around for 20 minute* without lighting,
and when one does happen to
light?he will choose the jelly, or the
fc>wl of gravy, or the milk pitcher,
or the sugar dish?to laud on, and he
knows that you can't afford to swat
him while he is so lit.
So far as anybody has ever been
able to determine, a fly is absolutely
Useless except for spider food, and
who in the thunder cares whether a
spider gets any food or not. Therefore,
my advice to you and yours is
??swat him today bo's he won't be a
grandaddy tomorrow.

Calcium Arsenate
Poisons Negroes
tBpring HiU, June 29.?A family of
Negroes by the name of Murray,
living on J. R. Kirkley's place in tho
Spring Hi)) section of Lee county,
were poisoned Saturday by eating
bread that was made of calcium arsenate
and corn meal. The daughter,
supposing the poiaon to be hour,
made the biscuits,' which she, also
a sister and a brother and two nieces
under three years old ate and werv
taken dangerously ill.
Hut for the skill of the local doctor
and the timely assistance of the
White people of the community, these
Negroes would have all died Saturday
night.
Monday they were better and Tuesday
three of them were able to take
nourishment other than sweet milk.
Two of them, however, are still suffering
greatly with the scalded condition
of their digestive organs. The
poison has affected their hearts and
they may never recover entirely.

Livestock Train
Makes Big Hit
Clemaon College, July 27,?With
lover 12,000 people visiting the livestock
trait* during its first week out
and interest increasing wherever it
goes, there is every assurance that
| this cow-hog-hen promotion enterprise,
u joint undertaking of the Extension
Service of Clemson College
and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
Company, is proving a decided sue-!
cess and will result in much good toward
diversification through livestock.
This traveling exhibit Hnd demonstration
of the best in animals, methods
of feeding and handling is meeting
a real need, the reports show.
varmers are getting direct practical
information presented in striking and
interesting form. One Horry county
farmer said that he got all his questions
answered for the lirst time, anj{
a Florence county farmer said he was
there to get complete ideas to follow
up what he had learned as a hogfeeding
demonstrator.
Features that are attracting widest
attention are the models of good
and poor laying houses, good and
poor layers, cow judging and hog
feeding, scrub ewe and her improved
lamb, comparative wool clip from
scrub and purebred lambs.
The cattle, shetp, hogs and poultry
used in the exhibit cars are standing
the trip well, and the dairy cows and
hens are doing "business as usual"
in producing milk and eggs despite
unfavorable conditions.
After completing the tour through
the Pee" Dee Section the train moves
into Charleston and thence up the
western side of the state on the following
schedule of morning and attgrnoon
dates: June 30, Moncks Corner,
Charleston; July 2, Meggetts,
Waltenboro; July 3, Ridgcland, Beaufort;
July 4, Hampton, Allendale;
July 6, Ellenton, Barnwell; July 6,
Denmark, Orangeburg.

I Negro Hero of
World War Dies
Sumter, June 28.- Jake Crant, negro,
buried here Monday, following
one of the largest negro funerals
ever held in the city, was ojje of two
negroes from Sumter who won citations
from Gen. John J. Pershing for
bravery. Grant was also awarded a
Croix do Guerre by the French government
for an exploit in whieh he
and Anthony Ballard, another negro
from Sumter, were the principals.
The act for which the citation was
given by Pershing occurred when the
advance of American troops was held
up by fire from a dugout and occurred
in operations about the Triers
Farm on September 30, 1918. Grant,
a corporal, and Ballard, a sergeant,
in the 871st infantry, crawled up
through thick brush to within a few
yards of the dugout and threw hand
grenades in it. After silencing the
gunners they entered the dugout and
captured several prisoners, including
a German officer.
Grant was afterwards wounded in
the head by shaphel and was a ward
of the government, hpending practically
all of hie time in hospitals,
after his return from France. He
died Monday, June 18, in a government
hospital in Washington and his
body was sent here, where his wife
lived, and he had lived prior to the
war.
