parents ought to. Mrs. Watson is at
the Anderson hospital.
Friday was such a bad day the
school postponed the debate, and had
1t Monday 1t was splendid for be-
ginners. Their subject subject was
Compulsory Education" The mega
tive and affirmative almost tied in
their arguments; but the judges de-
cided in favor of the Affirmative
Hopewell will surprise everyone
with a fine play at the school in the
near future. Watch out for It.
Several OF the farmers have gone
into the creamery business. They
think now it will pay better than sell
ing butter. The ones in this immed-
late neighborhood are, Messrs. Jno.
Duckworth, Will Martin, James
Mosley, +. NJ Ducworth, Lee We'll
borne. Enoch Wilson. Several 9th
ets will join in as soon as their cows
qee fresh in.
Some of the farmers have already
applied the soda to their grain. They
believe they are right applying II
early, for we read bulletin from
Clemson, on the experiments and re-
suits of fertilizing grain. 1t said,
putting il on early caused more
stalks to grow and that made more
grain, late applications only made a
larger stalk, so if it makes more
grain everyone ought to apply early.
The high price of flour won't alarm
the farmers in this section much
| longer, If we are permitted to make
Wheat, for almost every framer has
some sowed.
Good roads seems to be the most
important subject to be discussed
now. We are glad 10 hear it dis
cussed, for discussions always do
someone good. They will investigate
to be able to discuss.
Where Supervisor King worked
roads last year, or built and graded
them rather. has been almost impas-
sable this winter. but If every farm
er will use drag after each rain
this spring and summer, will have
the best roads this section of the
county has ever enjoyed, for it is an
enjoyment to ride over good roads
No one will deny the fact.
II everyone would be public spirit
ed, willing to do just little for
nothing, not be afraid of helping the
other fellow because you help your
self, one scrape one time, another
the next, one haul . few loads of
sand where needed, or gravel, clean
out a ditch that causes wash, we
would soon have fine roads in sum-
mer. OF conrse. they all get had in
long wet spells, but we are on the
upward road to better roads.
The friends OF Mr.. ]. w. White
will be glad to learn he is able to go
to ride. We all rejoice with him, for
he has been in many weeks. His
daughter, Mrs. Julia Webb and child
rem visited him Saturday and Sun
day.
Mrs. Annie Watson and Miss En-
mie Vandiver gave their mother
Mrs. W,u Vandiver surprise birth

day. She was oc visiting and they
got everything ready, sent her an in
! vitation TO coma home TO lit. They

Jolly fime. 1t 10 so .sweet to zee
young people try to give older ones
u pleasant time. We are all too ready
to say father or mother wouldn't
care for such a thing. We don't
know, let's more OF US try and see.
There's nothing that pleases grand
parents more than for someone to
go to trouble for them and show
their appreciation of them, if they
don't do too much. So let VIZ all try
to make all aged people we come III
contact with happy by some little
deed of kindness, or little word OF
love.
i was away from home once, pass
ed very old lady sitting in a roll
