What would this town be if folks didn't have something to wy tof it? The good effect is umulative. ' If one says things loud enough ftnd often enough, things will begin moving our town's way. ? H has proved true in the past; it will prove doubly so now. Some towns excel la one thing. Some excel in others. All, it is safe to say, excel in some things. Play 'em up. Maybe it's railway facili , ties, and that means convenience in hipping. Ma^be it is schools.

Wal ter Johnson, star pitcher for the Washington Americans, "struck out" a Florida black bear today in the swamp country south of Hastings. The bear, which weighed 200 pounds, was trailed by a pack of dogs. John son was chief rifleman in the party, which included a number of sports men fro-m Daytona and Hastings. Members of the party said Johnson ? usually the coolest man on a ball field ? was somewhat excited when the bear was surrounded. He was wild with his first two shots but settled down to his regular control and dispatched the animal. It was his first bear hunt in the swamplands. Makes Profit on Poultry R. V. Vernon, Union county farmer, whose home Is not far from Monroe, N. C., has disproved the old statement that there is no profit in raising poultry. Mr. Vernon started the sea son this year with three hundred Barred Rocks. On July.l, he culled these three hundred and sold one hun dred of the culls. Since that time he has kept nearly two hundred laying hens. Up to September 1 he had sold $703 worth of eggs and one hundred fifty broilers, in addition to the 100 hens. Mr. Vernon did not keep a record of the amount he received for the broilers and hens, but it amounted to a substantial sum. He figured the cost of feeding at comparatively nothing, since the feed for the chick ens was raised on land that otherwise would have been idfe.

Columbia, S. C. LONG DROUGHT BROKEN Heavy Rainfall* Reported From All Section* of The State (Tuesday's Columbia State) South Carolina's most disastrous drought is broken. Heavy rains falling throughout th* Piedmont have relieved that section ? among many sufferers the one most severely affected ? and have augment ed greatly water stands in streams, assuring a much needed water supply for industries dependent upon hydro electric power. The drought has been broken in both the Piedmont and the lower Carolina coast, Uiehard II. Sullivan, meteorologist in charge of the South Carolina section of the United States weather hureau? said yesterday after noon, while heavy rains in central and eastern South Carolina h*yd been com paratively light. Reports from several cities? -not ably Sumter, Florence and Orange burg ? last night indicated, however, that even in these sections the intens ity of the rainfall had increased and pointed to a general break up of the drought throughout the Palmetto state. Even in portions of the state whorj the precipitation has been compara tively light a maximum good has been realized from the rainfall, for the' rain has descended for the most part ?in a slow, misty drizzle that buried deep into the thirsty soil and brought new life to tree and grass and culti vated plant. Aided by cloudy weather and little wind the soil has been able to retain practically all the moisture received, Mr. Sullivan pointed out such a rain being of much greater benefit than a .heavy summer thundershower fol lowed by. a bright sun. The drought stricken Piedmont, which has received occasional scat tered showers 4urin& l?ng period, was drinking up its full Sunday and yesterday of the heaviest rain since last spring. TJie rain has been fall ing at just the places needed to send up the gauges in Broad and Saluda rivers, important streams in the hydro-electric industry, and already Broad river at Parr Shoals has an excellent stand of water, Mr. Sulli van explained. Rains were needed only in the up per Waterec watershed to insure for the present an abundance of water I power for the industries using that stream, he went on to say. plowing will of course be greatly .benefited by the rains which have softened the soil throughout the state. Germination of winter grains and development of other crops are also being brought about by the gen eral precipitation. And water that has sunken deep into the earth will eventually find its way to wellg and Springs, where it is greatly needed. The Godsend of rain, coming at the beginning of what is normally South Carolina's dryest month, has been oc casioned by the apparent immovabil ity of an area of low pressure which has been hanging for several days over the southwestern tip of Florida and the Gulf coast, producing rain throughout the Southeast. Pelzer's rainfall for the 24 hour period ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning amounted to more than two inches; during the same period Green ville received 1.76 inches, and other upstate stations recorded heavy falls. Spartanburg had, during the 24 hour period ending at noon yesterday, the heaviest fall since spring. ^ Columbia, which received only 1.14 inches of rain during October, had up .until 8 o'clock last night received .77 inches for the two days of this month; Orangeburg, for the 48 hour period tending at 5 o'clock yesterday after noon, had recorded a precipitation of 1.54 inches; Cheraw had more than an inch during the 24 hour period ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and for the same period Hlat'rs reported J. 11 inches and Catawba in southern York county, 1:58 inches.. Rain has been falling intermittently in Sumter since Friday night, and yesterday morning there was a hard shower be fore the steady, welcome winter drizzle was resumed. Florence re ceived, during the two days, more than cm! inch of rain. CHARLOTTE THOMPSON'S ROLL ? 1 ViQ} . .J Many Studenta Make Distinguished > Marks Daring Second Month Crude. I ?
