Rock Hill Herald, June Is: Misses
Sadie Robinson, Mary Hicklin and Ha-
zie and Jennie Whitesides returned to
their homes at Edgmoor on Wednesday.
They have been attending school at All
Healing Springs. We have been re-
,quested to call a meeting Of the cotton
growers of Catawba township, to be
held at Mount Holly, Saturday after
noon, June 22d, at 3 o'clock. The object
is to send delegates to county con-
vention to be held in Yorkville the first
Monday in July and to discuss the situ-
alton with the view of interesting the
men who grow cotton on the import
ance of the movement to organize so
as to protect the industry against the
manipulations of persons who depress
the market to the ruin of the farmer.
| -. Several farmers in the blackjacks
becoming discouraged with the pros
poets, were engaged this week In plow-
ing up their cotton and will plant corn
instead. 49,. The bricklayers of this city
organized on the 9Th instant, a brick

heroic record in war and whose patri-
otic effects in peace is a heritage to the
people of this community. The Cataw-
ba Rifles was one of the first compa-
1 nies in South Carolina to volunteer for
service in the Confederate army, and
was the first in the state to tender its
services to the government when war
was declared against Spain, and 1T Is
meet that the organization should be
perpetuated by the young men Of the
city. Up to yesterday the following
names had been appended to the roll:

Dickson, George Pope. The decision
of the Winthrop college trustees to
undertake the raising of poultry on the
college farm for use in the college
boarding department will, no doubt, If
carried out successfully, prove an OBJ
ject lesson of value to this section
Already there is considerable interest
in the industry, and several Of our cit
zens have introduced incubators with
very good success. Messrs. Parker &
Miller, raisers. of fine chickens, put in
all about 300 eggs in their incubator and
about 10 per cent. Of the eggs hatched.
Mr.. Woods Steele too has had very good
success. Out Of II eggs he got Ga
chicks; from another Sitting" of 10S
eggs, IS were Matched, and again out of
| 72 eggs he was rewarded with 56 chicks.
Three weeks ago he put SO eggs in his
incubator and a number Of healthy
"biddies" may be seen in their "nest," !"
while many others are peeping out of
the shells. Mr.. w. G. Whitner also has
an incubator and from two "sittings'
of 12O eggs each, he got 162 chicks, 70
the first time and 72 the next. Mr.. B.
F Merritt has likewise tried the merits
of an incubator this year at his home
in the country, where he made five
matches this season, the sittings includ-
ing 13O for each of three matches, III
later on, and 11S the last time. From
the first of the matches he got "a chicks,
from the next Ga; the next sc; from the
fourth he got IA, and from the last 7S.
Mr.. Merritt is satisfied that the way to
raise poultry successfully is by the use
| Of an incubator and brooder. Then the
arch enemies of chicks; lice and mites,
are gotten rid Of and there is less trou-
BILE and more pleasure in the raising Of
poultry. He now has about $50 young
chickens in his yard and is satisfied
had he not used his incubator and
brooder the number would not exceed
so. 1t is probably that at the Winthrop
farm several incubators will be intro
duced and the effort at poultry raising
there will be watched with much inter-
est. There ought to be money in poul-
try raising and the introduction of in
cubators will no doubt contribute large
ly to this end.
