A CREAMERY FOR LANCASTER.
Clemson College May Establish Ono
Here

Mr.. l.. C. Lazenby is interesting
himself in the establishment of n
creamery in Lancaster county. He
says one farmer has promised to
furnish the cream from ten COWS in
case the route is established and
passes by his place. The plan is to
have creamery at a convenient
point and route established by the
plantations of those who will sell the
cream, which will be taken up daily
by the carrier. Mr.. Lazenby is in
receipt of the following letter from
Clemson College on the subject:
Mr.. l.. G. Lazenby,
Lancaster, S. C.
Dear Sir:-I have yours of the
14th in which you request informa-
tion as to the establishment of a
cream route. I do not know whether
1t would be practical to establish a.
cream route at Lancaster at present
as we have no creamery within your
reach. However, we expect to es-
tablsh one or two creameries in the
near future and one Of these will
probably be placed in reach of your
people. If this makes the establish
ment of route practicable 1 will be
glad to call on you and assist you in
any way in the working up of this
route. 1t is necessary to get rs to
100 cows in a territory which could
be covered by driver in one day to
make the establishment of a route
possible. Do you think this would be
possible in Lancaster? II so will
be glad to hear from you.
You're very truly,
w. w. FITZPATRICK,
Dairy Agent.

SOUTHERN POLITICS.

Lay the jest about the julep In the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened and the
olden days are past;
That which makes Milwaukee thirsty
does not foam in Tennessee:
And the lid on old Missouri is as tight
locked as can be;
For the eggnog now Is nogless and
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carna-
tions, and the South, "by Gawd,
sir" 8 dry.
BY the still side on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must
be dipped up from the rill,
Nth China stately ruler gives his
Cola" glass a shove
Ana discusses local option with the
South China Gov.
For the mint beds mako q pasture
and the corkscrew hangeth high,
And the cocktail glass is dusty and
the South. "by Gawd. sir" g
dry.
All the nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head,
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
When the Colonel and the Major and
the General and the ledge
Meet to have little nip to give their
appetite an edge,
Now each can walk a cha,K une when
the stars are In the sky,
For the fizz glass now ia fizziess. and
the South ''by Gawd, SIR e dry.
Though she still has nrattv women
and her horses still are fast.
"Ole Kentucky's" crowpiug glory IA
a mem'ry Of the past;
Now the partisans OF "straigbt
goods" and the ''rectifed" speak
well,
For what's the use OF sc~appinp

In those lonely tasse,ed correnids all

bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and MANY people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time. 1t is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and cam
now be had at all leading drug stores.

Meeting of the Library Association
Discloses Some Interesting Facts
About the Institution.
The following interesting facts rel
ative to the increased interest in the
public library were brought out at
the meeting Of the Library Associa-
ton at the home of the president,
Mrs. E. T. Jordan, Friday afternoon.
There are now 263 adult members
and 124 Juveniles; out-of-town read
ers, 40; number of books in the Ii
brary, 2,345; since the opening of the
Carnegie building Oct. 8, 1914, the
number of adult books of fiction TAX
en- out, 1902; non-fiction. IA; juven-
lie books of fiction taken out, 1,494;
non-fction, 113; total, 4,773; maya
zines distributed, 218; amount col
lected on overdues and damage to
books. 1855.
Among the most popular authors
may be mentioned Florence Barclay,
Kate Bosher, Marie Daviers, Will
Hardin, Harold Bell Wright, Cora
Harris, Eleanor Porter, Gene STRAIT
ton, Porter Harold Bindloss, B. M.
Bower, Rex Beach, John Read Scott.
Myrtle Reid, Grace Richmond, John
Fox, Harriet Comstock.
The following periodicals are to be
found on file: Review of Reviews,
Cosmopolitan, American, McClure's,
Confederate Veteran, Ladies' Home
Journal, Woman's Home Companion,

son News.
The management again would en-
phasize the Importance of quiet in the
library Loud talking and converse
tions in the reading room defeat the
very purpose for which it was built,
and cause much annoyance to the
studiously inclined. It is well known
by those who have visited other Ii
braries that such confusion would not
be tolerated. Those having the in
terests of the of the Dawson library
at heart feel that a simple request is
all that is necessary to bring about
an improvement at once.

MAY HOLD COUNTY FAIR
LADIES OF LIBRARY ASSOCIA-
TION DISCUSS IT'S FEASIBILITY
Are Planning Ways and Means to
Make the Success of Such a Move
ment This Fall Possible.

ment This Fall Possible.
The large attendance at the regu-
lar quarterly meeting of the Library
Association Friday afternoon showed
the members to be wide-awake to the
interests of the organization and
ready for any forward movement
looking to the public good. The
apartments of the president, Mrs. 3.
T. Jordan, were attractive with
spring flowers and aglow with
warmth and hospitality. Many mat
tiers of import were considered and
reports showing the activities of the
different committees were heard with
pleasure and profit. The most alb
sorbing feature of the meeting was
the open discussion of ways and
means by which a county fair might
be the special work for this year. The
unusual financial conditions make it
necessary for those vitality interested
to go cautiously into any scheme in
volving outlay of funds, and yet those
who have looked the matter over
carefully feel that we cannot afford to
let the opportunity pass another year
to enlist the people in movement
that means so much to the county.
Though nothing definite can be given
out just at this time, it is suggested
that the teachers of the entire coun-
ty plan their work so as to be ready
to contribute their part should plans
for the fair materialize. There is al
ready manifested widespread inter
est, but substantial guarantees are
essential to make the holding of a
fair worth while.
The association would feel the
pulse of the people before launching
the movement. You who have aided
so materially in the past say if you
think a county fair could be success
fully carried through this fall.
At the close of the business ses-
sion an informal social hour with the
teachers as guests of honor proved
very enjoyable. Coffee and chocolate
and sandwiches were served, the
hostess being assisted in the enter
tainment of her guests by Mrs. Frank
Clark, Mrs. Roy Smith and Miss Ken
drick.
