Tho man who owoe mo 14 dollars
for groceries that were consumed in
19 and 64 offered a reward of 25
dollars for the return of "one lost,
strayed or stolen hound dog with
spot on left side and tail bobbed at
one end which answers to the name
of Bess." If I had known that he
thought that much of a hound, he
would have paid cash for my stuff.
The reason lots of folks don't pay
their honest debts is?they wouldn't
have anything left with which to buy
gas and go to the talkies.

The government of the Baleric Islands
has decreed that men and
women shall not go in bathing together

than has all other agencies, safety

Times have changed since the 5dollar-a-week

*"d if the farmer expects bankers,
manufacturers and others to improve
he farmer's condition, he is doomed
to disappointment, said Louis J. Taof
the National Grange,
speaking at Farmers' Week. Those
Present voted to invite the National
Grange into South Carolina to discuss
the plans and purpose* of the
organization looking to a state organization
here.
J* M. Napier, Darlington farm
agent, supported by D. R. Coker,
Hartsville, showed by convincing
<1?U the effectiveness of sweetened
poison for pre-squure poisoning of
the boll weevil. Mr. Coker and the
Experiment Station advocate dusting
for later poisoning, despite a tendency
sometimes to plant lice following
several dustings.
H. R. lolley, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, talked twice on "What
Makes the Price of Cotton," showing
that supply, demund, business conditions
are main factors. Farmers must
study these at planting time and at
marketing. R. J. Cheatham, cotton
technologist, U. S. I). A., told how
demand is being increased for cotton
by finding new uses and extending'
old uses.
In a talk on sheep production Richard
Miller, Kentucky Sheep Breeders
Association, convinced his hearers
that South Carolina has as fine conditions
for sheep as Kentucky, where
sheep mean millions in money.
Crowds at all livestock gatherings
pioved that farmerd are becoming
more livestock-minded.
The cotton dress review Thursday
showed dresses costing twenty cents
to five dollars as attractive as pictures.

Grain Crop Can Be Made Profitable.
Clemson College, August 12. Wo
fail to recognize the value of oats as
a feed crop, said T. B. Hutcheson, I
head of the agronomy department,1
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, in discussing
Making The Grain Crop Profitable.
Following this address, S. M. Byars,
county agent, of Anderson county, led
a discussion in which he confirmed
Mr.-Hutcheson's statements and applied
them to South Carolina conditions.
He gave specific information regarding
oats, barley, and rye gathered
from his work in Anderson county.
Mr. Byars said oats are of great
importance to South Carolina farmers,
and should be planted the last of
September or the first of October. A
topdressing of nitrate of soda or a
similar fertilizer is essential.
Barley should be sown about October
15, at the rate of ten bushels per
acre, continued Mr. Byars. It requires
better land than oats. Soil producing
120 to 25 bushels of corn per acre will
produce approximately the. same
amount of barley. Seed should always
be treated for smut, as barle y jo yav>y |
susceptible to this disease.
Barley makes excellent hay and
stock like it, but many "people"allow
it to get too ripe. It should be cut
just after the bloom stage. If barley
grain is fed, best results are obtained
if it is cracked.
Mr. Byars advised the planting of
rye at the rate of three gallons per
acre. It does best on a light sandy
loam soil with a stiff clay subsoil.

