"The German anti-air craft guns re

"A striking feature of our line is that
it consists really of a series of trenches

some more advanced than others and
many facing in different directions.
"Though both side* have moved for

others, no very important change ha*
been effected. The situation of the

BARNWELL
Barnwell, S. C. Tn a letter to the
Hon. K. J. Watson, commissioner of
agriculture. Hoi. Harry D. Calhoun,
president of Home Bank, suggests that
letters he written to farmers In the
West, asking if they will sell oat and
wheat seed, payable next July and se
cured by warehouse receipts for cotton
on a basis of S3O per bale, <fr If the cot
ton Is sold earlier the amount due is to
be paid at tho time of the sale.
Col. Calhoun points out tha9 it will be
impossible for the South to plant as
great an acreage in cotton next year as
in 1014, regardless of any action that the
legislature may or may not take, leav
ing thousands of hc-cs of land to bo
planted in other crops. Inasmuch ms
the countries now involved in wav are
said to raise f>7 per cent of the oats
and wheat of the world, there will he
considerable demand for these products
next year. The oat crop In this section
would be hat vested about thirty days
earlier titan that grown in the West.

"Moreover, this same woman naked
me if 1 had any objections to her run

It had such a soothing effect upon Mr.
Lee.
"Indeed, the interest she took in my
husband was so ridiculous that at a
party we presented her with a minia
ture telephone, with his number at
tached to It, while to him we gave a
little figure of a "duck." This interest
extended so far that she persuaded
him to purchase overshoes and on one
rainy day phoned three times to the
