Outlaw jBethuen Rt. 1 Get More Livestock For The Land's Sake <'lem?on Collage, July 21.~Llvesto< k will help land stand drought and will reduce labor and fertiliser aays Prof. U V. Starkey, chief uf the animal husbandry division. "Recently," says Prof. Starkey, "I took a trip through the Piedmont section of South Carolina and found that the crops were suffering greatly because of a lack of moisture. In one pasture the grass looked parched except in one particular spot. Investigation showed that on this green area a load of barnyard manure was scattered about a year ago. Drought cuts our crops short because we have lobbed the soil of its organic matter. Still another distress call comes from the farms where the labor costs run too high, and labor is not as efficient as it once was. "It therefore seems wise for the South Carolina farmer to find a way to increase the organic matter and ieduce the cost of labor. way of doing this,?not the only way but the method which has proven profttaable in the most prosperous sections of the United States and in foreign countries, is to fence the land, grow feed crops, and let the animals do the harvesting. The corn crop can be harvested by hogs and more profit obtained than if harvested by hand. Soybeans, barley, rye, oats, and alfalfa may all be grazed in the green stage. Furthermore, on land which is too rough for a binder the small grains may be grazed until just before they joint and then grazed down again after maturity. Corn and velvet beans grown together will carry beef cattle until after Christmas. "For the land's sake, let's get more livestock and make our farming more prosperous." I/Oggers Win Rate Fight.

' Flagler's Wife Leaves Fortune New York, July 14.?Mrs.-Ida A. Flagler is dead, leaving a fortune of $12,000,000, accumulated from a $1,000,000 trust fund created for her by the lat^ Henry M. Flagler when he divorced her in 1,901 on the grounds of incurable insanity. She died Saturday of cerebral hemorrhage in her private cottage on the grounds of a sanitarium at Central Valley, N. Y., and was buried yesterday in Cypress Hills cemetery, Brooklyn. She was at the sanitarium when Flakier obtained a divorce in Florida under a special act of the legislature, as the state statutes do not recognize insanity as a cause for divorce. The marriage was in 1883. The turst fund consisted largely of Standard Oil security, dividends from which multiplied the original sum twelve-fold. Flagler was one of the founders of 'Standard Oil. The principal heirs are two nephews, George W. Taylor and William W. Taylor, and a grand-niece, Ruth E. Taylor, of Pasvo, Wash. Flagler, who in addition to his oil interests, was the builder and owner of the Florida East Coast railway, married again. After his death in 1913 his widow married Robert W. Bingham, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times. She has since died. One of a trio of bank bandits was killed and a special policeman was seriously wounded when an attempt was made to hold up a bank messenger at Canton, Ohio, Wednesday. The policeman shot one of the bandits dead. Would You Know One If You Saw It? If you ever came face to face with a germ, would you recognize it? Of course it is not likely tnat you ever will see a germ, unless you own a tremendously powerful microscope, for you would have to magnify one over a thousand times to make it as big as a pin head. But you should recognize the fact that these tiny germs can get into your blood ' streams through the. smallest cut. and give you typhoid fever, tubercu, losis, lockjaw, blood poisoning, and , many mure dangerous and perhaps 1 fatal diseases. There is one sure - safeguard against these dangers? s washing, every cut, no matter how , small, thoroughly with Liquid Borozone, the safe antiseptic.

S. ltarron instruction company and the chain gang which was working near Riverside has been moved to a central point on this road as an agreement has been entered into by the construction company and the county board for the use of county prisoners. Kighty working days are provided for the grading of this road according to the contract and the paving contract for this highway will be let the first part of August as bjds will be revived the latter part of this month. It is believed that the paving will be completed early in 1031. While the new road is being graded the old road can 'be used from Lancaster to Pleasant Hill utul from Pleasant Hill to Kershaw county roads will bo follower!. The detour /rom ,Pleasant Hill to Kershaw will be via Wener road, the Reeves road and the Kershaw-Fork Hill road. These roads are now being top soiled. In leaving Lancaster the new highway which is being graded will leave the old road by the Gooch Filling station and cut across the Kiwanis field about eight or ten feet inside the fence of the grounds. At the Belk Filling station it again crosses the old road and goes to the right of the present road to the underpass. Here is crosses the old road again and follows to the left to Pleasant ' Hill. From Pleasant Hill to Heath Springs the route is -practically the same as at present. Leaving Heath Springs the newroad will cross the, railroad tracks at a point further to the right than the present crossing and will strike the old road at Kershaw cotton mill. Ill order to straighten out the two right angle curves which are nowmade in approaching Kershaw, a building will be removed in Kershaw and the road will go straight into the business section of the town. At Pleasant Hill it will be necessary to remove a small school house ?Lancaster News. A Washington postal clerk found a wallet containing $600,000 in checks in a cafe Wednesday.
