AGRICULTuRIsT ADVISORY
COUNCIL FORMED

A great help for the County Agri-
culturist has been developed thru the
forming of an advisory body. Up to
the present time the Office has had no
direct advisors. and the policy OF the
Office has depended entirely upon
the judgment OF the County Agricul-
turlst. The county Is NO large and the
work that II would be possible to un-
dertake 30 diversified that II is some
times hard TO pick out that which IL
most important and pressing. II In
also impossible 10 cover 40 much ter
ritory often enough TO keep In per-
!. '.Fonal touch with all OF the present
hour" problems that come up.
The plan is TO make up this adyis-
ory body OF members from the Grang-
es. Farmers Unions. Commercial bod
les. individuals interested In, the
work, and County Court. The plan
Is to keep the mombers informed of
the work that Ia being done. and the
members In turn 10 keep the County
Agricultural informed about things
that he should know. At various
periods the Advisory Council will be
called together to plan out work, and
policies.
The council though not yet COM
plete. was called together Tuesday.
April 4th. for the first time. The pro-
ject work for this year was taken up
and discussed for this year. as we're
also some OF the policies. The mem
bers entered into an interesting dis
cussion OF the projects. some being
dropped because they we're not con-
sidered important enough at the pres
ent time. The ones that we're adopt
ed were Farm Management Demon
stration, Crop Demonstrations. Land
Drainage. County Corn Contest, Coun-
~ Fair. and the Cow Test Associa-
tion and Rabbit Poisoning work
which has been done was indorsed.
Those who now make up the coun-
ell are the following: Lee Brown.
Dead OK Flat; A. W. Trow. Ontario;
e. Al. Dean and w. b. Van Dyke.

REHOBOTH

Pacolet, Route 1-Rehoboth-July
19-The heavy rain that fell last Fri
day and Saturday did great damage.
The wheat mill known as Dawkins'
mill on Thickety creek was completely
ruined. The dam was filled with sand
on the upper side and lower side carry
ing away part of the belts and the
driving wheels. Mr.. Montgomery, the
miller, said he went down to the mill
on Saturday and looked in and saw
one of the hoppers floating around in
the water inside the mill house but
did not say whether it was washed
away or not, but he said it carried one
| of his half-bushel measures and a
half bushel of corn away. Mr.. Mont
gomery said there was rs or 100 bush
| els of wheat and corn in the mill at
the time but he managed to save it
all but a half bushel, which was in the
measuring box. His son, Will, who
lives nearer the mill than his father,
had narrow escape from being
drowned. He and his father were in
the house getting things out and in
10 minutes the water became so
strong it forced them to leave the
house and when they came out the
rwater was so swift it carried the
younger man down the creek, but he
was rescued by his father. The bridge
at the creek was turned lengthwise
across the creek. Also the bridge
across Pacolet river at Grindal Shoals
was washed away.
The friends of Mr. S. V. Garner
will regret to learn that one day last
week he had the misfortune to lose a
| fine mule, which was killed by light
ming.

Mr.. Erastus Hopper says that he
has three foxes and he is going to put
them in pen until this fall and then
have some races.
There were about 80 bridges wash
ed away in Cherokee county during the
recent heavy rain.
Will Walker, who is known through
out Cherokee and Union counties, is
missing and some think that he was
drowned in Broad river. He was out
in his car and was to cross the iron
bridge at the time it went down and
no one knows anything of his where
abouts.

LCCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, July 24.-This is
the laying by season with the farmers
bu There isn't any one through and
the crops are generally in bad fix,
for they need work badly. The talk
is most about the rain and the crops
and it surely looks serious. l hear the
oldest people say they haven't seen
such time. Well, we don't know
how things will turn out but 7 don't
think there can be much cotton made
for it doesn't take much rain for cot
ton. Cotton is more of sun Giant
and doesn't require great deal of
rain.
Mr.. Ben Wise tells me he came very
near getting drowned in the creek
near where Mr.. j. w. Cunningham
lives, while he was crossing the foot
log. The creek was up and nearly
touching the log when he accidently
stepped off and there were some lie
groes with him who helped him to get
| out.
We see Mr.. Robinson who rides
from Union comes through this sec
ton to dodge Broomy Creek. He
comes several miles out of his way.
Mr.. James Whitlock and Mr.. Haise
Webber, who rides from Jonesville,
has several creeks to cross and if they
don't get around their route every dav.
They are excusable.
Misses Eva and Beulah Gregory
| and Miss Mary Tweed will go this
week to Union to attend the meeting
of the demonstration club which will
be held this week at that place. Miss
Aisle Smith has this in charge.
Misses Matelon and Annie Bevis of
Jonesville were visitors at Sunday
school Sunday.
Mr.. J. l.. Hames and wife of Lock-
hart have gone today to Columbia. Mr..
fiames will stand dangerous opera
ton. He has been treated several
times but has not been cured. He tells
me that he has suffered ten years with
nasal catarrh; has been treated lots
of time but it has only given tenn
porary relief, but now he expects to be
operated on. Mr.. Hames is we'll
known business man of this county;
is postmaster at Lockhart and has
many friends who wish for him a cue
cessful operation.
We hear of a mysterious happening
in Bogansville township near West
Springs section. Mr.. Moses Lancas-
ter's son, while visiting some neigh
Dor, was on his way home at night
during the big rains in that section
last week. 1t was supposed he got
lost and fell in some stream, while
he was crossing or in some of those
gold mine holes. The last account we
heard that the only trace found of
him was his hat. This is a very
sad thing and more especially to the
parents and family of this young man.
They have our sympathy.

