in the corn and cut and shock the
corn and disk the peas down till fine
ly cut up and the, surface soil made
fine, and then sow oats in September.
These oats will come off earlier than
February-sowed oats, and you can
get in a crop of peas to make hay for
feeding and manure-making and can
get crimson clover on the land to turn
under for cotton, and can sow the
clover again all through the cotton at
first picking. By feeding the pea hay,
corn stover and oat straw you can get
a lot of manure to spread on this clo-
yer to turn under for corn and repeat
the rotation. This short rotation adj
hered to will rapidly increase the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, not altogether
because of a rotation but because of
the increase of humus in the soil,

LADIES SPECIALLY INVITED.

Clemson College, May F.-Dr. F.
H. H. Calhoun, Director of the Agrl-
cultural Department, desires to call
attention to the fact the ladies are in
vited to attend the Summer School,
which will be conducted by the agri-
cultural forces at Clemson College,
June 80 to August 6. Special prepara-
tions are being made to provide ac-
commodations for ladies, and courses
of instruction in which any ladies are
particularly interested. In order that
married ladies may attend the Sum-
mer School with their husbands, a
separate floor of the new barracks
will be set apart for married couples.
Another separate floor will be provid--
ed for the accommodation of unmar-
ried ladies who wish to attend. DR..
Calhoun desires it to be understood
that ladies attending are not required
to take any of the courses unless they
so desire, and that married ladies who
wish to attend with their husbands
are very welcome to come just as an
outing. This is also true of unmarried
ladies who care to come without TAX
ing courses.
Courses specially provided for la
dies, or, which may be taken by the
ladies along with the men are as fol-
lows:
l. The Junior Project Course for
the teaching of agriculture in second
ary schools. This course will be given
by the Division of Agricultural Edu-
cation to meet the needs of teachers
in the secondary schools, who find it
desirable or necessary to be able to
teach classes in agriculture.
2. Courses in poultry raising, hor-
Iticulture, dairying, and in fact any
of the courses offered to men are
open also to to ladies.
The probable cost to ladies will be
5000 per week for those who do not
register to take any course of in
struction, or $500 per week for those
who do register. This will include
board, room, lights, and all cost ex-
cept laundry.
The college is glad to offer: :thissop-
portunity to married and unmarried
ladies, and hopes to welcome large
number at the Summer School this
year.

DER ISSUED MAY 20, 1919.

Clemson College, May 19.-Owing
to the resumption of boil weevil ac-.
tivity, the quarantine zone which was
lifted on Jan 1st, 1919 after the boil
weevil had gone in winter quarters,
will again become effective on May
I20, 1919. The quarantine and safety
lines will continue for the present as
given on the official map of the South

Beech Island on the Savannah River
through Blackville, Branchville, Preg-
nall, Summerville and Mt. Pleasant.
The safety zone passes from a
point on the Savannah river near Mo-
doc through Trenton, Swansea, St.
Matthews, Pineville and enters the
ocean at the southern end of Raccoon
Key.
The quarantine line. starts on the
Savannah river and passes through
Mt. Carmel, Saluda, Lexington, Co.
lumbia, Kingstree and Georgetown.
Parties receiving the map from the
commission will find full explanation
on the reverse side.
Points on the boil weevil line are
held to be within safety zone.

until necessary to move them on ac-
count of advance of the weevil at

sued.

MR.. TONNES WRITES OF MT.
VERNON.
Washington, D. c.,
May II, 1919.

Dear Advertiser.
Sixteen miles below Washington on
the Virginia side of the Potomac, sit
uated on the summit of rather steep
declivity is Mount Vernon, the old
home of Washington.
Trolley cars and steamers go down
there daily carrying hundreds of Wis
itors to this revered spot.
All steamers passing up or down
the Potomac blow one blast of the
whistle in going by Mount Vernon in
memory of Washington.
The, grounds about Mount Vernon
are lovely. Oaks, hickory and elm
trees spread great branches over the
green grass beneath, and flowers of
every hue send out a fragrance from
the garden walls.
r You enter Mount Vernon from the
rear! .s is "a ftwo=sto mansion and
sits close to the ground.
Within its walls one sees all the old
household furniture just as it was
when General Washington and Mrs.
Washington kept house. 1t is in a
wonderful state of preservation. Visi,
tors are allowed in all the rooms and
in each room one sees certain of the
personal effects of Washington. The
guide points out the room in which
Washington died-even the bed on
which he took his last breath.
Coming down stairs again you
walk out on the front. porch which
runs the entire length of the mansion
and is supported by eight tall col,
umns.
Here you get a beautiful view
the broad Potomac winds westward
then in a southerly direction towarc
the Chesapeake.
Across the rive. in verdant splen'
dor are the woody hills of Maryland
A brick walk leads from the house te
the Tomb of Washington. His tomb
and the family vaults are enclosed
within brick wall according as MS
will specified.
His last resting place is not NAM
moth marble tomb as one might ex
pect, but just an ordinary family
vault. By his side rests Mrs. Wash
ington and on each vault fresh flow
ers are daily placed.

My dear Mrs. Grifis:
A letter has just come to US from

comfort to know that the Red Cross
is now taking photographs of the
graves of our soldiers whenever this
is possible, and these are mailed to
the nearest relative in this country.
AS the location of your sons grave
is known, this can undoubtedly be
done and the photograph should reach
YOU within the next few months.
With this report, the Red Cross a
gain sends you it's deep and most sim
cere sympathy in the death of your
fine son.
Sincerely yours,

MeDUFFIE LITERARY SOCIETY.

/ am of the opinion that the pupils
in school are the most important
people in the institution, that they
think things and dream things that la
ter become realities in the legislative
halls, the churches and the other
great institutions of the nation.
l recall with more or less pleasant
memories that several years ago eX-
plored the DeVore grove searching
for some hidden clue of the great
George McDuffie's law office which
legend said had once stood near the
driveway. l found in various ways
some incidents concerning that noted
gentleman and read them to his glory,
certainly not to my own. That was at
one of the early meetings of the then
newly organized McDuffie Literary
Society.
l was treasurer, holding thankless
but never ending job since someone
was always absent or late. However,
the two years spent there prepared
the other members and myself for
whatever public appearance we had
to make later ~.
Last Friday attended a meeting
of the society. l was impressed with
several things, the large attendance,
the ease and grace with which Mr..
Ralph Byrd presided, and the debate.
The subject was that ever annoying
one to the "antis" and that ever heart
gladdening one to the "believers," "
Resolved, That the United States
Should Have Woman's Suffrage" /
marvel that the affirmative, feeling
the righteousness of their cause,
finging their papers aside, did not
rise Sc. eral inches higher in their
boots and fairly bring tise audience
to it's feet with applause.
The negative quoted the Billie
against suffrage and the aair.natN e
quoted the Bible in their favor. Since
the right always triunphs the judges
decided in favor of the affirmative,
thinking also that the negative made
a creditable attempt to uphold their
side. Since this great question has
been postponed so long it is fitting
that if we, must still discuss it in or
der that it be rightly settled, that
thinking, studying peoplpe should de
bate it.
IF a ] ssie wants the ballot
To help to run the town,
