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.

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.

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

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

,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,

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.

Hy John K. 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.
