"Cotton lAcreage |Cut,
The cotton acreage in cultivation in
South Carolina as of July 1 is 07
per cent of last year, according to a
report given out yesterday by Frank
(). Black, agricultural statistician, of
the United States department of agriculture.
The acreage in the Piedmont is
' about the same as last year but in
-the territory northwestward from Columbia
and extending towards Chesterfield
and Kcrwhaw counties there
has been a reduction.
Repentant I>em?crats
Many good Baptist ami Methodist
Democrats south of the Smith & Wesson
line voted against A1 Smith to
keep the Pope out of the White House
but having betrayed their party into
the hands of the enemy they were
ashamed and looked about for some
one to blumo for their sins. In North
Carolina they blamed Senator Simmons,
He had delivered Uhem to
Hoover. If they had remained in the
camp of the iPhilistines, they would
have voted again as Simmons directed.
But their hearts were broken
and contrite, and they came back to J
the home of their fathers?first being
careful to build a hot fire and
sacrifice the Senator to appease their
gods. It has happened elsewhere in
Dixie, und will happen.?Ft. Inn Tribune.

Hand a goid medal to Charles
Smith, a colored gentleman of Rocky
Mount, who owns an automobile,
gives hitch-hikers an occasional lift
and knows how bo handle them. He
was driving along in his auto, happier
than an artte-beHum negro on
mule-back, when he picked up a white
roan who Asked for a ride. Shortly
thereafter there was sorrowful evidence
of a fiat tire and the white
man indicated a desire to help, at the
same time picking up a "monkeywrench,"
quite a handy article for
the purpose he had in mind. But he
made the mistake of hitting Charles
on the head, instead of on the shin.
Immediately on feeling something
tap him on the skull, the negro turned
on his assailant, shook him into
submission, made him rcpTfir the tire,
then carried him to Rocky Mount
and turned him over to prison officers.
The roadside hand-wavers
throughout Charles Smith's bailiwick,
learning of his reputation, may develop
as much caution in identity of
the man they hail, as the average
motor driver takes of the man he
picks up.?Charlotte Observer.

Hitch-hiking has become so much

Western Republican leaders in
Washington are reported as being

possibilities for further splits in the

of which are for the dry amendment.

Objected to Knitting
in London Co. Council
Knitting needles may not click an
accompaniment to the debates In the
Condon county council.
Tills unwritten law was laid down
with emphasis by an Irate masculine
objector when Dame Beatrice Lynll,
member for Mast (fulhum, produced a
pair during an ntl-nlght session and
proceeded to click off interminable
hours of debate with as many Inches
of warm woqlen sock. '
No woman has yet had the hardihood
to produce knitting needles In
the house of commons, but In the
past men M. P.'a have done so.
The most famous knitter In parliamentary
annals was one of the Wason
brothers, who were well known to a
former generation at Westminster.
They were such big men that they
were prominent figures wherever they
appeared, and the spectacle of one of
them, a man six feet tall and proportionately
hefty, plying Ids -knitting
needles throughout debates In the
bouse must have been Incongruous.
Ills fellow M. P.'s apparently thought
nothing of It, however, for there are
no chronicled objections in parliamentary
archives.
Black Ants Valuable
to -Worry Coco Louse
-Without Black Ants So Coco"
rends a sign posted at the entrance
of a great plantation In central Java.
It does not go unheeded, for the natives
hand In some four million nests
of these little creatures every year,
nnd receive payment In return. These
black ants live only upon trees Infested
by the white coco louse.
Neither the louse nor the ants Injure
the trees. The real enemy Is a
certain beetle whose name Is Ilelopeltls,
which also attacks the toa plant.
It has been found that when the black
ants are present the Helopeltls falls
to Injure the trees. Apparently this
sapssucking pest Is disturbed by the
activity of the ants, for the latter do
not attack the beetle.
This Is why the black ants are protected.
Food Is provided for them by
picking the white coco lice from the
shells of the fruit, where they congregate,
and placing them on the coco
trees to attract the ants and disturb
the beetles.

