AN INSPIRATION YEARS AGO.

that it may tighten the burden Of de-
clining years?
But my object in writing this is
to relate an incident i'm my life in
connection with Col. Thompson.
was present at school exhibition
given by the late Rev. G.. II. Spearcs
at old Clearmont Academy. Col.
Thompson was there to make n
speech. He was quite young man
then. | received an inspiration from
him then that has never been cffaced
from my memory during all the
checkered scenes Of my long life. He
directed his remarks mainly to the
children and pupils Of the school.
The burden Of his discourse was
perseverance. He said "thc race
was not always to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong" but persever-
ancc always had its reward.

friends are scattering bouquets in
his pathway as his feet are pressing

where we hope many stars will be

General Utility Fowls.

| am glad the editors of this de-
partment brought up this subject.
because | believe there are many
poultry farmers or "farmerettes
who would be glad to hear OF some
one else's experience along this line,
and, like myself, would like to read
some ones experience in our own
county.
There are many good breeds of
fowls, each having it's own partcu-
lar good points, but generally we
find something we dislike about
thoroughbreds to suit our individual
needs, and then we must resort to
crosses. Unless we can keep several
distinct breeds to meet our different
needs, we must find a general utility
bird.
! have been experimenting with
several well-known varieties for
some five years. First | thought |
wanted eggs and lots Of them, so |
procured thoroughbred Brown Leg
horns, but soon found out they did
not suit me at all. AS far as eggs
were concerned they were all right,
but, Of course, for home use there
were many objections. The young
chicks were Of too slow growth;
their flesh is tough and of coarse
texture; besides the chicks are hard
to raise and the hens are non-sitters.
But amongst this flock | had some
fine birds; one hen had record Of
240 eggs in one year
next tried Plymouth Rocks, but
| soon got rid Of them. They were
too lazy and dependent. However,
the young fryers are good; they
grow rapidly and their flesh Is very
rich and juicy, but ] did not want
them because they are only fair
raiSers and eat so much as to be un-
profitable. My next venture was
to procure a cross between r. |.
Reds and Buff Orpingtons. These
| mated with Il II. |. cockerel, and
so far the results are all that could
be desired The hens lay very nearly
as well as LeghOrns; the eggs are
very large and yellow, and the yolks
are very much richer in color than
any other eggs l have used. The
young chicks are thrifty, grow rap
idly, and their flesh is superior to
any | have ever eaten. They are so
plump and healthy looking that they
sell readily even when the market Is

her. and was ever generous and con-

tune claimed her attention. She

WALIIALLA
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Friday afternoon the boys OF
the Walhalla High School we're vic
tOrlous In a track meet, defeating
the Grammar School by 81 points
Although the field was heavy on ac-
count Of the mud, the boys did well
showing a fine spirit in spite Of the
| difficulties. Every one Of them went
in with the determination to do his
best and win If possible. Some of
| the records given show what the
boys are capable Of doing. but some
Of them do not do the boys Justice.
1t must be remembered that the field
was heavy and they were hamDerod
greatly.
The boys are practicing hard every
day and are fast getting in trim for
the county track meet to be held in
Seneca on March 30.
Brown can do much better than
Is feet inches In the broad jump,
but that is itself good record. In
the dashcs he will be able to hold
up against anything that will be at
the meet
In the pole vault Kay is fast get
ting in trim and is pushing his rec
ord up. If he keeps on raising the
bar as he has for the last few days
he will soon set 4 new high school
record
Handy is working faithfully with
the discus and will bn able to do
something with it. This is Il new
feature Of the meet here, and the
boys have not been able to get the
form in the short time that they have
had the discus. Mention is made OF
the boys who came first here, but
there are quite a number Of others
who will be able to help get some
points for Walhalla at the meet in
Seneca. There are some ten or
twelve, any OF whom are likely to go
as representatives Of the school.
Kaufman, Garrett, Grant. Mccall,

Some Diseases and their Treatment,

Some Diseases and their Treatment.
Roup-This IS the most dreaded
Of all poultry diseases. The chief
cause OF roup is neglected cold
lice, poor feeding or housing, such
as allowing fowls to stand out in
cold, rainy weather, etc. Anything
which lowers the physical vitality
aids the roup, as naturally the fowl
cannot throw off a cold which in a
n)rmal. healthy condition would not
bother it at all, and the weakened
tissues fall easy victims to the roup
germs.
The first indication OF this disease
is the appearance OF a watery dis
charge from the eyes and nostrils; a;
the upper part of the mouth and
throat soon fill with yellow, cheesy
substance, which has a very often
sive odor; comb turns dark and
feathers about wings look rough
where birds wipe the discharge from
their eyes and nostrils: have high
fever, and affected birds seclude
themselves, and have very poor an
petites. Roup Is a germ disease and
great care should be exercised in
handling the sick ones.
How to treat: First strong dis
infectant should be used, both
around coop where bird is con-
fined and on affected parts; pull
the yellow scab off wherever 1t may be
and apply some good canker cure.
\ good one which we use is Dr.. Nc
kenzies, which can be found at a
dealers, or write us and we will give
you his address.
Fanker-This disease is found
wherever poultry Is kept. One bird
of flock may have it and get well
without others taking it, but usually
several have it before it is discover
ed, and 1t will run through the en-
tire flock unless steps are promptly
taken to check it. The treatment
OF this disease is practically the

tain the sick birds and the houses
where they have previously been
roosting, and where birds have sores
on heads or discharge from mouth
or nostrils, use a good disinfectant
on the fowl itself. For the first
aud crude carbolic acid will answer,
or, if preferred, some of tho prepared
disinfectants to be found on the mar
kets; for the latter purpose, a solu-
ton Of water and carbolic; or for
the throat, peroxide Of hydrogen.

