The Watchman end Southron Stow hss the combined circulation and taJueaee ef both of the old papers and Is manifestly the bet advertising saedinm In Sumter. Some weeks ago the announcement was made that a campaign for the establishment of a creamery in Sum? ter with cream routes SOYSTing this and adjoining counties would be started in a short time. What has happened to the plan? see Mr. Bryan's attitude In respect to Improving the army and navy to a^ tSSJtt of efficiency is similar to that of the man who is opposed to carrying a Colt's .44 but thinks It proper to keep s 32 in his pocket all the time. His antagonism to a serviceable military organisation is Inconsistent unless he Is In favor of the abolition of the navy and army. see The athletics scandal that has grown out of the controversy be? tween Davidson College and Clemson on one side and the University of South Carolina on the other relative to the eligibility of certain members of the Carolina football team is more serious than is apparent on the sur? face, since it involves a matter of principle. There seems to be no doubt of tho truthfulness of the charge that a number of football players were Imported from other Mates to play on the Carolina team, and that the facts as to their eligibil? ity under the rules were misrepre? sented. When it becomes necessary to Import players and to raise a large fund, by calllr | on the alumni for contributions. to support a college football team there Is something radl illy wrong with college athletics I hero should be not only tu Invest? ition buc ref? mi iti' B News und \ lew at of l'isgah. Plsgah, Nov. 9.?Oat planting has commenced, but neither wheat nor oats will be as largely planted us last year. H will take four cents cotton to get a big crop of cereals planted. As soon as Germany whips out that crowd around her we w I sc. a b. tier state of affairs. It Is tue only laud upon this terrestlal ball today that contains no dlro poverty, sordid bawdy houses, alms hous? s. and pot? ters fields. Has a lino system of edu? cation and industry and I hope will win her fight. The elections show which way the German-American peo? ple will vote. England is no friend to this country and you have only got to go back to events preceding tho war of 1*12 to provo It. The cotton crop in about all picked out, und light Is the word about It. Our people are no better off than last year financially, for tb y have a big debt to pay brought SYST, Winter gardens are scarce. Vt r\ few have good ones. Mrs. T. J.

Barton of Cl?ren? don 1 ounfy Said to Ho Highly Satis? factory. Tho time for killing hogl is rapidly approaching and many farmers who liavc raised hogs in tho past have had trouble In keeping their hams. The following method of curing hams is that used hy Mr. A. I. BaiTOn Of Man? ning. Clerk of Court of Clarendon County, who has had remarkable suc? cess In curing his hams which are I widely km wn for their delightful tlavor. Mr. Parron's recipe Is dif? ferent from others in that i\e advises a pinch of saltpetre next the bone and In that he advises that the ham he hung with the hock down, which, he says, prevents the juices from es? caping. His recipe is as follows: 1. Spread hams out on pine nee? dles?with a little salt over them, If weather be warm, leave a day until thoroughly cold. 2. Hub with salt thoroughly?Liv? erpool salt coarse. 3. Punch down beside bone and put a pinch of salt-petrc. 1. Pack down in salt with meat side up. 5. Leave in salt about four weeks. C. Wash off with tepid water and hang up to dry, hock down. 7. Leave several weeks for a good cold windy day, so that there will be no files. In case weather is warm smoke a little with hickory bark or dried hickory wood. A little will do fOOd, but would not smoke too much. Dip in boiling water for ahout one minute, lay out to dry. 8. Apply following mixture: jc borax, quart syrup, thicken to paste with black pepper. May sprinkle with a little red pepper. Hang with hock down. (?cttlng Ready for the Roll Weevil. Tho Aberdeen Angus bulls purch? ased by the City National Dank and the Sumter OU Mill for the encourage? ment of growing beef cattle in Sumter county, have arrived. The bull pur? chased by the Sumter Oil Mill will be kept at the oil mill and may be used by the farmers within reach for oaiy a nominal fee service. Just enough to pay for the leeding of the bull. The City National Dank hulls have been carried out in the countryi one up in the Stateburg section and tho other In Concord. At Present J. Prank Williams has one and R. D. Y;.. l..:? h:?s the other. A ?,-?.!> few "? I not moiw than seventy the conti will I he charged tos those bulls, it has >>? m j decided to have two or three stations lor each ~uli. .lUc one lio?s iocuteU St Stateburg, will bo alternated between this section, and the Rembcrt and I la good sections, while the one now in Concord v\ 111 probably be carried over toward Shiloh for a part of the year. This makes a half dozen registered Cole Aberdeen Angus bulls now in the county, while we have only one regis? tered Hereford, There Is no question but that the boll Weevil Will be here In ? few years and if we are still struggling With fertilizer problems as we are today there will be no hope for us. We shall b ivc to go through a state of poverty and a great deal of the land will change hands, which is not at all de? sirable. While on tho other hand if we arc properly fortified with live Stock, we shall not suffer any serious consequences. The live stock Indus? try Is the only substitute for the cost lly practice of using large quantities of commercial fertilizer. W e not only want to grow our own beef but wo must supply our own dairy products, which we lack a great deal of doing at present. This fall I want to have established some cream fry routes to collect cream to bo shipped to tho Darlington Creamerv. As soon si these routes are developed enough to justify WO can establish a creamery of our own. ii takes from four to sis hundred contributing rows to make a creamery a success. At present we shall have difficulty in mustering a. hundred. These creamery routes are \?ty popular in the Upper part of the State, where the cream Is hipped into the Clemson College Creamery for manufacturing. These < h< eka owning In every we tk or twice a month help so much to keep the farm expanses down. Prof. w. W. Long is very much interested in de? veloping either some dairy or beef cattle upon every farm in the state, because without these fertiliser fac? ti Ties We cannot hope to build up our soil t.? that state "t fertility Which mal ea ior a prosperous and contented people. Anyone In the county who has any coa*s and would like to dis? pose of BOSOS cream, please communi? cate with me. J, Prank Williams, Sumter-.
