Now that we are having rain* gen erally over thU county, there are several important things thet can be done. Many of us have been waiting { ifor rains to plant fall gardens. It is now time to make settings of col- lafds and onions and ylant turnips, spinach, parsley, mustard, lettuce and kale. AH of these crops do well when jplanted at this time and will furnish us vegetables in a short while. The i much needed rains also gi »’e us an opportunity to prepare fieVs for fall sowing of oats, rye, veteh_ etc. We all realize that the early panting of grain crops U advantognou*.

To talk across the continent is almost as easy as calling across the hedge to your next-door neighbor. The long distance lines in South Carolina are a part of this nation-wide system, and also serve a vital need in the business life of the State and the South. To care for this growing demand will require an expenditure of $167,700 thi® year for reconstruction and additions to the long distance system in South CaTblina alone. f The long distance service is better than ever before. The transmission is clear and the operators are han dling a larger volume of calls with speed and accuracy. Merchants,^ manufacturers and business men are utilizing this service to increase business and reduce expenses. Why not^ tr^ it7- MORGAN B.

Half of the episodes will be on the making of the nation, while the other half is on the making of South Carolina. More than one thousand people will partici pate and it will be given in the foot ball stadium which seats around 11,- 000 people. The professional director, who is al ready on the scene, says that he never saw a more ideal place for a pageant, for every patron can be seated and see the pageant, whereas, often this is not the case. A committee of prominent South Carolinians, familiar with the accurate history of the state, has worked out the episodes which have been, in turn, dramatized by a professional. The pageant will be gjven on the nights of October 23rd and 24th and it is believed that there will not be smjjjeJ^fccant seat either night. Crest interest has been shown in the event and it gives e*.cry indication of. being a fitting climax to the biggest affair in the history of the State. “Bigg^r~and tetter than ever” is a familiar slogan for affairs, hut the slogan absolutely fit* the 1925 exhi bition of the South Carolina society. From Monday through Saturday the program is filled with interesting events. ‘‘We have made it a truuly six-day and six-night affair,” said D. F. Efird, secretary, “and we hope all patrons will make their plans to stay over night rather than a rush visit of one day.” ; He Wins a Prize! Luke Hollcomb isn’t as bashful as people say he is!

(Published by Request) Much misery is caused by the scan dalmonger, and he or she is bu^y in every locality. It is hard to trace a lie to its source, and hitherto the gos- siper has been able to laugh at the law. Now. however, the. X-ray of science is focussed upon the “assas sin of character,” and it is possible that the near future may see the com ing of “scandal asylums” to house such busy bodies. For an eminent mind specialist asserts that the gos sip the anonymous letter writers are insane. Prolonged study and wide research have convinced him that not only is “jangling” a malady of a perverted mind, but that it is also one of the nastiest and most viscous diseases * known.
