ATLANTA---A sweet little lady
won blue ribbon for a silk
quilt few months ago and thus
indirectly began a club movement
for women three score and DER" :"
Such a club had long been a
dream of Mrs. William Guy
Smith, president of the Fifth
District, Georgia Federation of
Women's Clubs, but it took the
blue ribbon to push the dream to
reality.
Last fall she suggested that a
neighbor, Mrs. W. L. Lyon, a
spry SO, enter some of her needle
work in a contest at the South
eastern Fair in Atlanta.
Mrs. Lyon protested that her
work wasn't nearly good enough
but Mrs. Smith finally persuaded
her to enter. Mrs. Lyon sailed
through the first judging, winning
first prize for her lovely quilt
and, eventually the blue ribbon
grand prize for the entire contest.
To Mrs. Lyon, who had some
times felt, well, little left out
of life, it was wonderful. Her
son said she quickly used up the
prize money calling all her out
of town relative to tell them the
news.
Seeing what a bit of recognition
could do and knowing there are
thousands of older women who
felt left too much to their knit
ting, Mrs Smith decided to take
time in her busy life to found
club for women past so.
She knew there are clubs for
such age groups elsewhere but
hoped the one in Atlanta would
be different in that from it would

Federation of Women's Clubs.
Volumes have been written in
recent years about the aged, a
steadily growing group. There
have been efforts to meet their
special problems but most social
workers agree the efforts have

been pitifully inadequate.
Mrs. Smith felt that what little
has been accomplished stemmed
from individuals who decided to
help in their own small way.
So she called some older women
she knew and helped them found
the three score and DER" club.
Twenty charter members attended
the first meeting. None was under
70 and nearly half were in their
eighties. Some were driven to the
meeting at the home of one MEM
Der by their children, who were
glad their mothers were finding
new interests.
Others, like Mrs. S. r. Dull, 80,
author of Southern Cooking" a
book widely used by housewives
for years, came on busses.
Mrs. j. c. Mellichamp, also 88,
was elected president and prompt

motto, Mot add years to our
lives but life to our years"
The club has held the first two
of its monthly meetings now and
the list of those interested in
joining has grown SO fast other
local clubs may be formed. The
women plan to take turns discus
sing hobbies and are considering
presentation of some sort of
'playlet."
Some of the women are wealthy,
others are not. Some suffer from
such complaints as arthritis,
others are as active as their
grandchildren.
The women soon will Rave to

TWENTY YEARS MAKES
LOT OF DIFFERENCE

Twenty years can make a lot of
difference-especially on the farm.
Robert Hyman, Negro farmer
of Route 1, Hobgood, found this
out when he returned to his home
place in January, 1851, after hav-
ing lived in New York for 20 years.
Hyman, who came back to help
his mother farm, remembered well
how he had done things before
leaving home, and he set out to
do them in the same old way.
But one year was enough to
convince him that conditions had
changed and that if he wanted to
make a success on the farm, as
in any other occupation, he must
keep up with the times.
r. Nick. Edwards, Martin Coun-
ty Negro farm agent for the State
College Extension Service, says
Lyman has made plans to drain a
portion of the farm and to have
soil samples taken to obtain lime
and fertilizer recommendations.
For 1852 he plans to follow rec
ommehded practices as to fertiliz-
er applications and improved va
rieties of tobacco and corn.

severely injured or killed outright
by their fall. These two were the
captain and the steward. The lat
ter caught the shot-line as it came
near him, and both men began
hauling it off in order to get the
whip or larger line which would
follow, and before they could
gather much of it in the shot
line fouled the wreckage, and in
the effort to free it it was broken
or cut in two.
A second line was quickly fired
from the shore as successfully as
the first, but the current settling
along the beach was so swift and
strong, and there were so many
other difficulties to contend with
the principal of which was the
inability of the two men to haul
off the line through the wreckage,
that Notwithstanding the most
persistent effort it was nearly A
o'clock in the afternoon before the
poor fellows on the wreck, weak
ened and exhausted by exposure,
could complete the rigging of the
apparatus to the stump of the
mast few feet above the deck.
When this was at last done the
two men turned their attention to
the mate, the only other member
of the crew remaining alive and
made strenuous exertions to place
him in the buoy first. But, injured
as he was and suffering also from
exposure, he had become delirious
and resisted the efforts for his
removal to the shore. The captain
and steward were unable to man.
age him either by persuasion or
force, and as night was nearly
upon them, they reluctantly
abandoned him to his fate and re-
solved to look out for themselves.
The captain therefore got into the
breeehes-buoy and was drawn
safely to the beach, the steward
following him just as darkness
closed upon the scene. AS soon as
the steward was landed the buoy
was again sent off, it being hoped
that the mate might possibly re-
gain his reason sufficiently to
realize his situation, crawl into
the buoy, and thus be saved. But
he was doubtless too far gone and
made his signal. The two rescued
men, thoroughly used up, were
conducted to the Pea Island Sta
ton as quickly as possible and
properly cared for. AS the ire

