The Chautauqua attractions yes? terday afternoon and last night were fully up to their former high stand ard and all who attended were de? lighted with the musical program and with Mr. ' Fogleman's lecture.

Mr. Harry Im Fogleman is "some talker." His subject was "An Analy? sis of Success and Failure" was a talk, as th .superintendent and advance no? tices stated, which every business man <>r Bumter and all of his employees should have heard. He pointed out the fact th t "Service," satisfactory in all of its details, was what mad? a success of a business. "Quality quantity and Manner" were the three essentials in se lling good . [1 must be the Quality paid, the quantity paid for and must be sold in a way pleasing to the customer. He stated that it WM not a matter of how long a man worked, which marked accom? plishment, but how much he did with? in a certain time, end he. evldenth wanted to put evory work possible within the time allotted him in ad dreseing the local audience.

There is no reason why we can not have a far greater occasion than last year's, which was only an experiment. People have learned where Dink ins' Mill is, its accessibleness, etc. Our country folks understand and so the city people, that everyone is to carry a basket, and that no one need go away hungry. Speakers are being arranged to ad? dress us on living questions of the day. Matters we need to know, to think about, to arrange for. The time is short so let us get busy and try to bring a great company of folks, the rich and poor, the high and low, all the trades and professions, together. It is everybody's occasion, and let us make the most of it. While w rit bag on the subject it is not amiss to ray something about the dinner table. The writer's plan is to have a common table served by com? petent persons chosen for the occa? sion, and in sufficient number, and let there be an inner table with suffi? cient food reserved for those waiting whose needs will be attended to after the others have been fed. I sug? gest this that there maybe no embar? rassment to the poor, who may at? tend. We believe it is for our mutual good for all classes to come togeth? er once a year in the manner Indi? cated. We are no! the picnic, and if the powers that be arrange otherwise w< Submit gracefully. H. c Bethca. Rembert, April 23, 1017. cut Worna in The Garden. - Clemson College, s. C, March 21.? The cut worms feed only at night. Dt ring the day they arc under cover usually at. the buse of the plant! just beneath the surface of tin mound. The winter is passed in the soil In the form of one-half to three-fourths grown cut worms and in early spring they co-ae forth rav? enous hungry from their long wlntcr*? fast. For Garden Planted in Hins. Wrap writing paper around the Stalks of'the plants near the base When transplanted. Hand picking in the family garden is intensely practical when done every morning for a period of seven days. It takes but a few minutes to do this every morning. They can frequently be trapped by punching a hole at the base of each plant with a broom handle or by placing shingles near the plants for them to collect under at light. Before a cut worm in? fested ground is planted one can scatter poisoned weeds or clover on the ground late in the evening so that these plants will remain fresh during the night. Chick weed Is a good plant to use. The plants tire dipped In a solution of arsenate of lead at the rate of one part to fifty gallons of water or one tablespoon fUl to an ordinary pall of water. Always stir arsenate of lead into a paste with a little water before ad? ding to the pall or barrel. An ex? cellent bait for cut worms is made as follows: Mix fifty pounds of wheat bran, two pounds Of Paris Green and :;ix finely chopped oranges or lemons. Make this whole mix? ture Into a dough by the addition of a cheap molasses, adding water if necessary. Distribute this late in the afternoon, sprinkling it spar? ingly around each bill. Jn the ab sence of the wheat bran, middlings or ojthcr brands can be substituted. Tut worms become full grown about May lGth, when they are changed into crysalls and the dam? age will rapidly disappear. A meeting of the negro cltlsens ol Sumter will be held at Lincoln school tonight to discuss sanitary measures. The meeting will be addressed by Dr. Mood ami others, who will urge th< negroes to do all In their power to Observe health rules and retain good health. Subscribe to The Dally Item.
