Pisgah News and Views.

Pisgah, May 15.-Friday, May
5th a cloud burst occurred here
and went in a barrow streak across
the state as far as Marlboro. 1t
was the heaviest fall OF water here
in years and did a great deal of
damage. Cotton was killed by it,
and now the land is planted in
corn. Crops are looking very well.
Wheat no good; fall oats very good.
Owing to the numerous suicides
and killings in this state, Ken
lucky has lost out and South Car
DINA has won.
All honor to the supreme court
in it's effort to put 2 stop to appeals
that have no merit in them.
Rev. Dendy, the Pissah pastor,
preached a great sermon yesterday
at Pisgah church. His theme was
Mother, and his discourse was
worthy of the subject and the man
who preached it.
PiSgah church invited the Sun
day School convention Of the Kerr
shaw Association to meet here on
fifth Saturday and Sunday in July.
The First Baptist church Of Char
lesion is the oldest in the south as
we'll as in the state. 1t was Or
ganized in 1858, n hundred years
before the city was incorporated.
It has sent out about forty preach
ers in its long life. Many Of them
have and are, great ones.
The Pisgah young mems baseball
club will serve light refreshments
at the Pisgah public school house
on Friday evening, May 10th. Come
out and help the young men IN
their efforts to have innocent
amusement. Several old men say
they are going to play baseball
again. Men T simply big boys.
The writer acknowledges an in
vitation by the city OF Darlington to
attend, AS it's guest, The old sol
diers' reunion this week. The old
boys are going to have another
fine time like Sumter and Camden.

In his talk here Mr.. H. S. Mob
ley used the above chart with tell
ing effect.
ITO harness a COW and a hen and
a hog to furnish farm power would
be a huge joke to most of u.s.
said Mr.. Mobley. 'AThat was the
way it appeared to a school boy at
one of my meetings. When he saw
the chart, he laughed aloud and
said, That kind of a team isn't
worth much
Thousands of US have the
same idea, but it is a mistaken
idea. The patient cow, the indus
trious hen, the ~fast-growing hog.
produce results that r astonish-
ing. Each year this team produces
for the farmers, approximately $4,-
450, 900. If this amount were
equally distributed among u sia
and one-half million farms, il
would give each farm more than
$500 a year.
From the standpoint Of pro
duction this is the most powerful,
team a farmer can use. I have
never knowp a farmer who used
this kind of n team who did MOI
make a good living and a reason.
able amount of money besides"
The meeting in Sumter was
backed by Secretary z. I. Reardor
of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
C. w. Schmolke, dairy expert an6
by the Misunderstanding Live
Stock Company.

Woodrow Wilson
Foundation

srDo YOU eovet distinction? You
will never. get it by serving your
self. Do you covet honor?' You
will get it only as a servant of
Observation-Disclosures Wilson's adj
dress at Swarthmore College, Oc-
tober 5, 1913.
The world is poorer for the men
and wealth that were poured into
the furnaces of war. 1t is richer
for the regenerated spirit Of ideal
ism, that FURNISHED the record of
four terrible years, and the leader
of that spiritual force which en-
listed the hopes Of mankind was
an An .rican-Woodrow Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson saw beyond the
momentous conflict Of his day and
made clear to men certain ideals
of world relationship that helped
them to prosecute the ugly bust
ness of war until victory rested
with the people of democracy.
| Plain men, the mon in the ranks,
had begun to believe that the
world had come to "a pass where
living was beyond endurance; yet
they felt. vaguely maybe, that they
were fighting and dying to estab-
lish some principle Of human free
dom which would in effect consti-
tute a rebirth Of civilization. Ii
remained for the American to be-
come their highly articulate spokes-
man. BY word and deed he clari-
fed the issue so that all the world
could see it as a struggle between
democracy and a~utocracy.
Those years are rapidly reced-
ing into the background. Wood
row Wilson has passed from the
political stage. Much that he set
out to do is still undone. Some
believe that he failed utterly. But
the number grows, and will con-
tinue to grow, of those who see
through the confusion Of conflict
ing opinion to the epic fight for ar
! American for a great American
ideal-for democracy and human
freedom.
Any student OF Mr.. Wilson's life,
any undertaking related to him,
| must come to consider this ques-
ton: What is the motive that actu-
ated him in his public life? His
ideals have been published to the
world; but what is the source from
which they come? The answer
seems to be found in those words
uttered early in his first term as
President of the United States. DO
you covet distinction? You will
never get it by serving yourself.
Do you covet honor? You will get
it only as u servant of mankind
The foundation created in his
name can find no better watch
words.

Crates For Truck
Secretary Reardon Trying to
Assist Sumter County
Truckers

In order to facilitate, If possible,
the purchase Of baskets, crates, and
hampers for shipping truck, Secre-
tary Reardon has sent IN the
names and addresses of all the
truck growers he knows Of to four
crate factories, with the request
that these factories will immediate
Iy quote prices in carlot and less
than carlol shipments to truckers.
The names of the factories written
to are given for information OF
truck growers who may want to
write without awaiting quotations
from the factories:
Mt. Olive Manufacturing Co., Mt.
Olive, n. C.
Farmers Manufacturing Co..
Norfolk, Va.
w. B. Rast & Son, Swansea, S. c.
Green Crate and Box Company,
WiIliston, S. c.
The first two named factories
have already sold crates, baskets.
and hampers to Sumter county
truckers. and the last two named
were recommended by County
Agent Gray of Clarendon county,
who ordered baskets and barrels
for Clarendon county farmers from
these two concerns.
AS soon as quotations are re-
ceived it is suggested that there be
a meeting of truck growers at sum-
ter and as many as possible pool
their purchases and order retainers
in carlot shipments because the
prices in quantities as we'll as the
freight rates Will be considerably
cheaper. In Clarendon county, the
county agent Mr.. Gray says that
the bean and Irish. potato growers
met at the court house and put up
the cash for the retainers, plus the
freight charges and the money was
deposited to the credit Of the coun-
ty agent who paid for the baskets
and barrels o narrival. No time is
to be lost if the retainers are to be
secured in time. In the meantime
when price quotations are obtained
the chamber of commerce will be
glad to furnish information to every
truck grower in Sumter, Lee and
Clarendon counties who apply for
this information. Amy ircorma-
ito nregarding the best and the
quickest way to secure retainers
will be appreciated by Secretary
Reardon who will do the best he
knows how to assist the truck
