ing Weather Observer From a
Very Peculiar Phenomenon.

ScOffers have arisen from time to
time to say that United States official
weather reports are q joke in SO for
as they deal with the future; but their
descriptions of the present and past
are admittedly serious and accurate.
Therefore n must not read in too
jovial a frame of mind the report of
David Moore, observer at Castle Rock,
Wyo., where they have been having
cites in his report that one night two
lei stopped at his cabin, apd the next
morning he tried in vain to call one
of them. who was at the barn, to come
to breakfast. But the man did not
come. SO the two sat down to break
fast without him. In about ten min
utes the maj in the barn strolled into
the house.
"Why didn't you call ME when break
fast was ready?" he asked.
81 did,, was the answer.
That was during the cold snap. A
thaw hit Castle Rock a few days ago,
Moore says, and while he was stand
he was startled by a weird medley of
sounds. BY listening closely he could
hear the words.

There was no one in sight. And then
he realized Why the a had not heard

Death of MIR. Edgar Reynolds.

Great is the pity that those who
bravely endured the hardships in
cident to the four years of strenuous
service during the WarEBetween
the States, which devastated and
impoverished the South, can not be
spared to enjoy the prosperity upon
which this section has entered. Be-
fore the South fully comes again
into it's own but few veterans will
be left. The last to be called hence
from the rapidly thinning ranks of
Confederate veterans was Mr.. Ed
gar S. Reynolds who died suddenly
at his home in the Longmires Sec
tion Sunday morning. Hisebrother,
Mr.. Arthur Reynolds, was on a
visit to Mr.. Reynolds and was pres
ent when he breathed hisslast. AS
Mr.. Reynolds has suffered at times
during the past year from a weak
heart, it is presumed that heart fail
ure was the immediate cause of
death. He was IN the 5esrs of
his age.
Mr.. Reynolds was descended
from a family that has always had
an active part in the making of his
tory for Edgefeld county. Neither
in war nor in times of peace have
the Reynolds family ever been
shirkers of duty. In the more &C
tive years Of his life, Mr.. Reynolds
was a prominent factor in the com.
munity life. 1t was in the Long
mires community that he passed
both the morning and eventide OF
life, being one of the foremost far
mers of that section Of the county.
His wife. who was Miss Kate Seig-
ler, died about 10 years ago and 1t
was beside her grave in the commu-
nifty cemetery near the home that
his body was laid to rest Monday
morning. The funeral was conduct
cd by Rev. Mr.. Smith, pastor OF
Bethany church.
Mr.. Reynolds is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. A. E. Padgett,
Mrs. w. H. Yeldell, Jr., and Miss
Buford Reynolds, and two sons, j..
E. and H. M. Reynolds.

1t locks like Providence is taking
hand to reduce the next cotton
crop Early planting is the only
way to beat the boil weevil. 1t is
now the 9th of April and no cotton
planted in this section and less land
prepared for planting than for
good many years. If the weevil
strikes us this year land the prob
ability is that he willy cotton ought
to bring $l.O0 per pound next fall.
But the farmer that has to buy MS
provisions with cotton money will
be in bad shape even at that price.
Losing the grain crop by the
freeze hit the farmers pretty heavy
blow. But with a few spring oats,
and early patches of sorghum and
popcorn we can get through the
summer without buying much corn.
Nearly everyone in this section has
the velvet bean craze, and Mr.. N.
L. WiIlets' pieces on it are increas-
ing it.
Mrs. Brooks from the Red Oak
Grove section, has been visiting the
family of Mr.. Wesley Doolittle.

Mr.. J. o. Williams has about fin
ished his new house just across the
road from and in 200 yards of the
Brunson school, and will move in
it soon.
Rev. P. B. Lanharn breaches at
the Brunson school house in the
afternoon of the End Sunday. He
preached good sermon yesterday
to house full.
If the war continues through this
year the farmer that doesn't make
his provisions will have to do with
out it. Some don't seem to realize
how serious the situation is.
When the United States call for
volunteers we. hope the Edgefeld d
coafpas sill live up to her past
record and furnish her quota, and
instead of volunteering in small
squads and going in with troops
from other States, organize COM
pany of Edgefeld boys and have
the company organized by Edge
field men.
Our school will close sometime IN
Nav and we want to paint our new
house during the summer and have
it ready for the fall term.
Unless the weather prevents, our
school expects to attend Field Day
exercises at Edgefeld on the, 18TH
but hope we won't have as cold"
and wet reception as we had last
year.

