Some persons are in favor of paving the old road us it stands while others advocate the eons'ruction of an entirely new road from a point near the county line to a point north of Boykin's Mill Fond, the proposed new route being east of the head of the mil] pond. The suggested new route would be shorter than the old road and almost an air line between points, bl^Awould leave several plantation horhtfit on a neighborhood road. instead of a main highway.?-Sumter Item. It is a source of genuine satisfaction for this paper to be able to announce that Former Judge Mendei 1..

William G. McAdoo, one of the leading candidates for the Democrat it- presidential nomination in 1924, has informed his friends through a letter written to George F. Milton, yOblisher of the Chattanooga (Term ) News, that he will not be a candidate before the 1928 convention. Declaring that his "chief concern was the "supremacy of Democrati^ principles and progressive policies, Mr. McAdoo said that | perhaps I can do more to advance these object* as a private citizen than as a candidate for the presidency." "I prefer to stand aside," he added, "in order that the field may be left *lear, so far as 1 can clear it, for the development of a leadership that can more effectively gain these ends. I shall not, therefore, be a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1 J2b. in his letter Mr. McAdoo recalled the Madison Square Garden convention of three years ago, at which, on 91 ballots, he had led the field of candidates, declaring that "if the Democratic situation should again develop in such a way as to | cause a repetition of the inconclusive and disastrous fight in the New York convention of 1924, it would be calamitous and the party would be reduced again to impotence in a presidential contest." Predicts Par ly Frost A light frost between September 17 and 24 an unusually early date for frost in this section, haH been predicted by the "Dutch Weather Prophet of Columbia. The weather prognosticate^ well known to South Carolinians, said, while discussing the coming winter, that this first frost would be followed a month later, between October 17 and 25, by heavy and possibly a killing frost, but that the killing frost might not come until November 15. The winter, he *-uid, will Ix* more severe than last year's with much more cold weather. In speaking of the light frost predicted for lute this month, the prophet said that a,similar cold period would follow a month later, almost to the day, and this in turn would be followed by a third at the same time in November. I hree Killed By Lightning Albany.

Now i* the time to pick your candidate, with President Goolidge "not choosing," which means that he does not intend to be a candidate. Hoover, Mellon, Hughes, Lowden >i a dark horse, who will it be ? I Charles Evans Hughes is back from Europe, with "nothing to say to reporters," a dangerous sign with a national convention near. Mr. Hughes never said, "I am too old to be President," that would be preposterous, from one of the most hard working men in public life. He did say, "I am too old to run for President." Secretary Mellon is back from Europe, also "with nothing to say to reporters." Secretary Mellon was walking up Park avenue in New York City last week, looking about half his afce and going at a rate that would have taken him from his desk in the Treasury building to the front <Joor of the White House in considerably less than a minute and a half. The Smithsonian Institution will have a weather station in southwest Africa. There, high up in the air, in the dry, clear atmosphere, ?cience will study the sun, calculate solar radiation, and if hopes are realized, predict weather as much as a week or a month, and even one year, in advance. It has taken men a long while t" find what happens to them depends largely on the big star that ' ght< their short lives. A gentleman, occasionally posing as a nobleman, was arrested recently accused of marrying fifty women and getting a million dollars in money and jewelery from them. There is nothing to be said about that except that it is in the nature of a woman to trust men, unfortunately for women. "Curls are coming back," says a professor of physiology, even "puff girls" and the "shingle" will pass. Common sense is with the bob. Romance with the puffed curl. You could not imagine Martha Washington with a bob. No great thing is achieved without sacrifice. Those distressed by loss of life in flying may remember that the total number of deaths in t raiis-A t lant ic flying is smaller than the number killed automobiling on any f:no Sunday. The thing is to keep on and conquer. C. \. Miller, of Toronto, left brewery stock to seven Methodist ministers and Ontario Jockey Club shares to opponents of rac^ track gambling. At the end of nine years, the proceeds of his estate go to the parents of the largest family born in the province during that time. Methodist ministers, to get the $75,000 brewery stock, must draw the dividends and vote on the company's management "to see whether their avarice for money was greater than their principles.' The ministers, of course, will do what is necessary to collect the rtioney, and use it for prohibition propaganda, thus thwarting Satan. "Leaving your-money to the biggest family is dull. The mouse would befct any human b<?ing, the shad wpuld beat a mouse, and the female oyster, with her millions of youngsters each year would make the shad lo<*k like birth control. Leaving money to poor parents that take the best care of their children might be a good idea. But money left for benevolent purposes?excepting science and education?is usually wasted. The work you do while you lise counts; there's no knowing what your money may do after you.
