Mrs. Thomas Rainsford Hos I tess for U. D. C. The U. D. C's February meeting was held on St. Valentine's afternoon at the spacious colonial home of Mrs. Thomas Rainsford in Buncombe. Souvenir hearts were pinned on each guest upon her arrival. The president, Mrs. Jeff Wright, presided over the business session, after which, Mrs. Helen Nicholson conducted an interesting historical program. Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Sr., read an ori ginal article which dealt with General Lee's parentage and early environs. Mrs. Nicholson had secured a clip ping from an old Advertiser of 1861, preserved in an old scrap bookr in which an account of General Stone wall Jackson's death was graphically given. The historical work of the chapter is proving very interesting this; win ter, and the Daughters are entering enthusiastically into the plan to gath er all the reminiscences possible. At the^iext meeting, each Dapghter is L to bring everything possible in, and also any contribution for the museum at Richmond. There are already a number -of interesting relics in view to be sent, one a Minie ball, which Mrs. Blalock exhibited, was one that injured a relative of hers in the fight ing around Atlanta. The Daughters are going to pur chase a copy of "Women of the South' in the Confederacy" which will be an invaluable reference book. After the interesting meeting, a delightful social hour was enjoyed, during which a tempting salad course, carrying out the Valentine ideas, was served. The Cultivation of Beans. v A few suggestions may be given about the cultivation of early string beans or snaps. It is very important to grow them early as possible and where a number of farmers are plant ing with the idea of marketing at the same time to afford shipping in car lots, it is important that they be planted as near the same time as pos sible. In growing a large quantity one can not afford to take the risk of having the frost kill them. It is therefore best to wait as late as it is thought safe to plant. I think they may be planted in the Edgefield sec tion as soon after the first of April as possible. Get the land in thorough order. The land should be harrowed and put in fine shape, thoroughly pulverized so A hat no clods are to be found. Rows should be laid off SO inches apart, very shallow, not over two inches deep. At least 1,000 pounds of high grade guano should be put in the drill and ro'.xed with the dirt. The beans should be planted about 1 1-2 inches in the drill and covered abcut one inch. "Plant and cultivate them on a level. They can be planted with a corn planter but be sure to get them thick enough. Most seed catalogs ad vise planting three inches apart but that is too thin. It is also a great mis take to plant them on a ridge. Be careful that you dp not cover them too deep. G. W. M. TAYLOR. Conference of the Edgefield Association.

Resolutions Passed at W. C. T. U. Meeting. Whereas, The illicit sale and drink ing if intoxicants is evidenced by the number of cases of drunkenness ob served in and around our town of both men and boys and, whereas, Several of our merchants, contrary to the law are selling other things than drugs, medicines, undertakers' supplies and ice on the Sabbath day, therefore be it ^solved That we, the members of the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union appeal to the Mayor and Sheriff to enforce the laws.

Eleven years ago today, dear Clar ence, lt pains my heart to say, The one I 'oved dearly, From earth was called away. Mother's heart is breaking, son, By inches, day by day When I sit in sadness, thinking Of how my precious boy was taken away. "Tis sweet to know we will meet again When parting is no more; And that the one we loved Has only gone before. But God above can comfort us, The heart that mourns thee here; And ordy consolation is To try to meet you thei-e. Days of sadness still come over us; Tears of sorrow silently flow, Fond memory keeps our dear one near us, Though Heaven claimed him eleven years ago. DEVOTED MOTHER.

B. I*Y, Jr., Triton, S. C. 2-8-2t. Partly True Though Told in Fun. True, though sad to relate, We are not so very far from a sav age state; We claim to be refined and up to date, But there still clings to us some sav age trait. The men in manner oft-time show it, By their selfishness we all know it; For right or wrong, they just go it; Sick or well they take your row and .hoe it. * And like a pack of wolves, when a fellow gives out, When he no longer can continue his route J They all begin to crowd round about, And trample him to death with a big shout. ? The women too, still have a taint And some confine it to powder and paint And things to make them what they aint, With back-to-nature stunts with lit tle restraint. . . And feathers and beads in their head gear, Will always be in evidence I fear; To remind us that just here Traits of the savage still appear. This information also savage history supplies, They wore horn rings in their noses to make them look wise, And modern fashion for men and women to our surprise, Has decreed horn rings for the byes. This takes us back to the hoot-owl stage, Where owl eyes were the earmarks of the sage, And now, no matter what your age, You must look wise like an owl to get a look in on the page. Why magnify old age, eye weakness and defect And try to keep false teeth such a secret, "by heck?" Let's have an outside band that clasps around our neck, To make our mouths look like they would hold at least a peck. This would make us look rich al though we were poor, For it would appear to take a lot of feed for such a door, And it would magnify our conversa tion more, And in keeping with horn-rimmed glasses J am sure.
