happy occasion to him. He said to-
night memory had carried him back
many Years, and he had thought if
it was possible to look down from
the other world, the first Confeder-
ate volunteer from Newberry would
have looked down tonight upon his
niece, Miss Laura Blease, and pray
ed God to bless her for the noble
jtraining which she had given the
children under her charge, and, above
all. to bless the sweet land of Dixie,
Of which they had sung. And if an
other could have looked down, he
who had stood as one Of the promo
ters of that monument to the indus
trial development of the South,
would have said, II thank Thee, 0
God, that I was the founder and the
first president of the Newberry Cot
ton Mills.' President Wright was
his worthy successor and was carry
ing out the work which he would have
carried on had he lived. Mr.. Blease's
theme was "Opportunity.'' and he
told the boys and girls of the mill of
the opportunities which life had in
store for men and women, and urged
them to prepare themselves not only
to take advantage Of opportunities
when they were presented, but to
make opportunities for themselves.
He cited a number Of examples Of IL
lustrious men to inspire them. "Make
for yourselves your opportunity he
urged. He hoped the park would be
joy to the people of the Newberry
Cotton mills, and that within its
bounds there would never be single
thing to desecrate it. The mill in
building it, he said, had set an ex-
ample which could we'll be followed

and by President Summer, Of the
Mollohon mill.
The exercises were closed with an
other song by the young ladies, which
was equally as enjoyable as the first.

were rendered by Miss --.
Following the exercises an ice

Little Matters That Are Worth Keep
ing in Remembrance.

In joining the edges of lace or en-
broidery the neatest finish is made by
buttonholing the edges in as tiny a
seam as possible.
Thread will knot less easily If the
end that is broken from the spool is
run through the eye of the needle.
Instead of laboriously rolling lace,
try putting the finest hemmer on the
machine and hem and hold the lace on
top as loosely as you can at the same
time. The work is quickly done, and
If fine thread and needle and a small
stitch are used looks almost as well
and wears better than when sewed by
hand
In cutting material away under lace
insertion there is less danger of snip
ping the threads of the lace If stiff
piece of pasteboard is cut wide enough
to slip along between the lace and the
material This works better If one end
Is rounded.
Wash flannel and linen for blouses
should always be shrunk before being
cut. They may not look quite so we'll
the first time of wearing, but they look
much better thereafter.

London's Erudlte cabmen.

The two cabmen authors who had
Just been brought to light deserve a
place beside the erudite driver dis.
covered by Sir Frederick Bridge. This
cabman often drove Sir Frederick
home from the Albert hall after the
performances of the Royal Choral So
ciety, and one evening as he received
his fare he astonished the eminent
conductor by criticising the tempo
at which he took some of the Mes
siah" choruses on previous occasion.
This started a friendship between the
musician and the cabman, and the
former discovered in the latter very
solid foundation of musical knowl-
edge and got to think highly of his
opinions. On one occasion, indeed,
the cabman asked him to perform a
new oratoIo by Perosi (Which Sir
Frederick had not then seem and Of

Work and Nerves.

Work again, is the enemy of insom-
mia. The sufferer from bad or broken
sleep is liable to give up duties or to
be slack in their performance, to aban-
don exercise and forget his usual hob
bies because of his anticipation of a
night of distress. In reality, he ought
to prepare himself for sleep by con-
genial activity, in which his mind will
be weaned away from the fear of not
sleeping
Once more, work is an enemy to the
fears and impulsions, to the strange
sense of unreality and other morbid
symptoms which accompany psychas-

Why Streams Are Disappearing.

Anyone who has reached the age Of
rs has noticed the disappearance of
the small brooks where he played In
his district school days, while larger
ones have shrunk to summer threads,
and rivers that filled their banks all
the year are hardly more than rivu-
let's in summer Commissioner Whip
pie of New York state tells up that the
upper Hudson, In August of 1907, had
no more than two inches of water
where it used to roll heavy volume.
There is substantial agreement that
this change has been due to the denu-
dalton of our hills and valleys of the
water-holding trees. 1t takes a cen
fury to grow such forests as we found
covering the continent; it has taken
half a century to destroy them.-The

Too Much Cotton Acreage.

