'ARANT'S AD. is worth FIVE cents.

On the night OF the 3rd of this month
some one broke into Mr.. J. w. Thames
store at Paxville, and carried OIL a lot
Iof stuff. They used a brand new baby
carriage to haul the goods on. ms
carriage was found about a mile from
Paxville on the Northwestern Railroad
The carriage is now at MIR. Rhame's,
and the owner can get same oy apply
ing at J. W. Rhames store. The burg
lars used an axe to prize open the door
and left the axe in the store. rms Is
not the first time that this, and other
stores have been broken iuto at Pax
vile.
In Yesterdays newspapers there ap-
peared the names for the newly ap-
pointed Supervisors OF Registration. so
far as Clarendon is concerned there Is
an error, caused by the names OF the
new officers not having reached the
Governor before he sent his list over to
the Secretary of State. 1t has been
the custom IN this matter to let the
Salem Representative name MEMBER
Of this board, and Mr.. Kennedy named
Mr.. L. Butler Gibbons, of Turbe7ille,
who will take the place filled by MIR.
J. J. Epps, Mr.. E. D. Hodge remains
on the board. and Mr.. Silas E. Ridge
way will be appointed in the place OF
his father Mr.. G. T. Ridgeway. IS
soon as the list published in the news
papers recched here, steps were at
once taken to apprize the Governor OF
the wishes of a majority OF the delega-
ton, aud he will only commission those
whom the delegation recommend.

near Cades in Williamsburg County.
Miss Annabeile Epps who is teaching
near ForeStou spent Saturday and Sun
day at home, Miss Sue Johnson came
with her.
Mr.. Workman preached at Midway
last Sunday, the attendance Nas not so
good as there was misunderstanding.
There was big crowd oat at Sun
day school st Oakdale Sunday morning,
all of the teachers were out, and one
fellow SAYS the Oakdale school teachers
was truly out, for they made it plain, if
it was not Sunday that the man or wo-
man that had written the Oakdale
news had made a misleading state
ment, especially that Oakdale teachers
wasn't husband hunters. Of course after
they made their open confession 10 the
writer. he felt that he had goboled up
the news in reference TO our school
teachers, and want to say right here
to the best of my knowledge, l believe
Two OF the Oakdale teachers expect TO
marry as soon as school stops, and the
other is wearing smiles enough TO rep
resent one engaged to three or four
men.

pfNEWOOD.

We have been having some weather
in this send of the county. Firsta freeze,
then hail storm: then snow storm,
then blizzard, then rain and hail
storm again Friday afternoon.
Farm work has been at stand'tlll
for the past three weeks, but one good
thing the farmers had taken advant-
age Of the good weather, and were right
up with their work, and had a plenty
OF time, so they spent it attending the
revival meeting at the Methodlst
church, which ran for Il days and
nights, and great time it was for
Pinewood, for if there is such thing
as turning a town upside down it is the
case with Pinewood and the surrounding
community, enemies made friends
with each other, an oacksliders were
reclaimed and sinners converted and
lots OF old debts were paid up and there
were fifty-nine added to the churches,
the PreSbyterians receiving three
members.

During, and after the meeting, there
was about s400 raised for the preacher
and his singers, Mr.. Marshall and his
daughter.
This does not look like Pinewood is
as bad as it has been reputed to be.
On the back of this there was about
SIG raised for MIR. Brewer and his
family, as they are among our poorest
people.
With few exceptions everybody else
claimed to be converted, OF course,
there were few that would not attend
the meeting. 1t is said by some of the
Oldest folks that this is the greatest
revival ever known in this land. 1t was
beautiful sight to see so odd persons
received into the church at one time
something that has never happened at
this church before.
Mrs Marian chatham, of Eastover,
has returned home, after few days
stay with her father, A. P. Ragin.
Miss Ruth Weeks. of Lone Star, has
returned home, after spending a few
days with her sister, Mrs. Leo Fielder.
We all feel very lonely siuce our
meeting closed.

