The crankadox leaned DER the edge Of the

And wistfully gazed on the sea
Where the gyrxabodill madly whispered
To the air of "Ti-fol-de-ding-dee"
The quavering shrek Of the fy-up-the-

Was fitfully waited afar
To the queen Of the Wunks, as she pow
dered her cheek
With the pulverized rays Of q star.
The gool closed his ear on the voice Of

As he marked the baldskin adjusting his

On the opposite side Of his head.
And the air 1t grew chill as the gyrxabo-
Raised his dank dripping fins to the skies

To pick the tears out Of his eyes.
The ghost Of the zhack fitted by in

Sees Big Money in Sawdust

Monroe Enquirer.
Some years ago a citizen of
Mecklenburg county invented a
contrivance for carrying cotton
seed away from water power
gins and dumping them into the
creek. The papers said that the
inventor would put his machine
on the market. 1t would not
sell for much now when the
price of Gotten seed is a dollar a
hushel. We laugh at that Neck
lenburg genius who made a de-
vice for dumping cotton seed IN
TO the creek. Yes, and in a few
years from now they will be
laughing at the people who are
now carrying the sawdust away
from the mills and burning it.
Some of these days folks will be
selling sawdust for as much as

A German Sub. Sank American
Stesme Nov. 8

Paris, Nov. IA wireless
dispatch from Madrid says that
1t was a German submarine
which sunk the American steam
ship Columbian.
According to this information
the Columbian encountered the
submarine on November 6, dur
ing violent tempest. The sub
marine compelled the Colum-
bIan to interrupt her voyage and
lie to under surveillance until
November s. When the storm
subsidized, the dispatch says, the
submarine ordered the crew to
abandon the ship and then sank
her.
"A Havas dispatch from Madrid
quotes the newspapers of Corun-
ma, Spain, where the crew is re-
ported to have landed, TO the
effect that when the Columbian
was held up the submarine
ordered the crew to disembark
but that the storm was so severe
that this was impossible until
two DAYS later.
The dispatch also says that
the Norwegian steamships BALTIC
and Fordalen were destroyed in
the same manner on November
"a report of the sinking of
these steamships was received
from London last night.)
Washington, Nov. 12.-Sec.
retary Lansing is expected to lay
before President Wilson at once
summary of recent develop
ments in the submarine situation
collected at the State Depart
ment, dealing particularly with
the Marina, Columbia, Arabia
and Eannao cases. No secret is
made of the belief of some Of
flclals that the situation is seri-
Gus. The President has made
IT clear to friends that the policy
toward submarine warfare with
the correspondence on the Sus-
sex case will be followed strict
ly. Mr.. Wilson probably will
have another conference in the
near future with James w. Ger.
ard, American Ambassador to
Germany, who has been in this
country for several months.

lima:
The farmers of South Carolina
are falling to appreciate the
necessity of seeding large acre

AS you know the price of flour
at this time is higher than pos

In order to assist you in

installing a flour mill of one
hundred barrel capacity per day

any grain this fall will you kind

Learn About the New Rural
Credits Law

| kd"
Heretofore not enough atten.
ton has been given to the i'm
portance of adequate capital as
a factor in successful farming.
Many a prudent and capable
farmer in the past has realized
that his farm would be much
more profitable if he could tile
drain his land; or if he could get
extra horses and mules; or if he
could buy the animals needed to
enable him to engage more ex-
tensively in the darrying, swine,
or beef cattle business; or if he
could put up modern barns and
! silos. But he has lacked capital
for all these things, and he could
get capital only by taking ruin
GUS risks. AS MIR. E. w. Dabbs
told the Farm Loan Board the
SthCl ddt.
Il have never been able to
farm as l wished nor as good
judgement showed would be
profitable. because l could not
take the risk OF disaster that
would near ruin under sys-
tenn where all debts must be paid
out OF current profits or be car
rled at a high rate of interest"
10 all such men the coming
OF the new rural credits law,
with its longtime loans at not
over 6 per cent, is a veritable
godsend. AS the Monroe Jour
nal puts it: Here is a man who
has a farm in good shape, with
stock and moderate equipment,
and is out of debt. Suppose that
he wishes to increase the pro.
ductivity of his land at once and
begin to get the benefit of it.
Let him borrow five hundred, a
thousand or two thousand dol
lars. as the case may be, and in
vest it in improvement of his
soil. Four crops of4egumes l
on the land, two winter and two
summer crops, or two years in
all, will more than double the
yield of an acre of land IN this
county. An acre that can now
be stimulated to produce a half
bale of cotton would, after such
treatment, easily produce a bale
with less fertilizer, and one that
is now producing a bale would
produce two. Thus the cutting
down of labor expense by doub.
ling the soil fertility, would itself
soon pay the loan"
Farmers everywhere should
certainly inform themselves as
to the provision of law that
promises such relief, and this in
formation, like salvation, is free.
Simply write the Federal Farm
Loan Board, Washington, D. c.,
and ask for copies of its free cir
culars, especially Circular No. 5,
The Farm Loan Primer."-Pro

