OIL WELLS
BY ROBERT FOWLER.

r
OF all the speculatlns plans. h4d oil
producing stocks.
There are always many pesky hams
that get their daily shocks;
And then you see their money, too, 10
very much in doubt,
They could not buy an oyster stew
with profits taken out.
There are many chaps that should IN
vest. and be a John d.. too
The spectators tell the rest OF how
their profits grew;
The swindlers always undertake, TO adj
vertlse for hams,
And many dollars always rake, by faky-
talk and shams.
They advise us OF the gusners and re-
mind us OF the greens.
But they are a lot OF flushers, and their
talk is always dreams:
oh, we have a fine location, and pro-
duce II by the car,
And II Is a true vocation, that the
value Is OF par.
SO Just hand them all your dollars, and
they'll give you receipt.
And you won't have cash for collars. as
they pass you on the street.
Oh, they are a bunch OF dreamers. that
are always very bold,
Always keep your eye on schemers, for
they love TO get your gold;
II you seem to be In doubt, as 10 where
your dollars go.
Save your cash, the full amount. and
you'll always have the dough.

Dear Lord, Thy time Of trial now is
here,
And may Thy grace sufficient for US
be,
For IS the time Of penance and OF
prayer,
And we must hourly mediate on
Thee.
Must follow Thee along the blood
stained way.
And gaze upon Thy agony and shame,
Hum 'llation, we must bear and pain.
Yet we can do II all for Thy dear
name
Thy cross was heavy, Lord. we know
II well
And Thou dld'st fall beneath its
heavy weight,
Thy sacred flesh was mangled so and
torn.
There never was an agony so great
All bleed ng. footsore. weary. thou
didst go.
Along that way unto that hilltop
But not one step was taken. Lord. by
Thee,
That did not leave dark and blood
stained mark.
SO long and weary was that dolorous
2 time.
But as lamb Thou followed where
they led.
And r. one word escaped Thy sacred
But y submission Thou dId'st bow
Thy head.
So let us emulate our suffering Lord,
And In sackcloth and ashes spend
these days. rtat
Forget the world and all things thal's
therein.
And keep right near Him on the
weary way.
In fasting, and in prayer and penance
deep, EAR
Wen try to follow where Thy foot
steps trod, ffEi
For In such sacrifice we'll surely fnd.
Sweet consolation and reward from
God.
Don't leave Him all alone 10 suffer so,
But near Him stay in sympathy 10
weep,
Don't falter II the way be dark and
drear,
But by His cross thy faithful vigil
i keep.

FRIENDSHIP
By VI. o. wHTTINGT0N.

Damon was senator OF Syracuse
And the people envied his very
breath;
They brought up false charges against
him.
And pronounced a sentence Of death.
Sec his friends Of former days.
Seemed 70 have passed away;
Save Pylhlas. that trie-hearted hero,
A companion Of his brighter days.
Pyih'as approached the high king,
And pleaded on bended knee,
To allow him to take the place Of
Damon.
That his wife and child he may see.
This touched the heart Of the high
king.
And he began TO wonder why
such loving friendship could exist,
Beneath the calm blue sky.
Alas The request was granted
And Pythlas taken his place,
While alone IN the dungeon fair Cal
anthe enters
, With tears streaming down her face.
She begged her lover TO break his
bonds,
And fy 10 some place unknown;
But honor was more than fe TO him
lie was proud OF the friendship he had
shown.
The hour OF execution arrived
And Damon has not appeared.
So pyth'as was brought 10 the heads
mans block.
While the crowd Just laughed and
sncered.
Damon kissed his wife and child,
knowing the respite was near an end
Tie started on a run for Syracuse,
To save the lie OF his friend
! 40 the last moment the axe was raised
And pythias IS about 10 meet death.
When Damon Is seen In the distance
Nearly out Of breath.
The hlsh king sat with head bowed
down..
And not one word would he say,
And while he was thus wondering
Tho sad hour passed away,
These heros are stili alive.
SO long as friendship warns the
heart OF man.
The same friendship should exist
One 90 another throughout our land.

