SOUTH CAROLINA PIGEON
BRKEDER8' ASSOCIATION
FORMED HERE YES?
TERDAY.
P. A. Hazard of Georgetown Chosen
President and Wendell M. Lev! of
munter is Secretary-Treasurer?
Much Enthusiasm Shown by Fan?
ciers Present and Indications Are
That Association Will be a Strong
Factor In Encouraging Industry
Within State.
Following the lead set hy the poul?
try breeders of the State who organ?
ized yesterday In Columbia, the pigeon
breeders from all sections of the State
gathered here today and organized
the South Carolina Pigeon Brooders'
Association. The meeting was not
largely attended, but it was a repre?
sentative body and the enthusiasm
shown by those present more than
made up for any lack in numerical at?
tendance.
The meeting was called to order at
the Claremont Hotel this afternoon,
und after preliminary discussions the
following officers were chosen: Presi?
dent. IT. A. Hasard, Georgetown; first
vice president/ F. m. deSaussure,
GreSnviNe; second vice president, C.
a\ Mola.Aden, Manning; secretaxy
treasurer, Wendell M. Levi, Sumter;
executive board, in addition to officers
who are members ex-offlclo, Prof. F.
O. Hare, Clemson College; F. G. Da?
vis, New-berry; n. B. Hendrtkson,
Charlesttn.
All of those present were enrolled
?a members of the association and all
other breeders of pigeons throughout
the State are cordially invited to t ~
come members, the annual dues I
ihg fixed at 11.00. A constitution and
by-laws were adopted and plane made
tor the first big pigeon show In the
State. This will bo held at, the same
time and piece that the South Carolina
Poultry^feeders' Association holds
Its annual show snd the fanciers of
poultry and pigeons present indicat?
ed their "intention of making the
show the b|ggest thing of Its kind ev?
er held in the State, In the way of
encouraging poultry and pigeon rais?
ers and thye bringing of the birds to?
gether for comparison in order to bet
r them. 1"
The objects of^tho organisation, as
outlined lu the preliminary plans, are
to stimulate the breeding of better
utility andI show stock, to develop a
more Intimate relationship between
the raisers of pigeons, that they may
know and learn from each other new
things about pigeon raising, to pro?
mote one show a year in order to stir
up friendly- rivalry between raisers
of the various types of birds, and to
see that beginners in the pigeon in?
dustry secure fair treatment. tW
motto of the association embodies this
idea: "We stand for fair dealings."
The organization of the pigeon f?n?
de rt of the State is a second step to?
wards bringing South Carolina to the
front in an industry in which she has
been far behind many of her slater
States, the raising of poultry and
pigeons. With the breeders of poultry
and pigeons organized into str?ng cen?
tral bodies the members of the two
issociations can better work togethor
fj'td cooperate In many ways to bring
ti.ia State to the front in the fight for
economic preparedness which is being
waged at this time, for the raising on
a larger scale of poultry and pigeons
will help much to provide food durinp
the world war. >
At the conclusion of the buslnoSJ
session the visitors were taken about

FOO10 PREPAREDNESS MEETING.
Speakers at Paxville Urge Growing of
Foodstuffs and Diversification.
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<

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.
