and inured his full radiance far over
bill and held, while a aweet .lauior
was otrtYii;iui everywhere. A
neighbor who bad made an early visit
to town, approached the workers, and
iiho.il any parlance, in excited
tonts. he exclaimed: "The Xorth and
Siiuih Carolina boys are in the thick
if the fijiht today. I've been to low,
and that's the news that came over
the wires."
The picking ceas.nl; a g nier.il mur
uur. or moan, was heard. These
noble, latriotic farmers hud sent their
Muidy sous off to fight the Hun. but
when this shock came, it was like a
t-'oi.e from sling in the hands of
Israel's prince. Everything appear
ed to slop even the sun that had
been contributing so much to their
cheerfulness at once seemed to with
hold lis warmth: a chill spread o'er
the scene, while the red orb of day
apparently stood as still to (hem as it
did at the time the command went
forth. "Stand thou still upon Gideon."
Veritably there was a broken cog In
the globe's machinery, and the whole
fabric of nature seemed rent. Nat
urally their sympathy went back to
that day when the old king wished
for the tidings and would have died
for his son, and in his anguish asked.
"Is the young man Absalom sale?"
Stunned! stunned! the battle! the
bat'le! the boys! the boys!
When the batteries of the Thirtieth
opened their roar that morn, the din
of it seemed to come to their ears
from three thousand miles away.
Tlu-y then assumed a standing pos
tal"; they adjusted the sacks that en
citvled their waist and were full of
the snowy II-m-cc. There was a lifting
of ;lu ;r iliins; a tremor of the facial
nerve';; their eves pave out a lishl
that wts new and tare, the breath
fio.n their nostrils was like that of
t tie warhcrse liihuliu? lite battle, from
afar. At stir!; a time as this, these
f;tr..n in had been taiislit to full hack
on David's plan and call ou iikhoi
belli. They ki'w that li is plan was
old, but pood, and true, and tried.
Sum how, each cm turned voluntari
ly to the woman, their kiusmun. Willi
her heart almost frozen wl.hui her at
the terrible new for ;-!it" felt tliat
these boj were, tho (lower of IVrA
i.i's chivalry, she turned with n sol),
and liMnr her eves low aid h;avcn,
villi her risiht ar. i exleinl.'d In the.
iiir.etion (f South CaCna .Mid the
left folded over her breast, she sn.J;
"Gracious Father take care of out
North end Son t ii Carolina boys today;
lv foive divine turn the missiles on
Ih'ir course, and don't let them be
killed. Keep close to them, dear
Jesue. and cover them with the sund
ew of thy wins."
The prayer was phort and simple,
but enough. Ve-rhaps it vas a bit
selfish, too, for Tennessee was In this
division encaged, but she only had
two nrniB, you know, and one was
around South Catolna, and the other
pressed to her heart, her own native
slate.
The weeks and months sped on;
the casually lists came every morn,

But now, spring is coming back

son, u spring and summer prove as
true to name as has the winter, we
should have a good crop season in
1920.
Fertilizer dealers are doing a rush
business these days.- and if England
succeeds in "making India" raise her
cotton in sufficient quantity to ena
ble her to boyrot the South'! staple,
somebody will wonder "how come so
much whereforness" next fall.
We were asked a few days ago by
a Monroe business man. 'How' many
garages there are in Waxhaw, now."
We told hint tltree, and asked
him it that was too many. No. sir, he
said. Why Monroe has fourteen, and
every one of them pets all the work
it can do, and is making money ga
lore. He thinks the South if. auto
mobile crazy, and v ill. some of these
days, discover that it has overdone
the thing; savs the Nor'h Is making
all the machines and furnishing all
the high priced putts, and will event

Mr. Weaver's Plan Is Simple.
I bought a paikai-c of Dr. Le
Goar'a Stock Powders from my local
dealer and after feeding it to my Jer
sey Cow, she Increiised from 6 quarts
to 12 quarts of milk per day. and af
ter continuing the Powders for 30
davs longer, she Increased In butter
fat from 5 to 10 pounds per week,
and at the end of 5 months, she was
making 12 pounds of butter fat per
week." L. B. Weaver, Grand Rap

