The graduation exercises held in
the auditorium Friday evening were
auite a success. The stage was beauifully
decorated with palms and
ferns, the motto, "We press toward
the mark." was placed against the
white walls carrying out thd class
colors, green and white. The boys
are to be congratulated on the delivery
of thpir essays. One would
have thought on hearing them that
they were practiced orators. They
did well ana deserved all the praise
that they received. Everyone enjoyed
the violin solo given by Mr.
W. V. Jerman.
Mr. Whittle, principal of Bethune
school, delivered the graduating eddress
and it is doubtful if the people
of the community have ever listened
to a more interesting and instructive
address than the one he gave on
"Education." The only kick made
was that he should have talked for
three hours as he announced in the
beginning. Everyone listened so attentively
that his address came to an
end all too soon. Let us remember
his words and educate our ooys ana
girls.

ed for this use, consult with him. He

says that there will be a ready sale f
for all kinds of hogs that will do to c
slaughter by October 1st, as the packing
house at Orangeburg will be in
operation by that time. It will pay
every farmer this year as never br- a
fore in his life to raise a few more I
hogs than he needs at home. r
In another column of this paper ap- j
pears the call for the election on the r
issue of bonds for improvements in i
the Chesterfield High School. It is i
proposed to erect a building separate a

The new building will accommodate
the High School Department, leav- j
ing the larger building for the lower
grades, incidentally freeing the audi- 1
torium for uses to which an audi
torium are suited. The Advertiser is j
not going to insult the intelligence of
Chesterfieldians by urging that they I
support this measure. The need of it
is so apparent to everyone# and the (
cause so worthy and so close to the
hearts of our people that we cannot 1
believe thore will be one vote against J
it. J
Easter is inseparably associated

The Federal Farm Loan Board has ,
announced that no loans will be made ^
by the Land Banks to any farmer,
however much collateral he may have, j
unless he raises his food stuffs on his
own farm. This is a very important
announcement, and the farmers who
intend to make application to the
Federal Farm Loan Bank for long- 1
time loans at a 5 per cent rate of
interest had better take the precau \
tion of raising all foodstuffs at home J
this year, as this requirement will be r
necessary in order to obtain a loan I
j from the Farm Loan Hank. Aside
; from this, however, it is very impor- s
' tant that this year every farmer grow s
his own foodstuffs. The world has *
never known foodstuffs to sell for the
record prices they are now bringing, "
; and the outlook so far for the year
! 1917 is very gloomy for the wheat
and oat crops. It is predicted that 1
corn next winter will be even higher '
than it is now. Three-fourths of the 1
civilized world is already at war and ^
1 this country will soon be a partici- e
par.t. The whole world is consuming *
foodstuffs and we are the only
J country left to feed them. There- ^
fore, prices will go higher and higher. n

WHY DAIRYING IS
DESIRABLE FOR SOUTH
CAROLINA RIGHT NOW
1 Clemson College, S. C., March?.
Dairying is a desirable business in
South Carolina at the present time
for the following reasons:
(a) Because of the many cheap
and wholesome foods which the dairy
cow furnishes. Every farmer can
and should have the following dairy
products on his table; butter, cream,
buttermilk, ice cream, skimmilk,
whipped cream, and cream cheese.
Besides, dairy products may be used
| in the preparation of innumerable
dishes which should appear on the
farmer's table. A quart of milk is
equal to three-fourths of a pound of
steak to eight eggs, in food value.
(b) Dairying bring a constant
cash income and thus tends to eliminate
the credit system.
(c) Dairying provides constant
and profitable work for every day
in the year.
(d) Dairying farming builds up (he
farm. The nnvcrfv of tli>. aoil in
this state indicates that it is certainly
time for South Caol in fanners
to begin practicing diversified farming
in which Dairying has a place.
(e) Dairying makes diversified
farming more profitable. When the
farm products are fed to the dairy
cow instead of being sold directly
from the farm, tfle farmer gets a
profit in growing the crop and another
profit in feeding it and saving
the manure.
(f) Dairying will help South Carolina
farmers to meet the boll weevil
by making it possible to grow other
crops than cotton, and market them
through dairy cows at a profit, and
by making the farmers independent
of the one crop system.

HER SERVANT PROBLEM
WAS ESILY SOLVED
SINCE THEN SHE SAYS SHE HAS
FELT BETTER THAN IN
YEARS.
4T AM SO THANKFUL"
Went Right After Causes Of Her
Troubles And Results Were
Pleasing.
"Tanlac relieved my stomach trouble,
those choking spells and the other
painful symtoms I had in a few days,
and 1 have not suffered with these ailments
since," said Mrs. J. F. Burgess,
of Belton, on February 24th, while
praising Tanlac in a public statement.
"I had been a sufferer for a long time
from indigestion. I had severe choking
spells and it seemed that there
was a lump in my throat as big as a
hickory nut, and it was impossible for
me to eat without hurting afterwards
and I had no appetite, either.
"My nerves were bad, ami I wa-"
troubled a lot with sleeplessness
I'art of the time I was so weak I coulel
not do my housework, and shortness
of breath was another ailment thai
caused untold discomfort.
"I had heard so much about Tanlac,
and my condition, it seemed,
would not improve, so I decided to
give Tan lac a chance to better it, and
Tanlac did all right. It relieved tnc
nervousness, and I never have nervous
spells now. I was freed of the
indigestion, too, for which 1 am so
thankful, and I soon was strong and
able to do my work. Those choking
spells were ended. In fact, I am in
good heulth and have been since a
few days after I started taking Tanlac,
though I quit taking Tanlac six
months ago. I had been in bad
health about two years before I started
taking Tanlac, but about a yeat
ago I became so much worse that 1
had to have a servant do my housework.
got me in good shape, and
I feel bfctter now than I have for
seven or eight years."