Southern Officials Interested in
Farm Marketing.

That every Southern farmer who
grows food crop this year will be
able to dispose of it at handsome
prices either in its original shape or
as live stock was the unanimous
opinion of the fifty experts of the
Development Service of the Sou
thern Railway System and affiliated
lines who met in Atlanta to discuss
plans for farm marketing, immlgrs-
ton and the agricultural and indus
trial development of the South.
The market and farm products
agents are aiding the movement for
increased production of food crops
in the South by their efforts to put
growers in touch with dealers and
consumers desiring their products
and have been 80 successful that the
demand for products of Southern
farms has greatly exceeded the sup
ply.
While live stock growing is be-
ing advocated earnestly, farmers are
urged to provide food crops before
buying live stock. Any farmer in
the territory served by the Southern
Railway System or affiliated lines
who desires aid in disposing of any
crop will be given all possible as.

ed in his section or with

During the Civil war, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, a captain of
company which had sixty men in its
ranks, none of whom was as ener-
getic as the officer thought he should
be, hit upon a plan which he believ-
ed would cure the mems habits of
laziness. One morning, after roll
call, the captain, addressing his
command said:
Il have a nice, easy job for the
LATEST man in the company. Will
the LATEST man step to the front?"
Instantly ffty-nine men each took
a step forward.
"Why didn't you step to the
'front.'" inquired the commander of
the one man who did not come.
II was too lazy" replied the SOL
dier.

Millions of tons of food stuffs
have been buried in the deep bosom
of the ocean by the most ruthless
methods of warfare that have ever
been known by the sons of men.
The shortage thus produced cannot
be supplied by the greatest crop of
cotton that the world has ever
known. The shortage thus produc-
ed must be dug out of the bowels
of the earth by the sweat of the
brow of labor. If this war shall
last four years-and may God in
His mercy forbid 1.-THE Southern
people will be dependent for main
tenance upon crops produced upon
Southern soil. Let us not await de-
velopments; but let US foresee the
peril and provide for it. Let US
provide food enough for our people
at home and for. our sons on the
fields of battle.

News From Edgefield's Schools.

IN tne reaQlnS cOnGesG.
Instead of the regular chapel
exercises of Friday morning the
time was given up to the prelimin-
ary oratorical and recitation contest
of the graded school in order that
boy and girl might be selected to
represent us in these respective con-
tests on Field Day. The program
rendered was as follows:
Seeing Things at Night''-Edward
Peak.
Little Friend in the Mirror" Gladys
Lswton.
''The Dutchman's Schnake"-Elise
Hudgens.
Annie and Willie's Prayer"-Hel-
en- Nicholson.
''Katie Lee and Willie Gray"-Ger-
trude Thurmond.
'The Banner Betsy Made"-George
Tompkins.
''The Soldiers Dream" - Eloise
Hart.
Kipling's ''Recessional u Ruth
Paul.
Uncle Remus and the Telephone"
Elizabeth Reeves.
Men and Memories of the South"
WIN. Folk.
Mrs. Robert Long, Mr.. James
Bonner, and Miss Katherine Minis
acted as judges and their decision
was given in favor of Elise Hud-
gems and Edward Peak. In case
either of these should be unable to
fulfill their duty alternates were Sc
lected who were Eloise Hart and
VIM. Folk.
The oratorical and recitation con-
test to select two representatives
from the high school took place
Monday morning. The speakers
were: ....s.
Aunt Jeminah's CouTtship"-An-

tives. The second honors were
conferred upon Miss Lydia Brunson
and Mr.. James Porter. Edwin
Folk will also be our representative
to Columbia in the State Oratorical
Contest and we hope that he will
come out with flying colors.
We decided sometime ago that it
would be best not to have a parade
on Field Day because 80 many Of
the schools from the county would
naturally be late and that would de.
lay the regular program. However,
since a state of war exists, we all
feel very patriotic and want to show
our patriotism in some way. A
grand parade will be the best meth.
cd, and to each of you, who desire
to show your National spirit by
floating the STARS and Stripes" we
extend cordial invitation to join
our parade beginning at 10 O'Clock
from the public square. For fur.
ther information concerning this,
consult Mr.. Lyon.
Just word to the ladies':
Remember, we are to receive
quite a number of guests Friday,
and it is your duty to see that they
are sufficiently provided with food.
The students will do the entertain
ing, but you mothers must do the
feeding. Set US good example by
closing the occasion properly. ;,
Our representative in the spelling
contest is Meta QUITS; second honor
