FEATURES OF THE CAROLINAS
sandhill Country Among other SEQ
tlons Of the South Now Conn.,
Ing Into Favor.

The Sandhill country of the Caro-
linas is another of those bits of Amer
lea which have been, until recently,
overlooked by the rest of 1t, writes
Nlksah. In matters Of recreation, as
In most other matters, we are the
slaves of advertising. Thousands go
to Maine in the summer and to Florida
In the winter because these places are
advertised and known. Only in recent
years have the other parts Of the
South come into favor.
The Carolina hills have none of the
brilliant cOlOring of the tropical South,
but they have a pleasantly mild win
ter, with now and then touch of
snow, and a climate which is always
dry because the sands act like an
enormous blotting paper to absorb
every drop of moisture.
The country is one of pine-grOwn
uplands and narrow valleys where
sweet gum and holly are green all the
year around. There are thousands of
quail and endless reaches Of unfenced
upland across which your dogs may
range. Foxes are abundant and fol-
lowing the hounds is a standard sport
among both the natives and the Wis
ltOrs from the North. Neither are
these latter insensible to the thrills of
that ancient Southern spOrt-night
hunting for coon and 'possum.
The latest sport which enterprising
visiting sportsmen have introduced in
the South is canoeing. For some rea-
son this delightful adventure of fol-
lowing woodland streams in canoe
has been confined to the North. But
during the lost few winters the first
canoes other than native dugouts have
been launched on the Lumber, the Pee
Dee and other Carolina rivers. The
wanderers have found these wilder
ness streams creeping through cypress
swamps and pine forests where tur-
keys and wild hogs abound, no less
thrilling than the waterways Of the
North.

vatiOnists, In statement issued he
asks every one in the country to do
their bit toward saving the nations
food supply. The Chief Executives
message to Americans follows:
THE chief part of the burden of find
ing food supplies for the peoples asso-
ciated with us in war falls for the pres
ent upon the American people, and the
drain on supplies on such a scale neces-
sarily affects the prices of our neces-
aries of life.
"0ur country, however, is blessed
with an abundance of foOdstuffs, and
if our people will economize in their
use of food, providently confning them.
selves to the quantities required for
the maintenance of health and
strength; if they will eliminate waste,
and if they will make use of those COM
modities of which we have a surplus
and thus free for export a larger pro-
portion of those required by the world
now dependent upon us we shall not
only be able to accomplish our obli-
cations to them, but we shall obtain
and establish reasonable prices at
home.
"To provide an adequate supply of
food, both for our own soldiers on the
other side of the seas and for the civil
populations and the armies of the al
lies, is one of our first and foremost
obligations; for if we are to maintain
their Constancy in this struggle for the
independence of all nations we must
first maintain their health and
strength.
"The solution of food problems,
therefore, is dependent upon the indi-
vidual service of every man, woman
and child in the United States. The
great voluntary effort in this direction
which has been initiated and organized
by the food administration, under my
direction, offers an opportunity of serv-
Ice in the war which is open to every
individual and by which every indi-
vidual may serve both his own people
and the peoples of the world"
