BRAIN and BRAWN.

The other day we told about the
Indiana girl who built her own
house-a nice little bungalow; do.
ing all the carpentering aud ma.
sorry work herself.
Now comes along boy of
whom We are equally proud.
His name is Dewey Haiues; and
he lives on farm near Arcanum.
Ohio, and he's only II years old.
Dewey started in last fall to
show his grown-up neigh Dor
farmers what could be done with
land. He picked out five acres
and sowed it 20 wheat. He had
studied the problems of soil and
seed before this. The knowledge
gained helped make Dewey the
best farmer in Ohio this year.
OF course, he worked hard and
long with his land; a farmer has
to do that if he wants to get any
kind of a crop at all. But that
hard work com bined with know.
ing his soil and his seed resulted
in Dewey Haines harvesting SIS
2-3 bushels per acre from his little
farm. When you stop and think
that the wheat average per acre in
the whole United States is just
little over Is bushels, then you
begin to realizs that this boy can
we'll pin a few medals on himself!
Yes, this is the. same lad who
won the boys corn record three
years ago. AT that time he beat
the mems corn record by raising
139 bushels of corn per acre.

Editor The Daily Item:

Editor The Daily Item:
With your permission l desire to call
the attention Of great many of your
readers, who will be interested, to the
Santee Summer Assembly to be held
this year at Bethel church, one mile
from Privateer station on A. c. L.
railroad, and eight miles southwest
from Sumter. The date of meeting
will be July 26th-3Oth.
This assembly has been held an
nually at Bethel church for several
years. 1t has afforded a splendid OPP
portunity for the people far and wide
to meet for social pleasure and re-
ligious instruction. The program has
always been of a high order. This
year is to be no exception, as an eX-
ceptionally fine program is now being
arranged and will appear in a few
days.
The hours of meeting will be as
follows: Morning, 1O.3O-12.30; after
noon, Sc; evening, S.30-10. Many
people will come prepared to spend
the afternoon on the grounds and thus
enjoy the opportunity of mingling to-
gether in a social way.
Tents will be provided for all from
a distance who desire to occupy them
This has been one of the attractions
at past sessions. All tenters will be
furnished with meals close by and at
no cost. All who desire the use of
tents should notify Rev. VIM. Hayns-
worth, Sumter, r. F. d., without de-
lay; all who have tents will please
inform him, He should also have
names and date of arrival of visitors
who come on trains. Bethel may be
reached from Sumter, Privateer, or
Tindal.
For many who desire and need n
few days outing, and who are not
financially able to go far from home,
the assembly affords a splendid SUBJ
stitute. Bethel place and community
is beautiful and delightful, no more
hospitable people are to be found
anywhere. 1t is hoped that the people
of Sumter and Clarendon counties will
attend in large numbers. Those fur
ther away will receive a cordial well
come. Look for program in a few
days.

News and Views OF Pisgah.

Pisgah, July IA fine rain fell
here and i'm the surrounding sections
yesterday. This is in time for corn,
which Is very promir 'ng at this time.
1t certainly is a blessing that our
county will have bread another year.
Cotton is beginning to respond to
the fine weather of the last few
weeks.
There was little interest shown in
the election today. Very few voted
here. 1 guess the vote in the county
will be light.
The small grain crop at large IS
more than We have had for many
years.
Rev. Mr.. Cole Is carrying on a
meeting this week at Mizpah church.
Rev. Mr.. Tolar is helping him.
Pellagra is getting thick In the
county. but as yet 1 have heard Of no
deaths 1t Is remarkably strange
that the medical profession don't
know what II Is. or cannot find q
remedy for 1t. 1t was first believed
to be caused from eating corn bread,
but that was soon abandoned. So
they are Mt sea about 1t.
A few years ago nearly everybody
got scared to eat lean meat, which
was especially harmful on account of
germ in 1t that would get in your
blood and kill you. That theory was
soon abandoned. Our country every
now and then is subjected to some
scare of the food order.
/ wonder IL President Wilson will
have the backbone this year to aid
the cotton farmers I'm their fight to
get a living price for their cotton by
calling a halt on England's meanness.
Cleveland or Jackson would have told
her something a long time ago. A
government is not for the people If 1t
can't help them In sore distress and
chat Is just what the national govern
ment Is doing for the South today.
Not helping II a bit. We have just
as much right as neutral to trade
with Germany as we have with the
other warning nations. We are taxed
on account of this war and our people
are suffering In trade for the want OF
things We can't get except in Ger
many.
We are friendly with them all, and
we should have free passage 10
sell and trade with Germany like we
do with others. No, we must not
trade with Germany and the old lady
that Is causing IL all must be obeyed
and Wilson says yes.