THE LATE CHEVES G. iIGON.
Facts Concerning Dr0wning-Wns
Loved by All Who Knew Him.

Editor Kcowco Courier: You kind
~ printed two accounts in regard to
The ~ning Of my son, Chcvcs G.
Ligon, in last weeks Courier, and, as
neither Of them is exactly correct, |
will You please allow me to give what
think to be tho real facts?
My son owned a small farm on the
Laurcns side Of Enorec river, just
opposite TO the town OF Enoree,
which is on the SpaManburg side OF
the same river. He was also cotton
buyer for the Enorec Cotton Mill
Company. AS tho river was tic
much swollen by the rain Of Thurs
day night tAth instantly to cross
over to Enorcc, he remained at home
Friday. Also, he had recently gone
into the dairy business on a some
what large scale, and was furnishing
cream to party in Spartanburg city
every day, carrying IL across the iron
bridge, near his home, to Enoree
station on railroad to be shipped to
Spartanburg. Tho high water hay
ing washed away tho approach to the
bridge, he thought he could reach it
tthc pr,dgc) in a boat, so he and
colorcd man got in the boat with the
cream and started for the bridge. but
just before reaching it Il heavy flow
OR wave OF water struck the boat,
causing it TO become unmanageablc,
and then it suddenly sank. The col
orod man, by swimming a short dist
ance and catching hold Of some
bushes, saved himself, but my son,
not being able to swim. was carried
by the swift current down the stream
and drowned. Realizing his danger
at once, he calmly said to the colored
man, "Good-bye. Joe" Joe had been
in his employ a long while and each
liked the other.
1t was impossible to get his body
that evening. rs the river was very
high, but the next morning, about 10
O'Clock, it was found about 300 yards
below the bridge, having drifted
from near the main current of the
ground as the water gradually re-
ccdcd.
II Is a cause OF Joy to his loved
ones and friends that there was no
damage to his body at all, his mouth
and eyes both being closed, as if he
was only asleep, and after he was
washed ard dressed. he looked per-
icctly natural, even lifc-likc, and a
sweet smile was sccminGly on his
face to the very last. His devoted
young wife and the Old father kissed
him just before the coffin lid shut
him ont for all earthly time from hu-
man vision.
And now. Mr.. editor. here are
sources OF our comfort: We have
reason To believe our precious one
was Christian. Twenty years ago
he joined the church OF his parents,
and, so far as we know, lived ND TO
MS procession; also his wife tcstiiics
mat he loved his Saviour, his Bible.
his church, and that he kept up
prayer regularly in his family.
lhon is employers OF the Enoroc
Mill Company, also those who were
associated with him in the same bus

The above is greatly appreciated
by the editors OF this department.
and we would like to have more
communications along the same line.
None Of us knows it all about poultry
Keeping, and experiments are in
structive, whether successful or 9th
erwisc. If successful, they may lead
Others to success by adopting the
plan; If unsuccessful, they may help
others to avoid failure by knowing
what NOT to do.
Mrs. Smith, in a personal letter to
the editors of this department, states
she would like to see something in
this department each from poultry
men and women detailing their ac-
tual experience in raising poultry in
this county, and we heartily second
the motion. Any communications
containing Information which will be
Of interest to tho readers of this de-
partment will be published.
AS to Mrs. Smiths theory Of cross
ing breeds for utility fowls: AS
general proposition we would say
that this is a mistake, although in
some cases 1t gives very good re-
suits, especially in the first genera
ton after the cross-breeding; but
the rock upon which one practicing
this theory Is apt to run is, as stated
by Mrs. Smith in the last paragraph
Of her letter, "the inferior points
are very liable to be accentuated,"
and in the second generation after
the croSs-brecding most Of the chicks
are pretty certain to be throw
backs to either one breed or the
other used in the cross, and will be
inferior to either, in color, shane.
size and productiveness.
IN this case we believe she would
have obtained better results by using
the Orpingtons or the r. |. Reds
alone, as either breed are good lay
ers, mature rapidly, and have all the
characteristics usually sought for in
general utility fowl. For instance,
We have one pen Of five Buff Orping-
ton hens and three pullets, closely
confined in house six by eight. and
run ten by fifteen, and from this pen
we get five eggs one day and six the
next. or an average Of five and one
half eggs per day from eight hens.-
