AT ~ANTREVILLE.

Miss Martha Platt went up to An
trevlle last Wednesday and attended
the big picnic. Miss jamie Darlington
came down from Anderson and gave
the crowd a practical talk on the
home demonstration work. During
the day, for the benefit of the ladies
present, Miss Plat and Miss CARING
ton made a f~ireless cooker and cook
ed a piece of roast which they served
to the many interested spectators.
The ladies of the county are much
interested in the cookers as demon
strated by Miss Platt and an easier
time is ahead of those who have one
in their home.
Antreville is one of the banner
communities of the county and the
picnic Wednesday was a successful
and pleasant affair.
DR.. James P. Kinard and A. H.
Dagnall, of Anderson, were among
the distinguished men present and
made speeches.

A CAVALRY OFFICER.

The big smoke which passed down
Greenville street on horseback Tues
day morning was not Won linden
burg. 1t was the poor mans friend,
who sells furniture for cash or cred
it, at the furniture emporium on
Upper Main. The friend of the poor
man has not been well in sometime;
In fact he has been having indiges-
ton yer since Mrs. Kerr left for the
summer, when he commenced taking
meals with uncle Jim. He suffers a
little with indigestion when he eats
at home.
The fact is that like John D. and
other "malefactors of great wealth"
and big business, the Colonel will
never be able to eat a square meal
again, and feel like himself. Persons
who have their minds concentrated
on any great movement, or object,
cannot eat as do people who live and
die easy. Being impressed with his
mission Of supplying the poor with
good furniture at reasonable prices,
and in this field being sine only real
and efficient champion" which the
poor have, the colonel is bending
every effort to see that all the peo-
pie have as much furniture as he can
get off on them.
And because he is so impressed
with his mission in life he has like
the others become a victim of dys-
pepsia. But Notwithstanding this
the colonel looks as great a cavalry
man as his distinguished cousin, Joe
Wheeler, and he sits on a horse with
the ease and dignity of General Lee
himself.
The Colonel will dine with uncle
Jim again next Sunday, unless in
the meantime, he leaves for the
mountains.

KEEP THE BABIES WELL
Flies and Heat May Make Baby Sick
This Season.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
During the months of May and
June the baby death rate begins 10
climb, reaching its height in July and
August. It should not be forgotten
that this is the season when babies
should be given the greatest ARE and
attention in order to keep them we'll.
There are two causes demanding this
heat and flies. Heat is depressing.
It increases every danger that baby
IS disposed to. If there is lack IF
cleanliness about baby or baby's
things, heat increases it and makes
it harder to bear; if baby lives in
stuffy air, heat makes it sickening
and uncomfortable; if its food is not
handled with greatest cleanliness and
care, heat makes greater its infec-
ton and therefore increases its dan
ger to baby's health and life. 80.
Then there are flies. Flies are ba-
by's greatest enemy. They should
never be allowed to come in contact
with baby itself, or its food, or ally
Of its playthings. They carry num-
erous diseases but are the main car
-iers of d%iarrhoeal diseases commonly
L.nown as "baby summer complaints.
The baby death rate from this dis
ease climbs especially high during
these months. And strange as it
may seem to some mothers this is a
preventaEole disease, though it may
sometimes be carried in impure wa
ter and milk. The mother there
fore would be safe in giving her child
only pasteurized milk and an abun-
dance of cooled boiled water, and in
keeping it from flies and t~ly-infected
food. To keep the baby well will be
worth all the pains and more.-North

A woman believes in platonic af-
lection until she gets old enough to
know better.
And many a man squanders so
much coin on his ideals that he can't
afford to marry.
A compound fracture of the neck
is said to be the only ure cure for
the grumbling habit.
To talk is 5000 per cent. easier
than to find some one willing to lis
ten.
As a matrimonial bait, however, a
dimple in a girls cheek is worth
more to her than a cooking school
diploma.
A woman laughs when she is in
love probably for the same reason
that a timid man whistles-merely to
keep up her courage.

NOTES ON THE SEEDING
OF WINTER LEGUMES
The Progressive Farmer.

