Florida.

When I decided to go to Florid;
some weeks ago, I naturally recalled
a trip took there nearly fort,
years ago in company with a part!
of friends from Edgefeld and Au
gusta, Ga. Chiefly the party l fell il
with, as most congenial, were Mrs
John Hollingsworth, Mrs. Fannie
Penn Brunson, Miss Emma Belts
Mr.. John Bettis and Mr.. Alvir
Hart. / do not think I ever en-
joyed more companiouable party
than the brilliant and good humored
set of Southern ladies and gentle
men. Miss Emma Belts was then
in the full flower of her beauty and
fascinating charm of manner. She
had at that time unnumhered suit
ors, who We'd with each other to
win the hand of this queen of the
Pine House. She was naturally
just retiring enough, coupled with a
peculiar dignity in her manner, to
make her visits in public delight
full rarity. Beautiful in face and
form, and she possessed strong
character and firm personality. At
her beautiful Southern home, The
Pine House," she was a most
charming and hospitable hostess,
and each of these ladies represented
that perfect type of a noble South
ern lady of the now old school.
Then I had hard time to decide
which of the two married ladies
was more entertaining. When I
was with Mrs. Hollingsworth, with
her brilliant wit and pleasing con-
powers, was delighted;
then Mrs. Brunson, with that dash
ing charm of manner, brimming
over with kindness of heart and
agreeble disposition, made one feel
80 much at ease and IN a joyful
frame of mind at all times.
John Bettis, poor fellow, did not
enjoy the trip much, as he unfortu
aately could not leave his business
behind him.
ALI these good people are now
lead, except your humble writer.
When think that after that trip,
Miss Emma Bettis married to the
Iamented Joe Bouknight, and has
reared most creditable family
II feel like one who treads alone,
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights fled out, whose garlands
shed,
And all but he departed.
1t was after midnight, on a very
cold Friday night, with the ther-
mometer down toward zero, when
my daughter Ruth and myself went
into an all-steel Pullman sleeper at
Columbia, and were soon indulging
in that broken sleep that one catches
amid the bumps and bounces of the
Florida Special sleep that I en-
Joy after 1 have managed to pull off,
in a sitting or doubled up position,

Former Insurance Status Restored.

No trouble about getting insurance
now. Sixty-three out of the seventy
eight companies that summarily with
drew from the State a year ago are
again doing business at their old stand
in South Carolina. The experience of
the past twelve months, though working
hardship in some instance, will doubt
less be helpful to both the insuring
public and the companies. On the one
hand, the people realize fully how ut
terly indispensable insurance companies,
veritable Gibraltar insurance compa-
nies, are, and, on the other hand, these
foreign companies are made to realize
that drastic legislation can and will be
passed, if they do not toe the mark. .
In connection with the return Of this
strong array of companies to South
Carolina, The Advertiser would urge
upon all local agents the Importance OF
not over-insuring property. One
ground, in fact, the leading ground,
upon which the companies forced, we
use the word "forced" thoughtfully,
the repeal of unfavorable legislation In
South Carolina, was the record OF
heavy losses in this State. They at
tributed much of this heavy loss to
the over-insuring by local agents.
Carelessly or thoughtlessly over insur'
ing property, thus encouraging the
burning by unscrupulous owner,
works hardship on two classes OF
people. First. the companies have their
fire losses largely increased and, Sec
ond, the honest property owner, who
would rather have his property burn
without insurance than to over-lnsure
and then apply the match, suffers, for
it is inevitable that he must pay a
higher rate. In other words, if compa-
nies had no losses of this class in South
Carolina, they could probably reduce
their rates.
A local agent is not bound or requir-
ed to write on a given piece ofproperty
whatever amount is requested by the
owner, and companies should scancel
the commission of an agent who ha-
bitually over-insures property. Fur
thermore, public sentiment should
openly condemn such flagrantly dishon-
est practices among property owners.
The man who will burn his own prop
erty for gain is bad citizen and would
not hesitate to apply match to his
neighbours home, if a sufficient sum
were slipped into his pocket and he
could perpetrate the dastardly deed
under cover of darkness.
Let the citizenship of Edgefield coun-
ty rise up and cooperate with the In
surance agents, putting an end to such
destruction of property in this county,
if it ever existed at all.

SHEEP SCABIES ARE
 BEING ERADICATED

Outbreaks of sheep scabies in Mon- tana and Nevada, in which states the disease had not existed for several years, are rapidly being brought un- der control, according to the annual report of the Bureau of animal In- dustry, United States Department of Agriculture. Work for the eradica- tion of sheep scabies was begun in Texas during the fiscal year by the bureau in cooperation with officials in that state. During the fiscal year 9,702 square miles in Colorado were released from quarantine as a result of eradication. In the fiscal year more than 1s,OOO,OOO inspection of sheep were made in the field by the bureau employees and more than B. 500,000 sheep were dipped.