EARLY FERTILIZER
ORDERING Is URGED

Tar Heel farmers were urged
this week by the State Agricul-
tural Mobilization Committee to
order their 1862 fertilizer supplies
as early as possible.
The committee, composed of
representatives from all agricul-
tural agencies with State PIMA
Director G. T. Scott as chairman,
said that if the states farmers are
to meet their increased production
goals for 1852, they will need to
use more fertilizer than ever be-
fore. But, it added, other areas of
the country are increasing their
fertilizer usage so rapidly that ad-
equate supplies may not be avail
able in North Carolina when need
ed unless orders are placed well il
advance.
The Corn Belt and Lake states,
it was pointed out, are now using
about the same amount of ferti-
lizer as the Southeast. Supplies
already are moving into the Corn
Belt for 1862 crops, with farmers
paying premium prices to obtain
their needs early. In North Caro-
lima very little movement of fer
tilizer from plant to farm is now
taking place.
The committee also asserted
that ''if in the future it should
become necessary for fertilizer to
be placed under ALLEGATION accord
ing to historical bases North
Carolina farmers would be adver-
sely affected by their failure tt
take fertilizer during the early
months of 1882"
Screen" fertilizer, fresh from
the plant, is difficult to apply with
modern machinery, whereas ferti.
lizer that is bought and stored be.
comes well-cured and is easy &C
apply, with no loss in quality.
"The prospect of good prices fol
farm products during the coming
year makes it more important thar
ever that farmers use increased
rates of fertilizer on most crops,
the committee pointed out. It ado
ed that research has shown that
providing increased amounts Of
plant food is one of the most eco.
nomical ways to increase produc
tiOn."

All MEMBERS HELPING
TO KEEP STATE GREEN

North Carolina All Club MEM
bers are doing their part to help
keep the Tar Heel State green.
So far this year All boys and
girls have planted quarter of a
million loblolly pine seedlings
furnished them by the North Caro-
lima Pulp Company. In all, 1877
members in 81 counties have or
dered $50, 450 seedlings.
Other Alters who would like
to plant loblolly seedlings this
season should get their orders in
right away, says John E. Ford,
assistant forester for the State
College Extension Service. The
seedlings are offered free to both
white and Negro club members in
Caswell, Guilford, Davidson, Ro-
wan, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Gas
ton, and all counties east of this
line.
Ford says any 4-H'er in this
area who has suitable place to
plant them may obtain up 20 5000
seedlings by getting an applica-
ton from his local county agent.
Through this Offer" says the
specialist, "boys and girls have an
opportunity to plant the fastest
growing pine in the East. After
this pine has been planted couple
of years it really begins to grow,
and it is not unusual for it to
grow from one to three feet taller
each year. In fact it will grow up
before some of the Alters who
plant it will. On good soils this
tree, once it starts growing up,
should be able to grow about 500
board feet of lumber on an acre
each year."
Best time to set out loblolly
pines, according to Ford, is in
January, February, and March. If
planted six feet apart in rows
spaced seven feet from each other,
1000 seedlings will be required to
plant an acre. One person can
plant as many as 500 per day.

mendous surf on the rising tide
had gradually pushed the schooner
further onto the shore, the crews
of the two stations, after attend
ing to the rescued men, returned
to the beach and waited for an
opportunity to board the wreck,
hoping from what the captain had
told them to be able yet to save
the mate.
The opportunity to save the yes
sci came with the ebb of the tide,
which about midnight left her in
such a position that the men We're
enabled to wade out to her. Quick
ly climbing on board they found
two bodies, one of the mates, and
the other that of seaman, the
rest having been washed away.
Both bodies appeared to be dead,
but as the mates was still supple,
though cold, it was landed without
delay and carried to a house on
the beach, where, with restoratives
from the medicine chest, all pos
sible means were resorted to for
its resuscitation. These efforts
were kept up for two hours, until
the stiffening muscles gave indub-
liable proof that life was beyond
recall. Thus five Of the little band
of seven men composing the
schooner's crew, who but a few
hours before were in the full
flower and promise of manhood,
became the victims of the storm.
In the subjoin e. letter the
master of the Inflated craft fully
exonerates the men of the Service
from blame. There can be no
question, judging from the prompt
ness with which the line was
thrown to the schooner, that if
the masts had not fallen so soon
after she struck not a life would
have been lost, the delay in ar
ranging the gear being due to the
fact that the captain and the
steward were the only persons who
escaped serious injury, the only
ones from first to last that were
able to afford the necessary aid
from the vessel in getting the ap-
paratus in place. The others were
either instantly killed or so badly
injured that they lay Helpless upon
the deck until life was literally
beaten out of them by contact with
the lumber and wreckage, which
was kept in constant motion by
the immense seas tumbling in
over the rail the livelong day. Had
the masts stood even for one hour
every man could have been saved.
Under the circumstances it seems
miraculous that anyone escaped.
The two bodies recovered from the
wreck were provided with decent
burial near the life-saving station.
The rescued men remained at the
station for a week, until able to
travel to their homes, and during
this period the crews of the two
stations were engaged whenever
opportunity offered-for as shown
