that in the very thick of the

this day will somehow be observed.
Little truces will be de?

changed and the song of the !

Senator Tillman is chairman of

taskes the position that with a
strong navy to keep an enemy
from landing on our coasts there
would be less need of a lar?e
army.
IS THIS A CHRISTMAS GIFT?
We hear that, effective Jan
1st, next, in connection with the
Bennettsville and Cheraw railroad,
the Chesterfield and Lan
caster railroad will be put on ]
through trains each waj daily 1
between Pageland and Bennetts- f
ville. These trains to run over t
the Seaboard Air Line railway t
from Cheraw Junction, to Kol- c
locks, all trains stopping at the 1
S. A. L. passenger station in
Cheraw. Now, this sounds most a
too good to be true. However, J
we certainly hope the Seaboard h
management has at last decided c
to take notice of the long suffer f
ings of a patient public and give c
the patrons of both roads the c
improved service that rumor f,
says we'll have. C
It has long been the dream of h
the people of Chesterfield and other
points along the route of
the Chesterfield and Laucaster s
U. R. for passenger trains to be a
operated into the Seaboard pas-, H(
songer station in Cheraw, for I,
this would be a great conven- r(
ience to all Vl patrons of the
abroad. As it is now, when one,,
irrivcp at Oheraw over the C &
a. he is still slightly more
han a mile away from the busi
less section of the town?the adlitional
cost from the station up
own is nearly as much as the
uilroad fare from Chesterfield 1
,o Cheraw.
This whole territory will not
iced to be entreated to pray that
lie Seaboard will play Santa

TOGETHER AND BOOST
There is anew spirit abroad
n the world. It, is the spirit of
lemocracy, the spirit of getting ;
together, the spirit of cooperaiion.
This spirit is finding ex-j
iression in small groups, in
lubs and lodges, in unions aud I
'ederations and in a growing
spirit of unity among churches. J '
[t is beginning to seek enibociineut
in tertns of a civic consci-' 1
lusness, iu better national ui.i- (
;ies and in world policies. ,
Because of the isolation ai d \
ndividualism of the smaller i
-owns and cities this spirit is <
slow in findiin/ moans <>f ?vr?r<.j
don. The smaller towns are si- ;
;ial unit es of great important ?, ,
n some respect* of more in- <
portance than the larger cities.'

professions, the greatest leaders :
n politics and state craft, in iniustry
and commerce have come
Torn the country or smaller !
-owns The greatest Man who
?ver lived came .from the little
town of Nazareth.
The first problem of a small
x)wn is to see itself and its needs
dearly. The greatest object of 1
ts citizens should not be to get
is many dollars as they can and
<eep them as long as they can,
put to build the best town they
jan and to produce the best type
>f boys and girls, men and wo:neu,
the best churches and
schools, the best forms of
imasuments and recreation and
to boost with enthusiasm anything
that will Rive an opportunity
for community expression, to
things making f< r the common
iood.
The t hautuaqua that is to be
ajiven in Chesterfield affords just
such an opportunity and channel
of expression. It should
liavo the cooperation of every
:iti/.on of Chesterfield. Our,,
largest auditorium should be'
filled with enthusiastic boosieis
If this is done, and well done, it
will be worth many times its i

these Ohautauquas wholesome

B? WINTER RAINS
Uncovered Hillside Soils Lose
Tons of Fertility Annually
That Could Be Saved.
i
GRACING WILL SAVE IT
Laying Off Terraces on the Slopes and
Growing Winter Cover Crops Will
Save Millions to South Carolina
Farmers?Hillside Erosion Especially
Costly in Piedmont 8ection of
8tate.
South Carolina farmers, and especially
those in the hilly Piedmont section,
need to terrace their lands to
keep the boII from being washed away
by erosion, which Is a wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The erosion
caused by rain water washes
thousands of tons o. soil annually
from the lands of this state, with a
consequent loss of fertility. Nature's
method of preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
loaves, and grass. Man's method Is
to terrace and grow winter cover
crops.
A terrace Is a ridge of soil thrown
up in such a manner as to prevent
water from flowing rapidly down a
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing.
Use a leveling instrument In running
lines for terraces. One can be
had for from $12 to $25 and can be
used for many other kinds of work on
the farm. It is nocc ^ary also to have
a "hillside'* plow, so that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line of the
terrace, by the use of the leveling instrument,
begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
It, using a hillside plow, throw the
next furrow down hill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until the
proper distance has been covered to
get an elevation of about three feet.
This system, having the terraces abcut
three feet high and vertical, will give
what is known as the level bench
terrace, the land between anv twi I
terraces becoming a level bench *,vitl
no fall In any direction after a few
years' cultivation. The level bencl
terrace is best suited to most of the
farms In Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as a rule, near the
upper edge of the hillside Held, be
cause if the top terrace breaks it is
well nigh impossible to prevent the
terraces below from being swept
away.
Run a terrace or ditch at the upper
edge of the field to care for the surplus
water which may come from an
adjoining field, pasture or woodland.
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system of terraces to
control.
Crossing terraces with teams, plows
or wagons will form depressions that
will allow water to break over and
start gullies, which weaken and de-1
stroy a terrace. Avoid this by leaving
at the end of the field a sodded
slope to be used as a road to get from
one terrace bench to another.

HOME-MIXED FERTILIZER
Farmer# Can Save From Three to
Five Dollars Per Ton by Mixing
Materials at Home
Farmers can save from three to
five dollars a ton by mixing their forLlllizers
at home. Three other advantages
of home-mixed fertilizers are
dated as follows by Clomson College
authorities:
1. It is possible to know definitely
from what sources the ammonia in
pour fertilllzer is derived.
2. It Is possible to prepare for each
::rop the special grade of fertiliser
iest suited to It.
3. There Is a saving In freight,
lauling, and distributing, by not havng
to handle a lot of "filler" that Is
?ut in ready-mixed fertilizer.
Farmers can got Circular 10,
