FARM RECORDS

Farm records need not necessarily
be complex and difficult to be of value.
A yearly inventory, made on the first
of April or May, when supplies are
lowest, is in many cases sufficient, and
in all cases a great deal better, than no
attempt at businesslike records.
A comparison of inventories of a
years interval will show the loss or
gain for the whole farm, and in most
cases will show what departments
were the sources of loss or gain. This
valuable information will amply repay
any farmer for the small amount of
time necessary for the preparation of
ar inventory.
Farming must be conducted on bust
ness principles. Accurate records and
accounts are necessary in the proper
management of the financial side of
any business, and this is as true of
farming as Of any other. The time of
doing business by guess and by chance
is passed because of the increased cost
of production.-Chas. F. Schlatter,
Dept. Of Commerce, s. d. State College.

"'Pon my SOUL" was all that the
poor minister Of war, an adept in
strategy, was able to exclaim.
For some unaccountable reason Miss
Guile and her companion preferred to
travel alone to Paris. They had a
private compartment, owe which a re-
spectful, but adamantine, conductor
exercised an authority that irritated R.
Schmidt beyond expression. The rest
Of the train was crowded to its Ca
pacity, and here was desirable space
going to waste IN the section occu-
pied by the selfish Miss Guile. He
couldn't understand 1t in her. Was 1t,
after all. to be put down as a simple
steamer encounter? Was she DELHI
erately snubbing him. now that they
were on land?
1t was not until the boat train was
nearing the environs of Paris that
Hobbs threw some light over the sit.

became darker than ever before. It
appears that Miss Guile was met at
the landing by a very good looking
young man who not only escorted her
to the train. but actually entered 1t
with her and was even now enjoying
the luxury of a private compartment
as well as the contents Of a large
luncheon hamper, to say nothing of an
uninterrupted view Of something far
more inspiring than the scenery.

r. Schmidt again passed them by

ROAD CONDITIONS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT

Reports on road conditions from
E. J.. Watson, commissioner Of agri-
culture. show that there has been a
vast improvement during the last
three weeks. The improvement is due
in a small sense to repairs, but the
Improvement is largely attributable
to dry weather.
The Piedmont highway is now in
excellent shape, in fact it is in bet
ter condition now than it has been
for a long time. The Appalachian
highway was opened Saturday and
travel over this route has been re-
sumed, however, care must be exer-
cised in driving over it on account
of its running over the mountains.
The crossing between Fort Loman
and Lancaster is now in full opera
ton. This is an important connect
ing point between the two sections
of the State and is the first crossing
provided anywhere in South Caro-
lima since the floods. The route out
of Columbia to that section is via
Winnsboro, Chester, Richburg, Bas-
comville and Fort Loman. The roads
are in good shape and a traveller will
encounter little difficulty. This route
is at least 10 miles shorter than the
route that motorists have been using
since the flood between Columbia and
the Pee Dee section. A boat is now
being constructed for operation as
ferry over the Catawba at Camden
and will be in operation by the end
of this week.

WILSON TO URGE
RAILROAD PEACE

Washington, Aug. 13.-President
Wilson, deeply concerned over the
possibility that q general strike may
tie up the country's railroads, Is pre-
pared to make am insistent personal
appeal for an amicable settlement
when the representatives Of the roads
and their employees confer with him
tomorrow at the White House.
Since the situation became threat
ening the president has been in close
touch with developments and has
used every available agency of the
federal government to bring the two
factions together. He has taken no
stand on the merits Of the contro-
versy, however, and it is not expected
that he will do so at the conference
tomorrow. It is understood he will
reiterate the arguments set forth in
the communication delivered in New
York tonight by Secretary Tumulty
and will emphasize the far. reaching
effect q strike would have on the
whole country :" ~ q
\ The president is said to feel that
regardless of the points at issue, a
way still can be found for settle
ment without strike and the dis
turbance to other industries and in
to the general public
which would result. D.
Whether he will suggest any new
form of mediation, now that govern
ment agencies have been exhausted,
was not known tonight. n
No official comment on the situa-
tion was made at the White House
during the day. It was announced,
however, that the president will be
ready to see delegations as early to-
morrow as they could reach Wash
ington.

