge plants of the Ford Motor Company, ?m ploying about 60,000 men were deserted tonight save for a compar_tivey small force that will be retained .0 keep cok ovens warm. Although many of them were smiling, the majority of the Ford workers who passed through the gates of :he Highland Park plant after tuning in their tools today, expressed :oncern over the shutdown. Their 'oreman had handed down to them idvice from Mr. Ford to buy as lit;le coal as possible and cut their iving expenses to a minimum. Many >f the workers were met by wives md children, eager to learn how long ;he heads of families would be unemployed. :lassified advertisements -'OR SALE?10 shares of the capital stock of The Bank of Kingstree.
