SAND HILL SOIL
TO GROW PEACHES

T. S. Evans, assistant development
agent of the Seaboard Air Line Rail.
way company with Offices at Hamlet
N. c., said recently that the develop
ment department of the Seaboard sys-
tenn has interested the Florida Caro-
lima Fruit company in planting 800
acres in peaches along its line either
at McBee or Hamlet, N. C. This COM
pany has large citrus groves at Pasa-
dena, Fla, and when the Carolina
peaches commence bearing it's entire
force of expert packers will be
brought to handle the crop.
The idea of combined orange and
peach groves under one management
is novel one and is the idea of b. L..
Hammer, general development agent
of the Seaboard Air Line at Norfolk.
A number Of Seaboard employees
have taken stock in these orchards
and the management is planning to
plant much larger acreage next
year.
Mr.. Evans stated that the Seaboard
had made an exhaustive study of the
suitability of peaches in the sand hill
area through which its lines pass, and
is convinced of it's practicablity.
1t has been found that this section
possesses many advantages not enjoy
ed by the Georgia peach growers. The
relative altitude and the gentle rolling
nature of the land give the very nee
essary drainage which makes a loss
of the fruit buds in the early spring
by cold spells almost an impossibility.
The peculiar nature of the sand hill
soil coupled with the abundance of
sunshine produces a peach of rare
flavor and color. In addition to these
factors the sand hills being on the
main line of the Seaboard are be-
tween 18 and 80 hours closer to Nor
thern and Eastern markets than other
peach sections of the South.
The development department of the
Seaboard has interested several other
large companies in planting large
commercial orchards along the line in
the sand hills and it is expected that
within year or so large well kept
orchards will be seen instead of sec
ond growth oak.

SEES NO ANARCHY
AMONG THE RUSSIANS

Petragrad.-The Russian people
will fulfill their task of establishing
a republic, in the opinion of Charles
Edward Russell, member of the
American mission to Russia. Mr..
Russell today issued the following
statement on the observation he has
made here since his arrival some
weeks ago:
81 venture to appeal to my fellow
Democrats in the United State and
Great Britain for a more sympathetic
attitude toward the struggling de-
mocracy of Russia. appeal to ed
itors not to print wild-eyed stories
of impending ruin and chaos and to
newspaper readers not to believe such
stories if printed.
"There is no anarchy here. There
is only a limited amount of disorder.
The people of Russia, under the most
trying conditions in history, have
been an example of dignity and self
restraint.
at is well to face the facts frank
ly, but it also is well to look beyond
surface conditions to the true basis
of Russian development. Every phrase
of the present condition is logical
and normal outcome of natural
causes. The substance is sound and
hopeful.
"These people know their job and
will do it. l suggest it is about time
to do away with all criticism and give
them q chance"

BE CANNY.
Get that canning impulse.

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer keep
your can opener busy next winter.
Get ready for canning season now.
Regrets are the only things ever can
ned in the jars you forget to order.
Can nothing that can be kept with
out canning. Dry such vegetables as
corn, string beans, navy beans, ma
ture Lima beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden all
winter if you have your canned evil
dence on the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each container
will hold as much canned food and as
little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables except care
cleanliness, fresh products, jars, and
heat.

NEED OFFICERS
AS WELL AS MEN

"Thc call to the men of South Caro-
lima to make application for the sec

gent as the need Of men in the ranks" 4"
said Gov. Manning yesterday. "Tht
army to be raised by the draft needs
efficient, intelligent, experienced and
wcll-trained officers, and all those who
rae in position to attend such camps
should make application.
"The impression has gone abroad
that men under 81 years of age need
not apply, but this has been corrected
in a statement issued by the adiutant
general of the army. The ideal age is
from 25 to 35, but it should be clearly
understood that men between the ares
of 20 years and nine months and Al
years may apply.
"Thcrc are a great many men in
South Carolina with the proper cduca-
tional qualifications who should go.
"As time is an important factor. the
applications should be submitted at
once. Necessary blanks and informa-
tion can be obtained from Lieut.. Hen
ry T. Pillan&, examining officer, Char
lesion. The time limit set for rccciv-
ing applications is Sunday, July Is.
Efficient officers, men who will be
leaders are needed. call on the
young men Of the State to respond, as

sponsibilitics Of leadership"

ATTACK
AGAINST GERMANS

Petrograd, July 1O.-Gen. Korni-
front of 20 mile have broken the Aus
tro-German front between Halicz and
the Carpathians and already the Rus
sian cavalry has pressed forward for a
distance of 16 miles.
To the west of Dniester, as re-
suit of the Russian forward move
ment, Halicz has been hemmed in
from the south and southest, and the
Russians are now measuring the Ha-
licz bridge-head.
From July 2 to 8, inclusive, Gen.
Korniloff took $4,000 prisoners and
55 guns, of which IL were heavy
pieces.
Gen. Korniloff's cavalry and Cos
sacks are pursuing Gen. Kirbach's re-
tiring army south of Halicz and have
forded the River Lukovitza which par
allels the River Luvka. The western
bank of the Luvka dominates the
wooded eastern bank but it's consider
ed unlikely that the demoralized Aus
trian army will be able to concentrate
sufficient troops to prevent a Russian
passage of the river and continu-
ance of the advance in the direction
of Dolina, 35 miles west of Stanislau.
The cooperation of the Seventh and
Eleventh armies north of Halicz with
the Eighth army south of that town
has been like clock work.
The success of the Eighth army, the
military critic of the Reich points
out, separates the German army of
Gen. Won Bothmer from the Third
Austrian army under Gen. Girbach,
and anticipate the evacuation of Ha-
licz, which is not strictly a fortress,
but strong bridgehead protecting
the positions of Gen. Won Bothmer's
army from the east and southeast.

sanctuary of the heart and of the mem

The present shortage Of fabrics is
equalei only by the shortage Of raw
materials entering into the manufac.
ture Of textiles. The shortage must nee
essarily increase as the war continues.
The adoption Of mourning by a large
number of our people would entail the
discareing Of great quantities Of cloth.
ing which otherwise might have been
worn for considerable period. True.
some of these castoffs might be given
TO the poor or TO charitable organiza.

greater proportion Of them would be

moth eaten and forgotten The result
>of the new purchases would be TO N.
'crease the already serious shortage of
material and to further raise the prices
OF clothing, which, as II Is. promise TO
soar still higher IN the near future.
Altogether the arguments in favor OF
the discarding Of mourning during the
continuance Of the war appear to us TO
be unauswerable except I'm the afirma.
tive. We by no means urge the indis-
criminate wearing OF bright or SNOWY
colors Neutral or soft shades would
naturally bee more appropriate. Some
suitable device also might be worn upon
the sleeve. But for THE CUSTOMARY. suits
