Attention, Delegates. to State b. Y. p.
Y. Convention.
Please send your name to Mrs. E.
j. Wochner Sumter, S. c., at once.
Mrs. Wochner is chairman of the
hospitality. committee. BY sending
Your name promptly you will make
her work much easier and enable the
good people Of Sumter to suitably
provide for your. comfort. Please
do not neglect to do this.
Concerning Travelling Expense.
No reduced fares have been Offer
ed by the railroads. The delegation
this year ought to be sufficient to
justify the railroads in Offering the
reduction, but in view Of the fact
that conventions in previous years
have not had as many as 200 out OF
town delegates who travelled by rail
there was no sufficient evidence
which could be offered as basis for
the request very much hope that
the attendance in Sumter will be
such that in the future we can Sc
cure q low rate for our convention.
fOf course all pastors will be able to
secure q rate of two cents per mile
each way and parties Of ten can Sc
cure tickets at a considerable .reduc-
ttion. The distance \, from points in
South Carolina to-. Sumter. is not
great and the rate need not hinder
tany. worker from going. Let the
Union, arrange to defray the ex-
[penses, Of: one or more delegates and
let many others come on their own
fcharges.

An Excellent Foundation Stock

Fred E. Davis of Madison has some
excellent foundation stock for a herd
of registered Jerseys, and Mr.. Davis
is Just the man to have something
good in the stock line, as he is sure
to appreciate it's value and see that
it has proper care. He is also alive
to up-to-date methods in its manage
ment. While only a comparatively
small farmer, both he and Mrs. Davis
are taking much interest in their
dairy and other lines of farm work.
They have a Babcock and very care
fully do their own testing. Both are
enthusiastically interested in Jerseys,
and take much pride in their little
herd of purebreds which consists of
the young bull, Lassie's Highland

and five females. This bull is by

FORMS OF CURRENCY
MANY DIFFERENT BASES OF ~.
NANCE IN HISTORY.
Old Civilization Knew No Such ThInU
as Money. and Legal Tender Was
Simply What Could Be
Agreed Upon.

Do you ever stop to think when
you have dollar in your hand, just
when 1t first came into existence, and
what people used hundreds OF years
ago, before such a coin had ever been
heard of?
In the old civilizations of Italy,
Greece, Egypt and Asia Minor there
was no such thing as money Instead,
the most valued possession of each
country served as a basis for finance,
and troublesome times they did have,
when one race of people traded with
another and did not agree at all on
each others standards of value.
In ancient Sparta, for instance, huge.
gorgeous chariots served as dollars. II
a man wanted to buy a house and lot
he had to drive a certain number of
chariots to his desired place of abode,
and then give them In exchange for
the land he wished Sometimes whole
days were spent in deciding, and out
siders had to be called in to assist
In determining the value Of the goods
to be bartered.
In Africa they were a little more
sensible In choosing for money arti
cles of smaller size The natives were
extremely fond of jewelry and fancy
decorations Of all kinds, and 30 for coin
they used delicate shells Of various
sizes To be sure they were a bit
unsubstantial and If a man broke his
shell the loss was his. There was no
government back of him to redeem
the currency But the arrangement
seemed to satisfy on the whole, for 1t
was In vogue for many centuries.
In old Japan daggers were made
into money They did not seem to
find 1t hard determining the value,
and the metal was practical and sub
stantial and lasted indefinitely.
The most terrible form of money
the world has ever known was that
In vogue in the days of the early
Roman empire, when women were
used quite frequently for money. If
a man owned a beautiful slave and
preferred land, the bargain was
speedily made And If the land or
object desired were very valuable
he might have to yield several of his
women slaves
Turbulent times there have been In
The course of the long centuries on
the subject of money, and many quar-
rels have arisen and many battles
have been fought. And really we
don't half appreciate the value of our
simple dollar or the thousands of
years 1t took to bring it to its present
simple form.

daily grind of your business. and

should see the famous play Texas
Cattle King" which is booked to play
at the SkoWhegan Opera House ON
Friday, June 9th.
Unlike the uscG western drama,
with its boisterous and bad men this
play is a true story, truly told, OF the
great west in thu days of the cattle
rangers. when the long horner steers
roamed in herd of scores of thou
sands over the alfalfa covered
prairies. The lure of the west and
the glorious deep coloring of the vast
plains are as essential part of this
play and have had special attention
A company of clever performers
make this production one OF merit.
Special vaudeville acts are intro
duced between the acts and are well
worth seeing. The Texas Cattle
King is now on its sixth successful
season and is considered by critics to
be one of the best plays of the west
now playing. Band Concerts at l.

proving a success was shown by a
luncheon attended by more than a

Pineapple House Plant.

Those who love the beautiful in ma
ture as we'll as something curious can
easily have both in their homes with
but little trouble or expense.
When preparing a pineapple for the
table, cut off the top and place it In
q jar of water for a few days. Curl
ously enough, it will put forth roots
and grow for weeks, making very
handsome plant. 1t can be placed in
winaow or on a stand in the living
room, and when grown with other
varieties of house plants, produces a
pleasing effect
After 1t has become well rooted, l,
can be transferred to light rich soil
in an ordinary flower pot, and it will
continue to thrive for a long time,
often through an entire winter
The top of pineapple planted in
the garden in early summer will often
take root and grow nicely during the
entire summer It is certainly to at
tract attention, as it is very pretty.