UNITE TO GET FAIR PRICES
Attorney Generals of Southern States
Give Opinions on Scope OF
Farmers Cooperation.

To what extent may producers unite
to obtain fair prices and better dis
tribution? Is it legal for cotton grow.
ers in each state to hold conventions,
vote that the price should be Ger
tain figure. and then through their
own state organizations urge upon
local oranges and unions within the
state the wisdom Of cooperating to
demand and obtain such prices?
We submitted this all-important
question to the attorney general Of
each Of the southern states, says the
Iowa Homestead. Their replies indt-
dicate that such action on the farm
ers' part does not violate the antitrust
law in any Of the southern state. The
Mississippi attorney general writes a
lengthy opinion to the effect that the
antitrust law was not aimed at that
sort Of thing, but that 1t is an advant-
age to the state and to the public for
growers to receive a reasonable price
for. their produce. Evidently there
tS utL MUCu uduSSI U0I lu1( IAC SA0
forts Of farmers to cooperate in
marketing their produce wholly with
IL their state may be legal and not
subject them to prosecution. How
ever, 1t will be wise for them to take
counsel on this point.
Interstate combinations Of pro-
ducers to effect better distribution and
secure better prices may run up
against the federal antitrust statute.
That is why so harmless corporation
as the New England milk producers
company had to disband as result
Of being indicted for violating the fed
eral law. It has been succeeded by
voluntary association, which strives to
avoid any conflict with the statute.
The organization Of the California
orange growers, which so efficiently
promotes the distribution Of that crop
at fair prices, has thus far escaped in
dictment. Instead Of discouraging
cooperation, both federal and state
laws should encourage 1t.

CARE OF GASOLINE ENGINES
Apparatus ls Handy Power and Do
serving OF Widespread Popularity
1t Fills Many NIehes.

Farmers who shelter their nachin-
cry in the fields during the winter are
not apt to make much Of success
Of the gasoline engine in farm work.
The gasoline engine IS e very handy
power and is deserving Of widespread
popularity. 1t VIII I'LL many inches on
a good sized farm and very few OF
US have begun to know its value.
It must be well cared for and kept
well housed. for there are certain
condition under which It operates that
are simple but inezorable. It will
balk quicker than a mule II the con-
ditions are not right.
Any farmer can get valuable assist
ance from a gasoline engine II he
will give 1t proper care.
Its care Is very simple. First comes
protection from the weather. A tar
pauln is very good cover for an en-
gine that is kept out-of-doors, and even
one housed is better ii kept covered
when it is not in use. Live batteries
are necessary. Electricity is the spark
Of life to a gasoline motor.
A clean spark plug is necessary a.
the other end Of the battery wire. The
mixture Of gasoline and air must be
Just right for the most effective work
at the greatest economy Of power,
although the motor viii work and
waste gasoline.
Adjustments Of this kind are simple
to learn and should be understood by
the man who has charge OF the engine.
A frequent cause Of trouble is the
failure to strain the gasoline when
filling the tank. Pay but little atten'
ton to men who claim that their gaso-
line is absolutely clean, or the result
will be disastrous.
Strain the gasoline through a
chamois or finely meshed strainer.
Good lubricating oil is another I'M
portant essential No gasoline-eng1ne
can give it's best service unless It is
properly cared for and housed.

B;p Celebration Of Colored Schools.