Dwelling Burns at Lane

Fire last Wednesday night destroy
ed the home, with it's contents, OF Mr..
Elmer E. Rodgers at Lane. The res
idence was one of the best constructed
homes in the county, having been
built many years ago by the grand
father of the occupant at the tine 1t
burned. 1t was built from pure heart
pine, hand hewn, from the virgin for
ests of that section. The fire occurr-
ed after Mr.. and Mrs. Rodgers had
retired for the night, and it is thought
to have originated from small hre
in a fireplace in one Of the rooms
The occupants awoke barely in time
to make their escape. Nothing was
saved. The property was insured for
s3 900, but the loss is estimated at
$4,000.

School Joins Red Cross

The first school in the county to
join the Junior Red Cross under the
new regulations was Moss Grove
school. There are only eighteen pu-
pills in this school, but their teacher,
Mrs. w. D. Daniels, is anxious that
they shall keep up with the times
and get in touch with the outside
world.
With such a spirit they will learn
many more things than jus. the dry
facts in their text books. In the
true sense of the word they will be
educated-ftted for life. '
Boyd school, taught by Mrs. Martha
G. Wolff, has also enrolled with tie
Junior Red Cross just two days later
than Moss Grove school. We hope
that many others will soon join the
ranks.

Public School Exhibits Good

uDilC SCllOOi IAiAbAto NSSN
"The main exhibit building while not
filled to capacity is very attractvely
arranged and contains number Of
interesting booths. The public schools
in this county have many creditable
displays and should be encouraged in
this line of endeavor. Farm products
and handiwork together with antiques
and studies in various subjects COM
pose these exhibits. Another booth
deserving of consideration is the dis
play made by Bellwood Farm. This
is the only individual farm exhibit
here. 1t pictures in an understand
able way the great variety of products
that may be grown on South Caro-
lima farm. Mr.. Welch, secretary OF
the fair, states that special effort
will be made to secure more exhibits
of this kind for the next show.
Canning club products, together
with a miniature home garden consti-
tute another exhibit which is attract
ing the attention of the visitors. Com
mercial booths of various sorts COM
plete the display in the main hall"

The Tournament Yesterday.

A new feature of the fair is the re-
vival of the old-fashioned tournament,
the crowning of the queen and the
maids of honor by the successful
knights. This event came off yester-
day. It was great drawing card;
perhaps one of the largest crowds was
in attendance since the fair was insti-
tuted. The knights, all arrayed in
plume and costume, and each carry
ing his trusty lance and mounted on
well-groomed steeds, fell in line at
the courthouse and headed by band
of music marched to the fair grounds
about IL o'clock, where the riding fol-
lowed. The successful knights were
Mr.. Arthur Mccullough, 1st; MIR. K.
D. McFaddin, End; Mr.. David McGlll,
3rd. The first and second winners
being married men, the honor OF
crowning the queen and maids OF hon
or was passed to Mr.. David McGill,
who crowned Miss Rubie Thorn as
queen. Mr.. Jas. McCrea enjoyed the
honor of crowning the first maid OF
honor and selected Miss Blackwell OF
Greelyville, while Mr.. Woodrow Gam
BILE selected Miss Marion McCord OF
the Kingstree school faculty for the
time honored distinction Of second
maid.
Owing to a rush of office business,
The Record failed to witness the nd
ing, and refrains from making any
comment as to the ability of any OF
the contesting knights in the saddle
but one thing is certain, they are up
to a high standard of efficiency when
it comes to selecting pretty girls to
wear the crowns.
Educational Day-Today
AS we 70 to press this morning the
school parade is moving off from the
courthouse to the grounds. IL Is an
imposing sight and perhaps the Big
gest and best yet.

