Don't get stuck on your complex

you're as black as any niger in
the middle of the night!
Don't get "bash" because you're
hearty, for perchance you'll over
eat, acquiring jaundiced liver and a
gouty pair of feet!
Don't get daffy on your wardrobe.
for the seasons getting late; when
the equinox is over you'll be sadly
out Of date!
Don't get flip because you're
brainy. for a tap across your block
would knock. your head as empty
as an old discarded sock! "
Don't get "puffed" because your
family has aristocratic juice, for
you never know the minute that
you'll hit the calaboose!
Don't get "raw'' because you're
wealthy, for one simple little slip
would start you walking backward
on your last financial trip!
Don't get .''sure'' about your Of
flee, for elections coming soon, and
oftentimes in politics the sun goes
down at noon!
Don't be certain of your sweet

|Open-Furrow Oats Did Not
Winter-kill.

In the fall of 1916 we sowed our
oats with a regular two-horse grain
drill, as I have done for a long time,
having been successful with the crops
I'D until that winter. The cold spell
that came in February killed them
nearly all, only a scant stand being
left, so we had a very light crop of
oats.
Our cotton was late in 1917 again
so I saw I would have to sow by an
other way than with an ordinary
grain drill. I had already sowed some
though with the usual preparation
and with the two-horse grain drill.
This sowing came to good stand, but
was killed to one-third of a stand by
the freeze in January. 1 decided to
get a Cole one-horse grain drill and
SOW the balance of my crop. This
I did, except I made it a two-horse
drill instead of on-horse by hitching
two mules to it. 1t was too heavy for
one to pull. Two mules can pull it
easily. 1t has three drills OF it, and
l went one trip to the row and one
hand sowed five acres a day with it
and got his own seed oats and ferti-
lizer too.
These oats came up in nice open
drills and made good growth. When
the freeze came 1 saw the broadcast
sowing was gone, but when l went
to see these they were there Ito my
surprise). They soon sprang up and
began to grow, fresh and green, and
beat any winter sowing of oats in
our community. When we went to
thrash they came out of the thresher
so fast that the man that measured
had to get him some help to keep up.
l got rid of my cotton stalks by
cutting them with a stalk cutter and
narrowing with smoothing harrow.
When l started to sowing | started
the pickers in front of the drill to
gother the open cotton. So l destroy
ed no cotton sowing this way. l put
200 pounds of acid phosphate and
meal mixed when 1 sowed, and in
March 1 put Is pounds nitrate Of
soda on as a top-dressing to them

Daughters American Revolu-
ton,

tICN.
The D. A. R. was delightfully."- en-
tertained on Tuesday afternoon at
the lovely home of Mrs. D. B. Hol-
lingsworth.
The afternoon was ideal, and the
drive was inviting with the cotton
fields on either side white with the
feecy staple, and the fields made live
ly with many pickers.
The fall flowers everywhere adorn-
ing the roadside, and the invigorat-
ing weather made the whole journey
back and forth a real joy, not to
speak of the charming environment
in the hospitable home which was the
mecca of our pilgrimage.
Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, chapter
regent, called the meeting to order
out on the spacious piazza which had
been arranged comfortably and ap-
propriately under a lovely awning of
green vines, and an art square under
foot. Flags and flowers adorned the
table used by the regent. Under the
service flag for the boys in the fam
lily who have enlisted, was a picture
entitled Unconditional Surrender"
with the Kaiser on his knees.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the chaplain, Mrs. j. L.
Minis, and each member was called
upon to respond to roll call with a
toast to our allies. Miss Sarah Col
lett read a particularly beautiful
toast.
Mrs. A. A. Woodson read a paper
on "The Allies"
Miss Florence Minis gave a selec-
ton entitled "Some Mans Land"
Communications were read from
state and national officers, and a col
lection taken for the little French
orphan. It was decided to take the
money out of the funds of the
treasury to contribute $500 to the
Georgetown school, and the deficit
on the Liberty Bond and Tillalory,
the destroyed French village which
the national society is restoring.
At the close of the interesting pro-
gramme all the guests were invited
into the dining room, and on a lovely
table decorated artistically in red
and gold autumn leaves, was spread
a tempting repast, a salad course
and iced tea followed by ice cream
and cake and hot coffee. Around
this table good cheer and friendship
and love reigned supreme until the
happy meeting was dispersed, and the
friends said adieu.
The next Meeting will be held
with Mrs. B. E. Nicholson in No
vember.

Red Cross Activities.


never think of the last two drives
that we have had-the one for old
clothing and the n for new hospi-
tai linens-without wanting to take
dear old Edgefield and everybody in
it by the hand and give it a good
hand shake. Such a splendid re-
Spouse was never seen! Every auxil-
larry has worked nobly to secure their
part of the allotment-Antioch, Cleo
IA, Golfers, Red Hill, Pleasant Lane,
the good Samaritan, Ropers, Stevens
Creek and Sweetwater, the latter
coming forward with an additional
gift of more than a hundred dollars
to go into the general treasury. This
amount was raised by giving a Red
Cross entertainment and having with
them a military band from Augusta
and addresses by ''real" soldiers.
Trenton has come up to her record
splendidly.
On Friday afternoon the Trenton
branch invited the community to a
linen shower. Light refreshments
were served and numbers of beauti-
full towels and sheets were brought
in. Without the assistance of her aux
~iliaries and the Trenton branch, Edge
field chapter raised her full quota of
second hand clothing and hospital
linens. A full list of all articles will
appear in next weeks papers. We
are grateful to our auXiliaries be-
cause we were anxious to send IN a
larger amount than asked for.
We have received notice of the
new allotment for the chapter, its
branch and auxiliaries, and as soon
as they are sent from headquarters
each will be notified to send for its
quota. This allotment is 500 under
shirts to be mended. I do hope that
you will watch the papers and come
for your garments as Don as you
see the notice of the arrival Of the
shipment, without awaiting further
notice.
The surgical dressings allotment
is in the house and Miss Butler asks
that a large number OF women vii
come up to the rooms every after
noon beginning Thursday of this weel
to make the split irrigation pads
which is a hurry call.
At the executive board meeting or
Friday, plans were discussed fol
holding the annual Red Cross meeting
and election of officers. This will b.
a big Red Cross rally. Members from
all over the county are asked to com
in for the meeting which will be hell
in one of our largest halls, possibl.
the opera house. Miss Sarah Collet
was chosen to act as chairman of
committee which will carry out he
plans for the occasion. A program
will appear elsewhere in the paper
We wish to thank everyone who 'ha
helped us meet our a%llotments, es
pecially Mrs. Jas. Byrd the efficien
chairman of the special linen commit
tee and her splendid assistants, AM
those who took home the towels an,
sheets to have them Numbered.
There are thirteen large boxes fill
ed with clothing for the Belgians
