Paxville, April 27.?A meeting in the interest of the civic preparednes: movement was held at the graded .school auditorium here Tuesday af ternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Owing to the rush of planting the crops the meet? ing was not well attended by the farmers, but several families werf represented by the wives and children of the farmers. Mr. M. B. Corbett called the as? semblage to order and introduced the Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, who has recent? ly accepted the patsorate of the Man ning^ Baptist church, the first speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Lightfoot made an exceedingly forceful address. He emphasided th< fact thit the food supply of the world would be short, so many of the farm era of the European nations being in the trendies and not able to make tin crops, and urged that the State no< only feed itself, but plant enough t feed other parts of the world. Miss Catherine Richardson, th' county demonstration agent, stressed gardening, and told of several vege tables to he planted at all seasons of the year. She urged the preserving and canning of every available foo.1 product, ami asked that the people and school children practice economy ill the use of these foodstuffs. She of fsred to come up at any time and give demonstrations along this line. Mr. A. C. McFadden, of the State agricultural department, made a very forceful appeal for crop diversifies tlon, and gave many plausible reason why. He Urged the farmers to plant extensively the soy and velvet bean, raise his meat and grow a bifT patch Of wheat. The meeting was then ad? journed with prayer by Rev. Lightfoot. RsceUenl Progress Made in Fields. Manning, April 28.?Excellent progress Is being made with this yearY crops in Clarendon county. A much larger acreage than usual has been planted In com, nearly all of which is up to a good stand and much of it has been worked oxer. Cotton is also coming up well and a largo propor? tion of It has been worked over th< first time. Most of the farmers have their tobacco set out and it promises well. The small grain crop, especial? ly oats, will be short, having been kill ed by the severe winter freeze. Some farmers who planted again after the freese will harvest fairly good rrops. Besides the regular crops nearly every y one} has given extra attention thl v?Ht to preparing gardens and wil! nl|so have potato and cane patches t< in making supplies at home. im ants wit tm'iUi.mi I ii WILLIE POSTON HEARS CRIBS AND RESCUES YOUNG MAN AND GIRL TEACHER, Boat Carrying Victims of Near Dou? ble Tragedy Capsized Near Lake City in Lynchen River. Lake City, April 28.-?Willie Poston. sixteen-year-old son of Mr. A. J, Poston, who lives near Leo, proved himself a real hero yesterday after? noon when he saved from drowning In Lynches river Miss Mattie Press!ey and Mr. Lay.r e Burch. These two young people were rowing in the rlyr er near Smith's bridge when the boat suddenly capsized and they were thrown into the river. No one was j near them at the time, but Willie Pos? ton was in the swamp some distance away. Attracted by their cries for help he worked his way through the woods to where Miss Pressley and Mr. Burch were struggling in the wa? ter. Some time had elapsed since the boat had capsized and as neither of the young people could swim they were In imminent danger. Miss Pressley was under for the second time when young Poston arrived on the bank, and seeing only Mr. B?rch In the water he at once jumped in to rescue him. He succeeded in doing this after a struggle, but looking back he saw Miss Pressley's hair as she was going under for the third time. Promptly jumping into the water again he caught her by the hair and succeeded in getting her near the bank, Where a companion pulled her on shore. Mr. Burch stated afterwards that he was giving up when he heard Poston coming and made another ef? fort to stay up until the boy could get there. . Miss Pressley, who is from Chester has been teaching school near the Poston home. She seemed to be lit? tle the worse for her experience and took the train here this morning for bor home. Her school ended its ses? sion a few days ago, and it was m connection with the closing that a picnic was given near Smith's bridge. In recognition of Willie Poston's bravery and cool nerve efforts are be? ing made to secure a Carnegie medal for him. DISTRIBUTE FREE SEED.
