EIGHTY.FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
Celebrated by the RichIand Volunteers at
HYATT Park


The eighty-tifth anniversary OF that
time honored command, the Richland
Volunteer Rife company, given at
Hyatt park was one of the pIeasautest
IN its history. All preparations had
been made, the atmosphere was cool
and bracing, the people we're all on
pleasure bent, and there was an abund-
ance Of good things to satisfy the appe-
tite OF the most fastidious. In fact, ev-
erythirg conspired to make the occa-
sion one of enjoyment. The Volunteers
went out early in the morning and
throughout the day were busy look
ing after tho comfort of their guests.
Every member was dilligent in his
attention to oil on the ground, and
if anybody felt dissatisfied it was
due to no fault of the Volunteers.
"Uncle" William Rose, the hero of
three wars, was present, and the happy
thought of being with the Volunteers
seemed to add zest and new life to him.
He expressed himself as being perfectly
charmed with the days program. After
dinner had been served the speaking
began and interesting addresses were
made.

Household Hints.

A basket kept on a swinging shelf
is the proper receptacle for eggs.
Keep potatoes and all root vegeta-
bles in box or bin in dry cellar.
Cranberries may be kept for months
in crooks or jars and covered with wa
ter.
Cold vegetables and the like must
be covered if not kept in wired cup
board.
Milk should be as far as possible
separated from other food and kept
clear and cool.
Freshly made tea and coffee stains
may be removed by at once stretching
the part over bowl, and slowly pour
ing boiling water through it.
In preserving berries or any other
fruit liable to fall to pieces, if a small
lump of alum is added to the fruit
while cooking, it will make it firm.
Raw potato with a bathbrick will
remove stains from steel knives and
forks, and stains can also be taken
ou, of tinware and brass in the same
way.
Two tablespoonfuls of washing soda
dissolved in a gallon of boiling water
makes an excellent disinfectant for
the kitchen sink. Pour in while boil.
ing hot.
An efectual way of getting rid of
cockroackes is to place slices of Gu
cumber over the floor they frequent
at night. They devour this greedily,
and it destroys them.
In making jelly it must be borne in
mind that the less stirring there is
the better. If stirred too much the
Jelly is not clear, while the tendency
of sugar to granulate is increased by
stirring.

Coming of the King.

The opening Of a new cotton season
is now in sight and all along the water
front at Charleston, are noted signs OF
the approach of the King. Docks are
being dredged out, wharves repaired
and cotton offices Strengthened up for
the handling of big business. 1t was
thought last spring that if war was
declared the exporting business would
suffer greatly, but now that the war
seems about to end, before the cotton
season begins, nothing of the kind can
be anticipated. In fact the cotton men
are looking for larger business than
before in many years, The crop pros
poets seem good and prices are evil
IDENTITY going to be better than last
year. = -

The Best in Ten wears.

The crops in Lancaster county have
not for ten years given better promise
ttqr good yield, Ehsss ig one fatg
dred acres Of corn and twenty acres Of
cotton, within mile OF the court house,
which, it is thought by judges, will
yield 1000 bushels of corn and twenty
bales OF cotton. While this may prob
ably be considered the choicest farm,
taken as q whole in Lancaster county,
it is one among the many fine crops
throughout the county.

A Home Market for Their Wheat.

The wheat crop of Spartanburg coun-
ty, abundant as it is, would be entirely
consumed before the first day of Janu-
ary if no flour was imported from other
States. A very conservative estimate
places the amount OF wheat and corn
required to give bread to the classes not
owning or working on farms is quar-
ter of a million bushels per annum.
Thus it may be seen that Spartanburg
farmers can get home marketfor their
wheat if they should raise four times as
much as they now do.

gar as will be needed; add a few
slices o! freshly boiled red beets,
