News and Views From Pisgah.

Pisgah, Jan. 15.-From spring to
winter within twenty-four hours with
out the least weather disturbance was
what we experienced last SATURDAY. to
sunday. This shows the wonderful
changes our climate is now subject 10.
The weather for some time has been
hne for hog killing and nearly all
hogs have been butchered. From
what | can hear greater efforts will be
made TO increase the hog crop more
than has been made in the past. The
coming of the boil weevil should put
our people on guard to meet it by not
depending on cotton for everything
Some work Is being done on the
farms. Labor is scarce and high and
what Is to hire is of the poor kind.
| think the staple crops will be about
as last year. With greater attention
TO corn than heretofore. Much at
tention has been paid to corn for
some years, and as q result the white
people here have enough to do them
ana some corn to spare. This is
much better than to buy western corn
Mr.. E. Il. Hemberts new home is
about finished. 1t is a pretty build
ing built Of concrete and erected ON
the same place where his other house
was burned. An inspection of it
shows that it is conveniently ar
ranged and up-to-date.
Miss Madgc Rogers spent Saturday
and sunday in Sumter visiting her
cousin. Mrs. B. l.. Montague and 9TH
er relatives.
If some of the editors in this state
would read the speeches and criticisms
OF Mr.. Mann in the Congressional
Record they would see how to answer
argument and criticism without be-
ing personal. He is the brilliant Re-
publican minority leader.

General Summary of Weather COndi-
tiOns During the Year 1913.

Columbia, Jan. 15.-The year 1918
was somewhat warmer than the av-
crage. The opening month was
mild, with a mean temperature but
slightly below that OF the warmes;
January in 1890. Temperatures con-
unued above the seasonal average
until the close of March, followed by
series of monthly deficiencies and
eXcesses until the close Of August
with two notable periods of enervat-
ing heat in July. The autumn months
were cooler than usual, and the win
ter of 1913-14 opened mild.
The last general spring killing frost
occurred on March %; autumn killing
frosts occurred over wide areas of the
section on October % and November
10. The average latest spring kill

March of 1891. and heavy rains from
The 18th to the 10th were followed by
general floods in the Santee and Pee
Dee river systems, attended by much
unavoidable damage to property, as
mentioned elsewhere. \ peculiar alb
scncc of ample or well distributed
rainfall in the middle and lower Sa-
vannah drainage area and in many
of the interior and coast counties
marked the period between the close
of March and the close of Septcm-
Der: as n consequence, these districts
show general deficiency of precipita-
ton for the year, while excuses were
quite general in the northern coun-
ties and in the northeastern coast dis
tricts. Moderate frcshcts in the Wa
tcrcc and Santcc rivers i'm September

4 inches

BUILD CHURCH BY NAY FIRST.
Washington Street Baptist Church
Building To he Completed Earlier
Than Expcctcd-To Launch $4,000
Campaign.

Work on Washington Street Bap-
ust Church is progressing with sur
prising rapidity. The contractor says
that his plans are to complete the
work before May ist. This Is several
months earlier than the church has
expected. While they are rejoiced ut
the thought OF having their new
house so much earlier than they had
hoped. they are greatly concerned
about the increased financial burden
which the early completion Of the
work involves.
About $1,000 have already been
paid. Plans by which n goodly sum
will be borrowed will materialize in
month or two. But i'm addition 10
oil this. the church Is face to face
with the problem of raising $1,000
more by February. Conditions are
much worse than when the preacher
was coming 20 the little boys house
and meat was out. Its more than a
gopher.
OF course the amount will be rails
ed. What is right and must be. will
be. But whether the work OF raising
IL will be very hard or fairly easy de-
pends on the enthusiastic co-opera-
tion OF every member and many kind
friends. The way looks little dark,
but lie who has directed SO far will
not leave his work alone Plans are
now on foot which II is believed will
bring success. but II is very neces-
sary that all members and friends Of
the church should be familiar with
them. To the many yet unpaid and
unmade subscriptions of the members
and tho many voluntary promises Of
Kind friends on the outside. the eyes
OF the church are now hopefully turn
ed.
Full announcement of the prospec-
tive campaign for the Five Thousand
will be made at the church tomor-
row. This will he followed by more
particular announcements in the pa
pcrs next week.