The Progressive Farmer.
Many failures with crimson and
bur clover are due to too deep cover
ing of the seed. 1t is therefore safer
TO cover both very lightly and depend
en- getting enough moisture to bring
them up. The seed of crimson clov-
yer terminate and come up quickly
if they have moisture. We have had
80 per cent terminate in 40 hours
and rs per cent of seed in the. chaff
terminate in three days.
For planting in cotton, which is
more generally free of weeds, we be-
lieve best results will usually be OBJ
tanned by sowing the seed and cover
ing with the lightest sort of harrow
ing or brushing, depending on show
crs to terminate the seed.
Much crimson %clover-seed will be
Gown in the chaff this fall throughout
the South. There are two points to
be observed in using home grown
seed in The chaff; First, enough must
be used to insure IL to Is pounds,
preferably the latter, of good clean
seed per acre. To do this will require
from rs to 40 pounds of seed in the
rhaff, according to the amount of
straw and leaves in the chaff. If
clean seed in the hulls, or if only the
.hulls and seed within them constitute
the material used, probably rs
pounds will give fully Is pounds of
seed. The second point which we
fear may be the cause of disappoint-
ment with home-raised seed is that
immature seed seem to terminate
very slowly.
Under the same conditions under
which 80 per cent Of machine hulled
seed terminated in 40 hours and rs
per cent of mature seed in the hulls
terminated in three days !, we have
found So days only sufficient to ger
inmate 60 per cent of a sample Of i'm
mature seed, and after even that Pc
Rod an occasional one of these imma-
-ure seed continues to terminate. If
the seed were not allowed to mature
we'll, or if they r not plump and
large, we suggest an extremely large
amount of these seed in the chaf be
used. While tests of we'll matured
homegrown seed have given a fairly
good termination, either hulled or
unhulled, we fear that much of the
seed saved was not well matured, and
N such case slow termination and
faulty stands are almost certain to
occur unless a liberal quantity of
seed is used.
We do not advocate the sowing of
retch alone. Unless sown with some
.uch crop as oats, wheat or barley, it
falls down and much less satisfactory
results are obtained. 1t may be sown
under the same conditions found best
fer these crops.
When anything like a good stand
Of bur clover is obtained, a very
large quantity of burs, or seed in the
hurs, must be used. In fact, COM
plete or even fairly complete stands
Of bur clover are difficult to obtain
at the first seeding except on small
areas, under most favorable ,condi-
tons, and by a very liberal use of
seed. If, however, the seed in the

BRADLEY-WIDEMNN CLAN.

~ IHSSIlIlS VI iiS OboNtS ~
Wideman families with all connec-
tons, by affinity, consanguinity, and
marriage, was called for last Satur-
day, the 18th, at Little Mountain
mineral spring, in this county.
Considering the short and informal
notice, the attendance was very good,
something over a hundred; though
this is perhaps less than one-ffth of
those who probably would have at
tended if fuller notice had been CIV
en-. AS it was, Abbeville city, Troy,
Nc Cormick, Mt. Carmel, Due West,
and Bellevue had their representa-
tives, while a few who have strayed
from the fold to such places as
Clemson College, Atlanta and Wash
ington City, were welcomed again
into the family circle.
A delightful picnic dinner
and a spring of sparkling mineral
water contributed much to the pleas
ure of the occasion. -
The ancestors of the Bradleys in
Abbeville county, came to America
about 16O years ago, settling first on
the Hudson River in New York State.
They came from County Antrim,
Ireland, and from information OBJ
tainable it seems that they were orr
ginally Catholic in religion.
The Widemans are Of German de-
scent. They came to this country
only a little later than the Bradleys,
landing at Charleston, and working
their way to the up country. The
descendants of these two families,
who have inter-married with the
Morrahs, the Wardlaws, the Kenne-
dys, the Fosters, the Nc Caslans, the
p~ressleys, and the Liteses, and with
each other, thorugh several genera
tions, constitute a large per cent of
the people in lower Abbeville county.
1t is likely a reunion OF these some
families, and connections will be held
annually at Little Mountain Spring.
At the next meeting a Patriarch will
be selected as governor and director
of the tribes. Such an election
would have been held on last Satur.
day, but as the candidate passes on
his own qualifications, and age is the
test, there were no entries.
There are many solemn duties that
would devolve on the patriarch so
chosen. Primarily he would require
his young men to bring a pig, and
perchance, a lamb up into the noun
tain to be dressed and roasted for
the feast. And then he would see
to it that his young men used nothing
stronger than the mineral water to
wash down the feast.
The day passed pleasantly at Lit
tie Mountain and it is a compliment
to those present that no modern &C.
cessaries to the picnic dinner, such as
cards and light drinks were in evil
dence. Before parting in the after,
noon a quintette of male voices, sang
old familiar songs, which were echoed
and re-echoad through the ~encircling
woods.
Little Mountain spring is delight
fully suited for gatherings of this
kind, and it is probable that all fu-
ture reunions of the Bradley Wide
man families and connections, will be
held there.
