he had stuffed full Of rags or some-

"And," said she, Gin trembling tear

Old Fork (Maxton. R. 1t...sept. a.
We are still dry in the Folk and the
later -crops.. such as potatoes, peas,
hay and young corn, are in need Of
rain. tCotton is opening rapidly, and
the pickers are busy. A few new bales
have been marketed at fair price,
and some of our intelligent business
men predict marked advance owjug
to the shortage all over the cotton
belt. Up to the intense heat the first
two weeks in August, the prospect
for a fine yield was exceptionally
good in this section, but on that ac-
count it has been signally injured, but
with the probability of good prices
and fairly good corn crops, and more
hogs than usual for fattening, the
farmers are in pretty good shape and
spirits.
Not much news in the Fork, and I
am not yet aole to get around among
the neighbors, but scarcely day
passes that some of them do not drop
in, which is a pleasure and diversion
to me. Yesterday an old-time colored
woman, rs years of age, who was
born. reared and has always lived in
the Fork, came to see me, and I was
glad to see her. She is one of the
faithful few of that class which will
soon be extinct, and will be sadly
missed.
The conversation turned upon the
Yankee raid, of which her recollec.
tion was quite vivid, and their vandal-
ism at her old home, which lay in
the wake of Sherman's corps. She
said: "Miss B, they did not leave
us a mouthfull to eat, and took every
chicken on the place 'cep one little
black pullet that hid in a big pile Of
lightwood rails near the yard" This
reminded me of their shooting the
guinea fowls at our own home, be-
cause they flew into trees and coule
not be caught.
One old farmer who had killed {
lot of fine hogs, concealed most o.
the meat between the ceiling anc
weatherboarding Of the big, old-fash
ioned kitchen, and they failed to dis
cover It, He left several pieces hang
ing in the smoke house which was i'm
mediately seized upon; at tie sam
ti.lc they expressed surprise and sus
picion at such small quantity o
meat on such large plantation.

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS.
One Pound Of Meal or Other Substi-
tutes Must Be Purchased With
Every a Pounds of Flour.
To the Merchants of Robson County

To the Merchants of Robson County:
There having arisen some misun..
derstanding in regard to the use OF
certificates in the purchase Of flour
I desire 10 say that the new food
regulations effective September lst
and published in the official bulletin
of the ood~administration under date
of September 1st, provide that all pur-
chasers of flour, except where the
merchant purchases from the whole.
sste1;, must purchase one pound OF
meal or other substitute cereals with
every four pounds of flour thus doing
away with the former certificate plan
Therefore, farmers purchasing fleu1
or exchanging wheat for flour are
required to purchs1e the substitute
cereals. When they have wheat
ground they must also have a sutfi
cient quantity of meal ground, IN the
above ratio, to offset the flour.
Merchants are urged to read yer!
carefully the new rules and regula
-;ons set out in the official bulletin
of September 1st, and all merchants
who have not received this bulletin
may obtain the same by applying t.
the undersigned.

Suspend MeatleSs DAYS

The food administrator at Washing.
ton has announced that meatles DAYS
should be entirely suspended for thirty
days beginning March 80.
In view of the withdrawal of the
meat restriction, special attention is
called to the fact that the use of milk,
potatoes and meat should be increased
for the purpose of conserving wheat.
A larger use of milk and potatoes at
the present time will be great advan-
tage.
After March 31st rye -four is no long
er to be considered an official substi-
tute. 1t may, however, be purchased
without accompanying substitutes.
The maximum wheat flour ration for
households shall not be more than one
and one-half pounds of wheat -four per
person per week. This includes the
wheat equivalents or substitutes con-
tanned in the wheat flour, made up in
to such products as ''Victory" bread or
rolls, macaroni, wheat breakfast cereals
etc. Households will be aided in meet
ing this requirement by wheatless days
or meals, although such are no longer
obligatory.

War Recreation Activities


The Easter pageant which was to
have been presented at the Baptist
Church this week has necessarily been
postponed, owing to the many de-
mands upon the time of the young
people who were to have taken the
parts. Examinations at the high
school are scheduled; the rehearsals for
the Red Cross play will conflict, as
many of the same people are needed;
spring athletic work is making heavy
demands upon the time of all the girls,
and it seems, considering all these
things, wiser to wait a month and
then to present some other suitable
pageant. Miss Curtiss is planning for
some one Of the attractive outdoor en-
tertainments that are particularly ap-
propriate for the month Of May.
Saturday night Of last, week the
Army Ladies Unit at Pemberton or
ganized program that was carried
out by the ladies of the town at the
Soldiers Club. Games, music and
general good time, including Vir-
ginia reel, comprised the entertain
ment in which all present participated
in unusually happy fashion.
The soldiers from Dix appeared in
considerable number at the Mount
Holly Club House the past week end
although fewer than usual were able to
remain for the night owing to the fact
that many had to be back to sign the
muster roll.
The Soldiers Club Committee of
Pemberton is arranging for dancing
party for twenty-five men from Camp
Dix the evening OF April sixth. Mrs.
Anna Chambers who is chairman of
the clubhouse committee with her
company worker is arranging for an
equal number of young women from
that place.
AT meeting held at Pemberton on
Wednesday afternoon, the workers
there decided to have series of dane
ing parties under the auspices of the
War Community Service committee.
The first of the series is to be given on
April 6.
The Army Wives League is holding
its weekly meeting today with Mrs.
TolIey, at 467 Main street Definite
arrangements and plans for the card
party for women at the Soldiers Club
House next Tuesday afternoon are be-
ing made. The army wives promise a
pleasant afternoon to all card players.
Prizes will be given and refreshments
served. 1t is hoped that large num-
Der of Mount Holly ladies will be pres
ent. The time set is 2.30 and the date,
April 9th.
