Anderson, Nov. ia crowd of
more than 5000 persons gathered on
Cater ath letic field this afternoon to
witness the parade of the artillery
corps. All five companies partici-
pated.
Major Robertson ana all commits
stoned officers of the corps were en-
tertained by General Manager Ligon,
Of the Gluck and Equinox mills, at

back to their homes. Major Robert

"he Governor stated that he would
reach a decision early tomorrow. In
his conversation with the Governor
Major Robertson expressed it as his
opinion that it would be necessary to
retain some soldiers at the Equinox
md Gluck mills until the Legislature
convenes. The people Of the city who
re in close touch with the conditions
concur in this opinion, and it is un-
lerstood to keep some soldiers here

future as far as possible are averted.
Investigating Fire.
Major Robertson instituted an in
Vestigation of the burning of a ne

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Wilson today, formally, by proclama-
ton, designed Thursday, November
80, as Thanksgiving Day.
Here follows the Presidents proc
lamation:
ut has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful au-
tumn of the year in praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for
His many blessings and mercies to
us and the nation.
"The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as a people, but the whole face of
the world has been darkened by war.
In the midst of our peace and happi-
ness, our thoughts dwell with painful
disquiet upon the struggles and suf-
ferlngs of the nations at war and of
the peoples upon whom war has
brought disaster without choice or
possibility of escape on their part.
"We can not think of our own hap
piness without thinking of their pitt
full distress.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
Of America, do appoint Thursday, the
3oth of November, as a day of ma
tlonal thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to resort
to their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to AL
mighty God for the blessings of peace
and unbroken prosperity, which He
has bestowed upon our beloved coun-
try in such unstinted measure.
"Ana l also urge and suggest our
duty in this, our day of peace and
abundance, to think lin deep sympa-
thy of the stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and ter
ror of war has so piteously fallen
and to contribute out of our abund-
ant. means to the relief of their suf=
ferings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude toward the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abund-
ance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in it's twain.
"lnWitness whereof, l have here
INTO set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 18th day of November, in the
year of our Lord, 1916, and of the
independence of the United States
the 141st

Reply--Orange trees may be cul-
tivated with light harrow through
the. winter and spring to conserve the
moisture. They should not, however,
be plowed after October 1, for as
long as orange trees are plowed, they
will continue to grow and send out
new sprouts, and that is the last
thing to be desired in the winter
time. Cultivation with light har-
row may be made every rain. AS
soon as the rainy season begins sow
some leguminous crop, such as cow
peas or velvet beans, in the grove.
They will make a quick growth and
furnish enough humus and nitrogen
to supply the grove the rest of the
year. In the fall, however, this legu-
minous crop should be turned under,
and clean culture begun once more.
The best time to trim trees is Just be-
fore they start their spring growth.
Gut out all of the dead wood. In
the rainy season cut off all of the
suckers as fast as they appear. They
will not bear fruit, and only waste
the sap.

Washington Mucl} Disturbed Over
Torpedo of Arabic.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Announce-
mnent by the semi-official Overseas
News Agency that Germah subma-
rine. sank the British liner Arabia
made deep impression in official
quarters here today, and apparently
removed all possibility that this case
might take its place with that of the
Persia, sunk in the Mediterranean
!ong. ago and never cleared up. The
British admiralty said the Persia was
torpedoed without warning, but none
of the Central Powers would admit
responsibility for it.
Officials were loath to discuss the
matter in the absence of official in
formation, which it is understood is
being sosught from all sources. Some
of them expressed surprise, however,
chat the attack upon the Arabia had
been officially admitted. 1t was
suggested that the Overseas News
Agency dispatch might mean that
Germany was preparing to make a
test of the "armed ship" controversy
with the United States, or that in
some way minor official, hostile to
chancellor Won Bcthmann- II Hillweg's
submarine policy, might have allowed
the dispatch to get out, seeing in it
IN opportunity to force the issue. It
las been known here for some time
that Germany would make a bitter
ight against the defensive arming
of merchant ships.
The contention that the Arabia was
IN armed transport because she car
lied fifteen-centimeter gun and had
Workmen and ammunition aboard, is
not regarded here as being justified
in the slightest degree. The ship was
Peninsular and Orient passenger
Iner, with many passengers aboard.
There was one American on his way
from India. He has made an aflida-
VT which has been forwarded to the
State Department.
So far as can be learned the de-
partment has heard nothing in re-
ply to its request for Germany's ver-
sion of the sinking OF the British
steamer Marina, on which six Ameri
cans lost their lives, received no war
rant action in any of the other pend
ing cases,

10 Keep Sweet Potato Vines

don't know of anything that is
more essential and profitable to a
farmer than to save sweet potato
vines in the fall for use in the COM

is very simple and has proven a sue
cess when carefully carried out:
Take four pieces of timber an inch
or an inch and half thick, about
four inches wide and cut them about
four feet long. Take an auger that
will bore hole one incn or large and
bore holes in the pieces of timber
about two inches apart and leave
about foot at one end without holes.
Now nail all pieces together and you

long. Stand this up where you want
to keep your vines and have the end
without holes up. Now, take the
vines one at time and wiiid them
around the box, bringing it up just
as you would bank of potatoes.
When you have placed as many vines
as you care to keep, cover them with
a layer of boards, cover this with a
thin layer of straw ana then cover

Reply-You can leave the tnrnips
in the ground, and market them
through the winter from the field.
We should not try to save the tops
through the winter, however, but cut
them off and turn couple of fur
rows over the turnips to be sure that
the upper part of the turnips is
not exposed.
A good way to save seed potatoes
for the next season is 70 pack them
in dust or sand. Put a layer of fine
sand in the bottom Of the box. Then
put in a layer of potatoes, and con-
tinue the process until you have
enough saved.

Reply-We think that crimson
clover will make a very good crop
for your section.
You do not want to sow the seed
with quicklime. In fact, you should
not use quicklime at all, but ground
!imeston rock. You sholld broadcast
ton or more Of this ground rock
over your land right away, before
starting to plant. and harrow it in
If you have green cntch crop on
your land, broadcast the limestone
right over the crop, and doubledsc.
Salt is of no value as fertilizer and
will only add to your expense.
After you have the limestone har
rowed in. you can begin to SOW your
clover Use from 12 to Is pounds
to the acre, and put in with drill
if you can.
Fertilizer is not needed with Grim
son clover. Kainit is about the most
expensive fertilizer you can buv.
You can Craze stock on cri ason
clover at any time after it has a
good start. We would not advise
turning cows or horses into it while
the dew is on. 1t might bloat them.

Onions are not good crop for yor
