A Market for Hay.

The Chamber of Commerce of
Rock Hill is at this time working
in cooperation with the Southern
Railway to find a market for the
hay our farmers have on hand.
In order to get the best price for
this hay it is necessary to have
it we'll cured and we'll baled.
1t is desired to find out just
how many bales. and the kind,
we will be able to furnish them
by January Is, and in order to
do this it will be nscessary for
anyone with hay on hand they
wish to sell to communicate the
fact to the secretary of the Rock
Hill Chamber of Commerce, Mr..
W.. r. Timmons. Be sure to
state the amount and kind, and
remember that nothing but we'll
cured hay can be sold.

As a Clemson Cadet Sees 1t.

Soon we will hear the time
worn pleasantries of the happiest
season of all the year-and we
will all rejoice again. Of course,
the Freshman looks forward to
Christmas time as the greatest
time of his life, for he is to taste
the joys of home coming for the
first time and it is but natural
that he is most jubilant. Per-
haps this is the first time that
he has been away from the loved
ones at home for so long a time,
and all the more does long dis
tance make the heart grow
fonder.
And what of the seniors and
underclassmen who have slipped
of this fountain of Joy before?
Perhaps the conditions brought
about by the war will have de-
pressing effect on all and many
are inclined to look forward to
more or less dreary time. Cheer
up, kind reader, for we are going
to have one of the best times
ever.
Soon we will sit by the family
fireside, engaged in happy talk
talk about the months which
have fitted by so quickly. We
shall not think about the coin
that fails to jingle in our jeans"
or the new suit of clothes that
fails to adorn our person. No,
indeed! All that we have to do
to have one of the happiest Xmas
vacations of all times is to give
ourselves wholeheartedly to the
pleasant task of making others
happy by our pleasant words and
actions. We need never discuss
the war and how bard it is hit
ting us-just forget it for the
time. Be joyful and merry and
make those about you happy.

must have had Fort Mill in mind
when he wrote the following:
The wars effects have been
felt no more severely in Char
lotte than in any other city in
America, and not half as badly
as in many of them. We have
in mind now a city whose prin-
cipal business depends upon one
particular industry. That in
dustry is demoralized. and the
result is the bulk of the popula-
tion of that city is out of work.
There is a city in infinitely
worse condition than Charlotte. /"

to be heard a medley OF sounds and

The region down in Florida known

available for cultivation, although it
is understood that an attempt is be-

territory. The region is 10 miles
long and 60 wide, the water being
from one to six feet deep, studded
thickly with ridges, or islands, from
one-fourth OF an acre to hundreds of
acres in extent. Out of the water
grows a rank grass, from six to ten
feet high. The vegetable deposits of
the Everglades are enormous, and be-
