Men talk about the hardships
caused by the advanced price of
food. That is small matter COM
pared with extravaganza in seeking
pleasure aud recreation. During the
present summer people of this state
have spent twice as much for visits
to pleasure resorts and mountain
hotels as the whole state spends for
food. The owners of automobiles
are paying about two and a half
million dollars year for the re-
pairs and running expenses of auto
mobiles. Nine-tenths o. them are
used for pleasure alone. That would
buy bread enough for the whole
state. People grumble abou: grocers'
and butchers bills at home, but they
send their families off to a summer
resort and pay enough to keep them
two months to meet all food bills
for year. Let the people place the
blame where it belongs, but do not
put it all on the high price of food.

Greatly Pleased With Recent
w. Nj. u. Meeting.

A lady who attended the conven-
ton at Antioch sent the following to
the Greenwe-d d Index last week:
Bright and early last Tuesday
morning two of the best workers of
the Shining Lights society of the
Bold Springs Baptist church set
out for Antioch church, eight miles
west of Edgefeld, to attend the w.
NJ. U. convention of the Edg efeld
Association. We had long, rough
ride, but the improved condition of
the farming lands in that section
and the pretty crops OF corn and
peas lessened the fatigue of the
journey. On .?aching the historic
and attractive old church we were
warmly greeted by many sweet fa-
miliar faces and all seemed in a
hurry to get to work. Our conven-
ton was presided over by Mrs. j.
u. Minis, of Edgefeld, in most
q aceful aud pleasing manner. Tru-
ly Mrs. Minis never appea~ more at
home any where than in missiona-
~ meeting. The roll call of church
es showed large delegation from
various sections of the association,
and the reports from the societies
were well-pleasing to all present.
We were delighted to have with US
our corresponding secretary, Mrs.
Fizer,' of Columbia-also Rev. Mr..
Grain, who spoke on Mountain
Schools" The gentlemen who had
acted as escorts for our good wo-
men, were invited into the church
to hear this address and we're de.
lighted with it. Our meeting was
perfect success, so full of the spirit
of missions, system and intelli-
gence. We feel that all who failed
to attend the meeting have missed
one of the most enjoyable episodes
of their lives. We are indebted to
the good people of Antioch for
their royal entertainment and espe-
cially to their Jealous pastor, Rev,
il. z. Listleiohn, who was busy
throughout the entire day looking
after the comfort of all present. ;"

4, Colored Revival Meeting.

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me space
in3gour paper to speak of great meet
ing that was held at the Mt. Mariah
((No.s ! Baptist church. This meet
ing was, one of the best meanings
ever held at this church. At the
beginning of the meeting you could
see the peo pie coming far and near
with. the love of God in their hearts.
Itsseemed as though every one that
could took part j n the meeting, in
prayer, in singing and in feeding.
The sisters were in earnest about
the lost souls. They went up to the
altar and prayed to the Lord that
some might be saved, viz: Sisters
Margaret Lenoir, Lila Marshall,
Efperta Hardy and others. Our be-
loved pastor Rev. VIM. Peterson
Was assisted in the meeting by Rev.
MT. Scott, Rev. r. S. Martin,
of]the Cochran A. M. E. church
and others. There was good behav-
ionf on the church ground. On ST.:
day. deacon H. L. Price one of the
old deacons of the church gave the
laws and it seemed that every one
who heard him took part in it. The
people gave freely in every collec-
ton that was called, and they ate
to their own satisfaction every day.
Collection raised during the meet
ingswas s4l.62. At the close Of the
meeting there were % souls con-
verted. On Friday at the baptism
.weshad with US some of our best
white people, the Moultrie's and
Strom's. After baptism the congre-
gation returned to the church where
the pastor read the covenant to the
candidates and it was one of the
best covenants that we have ever
heard. He taught them as Christ
tanghts his disciples. Then we sang
hymn Blest be the tie that binds
3and shook the parting hands.

Sowing Oats.

