IN years gone by there roamed
the forest an old Indian. His head
had become white with the trials
OF many winters. His form had be.
come lottery over the chase of
many q deer. To the sad fate of
this poor Indian, as he chased the
deer over the mountain peaks over
rivers. and down the lea, his form
was lost. AS night came on and the
children missed their relished sum-
per of deer, they began to cry out
QualIa! Qualla!'
There upon the Indian SPOUSE
and brokenhearted children took
the trail that had so often led this
famous hunter into the forest. AS
they went over the vale and down
the dell, they shouted far and wide
"Qualla! Qualla!"
The echo Of that little group on
the mountain side, has resounded
down through the ages past and
gone. until the present time we re-
hshed the legend to the extent, that
we have named onr township Oualla.

IMPORTANT POST
FOR w. E. GONZALES
New Assignment Means Promotion
for Columbian in Diplomatic
Service of United States.

p. II. MCGOWAN in Columbia: State.
Washington, Jun 23.-South Car
olina will soon have full fledged
ambassador, the president today hav-
ing nominated Capt. William E. Con
zales of Columbia, now minister to
Cuba, to be ambassador extraordln-
ary and plenipotentiary to Peru.
This change is a promotion for
Captain Gonzales. He was made
minister to Cuba at the beginning of
the Wilson administration and has
performed the duties of that position
with honor to the United States.
Recently by an act of congress it
was decided to place Peru in the am
bassador class and today's nomina-
ton is another step in the matter.
AS minister to Cuba Captain Con-
zales' salary was $4,000 a year; in
his new position it will be ST., 500
with the added honor of being an am
bassador instead of minister.
There are hundreds of friends of
the new ambassador and his family
in South Carolina who will be glad
to know that he is soon to represent
the United States in this high Off
cial position, the duties of which he
will assume Immediately after being
confirmed by the senate.
Since being appointed as minister
to Cuba, both Captain and Mrs. Con-
zales have been visitors to Washing
ton from time to time and have made
many friends in the national capital,
official and otherwise.
Two other nominations sent to the
senate were connected with the nam
ing of Captain Gonzales as ambassa-
dor. Benton C. McMillin, former gov
ernor of Tennessee and former min
lister to Peru, was nominated as min
ister to Guatemala and Boaz W..
Long of New Mexico to be minister
to Cuba. Mr.. Long was former chief
of the Latin-American division Of the
state department and former minis
ter to Salvador.

will be arranged BY committee
composed of Mr.. Manning, DR.. Smith
and Mrs. Munsell.
After a long discussion as to
whether the building should have
utilitarian features, the commission
decided to make the chapel purely
memorial and artistic, with no es-
pecial practical features aside from
housing the records of war. 1t was
decided that the selection of the
architect for the building be left to
the executive committee composed of
Governor Cooper, Mr.. Manning and
DR.. Smith.
Other than the foregoing the
members attending the meeting were
Mrs. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster; A.
If. McKissick, Of Greenwood; ?. F.
Henderson, of Aiken; Col. w. w.
Lewis, of York; Mrs. C. R. Wilson
and Col. J. Monroe Johnson, of
Marion.

that have since that time been adopt
ed and made realities by Federal
laws. Mr.. Mobley was made chair
man of the legislative bureau of the
national Farmers Union several
years ago and has been prominent
in the councils of the organization
for long time. In 1915 he was en-
ployed by Prof. Holden, the national
authority on rural economic ques-

campaign of demonstration which
the International. Harvester Conn.,

for several years.

In field and in tent machinery lee
lures and demonstrations. Cream
separators. Babcock test. Feed and
food growing. Manure spreader and
the subject of fertilizers. Tractor
plowing and the subject of seed bed
preparation. Motor cultivator and
the subject of crop tillage. Seeders,
disk harrows and other machinery
adapted to use in this territory.
During the morning program the
latest and best methods for the use
and care of these machines will be
demonstrated
Afternoon.
In tent. Animal husbandry. We
include soils and feeds in these lee
lures and demonstrations concerning
live stock. Special emphasis during
this part Of the program is laid on
dairying. This part is conducted by
Miss AIDA F. HOWE, who is admitted
20 be Americas most successful
dairy woman. The afternoon also
includes corn, alfalfa, the growing of
clover as we'll as field operation and
dairy house methods. The thought
for the afternoon meeting is to be-
gin with the soil and carry out the
teachings and demonstrations of the
system of agriculture that includes
live stock as it's most essential factor
in maintaining permanent soil fer
tility.
Evening Session.
The evening session is devoted to
the subject of community work
which includes business methods in
which both town and county are in
terested and lays special emphasis
on a practical method for teaching,
in the rural schools, as matters OF ed
ucation, these great subjects which
are so essential for the progress and
prosperity Of the county. A practi-
cal method for doing this is present
ed at the evening session in addition
to other community life demonstra-
tions.
All phases of this work are illus
trated and explained by many differ
ert charts and different reels of
moving picture films all bearing on
this subject and constituting Won
derful picture of what 'the other fell
low means to US, and what we mean
to him.
Mrs. HOWE will hold extra meet
ings in the morning or afternoon at
the school house or other place which
may be provided and will present her
conception of home building, which
has been delivered throughout the
United States by her on request of
various universities and public or
ganizations.

Industry In Ten Years.

Perhaps the most surprising thing
about the enormous rubber plantation
that covers nearly 100000 acres in
Sumatra. recently described by a
writer in Commerce and Finance. is
that less than ten years ago one could
have travelled these acres without see
ing a rubber tree. The land was ac-
quired by an American company, and
the rubber trees followed. Today they
count up to something like 100000,
tended by an army Of about 10000 Ia
borers, most Of whom come from the
neighborfng island Of Java. The land
rises to a slight eminence overlooking
the sea of rubber trees which stretches
for miles in every direction, with here
and there glimpses Of the fine roads
over which motor cars travel the plan.
