And then, my skin is not pink and fresh like a baby's should be, and is old and wrinkled looking, considering I'm just two weeks old today, and then too. it does not fit as we'll as it might. My mother did not forget that it was my birthday and brought me beautiful toy fish on wheels as a present. She couldn't get but one, so sister didn't get any. But when I get tired of mine, and when the wheels come off. maybe I'll let her play with it too, if she's good.

But it is well to learn now, for when our feathers are grown, that is nething we must do every day, as the oil keeps them from getting wet. Right down on our backs, at the jumping off place, is a funny little bump, that looks some thing like a nose, in fact children call 1t the "parson's nose," and by press ing it with our bills, tiny drop of oil oozes out. and that's where we get the oil for greasing our feathers. It's a lot cheaper, and a lot more con venient than having to go to a garage for it, and having to pay the man money for it besides. That's what doing in the oil our make-believe feathers. When we

 SANDWICHES

Take one package of cream cheese (the white).
 Chop sweet mango peppers very fine or put them through the coarse grinder.
 Mix the pepper with the cheese adding
 1 tablespoonful of sweet cream to make a paste.
 Cut neat slices of bran bread.
 Spread the slices with the cheese mixture and cut in two crosswise making triangles.
 If the sandwiches are to be served at home for tea or party, do not put a top slice on as the green and white of the cheese makes a very decorative sandwich. If they are to be used for a school lunch slices of bread would be better. making the usual covered sandwich

 They worked furiously and soon agreed they had enough. Jim picked up his sack and struck off over the field while Art was still knotting his.
 Hurry up.' Art!" he called, and hurried himself, anxious to get off the grounds.
 He was half way over the field when a shout halted him. He looked around and saw a tall powerful youth of around fifteen stalking in his di- rection. Jim was no coward, but he was a slight fellow and younger than the newcomer by several years; he

A funny thing about pelican children, is that their faces look as old and solemn as their parents, and no matter how much fun they may be having, when a crowd are playing, no one could tell it from their counte- nances, they look as serious and dignified as their mothers and fathers, and they look like so many feathered funeral directors.

And how their mothers can tell which are theirs, is more than I can understand, as they all look exactly alike, and they all make the same kind of squawking noise.

NOVEMBER ~ HE first faint frost is In the air IA And makes it jolly cold. - The flowers hide their sleepy head
 Beneath the hardening mould. The pines and frs lift up their heads
 Where leahess trees abound. And chipmunks seeking winter homes
 Run lightly OCT the ground. The banks beside the little brook
 Are empty now. and bare. And signs of coming winter
 Are noticed everywhere. The empty nests in tree tops

We feel someime that if some OF
the folk who are endeavoring to have
the street paving extended from the
college on to the city limits would de-
vote just a l,etle Of that energy to
lave the driveways and the walks IN
Rosemont improved that they would
accomplish much more. At least their
energy would be directed in the right
way. A good road from che college
to the city limits will serve every
goodrpurpcse, but certainly something
should be done to the drveways in
the cemetery. We know it is very
difficult TO get the trustees of Ro@e-
mont even to perit you do anything
or to suggest anything in this place,
and we know also that they will n>'>
do anything themselves. The man
who is there told US the other day
when we asked him about cleaning
some of the rubbish out of the drive
way that he had nothing to do with
that, that it was street anr the duty
to KEEP up the streets and to clean the
rubbish out was part of the duty of
the town. We do mot know about
that, but if it is then the town should
send it's force over there and spend at
least a half hour cleaning out the
strets and filing up the bitches and
make some sort of effort to keep them
from washing into gulleys. Here is a
good work for the civic ASSOCIATION
and more important than having the
paving extended.

Tn going to Wh;tmire on Mond:

In going to Wh;tmire on Monday
afternoon we drove down by the CD
son place, now the Brown place, and
on by Kings creek. The road IS Dad
and especially from Kings creek to
Mr.. John NJ. Suber's. From there to
VIII mire it is very good. The cross
ing at Indian creek is bad and the
high hill leading up to Mr.. Suoer
is about as bad as it ever gets at this
time of the year.
The new road that is being built
is going around by Be- n Eden and
comes into the Appalachian highway
at Mr.. John Bakers. Just how 1t IS
going from here we do not know. We
understand that It is to come into
Whitmire around by Mt. Tabor church
leaving the Appalachian highway Just
above Mr.. John NJ. Suber's, but OF this
we ar not sure There are great
many hills all through this section and
it is going to be a difficult road to
build any way you go, but by good
engineering they may be ahie tc SO

This is what Mr.. C. F. Jenkinson Of
312 W. Liberty ST., Sumter. S: C.. says,
For Il number of years / have suf-
fered from rheumatism and awful pains
in my back and limbs. Sometimes 1t
seemed / could not keep at work for
those terrible pains. My appetite fel!
of. didn't sleep well. and was bothered
with constipation very much. Recently
my joints and hands began to swell up
and were very painful. and my muscles
ached. had about decided that
couldn't ever get straight again. as every,
thing had tried failed. A friend asked

and it is truly wonderful the good 1t mas

the pains have left me. My appetite nas

helped me when other things have Ialleu;
and don't hesitate to speak sooo
word for it."
Dreco is a harmless remedy. but sure
and certain. 1t is made from the pure:
natural juices of roots and herbs ana
contains no mineral acids or dangerous

