Principal Colored School ffiragliCr GEORGE E. ARCHIBALD He is Principal of the Hartwell Colored Schools, and as such has ac complished much good amongst his j people. For the past two summers ( he has taken special work at Tus kegee to better fit himself as leader of the colored boys and girls of this community. A visit to the school will repay anyone. . ■ “ (-• t e/lmong the IyOTABLES SARAH BACHE SARAH BACHE was the only daughter of Benjamin Franklin. She was born in Philadelphia, Sep tember 11, 1744. Os her early life, there is very little known; but con sidering her father’s sound sense and his appreciation of education, she must have been well trained, and must have been rather more intelligent than the average woman of her time. For in those days it wasn’t considered ladylike to know too much! The fact that she was twenty-three before she married, seems to bear this out, for then young and immature girls were rushed into matrimony. Her husband was an English merchant who lived in Philadelphia. There were eight children by the marriage. Whether Richard Bache was loyal to the States during the revolution, the biography does not state; but Sarah Bache certainly was. She or ganized relief work among wounded and destitute American soldiers, got the women together to provide food and clothes and money for them, ar ranged hospitals and visited the sick, performing actual nursing duties and dressing wounds. And all the while she kept at the women to supply warm clothes and get food to the suffering ' armies. She even made speeches and persuaded those of the Quakers who thought they had to be pacifists, even then, to undertake relief work. All this is noteworthy? chiefly because %there had never been any public work done by women and because none of them were used to organizing or car rying on public services at all. After the war she visited England with her husband, and died in Phila delphia in 1808. (© by George Matthew Adams.) o Cl ]OUR JLj Last Name IS IT BURKE? THERE Is no doubt at all but that the name Burke is derived from Bourg or Burgh, meaning stronghold and eventually city. The name was first written “de Burgh’’ or “de Burke," and so William or John de Burke were simply William or John of the strong hold. Since the days of Henry 111 and Ed ward I the Burkes were esteemed among the most powerful Anglo-Nor man settlers in Ireland, whither they went with Strongbow. The Burkes are almost always of Irish birth or extraction, but they seem proud of the fact that they are really Anglo-Norman and do not belong to the same stock as “real Irishmen.” Thomas Burke, who was colonial gov ernor of North Carolina, was born in Ireland in 1747. He was a son of Wrick Burke of Galway. Thomas studied medicine, completing his studies at the tender age of seventeen. However, this does not seem to have been remarkable for those days, and it probably reflects more on the meager ness of medical knowledge of the day than on the precocity of those who were doctors at an age most boys of today are only leaving high school. Thomas Burke, having become a phy sician, came to Accomac county, Vir ginia. There he studied law and prac ticed with Thomas Jefferson. He mar ried in 1770 May Freeman of Norfolk and two years later settled in North Carolina. He was a strong patriot and led agitation against the stamp act. He was colonial governor of North Carolina. It is said that Gov. Thomas Bnrke was a distant relative of Aedamus Burke, a judge of South • Carolina. I© by McClure Newspaper SytUUcaiM Some Reasons For Growing Alfalfa No farm crop produced in Georgia, or the United States, will lend such a healthy and progressive look to a farm as a dark green, heavy dense growth of alfalfa. It is a sure sign of good farming say specialists of the State College of Agriculture, and a very profitable and remunerative crop to grow. The main reason why the growth of alfalfa is being encouraged is be cause it will make more hay per acre than any other crop we can grow. This is an important item on farms with a limited acreage where land suitable to the production of hay is naturally at a great premium. Alfalfa hay is without an equal, fed to workstock, dairy cattle or even to brood sows. It is one of the most nutritious grazing crops available for hogs, and cows, horses and mules can be pastured on it if care is taken to keep them from bloating. Alfalfa, like clover and other le gumes maintaihs and builds up the humus and nitrogen content of the soil. In addition to this the roots of this crop will penetrate deep into the subsoil, bringing up appreciable amounts of otherwise unavailable potassium and phosphorous and leave them where they can be used by crops which are to follow. The most important constituent in foods is protein, and this goes dou ble in the matter of raising and feeding dairy stock. On an average, alfalfa will produce six times as much protein as timothy, four times as much as mixed hay and twice as much as clover. o Methodist Church Regular services morning and ev ening next Sunday. Everyone cor dially invited. We are delighted to have Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Moore, of Juiz de Fora, Brazil, in our midst at this time. Theit. presence has been a blessing to our people, and their messages in spirational to the hearers. They are the guests of Mrs. Moore’s aunt. Miss Emma Kay, our splendid Financial Church Secretary. The silver tea at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Linder Monday even ing given by the Ellen Bobo W. M. S. was indeed a most enjoyable event. A nice sum was realized by this Society for their part of the re cent improvements at the parson age. o FAMILY REUNION There will be a reunion of the families of Glenns and Mannings at Ruhamah church in Anderson coun ty, S. C., on Saturday, August 15th. Relatives living in Hart county are requested to be present. o— Brenau Club In mentioning the visitors at the Brenau Club last week we overlook ed some which we regretted very much. Miss Annie Shanklin, beau tiful and accomplished young lady of Easley, S. C., who was Miss Grace Teasley’s visitor. Miss Lourine Al ford, one of our home girls who has been at Bessie Tift College the past year. We were so glad to have her with us. Also Mrs. Lizzie Teasley was with us and is always a welcome visitor. I feel like I must also mention some of the young ladies who are members, but being away in it is only a few meetings during the i summer we have the pleasure of having them with us. At this meet ing we deemed it a privilege as well as a pleasure to have some of our junior members, among whom were Misses Grace Teasley, who it will be remembered won the Brenau scholar ship last year, Miss Eloise Temples, i who won it this year, Miss Louise j Jones, and Miss Mary Linder. These I young ladies added much to the in terest and pleasure of our meeting. We only wish their vacations were longer. o ♦ »«**»»»»* DUNCAN Rain is needed very much in this | section, as things are about to dry i up.

Kill The Mosquitoes The mosquito nuisance can be easily abated by taking the proper precautions. Remove all tin cans, bottles, broken vessels, or anything that contains water and they will not have a breeding place left. This j is what everybody should do right i now in order that the pests will be I destroyed. The following rules have I been adopted at Memphis, Tenn., 1 and should be observed in every i town and village and country home as the mosquito often causes illness which can easily be prevented. Leave nothing in your yard that can catch and hold rain water. Inspect your yard once each week to see that no exposed water con tainers are present. If for any reason you must have water on your premises, exposed to mosquitoes, then treat its surface once a week with a small quantity of kerosene or oil, or keep several minnows alive in the water. -* Get your neighbors to control mosquito breeding in their bacK yards. Learn how to find mosquito breed ing places, how not to miss seeing them and send to your State Board of Health for fr,ee literature on mos quito control. o THE LANKFORD REUNION On Tuesday, August 4th, a reunion was he’d for the Lankford family at the old Lankford home.

Twitty, state commissioner on game and fish. This point was stressed on ac count of the fact that many Geor gia hunters are under the impres sion that they may legally kill doves after August 1, the commis sioner said. Prior to last year the Georgia law made the open dove season begin on August 1, but the legislature amend ed the law in 1924 to make the state law comply with the federal law. o Small Blaze Last Saturday Fire in the ceiling of the Hartwell Pressing Club building caused heavy damage to the interior of this struc ture Saturday afternoon.