DECISION UPHELD
IN KAY MATTER
Final Decision in
Big Land Suit

The Supreme Court has filed an
opinion in the case Of Mrs. Emma J.
Sheffield ct al, VS.. Mrs. Irene r.
Craig involving the title to a tract
of land near Donalds valued at some
ten thousand dollars. The land be-
longed to Geo. H. Kay in his life
time and passed under his will, BY
which it is provided,-"I will to my
beloved wife, Jane Kay, for and dur
ing her natural life or widowhood,
my entire estate, both real and per-
sonal, my wife, Jane, to have the
right to dispose of any property as
she3may think best for the purpose
of paying all just debts or support
ing and maintaining herself and
, children while she remains my widow,
etc" After her death it is directed
that the estate be divided amongst his
children.
Jane Kay, soon after his death,
decided her life estate in these lands
to her two sons, Geo. w. Kay and
Charles B. Kay on the consideration
that they should support her and the
children during widowhood. Soon
thereafter the two sons reconveyed
to Jane Kay two hundred acres of
the, lands, including not only the
life estate, but their interest in re-
mainder and reversion. Jane Kay
then attempted to mortgage the
lands to E. n. Booker under the
power above recited from the will.
The land was sold under this mort
gage and bought by Greig and Mat
thews, who sold to Mrs. Irene +.
GrSig.
Geo. n. Kay and Jane Kay had
three other children and these chill
dren, on the death of their mother,
Jane Kay, claimed to have a three
fifths interest in this tract of land
under the gift to the children, by the
terms of the will, after the termina-
ton of the life estate, asserting that
Jane Kay had no power to mortgage
the, lands. They employed VIM. P.
Greene to bring suit for the same.
Tho case was tried before Judge F.
L. Wilcox, who rendered a'.decree
finding for the three, children three
fifths interest in the lands. From
this decree Mrs. Greig, who had sue
ceeded to the rights Of Greig and
Matthews, appealed. The decision
on this appeal was again in favor of
the three children. Mrs. Greig was
represented in the litigation by Grier,
Park & Nicholson, of Greenwood.

HUGHES ADDRESSES
- AUDIENCE OF WOMEN

Spokane, WASH, Aug. 14.-Chas.
E. Hughes today addressed his first
audience composed solely Of women
voters. They heard him in the first
of two speeches delivered here. Mr..
Hughes salutation of the women as
"feIlow citizens was applauded. He
told them he was interested in "good
national housekeeping" and the
means of effecting it.
Mr.. Hughes declared that he con-
sidered a protective tariff essential to
continuance of prosperity. "The
only chance that the present admin
istration has to carry this election,
he said, "is because the European
war has saved it from a demonstra-
ton of its ineficiency."

Lieutenant Selleck
a Palmetto Hero

Inotice in a recent Sunday Record
an article -"The Palmetto Flag the
First in Mexico"-in which the prom
inent incident (the placing of the
flag on the walls of Mexico) is at
tributed to one Abney.
In some history, also, this deed of
gallantry is ascribed to some one
other than the rightful person. do
not know the name of the history,
but have been told that this is so.
Ny uncle-Frederick William Sell
leek-was wounded in placing the
Palmetto flag on the walls of Mexico
at The gate called Gareta-da-Balen,
and received from the United States
government a large gold medal in
acknowledgment of that act of brav-
cry, which medal is now in posses
sion of my sister, Mrs. Marion Err
win of New York. This fact is also
recorded in Congressional Record
of that period.
After returning from the war he
edited the Abbeville Banner and was
also elected to the office of ordinary
now called Judge of probate-and
died at Abbeville few years later,
from the effects of his wound, and is
buried at Upper Long Cane ceme-
terry. His captain-Foster Marshall
placed a monument over his grave
on which is inscribed, among other
things-"The Hero of the Gareta-da-
Balen."
Feeling that you will cheetfully
give this statement the same place in
your paper formerly occupied by the
other, I close, gratefully thanking
you for this courtesy.