1t is time for our farmers to be-
Gin planning for an increased acre
age in oats this fall. While it is
true that we have more corn than
usual, still this should not cut our
acreage put to oats. The corn crop
in Kansas and Missouri is very
short. Corn will sell in the south
at sl.50 on credit next year. The
cash price of corn will pay far
mer more clear money than cotton.
Our farmers have chance now to.
get upon proper basis by growing
their home supplies. Oats are the,
cheapest form of stock food that
you can grow. 1t is the most prof.
table crop YOU can grow. They are
an essential part of any good sys-
TEN of crop rotation. So we call up
on III to SOW oats. Sow them in
well-prepared land if you can. If
you haven't the land free for this
purpose SOW them in the middle of
your cotton rows. Our farmers have
for sale the best lot of seed oats
the south has ever had. So the con-
ditions are all favorable. There is
but one thing necessary, and 1t is
for each individual farmer to make
up his mind to go at it. We have
heard of many farmers who grew
around 100 bushels per acre the
past season. You can do so in 1914
if you will only prepare your land
we'll. Manure it literally and sow
enough oats per acre. Those Hho
secure large yield SOW anywhere
from three up to five bushels per
acre. Unless your oat seed are free
from smut soak them in solution
of formaldahide, using one pint of
formaldahide to 80 gallons of wa
ter. You can secure this at any drug
store and it is not expensive. Our
people have done well in getting up
corn clubs in nearl y every commu-
nifty. Now get up an oat club, and
if you can not get up an oat club,
tell your neighbor you are going in
TO beat him growing oats in 1914.

Esood Rest Medicine.


KMany of the most familiar fruits
and vegetables have distinct medi-
cal values. The proper attention to
the things we eat then will make
them serve both the purposes of
food and medicine, and will enable
us to save some of the money spent
on remedies and doctor bills. The
following are some articles Of diet
which are known to have medicinal
qualities:
Apples, carrots and Brazil nuts
are excellent for sufferers from con-
stipation.
Asparagus stimulates the kidneys.
Bananas are beneficial to suffer
ers from chest complaints.
Beets are fattening and good for
people who want to put on flesh. So
are potatoes.
Celery and unions ale nerve ton
les.
Cranberries are astringent and
correct the liver when it is suffer
ing from inaction caused by over
eating.
Dates are nourishing and also pre-
vent constipa ion.
Grape juice is laxative, but the
skin and seeds are likely to cause
constipation.
Honey is good substitute for
cod liver oil.
Lemon juice is excellent as gar
gle for sore throat.
Lettuce has a soothing effect on
the nerves and is excellenI for
sufferers rom insomnia.
Onions are conducive to sleep.
They quiet the nerves and are good
for colds.
Parsnips, like sarsaparilla, are
good for the blood and TO tone up
the system.
Tomatoes are good for torpid
liver, but they should be avoided by
gouty people.
Water cress is an excellent blood
purifier.-Kansas City Star.

Describes Trip to Hot Springs,
Arkansas. s4

Through the medium of your pa
per please permit me to write my
friends in Edgefeld, many of whom
l promised to write while spending
a month at these wonderful springs.
On August 3lst at $3.50 O'Clock a.
M, left the old city of Augusta,
and arrived in Atlanta at $3.50 p. m.
The metamorphosis of Atlanta with
in the last five years is something
marvellous.
What 90 years or 80 years will
bring to our southern cities no one
can conjecture. At 5 O'Clock left
Atlanta over the Seaboard and ar
rived in Birmingham about IL
O clock that night. On approaching
Birmingham on dark night one is
impressed that a great confagatlon
is consuming the city, but nothing
doing. These fires are always burn
ing but never consume.
The coke kilns are only convert
ing coal into coke, gas and tar. At
ter a ten minutes wait and then we
board the Frisco and make long
drive through Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee to Memphis. Then |
discovered the great Mississippi
river with it's big floating docks and
immense streams. The advantage OF
these floating docks are, as the river
rises these docks are pulled up the
hill and loading and unloading IS
not disturbed by the rising river
and vice versa.
After two and a half hours pleas
antly spent in Memphis we boarded
the Kansas City and Memphis rail-
road and rode through the great
Mississippi river bottoms and jun
giles where the overflow recently
covered over millions of acres of
land and submerged the farms, the
iungles, the saw mills and house
tops. Mud left. on trees and house
tops show how high the dampness
reached. This high moisture did not
stop the trains, however, as an :ens es
bankment is built above high t'de''
across this vast stretch of low lands.
Tiring of riding the Kansas City
railroad we changed our horse at
Bridge junction for the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
Passing through little "Rockanses"
and many other towns of note and
interests. we began our assent of
the mountains leading to, Hot
Springs which we reached at 5:45
Monday evening September lst,

be gotten in connection with the
school for a practical agricultural
demonstration. DR.. Kings remarks
to the student body were of an i'm

with few words to both pupil and
