pile to recognize the early symptoms
'of Cancer, in order that its victims
may obtain prompt assistance and
check the trouble in it's beginning
when cure can be effected. When
the disease is far advanced it is al
ways fatal; there IS NO LATE cure
for ccncer. In the EARLY recogni-
ton of cancer lies the hope of cure!
Ninety thousand people die yearly
of cancer in the United States and
the number of deaths from this dis
ease is steadily increasing. Many OF
these lives could .ce saved if the
treatment of the disease were begun
in time. Today ninety thousand peo-
'ple have cancer in an early and cur
able stage; a majority of these will
die Of the disease unless they seek
trea tment in time to be cured.
Is it not still true, as Of old, that
we are our brothers keepers? Will
you not help this cause by informing
yourself of the early signs and symp-
toms of cancer and by spreading the

THE FAIR CT COLORED
PEOPLE ENCOURAGING

The Colcred Agricultural and In
dustrial association OF Newberry
county held its fourth fair, beginning
Nov. 9 to II, 1922.
I had intended to say word about
the fair last week and think it would
not be fair not to say anything of it.
The motto of the fair is to encourage
farming. and that ecah farmer stick
to the farm which will be the means
Of better success.
The farm floats were fine: Corn,
white and yellow; peas of different
varieties; potatoes. molasses and
pumpkins, in fact most everything
that is raised on the farm; lastly, wa
termelons. The poultry floats we're
fine. The fancy work made by hand
from the women was the finest | ever
saw, and all coming from different
parts Of the county, which will make
the fair success in the future. This
was the best one we have ever had,
but not 50 largely attended as l eX-
pected.
Prizes were given on horse racing
which was very amusing. Bud Clark,
first prize; Vancy Jones, second.
There are number Of cash prizes to
be given which the committee vii!
soon get together and pay.
We had promises of sevcla! ad-
! dresses to be delivered by scme Of
our noted white friends and coiored
but to our surprise We were disap-
! pointed. I was very sorry Of the dis
appointment, as the addresses would
have been much appreciated by al
concerned.
Saturday the Oakland mill bano

growing food crops sufficient to care
for man and beast was stressed ana
the opinion was voiced that the day OF
absentee ownership has passed. The
white brain IS needed to raise cotton
under weevil conditions, and the or
dinary negro laborer is not able to
;cope with the pest unless under white
guidance, it was said.
Recommendation
The following recommendations to
the cotton growers of the state were
unanimously adopted:
Destroy the weevils' winter quar-
teys by plowing under cotton and corn
stalks and by cleaning terraces,
ditch banks and other trash on the
farm.
Prepare land early and thorough

rieties. Among the best varieties
are Lightning Express, Cleveland Big

"Use fertilizers sufficient such as
should make an average bale per acre

presence of the wecvii. This varies
on individual farms. Make side ap-
plications of soda early before first

PLANT as soon as ground is warm.
All cotton in a given community
should be planted at about the same
! time (from the first to the middle OF

"Practice frequent shallow cultiva-
