FOR TWO COUNTIES is URGED.
Henderson and TransylNania Could
Unite in Demonstration Work to
Splendid Advantage.

The plan proposed through the Dem
Iocrat last week for d joint farm demon.
strator for Henderson and Transylva-
nia. counties was favorably received
by some who. have the demonstration
work close at heart and who realize
what a loss it will be to Henderson
county to lose this work.
While it would be o desirable to
have a full-time demonstrators in both
counties a half-time man would be
far better than o n and there are a
number of people who would like to see
this joint demonstration plan materi-
aIize.
Of interest in this connection is the
following letter from Secretary N.
Buckner of the AsheVille Board of
Trade:
"Asheville, N. c. Oct. %, 1915.

more than l loved the Sunday school
lessons, but l did not tell her so, and
l doubt if she ever suspected my de-

don't know if the kiss candy of
today, as it did in 1886 includes SEN
timental verses, which young folk Of
either sex may give to the other as
expression OF esteem, which expression
of esteem they may have been too
modest to speak, but away back in he
ffties of the last century, such things
were in existence. A young lady OF
the A. R. P. congregati"n in Newberry
on one occasion gave ne a verse which
read something like this:
"I'Il watch thy youth, III watch thy
age,
Till thou art called from this earthly
stage
These are simple lines, but in my
loneliness and my yearning for af-
fection, as we'll as my susceptibility to
kindness, is such that the remem-
brance of these lines is as fresh to-
day as they were on the day the verse
was handed to me- l presume, how
ever. that the young lady who was re-
sponsible for this act has long since
ceased her vigil.
In 1856, I joined the lodge of the
Sons of Temperance in Newberry, at
which meetings l had much pleasure.

son named Robert. Robert was a
handsome and lovable boy, and the
most expert stone-cutter that l ever
knew. Robert Leavell, l believe, still
lives and is now good citizen OF
Newberry. Judge O'Neall was mem
Der of the lodge at that time, and fre-
quently attended it's meetings. His
absence was always noted and regret
ted. He was looked upon with the
same reverence and respect as was Col.
J. R. Leavell.
Robert Land, druggist, was one of
the noble young men Of Newberry dur

By wining their game with the Sub marines in the Friday night bowling contest, the Strikers have concluded their schedule in the tournament series and have set a mark which will be difficult for the other teams to overcome The total for the nine sets is 22,177 pins. The score in the last game was, Strikers 2454. Submarines 2,3S5. The Sourdoughs at present have two games to play and have a total of 16,903 pins to their credit and in order to tie the Strikers must main- tain an average of 2637 pins which is a considerably higher average than
 has been developed by any of the terms so far The Federals will have to do even better in order to tie the leaders, their score at present with two games to play, is 16.6S3 pins and they must therefore roll 5494 in the two games or an average of 2747. The Submarines have also played seven games with a total of 16,494 pins and must average better than 2S41 pins in the remaining two games in order to win out Past averages considered, the Sourdough team is apparently the only one which has chance to tie or beat the record of the Strikers. FaXon Lewis. of the Strikers. has de- Veloped as the star player thus far and holds not only the high average but also the individual high score. He has bowled consistently throughout the series and his total for the nine games played is a fraction oyer 1S5 per game, high average for amateur play. His high score is 257 in one game.
