Pf SANTUCK Y^l Santuc, March 20.?If my Sam, my rich old Uncle Sam ftv around looking for idlers on the {BA or anywhere else to put in CI&Aa and I was of the draft age, he w f* not trouble me for no man is b?n * than I, trying to get things in shape. Just today I had to make handles for hoes, some single-trees to make and I could scarcely decide which to do first, are to get out and smooth out fraztled odds and ends about the fields, while it was too wet to plough. We had good rains Sunday which were badly needed. The ground hog knows something after all for on February 2nd he did not see his shadow and he said then that the winter was broken jmd did you ever see such a change?" It became so spring-like that farmers thought they were farther behind than they really were. I believe some wanted to plant but it is too early yet. Hut we want to keep up-to-date especially since there is such scanty of labor . There were several negroes who made trades some got farms to work and about March 1st slipped out to parts unknown, perhaps north. If one can beat a man out of his winter's keep or a goodly sum of money and goes north and lets all the others know big wages he is getting and when he comes back for Christmas he has several more wrinkles on the horn and is a hero. His dishonesty is no shadow in their sight. That is why some people are fast growing to be afraid to trust them. A bad state to bring the race to, but they are bringing it upon themselves. I could say more here, I did not start for that but will say that we arc going to try to find ourselves, or I hope South Carolina will but we must make some cotton. Just this morning I heard some farmers talking about top-dressing their wheat to increase the yield if possible. De spite a eood com cron made we mnol plant a preen forage crop, or the severe winter about put oats of the question. It was so cold in December but a little snow saved a few oats. By the way the annual summary from the Weather Bureau at Columbia said December 1917 was the coldest on record for South Carolina, datinp back thirty-seven years. Some cold, that. I am bepinninp to believe that there oupht to be a draft law to make some people po to work, especially some nepro women, even if they have husbands who pive them rations, they oupht not to be allowed to sit in the house from the beginning of winter to cotton hoeinp time and not do a stroke of work, hardly patchinp clothes and burn wood and e^t flour. They do not want corn bread, it does not with them. The country is ^Pdll work, white women are doing many things, scrimping and saving and doing extra work to help in these war times and the negro women are sitting in the houses or padding about and probably studying up devilment. Right now there is a lot of work on the farms that is needed and could be done by women as well as men. They used to plough in the long ago. How about velvet beans this year? Numbers of people condemn them, complain that we must plant corn. I nm ttrUU ?- * *? ? vituiiuujr vim vci*cu ut-ana unu Gathered 5 bushels year ago, and have plenty for planting now. Mine and my brother's hogs have grazed off them in one patch, it was on poor land and while we tried to encourage old 'Mahuzzyly" and her kids to go to ;he swamp, they preferred the beans. [ like velvet beans for a legume crop that will wait all winter to be hogged iff and trey have many advantages aver the field pea, but don't think I am against the pea, oh no, plant peas ;oo. This township held a Sunday School convention at the Baptist church here ast Sunday but only a very small crowd attended. Almost everybody was afraid of getting wet, but never nind, there were several good speechis made by local talent and I got aa nuch out of these speeches as if the bouse had been full. Mr. Henry Hames the county secretary-treasurer met with us and we were glad to have him. Vfr. Hames spent quite a while at our bouse waiting for the train. We were so glad to have him. T wish more people could have been )ut as it would have looked more ^heery to a visitor. Rev. Mr. Cooley, the Methodist pas :or came up from Carlisle and he did much to help out the meeting. I hope that we may do better some day. Releem ourselves on a convention. Hey Denver. Of course if the soldiers of the fwenty-second division have to sing the "Star-Spangled Banner" or anything else, they can do it. But what the average soldier at Camp Gordon'1 irobably wants to know is what in he Sam Hill has speeding an hour or 'o a day trying to learn to sing got to lo with fighting the Huns. The nation has faith that the Eighty-second livision will carry German trenches ivhen it gets "over there," but it's a 'inch it won't do it because it did or lid not carry a tune in camp.?

I.?Thrift stamps arc very popular in the Philippines, the first consignment having been bought up within two days of its arrival in the islands. The majority of purchasers bought in small amounts, usually from $4 to $18 worth, and many took this means of starting savings accounts for their children. Judging from the many inquiries in regard to thrift stamps there is no doubt that the $10,000 consignment now on its way to the islands and the $10,000 lot which will follow that will easily be disposed of. Plans are now on foot to extend the campaign to the provinces. That Morning Lameness If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen the weakened kidneys and avert more serious troubles, use Doan's Kidney Pills. You can rely on a Union njan's testimony. R. & Foster, wheelwright, 95 Vf . Main St., Union, says: "Years of hard work brought on inflammation of the bladder and kidney trouble. I could hardly get out of bed morning, I felt so stiff and lame. My kidneys acted too freely, obliging me to get up several time at night and the secretions burned in passage. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply from the Palmetto Drug Co. I felt relieved after I had taken a few doses and one box rid me of backache. I was soon fixed up in good shape." Price 60c, at all dealers.
