I haven't seen a cloud in 5 days. The moon looks 'like it's hot too. ttvery weather report reads: "Fair and warmer today and tomorrow." A pair of doodles who usually work in a flower pot at home suffered a sunstroke when they came .0 get a fresh breath of air about noon. Uncle Joe says he caught a broiled ftsh yesterday and all he had, to doi was to sprinkle some salt on it and ask the blessing. He saw several bull frogs with their skin warped from the heat, but the majority of them were too weak to hop and were crawling about like terrapins. He insisted that Aunt Minervy's little poodle \fras scratching a bole in the ground near | the porch just before supper last night and he sweated so much t&at the hole became full of water and the poor little doggie fell into the hole and got drown-ded. I want it to rain. I will never grumble any more about rain. If it ever gets cold again, I will be thankful for cold weather. Zero and below would be welcortie companions, and even the farm relief board would appreciate their help. I simply can't stand it. I weigh 7 .pounds less now. than I did when I started this article. I now find that I like warm weather in December. My mouth is so dry I can't sneeze, so good-bye, friends? till it gets cooler. * Wilson's Home Open to Public. Columbia.?The boyhood home of Woodrow Wilson, at Hampton and Henderson streets, within sight of the grounds of the Presbyterian seminary where Wilson's father was a professor 60 years ago, has been opened to the public since July 1, according to A.

O., has again complied with County Agent Henry D. Green's request and will send an agricultural economist to Kershaw county in December or January. Mr. Green is planning to have 14 meetings over the county in order to bring this most important phase of farm business first hand direct from the government. | Last winter Kershaw county was the only county in the two Carolinaa to receive this work. Eight meetings were held and so much interest was shown that it was determined to try to get the service again this year. i Atlanta, Ga., ,is4he only other place so far listed in Ihe Southeast to ret 1 eeive this service, so Kershaw county farm and business people should feel fortunate. It is believed that as a re-' suit of., last year's economic meetings j and study the people will take still greater interest. This study of agricultural economics is the only way of guaging future farm activities. Federal Court Crier Dies. j Charleston.?-Henry !L. F^rms, negro court crier for the Eastern Sguth Carolina district and attendant to Judge Ernest F. Cochran, died in the Charleston office of Judge Cochran Friday morning of apoplexy.

About eighty-three per cent, of all cases occur betweeu the ages of two and five, inclusive, and it seems a pity for auch to be the situation for tne child who has successfully passed all the hazards of infancy. In the light of our present knowledge of , prevention against diptheria, there is scarcely any excuse for the disease to be so prevalent as it is now. The chief responsibility rests with the parent or guardian of the young, since it is their holden duty to consult their physician and secure the toxin-aiitltoxin. Fortunately these inoculations do not cause any reaction, neither local nor general, and are almost painless. In view of the fact that it takes from five to six months for immunity to occur, NOfW is the pro|?er time to I get the treatment for protection du-! ring the winter months when dipthe- 1 ria is most prevalent. See to it that ! your child is protected by this simple method. A. W. Humphries. More Oil Found jit Gaston. Columbia.??W, I. Jumper, the Gaston filling station man and farmer, whose 20-fq9t well and its contents | of gasoline and water has mystified the countryside for several months, is convinced that he has oil on his property. He has just completed four borings on land adjacent to the well and has found oil in each hole at about the same depth. He has, so far, refused financial offers, for the pur-1 chase of his land or for the formation j of companies, but is now considering the offer of several business men. o, I ? Governor Sends Men To Berkeley. | Columbia?The- demoralization that followed the assassination on the streets of Monck's Corner of Senator E-. J.