MOON DEF|ES PRESIDENT.
HEAD or POSTOFFICE COMMIT
TEE FAvORS ASSISTANT POST
MASTER CLAUSE.
Thinks They should not Come under
Civil Service and Attacks Wilson's
Position-Spcaks Harshly OF Dip
lomatic Corps.

washington, Jan. 15.-Dehance of
administration disapproval Of the
postoffice appropriation bill because
the provisions exempting all the D.
400 assistant postmasters in the coun-
try from civil service was voiced in
the house debate on that measure
today by Representative Moon of Ten
nessee. chairman OF the postoffice
committee. He attacked the Amer
ican diplomatic corps as "a supernuous
appendage of the republic" and "a
gang Of political reprobates and So
eiety degenerates that we ought to
wipe out of existence"
AIR. Moon said he had received q
letter from Postmaster General Burle-
son saying the president did not ap-
prove the section regarding assist
ant postmasters.
This committee Is not here to bow
TO the will of the president or OF the
postmaster general on q question on
which they differ" he said. NO dom
ination of the postmaster general OF
threat OF veto from the president
ought to swerve us from the course
we believe to- be right. The views of
the president and the postmaster gen.
sral. however. much as l respect
them. certainly will not control me
In my vote"
Suggesting the possibility OF over
riding n veto OF the bill. Mr.. Moon
said he would have none but Dem
ocrats on guard in the administration
OF the government.
IF you wanted to make n mon
archy of the republic" he added. "all
you would have To do would be TO APP
ply the civil service to congress, the
president and his cabinet"
Representative Moon declared the
consular service consisted OF all Re-
pubiicans.
mo man who Is not worth into mil
lions OF dollars can hold a position
In one OF the great courts of Europe
as ambassador or minister" he con-
tinued. Must the leaders of society
with the false glare and glitter OF
their position, falsely represent the
sentiment of the American people?
Your whole diplomatic corps, in
the interest of economy and good gov
ernment. ought to be abolished-the,
are OF the house of lords OF the
United States They form a distinct
class that scarcely pay any regard to
senator's who vote their confirmation
when once they have approached the
throne OF royalty" he said.
Representative Steenerson OF Min
nesota also spoke. attacking the as.
sistant postmasters section.

NATIONAL APPLE DAY IS TUES
DAY-APPLE NEWS
BY R. J. cOyne.
National Apple Day occurs tomor-
row and is now a permanent insti-
tuition. 1t is the day~of cheer and all
are invited to join in it's festivities.
There are many reasons why Ma
tiOnal Apple Day should be encOur-
aged.
First of all, apples are a valuable
commercial commodity and aid to-
ward the nations wealth when they
are grown and distributed scienti-
ficaIly.
Second, their health value is I'M
questioned. Even with the knock
given the doctor by the old time
sIogan-"An apple a day keeps the
doctor away'-the doctor has many
good words to say OF the medicinal
value of the apple. The modern slo-
"health's best way, eat apples
every days a more pleasing truth.
The PHOSPHORUS in the apple is con-
sideTed a great aid to brain workers,
particularly is apples are eaten on re-
firing at night From an economical
standpoint a box or a barrel of nice
juicy apples will satisfy and please
more persons than any other article
of food or luxury with which you can
entertain them. From the humblest
of humanity, to the millionaire, king
or queen, the apple will be accepted
from the barrel or box without the
use of golden or silver platter, and
such is the dignity of the apple, King
of Fruits"
So many good things can be said
of the virtues of the apple, why not
keep a nice box of apples near your
desk and your cigar bill will be less? |
Even the other fellow who is ac-
customed to the use of strong drink
will change when weaned to the lib |
eral use Of apples. Prohibitionist |
