Clemson Notes.

1t seems that Clemson has not been
able to put out a winning football
team this year. but she sure did put
out a bountiful Thanksgiving din
rer Sunday.
Due to the fact that large num-
ber of permits were issued for Thurs
day the regular Thanksgiving din
ner was served Sunday. Everything
that person could wish for was had
in abundance. After dinner. all of
the cadets were supplied with cigar
cites. cigars, fruit and assorted nuts.
The Riverside" foot ball game
played several Sundays ago, was a
complete walkover. The army held
Riverside team to 0 score. while
they walked away with IS points
Colonel Pearson and Captain Lee did
fine work for the army. Each River
side player was penalized two weeks
or 10-5.

WEATHER DAMAGES COTTON
Commissioner Rivers Of
fers Some Wholesome Advice.

In Il statement recently issued by
Thomas w. Tannor, specialist in cot
ton marketing, with the L. ;. De
partment of Agriculture has the fol-
lowing 10 say:
"A series of experiments conduct
ed recently by the Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates have shown
that bale of cotton placed out in
he open. flat on the ground with no
covering was damaged to the extent
OF $40 pounds at the end of eight
months Another bale placed on edge
with no further attention. los l67
pounds. 4 bale on edge and turned
over once d week, lost 40 pounds
bale on timbers off the ground and
turned over once week. lost 40
pounds. and Il bale placed on timbers
and covered with tarpaulin lost but
j pounds. A warehouse bale of cot
ton during the same period lost on
lly / pound.
In travelling over thu different
counties OF my district Florence.
Marion. Horny. Dillon and Williams
burg, l found hundreds and hun
dreds of bales out in the open. Very
often l stop and ask the farmer why
he let's his cotton remain out in the
open. His reply generally is that il
cost too much TO store it. He does
not realize that il is costinS him scv-
eral times more to keep his cotton
out in the open than il would cost to
store it in Il warehouse
At the present price OF cotton n
farmer can store his cotton on his
own plantation for something less
than $1.75 per bale per year. That
is if he places his warehouse under
the State Warehouse System. Or
he can take his cotton 10 a town
warehouse and he storage will be
something like $500 per year In
either case it would be a great saw
ing to the farmer. Storage includes
insurance.
1t is estimated that in one season
alone the damage TO the cotton from
exposure TO weather is $4,000. 900.
Very truly yours.

THE BLOOD.

A little girl, whose father was a
d1lnkard, was sent out one night to
g6t beer for her father. She heard
some singing in a tent. She stopped
to hear and was scolded and threat
ened with d beating if ever she did
that way again. Some nights later
ihe was sent for more beer. Stopping
Just little while, as she at first
thought, and becoming very deeply
interested in what the preacher was
saying about Jesus shedding his
blood to take away sin. before the lit
tie girl thought about it, some time
had passed. She hurried home with
the beer to be met at the door by the
father, to kicked down stairs by the
the drunken brute. In falling she
was so badly hurt thaht the doctor
was sent for, but he could only tell
them that the little girl was beyond
medical help. When told that she
must die, she asked for the little
lfess on which she had shed her
yBlood while lying on the foot of the
&airs. Then calling for the scissors
e cut out a piece saturated with
BOD, clasped it in her hand. say
a4g when she went to Jesus SHE
would show Him the cloth with her
ilfes blood and tell him she died for
Him.
Surely the dear little child, with
her simple faith and crude under
standing of the way of life, was ad-
mitted into heaven. But what about
the poor wretch who had murdered
his child.-D. w. Hiott3sin Easley

Next n fine forked horn buck. and
the same afternoon Mr.. wilkes went
out for few squirrels. when he came
upon the third buck six points to

killed.

Tt VIII De seen frOm the above that
Dillon county leads all other Pee
Dee counties in production. compar-
ing the number of bales giaaed this
year with the number ginncG up to
the same date last year. According
to the November 9th report Il is
likely that Dillon viii lead the entire
state in production per acre. Here
tCfore Marlboro has occupied first
place with Dillon second. Ninety
seven per cent of the crop has been
picked in the county up to Novem-
ber 18th, and il is estimated that
90 per cent of the county's crop had
been ginned up to that Gate The
total for the county will be about
$4,000 bales as against $4,000 last
year.
