Happenings Of Interest from Our
NeighbOring Town.

Mr.. VIM. Cogburn has the finest
potatoes we have seen. A few years
ago he procured peck OF the vine
less sugar vsm, which yielded him
eight bushels of potatoes. Last
year he planted half all acre; from
one row seventy yards long he
measused five bushels of potatoes.
The price received for these pota-
toes was from eighty-6ve cents to
one dollar per bushel.
The Farmers Institute which
will convene here on the Oath in
slant will: have addresses by some
able men. All farmers should at
tend, as much valuable informa-
tion can he gained, while an ex-
change of ideas will enthube all,
and awaken much latent ambition,
which will yield success where
failure has heretofore followed.
On the 5th of August the South
Carolina Horticulturists will be
with us. This also is an important
meeting and should meet the hear
ty cooperation of the entire COM
munity, as there ID much to learn.
The many blunders and failures
resulting from inexperience and
ignorance enioins us to adyise 9th
ers. A pecan tree of seven years
had it's second crop of nuts, to
make them fine, we deemed it ex-
pedient to fertilize and throw an
occasional bucket of water around
the tree; all well enough at the
proper time but the result was at
that stage, a shedding of all nuts
and a new growth of foliage. An
other catastrophe was necessary, to
learn us the time to fertilize. For
eight years we had nursed Queen
of the night" Cactus, never having
seen bloom, almost discouraged,
we gave ita season of neglect. To
our surprise a month ago we dis
covered a bud about the size of
a young pine burr, and very much
like it. Buoyant with hope we
gave the plant top dressing and
liberal supply of water. IL a few
days it shed the bud and is now
enjoying luxurious growth.
Messrs. Gerold LaGrone and
Frank Richardson, of Augussa,are
with the home folks.
Mr.. Wright Miller,of Greenville,
is visiting friends here.
Miss Curran Hartley, OF Edge
field, is with Miss Fannie Strother.
Miss Lun;e Wright, of Honea
Path, is the guest of Miss Lylei La
Grone.
The New Century club has re-
ceived lot of nice new books.
Ten sets of books for the "Bay
View Course of Study" have also
been received.

ITS GLORY ALL GONE
Melancholy Fate of a Famous Amer
ican Frigate.
Forgotten, the President Lies at a
London DOck-Was One Of the Fin
est Fighting ships That Ever
Flew Our Flag.

Never again will there be a war be
tween England and America. This is
the very confident prediction of the
statesmen of the two great English
speaking nations. More than ordinar,
interest attaches, therefore, to the
once famous Yankee frigate President.
whose guns were among the last to be
trained by Americans on the flag of
England. For nearly a century this
trophy Of the final armed conflict be-
tween the two countries has rested in
English waters. Few are the Ameri-
cans who know that one of the most
renowned fighting ships of the early
days of the republic-a sister-ship Of
the beloved Constitution, of which
Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the stir
ring lines:
"Ayi Tear has battered ensign down
Long has 1t waved on high
lies, unhonored and forgotten, in a
London dock. Just century ago this
winter the President. newly launched
from a New York shipyard was in the
Mediterranean as the American navy's
first flagship on the European station.
The contrast between her and the pres
ent American flagship, the steel-clad
illinois, is as great as that between the
young republic Of those days and the
mighty America of to-day.
Little does the President look like
fighting ship to-day as she lies in
the West India docks, denuded of
masts and spars and carrying a
house on her deck. But, says the
London Graphic, in the early years of
the past century, when England was
embroiled in the Napoleonic conflict
and had little desire for a dispute
with the states, the fleet-footed Yam
kee frigate circled the British isles.

British flag. Such a scourge was she
to British shipping that the admir-
atty issued a special circular to the
navy that the President must be cap
tured at all hazards.

ship came to fly Britain's flag is a

I
/ (Once Upon Time She Was the Pride Of
Our Navy)
story Of Anglo-Saxon courage and
daring. II was on the night of Jan
uary IA, 1918, that the President,
having just returned from "bearding
the lion in his den," was chased into
Long Island sound, near New York
harbor, by a British fleet. In COM
mand Of her was the adventurous
Decatur, whose capture and burning
OF the Philadelphia in the harbor of
Tripoh in 1904 Nelson pronounced
the "most daring act of the age"
At daybreak on the 18th, the Pres
ident, having grounded and strained
herself during the night, was again
under sail. Decatur then discovered
that four of the enemy's ships were
in pursuit, one on each quarter and
two astern. At noon the breeze fell.
The Yankee frigate was almost wa
terlogged.
A favoring breeze brought on the
Endymion, the most powerful Of the
pursuing feet. She opened fire with
her bow chasers, TO which Decatur
replied with his stern battery. This
running fight continued for two hours
and the Endymion was so disabled
that she avoided Decatur's efforts to
come TO close quarters. For hours
the two ships sailed side by side, fir
ing occasional guns. But towards
midnight two fresh English ships,
the Pomone and the Tenedos, crawled
up and opened fire on the President
at close range. Decatur was com
PEELED to strike his colors. His loss
was "a killed and IS wounded.
The loss Of the President was In
vestigated by court-martial, but
Decatur was exonerated of blame.
an this unequal contest the enemy
gained a ship, but the victory was
ours" the court found. "We fear we
cannot express in a manner that will
do Justice TO our feelings our admira-
tion of the conduct of Commodore
Decatur and all under his command"
The President was sent to Ber-
muda, and from there she was
brought TO England by the Endy-
mion, whose captain was rewarded
by the king. For 35 years the Pres
ident lay at Portsmouth, where she
was the model for several British
frigates. Later she was at Chatham,
and some time in the SOS she be-
came drill ship at the West India
docks. There she has rested for 40 |
years, and on her ancient gun deck, |
where once American sailors gave
their lives for their flag, British blue
Jackets are now instructed in the art |
of modern naval warfare. One mark |
only does she bear of her American |
origin-the fgurehead of John Ad-

Some People
Can't Eat
Bread

Bread is reputed to be the "staff
of life" yet there are some people
who never eat bread. We allude
to this because Of curious paral-
lei fact in medicine. If even bread
does not suit quite everybody, we
don't expect one medicine, even
Vinol, to cure everybody.
But we recommend Ninol and
sell it on a guarantee Of money
back if it does not benefit the user.
Though we can't expect all TO
be cured, yet, strange to say, out
of every one hundred bottles sold,
less than two per cent proved
unsatisfactory. In other words,
ninety-eight out Of every hundred
found Vinol Of value - many of
them of very great value.
We want to say that if you are
rundown, weak, too thin, ailing,
with bad stomach, poor appetite,
cough, nervousness, that we think
Vinol will help you. AT any rate,
it will cost nothing to try it.
You can have your money back if
you say it doesn't help you. Vinol
has a pleasant taste, and is recon-
mended by physicians as a safe
andunusually effective body-builder
and general tonic.
