of butter fat was 87.42

Mrs. Kachael I>. Vain has resigned

Kershaw county. Some persons are
in favor of paving the old road us

from a point near the county line
to a point north of Boykin's Mill

east of the head of the mil] pond.
The suggested new route would be

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.

causing great mental
i and physical suffering and rendertrig
the appearance of the plaintiff
lastingly and permanently damaged
and disfigured, she being a woman
and her hair being one of her geatest
assets." and as a result she askec

THIS WEEK
By Arthur Bikbut
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are published
as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle doee not
necessarily endorse all of his
riews and conclusions.
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.
