Heustess started the afternoon for Clio by winning the 100-yard dash in 10 3-5 seconds, and in the 220yard dash he set a new South Carolina interscholastic record, doing the distance in 23 seconds flat, one-fifth of a second better than the old figure. The performers in the various events were on the whole good. Three new records were set, and one old record tied; however, in two or three events the records fell considerably short.

I Gaffney, April 27.?Within a alf mile of where the battle of ' owpens was fought there lies a ' .irious looking rock which the Id settlers say fell there in the ^ ear 1807. Robert Scruggs, the 1 ither of Black Scruggs, said be * >re his death some years ago * iai ne remembered the occur 1 mce well; that one night a 1 right light was seen in the \ ravens, followed by a loud ex- 1 osion for which no one in the ( sighborhood could account; * lat the next morning those who 1 ent out into the tobacco field ' iw this rock where it had fall- * i and that all around where it " 11 the tobacco had been killed. f !r.

Fragments are scat- s red for a considerable distance f Dm the place where it is said r have fallen. Mr. Scruggs told r. Thomas that the trees in the t iighborhood had the appear- i ice ef having been shot after 1 e rock fell. Dr. Lodge took a 1 mple which he says he will nd to an eminent geologist for lalysis. t Feed the Young Pig Through the Mother Progressive Farmer The cheapest way to feed the pigs, up to the time they are 8 to 10 weeks old, is through their mother. This is an important period in the life of a pig, and while he may be pushed along faster by a little sweet milk and soaked corn or by corn alone after he is a month old, still, the best way to feed him is through liis mother. This being the case, it is important that the sow suckling a littei of pigs be well fed. It is known by all that a cow requires grass or green feed to B[ive the most milk, but many seem to fail to realize that the same fact applies to the sow giving milk. The sow should have ereen feed, and some legume or rape will be found best, although any green feed will be of great benefit. It a green legume is being grazed and there is plenty of it, corn alone will not be bad feed for a sow; but the ration will be improved if some other feed can be added to the corn. Skimmed milk or tankage will be excellent, three pounds of milk to one Df corn are good proportions If neither of these is available, then a mixture ot two parts of corn to nne part of wheat shorts or bran, nr eaual narls of mm chr?rtc o?a A _ m -v. W??v* iO UUU bran make a good combination, [f there is no green teed and no ?rain but corn can be had, then by all means the sow should bave some legume hay in such quantity as she will consume. There is no reason why the sows should not be fed better except the neglect to provide the feed. The feeds which may be pro-, vided on any Southern farm are so numerous and so easily grown that no one should buy highpriced feeds like wheat shorts, For instance, unless the feeds thrown on the farm can be sold at a price that will make the selling of these and the buying sf others a profitable trade. At any rate, the sow sucklin? i litter of pigs is, for the service >he renders, entitled to more and setter feed than she generally ?ets. \nother Still Captured in Union Monroe Journal. Officers Griffin, Robinson, and Fowler, made a raid on a couple :>f stills last night. They found >ne on the Goose Creek and VIonroe township line. It was wrought to town, but there were 10 arrests in connection with his one, but Sim Burgess is in 011 h?r<i in -*1- ** ?. ..v>v in vwiiiicxuuu wuii me )ther one, which was found in joose Creek township in the E. t).

Uncle Sam Draws Plans for Model Cottage at Little Cost Uncle Sam and Dan Cupid t announce the invention of a r "perfect love of a vine-clad cot- ^ tage, economically and scientifi- . cally made/* that any prospective builder can obtain by writ- ^ ing to the Department of Agri- t culture at Washington, D.
