BELONGED TO FAMOUS MAN s Chair Once Used by Primate Bramhall ? Restored to Place in' Cathe. dral at Armagh. An ancient chair which was iedi- p cated recently at Armagh (Ireland) , cathedral by the primate was a e great find, being the oak chair be- d longing to Primate Bramhall, who came into office shortly after Crom well's time. For many years efforts I have been made to trace the chair, y but it was only a few weeks ago that , it was discovered to be in the hands r of a well-known London expert. The c chair was submitted to a famous anti- i quarian who at once Identified it, with. the result that it has returned to Its original home--the cathedraL At the top of the chair is carved a large 'eye I -the all-seeing eye; beneath ft a . crown after a mifter, and under 'fta the arms of the See of Armagh.

Gone Beyond Repair. L I was returning on the electric traia I late -one day frem a long hike with my t geology class. We were tired,' and in getting our seats I pushed with my foot the back of the seat in front so that we could face each other. I heard a crash, and with dismay saw I had knocked to the floor a bag which was on the seat. The owner promptily nppeared on the seme with what .'-emied to ime undue anxiety. I apologized for my act, adding that no 01 harm seemed to have been done to his ml bag. ,c His perturbation was expiained 1w when he announced in a loud voice, ss "Young man, there are eggs in that 'j bag !"-Exchiange. e King Admires Shakespears. The king of Slam is one of the out ,poken admirers of Shakespeare.

PLAN 'TO IMPROVE ROAD TO COLUMBIA Chester, July 31.-With recent road improvements and those that are un der way at this time, the logical route from Charlotte to Columbia is by Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Chester, Blackstock, Winnsboro and Ridgeway, Chester highway authorities believe.', With the completion. of the high way from Winnsboro to Blythewood, ,which will link up with the hard sur face road from Columbia, there will be only two bad stretches in thle high Jway from Charlotte to Columbia via Rock Hill, Chester and Winnsboro. These two are from BlackstocC to Winnsboro and in the Fort Mill sec tion of York county. Charles H. Moorefield state high 'way engineer, and Charles 0. Hearn, member of the highway commission, will meet with the county officials at Winnsboro tomorrow to discuss the advisability of a bond issue for road impiovements in Fairfiel1. This neeting is especially in the interest f the Charlotte to Columbia high vay and the matter of improving the oad from Blackstock to Winnsboro will be of first consideration. The roposed Fairfield development will include a new bridge across Broad river. The road from Charlotte to Colum ia is already a stateway, being (le ignated as route No. 16 from Colum ia to Chester and from Chester to thie North Carolina line via Rock Hill as route No. 7. A great deal o' travel will be diverted over this route when the road is improved in the sections 'named and plans are under way at the present time for these improve mients. The people of Fort Mill are heartily behind the movement to improve the oad in that section. In fact they have practically let a contract for a hard surface road through the town f Fort Mill and funds will be raised f not already available, to continue I good road, although not hard sur I ace, from Fort Mill to the Mecklen burg county line. On the Charlotte to Columbia route here is a good sand clay highway all Ithe way through Chester county and in addition to this Chester county has only recently completed a new con ,crete bridge across South Fork creek, Iwhich is a great credit to this county. This bridge is open to traffic. WEEVIL INFESTATION IRREGULAR. Clemson College, July 31.

The percentage of squares infest e e varies, as shown by the reports e ~from a small percent zo 60 or 71) per s oert. This condition frequentlyi e very mislead~ing to farmers who are t giving the credit of lkw infestatioi n to one or other of the control meas - lures they are attempting, .when as . matter o ffact the infestation was no .here to begin with. We know this to be the case, because there hava been accumulated over a period oi years a series of most elaborate data in experimental work showing what Right, If V GOOD IN! OF ALI Winnsboro Inm 1E LIAISON and XCELLENT to prepare for positions no information address: Greenwood Bu results may be expected from one or the other of these various control measures under the best conditions. Square collecting when done thor oughly on the plant and on the ground is still advised throughout the Pied mont section, and in other sections and areas where light square infes, tation occurs. Frequent- shallow cultivation should be continued so long as cotton does not sufficiently overlap for this to be injurious. It is very necessary that the labor situation be controlled during August for the purpose of square collecting and cultivation. Failure to have lab r available may mean much loss. Frequently we are asked to advise whether dusting should be undertak n where square infestation has reach ,I upwards of 60 percent. This de 'ends on: 1. Whether the farmer is prepar d to dust immediately. If so, then vYe advise him to dust, but there is no time left now to secure dusting machinery and poison, knowing that weevil dispersion is about to begin. 2. Wherever the dusting schedule has been begun it should be contin ed with view of reducing these high nfestations before the dispersion be gins.
