It costs less to harvest and market a small crop than it does a larpe one. With a handsome price, the advantape is with the small crop. The European war has entered upon a condition that seems to preclude the possibility of peace this winter. Many oi us thoupht it could not pass throuph October, but it now appears that the tr.ci is far from sipht. Anyway, our I Oople are leaininp to depend morel vpon themse ves ana less upon the other nations. That much is pood. Now that, the election is over, and the matter has been seft!ed for two years, it is to be hoped that all bitterness may be put out of mind and J our people unite in makinp every of- | fort to advance the interest of our State. Time and time apain we have said that salvation does not depend \ upon the political fortunes of any l candidate or set of candidates. It is well for us to be interested in the for- < tunes of this or that candidate. But the prime necessity lies, in our being interested in the welfare of our State. I A united people, a people big enough j to bury all personal spite, is neces- " sary to the good of the State. We extend to all the boys and gin. \ ' now just entering upon the schoo.'j year, our greetings. Some folks say | that school days are the happiest days j ] of all. We do not believe one word of i < this. It is a hard way, a thorny way. i 1 It means toil, hard and relentless. But , 1 it pays. That is the thing, it pays. 1 Life is one great battle. The school days are not different from all the * days to come. There is not nor will < there be any days without their burdens. School days and all other days / are davs that will trv the mettle and purify the gold. That is what life is j for. ( We are compelled to send out our < call for help. Our "S. O. S." has never | failed us. It brings us good hard cash. We do not send out the call except in the face of hard conditions. The 1 price of paper and of everything that! goes into the making of a newspaper ^ has soared skyward. We have steadfastly refused to cut off any subscrib- r er, even when considerably in arrears. But we do urge that everyone now in arrears will send in a renewal. You ( just cannot imagine how great a help ; it would he for you to do this thing. , 1 One thousand sending in each a dollar j during the next four weeks?you see j what that would mean. Kindly look * at the little yellow label on your paper this week. If the date shows that your subscription has expired, sit down < at once and mail us a dollar for a years renewal. Our "S. O. S." comes to you with a fervency never before ( as insistent. Help us, now that the < fall is at hand, and the day of harvest 1 approaches. The one dollar will not t hurt you, but it, together with the 1 others, will help us wonderfully. ORPHANAGE WORK DAY. 1 Attention once more is called to the Orphanage Work Day that has been announced for September 30 next. Appeals have gone out from the various institutions to Sunday school superintendents and all others who are likely to be interested in the project. Emphasis might be given to the fact ! that Sunday school and church people . are not the only ones who could take j part in such a deserving work. The ] 1 destitute and helnless orphan should I appeal to every individual within our ! State. Contributions may be sent to', any institution that one may prefer. It certainly looks as if any person 1 might afford to give one day out of the | year as Labor Day for the orphan J children and contribute the results of the day, or the income of the day, to their care and training. It is to be hoped that thousands and thousands < of our people will cooperate in the Work Day effort. Things are getting serious for the wets in Chicago. Since the mayor has revoked 200 licenses there are only 5,000 saloons left in the city, and it is said there are districts where one must walk two whole blocks to get a drink. French munitions experts have invented a shell that breaks into two thousand parts when exploded. A pill that would do this when directed ?gainst our poliomyelitis germs would interest us more.

L. McKinney. Rev. W. B. Justus went over with me. After partaking of a sumptuous dinner the preacher, Mr. McKinney and I went over Mr. McKinney's farm, or a portion of it near the home. We walked through ten acres of cotton that will certainly turn out ten bales of cotton, for the bolls are all grown and are opening. Then we walked through 25 acres of corn that will certainly turn out 25 bushels per acre and this land Mr. McKinney calls poor land and the land really is old poor land for I have known it for -more than 50 years for an old relative of mine once owned it and I visited him before the late war. There are peas in all Mr. McKinney's corn and he will gather some 60 or 70 bushels of pea sand then turn the vines under. This poor has been put in a fine state of cultivation by rotating the crops and planting peas, clover and rye and turning it under. The sun doesn't shine on any of the land as it is kept shaded by cover crops and the cover crops turned under. As' to oats, fodder and peavine hay Mr. McKinney has quantities of it and will have nothing of the kind to buy for another year. I think Clemson College will do well to send an expert farmer down to see Mr. McKinney's farm and learn how to make corn and QM/1 KM % 1 Mr? ?* ? ? waiwu OIIU UUllll up UI1U IIIipiUVC poor I land. Mr. McKinney was born and reared up in Greenville countjf near the dark corner, as it is called. The remains of Mr. Joseph Sanders, who died at his home in Union, were brought to Jonesville this morning and buried in the cemetery here by the side of his first wife and a daugh- j tor that are buried here. Mr. San-1 ders once lived in Jonesville and his j wife and daughter died while he lived here. I rode with a man on the train j the other day from Jonesville to Union, who lives away up in the northwest corner of the United States, and he told me their wheat crop up there this year was a bumper crop, but he said we would get none of it down here; that it would go over into Canada to help feed the British army. This same man said there were few hogs in his country and that we would get no meat from up there. He said he would advise our people to go to raising hogs. The Wallace mills have hauled their coal from the railway to the mills, about a half mile, in wagons, and since the mills have been running at night it takes three wagons with two good mules each to haul the coal to the mills, but the mills has just put on a motor truck tohaul the coal that will do the work of two wagons. The wagons make nine loads a day each, while the motor truck makes 18 loads of 2500 pounds each with two hands. The truck is pulled by a 25 horse power Ford gasoline engine. The meeting at the Baptist church is still going on. The preacher, Mr. Whitesides, is drawing large crowds to hear him and several person^ have applied for membership into the church. The oil mill here commenced grinding the precious cotton seed Tuesday morning. The services at the Methodist church last Sunday were beautiful and impressive, the pastor received two per sons (boys) into the church and administered the sacrament of the Lord's supper to a large number of persons. What has become of the birds?the blue bird, the mocking bird, the blue iay, the red bird and the bull bat have all disappeared from about here. The English sparrow is here in great numbers. A member of the post guards artillery company of Jonesville requested me to say that the members of the company were anxious for the people to know that Dr. F. M. Ellerbe, captain of the company, was very kind and accommodating to the boys of his company while in camp at Fort Moul trie. There were nine of our young ladies to leave Tuesday morning for Rock Ilill to attend Winthrop college. Others will attend other colleges. Miss Annie Kelly left this morning ? for Columbia, where she will enter the State university and take a special business course. Mr. J. M. Gault has purchased a five passenger Dodge and it's a beauty. Telephone. . DIED. Mrs. Mamie Shipnian was born near Deets, C., Aug. 7th, 1887. When about 14 years of age she prof '?.ed faith in Christ and united with the East Fork Savannah Baptitst church, N. C. She was married to J. A. Shipman March 15, 1911. To them were born one girl.
