H. Thomas, Orangeburg county, won first place with a total weight of 2581 pounds, says J. R. Hawkins, extension animal husbandman. This average weight of 1585 pounds pef pig was second heaviest average weight per pig, the heaviest average being made by the seven-pig litter of J. H. Culler, Jr., another Orangeburg farmer, whose pigs averaged 304 pounds. v Eleven pigs in a litter grown out by,Henry Lightsey, Hampton, won second place in the contest, with 2823 pounds, or 256.6 pounds per pig. The 12-pig litter of' H. P. Lee, Clarendon, came third, 2720 pounds; the 12-pig litter of R. J. Salley, Orangeburg, fourth, 2602 pounds; the 10-pig litter of-B. F. Kneissen, Richland,fifth, 2405 pounds; and the 12-pig litter of Silas Walker, colored, Clarendon, sixth, 2418 pounds. Others in the contest making a ton or more of pork per litter included Frank Cain, Sumter, 2279 pounds on 10 pigs; Roy Bessinger, Bamberg, 2212 pounds on 11 pigs; J. M. Fogle, Orangeburg, 2148 pounds on 10 pigs; E. E. Stevens, Dillon, 2102 and 2097 popnds on two litters of 10 pigs each; J. P. McGill, Williamsburg, 2040 pounds on 12 pigs. The experience of the ton-litter feeders in 1931 bears out again, says Mrv "Hawkins, the good purpose of the work?to secure rapid economic production by good feeding and management from birth; for without exception these ton-litter pigs showed a return for the labor and other charges after paying for the feed. The cost of gains ranged from $3.21 to $5.49 per hundred pounds. The prize money, donated by several Richmond commission merchants to stimulate interest in hog production was therefore used to good purpose?"

Real good teachers were paid enormous salaries of from $20.00 to $30.00 per month, that is. they were promised that by our (laddies, and sometimes some of them paid a portion of it. The public did not pay for little things like schools liien. ..All of my 9 brothers and sisters carried their dinners in separate buckets....to avoid fights ai .big re cess. I can see my dinner right now: 2 big biscuits that I bored hole- tn with n\y finger and poured therein some ho-made sorghum, and 1 generally had a dessert consisting <>t a piece of fried sweet potato, or possibly a flitter. (That's what we called fried bread). Nothing has ever been half so good to me as those school dinners. Occasionally our teacher would go to sleep during big recess and the guy that made a noise loud enough io wake him up got a good humping on a stump the next day. I remembe once... he slept all the afternoon, and after we had pl.\ye<L tili time to go home, we all went and Irft him still wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. We learned a little about spelling and reading and played stinkbase and 2-holey-cat, but not much else. I graduated in the 8th gra e and then I was too big to go to school and I stopped and stayed stopped, as you possibly know by now. Recluse Passes At Great Age New York, Mar. 12.?Mrs. Ida K. Wood, who lived as u million dollar, hermit in the heart of Manhattan since the panic of 11*07, died here today of pneumonia. Her years were 93 and her memories of a bygone day were priceless. She died in the third-rate hotel in Herald square where she had lived a recluse's life for nearly a quarter of a century, Ida Wood was the widow of Benjamin Wood, brother of a New York mayor and publisher of a Democratic newspaper in the time of Abraham Lincoln. Once she danced with Edward, Prince of Wales. She was a social leader for 20 years during the post-Confederate war period. Her story rema,ine<f her own until last summer, when her kinfolk found she had been living alone since the death of her sister, Mary. She had refused medical or legal advice and almost starved herself by cooking meager meals over a gas burner. ?When "her "nephew, Otis F. Wood, was appointed guardian her secret world tumbled at her feet. Under her protesting eyes ami in spite of her I I grumbling words, a search of her I belongings unearthed nearly a million dollars in mouldy currency and coins, an equal amount of jewels and I invaluable mementoes of her intrigu- J ing past. Four hundred thousand dollars were taken from a brown paper parcel in her faded taffeta frock and $500,000 more from a secret pocket in her skirt. Other findhi^were a gold-headed cane President Monroe gave her father-in-law, a set of the "Tragedies of Mr. William Shakespeare," printed in 1728, with a preface by Ben Jonson, a family Bible dated 1750, silks and satins and laces and society programs encrusted with age. Her gruding confession revealed that she had never trusted banks too much and that after the panic of 1007 she virtually had withdrawn her trust in mankind. Many were the tales she told her intimates of her holiday, such as the time she toured Africa with $700,000 tied to her wrist in a paper bag. Her determined head bowed at last and she was given the last rites of the Roman Catholic church this morning. She will be buried in Oal vary cemetery Monday after a requiem at St. Francis' church, Friday last was the 57th anniversary of the beginning of the use of the telephone as a speaking device in the United -States. Already telephone users in the United States can converse with users in 10 others continents. These connections comprise a network of $.'12,750,000 telephones, or more than 02 per cent of all such instruments in the world. It will bp only a short time until virtually all of the remaining connections will bo possible in the opinion of government communication exj>orts.
