Wilkinsville
Wilkinsyille, Nov. Is.

Wilkinsville, Nov. 10, 1922.
IT was my good pleasure few
days ago to spend awhile on the "Sun
ny Side Farms" This farm contains
bout 1000 acres of fine farm lands
and is owned by Mr.. w. R. Walker OF
Union. 1t is located in the extreme
:Outhern part Of Cherokee county ir
the "fork", with Broad river on the
cast and Pacolet on the west. Mr.
Walker 20 years ago stocked his farm
with Angus cattle bought from Ne
braska, and the best of Berkshire
hogs. Since then hogs and cattle have
been sold in all of the Southern
States. Large acreages are planted
in forage crops that are fed to the
stock and acres 60 to pasture lands
that are hogged off. Near the center
.f the place stands the colonial home
on beautiful elevated place overlook
ing the broad acres Of cultivated lands
sloping toward the west with the hid
den valleys Of Broad and Pacolet riv-
ers just beyond. Stately oaks tinged
in the hues Of autumn, interviewer
with the evergreen of the magnolias
and pines just in the background
make it place that poets and writer's
would languish to leave.
Mr.. Walker saw that when he
changed his lands from the one crop
lotion lands into the stock form that
has grown into that the salvation
Z this country was III diversified
farming and so he took time by the
forelock and when the boil weevil
came he met with some opposition on
his farm.
We Cherokeeans feel justly proud

we can go and learn great lessons

improved farming implements at work

an ample supply Of fresh water for

Antelope of Canada Being

to prevent the extinction Of antelope
in Western Canada are proving sue.
cessful, and the preserve created a,
Foremost, Alta, in 1918 with 80 ami.
mails in captivity, now holds 15C
head.
Known as the Nemiskam park, tho
preserve comprises nine square miles
and the steady growth of the hero
and the absence Of disease is good
evidence that the experiment is like
ly to result in saving this most in
teresting species from the exter
mination which otherwise inevitably
awaits it.
Swifter than the greyhound in
fight, exceedingly graceful and beau
tiful, the antelope has for many years
been a prize for the big game hunt
err, and its numbers have been dimin
ishing of late years with a rapidity
that has aroused the concern of all
lovers Of wild life.
Ten years ago DR.. w. T. Horna

mated that there were 1000 antelope
in Western Canada. Today there are
reported to be only about 1000 in a

&c for the foundation stock cost the
Sardis Farm $500, SO one can see the
stock is the best money can buy. He
has now 60 barrows that are being
fattened for local markets and bred
and INBRED gifts that are sold to
farmers promiscuously at very rea-
sonable prices when the blood Of these
hogs is considered. More than 200
head Of hogs are kept on the farm.
So you see that just here in our

justly feel a sense Of price in as there

those who would learn how to beat

Men don't believe in a devil now as
their fathers used to do.
They have forced the door of the
broadest creed to let his majesty
through.
There isn't print of his cloven foo
or fiery dart from his bow
To be found in earth or air today for
the world has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught
that palsies heart and brain,
And loads the bier of each passing
year with ten hundred thousand
slain7
Who blights the bloom of the land to-
day with the fiery breath of he'll ?
If the devil isn't and never was, won't
somebody rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling
saints and digs the pits for his
feet?
Who sows the tares in the fields
of time whenever God sows
wheat?
The devil is voted not to be and of
course the thing is true;
But who is working the kind of work
the devil alone should do?
We are told he does not 60 about as
roaring lion now,
But whom shall be held responsible
for the everlasting row
To be heard in home, in church and
state to the earth's remotest
bounds;
If the devil by a unanimous vote is
nowhere to be found?
Won't somebody step to the front
forthwith and make his bow and
show
How the frauds and crimes of single
day spring uf? We want to know.
The devil was fairly voted out, and of
course the devil is gone;
But simple people would like to know
who carries his business on.

STEP BY STEP is BETTER.

At last a woman has been sworn
in as a senator of the United States.
True, she served only one day, ha7-
ing been appointed to fill out ar
unexpired term.
But that one day term serves as
a milestone in the political advance
ment of American womanhood, a
milestone that is destined to shine
brightly in the history of our coun-
try.
We decry, however, the apparent
tendency of some Of our women with
political ambitions to scale the
heights at one bound.
It would be much wiser and decid-
edly safer to climb the ladder step
by step, as the average man is re-
quired to do.
AS we see it, about the first i'm
portant political step for a woman
is to make careful study of civic
conditions in the home community,
and then devote all of her strength
to remedying undesirable features
thereof.
There are numerous local offices
that could be filled by women as
well dS ny IIcH, dHu al ISi a 1c"
terms in such Offices their perspec-
tive would be enlarged and broad
ened and they would become better
fitted for the higher political honors
and responsibilities.
A woman can not expect to make
an artistic gown without first learn
ing to sew, and neither can she ex-
pect to make a success as a public
official without first becoming
thoroughly familiar with the impor-
tant duties Of citizenship.
Woman has made giant strides in
the past few years, and she will
make greater ones in the years yet
to come.
But it is better to begin at the
bottom and work up than to begin at
the top and not know how to work.

SMOKE THEM OUT.

Shall America have a merchant
marine worthy of the name, OR shall
we allow our thousands of valuable
ships to rot at their docks or be sold
for junk?
A great American merchant mar
inc would mean a tremendous in
crease in the prosperity Of this
country, and just now we would not
be averse to even a slight increase.
Washington has precipitated It'd
al wave Of indignation by exposin"
what is alleged to be gigantic plot
of British shipping interests to
wreck President Harding's ship SUBJ
sidy bill and thereby keep American
merchant vessels off the seas.
The British ambassador emphati-
cally denies that he or his staff are
in any way engaged in such a plot,
and he probably speaks the truth.
He would hardly court the fate of
another ambassador who meddled in
our affairs and was promptly sent
home.
But it is quite possible that there
is such plot in existence, although
official Britain may not be taking a
hand.
No one but traitor to this coun-
try would accent pay from a forei"n
nation or people for wrecking a bill
that is designed to create a mer-
chant marine that will mean future
prosperity for US.
There are many people who hon
estly oppose ship subsidy, but they
are not accepting foreign gold tc
bolster up their opposition.
But if there are traitors at work
in Washington it is time to smoke
them out and treat them as such.
