Gallon Monthly Law Expired Tues.

"Died-at midnight, Tuesday,
April "a, 1917, the infant son Cor

Gallon-a- Month, after an illness of
several weeks; aged two years. The
little fellow was never very strong,
although quite popular with a large
number of intimate acquaintances.
Contrary to the usual custom, there
appears to be very little sorrow
over the child's death. The deceased
is survived by a brother, Quart-a-
Month, aged one day."
The last deliveries of the stun that
makes one merry Cor mean were
.:.ade from the Bamberg express Of
fee Tuesday Afternoon. Under the
law no deliveries can be made after
midnight of April Oath. However,
there was not much on hand at that
time, as most of those who stocked
up had their packages timed to ar
rive in good time for safe delivery
under the old law.
Under the new law, one quart of
whiskey may be ordered in each
calendar month for medicinal pur-
poses only. In order to get liquor
hereafter it will be necessary to Sc
cure a certificate from the probate
Judge, for which fee of ten cents is
charged. In order to get this GER
tificate, the applicant must subscribe
to an oath that he has not already
received a quart during the current
month, and that the liquor he pro-.
poses to have shipped in is to be used
for medicinal purposes.
Heavy shipments of "booze" have.
been received at the local express of
fee for some weekks. Preparedness
was the idea. However, the supply
received under the gallon law will
not last long at best, and the people
will soon have to become accustomed
to the use of quart tfor medicine.

This Farmer Lives at Home.

Mr.. G. F. Copeland. of Ehrhardt.
was in Bamberg Tuesday Mr.. Cope
land is not a FREQUENT visitor to Bam-
berg, but he has lot of friends here
who are always glad to see him. The
price of cotton never worries him, be-
cause he lives at home and plants but
little cotton. He plants only a few
acres and makes a bale per acre. He
gives his first attention to planting
food crops, raising hogs, chickens,
etc.
Mr. Copeland within the past few
days has sold more than 500 worth
of bacon, and he has several hundred
pounds yet on hand. He plants plen-
ty Of corn, about six acres in peanuts
every year for his hogs, has thirty or
forty hives of bees, and last year for
the first time planted velvet beans.
He had fine success with his beans,
and is very enthusiastic over this
crop. He says he learned several
years ago that it did not pay him to
farm on large scale, planting large
fields of cotton. So he sold off most
of his stock, and has for some years
been running a one-horse crop, and
he has been getting along better ever
since.
He produces about hundred dol
lars worth of honey every year, but
he does not sell it, He gives it to
his children, grandchildren, neigh
bors and friends. Last year he had
twelve head of hogs which netted him
neat profit He always has ready
market for his meat, and cannot sup
ply the demand.
The prospects for short supply
of foodstuffs this year does not af-
feet such farmers as Mr.. Copeland.
Instead of having to depend on the
stores to furnish his table, he fur
nishes the stores with supplies for
other folks tables.

Preparedness Talks.


The preparedness meetings held
this week at the various schools of
the county were attended by large
crowds. Great interest was evinced
at each of the meetings, and it seems
that the people of Bamberg county
are becoming thoroughly aroused
over the matter of growing food
stuffs this year. The speakers at
each of the meetings earnestly pre-
sented the seriousness of the situa-
tion. and the farmers were urged to
use their every resource to produce
foods to feed the county instead OF
having to import foods, as in the
past.

Cope Will Grow Foods.

Cope, April 1.-Thursday after
noon an agricultural preparedness
meeting was held at this place, in the
school auditorium, and quite an in
terested number were on hand to
hear the speakers and to learn in
what way they might be of service
in this great movement. A good
many ladies were present; some from
Orangeburg, and others from the
Lower Fork section, while others
came as far as the St. George section
of the county.
The speakers were Mr.. Derrick, of
Orangeburg, Miss Dukes, one OF the
county's canning and demonstration
agents; the Hon. Joe A. Berry, Col.
J. H. Claffy, County Demonstration
Agent L. S. Wolfe, all of Orange
burg: the Hon. H. P. Fulmer, of
Cope, and Mr.. w. A. Livingston, OF
Oranseburg. Much food for thought
was gathered from the speakers, and
the belief is that much good will re-
suit from the meeting.
Orangeburg county is one OF the
hest in the State for raising, not only
cotton, but foodstuffs, and the farm
ers around Cope do raise plenty OF
foodstuffs and to spare. but they are
urged now to better what they have
done in the past and in so doing help
not only themselves, but the State
and the nation as we'll.

An Address to the People.

10 all men dHu "oHeu Ia Don
berg county:-The conditions, as be-
ing reported, of the food crops of the
world, if not alarming, are serious.
This is especially true when we
realize that the reserves will be ex-
hausted at the end of ths crop year.
It is reported that the English
wheat crop is exceedingly backward.
The Dutch crop is small. The French
crop is very much, less than usual,
and what is most alarming Argen-
tina will have little wheat or corn
to export. The Australian wheat
crop is reported 50,O00,000 bushels
less than last years. The statement
is made that the English government
has contracted for the entire surplus
of this years wheat crop of Canada.
Wheat in the winter growing States
in our country has suffered much for
the want of moisture. Early vege-
tables in the Southern States have
been destroyed by recent freezes.
Coming nearer home, the prospects
for wheat and oat crops in South
Carolina are the most discouraging
in years. The season is very back
ward and, therefore, little gardening
has been done in this State.
The country is in a state OF
war and we have every reason to
expect that in a short time thousands
of young men may be called from the
fields to arms. Therefore, it is neces
sary to impress upon all classes of
our people the: urgent need of grow
ing all vegetables for table use and
for canning purposes.
You should take this matter up
not only with the farmers but with
the officials and residents of cities
and villages and bring about organ
izations for the cultivation of vacant
lots in food crops. Chambers OF
Commerce, women's clubs and every
agency should be appealed to to as
sist in this most important work. The
production of forage crops on large
areas, particularly the velvet bean,
sorghum, soudan grass, cowpeas and
soy beans, is urgent. The acreage in
corn should be greatly increased.
The greatest care should be taken
with the spring pigs. Hogs are now
selling in the Northern markets at
Is ga cents a pound on foot; beef
cattle from 10 to II cents a pound
on foot with every prospect of In
creasing. The acreage of sweet po-
tatoes should he increased many fold.
Every farmer should plant crop OF
fall Irish potatoes-the Lookout
Mountain variety if obtainable.
With the food supply If the world
in its present condition, we may be
assured of a profitable demand for
all food crops. We owe 1t TO our
selves and our country to produce
the necessary supplies for the family
and for the men who are performing
their patriotic duty. The indications
are that for the first time since the
civil war we will be unable to pur-
chase supplies from other countries.
Therefore, it is imperative that we
produce them at home. This posi-
bilitv of shortage may bring some OF
our people to actual suffering.