For the past two years the Depart
ment of Agriculture has shown that
the acreage OF cotton was far over
31,000,000 acres, and the crop last
year was 11,56O,0OO bales, or some
thing over one third of bale per acre.
And yet, says Prof, w, F. Massey,
there were farmers all over the South
who made bale per acre, and here
and there one who made bale and
half to two bales. What great
number there must be, then, who are
making less than third of a bale
per acre to bring the average down!
What an awful amount of human la
Dor wasted to produce only 11,560,0OO
bales on over 31,000,000 acres, when
if every farmer in the South really
farmed, the crop could have been
made on 100000 acres and the near
ly 20,000,000 that were scratched over
in cotton could have been growing
forage for stock, corn, wheat and
grass That is what acreage reduc-
ton means. 1t means better prepare
ton of the soil, crop rotation for the
development of the productive capac-
ity of the soil.

Sets Law of Kitchen.

A Flaw of the kitchen" has been set
forth in England In an opinion by a
county judge. He holds that where
the mistress of house goes to the
kitchen to aid the maid of all work
the two are brought on terms of equal
ity such as would not be tolerated in
larger establishments. The case was
that of a cook and general maid who
sought to recover months wages
from her former mistress in lieu Of
notice. The mistress asserted that the
servant always answered her back"
but the Judge held that under the cir
cumstances this was not sufficient to
justify dismissal.

FARMER AND
PLANTER

It has not been generally under
stood that sows can be wintered on
but latest Investigations OF
practical men and experiment stations
seem to prove that the mature sow is
much more capable of consuming
roughages than has been known in
times past. 1t has been found that
sows may be wintered on nearly a
complete roughage ration. The di-
gestive organs of the mature SOW are
fully developed and are more adapted
for the digestion of larger quantities
or roughage than is the young grow
ing pig and the rations be cheapened
thereby.

Care of Sheep.

Although sheep have sufficient vital
ity to make their raising very profit
able, reasonable intelligence and fore
thought must be used in guarding
them against disease. But sheep must
be guarded against disease more close
ly than any other animal, and in or
der to keep sheep free from parasitic
diseases, 1t is often necessary to re-
sort to preventive medicines. When
used, however, they should be used
with a definite object in view and
with system and regularity.
BY way of general care of sheep,
they need we'll ventilated or open shed
shelter in falling weather. They do
not need shelter in dry weather, no
matter how cold. They should never
be crowded into and shut up in a
close barn They ought to have run
ming water. That from a well or cist-
ern in clean tank is very good. Pond
water is Objectionable, especially when
any disease is present. The pasture
ought to be rolling, or at least well
drained. It ought to be divided into
three parts and each part used ten
days in rotation.
AS to the use of remedies, whenever
there is any sign or scab or sheep
ticks in the flock, all the sheep and
lambs ought to be dipped twice at in
tervals of ten days in some reliable
sheep dip. From the time there is any
indication of annoyance by the bot fly,
their noses ought to be kept smeared
with tar until after light frosts. Sheep
ought to have course of treatment
through the winter to rid them of in
ternal parasites.
This is especially true when there
is any indication that any of these
parasites are present. 1t is probably
advisable for every sheep man to give
his flock during the winter and spring
course of finely powdered tobacco
or the blue stone copperas salt mix
ture. OF the tobacco he should use
about 20 pounds for each 100 sheep,
and begin giving it in small amounts
at first with the feed late in the fall
and continue until after lambing IS
over. The blue stone copperas salt
mixture, advised for the prevention
of stomach worms, may be used in
stead of tobacco. 1t can be kept be-
fore the sheep. allowing them what
they will eat These directions inya-
riably protect the sheep owner from
the common losses and render it I'M
necessary for him to make a detailed
study of the different parasites.-B. F.

Typewrlters in 1714.

The idea of mechanical letter-writ-
ing seems to have first occurred to an
Englishman, for the earliest record of
a patent for such device is of one
granted by the English government
to Henry Mill in TIA The first type
writer invented in the United States
called the ''typographer," was patented
in 1929 by william Austin Baft Of
Detroit, Mich, also the inventor of the
solar compass The machine was
primitive affair, and could be man'pu-
lated only slowly. No practical results
were accomplished by the Burr ma
chine, and today it is kncwa merely
as a starting point Of gieat Ame,i-

In order that there may be no escap-
ing the impulse to remain on the farm
and stay away from the consuming
city, the rural graded schools of Kan
sas have begun teaching agriculture.
The idea is that scientific agronomy
taught only in the colleges fails to
reach 20 to so per cent of the country
children. More than that the Kansas
agricultural board says the young men
and women who attend the agricul-
tural college are usually of the well to
do families, whereas the supreme test
of education ought to be making a
success of the men who started un-
der a handicap.

Make the straw stacks of some
value. Use for feed al of the best
that is needed. and use all of the rest
for bedding or get it tramped into
or mixed with animal manure. 1t will
help to save and increase the value
of the manure and will more readily
decompose in contact with the mois-