Figures Are Valuable /
Only When Accurate
Statistics are like knives; they can
be used for good or evil, observes I>r,
Thurmun B. Hlee In Hygela. The commonest
sentence heard In tdebutes
usually begins: "Statistics prove
thcit?" But Doctor Rice warns thut
statistics prove nothing except when
they have been accurately collected,
compiled, Interpreted and applied.

fiRktt&U..project ? given set of figures

The Rapacious Pile*
The pike's reputation for cruelty
and voraciousness la such that It has
been popularly dubbed the "water
wolf." It Is probable, however, that
many species of sea fish are equally.
If not a great deal more, rapacious.
Large dogfish, congers, pollack, cod
and bass are especially ferocious,
while halibut will very often sePra.
and kill other large fish. An En&1$h
angler was "playing" a large congek*
when a huge halibut swam up to and
savagely bit at It?a proceeding that
cost the halibut Its life, for on It making
for the foundered conger a second
time the boatman contrived to gaff
and haul It aboard.
There have been many examples of
pike., being found dead, choked hy
their own species, and these fish not
infrequently attack another pike that

Big Berths
"Big Bertha" had u tiring distance
of 7.r> miles. The principle on which
this long-distance gun was operated
Is thnt if a shell is fired upward at
an nngle of degrees to the horizontal,
and at a high velocity, so that
the shell will rise above f"he dense atmosphere
close to the earth's surface
and rapidly reach the thin air which
exists at a height of ten miles above
the earth, then its flight will be practically
unimpeded and It will travel a
great distance before It falls again.
During Its flight from the "Big Bertha"
the German shell rose to a height
of 24 miles, and traveled more than
JVO ndles of Its course In a very thin
atmosphere.

Milk Protects
Against Disease
No mat/ter where one reads today
about health and strength, one is
almost certain to find milk in the
foreground as one of man's beet
foods. The farmer, while he seems
to understand the tremendous value,
of both milk and butter for the city
family, has failed to make full use
of this product for his own family. .
By a generous use of whole milk,
cream and real cow butter, a farmer
could not only help the health and
vigor of his family, but at the same
time consume a very troublesome
surplus and thus boost the price of
dairy products.
Below your county agent is reproducing
a short editorial from a lataj
issue of the Southern .Agriculturist,
which says this same thing in a most
, vigorous manner.
"Dr. Price, a scientist, is reported
as saying that spring butter from
milk of cows grazing in the sunshine,
contains the vitamin '1)' and this is
the vitamin that 'prevents diseases
called degenerative, such as cancer,
heart disease, influenza and pneu'
monia.'
'The theory is that the sun stores
up the vitamin in the grass in the
spring and the cows convert it into
milk.
"We are very slow to learn the
marvelous food value of milk. ^Vhole
milk contains practically everything
that the# human body needs for its
sustenance, and now it is foUnd that
it protects us against the most deadly
diseases known.
"Milk is the most delicious food
known, as well as the most wholesome.
'Millions of city people are
denied the adequate use of this marvelous
siift of Nature on account of
the cost. But every Southern farmer
may have rich milk in abundance
for his family, and this is a priceless
privilege that belongs to life in the
country. But strange to say, many
farmers refuse to use Nature's great
remedies, and live on husks, and
spend their earnings for drug concoctions
that curse rather than cure."
Kershaw county people in general
need milk very badly. Children are
1 only men and women in the making.
Develop n strong child in order to
have a strong adult. "We need two
good milk cows on every Kershaw:
county farm. Grown up people need
: milk and butter as well as children
I do.
Your county health officers are
working so very hard to help our
people to have good health. Ask
them if milk will help solve the big
| problem which we face today with
about one thousand cases of pellagra
in Kershaw county?pellagra, a disJ
ease due to lack of proper foods.
I vet's have more cows, more milk
i and butter, more gardens (all-year
: gardens)and more vegetables. It s
good business, folks, to have these
| things and it also helps us to have
! good health. May I suggest that
you talk the matter of health over
with your County Health officers and
then let your home agent and farm
agent help you to have good gardens,
cows, chickens and pigs?as
well as King Cotton, is the advice of
Henry D. Green, County Agent.
You cannot farm well if you do
not have good health.

his friend. "You remember my
telling you about that fellow I engaged
to trace my ancestors?"
"Yes," nodded the other. "What's
wrong? Hasn't he been successful?"
"Successful!" echoed the other,
with a gasp of dismay. "I should say
he has. Listen, man?I am having
to pay him hush-money."
