L: -T . / ',jyi jyKyi^* V '" P. HoE5^^?B^W>etponsJ to a nuinbi^of requests ifer the pub-1 lication of his annual forecast of the I first killing frost of the fall, makes the ' prediction for the frost this year to occur during the seven-day period t f which October 23 is the central date. Temperatures the latter part of Sep- ' tember* wiW be low, he says, with September 24 as the central date. It is quite probable, in his oninion, that light frosts will occur before October' 1. These forecasts for frost include, the section north of the 34th parallel. "It is indicated that two snows at least will occur during the winter east; and south of the Illue Ridge. It is not probable that snow will occur before th?' winter solstiCe, December 20. "A forecast of winter temperature and precipitation will be possible after Octoper 1. Indications, however, are that lower temperatures than last winter are more than probable.? The State. Winthrop s tine tattle. One of the best herds of dairy and | beef cattle in the Southeast is the one | owned by the Winthrop College, Rock i Hill, South Carolina. From this herd the college, with its S(K) studenas in the winter and -KM) in j summer, are supplied with milk and; butti r, and the farm also produces; more than 200 beeves which are used , at the school. The dairy itself is a model. The superintendent each day makes a re- j port to the president of the college on the output.? Southern Field. "Panama on Wheels." One of the most unique methods to arouse interest in the approaching com- | pletion of the Panama canal, and the ^ immense trade expansion that will | follow the canal's opening, especially in the South, has been launched by the ; Mobile, Ala., chamber of commerce and business league. This is a "Panama Canal on Wheels," which is now touring the 10 Southern States for the next few weeks before the Mobile convention of the Southern Commercial congress, to be held in the Alabama city October 27-29, at which President Wilson, Secrstary Darnels, Secretary Bryan and scores of prominent congressmen and citizens will deliver addresses. The "Panama Canal on Wheels" consists of a special car containing a complete working model of the Panama canal. Remembered Former Slaves. William Reilly, president of the Luziannc coffee company, went to his country estate at Monroe, near New Orleans, a few days ago and notified all the former slaves of his father and their descendents to assemble at a cabin which had been given to one of the old slaves by his former master. When the thirty negroes had gathered Mr. Iteilly nearly took their breath away with this statement: "I am going to try to put you in the way of living independently and prosperously. 1 have a plantation here and I am going to make you an offer. I am j going to cut it up into farms, build each of you a good house, stock each farm and let you run it yourself, but on one condition that you must all agree to. You must not buy anything on credit. 1 have arranged with a , bank to give each of you what you j need, and you must let me know how j much that will be each month. Understand, this is only on condition that you ask credit of no one." The plantation to be divided is one of ; the finest in Louisiana. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.
