LOOKING TO NEGRO INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL WORK.

Leakesvile, RIA. Miss. Mar. II, 10
l7.-During this term as we'll as last
our county board agreed to cooperate
with a negro rural school fund known
as the Anna 7. Jeans Foundation to
help industrial teaching in the coun-
ty colored school. The plan is the
county pays 1-6, the colored people
themselves raise 1-6 and the Jeans
fund pays the remaining 2 3 of the
salary OF a competent person to
Introduce and supervise the work
in the colored schools. On the 10
II OF February the first Field Day
aud industrial meet ever held among
colored in Greene county was held
at State Line. Athletic, literary
and industrial contests were held.
Pin-cushions. crochet, plain sewing,
hand caned chairs aud stools we're
plentiful, amounting 10 more than
1870 pieces.
Prominent white people OF State
Line inspected the work and gave
prizes. Prominent colored leaders
made remarks urging the colored
people to be settled, remain in the
south and Greene county, where
they are among helpful, lawabiding
white friends.
The Jeans fund. assisted by other
funds, proposes to further co operate
with the county aud build an indus
trial training school If the county
will increase the help to $3.50. which
can easily be done by a slight raise
Of the colored tax ,tion The funds
then will pay yearly $500 With
better trained laboring class the
county would be greatly repaid.

we understand the situation correct

its still too early for Greene spoken

have begun 10 fill and the grass have

QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives of Many Soldiers.

Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Barlng c. b., a
famous English surgeon who is CON
sulting surgeon to the great base hos
pitfalls at Rouen, which accommodate
$4,000 patients, says that since the war
began immense strides have been made
In the surgery Of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed us
having taken place since the outbreak
or hoStiliticS, writes q correspondent Of
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid trcH Htmcnt OF the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 mcn-hnve
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be OK
prctrd, so that once man is picked up
by the Strctcher bearers he receives
time. Here also is q special hospital,
perhaps of so beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
Of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally conSid-
cred to be fatal but under the new
conditions, by which Il man so hit IL

The World on Wheels

According to Il report by thc Office
OF public roads, which takes notice OF
such matters. there were 3.512,036 uu-
t0mobiles and motor trucks and 25O,-
S20 motorcycles registered In the
United States In 1916. This is an in
crease of 43 per cent over the registry
of cars and trucks for the previous
year. The gain was greatest in the
Southern States where it reached SO
per cent. On the estimate of the prcs-
cnt population there is now an nutomo-
bile for every 20 people in the United
States. On the basis Of comfortable
seating capacity, this makes room for
one-siXth of the Inhabitants, says
Thomas Il. Logan in Hcslc's. Or, in
other words, If properly apportioncd,
every sixth or seventh family would be
found supplied. The total license revc-
nue. derived from this source for 1916
was $25,8G5,37O, which represents an
increase of $7G99,G50 over the receipts
OF the same character for the year
before.

OIL TO BE KING IN FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown In War as Well as In In
dustrial and Domestic Life.

The European war is without a
doubt doing more to direct general at
tentiOn to the claims Of Oil and Its null
titudiness products than any amount
OF advertising in normal times could
have accomplished, says writer in
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash Of arms on the con.
tincnt hns from It's commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts Of petroleum in up-tO-date war
fare is no less than in either the indus
trial circles or in domestic life. We
are today ns much dependent upon the
refined products Of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities Of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater ntten-
tiOn than they ever before did, but
that particularly healthy atmosphere
pcrmoates those enterprises which
have laid themselves 0ut-and sue
ceSsfully SOTO engage I'm the prOduc-
ton, the refining the transport or the
distribution of petroleum products.
There Is, in short, no mistnklng the
fact that in the future oil will be king.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-10-17

