THE RAGE OF LIFE.
A Talk With the Bows.
Progressive Farmer.)

NIlOSISSSlSe FdIIleT.)
CRer. Dr.. Warren w. Wilson, au-
thor Of the talk this week, is one of
the most forceful of present-day
writers and speakers on rural prob
lens. He is in charge of the coun-
try church work Of the Northern
Presbyterian Church and author of
several notable books.)
Working Together.
|. Success in the future will depend
on working together. Therefore, the
boys OF to-day must learn obedience
and subordination to one another, in
order that as they grow up they may
cooperate. If farming is ever to be
a master occupation the farmers
must cooperate. find their own lead
ers. and stand by them
2. A sense OF honor and obliga-
ton is essential to success, for the
same reason. The farmer Of fifty
years ago needed to be independent
and had to decide everything for
himself. The farmer Of to-day needs
to deliberate and to remain faithful
to the agreement he makes with his
fellow-farmers.
2. Country boys must learn to
use the materials at hand. This is
the essence OF living successfully in
the country. You must be creator
You must take dirt and make Of it
living things and even human health
and courage.
1. The country boy must respect
himself and enjoy himself. Fe must
stand on his own feet. He must not
be afraid to be poor or to live close,
and he must know now to enjoy his
life as it is, and to think it the best
life in the world.

p. & N. CONDUCTOR LOST LIFE.
IL. &. Coleman Died from Injuries
Received In Accident.

Greenville, Sept. S.-R. G.. Cole
man, a freight conductor on the
Piedmont C Northern Railway, died
here early this evening at the city
hospital, as result Of injuries he
sustained in the railroad yards at
Belton. Mr.. Coleman according to
Information received here, was riding
in the caboose. The train was COM
ing to a stop. and he leaned forward
to uncouple. the air brake tube so as
to have this much done when the
train stopped, preparatory to shift
ing some cars. He lost his balance,
it seems, and fell to the tracks. The
front trucks Of the caboose passed
over both legs, and the wheel box or
some other part of the car struck
him in the stomach, causing internal
injuries which resulted in death
Both legs were crushed. The train
stopped a few seconds after Mr..
Coleman fell.
A special train running at tremen-
to Greenville. Two Belton physi-
clans attended him on the trip and
the special was met at Piedmont by
Greenville surgeon. Mr.. Coleman
was carried Immediately to the hos
pital, but medical skill could not
save him. His wife and sister-in-
law were taken to the hospital to
meet him. and, regaining conscious
ness, he spoke to them, bidding
them farewell. No children survive.
Mr.. Coleman, who was about 40
years Of age, had been in the service
Of the Piedmont & Northern for
something more than four years.
The accident which resulted in
death happened at 4.20 o'clock. He
died at 6.35 o'clock

Harvesting Peanuts.

When the vines turn yellow the
peanuts are ripe and ready for har-
vesting. Use common pillow stock
with solid sweep attached, to plow
them up. and shock them the day
they are plowed.
The proper way is to put the pea
nuts in small hand shocks, shaking
them thoroughly, so as to remove
the soil from the nuts and vines.
Build the shock in circular form,
about four feet high. gradually
rounding it to a cone shape. and
Gaping it with the vines so as to
keep out the rain. Remember to
turn the nuts inward and the vines
outward Leave small hollow run
ming up the middle OF the stack for
ventilation purposes. Let the pea
nuts remain in these shocks for two
or three weeks, after which time
they will be ready for the thresher.
BE sure that the place you select for
your shocks is one that water will
drain away from rather than to-
wards. Employing this method will
not only give peanuts OF tho best
quality, but the hay will be yalua-
Die for feeding purposes-about
equal to alfalfa.

OF childhood,
When fond female cousins present

The snubby-nosed infant, his thatch

And all the loathed limbs the pho

The tongue that poked out Of its

The obvious absence Of jacket and

The heels in the air, the southeastern

GREAT TRIP FOR DAIRYMEN.
Southern Railway Preparing for MI
tionnl Dairy Show ut Springfield.