Fowler, Friday night, after an illness
of nearly three months of which he
suffered much. Mr.. Fwler was about
22 years of age. He leaves a wife
and one child. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. w. B. Justus
at New Hope, where the remains were
buried in the presence of a large
crowd of relatives and friends.
have been trying for some days to
hold on to my faith and hope that the
weather would clear up and we would
have a little sunshine Sunshine and
rain are both necessary for the grow
ing crops, but we have only had the
rain for about two weeks, which has
put the crops in sappy, tender
growth and really there is but little
fruit on the cotton and the upland
corn is not doing well, while the bot
toms have been overflowed and the
crops destroyed. / see cotton that has
a large weed and looks fine but there
are no squares nor blooms on it and
July about gone. Then there is much
cotton that is very small and very
grassy. / know one farmer who is
not through chopping out his cotton
l am sure / never saw just such
weather in July.
Mr.. Pettus Lancaster, a young man
who lives across the Forest river in
the Sulphur Springs neighborhood,
was at neighbor's house, Mr. Bob
Macarthur, last Friday and he left
:bout bed time for his home and he
has never been seen since He had a
creek to cross and the creek was up
and Mr.. Lancaster's hat was found
on the bank of the creek and by this
it is thought that he was drowned.
Search is being made for him.

RIGHTS OF AMERICA MUST BE PROTECTED
 ON SEA AND LAND

"I do not want to be president of a people that are not ready to give their all for their liberties, their land, their country that they love.
 After asserting that he was a man of peace" Mir. Hughes declared:
 We are devoted to the ideals of peace. We have no aggressive polio ies We do not covt anything. We do not want to exploit anybody. We are here fortunately situated. We have the blessing of free institutions. anxious to have what peace alone can bestoW. We want peace.
 There is no basis for the sugges- tion that we should be drawn into complications. All we need to do is assert it is a manner that will be con- vincing, what our rights are and those just rights, properly asserted accord ing to correct standards. will be rec- ognized. With it all, however. must be the recognition of courageous spirit which will make our flag the symbol of justice, of power that is not mis- used. out of security to American citizens, lawfully prosecuting their business wherever they maybe"
 MT. Hughes campaigned today among the farmers of northern New York. He spoke chiefly on republi- can policies affecting agriculture, subordinatins other campaign issues The protective tariff the need foI preparation to meet the competition of Europe after the war and the Adamson law were the nominees chief topics.

We do not want war. l am a man devoted to peace As l look forward to the future, there Is nothing that l more keenly desire than the internal organization which will tend to promote the peace of the world when this awful conflict is at an end.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S.-Theodore Roo sevelt, in an address at the Brook lyn Academy of Music tonight. declared that if today is what "our democrat friend" call Wilson Day" il should be appointed day of fasting and humiliation"
 For during the past three years, '" he went on, "the people of the United States have eaten the bitter bread of shame and trod the paths of dishonor under the leadership of Mir Wilson "
 The colonel directed most of his at tack against the recent declaration of MT. Wilson that the present was the last great world war that the United States can keep out of
 We never have had any any candi @ date for so high an office who was so utter,y indifferent to the reversal of all his professed convictions or princi pies and, above all, so indifferent to the flat contradiction between his words and his acts. on almost every issue of real importance before the people" he said
 After quoting the presidents words 1 in regard to this country and the next war, MT. Roosevelt said that never have we had a greater degree of in- sincerity and hypocrisy than is con
 
 by the president who has. himself i practiced the codest and most selfish neutrality when all these things that i he ia the abstract condemns were ir | the concrete committed at the expense ] of Belgium and of the Armenians ant 1 the Syrian Christians"
 l Taking up the presidents "appea ] for support on the ground that he ha. i kept Ua out of war" Mir.

 You say, MT. Wilson, that hereaftel America must exert her whole force moral and physical, throughout tn, round globe if the fundamental right | of humanity are invaded" Colone 1 Roosevelt said.
