VICTORY FOR SUMTER "DRYS"
Lexington SWEETS" Also WIn-De-
cisions In Liquor Contests.

Columbia, September lO--Fol-
lowing a long executive session to.
night, the State board Of canvaSsers
announced that the election held in
Sumter county on the dispensary
question had been thrown out on
the general ground that the ballots
used were not of the legal size. The
board in effect declared that no le-
gal election on the issue had ever
been held.
1t was announced that the ruling
by the Lexington county board of
canvassers, in favor of the dispen-
sary had been sustained.
Consideration of the Williamsburg
appeal was begun tonight, but at a
late hour, when three members stood
for sustaining the protest and three
against it, the board took recess
until tomorrow morning, when
decision will very probably be
reached.
Votes of the members of the State
board on the contests were not an.
nounced tonight.

Little Boy Blue, which will be
presented September 19. On the
success of this attraction the future
of the enterprise depends. If the

ought to show their interest in the
patronage of this show. 1t is one
of the brightest and best on the

the prices will be even little less
than were charged in these cities,
There are 65 people in the company
and a 7-piece orchestra.
Send your order at once for re.
served seat. A party will be made
up from this community, and the
editor will take pleasure in being

said that child's education should
begin hundred years before it was
born. However that may be, the
child's education can be helped along
a good deal after it is born if the
parents have the means to give it a
chance.
Give your boy or girl a square
deal. Start an account in the Bank
of Williamsburg, if only one dollar,
and add to it regularly, say once a
month, as much as you can spare.
You'll be surprised to see how quick
the NEST egg" will grow. Start
early and by the time your child is
ready to go to college the money is
available without having to pay it
all in a lump"
The same plan may be pursued to
give your boy or girl really valu-
able Xmas gift. Start now and add
a little every month. BY Christmas
time your child has a nice little bank
account.
Begin early to teach the children

INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS
Pulling and Eating of Each Others
Feathers May Be Cured by Al
lowing Them Free Range.

Sometimes a flock Of hens acquire
the habit of pulling and eating each
others feathers. In some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
become torn and sore, and the whole
flock is nearly naked.
When they first show the signs of
this vice measures should promptly
be taken to cure them.
The. trouble is caused by too closely
confining the fowls and allowing
them to be idle. Where possible they
should be turned on the range where
the fascination of chasing bugs and
eating the green stuff will make them
forget the bad habit.
When they cannot be turned out
they should be made to scratch for
their grain in deep litter. Bundles
of wheat or oats, or sunflower heads
may be hung up just high enough
that they will have to work to get the
seeds. Give them some turnips or
mangle beets or cabbage heads to
work at-anything to keep them in
exercise and busy. Feed them plenty
of green food, meat, meal, beef scraps
and green cut bone.
Rub carbolated vaseline on the
plucked fowls where the feathers
have been pulled out.

A-Shaped Hog House.

She had IL living pigs. Ten were left
with SOW and two raised by hand.
Weather remained cold several days,
but the SOW raised the ten pigs with
out any artificial heat. We have since
had better success with them than
with sows in any other place.
The second objection, trouble in
handling, | have overcome in this
way: | make door of the top half
of one side of house the full length of
house, using strap hinges at top Of
house. This door may be propped up
with stick or turned back on other
side of house. (See illustration.)
Have never had any trouble handling
SOW in house constructed in this way
cover this door with iron roofing
and let it extend two or three inches
lower than door on lower siding. Have
never had any trouble in leaking.
always place the house so that the
entrance door is east and side door
south, and on bright days open this
door so that pigs get the sun. The
side door is high enough so that pigs
get the advantage of sunshine without
being exposed to wind. Usually keep
entrance door closed at night until
sow farrows, and if warm raise the
side door for ventilation.

PROFITABLE AS EGG LAYER
Brown Leghorn Hen, Six Years Old,
Stops Laying Just Long Enough
to Hatch Out Brood.

AS to the age limit of profitable egg
production there are many exceptions
to this rule. Some hens are never
profitable egg producers, while others
may be profitable for years. l have a
three-fourths grade Brown Leghorn
that is nearly six years old and she
has not stopped laying since early last
spring long enough to hatch a brood
of chickens, says a writer in an ex.
change. She got broody last April and
was given eggs, but she sat but few
days until she quit her nest and was
laying again in a short time. She has
been almost a continual layer up to
this date, and is still laying. Much
of the time she laid an egg every
day.
The regular profit Of 81 per fowl
seems to satisfy the average poultry
man. This is wrong, for no one
should be satisfied in any line of work,

but constantly striving for better re-
suits and larger profits. Two and
three dollars per fowl is a possible
profit and is being attained by some
men in the poultry business today.
The secret does not lie in the fowl
or the variety, but in the human
brain. Let us all study more care
fully the rules and principles that
govern poultry culture. Let us strive
to increase the profit in our f1ocks,
and thus each year set up a new
standard for the succeeding year. By
thought, perseverance and persistence
great things can be accomplished
with poultry.

SHOULD NOT OVERWORK MARE
Practice of Allowing the FoaI to Fol-
low Its Mother in the Fields Is
Not to Be Encouraged.

That a mare can be worked advan-
questioned, but the danger lies in
overworking, and when roads are bad
or field soft there is more or less risk
of injury to both mare and unborn
foal.
Yet, having escaped all these risks
by careful and judicious handling of
the mare, and the foal on arrival is to
all appearances strong and vigorous,
it will not long continue in this con-
dition IL compelled to follow its dam
in the field day after day under a
boiling sun.
The practice of allowing the foal to
accompany it's mother on the road or
in the field is not to be commended.
When the mother must be in harness
the foal will fare better if left at
home. When the work can be so ar
ranged that the mares with foals do
their work close at home. the latter
should be confined in box stall, and
only a moderate amount of time will
be required in the middle Of each
halliday to go to the stable and allow
the colt to suckle.
At first it will be trial to drive
a mare away from her foal, but pa
tience and kindness will overcome the
maternal instinct No one, unless des-
titute of fellow-feeling, would abuse
mother for clinging to her off
spring, and in parting the mare and
foal for two or three hours. firmness
and kindness must be combined
