Mary McFadden, 6-year-old daughter of the ( larendon county farmer, and his nephew, Charles Light, of High Point, N 3, were burned almost beyond recognition when the barn in which they were playing burned to the ground shortly after midday. The children were playing near the door of the barn and built a small fire 'there, The flames spread rapidly and prevented their escape through the j door. Becoming frightened they ran to the hack of the structure and be-j gan (ailing for help. Mrs. Light was, the <ndy person near by at the time and she run from the house and tried to make an opening in the back of the barn with an axe, hut strength failed her, however, and she was forced to stand by while her son and his companion burned to death. Mr. McTadden's loss by the flames was set at $4,000 with no insurance. In addition to the bard, two automobiles, a number of farm implements and a quantity of feedstuff were destroyed. A doctor says insane people are happier than those who are sane. Which may account for some of the hilarity we have observed.?Florence j (Ala.) Herald. KlUJi 1 J LI., I, i. Mi- I- ,--1-? T~-rr=s= How Chester County Promotes Dairying _ v.k> Cheater, May 2J.?The people of Cheater county have always been lover# of livestock and there wan a time when raising horses, mules, cattle and sheep was an important and interesting phase of the county's country life. In later days King Cotton held too absolute sway, but within the present decade one phase of the livestock industry dairying?has come into a strong position. A half dozen things are worthy of notice a> promoting this movement. 1. Starting 10 years ago with its iJ/st carload of purebred dairy cajtle imported, Chester county is I now such a center of high class Guernsey blood that in 1027 Chester dairy farmers were able to sell, with not too great depletion of herds, about $100,000 worth of good grade cows and $#>.000 worth of tiptop purebred?. 2. Three years ago all forces? |county farm agent, chamber of comI merce bankers, newspapers, farmers ?uniting on a purebred sire campaign, rid the county of scrub dairy sires and brought in many purebred Guernsey bulls, and this big successful piece of work has done mucn to hasten the rise of the county as a high class Guernsey center. 3. The Community Creamery, at Chester, with 00 percent of its patrons from the home county, distributes 100 to 175 cream checks per week, totaling $350 to $500 per week, and mukes and sells over 2,000 pounds of butter. Its list of patrons grows beautifully larger with each passing month. 1. The Chester Milk Company, buyer and retailer of whole milk, handling chiefly the product of four big Guernsey herds, supplies 00 percent of the milk used by the 8,000 people in the city of Chester. Chester city pridefully boasts using milk from purebred Guernseys exclusively. 5. A 4-H calf club, enrolling yearly many wide-awake farm youngsters from all parts of the county, helps to put new purebred heifers <>:; many farms and new ideas into the minds of many dads, but. best of all. helps to train future dairymind farmers. 0. In the county are now about :5o farmers keeping a few to 12 or C> dairy cows as a side-line to their general farming, and a limited numior of commercial dairymen with considerate larger herds. Many more would now buy cows, say those f am ill a r with local conditions, ;f they had money to make the start. Africa's Highest Peak There is a mountain in Africa only about three degrees south of the equator which wears a perpetual cap of snow. This is Mt. Kilimanjara, a peak of 20,000 feet in what was formerly German East Africa. So strange was the story of this phenomenon, a mountain "lifting its alien snows to heaven from, the heart of the tropical fervors," as Bayard Taylor expressed it, that for long years it was doubted, in spite of the fact that it \\h< first reported-by a' missionary. But in 1801 a German explorer and scientists, Kail von der IK'cken, confirmed the report. After that several expeditions were sent to study the mountain, and many efforts were made to climb it. The snow l.ne is reached at 14,000 fee*, and there most of the climbers stoppod. But 40 years after its discover*/ it was conquered, by two Germans. Since then it has been climbed several times, this year even by nn .English woman. This, the highest mountain in Africa, is now in the British Tani ganyika district. Judge John Raulston, who presided at the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tenn., will be a Republican candidate for Gov.-rnor in the State primary in August. Three soil experts from British South Africa visited Gaston county farms to study crop rotation, cotton raising and cotton manufacturing under the guidance of members of the state college.

Loan & Savings Bank I CAPITAL $100,000.00 I Years of Service Model T Fords | Expenditure of few dollars may I I enable you to get thousands of miles I i from your old car i s THE Model T Ford is still a great car* It led the motor ! industry for twenty years and it is used today by more people S j than any other automobile. More than eight million Model j T Fords are in active service in city, town and country, and j | many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and | II even longer at very small up-keep expense. J The cost of Model T parts and of necessary labor is : unusually low because of established Ford policies. ! New fenders, for instance, cost from??3.50 to ?5 each, with a labor charge of $1 to $2.50. Tuning up the motor I | and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points I costs only $ 1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes | can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor j charge of only $1.25. A labor charge of $4 to $5 will cover : the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring | perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. ; The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle i runs from $5.75 to $7. Grinding valves and cleaning carbon ! | can be done for $3 to $4. j A set of four new pistons costs only ?7. For a labor charge ii I of $20 to $2 5 you can have your motor and transmission j ! completely overhauled. Parts are extra. All of these prices arc approximate, of course, because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each j car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model | T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of re-conditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance, exactly how much the complete job will cost.
