"My boy came to me^this morn ing and *aid; 'Father, you have been sending mo to one of the best colleges in South Carolina for the past two year? at a cost of $1,000 a year. I've got enough of it and I want to go to work. Maybe it is the Florida fever; but that is where I want to go ami I want to go on my own hook. I hav<j accomplished but little in the past two years except to acquire a knowledge of leading football and baseball players. I do not want ttf be a lawyer or a teacher or a preach* | er. This Greek and Latin and geom etry and trig and chemistry isn't I worth a cuss to >a man. who wants to live out in the open. I do not want to be a doctor. I am fed up on this college stuff ? athletics and ex travagance. 1 am doing no good. My conscience hurts me. 1 am nineteen. The only thing I have acquired after two years in college that will be woith a darn to ine is a .littlc'\'poHsh | and association and acquaintance, with boys from other sections of the Lstate. I want your permission to hit the world on my own initiative.' "And 1 readily agreed," replied the sacrificing father. "I told him that 1 would gladly see him through col lege to a degree, although it meant continued sacrifice. And while 1 didn't tell him So, my heart leaped within j me when he spoke, because while I knew that he had largely wasted the past two years, it did me good to know that he too realized it. And while he is my boy and a father may be pardoned for referring with pride to his own, 1 am betting on the la 1 to settle down to it now and 1 am betting he will make his way with out any degree."

An inci'ehS'j of 424,000 bales in this year's pros pective cotton crop was announced today by the Department of Agri culture in its semi-monthly report, which forecasts production at 13, 990,000 equivalent 500-pound bales. The condition of the crop on Aug ust 1G was estimated at C2.0 per cent of a normal, indicating an acre yield of 144.1 pounds, compared with 139.8 pounds on August 1 this year and 64.9 per cent on August 16 last year, when the fimtfl yield was 157.4 pounds. The condition of the crop improved in the half month in all states except. South Carolina, Alabama and Arkan sas. ' Drought continues in South 'Caro lina, northern Georgia and South Central Texas, the crop reporting board stated, and small-sized bolls are reported from those sections. In Arkansas the crop has suffered J chiefly from insects and diseases. Condition of this year's growth > ginned prior to August 16 totaled I 577,921 running bales, counting round j as half bales, the census bureau an- ; nounced in the joint report.

Brown's hest was crushed and his neck broken by the blow and he died almost in.-atantly. A woods fire had caught the tree which was burning during the day and Brown's attention was called to it that it might fall at any time, but it is said he did not take much notice, faying tfcat it would fall in another direction.

A few days ago federal officers shot a suspected rum-runner in the back near Spartanburg, anil, left his body to rot in the wpods.. A day or so later federal agents killed a young man, alleged bootleg ger, on the streets of a Maryland city by shooting him in the back while he wan running away from them. Almost every day one. reads of fed eral officers shooting citizens, some of whom are guilty of violating the law, some of whom are innocent. The piactice seems to be to- kill the sus pects first and to try them after ward. The officers have fixed death as the penalty for being suspected of rum-running, and have appointed themselves as executioners J&P Two highly respectable and law- J abiding citizens of the town of Pick- j ens recently told The Sentinel they are afraid to drive their automobiles without first having disinterested parties look to see that no whjske\ has been hidden in the cars. These two citizens are personal enemies of a high federal prohibition officer in this state and it is reported that the federal officer has offered a considerable. amount of money to a certain person if he would place some whiskey in the car of a local citizen so that that officer could, catch and seize the car and prosecute and hu miliate its owner. ? , Although this Pickens man is hon orable, respected, law-abiding, and there is no suspicion whatever that he handles whiskey in any form, his room has been searched in spectacular i manner and his car has been held up j on the public highway and searched by this federal officer. No whiskey or j any sign of it, has been found either time. The officer knows this citizen does not fool with whiskey. He is simply usfng his authority to humili ate a personal enemy, ^ Such proceedings tire an outrage and a disgrace to the American gov ernment of which every citizen is a part. Do the good citizens of this coun try approve of such tactics? How much longer are you going to stand for it? The prohibition law is a good thing but .the way some officers take advan toge of it is outrageous. First Bales at Kershaw On last Frday morning H. fc. Wil liams, who resides in the Hanging Rock section, brought the first bale of new cotton to this market. It, weighed 451 pounds and was bought by the Kershaw Mercantile & Bank - ! ing Company at 21 cents per pound, bringing a total of $10H.21. The sec ond bale was brought here by B. f. Shaw, of the Lockhart section, whose bale weighed 535 pounds and was j bought by Threatt -Carson company j at 23 1-8 cents per pournl. ?

Mountain Fire I'nder Control Asheville, August 22. ? The wide spreading forest fire on Grandfather mountain, near Blowing Hock, was brought under control today by vol unteer fire fighters after it swept eijrtat square miles of timberlands. The loss to timber will total $300, 000 according to veteran lumbermen. The flame,* destroyed a large saw mill and several mountain huts but the fire fighting crews prevented it spreading to a number of mountain hotels in the vicinity.

Clcmson College, Aug. The ex U'i me shortage of corn in tho Pied mont section of South Carolina this year makes it very necessary that a large crop of oats be planted for grain production and special atten tion he given tho crop, thinks T. S. ' Huie, Associate Agronomist. A few mistakes often mage in planting oats are -that too small a 1 quantity of seed is used; seed are not! treated for .smut; they atv planted too | I late; ami they are often improperly I j fertilised. .Mr, Huie makes below sug gestions on these important points. For best production of grain, from j two to three bushels of seed should be i planted per acre. The exact Quantity i will depend somewhat upon tne con- | dition of tho land and method of seed- j ing. Fulghum and Appier are two j good varieties recommended for this i stato. . The best time for planting in the ; Piedmont is from September 1 to Oc tober 15. In the (\>astal Plain the planting dates are about two weeks later. Where cotton stalks can be turned under early this shouUj be done and the oats drilled or sown j broadcast. If it is impossible to turn1 under tho stalks early in the fall, then the oats may be sown in the cotton middles with a one-horse drill, and the old old cotton stalks destroy ed afterwards by rutting with a stalk ' cutter. j Oat Rnuit is a very prevalent dis ease of oats, and often greatly re-! duces the yield. Treating the seed with formalin will prevent smut and this should always be done. Complete directions will be sent upon applica- ! lion to Clemson College. Where planted in a rotation, the 1 other crops of which have received rather liberal applications of com- j pteiovfertiJi/.er, no potash will be re-' quired by the oat crop, unci unless j the land is very light no ammonia should be applied at planting. A good practice is to apply 100 to 150 pounds of acid phosphate per acre at plant ing to be followed by one or more lib eral applications of a readily availa ble nitrogenous fertilizer such as ni trate of soda or sulphate of ammonia in the spring. On rich soils, especially if heavily fertilized for cotton, the top dressing will often" be all that is required. This season particularly, every far mer should give especial attention to the ont crop, and endeavor to produce as much grain as possible to supple ment the short corn crop. As a result of disastrous forest fires in California last year, 10,000 acres of public land and forest have been closed to the public and camping and smoking restriction have been placed on another several million acres of forest land.
