TOOTH BIRTHDAY OF
PENDLEToN CHURCH

Anderson Mail.
A hundred years ago there might
have been seen a wagon train coming
slowly from the city of Augusta
they were coming slowly, for they
were drawn by the old beast of bur-
den-the OK. Each wagon was loaded
with materials for building house
and the train was guided by one
Henry Morningstar, evidently of In
dian origin. Yes, the materials were
for a house, ut not for any ordinary
house-for Gods house, and for the
first Episcopal Church in the north
ern part of the state-St. PauPs of
Pendleton.
Sunday afternoon the celebration
of the centennial of this event took
place in the quaint little church,
which is so we'll preserved. Here
where makers of history worshipped,
the Calhouns, Pinckneys, Telioferros,
Prioleaus, Warleys, Governor Mil
ledge Bonham, Col. Samuel Warren,
soldier of the Revolution, Governor
Wyatt Aiken, General Henry Stevens
Gen. Barnard E. Lee, Gen. Clement
Stevens, Gen. George McDuffie, Gov
ernor James Hamilton, Governor
James Hammond, Gen. Daniel Huger,
VIM. H. Trescot, secretary of state,
Col. Armistead Burt, Col. David Tay-
lor, Samuel Maverick, Thomas G..
Clemson, and many other notables.
These were the founders of this
church and their descendants have
kept the fires of faith burning.
In the graveyard in which the little
church stands there are many Of
these men and their families buried,
and the epitaphs tell the manner Of
men" they were and some of the
leeds by which their names have
been perpetuated:
"And in raiment pure and white,
Victories paens in every hands,
Through their dear Redeemer's
might,
More than conquerors they stand"

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Continued Southern Farm Prosperity
Dependent on Cutting Produe-
tIen Cost Through Foed
Making and Saving

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)-"Tens OF
thousands OF farmers in the South
will face the problem Of making cot
ton under heavy weevil in1estatlon
for the first time in 1920. Their sue
cess or failure under these new con.
ditions will be absolutely dependent
on the degree that there is food, grain
and forage produced on their farms
this year," said H. G. Hastings, presi.
dent OF both the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce and the Southeastern Fair.
"A few weeks ago the newspapers
carried the report that an Alabama
county was preparing to erect a
monument to the boil weevil, because
Of the good the weevil had done them
in forcing them out of the 'all-cotton'
poverty producing rut, into the pros
perity that always follows diversity
of crops and the production on home
acres of every pound possible of food,
grain and forage supplies needed by
the family and lie stock.
"Our good people here in the South
have never, until very recently, taken
the home or family vegetable garden
seriously as q source of food supply.
It has been looked on strictly 30 q
side issue, something of little impor'
tance, something to be attended to the
last thing on the place. The home
garden, rightly handled, can be made
to produce half the food needed by
the family and practically without
money CIT:

Good home gardens have been real

farmers who have gone flat broke
trying to meet store bills. A good
garden will cut the store bill until its
size Is negligible. Give the garden a
fair chance and square deal in 1920
and the result will be asreeably sur

HOW WE MADE GOOD
MONEY LAST Year
Hastings Declares That Southern
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Years Prosperity, II
They viii

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD-"The gen.
erality of Southern farmers made real
money out Of their farming operations
il 1919, more profit than most Of them
ever made before, despite boil weevil,
uRfavorable seasons and labor short
age"
This statement was made recently
by H. G. Hastings, president Of both
the Southeastern Fair Association and
the Georgia State Chamber of Com
meree, in discussing general farE.
conditions in the South.
Very naturally most of this farm
prosperity is credited to the high
price of cotton and, Of course, the high
price helped, but the real down-at-the'
bottom reason was that most farmers
owned their cotton when it was made
instead of owing 1t for food and
grain bought on credit, as used to be
the case when the practice was to grow
all or nearly all cotton and buy on
credit all or nearly all food, grain, etc.
Present farm prosperity is due
largely to what DR.. Bradford Knapp,
head Of the demonstration work, has
so aptly termed Safe Farming which
IS nothing more or less than growing
on home acres every pound of food,
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use. When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put In cotton or other
cash crop.
"The Expense Of making cotton or
other cash crop is, either directly or
indirectly, the cost Of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items Of food and grain can be pro-
duced on southern farms at one-third
to one.half what those same items
cost from supply merchants,
We made money l&st year by fol-
lowing the only way that fnsures per-
emanent farm prosperity, home pro
dQetion Of home food and grain needs.
We can repeat this money making in
1890 by following the same common
sense way that put us right last year
and will keep us right in 1920 and
every year, If We follow it up and not
gamble In cotton planting.
Its a great temptation to gamble
IN cotton in 1920-gamble in cotton
IN the field, which is just as bad a.
gambling in cotton on the New York
or New Orleans exchanges. know
some folks who are planning to
double cotton acreage this year. They
are headed for disaster sooner or
later. The wise farmer will play safe
In 1920-play safe by doing safe farm.
