holders of the Salters Social club
who own the Salters town hall, all Of
the officers were reelected for the
ensuing year. In a few days the
hall will be enclosed with a neat
Pittsburg fence.
To the sincere regret Of all the pa
irons and pupils, the teachers of the
Salters school, Misses Arthur and
White, will resign with the clcs-
ing of the school, May IL. They
are the best teachers the school has
had in several years.
Mr. A J Ragin, who has been at a

proved in health.
Mrs John M Salters and children
of,Rock Hill are visiting the, family

DR. CD Rollins went to Atlanta
and very probably elsewhere in
Georgia the latter part of last week.
Hon and Mrs R X Charles came
to town from Timmonsville Tuesday
/ morning.
Rev and Mrs D H Crosland are
getting ready to return to Rio janet
no, Brazil. They will sail from
New York On the goth of May, and
will reach their mission home. early
in June. They have been at home
year on vacation after an absence
of six years. They are very fond of
their work, and while they regret
to leave friends and kindred in this,
their native land, they are not loath
to go back to live and labor in far
away South America, in the cause
which they regard the highest.
Early Monday morning there was
a collision here between the loco
motive of the Wilson Lumber Co and
through freight train. Fortunate
| ly no one was seriously injured.
The engineer of the freight train.
who was hurt worst, was stunned,
but soon recovered and took his
train back to Scranton. The affair
seemed to be brought about by
somebody at Salem. The Wilson
engine got out on the main line OF
the Atlantic coast Line and went
north with no one aboard. Just
above the Lake trestle it met the
freight head-on with the results
above given. The Wilson engine
was pretty badly torn up but kept
the track, and was carried away
about 9 o'clock Monday morning.
How this engine got on the Coast
Line track is not known here.
In the South Carolina Inter-Col-
legiate Oratorical contest at Green
wood last Friday night Mr. Ashton
H Williams, representing the State
University, won second place, being
beaten by only one point. Mr. Will
liams is son of DR. A H Williams,
and is very bright boy of nineteen.
He is now in his second year at the
University, while the winner is a
junior at the Citadel. Previous to
going to "Carolina" he had had no
training whatever in composition
and oratory. These facts being con.
sidered, he must be regarded as hav-
ing succeeded remarkably well, and
we congratulate him.
DR. and Mrs j F Jones of Rich
mond, Virginia, were here last week
visiting relatives.
Miss Lucy Williams of Sumter

WHAT'S SAID and DONE
AMONG LAKE CITY FOLK.
COOPERATIVE GINNING PLANT
A PAINFUL ACCIDENT--MISSION-
ARIES RETURN TO FIELD.

Lake City, May S:-Last Friday,
on the home diamond, Lake City beat
Marion by a score of 5 to l. So far,
Lake City has won every game play
ed this season.
Rev F O S Curtis preached two
sermons at the Baptist church last
Sunday. Rev and Mrs Curtis are
here on visit to their daughter, Mrs
H S Blizzard.
Mr. D / johnson was in Kingstree
Saturday on business.
Mr. R F Rodgers went to Florence
Monday to look after little matter
of business.
The Farmers Union Ginning and
Manufacturing Company was organ
lied regularly last Wednesday. Ev-
cry dollar of the authorized capital
was taken in short order, and there
were requests for more stock. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that
the capital stock must be increased.
This will probably be done at an
: early day. The following were
elected directors for one year: W b
Matthews, j D Daniel, c E Tomlin-
son, EA Cook, B G Timmons, A A
Young and ] Ed Goodwin. The Off
GERS chosen are: President,C E Tom
linson; vice-president, j D Daniel;
secretary. E A Cook; treasurer, W L
Matthews. The formal transfer of
the lot, buildings, machinery and
property on Thomas street, formerly
known as the Rodgers Mill, was
made and the new company took
possession. Steps will be taken at
once to put things in shape to begin
business at an early date. Of course
efforts are being made to discourage
the farmers in their venture, and no
doubt hindrances to their success
will be actively interposed.
Mr. w B King had the misfortune
to get his foot broken Monday. He
was up in the hay loft of Mr. j Il
Stuckey's stable, moving about on
the hay when he either crushed a
hole through the floor or stepped
into a hole previously made. The
result was that the foot, about mid
way between the ankle and the toes.
was broken. Medical attention was
Immediately secured, and Mr. King,
though suffering from the pain of
such q wound, is going about on
crutches.
The graded school will close Fri
day for the term. There will be no
exercises of any kind. Lowering the
sash and locking the doors will be
the only ceremony. And this cere-
mony is enough.

The Salters school will close on
May IL with an entertainment in the
town hall, to which every one is
cordially invited.
Both of our R F D carriers are
making their deliveries on their mo-
torcycles. This is much better SER
vice than formerly,as they generally
make their rounds in about three
hours.
1t is very dry in this section; very
little cotton is up and the farmers
are looking gloomy, as the prospect
for rain is not good. What cotton
is up is dying out.

Many Acres Reclaimed.

In an article in Science, on the
reclamation of the arid west, Dr. F. H.
Newell, to whom the success of the
reclamation service is in large meas.
ure due, states that over a million
acres have been reclaimed and $4,000
families are receiving water from
works built or controlled by the gov,
ernment under the terms Of the re-
clamation act. Reservoirs have been
built having a capacity of nearly 5,000,-
900 acre-feet; that is to say, the water
would cover 100000 acres to depth
of one foot Canals of large size, car
rying over 500 cubic feet a second,
have been built for total length OF
800 miles, and somewhat smaller can,
ais constructed with a length of a
thousand miles, including the bitches.

