Fate has turned and the land which
the white man took away from the
Indians, in the North and East, is as
it was in the beginning, but the strip
of land left to- the Indians as their
spiecal home has developed oil fields
of fabulous richness yielding i'm
mense. amounts: ::fo. money to the os-
ages, so that they and their descend
ants will be independent forever.
After ALL; the Indian seems to be
coming back into his own, for Provi-

Baptist church, Mr.. Guy Forrest,

every young person identified with
the church will join. The meetings
will be held one hour previous to the
preaching service. Once a month a

Sunday was promotion day at the
Baptist church, and the order of SER

were promotions from every class,
from the beginners to the Fidelis

both warmly attached and the separ-
alton was felt by both, but the pro-
motion was necessary for the well
organized school. The beginners class
was given new room as it had out
grown its present quarters.

RED OAK GROVE
West Side Has Best Roads in.
Forty Years. Everybody
Planting Their Fall
Gardens.

The refreshing rain has helped
everything and everybody. Grass was
dying, pastures Of course, insufficient:
and the milk supply being cut, as was
vegetables. We country folks, with
no money had two thoughts coming
our way.
Since our "good roads" man came
our way and has built such roads as
western Edgefeld has not for forty
years enjoyed, we are surely loathei
to complain, but extend good wishes
to the builders, and congratulations
to ourselves.
Gardening seems the order of the
day Many having had good pros
poets for turnips had to replant. Let
everybody though, persevere in win
ter gardens for it is health and econ-i
omy.
We had very large attendance
at prayer meeting on last Wednes-
day evening. Mr.. w. A. Dow conduc-
ted the service. Friendship is this
weeks subject.
We are delighted and rejoice to
learn of the commendable steps be-
ing taken for law and order and we
trust much good may be accomplish
ed. If our people everywhere will live
up to the principles contained there
by, we would not need SO much
church machinery.
The world it seems is moving in
an atmosphere of rapidity, and the
tendency of the day it fast demoral-
izing its people. We have almost come
to conclude it is not well for the hap
penings of the day to be printed, our
newspapers are exciting to read as
they contain so many sad and tragic
happenings.

The General Assembly's Op-
portunity.

Before the people become overex-
ercited about taxes, it is well to bear
in mind that the next General As
senlbly can, if it will, reduce the tax
levy substantially by adopting wholly
or in part the plan suggested by Sen
ator Marion and his legislative COM
mittee, Governor Cooper, Mr.. Kohn
and others who have given the sub
ject studious attention.
The State has suggested that the
imposed tax on gasoline, for example,
might run counter to the federal con-
stitution but, meantime, number of
states are actually imposing and col
lecting this tax.
/, If it shall be resorted to in South
Carolina, probably it will be, the
revenues so derived would make pos
sible perhaps ten per cent. reduc-
ton in the present State tax levy.
The gasoline tax is but one of many
devices available for increasing the
revenues and extending relief to visi-
BILE property, lands and houses, of a
large part of their burdens.
The General Assembly will have no
excuse if it fails at it's next session
to enact measures in the direction
of s.ppeasing the dissatisfaction. and
wrath that is said to be general 1t
can reduce taxes on real estate more
at one session than subsequent Gen
eral Assemblies, though they be ad-
wed by extreme economists in. the
governors Office, can reduce them in
half dozen years.
The General Assembly in Office has
an untouched field in which to op-
perate.-Thee State:

GIVE PLENTY OF VEGETABLES
Material Furnished to Growing Child
for Forming Bone and Tissue
Mild Acids Helpful.

Vegetables and fruits are now con-
sidered Il necessary part of the diet
of the child. The reasons are many,
but most of them may be summed up
by saying that they furnish material
needed to form bone and tissue and
to regulate body processes. The mild
acids which some of them contain help
to prevent constipation so, too, does
the cellulose or fiber, especially when
it is raw, though its value for this pur-
pose may have been exaggerated in
popular literature.
Green vegetables are also valuable
means of introducing into the diet
mineral matters, particularly iron, in
a form in which the body can utilize
them. Even at city prices green vege-'
tables have been shown to be an
economical source of iron. Leaf vege-
tables, like spinach, beet green's, kale,
etc, have recently been found to con-
tain some of the growth-promoting
substances that are found in milk.

FAVOR PLASTER FOR

Most Common and Generally Sat-
isfactory Material.

Colors Are Best.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
The commonest and most generally
satisfactory material for the walls and
ceiling of the farm kitchen is plaster.
The mortar must be properly mixed
and applied to prevent the development
of cracks and blisters and injury to
the surface finish. For the same rea-
son freshly plastered walls should
be allowed to dry thoroughly before
the finishing surface is applied. In
stead of plaster, some of the compost
ton boards that do not warp may be
used. They may be painted or papered
and vanished, but before this Is done
nail holes should be filed with plastic
filler made for the purpose. Steel
wall and ceiling coverings are durable
when they are kept well painted to
prevent rusting by steam. Tile and
vitrified brick, well glazed and
matched, afford an excellent wall sur
face, but they are costly. Metal tiles
are cheaper and nearly as satisfactory.
The most desirable finish for walls
and ceiling is one that will not peel
or crack and can be easily washed
or very cheaply and readily renewed.
A good oil paint gives general salts
faction; 1t can be brushed off with
dry wall Drush or cleaned more thor
oughly with a damp cloth and mild
soap; Wall paper unless vanished,
is. very easily loosened by the steam
from cooking. A wall covering re-
sembling oilcloth is somewhat more
expensive, but 1t Is more durable, and
has a smooth washable surface. Wa
ter must be used very sparingly on
wall covering of this kind, for If 1t
seeps in. the seams the wall covering
will become loosened.
The best color or tint for the kitchen
walls is determined by the location and
lighting of the room, say household
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Light colors
are preferable for dark rooms because
they reflect and dlffuse the light into
darker parts of the room. while dark
colors absorb a much larger proportion
of the light. Where the principal ex-
posure is toward the south, greenish
grays are desirable, but If toward the
north or east, with little opportunity
for sunshine, the light yellows or
creams are better Two shades of
brown often give satisfactory finish.
