FISTULOUS WITHERS On the witbersof horses often times occurs an enlargement where pus forms. It might be called a multiple abscess, because of the numerous pockets of pus, but it goes by the name of Fis tulous Withers. It is always to be regarded as a serious condi tion. Injury to the parts or bruises is thought to be the cause. Horses bruise the withers in the stable and elsewhere, infection gains entrance and in a few weeKB mere is a noticeable swelling in the region, hot and painful. This condition may be operat ed on and recovery will take place in three weeks to six months, depending on how much of parts are involved. The sooner the operation is perform ed, less cutting is required and recovery will take place in shorter length of time. ' Drugs are of no avail in Fistulous With ers. Surgery can be depended on to effect a cure. Notice To Parents Conway, November 1st., Editor Times: 1 want to state through your paper that as all the schools in this'county will be open Nov. 1,' I will expect every child between the age of 8 and 14 to be in school. I will be bound by my oath and by law to get every child in school except those ex cused by law which will be those 5Ver 2J miles from school and in case of sickness or severe weath er, borne schools now nave nearly all under the compulsory law in school. Some have been kept away on account of the scarcity of labor to save the crops, but that is no longer an excuse as it seems that the favorable weather has enabled the' farmers to harvest their crops so that the child can be put in school without keeping it out farther. C. W. Martin, Public Welfare Officer. Let Us Take Time 1.' To give God worship, ser vice, communion. 2. To live with our friends while we have them. A coffin is a poor place for the warm hand clasp and the cheery greeting. ' 3. To read the beat thought Some of it cannot be found in some ot the papers to which we subscribe. 4, To forgive our enemies. Jesus found time to do it between the blows of the hammer. . 5. To enjoy the world of nat urev No one ever contemplated murder while filling his soul with the perfume of a garden, the singing of birds, or the enjoy ment of opening spring life. 6. To think. And think right. Meditation is a lost art with some; others never had any to lOBB. 7. To go slower up hill when we are young, and down hill when we are old. ' 8. To be as courteous to our own' folks ill we are to those we don't know. . ', '. . , .9. To grow spiritually. Jesus began when a boy. Some of us are so proud physically and men tally that we have never met our pwn spirits. They are so small we couldn't aee them if we did meet them. ,10. To give bar hearts to God today: There Ii no inch thing aa "tomorrow. "Chriitian Her ft PEANUT GROWERS ORGANIZING Campaign On To Complete Tne Or ganization Of Peanut Exchange- 3000 Have Signed. The full backing of the Exten sion forces and the Department of Agriculture for both Virginia and North Carolina are to be given to the peanut growers in the perfection of their organiza tion. In order to make the larg est possible use of these agricul tural workers, the Organization Committee of the Exchange haB arranged to conduct two whirl wind campaigns in these two states so as to complete the or ganization of their Exchange bv January 1st. - The campaign in Virginia be gins this week and will be push ed vigorously by the representa tives of the Exchange in Nanse mond county. At the same time the growers in Southampton county will conduct their own comp&ign, and they are going about the job with the determi dation of adding many signers to the 800 who have already signed the grower's contract in this largest peanut-producirg county of the two states. Satur day. November 6, the campaign in, Isle of Wight county will open and be pushed for three days in a vigorous drive. Then will fol low the campaigns in th other counties in quick succession. It is planned to complete . the canvass of the Virginia. couotita ' on November and -to tegin the canvass in North Carolina on November 20. So far 3.000 growers have signed the coc tract, though none of the coun ties south of the Roanoke Rivtr -have ye( been canvassed. It is figured that on the basils" of the present average of 250 bags to the grower, 5,000 signers wi l give the required minimum of signers to insure 50 per cent of the crop in these two states. The announcement that tie leading agricultural workera of Virginia and North Carolina are getting behind this movement has greatly enthused the grow ers in the determination to put their organization through by January 1. The occasion of these agricultural leaders entering in to such full co-operation with the peanut growers in their or ganization work is because they realize that it is necessary to put across one organization on the commodity basis in this section before any other group of grow ers can be organized on this plan. Both the tobacco and cot ton growers of .hese two states and the growers of other com modities in the East are watch ing with intense interest this effort on the part of the peanut growers to organize on the plan ; that has brought so much . pros perity to the far) West within ; the past two years.. Their suc cess, which now seems so hope-' ful, would give a great booBt to all farm organization work east ' of the Mississippi.