vate customers are now receiving
prices that make this industry very
profitable. One poultryman near a
NewEngland summer resort has rails
ed as many as 400 guinea fowls in
one season, selling them in August
when they weighed about pound
each at $1.25 paif. Wholesale
prices IL New York usually range
from rs cents TO 81 a pair for dress
ed guineas weighing Q pounds to the
pair, and from S1.25 to $3.50 pair
for those weighing to 4 pounds to
the pair. Old guinea fowls are not
wanted and seldom bring more than
so or 60 cents pair.
Varieties of Guinea Fowls.
OF the three varieties of guinea
fowls s-pearl, white, and lavender
pearl is by far the most popular. 1t
has a purplish gray plumage regu-
l'larly dotted or "pearled" with white
and is so handsome that frequently
the feathers are used for ornamental
purposes. Breeding stock of the va
rious varieties usually sells for So to
1880 pair, or from So to SIS trio.
Eggs from pure bred birds for hatch
/ ing can be obtained for rs cents to
81 for Is. During the last few years
limited market for guinea eggs has
developed among commercial hatch
cries which have an outlet for few
day-old guinea chicks along with
their ordinary chicks, ducklngs, gos-
lings, and turkey poults. While
guineas can be kept in the best con-
dition upon free ,ange, they can be
confined if necessary and satisfactory
results obtained.
Marketing Guinea Fowls.
The marketing season for guinea
fowls is during the latter part of the
summer and throughout the fall. AT
this time the demand in the city mar
ket is for young birds weighing from
to pounds each. At about 1-2
months of age guineas weigh from
to l 1-2 pounds, and at this size
they begin reaching the markets in
August. AS the season advances the
demand is for heavier birds.
The usual practice in marketing
game birds is to place them on the
market unplucked, and in most mar,
kets guinea fowls are sold in this
way. They are more attractive with
the feathers on and sell more readily
When dressed the small size and
dark color of the guinea are likely to
prejudice the prospective customer
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-10-17

who may be unfamiliar with the
birds excellent eating qualities. For
hotel and restaurant trade, however,
guinea fowls should be dressed in the
same way as common fowls. Before
shipping any birds to market it is
advisable to inquire Of the dealer to
whom they are to be shipped whether
the feathers should be removed.
If the guinea fowls are to be mar
keted with the feathers on, all that
Should be done is to bleed them by
severing the vein in the roof of the
mouth, allowing them to hang head
downward until bleeding is complete.
If the feathers are to be removed,
this should be done by dry picking.
The vein in the roof of the mouth is
severed first, to insure thorough
bleeding, and the knife then thrust
through the groove in the roof of the
brain is pierced the feathers are
loosened by convulsive movement of
the muscles and can be removed
easily.

I. RAISING GUINEA. FOWLS
Prices at Eastern Markets Should In
crease Popularity Of This Fowl
! Among Farmers. - Gt

Guinea fowls, which have suffered
unpopulafity with farmers because Of
pronounced propensities for noise
making during the sleeping hours Of
humans, are likely to rise above this
objection in view of a steadily in
creasing demand for their delicious
flesh, in the opinion of poultry
specialist Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. With east
ern markets Offering rs cents to $1.5O
4 pair for these fowls, guinca-fowl
raising now is a profitable side line
on eastern farms, and may. offer op-
portunities to the commercial poul-'
tryman in a few cases. In Farmers
: Bulletin 858, "The Guinea Fowl" the
specialist discusses the guinea busi-
ness from the starting of flock to
marketing. the produce, which is
largely the meat.
Demand is Increasing.
The increasing demand for guinea
fowls, the specialist says, comes from
hotels and restaurants in the large
cities, which are always eager to buy
prime young stock. These they par
ticularly like to use as delicacy in
banqpets and club dinners, guineas
being good substitute for game
birds such as grouse, partridge, quail,
and pheasant. The present supply
comes largely from small farm focks
of 10 to 25 fowls. Such focks require
little care and expense to raise; con-
sequently the marketing price is
largely profit.
And as for that undesirable cry of
the guinea fowl, the department spec
ialist admits that this is a rather OBJ
jectionablc habit, but declares that it
might often be listed as an asset. 1t
gives warming of maraudcrs in the
poultry yard and also, backed by a
pugnacious disposition, constitutes an
effective show of fight against hawks
and other enemies. In fact, says the
poultryman, some farmers raise few
guinea fowls with their turkeys and
allow them to roost together so that
warning will be given if any theft
is attempted during the night.