The Field Day Celebration OF the
colcred schools OF the County last Wed
nesday, was D." stration that
brought much prai. u all sides and
from whites as we'll d. colored. The
street parade was formed up at the col,
ored graded school at one O'CLOCK and
was led lhrougb the streets to the
Clark's ware house by the State Col
leee band. Each school was headed
by its teacher and designated BY BAN
ner with the name OF the school written
thereon. The parade was long. and
the line of students showed much train
ing, over 1000 school children were IN
the march, it seems. The music as
rendered by the State College band
pleased the whole town, and people on
all sides we're attracted by the biggest
display ever had among negroes IN
Clarendon County.
In the ware house the school booths
we're arranged, representing every
phase of work in the colored schools.
This future alone attracted much atten-
ton, and caused very pleasant COM
ment, it IS said.
There was large crowd of colored
people in town, fully 1000. To have
gotten together SO many people after
The bad weather, a few days prior,
seemed impossible. Prof Myers, prin-
cipal OF the Manning school, who is
president OF the Colored Teachers AS
sociation, has received much praise for
his ar, ofgettino up such magnificent
celebration despite the disadvantages.
The large crowd Of colored people
here Wednesday, was orderly and ev-
erv one seem TO have spent pleasant
day. The crowd in the ware house
heard some able speeches. Pres. Il. S.
Wilkinson, of the State College, being
unable to come, sent in his stead Prof..
B, F. Hubert, who made an impressive
speech to the crowd. Many of the best
coiored farmers being present. II. w.
Westbury, Of Sumter, also made a
touching speech on expert farming.
he compiimented Prof. Myers and
the colored people OF the County on
the wonderful demonstration, and uni.
ty evident on the occasion. The other
speakers were principal Myers, Rev.
S. w. TimmonS and Il. a. White.
The committee appointed to report
on the best arranged, most attractive
exhibits of the articles displayed,
awarded prizes as follows:
First Prize-Pine Grove school, JOS
iphine Brown, teacher. Second Prize
booth 10 Manning school, prepared by
Fanny D. Harvin. Third Prize-Loda-
Dor school. 7. l.. Richardson, teacher:
Fourth Prize-Calvary school, Ada
Williams, teacher. Fifth Students,
Manning high school colored, assisted
by r. E. Graham.
There were many other very at
tractive booths in the display.
This is the first County Celebration
Of its kind among the negroes in South
Carolina, and the colored people OF
Clarendon County should feel proud
that .hey lead IN this good work, and
that they have made such au excellent
mark in the beginning. 1t will put
new life in their school work, that will
be the means OF inspiring them in ev-
cry community.

HIGHEST PRICE FOR COTTON
Movement lnaueurated at Bonham
! That Deserves Consideration Of
All Shipping Points.

The merchants Of Bonham, Tex,
have organized a company to offer the
farmers top prices for their cotton.
The company does not care to deal in
cotton, but will take it where the
regular buyers refuse to pay the high
est market price.
; The business men of Texas are be-
ginning to realize that they can be-
come most useful OF the marketing
side of agriculture and the Bonham
movement deserves the consideration
of all other shipping points.
Business men can employ their ener-
gies to no better advantage than to
assist farmers in getting fairer market
prices for their products.

Marketing Cream.

On farms where hand separator Is
used more money can often be OBJ
tained by selling sweet cream to ho-
tells, ccnfectioners and ice-cream max
ers than by selling sour cream to the
creamery OF course, it is more
trouble to market sweet cream than
sour. as the product must be taken
to market oftener, and care must BE
exercised to keep the cream perfectly
sweet, but where the market is not
too far away all these difficulties can
be net nicely.
Ice cream manufacturers desire a
thin cream. testing about IS per cent.
fat, and this, Of course, leaves less
skimmilk on the farm than when a
highest cream is marketed, but the
better price received for the sweet
cream is usually enough to pay for
this and the extra trouble.

Not REQUIRED to Kiss Bible.

The president Of the United States
Is not required to kiss the Bible On
taking the oath of office. The custom
grew out Of the fact that an early law
Of Maryland made that ceremony part
Of legal oath, and the custom was
continued in the District Of Columbia,
but it IS not essential, nor is any par
ticular form Of oath. Jews are sworn
on the Pentateuch, keep on their hats
and conclude their oath with 80 help
me Jehovah" and II Jew were elect
ed president he would be permitted to
tS5e the oath Of Office in that form.
