tions this year, has the following:

CROSS HILL NEWS LETTER.
Child Bitten by Mad Dog. Other News
Notes aud Personal Items.

Cross Hill, S. c., May II. Last Tues
day dog owned by Mr.. Carol Nance
attacked his thcee-year- little boy
and bit its hand very badly. 1t also
tried to bite a negro and a mule. The
dog was promptly killed. Mr.. Nance
took his child to Mountville and had the
mad stone applied and it adhered to
the wound, indicating that the dog was
mad. Mr.. Nance took the first train
to Atlanta to have the child treated at
the Pastcur Institute. 1t is hoped that
any bad results may be avoided. Mr.
Nance took the head of the dog and
after it was examined it was the opin-
ion of experts that the dog had hydro
phobia. And yet people in this town
keep dogs about their homes as if they
thought there was no danger. Mirabile
dictu!
The entertainment by the school Fri
day evening was quite a success. The
young people and children acquitted
themselves crcditably and the large
congregation present enjoyed the eXer-
cises very much. All the teachers have
been reelected except Miss Martin.
She did not offer her health would not
permit Miss West, Of Newberry, and
Miss Griffin, of Clinton, were elected
teachers for the primary department
which makes one additional teacher.
Mrs. Mary Bradley and little son, of
Jackson, Ga.,, are visiting her mother,
Mrs. N. E. Boyce.
The social event of the week was a
Swastika party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
N. b. Davenport in honor of Misses
Addison and Barre. About thirty guests
were present. Delicious refreshments
were served during the evening. Sou
venirs of the evening were cards in the
Swastika design.
Memorial Day was observed last Sat-
urday afternoon. Mr.. r. T. HoQins-
worth was Master of Ceremonies and
Mr.. M. T. Simpson read the roll. Each
grave was marked with Il little Confed-
crate flag and decorated with beautiful
flowers.
Mrs. N. l. Williams was called to
Walhalla Saturday on account of the
death of her sister, Mrs. j j. Norton.
Mrs. Norton's girldhood was spent at
Cross Hill, she being the daughter of
the late DR.. r. E. Campbell. Her
many friends here will be sorry to hear
of her death.
Miss Lulie Leaman is quite i'll. She
does not improve as her friends would
wish.
DR.. j. d. Austin, of Clinton, was in
town professionally last Friday.

the speech of presentation. His speech
was gracefully worded and exceedingly
appropriate to the occasion. He said
that it was from the hands OF the
queens who bestowed them that badges
Of honor were most valued, and asked
that the daughters themselves make
the presentation. He then called for
ward Misses Mary Hunter Little, Elene
McCaslan and Lydia Henry, and asked
them to deliver crosses to DR.. Frank
Davis, Mr.. A. NJ Copeland and Mr.. II.
q. Adams. Mr.. Adams made a very
clever speech of acknowledgement.
The usual roll calls and resolutions
ended the program of the day.

was he. When on Gettysburg s cnsan-
guishcd plain charge after charge was
unsupported, and ended in disaster,
there was not man dismaycd, even
though the soldier knew some one had
blundered
Theirs not to make reply, theirs not to
reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
But what concern is all this to us Of
a new generation? Even though our
fathers were good soldiers and true vet
finally yielded in defeat, why not let us
encourage the forgetting of such dire
calamity? Such a base suggestion
might best be rcpudatcd with silent
contempt. But let us say this much:
Though that struggle did end in sad
defeat for the South, though well nigh
a million husbands, fathers, brothers
and sons found the courtcd privilege Of
death for their country, though billions
OF long boarded wealth went up in
smoke, though the wall of the widow
and orphan mingled in mournful chorus
with the consuming flames as they
licked out Of existence thousands Of
once happy homes, yet from out Of and
above the din Of this maestrom of
death there rises a crown of glory in
etlabIe that rests upon the brow of
every dying hero in gray and upon
every worthy son Of such a sire.
Though there be tears for grief of the
father, for a mothers anguish tears;
but for him who died for his country,
glory through the endless years. -"