Christmas Seals

Columbia, Nov. 6.-The 1920 Christ
mas Seal Sale is not new movement,
says statement issued by the execn
tive committee of the South Carolina
tuberculosis Association. Since 1907
they have been sold to support anti
tuberculosis activities.
1--WE realize" says the association,
"that the people are tired OF drives
and campaigns. Many organizations
since the war are raising great
amounts of money through campaigns
and drives. The Christmas Seal Sale
is not a new movement. The people
know these little seals and are anxious
to buy them.
"Ninety-five per cent. of the money
realized from the sale of the seals
and health bonds will remain in South
Carolina. The remaining five per
cent goes to the National Tubercu-
losis Association, with which the South
Carolina tuberculosis Association is
affiliated.
"Of the ninety-five per cent that
remains in South Carolina a very large
DER cent. of this is divided among the
county associations.
"The five per cent that goes 70
the National tuberculosis Association
is used all around the globe. Where
ever the flag of the United States
flies, whether in The Philippines, Por-
to Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, Maine or
California, the double barred cross
and the. National tuberculosis Asso-
citation are there.
ut is an inspiration to feel that
South Carolina along with other. State
and Territorities of Uncle Sam ar
standing shoulder to shoulder IN a
solid front against the tubercle b9ec,-
lus. This tiny germ, so insignificant
and invisible, and yet so powerful
that it is today demanding a death
tool larger than any other plague,
is, however, being gradually controll-
ed and we may look forward to that
day when it will be completely under
the sway Of man. Until that TIM
comes, South Carolina has a mission
not only to her own citizens, but to
the citizens Of the world"

Fall Preparation Of Seed Bed for Corn

The club boy who is working and
planning for a big profitable yield
should select an acre that will be
cleared of crops early in the fall and
break it deep. Eight inches or more
is considered deep blowing, but II a
turn plow is used, it should not 60
more than two inches below the pre-
v;ous seed bed. That is, land that
has been plowed four inches will not
stand over six inches this year with
turn plow and eight inches next
year. <
Not only is fall a good season for
seed bed preparation, but it is an ex,
cellent time for working into the land
organic matter which is badly needed
by most soils. Cornstalks, cowpea ana
velvet bean vines and other litter II
turned under early in fall, will nave
decayed by spring.
Just before the fall plowing 1o OF
more two-horse loads Of manure 10
the acre, if available, should be broad
casted. Applied at this time, 1t VII,
be thoroughly decayed by spring ana
ready for plant use. :.
The last step in fall preparation Is
a winter cover crop. Rye is the SAT-
est and surest one and will do well on
nearly any kind of land. A fresh
deeply broken seed bed is not best
for rye or other small grains; but IN
spite Of this, rye will make a gooo
spring pasture and much green or
ganic matter to turn under. 1t may
be sowed from the middle of summer
to November. Oats and vetch are also
good crops, but not SO sure as rye
They do we'll together.-P. o. DAVIS

MANNING BRINGS
BRIGHT MESSAGE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION MEETS
WITH APPROVAL OF ARKAN-
SAS PEOPLE

A great deal of encouragement was
given to 1ichard I. Manning, chair
man of the organization committee
of the American Products Export and
Import corporation, upon his recent
visit to Little Rock. he returned to
Columbia yesterday feeling that the
situation is developing daily. 'In my
trip to Arkansas" he reports, II
found those people very receptive,
and as soon as the purpose Of the
"cotton export corporation" were ex-
planned to them, they unqualifedly
endorsed it and set to work with en-
thusiasm. They organized a commit
tee to make a canvass Of the State
for its allotment, which is nearly
81, 100000. I was assured that they
would get it promptly.
while away, I learned also that
Alabama would put on a campaign
to sell stock, to begin next week.
"The impression that there is, any
conflict between the American Pro-
ducts Export and Import corporation
and other export corporations being
organized in Texas and by the bank
ers' association is erroneous. The
other corporations are being estab-
lished under the Edge act and are
entirely banking corporations and
will not conflict with ours, which
deals in commodities.
"Upon the capital stock being sub
scribed and paid in, we will at once
begin to sell for export, thus in
creasing the consumption Of cotton by
putting to work mills now idle. The
effect of this will be the improvement
and stabilizing Of prices. 1t will,
therefore, be seen how important it
is for the counties to furnish their
allotments and to send in their sub
seriptions so that the corporation may
be formed for business.
81 wish again to impress upon the
public that we are trying to and viii
create permanent working orSaniza-
ton. Without something Of the kind
there will always be difficulties aris-
ing, and we feel sure that the perma-
nency of this corporation means the
permanency Of better prices.
1--WE will have meeting here
Thursday of the members Of the or
ganization committee. l have re-
sponses from almost every one OF
them, and I feel sure that our meet
ing will be very important"
