The Az Of Buttsrmakins.

Good buttermaking Is fine art
that many farmers have not learned.
There Is no reason that butter made
on the farm should not bring better
prices in competition With creamery
butter. Country butter, when improp-
srly made and poorly handled. must be
left with the grocery and take its
chance with Il crowded market. Good,
clean. firm. highly favored butter al
ways finds ready sale at good
price. Thousands of dollars are lost
every year in poor butter.

Andrews, January 23:-It would
e All astonishing sight to some to
/ see mt this time what is known as
the Harpers old cross roads"
There is now solid farm for nearly
three miles in every direction.
suppose there are several thousand
acres in this farm. which is about
four miles long, bounded by the
main Gapway road. Besides, this
clearing has an up-to-date wire fence
around it, also many large canals
running through this land into john
son swamp. The writer took drive
last Sunday afternoon through this
immense farm and got lost; t;thesemar
velous improvements have changed
things 80 that one living here for 20
years would lose his bearings. l am
sure the former owner of this place,
Mr. Edwin Harper, would be lost at
his old home. Those energetic pio-
neers, Messrs w H Andrews; John
White and Norman Cooke, are doing
a great work to develop this COM
I munity. May they liye long and reap
the fruits of their industry and en-
terprise.
A meeting of citizens Of Andrews
was held in the town hall last Friday
night to discuss pro and con the es-
tablishment Of q dispensary in this
little town. There was some strong
argument against the establishing
Of this evil. II the readers Of The
Record remember, just three years
ago the people Of this end Of town
asked for . dispensary at what st
that time was known rs Harpers.
The promoters Of the dispensary
new were the very ones who fought
it then, as they said, from . business
and moral standpoint At that time
it was said that . dispensazy here
would ruin the business Of F Rhen
4 Sons and the business Of the A G
L Corporation. Now.what have be-
come Of the morals and the finances
Eof F Rhem 4 Sous and the AC L
Corporation? fwant it thoroughly
understood that the writer Is not q.
iteea1taler. but il our town has lived
and prospered heretofore without
the sale Of rum; we don't need it
now. We have a town Of five or six
churches Of several denominations;
we have one of the finest schools in
the State; we have several public
halls and prosperous fraternal or
ders here and not a dollar OF
| whisky money is invested in them.
Shall our dear children be called on
to stand in this school and overlook
the sale of rum and see drunkenness
daily? Our people will not stand for
Fit. We see the handwriting on the
wall: God in His wisdom will not al
low it to come. He works in mys-
terious way to check the work Of the
devil and his plans. Don't build
your town with the morals of your
sons and make idiots out of our ris-
ing generation. Besides, the George
town board said Williamsburg was
putting in dispensary at Harpers
to gain trade from Georgetown
county. Now, what is Georgetown
doing??' Again, the Georgetown
board of control said they would
never grant dispensary in the
county outside Of the one that is now
at the county seat. Over fifty peo-
pie heard this expression from their
lips. Now, it is up to this board to
stick to this or tell a clear-cut false
hood. Can they deny this

New York Kind Do Not Like to Get
Wet, and Carry Rain Shields.
A Tarrytown, N. Y, dispatch says:
Automobiles who drove down the
Gorybrook road report that as they
passed William Rockefeller's place
they saw two gray squirrels crossing
the road with umbrellas over their
heads as a protection against the
rain.
Scoffers investigated and found
that the squirrels were improvising
cabbage leaves as rain shields.
When one found a leaf large
enough to cover it's body it would
bite hole in it, put it's tail through
and travel back and forth in perfect
security from the enveloping damp
ness.
Squirrels don't like to get wet, but
neither do they cater to the pangs
of hunger.
From their squirrelships' viewpoint
invention was descended from neces-
sity by both parents.

to farmers. The poison shortage
would indeed make it a grave prob
lem for this state. Reports received
by Mr.. Worsham indicate the pres
ence of the worms in some counties
in the western part of the state.
1t is also fact that the work of
the cotton worm will mean a wider
zone covered by the boil weevil. Rec
ords show that the average yearly
speed of travel to new territory of
the boil weevil is about 65 miles.
But if the plants are denuded by the
cotton worm the weevil will spread
over a wider area seeking new food
supply.
So the cotton worm in Alabama
makes the boil weeviI a nearer and

gia.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP

mind, cool judgment, expert seaman
ship and skill. Let these qualities
fail the master mariner in his time
of need and no matter what might
have been the stress of body or brain,
or of both, his professional career is
at an end if the lapse involves disas-
ter to his ship.
There is that veteran mariner
Captain Frederick Watkins. He it
was who commanded the City of Par
is when the old Inman liner came
staggering to port with the Atlantic
waves smashing about her hold and
surging against her bulkheads, the
result of a fog shrouded impact with
an iceberg. The liner was thronged
with passengers. The unforeseen
danger came near to sending her and
her thousand souls to the bottom
but the energy, resourcefulness and
skill of her commander brought her
safe to port-a deed to be long re-
membered.
1t was remembered up to a few
/ years ago, when a slight miscalcula-
ton on the part of Captain Watkins
| sent his vessel upon the Manacle
rocks, on the Cornish coast. Now
you may search all of the obscure
places of the earth and you may not
locate him.
There was the Prinzessin Victoria
Luise of the Hamburg-Amerioan line,
which drove hard upon the coral
beach at Port Royal, in the island of
Jamaica. The vessel was thronged
with tourists making a jaunt to the
West hides. Fortunately the sea was
calm, and there was no difficulty in
I getting passengers ashore. When
the last had been safely landed the
captain went to his stateroom and
put bullet through his brain.
The pitiable part of it all was that
he had no need to. 1t was not the
brain he shattered that was at fault,
but the Kingston earthquake, which
had destroyed the light house.
Captain Griffith of the Mohegan
stood on the bridge of his fast sink
ing ship until the waters enguIfed
him. Deloncle of the French liner
Bourgogne, sunk in the mid-AtlantiC
by collision with the British steam
ship Cromartyshire, was last seen on

Won Gessel Of the Elbe went down
with his ship standing with folded
arms upon the bridge as the vesse,
slowly sank.
One Of the saddest tragedies Of
the sea was the wreck of the British
steamship Waiearapa, which went
ashore on Great Barrier Island while
on voyage from Sydney to New Zea.
land. As the vessel neared the en-.
trance to the harbor Of Auckland a
thick fog shut in. Capt. Mcintosh
who commanded her, had been many
years in the service of the line and
was reputed to be very careful and
capable, but while the steamer was
cropping her way through the mist Il
was noted that he was exceeding
nervous and depressed.
When night came the fog was SC
thick that the lookouts could not see
! half a ships length ahead. A few
