PLENTY NEXT DOOR
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

After having made caTeIu sur.
vey of the wheat producing area OF
the United States, experts whose Dusi-
ness 1t Is to keep the people informed
on the acreage sown to fOodstuns
state that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production In
the States, due to considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion of these
experts is that the decrease Will be
several hundred million bushels OF
wheat less than In previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements Of the demands OF the
people Of this country.
In Canada, however. the situation
Is different Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as TO create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
a bumper harvest. 1t is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than In 1915. the year Of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393, $4,000
bushels. Not only Is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same Is true Of oats,
barley and fax, of which greatly
increased acreage has been sown In
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come ut the right time to stimu-
late growth and there Is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the world generally facing shortage
Of wheat and continued heavy de-
mand for 1t, the price Is likely to be
maintained at the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than In previous
years and 1t Is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect Of
a crop yield that will give them a re-
turn sufficiently large. after paying
all current expenses to pay of large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is In excellent condition

German Process Faulty.

Indigo dye was always made from
the juice Of the indigo plant until the
Germans invented way of making
it synthetically. English manufac-
turers Of serge have recently been
testing the natural and the artificial
dyes, with the result that the natural
gives a depth of color from to 20 per
cent superior to the artificial. II. E.

the German process does not make
indigo. but only one of the constitu-
ents of indigo, called indigOtin.

LEARNING THINGS USEFUL
WINTHROP SHORT COURSE

While the girls from the various
canning and poultry clubs were at
tending the demonstration short
course at Winthrop college from
June to IL they were asked to
write a letter home telling Of their
work. Below is copy of the best
letter written by the girls from
Newberry county. This decision was
made by committee at Winthrop.
Dear Home Folk:
I know you all want to know what
1 have learned up here while attend
ing the state short course.
After a pleasant trip we were set
tied in our room in the college. Then
we were called together and the
rules were read out and we have been
keeping them the best we could.
Then began our daily work which
/ shall describe. Every morning
Immediately after breakfast we went
to the gymnasium for recreation;
Miss Edna Syda was our teacher and
she has taught US club songs, club
creeds, club yells, dancing and music:
We went to class every day and
learned how to grow, save and sell
food products; points on good dress
ing, and a number of other things.
The lesson on table service by Miss
Lola Snider was very good. Misses
Smith and Counts dyed some old
clothes and made them look like new
ones; also the hats renovated by
Misses Bell and Shelby. Mother
Walker canned in the steam pres
sure. Every day from IL to l we
had chapel at which time men and
women from different places spoke.
On June 4 we had moving pic
ture show "Pollyanna." On June
5 we had "a campus party which was
enjoyed by all. A trip around Win
throp was planned for June 5 but as
we started shower Of rain came, so
we did not 60. On June Z trip to
the poultry farm was very interest
ing. Here we learned all about rails
ing and Matching chicks. On June 8
we went Ito the dairy farm. We
went through the house where the
churning and butter making is done.
On June TO we visited the practice
home. If any one wants q comfort

MADOO FORCES GAIN
NEW LIFE FOR BIG FIGHT
81 Can Say With Assurance, That If
Nominated iIe Will Accept" De-
clares Texas Committeeman.

San Francisco, June, 27.-An-
nouncement here tonight that VIII
liam G. McAdoo would not reject the
Democratic presidential nomination
overturned the whole situation as to
candidates before the convention
which now is to have it's "big three"
National Committeeman Love OF
Texas, regarded as McAdoo's spokes-
man, without giving specifications
publicly states he has assurances that
Mr.. McAdoo would accept if nonl-
mated.
He declined to amplify his state
ment.
Will Accept Says Love.
''The question is frequently asked
whether in view of Mr.. McAdoo's
sincere desire that his name not be
presented to the convention, he would
accept the nomination if made.
'I say with assurance, that if nom
mated he will accept.
''The constantly increasing de-
mand for McAdoo's nomination
among arriving uninterested dele
gates, convinces me that he will be
nominated. Texas will cast 40 votes
from the beginning until he is nornl-
mated"
Rival Forces Uncertain.
Rival forces were not certain what
would be the effect OF Mr.. Loves an
nouncement. Mr.. Cox camp asserted
early in the day that everything pos
sible would be done to bring the NC
Adoo movement out in to the open to
force an early show of strength.
Some Palmer supporters conceded
that McAdoo as an active candidate
from the beginning probably would
reduce the attorney generals vote on
the first ballot but they said they
also welcomed a clean, open contest
from the start.
There was Immediately q return
of strength from original McAdoo
boomers who have been straying
away into other camps as the for
mer secretary has repeatedly declared
he would not become candidate.
Delegates who had not originally

