Rubber hoof pads are not recommended for horses that work on the farm, as the soil works its way under the pad, causing lameness by extra pressure on the navicular point When rubber pads arc used, the Bureau of Animal Industry advises that pine tar with a thin layer of oakum should be applied to the sole of the jfoot to keep it moist and avoid con? traction. -1 -1 - - Death of William T. Catoe. William T. Catoe passed away at his home in Spartanburg last Wednesday, September 7, at 3:30 o'clock in - the afternoon, and his remains were taken to Hanging Rock church for burial in the Hanging Rock cemetery. Mr. Catoe was in his 78th year, having been born November 22, 1849, and was reared only a little more than a mile northwest of Kershaw, in I^ancaster county. He left here about 23 years ago to make his home in Spartanburg, where he has resided ever since. For the past ten years he had been in feeble health but was confined to his bed only a few days prior to his death. Mr. Catoe was always a quiet and peaceable citizen, who was highly ' respected by those who knew him. 1 He has many relatives and friends 'here and at Spnrtafiburg who lament 1 his death find who bore evidence of I their appreciation of him in the I beautiful floral tributes they con' tributed and in the personal interest manifested. I Mr. Catoe iB survived by the following children: Mrs. Zeb Alver|son; Coke Catoe of Spartanburg and T. M. Catoe of Charlotte, all of ' whom attended the funeral.?Ker'shaw Era. I I Change in Rural Route Many of our readers residing in eastern Kershaw will today get their copy of The Chronicle as early as many of the people in Camden read it. The change is brought about by the fact that patrons getting their mail from Lucknow have been changed to receive it on Cassattfl route two, and the change will prove very beneficial to these patrons, t . . -t .....

Scout John Richardson, Troop -No. 2, Camden, has Wen awartfed the Eagle Scout Badge by the National Council Boy Scouts of America, making the second Camden boy to attain this honor. He was also awarded the Life and Star badge* by the f Council. ' Scout Richardson, now a Freshman at V. M L, joined the Boy Scouts., when they' were re-orgaaiaed in Camden in July 1924 and has been a member of the Troop since. He served as patrol leader of the Eagle Patrol, of which ho was a member, and aided in giying teats for the underclass members of the troop. He has to his credit twentythree Merit Badges and with them the record of the Troop. As Scout Richardson had already left for school when the Eagle Badge arrived, there could not be a personal presentation but it is being forwarded to him at Virginia Military Institute. ,With the approach of the hunting season, the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture directs attention to the fact that under the migratory-bird treatyact regulations, administered by that Bureau, the only shorobirds that may be lawfully hunted are Wilson snipe, or jacksnipe, and woodcock. The Federal season has been closed for an indefinite period on blaek-bellied and golden plovers and until August 16, 1929, on greater and lesser yellowlegs. Th^re is no open season on reedbirds. A copy of the Federal game laws and also a bulletin containing a synopsis of Fedemi, State, and Provincial laws relating to the protection of game will be furnished free on request addressed to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. . _ m Lightning conductors should be attached direct to a building with metallic fasteners. Porcelain Insulators are not required. A good electrical connection with the wet roof and walls of a building, says the Weather Bureau, helps to relieve the structure of its charge. When a conductor of sufficient weight per foot is used (the minimum is 3 ounces for copper conductors), there is no danger of the building being fired, even when a direct stroke of lightning is passing through the conductors. Under our present calendarT no century can commence on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. October begins always on the same day of the week as January; February, March and November commerce on the same day of the week, while May, June and August commence on different days. The year always finishes on the same day of the week as it began. These rules, of course, do not apply to leap years. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Because of the belief that the souls of ancestors are transferred to children, Eskimo natives do not punish their offspring. '^r The half-cent stamp is tb<f lowest denomination of all adhesive postage stamps issued by the United States and the five-dollar stamp the largest. According to Arthur Koehlerj specialist in wood structure of the Department of Agriculture, there are more than sixty different species of I timber that have at one time or another been put on the market unI the name of mahogany. | The flag of Alaska was designed by I Benny Benson, a 16-year-old schoolboy. In New ^ ork on the grave of a I soldier of the War of 1812 is a wild flower unknown to the State of New York but native to Connecticut. It is believed that the flower sprang from a seed carried in the clothing of the soldier.

