THE MOOD SITUATION.

The call comes loud and clear to
South Carolinians to do their full
duty in the matter OF helping to pro-
vision the country In time Of need.
We must work now and work to-
gcthcr as one man with a single end
in view. 1t would be foolish to wait
until actual want stares us in the
face before going to work. We are
not sure but that we have already
delayed action, especially here in the
South too long. During the past
two decades at least we should have
devoted more time and energy and
land to the production OF food and
feed crops. giving cotton place only
as 4 surplus.
Now however. the government
calls upon every man. woman and
child in our great country to do Il
full part in meeting the situat On as
1t is to-day. TO this end Il number of
speakers are making Il campaign over
the state to impress upon all Of the
people OF South Carolina the import
antr OF doing something toward
Averting serious shortage OF the
things that go to sustain lite. This
campaign began last Friday. April
18th. in the lower part OF the state.
and will end next Saturday, the 2lst.
In the Piedmont section. Following
is the schedule for next Saturday:

1t has been arranged with the Ag-
ricultural Department to furnish an
agriculture! speaker for each Of the
meetings.
Let all Oconccans bear in mind the
and attend. There will be some
thing worth hearing. These men are
keeping abreast OF the times in re-
gard to the needs Of the country and

fully than we could otherwise learn
just what the country needs and
wherein and whereby our interests
and the interests OF the country can

PLAN COUNTY
FARM SESSION
Institutes to Begin in Cumber-
land County Next
Week

With practically the entire world
looking upon the American farmer
to supply the greater part OF food
stuffs during the coming year, more
interest than has ever before been
shown is manifest in the series of
Farmers Institutes which are to be
held in Cumberland county during
the week beginning, Monday. The
opening meeting on December 8 will
be held at Hogestown and on Decem-
ber and 8 there will be sessions
at Centerville and on December 8
and at Newburg.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture which supervises the
meetings is being assisted by able
speakers from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and repre-
sentatives of the Pennsylvania Com
1nittee on Public Safety.
Director of Farmers Institutes, c.
E. Carothers has placed William NJ.
Patton, of Mosgrove, Pa, in charge
of the section of the state OF which
Cumberland county is part, and
County Chairman T. ]. Ferguson has
arranged attractive programs for the
entire series of meetings. Mr.. Pat
ton is an expert on soil improve
ment, alfalfa and potato culture and
one of his most interesting talks is
on the use of lime.
Two of the instructors assigned
for the Cumberland county meetings
are Carl B. Thomas, of West Ches-
ter and Frank Kline, of Spring City.
Mr.. Thomas is an expert on peach
culture and as a side line has made
a success in hog growing. His talks
on hog growing and the possibilities
of alfalfa growing and feeding are
two subjects which every farmer
will do we'll to hear. Mr.. Kline is
an expert poultryman and his sub
jects are especially timely with eggs
scarce and bringing good prices. Mr..
Kline talks on poultryhouse con-
struction, winter egg production, in
cubation, brooding and breeding for
n business. No farmer in the Cum
berland valley can afford not to at
tend the meetings at one of the three
designated places.

alarm. The younger companion made
a desperate fight to save his friend,
according to statement made by the
woman who saw them disappear be-
meath the surface of the water clasped
in each others arms. Several times
the would-be rescuer almost manag-

under the strain and the boys fell

The Last Of the caribs.


The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as
living race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1902 is
largely Il matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand Of the cOnqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today 1t Is doubtful
whether there are hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island Of
Dominica, on reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.