Washington. Sept. 11.-Arrangc-
mcnts have been made by the South
| ern Railway to run a special train
carrying dairy farmers and others in
terested in the building up OF the
dairy interests in the South to the
National Dairy Show to be held Oc-
tober 1921 at Springfield, Mass, at
which the Southern will have an ex-
tensive exhibit giving a full prcscn
| tation Of tho South as dairy sec
ton at the present time and as a re-
gion for the future development OF
the dairy industry.
The idea of the special train from
the South to the dairy show, which
is held in the East for the first time
this year. is to give Southern dairy
farmers an opportunity to see how
the industry is conducted in the
North and to widen their outlook by
bringing them III contact with sue
cessful dairy farmers and dairy
workers from all parts Of the coun-
try, while a general attendance at
the dairy show on the part of South
ern dairymen is expected to do a
great deal to educate the people Of
the North as to the advantages of
the South for the industry.
Pullman cars will be started from
central points in each State and will
be made into solid train into New
York and to Springfield. The spe-
cial will start probably on Thursday.
October IL. reaching New York on
Saturday. October ii. Already
nearly a hundred dairy farmers To-
Gated from Virginia to Mississippi
have indicated ther intention to be-
come members Of the party. New
England people have contributed
$63O.00O for the erection of build
ings at the show and more than
900 pure blood dairy cattle Of the
various breeds will be on exhibit,
besides comprehensive collection of
the most approved implements and
y
the dairy industry.
In connection with the trip, ar
engagements are also being made for
stop-overs and side trips to allow the
Southern dairymen who go to visit
the most interesting milk-producing
centers OF the East, including the
naStenriyinm and distributing nl,ntc
at New York; the railroad ware
houses in Jersey City, where over
100000 quar- of milk are shipped
daily to New York by special milk
trains; the MiXter farm, an hours
ride from Springfield, famous for the
breeding Of pure bred Guernsey cat
tie, and Washington, where the party
will visit the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the Bureau
Of Animal Industry.

FIRST SESSION, 9th CONGRESS-,
Came to End Friday-Niuch Con-
structive Legislation.

Washington, Sept. 8.--The first
session OF tho Sixty-fourth Congress
adjourned at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing without a hitch in the plans Of
Senate and House leaders, and to-
night members were fastening home
ward for rest or the national politi-
cal campaign.
While the closing saw the admin
istration legislative program mainly
completed. something waits to be
continued at tho winter session, not
ably the remainder Of the Presidents
program Of railroad legislation.
which was partially enacted to pre-
vent the threatened strike.
In formal statement President
Wilson, speaking Of the work Of Con-
gress. gave notice that the remainder
Of the railroad program would be
pressed at the new session. His
statement was as follows:
"A very remarkable session of
Congress has just closed, full-as all
recent sessions Of the Congress have
bccn-of helpful and humane legis-
lation which constitutes contribu-
,ions Of capital Importance to the de-
Tense, the economic progress and the
wholesome life OF the country.
"It is to be regretted that the ses-
sion could not have continued long
enough to complete the program re-
Gently projected with regard to the
accommodation Of labor disputes be-
plOyces, but it was not feasible in the
circumstances to continue the session
any longer. and therefore only the
most Immediately pressing parts Of
the program could be completed.
''Thc rest, it is agreed, has merely
been postponed until it can be more
maturely deliberatod and perfected
have reason to believe that it is the
purpose Of the leaders Of the two
Houses, Immediately upon the reas-
sembling OF Congress. to undertake
dent that the country has been re-
lieved Of the anxiety which must
have been created by the recent
events with regard to the future ac-
commodation Of such disputes"
The immigration bill. the corrupt
practices bill and the bill to permit
combinations Of exporters to meet
70. cign competition abroad, went
over.
\ Quiet Time.
The closing hours OF Congress
were remarkably quiet. Only the
presence Of the Presidc<.t in his
room, near the Senate chamber,
served to attract interest in what
otherwise would have been an un-
cventful ending OF an eventful ses-
sion.
Informal conferences of few ad-
men turned after adjournment from
thoughts OF what had been achieved
to contemplation OF the future. No
matter what happens in the Noyem-
Der election, the Democratic Congress
has there months OF work ahead anu
an ambitious program to complete.
There was disappointment, but no
bitterness. over the failure Of some
measures during the long session,
and the Democrats are proud OF their
Legislative record. with it's $500, 0,O00.-
600 national defense appropriation,
the creation Of the farm loan board
and rural credits banking system,
the child labor law. the prevention
Of the nationwide railroad strike, es-
tablishment Of a government shi)-
ping board to rehabilitate the Ameri-
can merchant marine, creation OF a
Tariff commission and many other
legislative enactments Of more than
usual importance.
