age-to the Barbadoes-and that he
enlisted in the Seven Years war.
He spent his twenty-second birthday
amid warlike scenes at Fort Duquesne,
now Pittsburg, where he commanded
regiment against the French On
the eve of that birthday Washington
gave bountiful supper to all the men
of his regiment, and gave good-sized
sum Of money to one of the men to
be sent home to the wife and little
ones whom the soldier had left in al
most destitute circumstances.
There are many lapses of the rec
ords of Washingtons birthdays and
how he spent them, but in 1855 he
writes to a friend: II am growing
old apace, Alfred Che was only %
them and today l turn another year
So far | have been true to my resolu-
ton, made when l was 13, and | want
you to help me to keep it unbroken
this year VIII you be so kind as to
give the inclosure to Welmont Hardy
of your village with my kindest re-
membrances?"
There is no record of what the 'in-
closure was, but we are led to believe
that it brought comfort to both the
sender and recipient.
On January 6, 1859, at the age of
q. Washington married Martha Gus
tis, and for the time being all the aus
terity Of the young patriot was sunk
in the tenderness Of the lover. He
marked his birthday that year by dis
tributing gifts lavishly among his
slaves and by ordering that certain
poor widow near the Washington es-
tate should be served with two quarts
of milk and three eggs daily, free of
charge, as long as she lived, the bill,
of course, to be met by Washington.
For time after his marriage, Wash
ington withdrew from public life and
set about cultivatlng his acres. It
was on the 22d of February, not many
years after he had turned benedict,
that he and Mrs. Washington were
sleighing and making unusually merry
in honor of the day. AS the hour near
ed noon, both George and Martha dis
covered that they were "monstrous
hungry" and that they were miles
away from inn or tavern. Pulling up
In front of q little cottage, George
made bold to ask the little lady who
appeared at the door In answer to his
rapping, for bite and sup" to stay
their pangs.
The stranger proved hospitable, and
after showing them the way to tiny
barn, where there was feed for the
horse, she spread the cloth in the
kitchen and invited her guests TO par.
take OF her simple fare.

To ARRANGE Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage
Put your flowers In very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still, a soft har
nony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show of the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable tc
eyen the most elaborate Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or. according to the flowers arranged
in them.

Winter Work for Teams.

After the fall crops have been sold
or housed. the teams should not be
allowed to stand idle II manure is
available at reasonable prices. The
greatest need of nearly all soils Is
vegetable matter and 1t is often i'm
portant to haul manure for this pur-
pose only. although the supply of
plant food is often worth more than
the cost of manure. A very common
plan is to spread the manure in the
folds as fast as 1t is hauled. while
many gardeners prefer TO place IL In
piles until the ground is dry enough
In the spring. II is seldom spread
before the ground is dry enough be-
cause II serves as a mulch and de-
lays plowing.

pounds Of butter fat, and 11.66 pounds
of butter.
The Royal Academy at Poppelsdorf,
Germany, made a selection of ten
Swiss cows for q test in the years
1900 and 1901. The results were very
satisfactory.
An average herd of cows in milking
condition would weigh 1900 to 1,400
pounds apiece. They tend to take on
fat readily when dry and give it off
slowly when in milk. The average
herd of cows when fatted would
weigh 1900 pounds or more. Bulls in
good condition would weigh from L.
700 up to $500 pounds. The Swiss
calf at a month old will weigh $50 to
200 pounds, and at two years 1900
pounds.
1t is a general characteristic of the
Brown Swiss cows to show a high
degree of efficiency in converting feed
into milk or into flesh, and a pro-
nounced characteristic that they are
not of a nervous disposition or habit
It is not necessary to keep strangers
out of the barn or to avoid talking at,

MARRIAGE A QUIET One
AT HOME OF PASTOR
Miss ChappGIl the Bride Of
James |. GIaWSOR

The marriage yesterday of Miss
Georgia Lou Chappell and Mr.. James
l.. GlawsOn was an occasion of inter
est for their friends, among whom
the happy event had long been antioi-
pated with no small degree of pleas
ure, and many are the congratula-
tions extended already, or else held
in reserve
The nuptial knot was tied in the
parlors at the home of Rev. r. L.
Bivins, of Furlow Lawn Baptist
church, and witnessed by a number
of friends thus assembled there at
4:30 o'clock.
Soon after the wedding ceremony,
Mr.. and Mrs. Glawson drove to their
pretty country residence six miles
south of the city where they are now
at home" to all their friends who
will extend the happy pair the SINGER
est good wishes.
The bride is the daughter of MI.
and Mrs. John Chappell, of Sumter
and a young lady of many personal
charms and accomplishments. Mr..
Glawson is the genial superintendent

WILL INVESTIGATE
BOIL WEEVIL PEST
Local Man Has Gone to Mis-.
sissippi Cotton Fields

Farmers of this section should con-
graduate themselves on the fact that
they will soon have an opportunity
to gain practical knowledge of the
boil weevil and its habits from a
representative of the Third District
resentative of the Agricultural College
who has already gone to the heart
of the boil weevil section in Mississ-
ippi to study the weevil in its native
habitat
Mr.. G. V. Cunningham is the rep
resentative of the Agriculture College
who has been sent to the field of the
depredations of this pest of the cot
ton plant 1t is the plan of Mr.. Gun
ningham to study the boil weevil as
carefully and thoroughly as the limit
ed time allotted him for that pupose
will permit. He is expected to re-
turn before August %, which is the
day for the holding of the Farmers
Institute and Picnic in this county,
before which assembly he will de-
liver an address on the investigation
made.
This is a most opportune time for
study of the boil weevil and its hab-
it's las it is now beginning to get in
it's deadly work with the cotton crop.
For this reason the time spent in
Mississippi by Mr. Cunningham at
this time will be equal to a much
longer time under less favorable cir
cumstances, and his study will be
correspondence valuable and practi-
cal for the farmers of this section,
who will soon be called upon to face
the ravages of this arch foe of the
cotton plant.

Com. HUDSON At WORK
ON BOOKS OF OFFICE
Full Report viii Be Ready By
Sept. 10

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 15.-The investi-
CATION of the department of agricul-
ture will not begin during the present
session of the, legislature. Commits
sioner Tom Hudson has notified the
Joint committee appointed under the
Ault resolution to investigate his de-
partment that detailed report of the
condition of,ethe department will not
be available until September 10.
Commissioner Hudson's information
came to Senator Bush Monday morn
ing in the shape of letter from the
commissioner in reply TO a recent res
olution from the committee asking for
the report to be used as a basis of
the resolution.
Report Will be Completed
He sets forth in his letter the rea-
sons for his not being able to make
the report before that time. The com
mittee had requested a complete re-
port from August LIST, 1895, to June
Goth, 1911, containing a detailed state
ment of all receipts and disburse-
ments, all appointments, list Of en-
ployes and their salaries.
He says in part:
1--WE have handled in this office
since | came in several hundred thou
sand dollars all in small amounts.
This being true, it necessitates a
great deal of copying, 1t is not a
question of having everything on the
books, but it is a question of making
a copy of the books, which requires
a great deal of time.
Hudson Goes in Detail.
"After looking over the situation l
find that it is practically impossible
for my office force to get this report
ready before the 10th of September.
I have in my office the books and
vouchers which contain the original

mittee and have them gone through
