DESERTION OF COUNTRY
FOR CITY GRAVE DANGER
SAYS GENERAL WOOD

In a letter to Clifford Pinchott,
made public yesterday, Major Gen.
eral Leonard Wood declared that the
decline in agricultural production in
this country was q grave na.:on::,,
danger. The letter said in part:
"There is too much flocking to the
cities. The drop in agricultural pro-
duction, compared with the popula-
ton, in the number of people who
live and work on farms, and in the
fertility of our soils cannot be al
lowed to continue. The farmers of
America rendered magnificent SER

This. That and the Other Thing
II. G.. e..

Recently Major }. Z. Hempnlli' ol
the Spartanburg Journal, indulged IN
several paragraphs of persifiage as
to the morning bridge parties OF the
ladies of Abbeville. The major is too
astute, too "cute," as the English
would say, to express himself directly
and beats considerably round the
bush with faceciousness and iqnuen-
do, arriving finally at his meaning by
contrasting the women of Abbevllle
and the women of Spartanburg. OF
the latter he says:
"She openeth her mouth with Wis
dom and in her tongue is the law OF
kindness. She looketh wel to the
ways of her household, and eateth not
the bread of idleness. Her children
arise up, and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praiseth her.
That's why Spartanburg is so pleas
ant a place to live in"
To soften the blow on the women
of Abbeville he rings in the women
Greenville and Columbia because he
knows that it is very probable that
sometime he will be entertained by
these same women of Abbeville. How
honey-sweet the words flow when the
major says, cit would appear that
nine of the most charming women in
Abbeville had their domestic arrange
ments so perfectly adjusted that they
could occupy the entire morning in
pleasant chat over cards and salad
and coffee. Isn't, it wonderful how
women of Abbeville and Greenville
and Columbia can find time for this
sort of thing in the morning?"
Sensing the real spirit \ back of
Majar Hemphill's remarks and feel
ing that the women of Abbeville
should be defended from the strong
ly implied charge that household
duties were being neglected for
bridge in the morning there comes a
young lady of fifteen summers whose
home is now in Spartanburg, but
who lived until recently in Abbeville,
and has a number of things to say to
the major.
It's hard to fool youth and the girl
who writes the following knew that
there was a little of the masterful
male who would tell woman how she
should keep her household in order,
a little of wonder that she could and
at the same time enjoy herself with
bridge in the morning, and, a great
deal of envy that he was not living
in a community where women could
so order their goings and comings
that no household duties be neglected
and plenty of time left for other
things, including the preparation of
bountiful feasts, where the male of
the species could fill to repletion to
put on edge for a game of setback
many games of setback.
Here is what the young lady has to
say in defense of the "wives and
mothers" of Abbeville and we rather
think she makes strong case and
she writes as tho she were still living
in Abbeville and enjoying the good
things here:

In Defense of Abbeville Wives and

Mothers.
GAS future housekeepers of Able
vile and as girls, whose maternal an
cestors have been among the best
kousekeepers of the state, we wish to
defend the housekeepers of Abbeville
We are positive that the Press and
Banner as usual, will come forth with
very convincing article supporting
them, but we feel that an article
from some of the poor overlooked
children will be even more convinc-
ing.
We suppose that Major Hemphill
during his long absence from Able
willie has forgotten the renown
which the women have long ago gain
ed as cooks. We do not think that it
I is possible for him or anybody else to
frd better housekeepers than the wo-
men of Abbevlile. We have often
heard it said that nothing seemed to
taste so good as when cooked by Alb
beville women. But we have not been
content merely with following recipes
known all over the United States, but
serve some dishes, which are to this
day peculiar to the people of Able
Vile, such as the old-fashioned gypsy
cake, which is a particular favorite
with everybody.
I We have never felt the neglect of
cur mothers.
When we come home from school
we find clean warm houses and good
dinners.
Another reason our mothers can
enjoy social events is that they were
such good housekeepers that they
trained their daughters to do the
work, so if the bridge parties come on
Saturdays or on holidays, we are
able to help them out-we love to
cook.
Therefore, for all these reasons we
are willing to let our mothers go to
their little social affairs and feel that
it is better for them to attend parties;
by doing so, are all the better moth
ers and wives. They are much more
able to enter into our fun and plan
for our fathers noted setback" par
ties.
We do not wonder that you think
their ability to accomplish so much is
wonderful. 1t only shows what eff
cient housekeepers they are to be
so able to manage that their pleas
ures do not interfere with their duty
at home. We believe as that old
adage says, GAIL work and no play
, makes Jack dull boy.' Just so with
the ladies', GAIL work and no play
makes Mrs. a poor housekeeper
and mother"
. So when our time comes, it is our
intention to follow in their footsteps.
Come down Major Hemphill, and we
shall see if we can teach you, so that
you may be able to teach the women
of Spartanburg how to combine duty
and pleasure. We believe that it is
just this combination that makes
Abbeville such a pleasant place to
live in.
