monic. Mr.. S. j. White and a few
II his neighbors had prepared an ele-
giant barbecued pig, which was served
by the ladies and some of the neigh
pors to the hungry crowd. There
were also chicken and rice and pies
and cake, and all of the other picnic
necessities and dainties that any one
could wish for. The barbecue. how
ever, was the feature Of the dinner.
IL was as fine as anything of the
Kind which those present had ever
partaken of. Mr.. White had prepar-
ed tables unded his wagon shed and
the diners did not even have the dis
comfort of standing in the sun. This
was feature that no one neglected
and which everyone most heartily en-
Joyed and appreciated. Mr.. White and
those who had hand in preparing
this feature certainly earned the
thanks of all who partOok of the din
ner.
After the dinner Miss Mary Lem
mon, rural school supervisor and or
ganizer of the girls tomato clubs in
sumter county. gave a canning dem
onstration, which proved very inter-
esting to number Of the men pres
ent as well as to the canning club
girls.
Mr.. w. II. Barton, district demon
stration agent, delivered the closing
lecture of the day. He spoke on the
necessity Of crop rotation and the
building up the soil by means Of crop
rotation. His lecture was an ex-
tremely interesting one and was lis
tened to with the strictest attention.

Nudity Would be Better"

Absolute nudity in women Is pre-
ferable to the present fashion Of dress
Ing, according to Rev. Stephen A.
Nettles, editor Of the Southern Chris
tian Advocate, which publication in
last weeks issue strongly denounc-
ed what the editor calls "sensuality
in wOman's Dress"
Mr.. Nettles says: Somehow it
seems that many women love to dis
play their forms; it has gone so far
that in some cities, laws have been
passed forbidding the appearance of
women upon the streets in certain
styles of dress
Really, we believe it would be NOR
ally far better for the women to fol-
low the custom of many African
tribes, who are robed in nothing more
than beads of perspiratiOn, than to
wear these suggestive dresses that
many are now adorning their bodies
with.
Let the press and the pulpit and
the city councils and the State leg
islature and the truly modest women
Of our land do all in their power to
avert the destruction being called
down upon our country by these devil
ish costumes"
Mr.. Nettles says he believes that
"One OF the chief sources Of this
degeneracy of mOdesty In our women
is found in the bathing custom and
| costumes"

Take Care of Your Piano Nerves

piano must be treated kindly IL
1t is to be a lifelong friend and must
not be neglected. For just as a friend
resents neglect. so does the piano. says
the Baltimore American
You will never get the best out of
your piano If you keep it shut up and
unused. 1t is almost as bad to act in
this way towards it as it is to thump
and bang on it incessantly.
Now and then 1t will want tuning.
There is no certain rule In this matter.
Some pianos keep in tune much longer
than others, but an expert says that
every three months the process is nec-
essary.
Pianos are very sensitive in damn
ana and cold, and should yours be in a
room that is not used constantly. be
sure it does not stand against an out
side wall, and from time to time have
a fire in the room. 1t is not good for
the piano to be placed against any wall
because in that position the full volume
of sound is not heard. So set 1t across
the corners. and standing out into the
room, and hide the ugly back with a
curtain strung upon a brass rod-pre-
suming that the piano is an upright
one.
The practice of loading the top of
a piano with ornaments and music
is one to be condemned utterly There
is no reason why a bowl of flowers or
a photograph or two in light frames
should not be placed thereon. but they
should rest upon fabric such as some
specially pretty piece of brocade or en-
broidered linen, to prevent the rattling
that might be set up when the piano
Is being played.