Thursday evening. 1t was under the
direction Of the civic association and
called for the purpose of talking
about the school and the Improvement
of the conditions and bettering the
school. tell you the people are wax
ing up and you will hear noise soon
that will arouse some other things.
l say things, yes, that's good word.
The people of this district want a high
school and it seems to me that they
should have one and am going to do
what l can to help them to get it. IT
we do not get one this year We will
put on another teacher and run a
nine months school. Watch Po-
maria now and see omething
doing in school matters. There
was a fine meeting on Thurs
day evening. The people show
ed the right spirit and much interest.
Mr.. J. H. Bedenbaugh was present
and made a good talk. He is going to
teach the school the coming year.

Josephus Daniels, former secretary
of the navy, in speech at Anderson
the other day stated that failure OF
America to ratify the peace treaty
had more to do with the business DC
pression than any other one cause ano
that it was responsible for the low
nrice of cotton and the cry that there
is over production, and therefore 70
demand for the cotton. And we have
heen and are of the same opinion as
Mr.. Daniels and have said so several
times before this. About three
fourths of our cotton was sold abroad
and the failure to ratify the treaty
has been responsible in large measure
for the taking away from the produc-
er the large market for his products.
And there is going to be continued
depression until peace treaty IS
signed and the channels of the normal
trade are opened. 1t has helped to
make few people rich,but the real
nroducers of all the wealth OF the
world. and the only wealth, have had
n snffer and are still suffering.

The above story was written for the
last issue of the paper, but so many
ads came in at the last moment that
some other stuff had to give way that
the pat which kept the mill grinding
might have right of way. The editor
or the reporter or the correspondent
always feels that lis stuff should have
the right of way. but the one VINO IS
in the counting room can appreciate
very keenly the kind of stuff that
must have the right Of way in the or
dinary country newspaper if the nlll
is to keep grinding. So it happens
sometimes that what even the editor
or the reporter or the correspondent
NAV deem as exceedingly Important
almost in the class of the d. i. m. class
has to be held over for subsequent
issue to give room for that when
keeps the wheels going round ana

ing of lawabiding citizenship than
the organization Of the finest system
Of policemen that you could possibly
organize. And that it will be worth
whole lot more to our county, and
we will feel better and be better to
be known as the county that has the
finest system of schools in the state,
than the county that has he finest jail,
though we5are and should all be proud
that we have made it so that the
prisoners will have humane treatment.
That is right and proper but what we
want is for our people to realize that
the department Of education in the
county is no longer simply a dlsburs-
ing office, where the school claims are
approved, but that il is in reality the
most important department of the
county government, and that good
school in every community in New
berry county will do more and be
worth more in the development of a
fine citizenship, and will be more po-
tent in the uplift of our people, than
any other factor in the county. TO
that end the people must magnify the
office and the department, not the Of
ficer, and let our legislative delegation
understand that when they come to
consider matters pertaining to the ed
ucation of our children they are con-
sidering the most vital thing that has
to do with the life of this county, and
the most important. So if l can get
the people to read this column l VIII
get them interested and when the
people get aroused they will do things
or know the reason why. And this all
leads me to remark what l have said
MANY times before, that we can not
even begin to lay the foundation for
any sort of system of schools
in this county, and to build
for the future, until we know
where the school district lines are, and
that one of the most important things
in the development Of school system
for the county is to have the hnes
made and map of the county so that
we NAV know what we are dong
when we come to consider the build
ing of a school house, and this thlng
| have asked the legislative delega-
ton to do, but my request has fai!eh
on deaf ears. Not even considered.
One wear is lost and may be another
will be, but the thing VIII come the
next year but the children are not
waiting, they are passing on out OF
the schools. Gentlemen, the chlldref
are the biggest asset the county has.
Worth more than the hcgs and the
cattle. But more Of this for another
issue.

There can be no overproGuction Of

there are peoples in the world suffer
ing for the lack of proper clothing
and starving for the lack of proper

peoples of the world, and give them
an opportunity to go to work and
make what they need to eat and to
wear. 1t would be whole lot better
than to beg for them and to give them

We notice from our local columns
that there has bee one colored driver
brought before, the magistrate for
speeding and a fine of $40 imposed.
That is all right, but we would like
to see some of the fellows higher up
brought up for this speeding business,
so that the people who travel may be
assured that there is no respector OF
person in this matter If the travelling
public comes to understand that they
will be pulled if they speed on these
roads there will be less of it, and the
only way to teach them is to BRING
them up when they violate the law.
Over in Greenwood county and IN
Laurens county they are bringing
them up for violating the speed law
and the travellers are beginning to re-
alize the fact that they will be fined
if thew violate the law, and there IS
more respect for it. It is not only
necessary to stop the speeding in Or
der to save the lives of the people
who travel, but it is also necessary IN
order to save the roads. Twenty-Five
miles the hour is plenty fast on any
road. It is abou,t the speed of pas
senger train in this section where the
train has a track upon which to Eun
and nothing is supposed to be in the
way.

people. Typographical errors occur
