Daylight Saving Is
Not Popular in Italy
Daylight Having Is unpopular in Italy
because ??f the uaine the government
ascribed to It. At least that Is former
Premier Nlttl's laughing explanation.
The new time was called the "legal
hour4* _
With tlie advent of spring. says Mr.
Kenneth L. ltoberts In Europe's Morn
ing After, the Italian KuvornniCRt or
dered that all clocks ho set hack an
hour so that the jjeople might ha>re
the advantage of an extra hour of
daylight. But In Italy, aa In other
countries, a large number of people
didn't like the arrangement, and so
they mado a frightful uproar and or
ganized strikes against the "legal
hour." The street railway employees,
for example, were .striking; I asked
one of them his reasons.
"The new hour," said he, "makes it
necessary for us to get up too early
In the morning. Everything Is foggy
and dark."
I reminded him thut the new hour
saVed coal for the nation and gave
him un extra hour of daylight ""when
his work was done.
"Yes," he said, "hut It la' too foggy
and dark when we get up."
"(hir mistake," declared Nlttl, "was
In ?'alllng It 'the legal hour.' We
should hnvo known that no true Ital
ian would have endured It. We should
hare called It 'the Illegal hour.' Then
every Italian would have been unani
mously In favor of It l"
Materials in Straw Hats
In the United States straw hats are
made from braid that Is chiefly Im
ported from Italy, China and Japan,
says the Detroit News. Of the vari
ous materials which go Into the fab
rication of plaited hatgear the most
Important is wheaten straw. The
straw must havo a length of "pipe"
between the knots and must possess a
clear, delicate golden color and must
not be brittle. The most valuable
straw Is from Tnscany, and from the
Tuscan plaits the leghorn hats are
made. Many substances besides
straw are used in braids for hats and
bonnets. Among these may be no
ticed willow nnd cane, as well aa
palin.
The famous panama hats are made
from the leaves of the screw pine.
Nearly Killed by Bats
Attacked by what he declares was a
swarm of a thousand bats, Joseph Mo
rasky, Southern Pacific station agent
at inilay, relates a weird story of a
recent trip he made through a cave In
a mountain six miles east of Imlay
Morasky says he lowered himself Into
the mouth of the cave, and after pro
ceeding through a natural tunnel nnd
down an Incline for about 200 feet
came Into a large chamber. This
chamber was the home of the bntR, j
nnd he says they began an infuriated |
attack upon him, and declares that lie '
owes his life to the fart that he wore j
a \ ery heR\y cap. coat and gloves. '

REPUBLICAN MMTTING.
Joe Talbert Iloldx Convention at Rock
Hill.
# Kock Hill, Feb. 14. ? Republicans ot
tho Fifth dint riot met hero this after
noon and elected U. H. Haile, Camden
negro, delegate to tho national con
vention, and Will Woodward, Rock
Hill, alternate.
The official convention, presided
over by Major J. F. Jones, was held in
the hall of tho Cauthen Building, in a
! negro section of tho city. "Boss" Joe
Tolbert made a rousing speech accord
ing to Bomo of those in attendance.
"Ross" Tolbert and Major Jones ar
rived lfc&t night and were in confer
ence with dolegates to the convention
until 1:30 o'clock this morning, it was
learned today. AH during the morn
ing Mr. Tolbert was surrounded by a
group of his dusky admirers and the
tracks had been . cleared and greased
long before the convention gavel fell.
Last night a conference was held at
the home of "Bisk" Hall, well -known
Rock Hill negro, attended \>y Mr. Tol
bert and Major Jones. Several con
ferences were held in rooms of the
lenders in the Carolina Hotel, whore
Tolbert and Jones were stopping.
The fact that the Republican boss
called at the Postoffiee building du
.ing the day- was regarded as signifi
.tint, in view of the fact that the pres

learned, Mr. Barrett did not attend
any of the conferences or the conven

Editor Camden Chronicle: 1

the farmors of Kershaw County that
the legislature has placed in ths
Hands of the Statto Warehouse Com
misaioner a large sum of money as a
revolving fund for the purpose pf l)Ur,
chasing ahd distributing to the far
mers of the state Calcium Arsenals
land other Boll Weevil poisons at thu
cost of procuring and handling same.
The Commissioner early in the sea
son u ranged with some large manu
facture? of this ^ material at a \
cheap price and is now able to deliver
it to any point in the. state in any
quantities of fifty pounds or' more %t
one-third less than it was sold for
last year. This material is handled
.very carefully and upo.n ^arrival ig
sampled and analyzed by the State
Chemist before being sent out so as
to insufo its effectiveness in poisoning
the Boll Weevil.
The Calcium situation seems to be
.very acute anyd I am afraid that we
will see prices great deal higher later
on; besides, the probability of not
being able to procure a. sufficient
quantity unless the people buy early
so that the money can be used again
when the real need comes. I am
herefore, in the face of this situa
tion, advising all our farmers to pur
chase their requirements now whilo
the price is reasonable aqd while it
can be had. The cotton states to the
west of us are the greatest users of
boll weevil poison and they never buy
until late on account of having no
place to care for it. When they come
in the market for their requirements
we may expect a sudden scarcity and
a great -advance in .price. ?
1 shall be glad to furnish any of our
farmers with such information, as I
have on the subject. Just write or
wire.
Yours very truly,

State Warehouse Commissioner.

in many places of the power of the palmist to predict the future things and
give warnings. She tells you the initial of your future companion, whether
true or false; tells you what business you are best adapted to and all about
absent friends, whether living or dead. Tells you what planet you were

know how you could win your desire? . In fact, it does no good simply to be
told of your troubles. I am able to point out the path to success and
happiness.
