PEACHES FROM McBEE

Washington, July 28.-"The peach
industry at McBee, S. c., in my dis
trict," said Representative Stevenson
today, "bids fair to take its place
along with the Elberta section of
Georgia, with the advantage of be-
ing from IL to Is hours nearer the
Northern markets. Within the last
week over two car loads of peaches
have been received by the Washing
ton markets from one shipper, and
highly commended by the trade. When
the growers acquire skill in assort-
ing and packing, which only can be
acquired by experience, their peaches
will have no superior on these mar
ke,s, and when shipped in refriger-
atcr cars, they are received in excel
lent shape here.
Some of these peaches have been
received at the capitol with in the
las few days and both senators and
representatives have been high in
their praise of the McBee product,
commenting especially on the de-
lif tful flavor of the peach.
This is an industry which the
re. dents of this section should de-
velop on a commercial scale, and
rai%e something that has ready mar
ket, and something for their money
crop, other than cotton.
Among the pioneer peach growers
in the McBee section are : H. R. Nc

does supply AND DEMAND"
SOLVE THE WHOLE PROBLEM

One Of my neighbors says there is
nothing wrong with our present sys-
tenn of marketing; that all we need
to do is to regulate the supply as to
avoid overproduction, and then the
great law of supply and demand will
insure us profitable prices"
OF course supply and demand have
a great deal to do with prices. On the
other hand, it is also true that with
the same identical conditions of
merchandising farm products should
bring us twice as great. neU profits
as the present system of dumping
farm products.
Suppose the laborers of America
give up their labor unions and every
laborer set out to get work for him
self on the principle of "every man
for himself and the devil take the
hindmost." You might have the same
identical conditions of "demand"-
that is, the same number of Anteri-
: can factories, shops, mills, mines,
, railways,and, steamships wanting Ia
borers; and you might have the
same identical number of
laborers wanting work: nevertheless,
with every laborer competing with
every other laborer for jobs, the net
profits of labor would not be half
what they are today when labor is
intelligently marketed through CO.
operative effort.
In the same fashion, we may have
in prospect for any given year the
same identical conditions of supply
and demand for crop, but if farm
ers persist in selling every man for
himself, simply helplessly asking
"How much will you give?" and
helplessly accepting what is offered,
then farmers profits may not be half
what they would be if farmers sold
gradually, intelligently, scientifically,
f, in large quantities accurately grad
ed, property financed, through ex-
pert selling agents.
| Let's remember these two facts: (D
The law of supply and demand has
great deal to do with prices. (2)
Nevertheless, with the same gen raj
conditions of supply and demand
that is, with the same quantity of
cotton or tobacco in prospect in any
given year and the same number of
factories wanting cotton or tobac-
Ca system of intelligently mar
keting the crop may double the net
profits for the farmer-The Progress
sive Farmer.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The Chamber of Deputies of France
recently passed law requiring physi-
cal education of all children through
the 18th year. Japan has had physi-
cal education Of children for 20
years. Sweden has had universal
physical education for very long
time. Great Britain provides national
cooperation with local communities
having physical education.
The United States claims to be the
most progressive country in the
world. Yet it is away behind these
other nations in physical training. Not
over one-tenth of our school pupils
have this form of development Re-
cent school surveys have shown that
more than half Of the school children
are below par physically. The ex-
pcrience of draft boards demonstrate
that one-third of our young men are
not physically fit.
1t seems strange that the United
States, which is as rich as when it
entered the war, can not do as much
for it's children as the debt-laden ma
tions of Europe. There are differ
onces of opinion as to whether physi-
cal education should be federal or
state enterprise, but that is d minor
point. The essential thing is to do
something to turn out physically eff.
ficient race of young people.
A great deal of industrial ineaici.
ency is caused by poor physical con.
dition. The boy or girl who has halt
developed body feels perpetually tir
ed. The army did not want him, be-
cause he could not stand the strain
He is equally detriment to a store
or factory. He drags through hi.
work in half-hearted way. He lack.
the mental energy to improve the
quality of his performance, ant
drags along from year to year looking
at the clock and hoping for quitting
time.
The country can not attain a higl
range of well being, until it take.
steps to build up a new generation
having strong bodies, able to cop,
with the work of life. There ar,
many young people in Chesterfield
county who will be condemned t,
failure and encouragement unles
they get this kind of training in tn,
schools.

was offered $1.35 a pound for his
cotton last year he let the spinners
have it. AS to present conditions, Mr.
Williamson says, when one goes "

lem of coming down-the higher one
goes the more he>will have to ccmn
down. This country had assembled be-
tween 1900 to 1900 feet and the
coming down was hard but inevitable.
Mr.. Williamson is a firm believer
in the velvet bean for purposes of
enriching the soil and says he plants
onehalf his land in this crop. He sows
them broadcast. A ton of velvet
beans plowed in the soil is nearly
equal to a ton of 1873.
He believes the boil weevil will
prove to be blessing in disguise.

