HICKMAN's cHAUTAUQUA
PROVES BIG SUCCESS.

Hickman : initial chautauqua,

We wonder how We ever got a.

after We propose to be on the
chaulauqua map. This was de-
cIdcd Sunday afternoon when
pledge cards were distributed and
enough of them signed TO guaran-
tee It for 1918. This plan takes
the responsibility or guarantee
off the shoulders of few men
aud distributes the burden among
the masses The original under
taking. as handled this year, fell
pretty heavily on our business
men, who guaranteed the $S'si
ticket sales. but since a "sam-
pie of this work has been given,
there is u good deal more enthu-
siasm. Next years chautauqua
will be looked forward to with
more interest by more people.
Our chautauqna has been a
source of entertainment, recrea-
ton and instruction. II brings

SOUTHEASTERN FOOD
CROPS CONFERENCE
Important Meeting to Be Held
in Atlanta in October.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 24.-The
Georgia Chamber OF Commerce
is arranging to hold big meet
ing in atlanta in the early part
OF October, which will be known
as the Southeastern Food Crops
Conference. The object OF the
conference will be to secure the
growing of a larger amount OF all
foodstutfs, both for man and an
imals, in the cotton producing
states OF the southeast. At the
same time, the cotton states ly-
ing west OF the Mississippi will
be requested to hold a similar
conference in some suitably To-
Gated city within easy reach OF
their territory.
The plans, as outlined by the
state chamber, call for between
500 and 900 delegates. The
Commissioner OF Agriculture in
each state will be requested to
appoint a delegate from each
county in his state, with alternate
delegates in case OF inability to
attend on the part OF the first one
named These men will be Sc
lected by reason OF their influence
among the farmers OF their coun-
ties.
The Importance OF raising SUI
ticient foodstutfs so that the
southeast will not have to import
any next year will be earnestly
impressed upon the meeting,
Since the coming OF the Euro
pean war, the entire south is get
ting an object lesson on the fool
ishness OF depending too much on
any one crop, no matter how
strong crop tndt may De. 1T IS
necessary that every county shall
grow at least enough to feed it
se'f next year. It is impossible
to say how long this war may
last. Earl Kitchener, the British
Minister OF War, who is probably
the most reliable source OF infor-
nation, states that it will extend
over a period OF eighteen months.
That will mean two crops for us.
1t is imperative that the South
shall be absolutely independent

what price price cotton may
bring, we shall be immune from

he South can do it. Before the
Civil War It was practically an
unknown thing for a Southerner
to buy any meats, grain or other
staple foods from anywhere out
side the South.
The date ior the Conference
will probably be October 5 and
%. It is possible that it will be
found advisable to change these
dates little, but it will be held
at about that time in order that
the effect may be felt before the
fall crops OF small grain are
planted. The meeting will tol-
low the same general plan OF
those held during the Boil Wee
vii campaign OF last year, when
diversity OF crops was so strong
Iv urged They will be inspira-
t'onal in character At the close,
each delegate will be asked to
personally undertake to create an
effective organization in his
home county These local or
CARNATIONS will make a personal
canvas, OF all farmers and secure
their promises to plant largely in
creased acreage in foodstuffs for
next year.
In order to make campaign
OF this nature bring results it is
essential that it be made wide
enough to cover all the cotton
growing states. The Georgia
Chamber Of Commerce in under
takering to call the conference is
dong a work for the entire south
that compels the heartiest coop
Grafton from every individual
who calls himself a son of Dixie.
Careful plans are being made
to ensure the attendance OF at
least one delegate from every
county in each state affected
Therefore the effect will be such
as to turn the present war scare
into blessing and to set a new
date from which to mark the
and independence Of
the Greater South.

FIRST OIL WELL
DRIVEN IS YEARS AGO

F]ftv-hve wears ago today the
hrSt driven oil well in the United
States began to give up its prec-
lous fluid. The event marked an
epoch in the illumination OF the
world and the beginning Of many
huge fortunes. The chief illumi-
nants OF that day were sperm, or
whale, oil retailing at S2.25 a gal
lon; "camphene,' derivative Of
turpentine and very liable to ex-
plosion; "coal-oil,' obtained from
coal and Scotch bighead. selling
at about $500 a gallon. How to
light the home and workshop
cheaply was a serious economic
problem. It was that argument
that influenced two Connecticut
hnanciers to advance ST 900 to
Col. Edwin L. Drake, who pro-
posed to drill an oil we'll near
Pithole, Pa, where for genera
tlonS the local residents had been
gathering oil as it foated on the
surfaces Of creeks and pools.
Drake began work in 1857, His
early attempts resulted in fail
ure; his fnanciers refused more
money, and his workmen desert
ed His scheme became the Joke
Of the countryside. Gle might
as we'll drill for whiskey," re-
marked one rural spectator.
When on the verge Of starvation,
Drake finally secured financial
aid from Pennsvlvanians and re-
sumtd his operations. Months
passed, Several drilling methods
proved fruitless, until he sank a
six-inch iron pipe. At depth Of
II feet the pioneer finally found
traces of oil, and the next morn
ing the liquid was found flowing
literally upon the ground. 1t
was the beginning Of one Of the
greatest Of modern industries.
Today the oil wells of the
United States are annually pro-
ducing nearly two-thirds of the
crude petroleum onsum m d
throughout the world. The yield
reaches the enormous total of
about Io,ooo,ooo,ooo gallons a
year with a wholesale value esti-
at S5oo,ooo,ooo
