tirty your hands, it's the best for

Each Day Will See
New Features
Columbia, Sept. 80 Each day at
the 1030 State Fair, which will be
held October 20-25, has been given
a definite purpose, M|M1 the whole
program arranged to emphasize the
greut purpose of the week?in ad-1
vancement of South Carolina. To
that end, great care has been given
to the educational, entertainment and
social sides, that a well-rounded program
might be offered to the thousands
of visitors. ' For months, in
fact, ever since the last fair closed, i
the officials have been busy and a
month ahead of the dates practically
every detail is arranged.f
South Carolina's agriculture, livestock,
poultry, dairying, marketing
and kindred things; its natural resources,
particularly the iodine properties
of the state's vegetables, fruit
and grain; its industrial progress;
its manufacturing; its colleges; its
progress and its needs along all lines
of development have been given their
places, in the great pargmima that
will pass before the visitor's eyes.
The Clemjion-Carolina game is the
top spot in the entertainment, but
far from the only feature of that
kind, there being a galaxy of star
events to please and amuse. And,
as usual, the Fair Gorunds will be
the main cross-roads of South Carolina,
where old friends are seen and
the new friends made?the great annual
meeting place of Palmetto State.
Opening day. sees the start. Then
comes Iodine Day on Tuesday, apd
Agricultural Day on Wednesday. Big
Thursday is South Carolina Day, anJ
Friday is School Day, when thousands
of children will come to the
Fair to see, learn and have a good
time. Saturday is closing day.

Barn Burned
Tuesday about 12:00 to 12:30 the
barn at the home of Mrs. Roland
Hearon was burned together with
about five bales of 4eed cotton, cottonseed,
a mule and farm implements.
There was no insurance on
the property The' ckuse ~of the fire
is not known. The Bishopville fire
department responded but as it was
beyond the water limit, being out of
the corporate limits, little good could
be done.?'Bishopville Messenger.
OKLAHOMA FROG 8TORY
Three Toads Taken AliVe From
Indian Mound
Oklahoma City, OklA., Sept. 30.?
Three toads taken alive from an Indian
mound in northwestern Oklahoma
where scientists said they probably
had been imprisoned for t)iree
or djour centuries, were on display
here today at the State Historical
Society museum.
J. B. Thoburn, curator of the hisanjphibians
depended largely \jpon
the origin of the mount. If the elevation
was made by hand, he said,
it is probable the toads were imprisoned
300 or 400 years; if it was
of natural origin, the age of the
toads might be even greater.
Thoburn and two other archaeologists
made the discovery while excavating
the mound, believed to be
the ruins of an imitation pueblo. The
toads were dormant ^ith lips and
eyes sealed, Thoburn said, but within
a few moments after being liberated,
hopped about with agility, their lips
and eyes opened.
Each in a small pit about three
or four feet below the surface of
the ground with no means of egresi
or ingress. Above them but still
some distance below the surface was
the remains of a sunken fire pit of
a lodge believed to have belonged to
a band of Commanche or Kiowa Indians
who until approximately 50
years ago roamed the plains of this
section. The curator pointed to this
fact as proof that the toads had lived
in their dormant positions for centuries.
The discovery was made two miles
northeast of Gate. The hardened
earth, caused by a long drought, precluded
further excavation, Thoburn
said, and mechanical equipment will
be needed to carry on the work.
The toads probably will be turned
over to biologists of the University
of Oklahoma for observation, Thoburn
said.

