The Beech Island Farmers’ club has taken the first step in a movement that will In all probability involve all other clubs in the Savannah Valley association, and may assume even larger proportions as it advances. At its last meeting the dub passed resolutions which strongly urge that in view of the high price of wlteat, as a result of recent speculation, every member of the organization plant not less than two acres of wheat this season, in order to insure ad ample supply of home-grown flour. The price of wheat is higher n<sw than it has been in several years, and may go even higher. Flour, a natural consequence, has advanced accord ingly, and its price has become alSiast prohibitive. The Beeeh Island club members take the position that of all men the farmer can least afford to pay a fabu lous price for flour, and to Insure Its members against this necessity, as well as to interest all other clubs in the plan, the resolutions were passed. A copy Is in the hands of Dr. J. E. Green, president of the association, who will forward duplicates to all other clubs in the circuit, and the matter wil be laid before them all at the next meetings. GRACEWODD SCHOOL TO BE IMPROVED The school year just completed has been a fine one at the Gracewood school. The enrollment has increased to 100 pupils. The work done by the school has been exceptionally fine. Mr. C. S. Bryan is in charge of he school, and he is receiving many com pliments on the fine showing made by the school. During the summer two rooms will be added to the school, as it is not large enough to hold the pupils. About forty-five pupils are brought to the school every morning in wag ons. m this way every part‘of the district is covered and the chlMt-en who live several miles from the school have an opportunity to come. Miss Gertrude Burchardt and Miss Maude Hack, are the assistants of Mr. Bryan. DR. PLUNKET WILL ADDRESS THE COLORED PEOPLE OnJiundsy, June 24th at the Ifaber nacleTJaptist church, Rev. J. T. Plun ket, D.D., will deliver an address to the colored people of the city. The lecture will be at 4:30 o’clock. The colored people are looking for ward with great pleasure to the talk of Dr. Pluukct and they feel highN honored that on the eve of his depart- j ure from the city, he consented to ; address them. An elaborate program will be arranged for the occasion, and it is expected that a very large num ber will be present to hear him. POLICE IH CRIME OR BOPyEULERS Several Have Been Arrest ed in Past Few Days. The police are determined to break up the selling of cocaine in the city. The city court officials are ably aid ing them, by imposing the limit on every man who is convicted or who pleads guilty. The police have been on the constant watchout for the sell ers for some time, and here of late their efforts have met with good re sults, no doubt from the fact that selling is becoming so common that it is not as hard to catch the defend ants as it has been heretofore. Bailiff Sturges, of the city court, is assisting the officers in their efforts, and Saturday night, with two of the police, he caught two sellers. They were bound over v to the’ city court Monday. One of the officers expresses himself as follows on catching them: ’’The sellers are the cleverest negroes that can be found. They go about the selling in a very quiet way, and some of them can almost sell it before your eyes, and then you will not knorv what he is doing.” Four were sent up Monday, and Ed Gorman, a negro, was bound over to the city court Tuesday for the same offense. Officers Horne and Odom gave a negro boy 25 cents Monday to buy some dope from Gorman. Gor man was only charging 5 cents for a package, and he did not have any change, so he had the boy to go to a store and buy him a sack of tobac co in payment for the dope. The sack of tobacco was found on Gor man, and the store keeper had the quarter. Gorman claimed that the boy had some dope and he gave it to the officers, saying that he (Gorman) had sold it to him. Judge Picquet did not take any stock in his story and bound him over. The usual bond for persons bound over to the city court is 8250, but Judge Picquet is putting the sellers under a SI,OOO bor*i, so they cannot get out and sell more before they are tried. NORTH AUGUSTA WATER ANALYZED Dr. W. C. Lyle, City Chem ist and Bacteriologist, Making Tests of the Neighboring City’s Sup ply. Dr. W. C. Lyle, city chemist and bacteriologist of t.he Augusta Board of Health, is making a chemical and bacteriological examination of a spec imen of the North Augusta water supply. The State Board of Health of South Carolina requires that every three months every municipality using wat er from a common supply have the same tested. Formerly this was done by a chemist in Charleston, but the North Augustans came nearer home this time. Dr. Lyle analyzes Augusta water once a month. Its standard is always high. He has not finished the exam ination of .North Augusta water as yet •rilie time required being two days. Water is examined for bacteria and its organic constituents are determ ined by chemical analysis. The most dangerous bacteria ever found In wat er are those causing typhoid fever and stomach troubles. The presence of certain organisms is favorable to the growth of bacteria. GRADUATING RECITAL ST. ANGELA’S ACADEMY Miss Lina Dobey and Miss Jessie Gardner Charm Large Audience. Special to The Herald. AIKEN, S. C.