GENTLEMEN WILL MEET.

The annual meeting of the Green lee County Cattle Growers Associa, tion will be held in Clifton on Janu. ary 15, 1918. Since the association was reorganized last February the stockmen of the county have realized the great value of cooperation ir handling matters pertaining to the live stock industry.
 The membership of the Associa- tion is composed mostly of stockmer using the ranges on that part of the Apache National Forest which lies in Greenlee county, and represents near ly 100 owners of approximately twen- ty- five thousand head of cattle, or an average of about 250 head per owner. The annual income from this stock amounts to about $200,000.

SITUATION FOR CATTLE
 FOUND TO BE SERIOUS

Full appreciation of the serious na- ture of the range pastures and the hay situation is shown by L. M. liar rison, field agent for the bureau of crop estimates, in the following re- bort:
 On account of the poor condition of range pasture and the small amount of hay now on farms, the livestock growers in this state are facing a shortage of feed, according to re- port issued today by the local office of the bureau of crop estimates. While there is sufficient range pasture in the higher attitudes, there is serious shortage in the lower districts, due to the drought. Stock watering places are drying up which makes it impos- sible fully to utilize many pastures. The condition of range pasture De- cember 20 is reported at 75 per cent of normal. Mohave county reports a condition of 91; Coconino, 96; Yava- pal, 92; Navajo, 80; Apache, 78; Mar icopa, 40; Pinal, 25; Gila, 65; Graham, 65; Greenlee, 53; Yuma, 70; Pima, 71; Santa Cruz, 92; and Cochise, 72.
 Heavy shipments of hay from the principal producing sections have re- duced the available surplus to the danger point. From May 1, 1917, to December 1, 1917, the Salt River val ley alone shipped out about 4,500 cars, which compares with about 5000 cars for the same period in 1916. Ship ments from the Yuma valley and the Gila valley have been correspondingly heavy. Reports from correspondents indicate that less than one-fourth of the 1917 crop remains on farms at this time. County estimates of the per cent of the 1917 crop on farms December 20 are as follows: Mari copa, 15; Yuma, 25; Graham, 25; Co., chise, 69; Santa Cruz, 7s; Pima, 40; Greenlee, 22; Gila, 30; Pinal, 35; Mo have, 50; Coconino, 45; Yavapai, 50; Navajo, 60; Apache, 70. The total production of hay this year in the state is estimated at 1000 tons, which compares with 641, ,000 tons in 1916, and 4S0,000 tons in 1915.
 While there is shortage of rough age in the state, there is a substantial surplus of cottonseed meal and the grain sorghums. The state food ad- ministration has taken action to pre- vent the exportation of cottonseed meal and hay from the state.

SELLS TWO HUNDRED
 ACRES FOR s22, 1000

A farm sale that hung fire for a week was made when J. K. Me- Carthy sold his two ranches four miles east of Florence to H. Oliver, of Phoe- nix, for s22,000. In the two ranches which adjoin one another, there are 200 acres all in river bottom. Mir. Oliver intends to plant the entire acreage to cotton in the spring. Cot ton is not new to this land for here has been grown some of the finest cotton in the state, and until this season few acres of cotton has been grown each year for several seasons and there is no question but that MT. Oliver will succeed in growing fine crops of cotton on this place.--Flor- ence Blade e-Tribune.

WHY HE DELIVERED SUNDAY.

The Salt River Valley Hog Com- pany has shipped 10000 hogs to Kan sas City this season. We know of one Salt River Valley man who was in the hog business over three years ago and when he made a contract to sell hogs, he always inserted in the contract clause providing for hogs to be delivered on Sunday. A buyer once asked this hog man why he all ways wanted to deliver on Sunday. His reply was that he could get more hogs on that day because his neigh bors all went to church on the Sab bath. If this gentleman ever becomes Governor of Arizona we are going to tell his name.-Arizona Cattleman.

Range and Market News Items of Interest Pertaining the Livestock Industry
 Market Letter the Week.
SAYS HORSE STEAK IS FINE.

Increased use of horse meat in place of the flesh of other animals as means of lowering the high cost of living, was strongly advocated by w. Horace Hoskins, dean of the New York State Veterinary college, in a statement issued recently. He de- clared there were 100000 horses in the west too small for army use, which could be killed and used for food, thus keeping down the price of meat and helping to solve the leather shortage.
 Dean Hoskins said he served horse meat, which cost l5 cents a pound, at his only family table and found it fully as palateable as the best grades of beef steak.