him second on his statements OF
declination, Immediately returned
his name to first place.
Turning Movement.
AS the news of Mr.. Loves state
ment I,read among the delegates
there was Immediately a turning
movement which began sweeping the
delegates who prefer McAdoo into a
cohesive force which began at once
to renew efforts to bring about his
nomination.
Up to the time Mr.. Loves state
ment, McAdoo boomers were estl-
mating their strength from ESQ to as
high as 600.
The first effect of Mr.. Loves state
ment was to create an immediate de-
mand for further and more authorl-
tative information. In view of Mr.
McAdoos repeated declarations that
he did not wish to become a canda-
date, many expressed the views that
something should be given to the
delegates either from Mr.. McAdoo
himself, or bearing in an unmistak-
able way his approval.

ROMANTIC AFFAIR
ON QUIET SABBATH DAY
An Elopement, But the Couple Met
BY Appointment in Columbia
Throwing the ''Old Folk
OF Their Guard.

One day last week Probate Judge
Ewart told US he had issued mar
riage license to certain young man y
in Newberry, but that he was oound
to the utmost secrecy; couldn even
tell the reporter, the man keeps, Sc
crets. on the sly. We happened to
mention it to Humbert Aull on Sat,
urday. and Humbert said he would
tell us all about it Monday: Which
caused some people to think hum
bert twas the man." Early Mon
dav morning we came down for news
and was told that Miss Carolyn Wat
kins and Carl E. Epting had been
married in Columbia on Sunday att
ernoon at 8 o'clock by the Rev. Mr..
Lightfoot, at the parsonage OF the
Second Baptist church. The BRIDE is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ). L.
Watkins of Chappells, and is pretty
and sweet young girl, while every
bodv knows that the bridegroom is an
industrious young citizen of New
berry who is always active and ener-
getic, now being connected as sales
man with the Newberry Hardware
company, ard one who believes in
working and sticking to business.
The marriage was the elimination
of a beautiful little romance. Carl
found that he, had to do some
scheming to succeed in his undertak-
ing to get his. sweetheart away from
home without arousing the suspicion
of her parents. The young lady was
a willing helper. Accordingly she
went to Charleston, ostensibly to
visit relatives in that city; but she
and Carl knew the trail. They were
to meet in Columbia. Hence when
she went from the City by the Sea to
the Capital City, Carl left Newberry
Saturday night with his best friend,
Humbert NJ. Aull, on the Cannon
Ball. The result has been told. 1t

left on the 3:45 train for Charlotte

DEFICIT IN SCHOOL
FUND APPROPRIATION

The several schools in the county
operating under the equallzlng law
which guarantees the salary and
term of the schools, received the ap-
portionment for the year last week.
The schools are now facing short
age of funds as the appropriation
was insufficient to meet the number
of districts under the eight mill tax
law. Only AZ per cent. Of the
amount due these districts could be
paid as, Mr.. Swearingen received ap-
plications for over S300,000 and had
only $4,000 to disburse. New
berry county's applications called for
more than $4,000 and received ST.
$50.
silverstreet received s3O5 and is
still due $685..
St. Phillips received s572 and is
still due $500.
Hunter-DeWalt received $477 and
is still due $500.
Wheeland received 1929 and IS
still due $3.50.
Little Mountain received S457 and
is still due $500.
Pcmaria received S95 and is still
due S105.
Midway received ST. and is still
due $50. ,.,,
St. Lukes received 1854 and is still
due $3.50.
The legislature passed the law and
made the appropriation in order to
induce districts to vote eight mills as
a minimum. This law has caused
more districts to vote tax than any
other one factor in the school sys-
tenn. Twenty new districts have
voted the eight mills to come in this
year in Newberry county alone: All
those connected with the schools,
trustees, teachers, patrons and the
county superintendents, feel that the
next legislature will supply the de-
ficits and make the appropriation
large enough to induce every one to
have better school,
