THE SANDMAN STORY

When he got there and empticd the

stream on the table and tumbled over
the floor.
Then Hans told the story Of the dwarf
in the woods and how he helped him out
ot his trouble. Peter listened intentIy
He tuvied Hans the good luck and de-

his own fortune. But he said nothing
Of this 10 Hans.
Early the next day we went into the
woods and soon nllcd his bucket Then
he sat down and waited. Sure enough
there soon came swimming down the
path the same little dwarf that Hans
had seen the day before. The tiny man
bore on his hack bag and seemed very
weary. He limped as ne drew near the
wall
Peter waited silently. The dwarf
tried several times 10 climb over. but
each time fell back exhausted. At last
he sat down in despair.

on the ground.
Now. hurry up" exclaimed Peter
It's getting dark and I want 10 go
Give me the bag at once"
You must go with me and get it,
said the dwarf, walking toward the
mouth Of the cave concealed under a
rock.

had for all the days 70 wander around

Christmas Seal Sale.

Among the 10000 persons killed
by tuberculosis in the United States
last year, nearly 1000 were South
Carolinians. This point with other
facts is made known in a statement
made to-day by the Rev. Hugh R.
Murchison, campaign director of the
Christmas Seal Sale in this state.
Mr.. Nurshison gives as the official
estimate of active cases of tubercu-
l6sis in Touth Carolina 10000. Dur
ing 1920 there were 1914 deaths, yet
there are only 160 beds to care for
patients. With only one bed for every
hundred active cases the people OF
the state are being asked what is to
be done tn the SO out of every hun
dred who through lack of treatment
either die or continue the spread Of
the dread disease throughout the re-
mainder of the, populat;c"
Deaths calls J2,00L children under
FIVE years of age each year in this
country. More than fifty per cent,
of all children are infected with tu-
berculosis before they are ten years
cid and the percentage increases un-
til at 1S years it reaches its maximum
of from 60 to 90 per cent.
One of the aims of the South Caro-
Ira tuberculosis Association, states
Mr. Murchison, is to seek out and
record all cases of tuberculosis, and
to provide treatment as matter OF
protection to the rest of society, who
o!aily are endangered by the germ
which kills thousands of the best citi-
zans. The prevention and cure Of the
disease depends largely upon the sale
of the health bonds and Christmas
seals. The drive for sale of these
begins the first cf the month and will
continue until New Years.

amount which must be signed in this
state to make the contract valid and
binding upon all Signatories. The
campaign is still being waged vigor-
cusly and with great promise of sue

In the absence of a regular county

John Britton. Several pieces were read
and greatly enjoyed. Three special
musical numbers were given by differ
ent members of the societies which
added greatly to the enjoyment OF
the occasion. The services were clos

COUNTY TRUCK i"
ASSOCIATIONS
]. n. MCBRIDE, S. A. L. DEVELOP
MENT AGENT REPORTS
THEIR PROGRESS.

| Florence, Nov. 29.-Co-operative
marketing of truck crops has been
taken up vigorously by the farmers
of Williamsburg county. james n.
Mcbride, development agent of the
Seaboard Air Line, reported today
upon returning to headquarters in
Florence, after a trip through that
county. He states associations are
being formed especially for beans
and English peas. Four such asso-
Citations have been formed recently,
he reports, and are in operation now.
Hemingway has organized, electing
D. G. Huggins as president and j..
F. Bushart as secretary. This organ
ization will control between $50 and
800 acres of early beans and peas.
Trio has organized with j. w. Moore
as president and ]. H. Salters as Sec
retary. They will have large acre
age of truck as Hemingway. Salters
Depot has its association, of which
]. N. Sheppard is president. Greely-
vile is perfecting her organization.
These four associations will control
probably as much as 1000 acres Of
truck, Mr.. Mcbride believes.
Leading truck growers Of Williams
burg plan to organize each market,
as local shipping association. Then
each local organization will become
associated with all others on COM
modify organization basis. The plans
have met with much success up to
the present. The form of contract
is similar to the one which is being
used now for cotton and tobacco. The
work is being pushed with the expecta-
ton that the majority of the acre
age will have been contracted before
the planting season next spring.
Both the South Carolina Extention
service and the development depart
ment of the Seaboard Air Line are
much interested in this work and are
cooperating actively with the Will
liamsbWg planters in forming their
marketing association. Williamsburg
is one of the largest early beans and
peas growing counties of South Caro-
lima.