Mr. Weaver followed the advice of
Dr. LeGenr. and Is money ahead. You
can get the same results. Get Dr. Le
tt ear's Stock Powders from your deal
er; feed it to your horses, milk cows,
steers, hogs and sheep as directed.

well Known farm electric plant.
Some of the more striking features, 1
says Mr. lieluertnaii, were: First, the,

ing when talks were made by 11. H. '
Grant, general manager, and other of-;
Bcerj of lbs compaiiy. These talks,'
he stated, bad to do largely with the
geiieral proposition of the spread aud ,
development of eleciriral equipment :
for the rural communities and many;
valuable new electrical product werei
announced. I
On Thursday afternoon, the whole:
convention body of some 1500 mem-;
bcrs were taken on a trip through the
great Delco Light factory, largest of j
its kind in the world and covering'
more than a million square feet ot j
floor space. On Thursday night the:
feature was a comedy with music,!
produced exclusively for the Delco
Light organization.
Friday's program dealt with inti
mate service and financial problems
and included, also, a striking parade
of factory employees, representing
each department. The keenest in
terest and enthusiasm were display
ed on every hand, declares Mr. Hel
derman, clear up to the culminating
feature, the annual banquet for the
entire convention body, on Saturday
nikht. Prominent speakers delivered
stirring talks, and at the conclusion,
mm ion pictures were shown of many
of the important features of the
thrre-dav convention.

opinion elect Hrlty s one of the most
important forces offered the farmer

The Cotton Farmer's Cow
The farmer w ho grows so much cotton that he has no room
for a cow is neglecting a chance to make some easy money.
If he w ould follow the advice of the American Cotton As
sociation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use.
carefully selected "seed and fertilize highly
He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre,
thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, but reduc
ing the net cost per pound ;
He would have left acreage on his farm to keep cows, to
raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give him enough extra
cash so that he could store his cotton in the system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Associa
tion and get for it a fair and equitable price.
This Bank, first, last and all the time, is for the American
Cotton Association's program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops and more money for all!
THE BANK OF UNION
On Tuesday President Wilson with
drew the government conirol of the
price of bituminous coal. As a re

will pay. The coal commis

HOUSEHOLD CONVENIENCES.
Vl'o f'jl'ful worker In tiny business
lihvays keeps up-to-date tools, fur he
knows he will thus In
crease liix etlieieticy. The
ell'ielent housewife also
tnows that time, strength
nnd tell, per ure lost by
using old, worn-out and
cumbers ime utensils.
Why use dull paring and
curving knives when a
small sharpener can be,
bought which will keep nil cutting
tools lo good order? If there Is liny
one thing which will cause one to use
strong language It is a dull carving
knife.
A tray to remove food and dishes
from the dining table or to carry It to
the table Is a great saving of steps.
If one cannot afford to buy a wheeled
tray or tea wagon get the bandy man
to make you one, using the small
wheels from an old gin-art. A wire
dish drainer Is light nnd can be used
as a tray if no other Is at hand, for It
la easy to carry.
Pner or wooden trays or plates
make fine dishes to use In the Ice bint,
for they do not break and may be re
newed often at little expense.
Paiior of all kinds saves dish wash
ing. Wipe out the- greasy dishes with
a piece of soft ptiper before putting
them Into the dish water. Keep the
table wiped up with paper, snvlng the
dishcloth for stains and greflse.
A kitchen table covered with fine or
some hard surface that does not need
semiring to keep clean Is a most neces
sary kitchen convenience. Some good
scales, a pood clock, n kitchen cabinet
with everything at hand to use in
cookery, are all necessary equipment.
Keep a bottle of kerosene near the
sink, nnd when It Is dry wipe out with
a cloth dampened with kerosene: It
will keep clean wllnit scouring. Re
peated scouring with various cleaning
powders will ruin the surface, so that
It becomes rough and stains easily.
