South Carolina Boys on Target

Editor County Record:
Having returned from the hike

that we had to go on target prac-
tice. For about a week we drilled IN
the evenings at sighting and aiming
exercise. Then we went to the Alma
Gourta rife range, about 30 miles
from here. We left at S a. m. No

The dust was so bad in some places
that we could net see the truck in

The scenery along the way consisted
of ranch houses, rabbits. prairie dogs
and cactus bushes.
Arriving at our destination. we
had to pitch our tents three or four
times. First they were not in the
right place. next they were the
wrong tents, and we had to make
some other changes. That night we
slept on the ground. for we had to

YORK COUNTY FARMER FINDS

The following article, which should
be of interest to Record readers,
written by MIR James D Grist, q
prominent York county farmer, is
reproduced srom the Charleston Sun
day News:
Thomas F Jackson, progressive
farmer, who lives on the southern
outskirts of Clover, is determined to
quit raising cotton. He's going to
raise COWS which produce milk and
butter instead of cotton. Tommy
Jackson has raised cotton all his life
and Tommy Jackson's daddy raised
cotton before him, ,and his father be-
fore him. But here Of late Tommy
Jackson has come to the conclusion
that there is much more money in
COWS right here in York county than
there is in cotton if the cows are
handled intelligently.

get ahead. He is convinced now that
he is on the direct trail of the dollar
and he is further convinced that the
trail leads through cow barns and
pastures and fields sown in proven
der that makes cows grow, and milk
and butter flow.
THE most remarkable thing about
Tommy Jackson and his cows is the
fact that he started into the dairy
business without any capital and ex-
perience about year ago, and fur

that our guns kicked about as hard
as a mule, and we went to the stand
thinking our guns were about as

look Advantaae of Custom.

There is a peculiar democratic Gus,
tom which Chinese servants may claim
bat which is seldom used-the right OF
reviling the family when discharged.
An old serving woman employed in the
family of the youngest son of Ii Hung
Chang was discharged for a reason
that evidently did not appeal to her
sepse of justice. She sat beneath the
gateway and for three hours called
down curses upon the LII family at the
top of her voice. This happened on
one of the principal residence streets
of Shanghai, and the police passed and
repassed, but no one tried to stop her.
The house steward made two or three
feeble attempts to persuade her to
leave, but she would turn her facile
tongue upon him, and he would gather
his skirts in his hands and start on a
most undignified run for the house,
evidently believing discretion to be
the better part of valor. At the end
of three hours, when she was COM
pletely exhausted, she was led away.

Americans Good Match Users.

Every man, woman and child in
this country uses an average of ten
matches each day." remarked ]. A.
Hunter of New York, representative
of a large match company, at the
Raleigh, says the Washington Post.
1T is estimated that the match manu-
facturers of the United States turn out
every day more than 1,7OO,OOO,OO0
mat.hes. OF this output 1,000,000,O0O
are consumed in this country. Our
people have come to be very extrava-
CANT in the use of matches. A decade
ago a pipe smoker might keep his
smoke going by way of the kitchen
fire and a paper lighter; today he
wouldn't think of it. The greater use
of cigarettes also has increased the
consumption of matches, as have gas
and gasoline stoves, which are contin-
uaIly turned off and relighted. There
has been an increased manufacture Of
patent lighters and a new style Of
gas stove with patent lighter attached,
and these have helped to cut the sales
of matches, but only to a small ex-
tent"

STOWE, VERMONT.
Puniab Forests.

The jand forests Of the Punjab are
spread over the arid, alluvial plains,
where, as a rule, the rainfall does not
exceed ten inches. The area covered
is $500 square miles. 1t is chiefly re-
markable owing to the length of it's
tap-root, specimens having been found
with a tap-root as much as "a feet in
length, descending vertically to a
depth of GA feet This tap-root enables
the tree to obtain it's water from the
permanent water supply in the subsoil.
Doubtless at one time the jand lived
in a region liable to floods, since it
has been found that no natural regen-
Grafton occurs in the jand forests
though in irrigated or flooded districts
the jand is reproduced readily from
seed. 1t seems probable that the ex-
PLANTATION of the long tap-roots is due
to the effort on the part of the tree to
keep pace with the gradual lowering
of the water table of the soil, result
ing from the lowering of the river
beds by erosion.