In regard to the cultivation of
grapes, the Beeville district and
the valley of the Rio Grande is,
so far as known, the only part
of the republic east of California
where the finest European
grapes attain the greatest per-
lection. AS they ripen here from
four to six weeks earlier than in
California, the viticulturist of
this coast have the run of the
larger territory, and by many
has been found to be more pro-
fitable than the strawberry.
Strawberry picking and shipping
begins about the middle or latter
part of JaJnuary, and not later
than February Is, and the early
berries often bring 81 per quart
in the northern markets. The
shipping season lasts about three
months. One man reported that
he had gathered 1000 quarts of
ripe berries from one acre in
one day. Another who said he
was only an amateur in gather
ing, reported that he made $500
per acre profit on Strawberries
last season. On one acre of land
crop of celery was raised and
was tended only by the owner,
which sold for $1,000. The eel
cry grown here is ready for mar
ket about the time the northern
crop is exhausted.
If you are interested in such
lands as these, G. w. Hail, OF
Houston, will be glad to furnish
you further information. Write
to him for illustrated booklet
about Beeville lands.

What You Can Grow on a
Ten Acre Farm in
Bee County.

Owing to the natural condi-
tions, location and variety of soil
in Bee Coprty, it Is. s2llay E..ii 1T the

extensive, and Of such character
as to make it adapted to the de-
mands of the farmer, no matter
from what portion of the Unit
ed States he may come.
Practically every crop grown
and harvested in the various
states of the Union, with the
exception of wheat, barley and
rye, may be successfully culti-
waited, and with profit, in Bee
county. So harmonious are the
conditions that as many as five
of the worlds prime products
may be raised to a complete
fruition in the same field. Cot
ton, corn sugar cane and oats
produce abundantly, and the
splendid fertility of the soil is
taxed but little in the process.
Long summers of growing
weather, mild winters and a gen
ial sky permit the practice OF
months of the year.
husbandry for nearly twelve
months of the year. There is
scarce a day that work may not
be carried on in the field. Aside
from the conditions which en-
viron the cultivation of prime
crops, and here the agriculturist
may make his choice as to the
variety, the opportunities for the
raising and shipping of early
fruits a ndvegetables are inf
mite. The southern latitude and
comparative freedom from frosts
of Bee county enables the grow
ers to cultivate the tender varie-
ties of vegetables and ship to
more northern markets long be-
fore seed has begun to germin-
ate in the vicinity of st. Louis,
Chicago, St. Paul, or any of the
other cities of the Middle West.
The development of this in
dustry has been steadily aug
mented during the past few
years until shipments are now

shinplaster penny to have the
road of existence perfectly level,
for l should soon become tired
of a dull sameness of prospect,
and make myself miserable in the
idea that l must experience no
material change, either for bet
ter or for worse. Plum pudding
is most excellent stuff to wind
off a dinner with, but all plum
pudding would be worse than
nothing at all. So you see, the
troubles and trials of life are
absolutely necessary to enable
us to judge rightly of genuine
happiness, whenever it happens
to enliven the saturnine region
of the heart with it's presence.
If we never were to have our
jackets and shirts wet with the
cold rain of misfortune, we could
never know how good it feels to
stand out and warm in the warm
rays of comfort. You need not
hesitate ever to travel through
swamps of trouble igor fear of
sinking overhead in the mud of
dependency, for despair is new
er quite despair. No, my friends,
it never comes quit up to the
mark in the most desperate cases.

His sun of ambition may be
darkened, his moon of memory
turned to blood and the star of
his peace blotted from the firma-
ment OF his prospects; but he is
not entirely a gone goose even
in this situation. Those semi

The Creole and White JUNE
onions are as successfully grown
in Bee county as around New

just when northern onions are
sprouting, and the demand is I'M

an acre, net, is considered an
average profit, but much larger
sums have been made when
greater care and cultivation has
been given the crop.