Chesterfield County Fair Last
Week Was Big Success

sitter used to slft sand to make
the mortar to build the old court
house at Chesterfield in 1879.
Mr.. T. B. Smith exhibited vel.
vet beans and the first velvet
bean meal ever shown at a fair
in this county. 1t was ground
on the new feed mill at Page
land Novelty Works with the
hull on.
Mr.. w. K. Sellers had on ex
hibition a bale of fine hay as
large as bale of cotton.
Fresh grapes were exhibited
by w. ]. Odom.
Mrs. Lee Criggs had on dis
play quilt said to be $50 years
old.
The Woman's Fancy Work
and Art department attracted
quite a bit of attention and
brought forth many favorable
comments. The Child's Depart
ment was excellent also. and a
drawing by Miss Lealla Gaskins
and some tatting made by five
years old Bessie Miller was wor-
thy of more than passing notice.
Mrs. D. M. Williams, of Pat
rick, exhibited number of
chrysanthemums said to be the
finest ever seen at Chesterfield.
The Eureka Canning co. of
this county gave a demonstra-
ton of what may be done with
the waste products of the farm.
This company is operating a
cannery at Montrose in the low
er part of the county. There is
a building 65x30 two stories high
in which are modern canning
machines capable of sealing
without solder or acid 20 cans a
minute. Potatoes. tomatoes,
beans, peas and other vegetables
are canned.
The live stock exhibits were
probably better than at previous
fairs In the county, but there IS
still room for improvement in
this line. Chesterfield county is
not surging forward in stock
raising as in some other lines,
but there is a gradual improve
ment in the quality of the live
stock in the county.

stock and poultry.

Best Agricultural Exhibits in
History of County; Attendance
Record Broken; Crowds Quiet
and Orderly.

Record Broken; crowds Ou'et
and Orderly.
The fourth annual Chester
field County Fair held at the
county seat Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday of last week was
IN many ways the best fair ever
held in the county. The wealth.
er was ideal for the occasion,
save the dust, and the crowds
We're made up of people from all
parts of the county and from ad
joining counties. So far as this
writer saw the people were sober,
quiet and friendly. The carniv-
al attractions were up to the stan
dard for such, and few people
left the fair grounds without
having spent something for
amusement or entertainment.
But the place of greatest interest
10 the thoughtful ones who at
tended the fair for the purpose
of getting hold of new ideas was
the large brick building in which
the most wonderful display of
agricultural products ever seen
in this section of the Carolinas
was housed. There the courteous
heads of each department stood
ready to ask and answer ques-
tions and give out any informa-
tion at hand in regard to the
many and varied exhibits.
The most noticeable features
OF the agricultural exhibits were
the ones by the three communi.
ty fairs held in the county the
week before, Mt. Croghan, Mid
dendorf and Macedonia, and the
individual farm-exhibits by F.
w. Rivers, G. L. Moore, D. T.
Watson and T. w. Gaskins.
The exhibits included every
imaginable product of the farm,
a few of which were: Corn, cot
ton. sugar cane. rice, peas, vel
vet beans, soy beans, hay, pump.
kins. watermelons, grapes, ap.
pies, cotton seed, oats, wheat,
rye. vetch, clover, potatoes, and
innumerable other objects. w.
]. Tiller had a large box of lux
urantly growing clover, and one
OF rye and vetch. He also had a
box of sand illustrating the ear
to-row method of testing seed
corn.
Either of the four individual
farm exhibits would have been
small fair within itself. The
one by Mr.. Gaskins showed lis
different products of his farm,
and the others were probably
about the same. While the wri-
ter was looking at these some
one asked, "Why should mau
or his sons want to leave the
farm when all these things may
be grown there for the pleasure
and profit of the farmer and his
family?" No good reason was
given there. and one will not be
given for there is not one.
The exhibits by the communi
ty fairs contained entirely too
many products for detailed de.
scription here, but let it be said
that these exhibits were magnif-
icent. and they reflected much
credit to the communities from
whence they came and to the
promoters of the enterprises.
MIR. w. ]. Odom was in charge
of the farm exhibits and he ex
planned that the cannon ball ex
hibited by Floyd Douglass was
the second ball fired at Fort
Sumter at the beginning of the
Civil War. 1t looked to be about
six inches in diameter.
Mexican Big Boil cotton seed
were exhibited by Mr.. w. j.
Odom, who says he expects to