POULTRY NOTES.

The commercial chick feeds are, as
rule, very good.
Pure air is one of the essentials OF
profitable poultry raising.
Charcoal is not a substitute for oys-
ter shell, and vice versa.
Where beef scraps are fed green
bone is not strictly necessary.
Bright red combs and wattles are
generally a sign Of good condition.
Be sure that the roosting quarters
are well ventilated at this time of the
year.
Leghorn pullets hatched in April
should begin to lay about September
or October.
You cannot make poultry house
comfortable in warm weather if the
windows are left in.
When the eggs are not needed for
breeding purposes any number of
hens can be placed in the pen with
one male.
The clots of blood that are found
occasionally in eggs are due to the
hen rupturing a minute blood vessel
while laying.
A very good chick food is made of
equal parts by weight of corn, hulled
oats and wheat, cracked to pin-head
size and mixed thoroughly.
Good, pure food, properly balanced,
will impart a sweet, good flavor to
all eggs, while such articles as onions,
fish, ETC., will give a rank taste.
1t is best to have litter on the floor
of the poultry house or scratching
shed the year round, so that the
fowls will be kept busy during the
entire year.
Incubators can be run at any or
all seasons of the year, provided they
are in a cellar or building that will
not cause too great variations in tenn
perature
Give the fowls the comfort of an
openfront house with an abundance
of fresh air and freedom from the
sitting heat of closed sleeping quar-
ters in summer.

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTs

Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. l was
greatly disf1gured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as If they had
been most cut off with a razor and
my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered
untold agony and pain. | tried two
doctors who said / had eczema In its
fullest stage, and that 1t could not
be cured. / then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, 1 tried set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore l cannot
praise them too highly.
II suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and l believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is" (Signed)
Miss Matte ]. Shaffer R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy, Miss, Oct. 27, 1910.
IT had suffered from eczema about
four years when boils began to break
out on different PARTS of my body. 1t
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when 1t also
spread over my face. The itching was
almost unbearable at times. l tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until l began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One box of them cured me entirely.
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
eczema, and they completely cured her
baby" (Signed) Mrs. f. l.. MarDer-
ger, Drehersville, Pa, Sept. 6, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cud-
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

EQUAL WETTING IN ORCHARD
One OF Main Points in Maintaining
Even Saturation Is the Grade OF
the Burrows.

One of the main points in main.
tanning the even saturation of an or.
chard is the grade of the burrows
Thls is point to which too little at.
tentlon is given, resulting in uneven
and imperfect wetting, writes Eugene
u. Smith in the Denver Field and
Farm. Many orchards are planted
with more reference to boundary lines
than to slope and grade. On account
OF Slight inequalities of the surface on
land that is nearly level, we for some
years had great difficulty in getting
an even wetting on one of our or
cnards. After considerable study
concluded that instead of trying tc
run the burrows at right angles to the
main drainage channel of the land,
they should run at an angle of about
torty-t1ve degrees, more or less, as
that is the way most of the gulches
and gullies emptying into it ran.
A closer study showed that the gen.
tie sWales and swells in the level
bluff surface ran about the same way.
we, therefore, ran our burrows wits
the rows diagonally across the or
chard, with the result that the water
freely followed every furrow to the
end. On another orchard, which was
on quite steep slope, the great diff
hculty was that when the burrows
were run with the slope the water
flowed too fast, cutting gullies and
thus failing to soak sufficiently. When
we tried to furrow it at right angles
to the slope there was not enough
grade to carry 1t over the Inequalities
OF the surface. In this case we also
found it a great improvement to fur
row it cornerwise, thus getting a more
satisfactory grade.
In planting cherry orchard above
ditch on quite a steep slope some
years ago we laid off each row with
a level or straight edge, winding them
In and out of the depressions to keep
an even grade. Then, by plowing and
disking always towards the rows, we
soon had a terrace-like surface, from
which no water flowed off in the har.
vest showers. This gave me an idea
and when my neighbor started to lay
off new orchard under ditch on
quite steep slope, I asked him why he
did not strike 1t out in the same way.
He replied that he did not see how
he could lay it off both ways with
such crooked rows.
After figuring on it little we dem
onstrated 1t to our satisfaction that
it was perfectly feasible to make the
rows as crooked as possible one way
and straight the other. He decided
to plant that way and has had no diff.
ficulty in working both ways with a
disk harrow. The main point to be
observed in working an orchard laid
off in this way is to use a reversible
disk, so that in working up and down
the hill the soil may be thrown first
in, then out, thus avoiding ridging
and furrowing up and down hill. The
soil should, for few years at least,
always be thrown towards the trees
when running the other way, thus
producing a terrace-like surface which
will facilitate irrigation.

Humus Holds the Moisture.

Humus in the orchard is Of value
in holding moisture in dry times and
in preventing sudden freezing and
thawing. All berries demand constant
moisture during the fruiting sea-
son, hence the winter mulch should
be allowed to remain on the ground
through the summer for obtaining soil
moisture.

Irritation Increases Yield.

Western Kansas last year raised
the biggest sugar beet crop in its his
tory. This is due to the fact that
large area of irrigated lands we're
put under cultivation for the first
time.