McGee, Copyright, 1928.
' Sweetheert, Take This letter"
I hired a stenographer once. ThU
ih how she wrote my first letter;
l>ear Sir: We are sorry that we
t??nn ot use a car ofcorn at this*'' ;
as our t>een is fill ed to capaccity,
but when weget in the mark et again:
we will get your prises." She
used the touch system?touched me
foi 20 a week?for 3 weeks. (That
was 7 years ago.)
*' M 1 I Li"Of
course good spelling and good
grammar help a stenographer to get
a good job, but good looks are a
great aid to holding that job and
getting an increase in salary every
how and then. 1 knew a stenographer
once ,who did not chew gum,
and I have heard of one that did not
use paint on anything except furniture
and flower pots,
I have never been able to successfully
dictate a letter to u pretty
girl: I can't keep my mind on the
letter. I don't like to try to dictate
nohow-.?I want her to talk to me
some. And anothep** thing, I can't
think of what I am expecting to write
about, It must have been a terrible
thing to be nice to stenographers before
dreses got short.
It ain't nice to talk to your wife
about your stenographer unless you
are abusing her. She's suspicious to
begin with I never brag on mine
about the house. It is possible that
I say something about her aptitude
to swap periods for commas and interrogation
points for dashes, but I
leave off her figger and her pretty
clothes and her cold black hair.
Stenographers are fine for filing
papers where nobody can ever find
them, that is?some stenographers
are. My stenographer can file a
finger nail and put her hand right
on it 6 weeks later, and she is the
same way about letters and bills and
bogus checks. And by the way, I
wish somebody would invent a cabinet
_ where "bad" checks could be
placed?so's they could be forgot till
they were ^>d.
But as little as you think about
it, stenographers do about 95 per
cent of all the work that is done
in the average office. The boss
< thinks up the excuses for not remitting,
and apologizes for his merchandise
not being up to expectations, but
it's the girl that keeps things a-going.
Yes, sir ree: I'm glad that it ain t
stylish any longer to have boys ornamenting
a business man's offic^
any longer.
A New Organization
flat rock, s. C. Ockt. 7, 1930.
deer mr. editor:?
the farmers of my community has
resently organized a co-op beef business
and as a good man was needed
"to Be the pressident ol same, they
eleckted me to that job and my nubors
all told me that the people was
mighty fortunate to get such a good
man to hed the ass socation.
the first meeting was hell on the
front pi-izzer of mr. sam brown'*
and a good time was had by all,' as
she served us with limmer nade just
befoar we adjourned by prayer from
bro. joe siah jones ar#l h^ asked for
lots of things that i had never herd
of befoar, but needed possibly by us
onner count of dow prices of our
- * r niUA I, (M "| OISKK
stuff ansoforth.
%
the plan is for everyboddy whj
joins our ass sociation to pay in c25
to start with and after we raise as
mutch as 4$, the pressident is instructed
to buy a caff of a like value
and kill same and distribute it amongst
the members at cost, which,
according to my skales will average
about c8 a pound against the packers
c23 u pound.
the livver is never divided betwixt
no 2 parties, but he waits till his
turn comes and then he gets the
whole livver, and everyboddy gets
the same in lew or beef for that time,
and the hart is done the same way.
i always cut off what little beef i
need befoar beginning to hall same
around to the others, and us i am
the president of the club, i do like
other polly tishuns and take the best
cuts, such us 't' bones and rounds.
this club will work wonders for
us if we can manage to buy annything
to kill every week, and then
we don't hafter eat a whole caff by
ourselves like we would hafter do if
we wassent organized and had our
own caff, we may spread out later
on and cover such things as simuion
beer mebbe possums and like as
not, we mfry handle our watter millions
this way next year, rite or
foam if you want more information
about our beef club.

Bonfire of Old Paper Money
A steady glow arising from the
city dump grounds in Washington,
day and night, marks the passing of
billions of dollars. For months a
..funeral pyre of the large sized bills
of the old currency has been blazing
and it is thought that most of the
old paper money now has gone up
in smoke.
Seven or eight tons of it have been
destroyed daily. True to predictions
of treasury officials, the old bills, in
less than a year from the time they
became "doomed dollars," now are almost
curiosities.
The old-time purchasing power for
the luxuries and necessities of life
gets quite a formal funeral before
it passes into nothingness, however.
As an old 5- or 20-spot, battered and
worn from years of journeying, comes
limping into port, it is received at
the treasury department and put into
trunks which are carefully sealed.
No one except treasury officials
knows how much is in the trunks.
Then the bills are taken back to the
bureau of engraving find printing for
funeral service. There they are
placed in a big macerator, which
makes short work of the bills. Regardless
of the history of the bills,
their end is the same?a shapeless
mass of dirty white pulp. And the
glow from the dump pile continues.
G: fr; Smith,?a former?oil mill
worker of Allendale, was arrested in
Allendale Wednesday and charged
with the murder of his 26-year-old
brother, Richard Smith, whose mangled
and mutilated body was found
near the tracks of the Charleston
Western Carolina railway in Allendale
on September 22. Smith was
the fourth person arrested in connection
with the man's death.
England's oldest cat, aged 27 1-2
years,, lives at Wigan, and is 'still
willing to fight any dog which comes
along.