Aull Columbia, Sept 12L~ Under t*e Constitution of South Carolina there am three ^-ordinate branches of the State government, and no one of them may have jurisdiction or control over the other. That is the same way with the Federal coimti-, tutioo. and that is the real principle ?One of them?upon which the government was founded. There are several others?among them personal sod religious freedom?hut there have been so far relegated to the background, in some instances, that it is not necessarily seriously to consider them any more. Especially when it comes to legislative enactments. Sometimes the su-i prrtne court, to keep, a fellow from sitting in the electric clglir too long, pr to save, the nerves of some. fellow who does not Uk#> an electric shock, j somewhat goes into this antiquated i doctrine. (But, in the best regulated Society, it is not usually discussed. ' Why, then, it is asked, should s legislature of South Carolina, when liquor is so cheap, buy water? A South Caroliija legislature did so, and not only that, but it bought it from a soft drinks firm. And not only that, but it so far violated the latter-day proprieties, as to buy it froin a soft drink firm that boldly proclaims its name as a dispenser of soft drinks. On April 28, 1927, the comptroller' general's office honored a voucher in the sum of $44.80, payable to the NuGrape Company, for water for the engrossing department. On April 25, to the same comapny, a voucher for $365.90 was honored for water for the South Carolina house of representatives. The senate, having less members, did not of course drink as much water. Its water bill amounted to only $138.60. The general assembly of 1927 stayed in session a long time. It I was spoken of by some as "long session," reverting back to the old I long sessions of Parliament. l<t was e\pected of course that it should drink water. What else should it drink?in a town where water is as pure as it is in Columbia? Columbia has mighty pure water. Anybody can go in any other office in the State House, or in any store in Columbia, and get a glass of water, and there] is no charge. They are glad to see you, and ask you to come again. Over in the committee rooms of the general assembly the spouts are there, and nobody has cut them off, and all, you have to do is toMurn the spigot and there you have some of the purest sparkling water that any city in the world can boast of?even in the Swiss Alps. Everybody knows that liquor in Columbia has never?except in rare intervals?sold for more than a half dollar a half pint, even by retail. Sometimes they cut the price on that. By the gallon it retails to those who know where to go?and most everybody does?at from five to three dollars a gollon. And yet the legislature of South Carolina, at one fell swoop, spends $549.30 for water?common, ordinary drinking water. The quality could not have been as good as the ordinary water here ?for Columbia has the purest water in the world. Maybe that kind of water mixed better with the various ingredients with which it was desired to mix .it?or maybe >$hat wasj the kind of water that would not mix. Once uppn a time, up in Newberry county, there was a gentleman in the race for the State senate. He was opposing a very able encumbent.. In the heat of -the ^ campaign?for campaigns in Newberry county in the old days were always politically hot?he decided he would go to Glenn Springs for a rest of a day or two. "Colonel," was suggested to him," that water up ther^ is said not to mix with liquor." "What the h??" he is quoted as having replied, "do you think I want to go, any where to drink any water for, anyhow?" It is not suggested that any matter, of this kind may have anything to do with any connection with a South Carolina legislature. It is Intended only to emphasise that the Squth Carolina* legislature, 4n 'thesfc^rfcUodr phohibition days, knows the value of good water, and is willing to pay for it when it sees it. And the facts are also given for the reason that it may be that the city of Columbia may Vant to give a little more advertisement t? the . quality of its own drinking water, lots of which is here pure and undefiled. And maybe somebody may be interested enough to ask the candidates for the legislature next summer If they are willing to have the general appropriation bill?even . two houses?or the expenses incident to both houses?itemised, in order that the individual members may know what they are votipg <m, and that the Governor may know he has -before him when the bill comes down to him for his signature* For, the Governor unless he is going to stop the whole machinery, can deal only with individual items, when it comes to exercising the power of veto, and he can deal only with thein when he knows what the individual items are ?that is, when they appear. Perculiar, But True It's hard to believe, isn't it? That the Pacific end of the Panama Canal is farther east than the Atlantic end ? 1 They Venice, Italy, and Montreal, Canada, are in about the same latitude? That if an express train had started out from the earth for the planet -Neptune at the birth of Chris? and had traveled sixty miles an hour day and night ever since, it would not be half there? ' That the mouth of the Amazon river is as near to Europe as it is to New York? That Texas is as large as 212 Rhode Islands. That, when measured in degrees of longitude, San Francisco is about the middle of the United States, including Alaska? That the entire continent of South America lies farther east that Florlda? j That Glasglow, Scotland, is in the same latitude as Alaska? That if the southern end of Chili, South America, were placed at the southern limit of Florida, it would extend northward entirely across the United States and Canada and half way across Hudson Bay., This list of odd things about the earth was compiled by Professor K. H. WhitJbeck of the geology department of the University of Wisconsin. ?Light and Life Evangel.