HOME DEMONSTRATION DEPT.
BY Miss Mary C. Haynie


1. Straw Hats. For soiied light
(straw) use salts of lemon, oxalic
acid solution or peroxide, to remove
spots and to restore the natural
whiteness. For light colored straw
hats, remove the spots then restore
the original color by applying solu-
ton of The desired tint, made of oil
paint and gasoline. In applying, put
it on quickly and evenly in order to
avoid streaking. If the hat is very
badly soiled and sun burned, change
the color to darker one by apply
ing commercial hat dye, which is
obtainable in small bottles. To iron a
fiat straw hat to restore shape: Place
hat on a table with wet cloth over
it; iron with hot iron until dry.
2. Velvet. This material is known
as pile fabric, and may be silk
throughout, or silk pile with cot
ton back. The pile becomes fiat by be-
ing pressed down; whereupon it
losses its natural beauty. Before ap-
plying the methods for raising the
pile the velvet must be clean. This
may be accomplished by using the
dry-cleaning method already describ-
ed.
Steaming velvet. To raise the pile
proceed as follows: Pass the velvet
back and forth over a steaming tea
kettle, at the same time using soft
brush to loosen the pile. This applies
particularly to velvet hats. For
steaming velvet ribbon,i place wet
cloth over a very hot iron, and draw
the ribbon back and forth over it
with the wrong side of the velvet
next to the cloth. Brushing the pile
at the same time helps to raise it.
Artificial flowers. The sun and
heat soon fade the colors of flowers,
and consequently the hat looks shah
by. The color may be restored, or
changed, if desired, by using oil
paint. Place some of the paint in a
cup and add enough gasoline to bring
the paint to the shade desired. With a
small brush apply the solution to the
flowers and allow to dry before re-
placing on the hat. Water colors may
also be used to freshen the flowers.
Feathers. Solid feathers, such as
ostrich, aigretes, etc., can be clean
ed by the dry-cleaning method. or by
washing gently in a soapy lather,
rinsing in a clear water and drying
carefully. The color may be restored
by dipping in a solution of oil paint
and gasoline.
Ribbons. Usually ribbons on a hat
will have become so deteriorated that
it is hardly worth while to try to
renovate them. If-thesceAditien of tho
ribbon is good, it can be cleaned and
used again. First, brush it thoroughly
to get out the dust; then wash it in
warm water and soap. or else dry
clean it. Press with a moderately hot
iron, being careful to place cloth
over the ribbon so the hot iron will
not make the ribbon glossy.

DENIES REPORTS OF
PELLAGRA PLAGUE

"This office has had no intimations
from physicians over South Carolina
that pcllagra has become epidemic,' y
aid DR.. James A. Hayne, state health
officer, when speaking of the dis
patches sent out from Washington to
the effect that President Harding was
alarmed at reports of threatened
'semi-faminc" coupled with an epi-
demic of pellagra in the cotton pro-
| ducing states.
Il was' surprise dat the reports
sent out from Washington, there is
no plague of pellagra in South Caro-
iian so far as this office is advised.
L plan at once to circularizc the
physicians of the state, asking them
to give me the number of cases in
their communities in order to ascer-
tain definitely the occurrence Of pei
lagra.
In 1915 there were approximately
1000 deaths from pellagra in South
Carolina. The deaths from pellagra
in 1919 were 800 and in 1920 thew
totalled 219.
"The number of cases OF pellagra
reported in May, 1920, was 27 and
in June of the same year Id. The
number of deaths in May, 1920, was
20; the number of deaths in June of
the same year was 29.
"The number of cases of pellagra
reported in May, 1921, was five;
eight cases were reported during
June. The deaths for May of this
year numbered %; the number Of
deaths in June of this year was 49,"
Continuing his discussion of the
reports from Washington DR.. Hayne
said: The whole Washington report
seems an attempt to cast reflections
on the South and on the conditions
down here. 1 don't suppose the public
service is Intentionally giving out in
correct information as to this story
of threatened famine and pellagra
epidemic, but l feel sure that further
investigation will reveal no such con-
ditions as are mentioned in the dis
patches"
DR.. Hayne is sending a report on
conditions in this state to the pub
lie health service headquarters in
Washington.-The State.
