do you believe that" was the
scomful reply.
But, seriously, / think the strong
and quick growing chick will seldom
die from an attack Of gapes. There
is a common notion among older PEG.
pie on the farm that gapes are directly
caused by lice, especially head lice.
Lice and gapes were thus placed in
the role of cause and effect because
the cape worm found an easy prey in
the chick that had been weakened. by
the presence Of the vermin. Thus
the suppression of lice is another pre-
ventive measure which may be added
to those already given.
1t is an established fact of modern
medicine that the germs of various
diseases are ever present around US
and that every living thing is under
going a perpetual though unseen
struggle against destructive organ
isms. 1t is when the system becomes
weakened in a certain way that some
kind of germ gets the upper hand
and a specific disease is the result.
Just so it is with gapes in chick
ems. A strong healthy chick may be.
exposed to the germs or eggs that
give rise to the cape worm in the
and never become infect
ed; or, if it catches the disease. it
will have sufficient vitality to stand |
up against it.
La this way the feeding of the
chicks bears upon the cape question.
It it is strong to start with and is
Kept in healthy and growthy con-
iition, it is not apt to die with gapes.
At least, such seems TO have been
ny experience. and it is, l think.
'ery reasonable.
AS to the cure, the best thing that
know of is the application Of the
umes of carbolic acid. If find that
ONE of the chicks get to gaping in a
yay that looks like fatal results,
atch them and shut them in a box

over apartment place hot bsick

rops of carbolic acid. Do not keep
he box so tight that the chicks will
but let them sneeze and
op around pretty lively, and it will

ir passages cannot survive. 1t may
e mentioned that there is a door to

ween the apartments is not tight,

THE TEACHERS.
Prof. Oliver And His Assistants In
The Whitmire Graded School.

Prof. r. C. Oliver, superintendent.
Mrs. j. r. Dye, first assistant.
Miss Eliza beth Child, second assist
ant.
Prof. r. c. Oliver, the superintend-
ent of the schools, is from Spartan
burg He graduated first from Wof-
ford Fitting school and afterwards
from Wofford College. He taught
l905-O6 near Fayetteville, N. C., as
principal of a graded school and was
reelected to this position, but declined
to accept the supcrintcndency of the
Whitmire graded school. Prof. Oliv-
cr, though still quite a young man, is
enthusiastic in his work and had the
strongest endorsements from his pro-
fessors at Worford College as a STU
dent and a gentleman and was very
highly esteemed as teacher at Fay
cttcvillc. Ic is energetic, pains-tak-
in" and accurate and enthusiastic in
his work. His speciality is English
and the dead languages and in these
he has shown remarkable strength.
Mrs. Dye, The first assistant, taught
last year in the Whitmirc graded
schools and has experience in other
/, schools before coming to Whitmire.
/ During the last session her husband
Prof. j. r. Dye, was superintendent
Of the Whitmire graded schools, and
with his wife, had been reelected for
this year, but decided to 60 into an
other business at Chester, and asked
to be released. The board reluctantly
released Prof. Dye, bit would not
consent. that both of them should go,
and therefore, Mrs. Dye is teaching
again this year. This in itself, is
strong testimony to her worth and
ability as teacher.
Miss Elizabeth Child, the second as
sistant, is a daughter of the Rev. r.
A. Child, D. D., Of Spartanburg, who
is member Of the Methodist confer
ence Of this state. She graduated
from Wesleyan Female College, at
Macon, Ga, and taught one year at
Seneca before coming to Whitmire.
She is young lady Of culture and is
discharging her duties in the Whit
mire school with signal ability.
Whitmire not only has a first class
and up-to-date school building, but
has a faculty of teachers, who will
compare favorably with those Of any
school in the state. u...

the bride path down the spring and
up over the hills and gulIies and
!. tltsa,nngh the pines into graded streets.
Down by the spring twenty years ago
stood an humble log BE-: cabin
occupied by white people. Today it
is replaced by large cotton mill, and:
as souvenir, one old apple tree is
left standing erect and green, which
reminds some of us Of other days
when steam and electricity were un-
known in this section of the county.
But, with all these enterprises and
this progress that have been made in
the last fifteen years where does the
structure rest. answer, the, mudsill
upon which the whole structure rests
is the agricultural interest adjacent
to Whitmire. You cease to cause
mother earth to yield forth her rich
products buried within her generous
bosom; then it is that electricity will
cease to do it's mission; steam will
not be needed; the graded streets will
grow up with grass and weeds.
The farming interests adjacent to
the town of Whitmire are contro1I-

trious and progressive farmers, many
Of whom own their lands and home.
notice a progressive spirit actuating
many of thees farmers. They are
erecting telephone service to their
homes out in the country. so they will
be in immediate touch with each other
and the town of Whitmire.
There will always 1ingcr in my bos-
ON fond rccollcctions associated with
farm life. About six miles from the
old historic Ninety Six public road,
first saw the light Of day upon lands
granted. to some Of my ancestors by
the king of England. These ances-
tors came over from Ireland prior to
the Revolutionary war; I still have a
home upon those lands, which is ac-
cessible to me any day. The bray of
the mule, the moo Of the COW. the
squeal of the pigs, the caclxle of the
hens, the crack of the teamstcr's whip
and the sound Of whoa haw gee will
always echo in,my ears to remind me
Of the days that spent down, on the
farm. ~
