About Is miles south of Greenwood we came to a cross roads, the right led to Mc Cormack IS miles west; straight ahead to Augusta. 30 miles and to our left to Edgetield.

The ladlsa of Itblge Spring serve coffee, tea sind sandwiches to the train loads of soldiers that pass through. That af? ternoon they had served a thousand soldiers on a northbound train. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. .la nicy Scarborough, last surviving son of the famous portrait painter of that name of the last century, llrst cousin of Bd Miller of the Item force, of Rev. Robt. Lide of Alcolu and Dr. it. It. Furman of Privateer, boyhood chum of the late David lade and W. Mi Ramsey. Wp Just had a great ( time w ith thesu charming cousins and i thelf attractive children?all brouKht about by seeking a better road home. The next morning at I o'clock we said goodbyes and started on our drive of 4:t miles to Columbia. 14<? big army trucks loaded with soldiers on a practice hike had traveled over tin road from Augusta to Columbia ami return, a few days before, and we found the road fearfully cut up. 1 question if there is any part of Marl? boro county under as high a state of cultivation as the Ridge section from Falgetiehl to some few miles this side of Iieesville. Asparng'us, peaches and cotton give them three sources of money each year. Wheat, oats and ? diu in ahundam-c. ami looking bet? ter than any I saw after leaving Prov? idence. Mr. Stuekey, who is cashier of the bank told me that section has not bought any corn or hay for some years. I passed through there In ltHM* after a toUr of Saluda county and saw more fifty and sixty bushel to the acre corn than I ever saw in anv other section of the State that 1 ba\c traveled through. It bids fail to do so thi? year. Young peach or? chards are In evidence ull througn that section clear on to Rlaney in Keishaw county. I may be mistaken, but the loamy soils lll?e Da 17. oil, Hoykin, I.ugoff. some parts of New ? berry. Jaunens, Greenwood and all or the Ridge section, very much like our Salem lands, are better farming lands than the red clay?these lands certainly He better than the clay hills and are easier to farm. We saw fine IteMs of alfalfa in I^aurens and Green? wood counties. I can not remember any in Newbcrry. At 12 o'clock we left Columbia and at two o'clock ate dinner in Camden. pet ween four und six o'clock we made two calls this side of Dalzell and from f? to 8 two calls In Sumter. At 9 o'clock we rolled in to our own gate -very tired?but glad to have gone, glad to have made a trip of nearly four hundred miles with no se? rious inconvenience. Glad to have made many new friends, to have re? newed old acqualnhinccs, thankful for many kindnesses which we can only repay by passing them on. but gladdest to be at home. As the An? derson county boy said after pros? pecting for tmo miles in Georgia when he came In sight of home "you're the dearest place on earth to me," and his father said, "Amen. Prals*' the laird." So "Re It ever so humble there Is no place like home." K. W. D. Mr. Frances Warren and bride, of Jacksonville, spent several days with his aunts, the Misses Warren, this week. They left for Jacksonville Thursday morning, taking his chil? dren, Francis and Clytlc, who have lived here with their aunts for two years. They are line children and will be greatly missed by all of us who knew them. Rains and more rains at this season means no idle cry of wolf. If some crops are not abandoned it will be almost a miracle. Some cotton is so bud that it will be planted In corn when dry enough to work east of here between l.vnchhurg and Olanta where' 1 was told today the rains have been heavier than here in Salem. B, W.

Washington, May 21.?Holland has been notified by the United States gov? ernment that her request for three ships now in American ports to carry the balance of the grain promised her by President Wilson can not bo granted, and that to prevent further delay in the movement of the grain Dutch ships ahould be sent for it at once. The fact that this step had been taken became known today soon after the receipt of press dispatehos an? nouncing that The Netherlands gov? ernment had prohibited the depar? ture of Dutch ships from its ports. Of? ficials were at a loss to understand the meaning of Holland's action, though it was assumed that the atti? tude of Germany was responsible. More than 400.000 tons of Dutch ship? ping are idle inv Dutch ports accord? ing to information In the possession of the state department. Fifteen thousand tony of cereals are at ports of embarkation for Holland and by the time ships come for it there will be enough to make up the 110,000 tons remaining to be supplied Of the 60,000 tons promised. Holland has been warned that this supply can not be maintained indefinitely. The state department pointed out to the Netherlands government that sa a special concession to provide for urgent needs of thai country the war trade board permitted the departure from the United States of three ships With 14,000 tons of cereals on con? dition that replacing ships would be sent from Dutch ports simultaneously. in addition to the grain being ac? cumulated at Atlantic ports r.0,000 tons are being concentrated at Argen? tine ports. It Is understood Holland will be asked to send ships for this also. The Dutch steamer Holland la, au? thorized to ship a cargo of grain from the Argentine for Holland, being un-' able to take on a full cargo because of the low water in the River Platte, will be permitted to come to an American port where f?00 tons of American grain Will be taken on.

The exer? cises were to have begun at Id a. m. At. that hour the superintendent, W. H. Freeman, was on hand, bat was waiting. We have among us a veri? table nightingale. Atter a time Mrs. T. S. Stuekey arrived and the exer? cises began by the children march? ing in and singing, Mrs. C. J. Jackson at the organ. Aft t the song a short prayer by ft, C. Bethen, then anoth ? r song, followed by an address by the superintendent as to the object of the Children's Day, then another song by the children, etc. We have attended children's day exercises many times, but never be? fore have we seen them pass off so well as on this occasion, due to the efficient management and excellent training of Miss Aurelia Mayer, the teacher of the Stateburg school. Ev? erything went off without a hitch any? where, no reading of programme or calling of names. It was a most pleasurable occasion. Quite a number of our people were in Sumter Sunday afternoon in at? tendance upon the Red Cross exer? cises, among whom we may men? tion, W. H. Freeman and wife, R. K. Atkinson and sister, Miss Courtenay Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Shlrer. Long ago Virgil wrote: I sing of the arms and the hero, telling of the sack of Troy, etc. Had any unsympa? thetic one cried: "Shut up, it is all lies" it would have been a knock down and drag out scrape, for in those days it was a word and a blow. The songster died, but the song Went on swelling in volume and mel? ody. Heroes will be ns long as the World lasts, and so will croakers, but today the treatment of the latter is unite mild. Say, if you don't like my song, just keep mum and we will try to endure it. But we have our heroes and we have them one a^nd all. Mrs. J. M. Reames. and Mrs. H. C. Rethea go as delegates of the Wo? man's Auxiliary Missionary Society of Rethesda Methodist church to the State conference, which convenes at Dillon on the 29th of May. You made we gay that Messrs. J. Tj. Jackson and T. R. Moody went as delegates to the district mission meet? ing at Lynchburg when it was their wives. Mr. and Mrs. S. WT. Allen have a very sick baby, but at last accounts it was better. The Red Cross meetings at Rem hert white") and at Rafting Creek (colored) Raptist church on the night of the 2<>th were a success in every way. "Hagood." Re nbert, May 21, 1918. I Geo. H.
