Orphan, Work Day
September 26th
Our people haye become fam
ihar with the meaning of thE
words Orphan Work Day. They
mean simply this, that there arE
in our orphan institutions a
great number of fatherless chil
dren, dependent upon the loving
care of the Christian people it
this state. As the only mean.
of their support is from thi
voluntary gifts of generous men
women and vouth, it may veri
well happen and it does happen
that the supplies for the suppor
of these thousands of orphans
run short at the end of the sum
mer, and immediate relief i!
needed. And hence the inven
tive mind of a zealous Georgic
Methodist preacher made thi
suggestion that on the last Sat
urday of September, which i
the 26th day of this month, ou
people proceed diligently to worl
as usual and that they divide th<
e proceeds of that day's work o
their regular income for tha
day, to the support of such
e one of our orphan institution
as appeals to them. -
, There are in South Carolina
the Thornwell Orphanage a
Clinton, the Connie Maxwel
, Orphanage at Greenwood, th
Epworth Orphanage at Colum
a bia, each with about; 300 pupil
in charge, (and every one o
them in need of prompt assist
I ance); then there is the Churcl
f Home at Yorkville*with abou
100 pupils in all more than ,
thousand children. The churche
and Sabbath Schools of th
various denominations shouli
e vie with each Other in seeinj
e who will do the best for thei
orphans. Gifts from individual
can be sent at once or later; th
gifts from Churches and Sun
day Schools immediately afte
the 27th day of September whe1
e the collections will be taken u:
Send to the institution of you
choice.
e Revisitmg the Old Home Tow
- The New York Press tells o
the following dialogue:
"Where's Jack Wilkins, whi
y used to be the strongest boy i1
o the school?"
e "He's running the trimminj
t department in his wife's millin
s ery store."
"What became of Hanoi
Harte, who was going to be a'
s opera singer?"
."He's night watchnian at th
Sdeaf mute home over in Pebble
i"And where's Millie Stingei
who was the prettiest girl in th
village?"
"Her oldest boy tells me tha
t she weighs 250 pounds now."
2 "And Henry Robinson, wh
s used to be the stupidest boy i:
e school?"
r "You'll find nim over at th
t barrel factoty. He's putting i:
sa modern efficiency system fo
them."
"I suppose poor Willie Peter
0 man, the village idiot boy, die
e long ago?"
i "No, indeed! Doc Simpso:
Sremoved what there was of Wil
- lie's brain and now he's th
Stango professor atWhiffie Beaci
e and coining money."
The Country Editor
e The duties of a country edito
- are numerous and varied. Pec
e ple who sometimes complaii
f that their little home weekl:
t does not contain as much new
t as the more pretentious dailie
- published in the cities overlool
the fact that dozens, and 11
a many cases, scores of men con
tribute to the production of th
larger papers, while all the worn
3 on a weekly is sometimes don
a by a single individual. J us
t how numerous and yaried-ar:
'the tasks of the latter is disclos
y ed by a paragraph in the lates
t issue of the Glenwood (Mo.
Journal. In explaining that h<
had changed the size and forn
3 of his paper so as to save timi
t in makeup, printing and hand
ling, the editor of the Journa
.says:
"For one pE rson to gather th
l news. set the type, makeup th
,forms. print the paper, disti
i hute the type, do the job work~
. collect the bills pay the. debts
a listen to kicker's. sweep the of

a build the fines, and do a thous
i and .and one things in tha
course of a week is no littli
matter, hence we have change<
the paper to a size that we cai
t issue to better advantage."
In the face of this explanatioi
anyone objecting to the changi
should be bored for the simple
and then taken out and shot a
sunrise.

and every farmer will sow five acres of oats to the plow,
adthree aci-es of wheat to the plow, on ground. that is
wel prepared and well fertilized, he will make enough
1 wheat and-oats to do-him.
aThe corn crop is likely to be short in this section, as
the seasons ~ have not been favorable for making corn.
If the- war in Europe continues for a long-time, there will
-be a tremendous amount of corn and wheat and oats ex
Iported to Europe, and this will make corn, wheat and
oats high. - .
- September is a good d .ne to sow oats. -Prepare .the
aground carefully and- thoroughly before you get to pick
m ig cotton' arid fertilize it with about 300 pounds to the
acre of say, 10-1-3 or 10.14, your oats will get well root.
ed before the cold weather comes on and it sown in the
adrill it is about as sure a crop as you can plant. These
aoats will come in early next spring and will help out a
Sshort corn crop.
Now and then you hear of a farmer sowing oats in
August, and we believe the August sowing always makes
a good crop.
September is a capital time to sow oats and we believe
it will pay you mighty well to sow some this fall.
It always pays to prepare your land well, and to fer
tilize it well.