Rattle Among Birds

Indianapolis, August q Special "A
free for-all bird fight occurred at the
home of Mayor Shank the other day.
during which a baby oriole, the cause
of the trouble, was killed The mayor
said 1t was the most exciting thing that
has happened since he was laid up
with the lumbago. He believes a bird
fight has cock or dog fight backed off
the boards when 1t comes to genuine ex-
citement.
The trouble started when the baby
oriole flew from the est of its parents
in big maple tree across the street,
to a huge elm tree in the mayors yard
Here. proud of its first fight alone, the
little oriole perched itself on a limb to
rest
woodpecker, peeping out of his
nest in the elm, saw the intruder and
made an attack on the oriole. The
watchful parent orioles Just across the
street saw the attack, and flew TO
their baby's rescue. Mrs. Woodpecker
arrived on the scene, and the fight bo-
gan in earnest.
Feathers flew and the fighters gave
vent to bird-like profanity. First the
woodpeckers seemed TO have the best of
it, and then the orioles. When the
light was at its height robin that had
its nest in the elm tree with the wood
peckers. decided to take a hand, pre-
sumably as a peacemaker The robin
would fight first one bird and then an
other Once all five birds fell to the
ground. but were on the wing again in
an instant and the fight was renewed.
A crowd of probably 25 people living
in the neighborhood gathered. The robin
did not make any great headway as a
peacemaker, and the mayor was of the
opinion that he just butted In for a little
excitement. At any rate. the robin did
not appear to have any favorites in the
melee.
The birds fought for more than a half
hour, until they were almost exhausted.
Finally the orioles flew back to their
maple tree and the woodpeckers flew
to limb in their elm tree.
The baby oriole, the cause of all the
trouble, was found hanging to q tiny
limb. dead.
1T was certainly great fight. said
the mayor, but / feel sorry for that
poor little baby oriole."

RAD|P DECLINE IN
COTTON MARKET
Effects of Heavy Selling
Due to Rain News Felt.
Little Reaction

New York, August 2.-Reports that the
drouth in eastern Texas had been effectu-
ally broken by showers caused rapid
decline in the cotton market today. octo-
Der selling al 11.12c, or equal to the pre-
vious low point touched in July. From
the very opening which was easy at 7
to 15 points decline, the market showed
the effects of heavy selling due to the
rain news, and there was but little reac-
ton at any time during the forenoon, the
close being near the lowest and 10 to %
points under the previous night. One of
the heaviest sellers of new crop months
was a prominent spot house, which was
thought to be acting on advices from IT'S
tent of the rain fall.
1t was pretty we'll established that fair
to good showers covered about all of the
large producing counties of Texas, where
drouth has been complained of, and as
more rain was predicted for the southern
part of eastern Texas tomorrow. the trade
felt assured of more optimistic crop adj
vices from their next week. In the east
ern belt, where continuous showers have
begun to cause apprehension. clearing
conditions were indicated in the forecast.
Liverpool was closed today and will he
Monday also.
About the only signs of interest from
trade sources was contained In a wire
from Macon, which said there had been
some inquiry from the east, August to
November shipment Some of the esti-
mates from Texas were as high as $780,
900 bales, the idea prevailing that previons
damage from dry weather had not been
as serious as reported. Demand today
was mostly from shorts. The effects of
yesterdays bullsh government report
seemed to be entirely offset by the great
improvement in Texas weather conditions
and sentiment was correspondingly bear
ish, although bulls were looking for a
good trade demand to set in around the
II cent level and besides claimed that un-
less followed up by further precipitation.
today's rains would prove of little per-
manent benefit.

DECLINE OF 7 TO 18
POINTS IN COTTON
Market Feels Influence of
Rains Over Night in
Texas

New Orleans. August 2.-The cotton
market today felt the influence of rains
over night in Texas Private advices
reported precipitation at a number OF
points in important cotton producing coun-
ties, but the weather bureau noted rains
at only 13 out of the so stations in the
Texas weather district while Oklahoma
got no rain at all This led to the claim
by the bulls that not enough rain had
fallen to materially change the situation
in the western belt. but the bears sold
freely on private accounts and the market
crumbled away under the selling.
On the opening the tone was easy and
prices were to Is points down. The
weather map was cloudy and showed very
moderate rains in Texas. In the early
trading the new crops made a decline OF
II to Is points. Not only were offerings
frcm short sellers free. but buyers OF
! yesterday liquidated their holdings at a
loss. Little new long buying was in evil
dence, and 1t required heavy profit taxi
ing on the short side to check the de-
cline Around the middle of the morning
the market partially recovered, standing
at a loss of only IL to u points. but
later selling increased and the market
| fell off TO the lowest levels of the day
gains, as private advices from the west
Continued to affirm that good rains had
| fallen.
The undertone was better after the mid
die of the morning on the forecast of
| fair weather for west Texas and Okla
| homa, but at no time did the market dis
play strength. The close was steady at =
net decline of 7 to IS points.