Buren, ?5, white prisoner, to break
The con.,,.. 0f Buren's nerve after
. '?g the blow and his retreat
tpward his ceil instead of following
, . J vantage, coupled with the quick
locking of the corridor door by Deputy
.Sheriff Quinn, prevented the escape
of Buren Mlld hjs a?e|wd con
lederate in the plot, John McGregory.
^Thc attack was made while the dep.
Y *h(?nff ill company with his wife,
was serving the prisoners' breakfast!
By.the ruse of asking for his morning
newspaper, Buren got MfS ^
away for a few momenta and then
when he advanced to get his food he
suddenly dealt the officer a heavy
Wow with the iron rod that he had
concealed about him.
| "I thought I had killed him," was
!? way Buren accounted for the
I "re of his nerve in not following
up the attack.
| Buren was supposed to be the only
prisoner outside his cell when Deputy
SherifF ^mnn opened the corridor
door leading to the cell block, but it
(transpired that McGregory was not in
his usual cell but had contrived to get
into another cell that was unlocked
and was ready to come to Buren's assistance.
McGregory told officers today that
titeir plan was to make tho attack
hist night and that his part was to
hold the officer while Buren hit him.
.,But my nerve failed me," he explained.
^ Buren and McGregory, both about
25, are jointly charged with the theft
of an automobile in Rock Hill. Buren
is from the north, while McGregory
is-said to be an escaped convict from
Greenville. Deputy Sheriff Quinn suffered
a cut in the head that required
several stitches *o dose. A headache
resulting from the blow caused him to
go to bed for the remainder of the
day.
Wild Horse Industry Thrives.
The tops of your shoes, your soap
and the feed for your chickens may
have had their origin in wild horses
rooming the deserts and plateaus of
the Far West. For an industry which
captures, kills and markets thousands
of wild horses annually for these products
has grown up in Montana,
jldaho, Nevada, Utah, California and
Oregon.
Round-up parties go out in search
of the herds, which are usually found
in the early morning around water
.holes. The riders form a circle and
(close in on the animals, driving them
to a corral. The tallow is sen# to soap
! factories, the hides mnde into leather,
(the meat converted into chicken feed
and the bones are used in ipaking fertilizer.
The value of each horse is
determined by the quality of its hide.
They bring from $2 to $5 apiece.
-Wild horses are just as wild as
deer, and they can detect the presence
of h man at great distances. They are;
so speedy that riders have to change
saddle ponies every other day during
round-ups. Cattle and sheep owners
say they are glad to have the wild
horses killed, because they eat twice
as muoh as a cow and six times as
much as a sheep. They can withstand
severe weather and if necessary they
are able to go without food or water
for a long time.
One Killed; Ten Hurt.
Chester, August 8.?Mrs. Sumter
Thomas, about 75, of Richburg, this

The Perils of The Desert.
California in ail its parts is good at
advertising attractions and advantages.
California, meaning the southern
section, tells motor parties how
easy it is to roach the land of oranges
and cinema factories. It does not consider
it worthwhile to warn travelers
by southern routes of the perils of
motoring through desert areas. ,
| The New York Times is bound to
arouse enmity of Los Angeles and
San Diego by the following:
"To the thousands who have moI
tored through the deserts of Southern
California on the transcontinental
highways it will come as a shock to
read of the family that had a breakdown
on an unfrequented road north i
of Blythe, and pvrished of thirst. |
"By a strange paradox this danger |
may be said to be greater today than
in the times of the overland immi-,
grant trains and of the early pros-1
pectors. The reason is that the early
desert-farers knew well what to expect.
Word was passed back to the
fringe of settlements of the horrors
[of the Southern desert, and the necessity
of knowing where water was to
be found. Death Valley earned its
name because of the failure of a party
of strangers to take- proper precau- j
tions. Further south, in the days of
the Spaniards, a part of the trail to
California from Texas was known as
the Mornado del Muerto'?the march
of death.
"Those who took these trails knew
what to do. Today many who race '
through by motor are as helpless us
little children if they get off the main
road and have engine trouble. This
was obviously the fate of the lost
family. But it will be a grim reminder
to those who pass through the
loss-frequented roads in the desert
country that it is well to carry not
only tools and extra gas and oil, but
plenty of water. This is especially
true when making the journey in
summer, for the heut, whether in
Yuma, Ariz., or in the Imperial Valley
of California, or in Death Valley
itself, is relentless and cruel."?News
and Courier.

at the summer home of Sydney
Hutchinson, Beteri,, Mass., Saturday.
The loot included a $100,000 diamond
necklace, the property of Mrs. Hutchinson.
