Immediately after lunch was fln- ished Eve retired to her own room to make an elaborate toilette for her Julian.
 She arranged her coiffure in the very latest style. No, that didn't suit her! she reflected. So she took the pins out and proceeded to the beauti- lying of her complexion.
 She applied hot cloths to her cheeks then cold-to get the right amount of natural color Julian wasn't keen on too much make-up-he had told her so.
 Miss Eve then rubbed in some cold cream, and over 1t she lightly dusted considerable amount of scented powder. Julian was fond of scented kisses.
 She then applied the merest hint of rouge. The hint" looked like a tiny blush on each of Eyes smooth checks.
 She hunted for her lip salve till she found it. Then--carefully-she exc cuted an artistic carmine curve.
 A touch of black on each eyebrow and the merest "soupcon" on the lashes. Eve looked knowing now and very French, she told herself!
 She arranged her blonde locks in a soft, becoming fashion. Upon this coiffure she now perched very dar- ing little hat. It was fashioned of gold tissue and was particularly chic,
 T look stunningr' .quoth the lady to the saucy image in the glass. Let's hope that Julian is impressed! She decided that she'd take the car to the railway station and dismiss 1t there, so that she might have the pleasure of the walk home tete-a-tete at Jul ans side.
 Eve had no sooners left the house

ENDING OF FISCAL YEAR YEAR FINDS PLANT. IN GOOD CONDITION.
Contracts for 0utIaying Work Completed and Nitrate Can Be Turned Out on
 Short Order

Florence. July Special )-The passing of the government fiscal year on June 30 found much work at nitrate plant No. ? completed that had been started or contracted for before the beginning of that year.
 Although the big plant operated perfectly at the last test period on which 1t was operated, there were many parts that needed to be per fected' and quite a number of changes in equipment that were found to be necessary, so crews ot workmen of four constructing com panies and representatives of the ordnance department of the United States army have been busy for sew eral months finishing up this work.
 The Claxton Constructing company of Wilmington, N C., had the con tract for connecting the electrical transmission line of .000 volts to Nitrate plant No. 1 in Sheffield. The terminus of this line. which comes from the plant of the Alabama Power company at Gorgas, formerly was at nitrate plant No. 2, and the compile tion of the line to Sheffield makes available plenty of power from the Gorgas plant in case of necessity. Limestone Quarry
 
 been developed, and made ready for immediate use. Tracks connecting the quarry with the Southern rail- way have been layed. A giant crusher has been installed at the quarry so that the limestone can be prepared for use at nitrate plant No. g. The work at Waco was done by the Arthur G. Mckee company of | Cleveland.
 The Union Insulating and Con- struction company of Chicago had the contract for building dumping trestle at the raw material yard at plant No. 2, also an ash pit hoist at the steam power plant on the Ten nessee river, and a skip hoist at the process boiler house. This work has all been completed.
 The Sutherland Construction com | pany of St Louis installed quite a bit of new equipment, including the plant telephone equipment. In ad- dition they had the contract for re- surfacing the plant roads and build | ing some new macadam roads ln- side the government reservation. | Minor work has been done by the ordnance department under the di- rection of John F. Gordon, plant en- 1 gineer.
 All of the work undertaken mas been completed and accepted by the government. Those in charge state that the plant is in first-class con dition and is capable of producing nitrate for Uncle Sam on short no- tice; in fact, the big undertaking now stands a finished job in its every detail.
 It has been announced that the of | flee of the constructing quartermas- ter will be closed on July l5. on July 1 reduction in the working force at both nitrate plants and Will son dam was put into effect, and the only men left on the government pay roll are those necessary to maintain the property in stand by condi- | tion"

Al Blair has returned to Cordova from the Tazuuna divide where he has been doing some assessment work on some mining property owned by him, and also trapping our a fur pocket in that section. MT. Blair experienced untold hard ships on the trip and nearly lost his life from sickness and freezing, the weather being about 10 below and his supplies gone. Deep snow was encountered on the lower foothills, and he was four days going five miles, in many places the snow be- ing to his waist and too soft for shoeing. Mir. Blair. was forced to leave his blankets, fur robes, and the greater part of his provisions at the camp and travel light, in or der to reach the Copper river rail- road, and siwashed it a number of nights, being sick and unfit to travel from the start. Realizing that delay might force him to spend ptecarious winter in the foothills he determined to make the trip out. He was but a shadow when he reached shelter, and it took several days to recuperate.
 MT. Blair killed a large grizzly just before leaving for the coast, shooting the animal seven times with a 30 U. s. the bear dying standing on bis hind legs in the snow. The country is overrun with marten and beaver, and MT. Blair states that the law prohibiting the killing of these animals should be repealed or trapping cease alto gether.
 MT. Blair left for his trapping site on Gravina bay the latter part of the week.

Following the seizure of 7I4 mar ten and 6oo beaver pelts about a year ago, Peter Vachon, accused of sending the furs through the To- lovana postoffice, as parcel post matter, was bound over to the fed- eral grand jury, which last March returned two indictments contain ing about S counts, charging Va chon with illegal use of a common carrier. The attorney general at Washington ruled that the U. s. mail service is not a common car rier and the indictments were dis missed. Nachon was re.arrested on a charge of attempting to de- fraud the Government. He was found not guilty. The furs are still held, and it is estimated they have depreciated in value $50, ,ooo.

First Sermon in Edge6eld.

Mr.. Douglas Zimmerman preach
ed his first sermon in Edgefeld in
the Baptist church Sunday morning.
Although he had but a short time in
which to prepare the sermon, it was
a splendid, well rendered discourse
which would have done credit to a
veteran in the ministry. His manner
in the pulpit was easy, graceful and
altogether pleasing to the large con-
gregation which assembled to hear
him. At the close of the service scores
rushed to the front to express their
commentator and to bid him God
speed in his life of sacrifice and SER
vice of his Master. The Edgefield
church is very proud of Douglas Tim
norman, as was shown by the ova-
tion Sunday morning.

Mass Meeting of Farmers.

Elsewhere in this issue is found
an announcement of a mass meet
ing of farmers to be held in the
school building at Johnston, Thurs
day morning, August 1S, at ten
o'clock. While probably other things
of interest to farmers will doubtless
be discussed, yet the leading ques-
ton will be dairying. Experts and
specialists from Clemson College and
from the United States Department
of Agriculture will be present and
deliver addresses that well be help
full. There is no denying the fact that
farmers, and consequently every 9th
er interest and business, stand face
to face with an insurmountable
brick wall, so to speak, and they
know not which way to turn for re-
lief. The mass meeting at Johnston is
called for the purpose of opening up
some new avenue of relief. The time
has come when we must leave off cot
ton as certainly and as speedily as
we would desert a sinking ship. Fur
Their dependence upon cotton as a
money crop spells BANKRUPTCY.
Attend the mass meeting at john
ston Thursday of next week.