—Miss Lina Dobey and Miss Jessie Gardner at St An gels f- academy Monday evening were heard by a most appreciative audi ence. Every number was listened to with rapt attention. The first two pieces La Papillon and Lelrgante, Mazuita De Salon were so brightly rendered, that each listener waited anxiously to hear more. Etude IV. Rubensteln opus 23 was magnificently rendered by Miss Car rie Line Dobey. Bereense F. Chopin, Op. 57, in this piece of music we can wj-fte what Liszt wrote of Chopin in his poetic sketch of him as a composer. “In it is meet beauties of the high est kind, expressions entirely new and harmonic, material as original as it is thoughful.” Miss Gardner truly showed her love of the classic piece as she played with the chaste tend erness the principal lines. Miss Dobey could not have given more expression to "By Moonlight” The young ladies charmed their audience with each number as they were rendered faultlessly and with marked appreciation. The last number, "The Majestic Croica,” Symphonic which was com pleted in 1804. This by Miss Dobey and Miss Gard ner was played with much brilliancy and showed their appreciation of the composer and stamp him as a virtur ous of the first rank. The friends of these young ladies wish them a bright career. NEGRO MURDERER ARRESTED NEW YORK—Walter Owens, the negro, who shot and killed a street car conductor at Woodbury, N.

Grand Tire Sale COMMENCING Friday Morning Andrews Bros. Co's Stock Fine Dry Goods at Tremendous Sacrifice Be Sure to Attend A PROVEN SUCCESS BY TWO YOUNG MEN How Profits Are Being Made in the Poultry Business By Beginners. Two young men of our acquaintance, both owners of paying drug stores, have sold their stores and are now devoting their entire time to the chicken business. They have been dabbling in the busi ness more or less for five or six years in connction with •their other business, aiyi have found that the poultry busi ness increased so that it was a question of doing one of the two things, drop the poultry work the store, or quit the store nnd push the chickens. In both cases the design was made in favor <*>: the chickens. One man said he fSMind he could clear as much cash each day from the sale of eggs in the market, or rather to select customers, as he could from his store, with half the worry and an noyance, nnd with a god deal better health. It is rather a strange a coinci dence yet both of these men are strong admirers and advocates of the single Comb White Leghorns, and as we said both druggists. One breeds a strain of the very fan ciest of stock for breeding and exhibi tion purposes, and Is doing exceedingly well. The other has so far been breed ing almost solely for eggs—market eggs -and he has been equally successful. During all the time, however, thl\t he has been producing these eggs Vh paying quantities, he has not neglected the quality of his stock but has aimed to keep a fine stock of standard bred birds, good enough to sell for hatching from at any time. He has sold a good many eggs during the hatching season at good prices. By way of explanation w e want to say that these men were both tfuccess ful men in the drug business and dlu not drift into the chicken business on ac count of failure their otl|er business It just goes to show' what we have been trying for year* to impress upon the people of this country: that the possi bilities are as great in the chicken bus iness as in any other line of trade, and that the results will be conmmensurate with the business thrift and intelligence put Into it. You wIFI note that these men are both working wdth pure breeds—old and established breeds ai that. The chances are ten to one that had they experi mented for the five years or more w!HT scrubs they would have left the busi ness long ago in disgust. Common chickens can be made to pay, but good stock will pay much better. These men have taken the time to prove their ground and he sure of what, they can reasonably expect and feel no doubts about it. This Is another point we have tried to impress upon our reaoers time and agin. Take time enough to get the experience that is absolutely essen tial to success in this or any other bus iness, and not pet the idea that because you hwve made ton hens pay you can Jump right into the business by keep ing a thousand the next year. You are obliged to gradually build up. “Prove all things and hold fast to that which Is good. Wright Brothers QK.YZHZ..
