Dec. 2. A -ix yea:-old "genius," dei lured to be one of tin.' nio-i lit illiant children ever examined hy American psycho'. ovists, hits been discovered by the college of tlu* ( it y of New York. The boy, .-on of prupi iidor.s of a small grocery store here, has so astonished Dr. Samuel B. Heckman. director of the educat ional clinic of the institution, that- it- has been deemed advisable not to make his name public. "Much advertisement of his abilities and the popularity arising therefrom," the professor said today. "Would prove harmful in introducing unfavorable and artificial influences in his social, emotional and intellectual achievements." Accordingly the child is to be referred to as "K." "K" cut his first tooth at eight months, began walking at 14 months, talked fluently at a year and a half. When "K" was 20 months old, he knew his alphabet and soon afterward was able to recite it backward. He had 72 blocks and by looking at] the figure on any one of them could recite from memory the other five objects on that particular block. In a test given by Professor Heckman, the six-year-old child used such words as "encyclopedia, evolution and luminosity." His arithmetical reasoning is equal to that of children almost twice his age. The Depression Is Over "Yessnh." said old Link, "business very good. Done bought a pig fo' $10, traded pig fo' a barrer, harrer fo' a calf, calf fo' a bicycle, and sol' do bicycle for $10!""But yo' don' make nothin', Link." "Sho* 'nough, but look at de business Ah been doin'." Henh Pay If They Lay Clemson College, Nov. 'JJ.? An average of six eggs each was laid by hens, on 72 cooperating farm* repotting before November 15, says I\ II. ( ootling, extension poultrytnan. These hen* ate 1'5 cents worth of feed each, and returned a total income, including sales of eggs and poultry, of 19 cents. len\ing a profit above feed cost of -i\ cents per hen for the month. The highest egg production was made by the White Leghorn breed, which laid (>.S egg* each; followed by Rhode Island Reds, which laid 5.0 eggs; Hatred Rocks, which laid 5.5 eggs each; and flocks of mixed breeds or flocks with more than one breed in it, which laid 4.9 eggs each. The five owners of flocks of less than 50 birds with highest egg records are Mrs. A. E. Dye, Edgomoor; Mrs. T. A. Robinson, Cross Hill; Mrs. A. C. Snowden, Kutawville; Miss M. Willis, Cottageville, and Mrs. D. J. Witherspoon, Alcolu. The highest-producing flocks consisting of 50 to 200 birds belong to Fred McAlister, Travelers Rest; Mrs. J. W. Blair, Orangeburg; Miss Gilmer Blankenship, Union; "Miss Edith Coleman, Blairs; and Misses L. and M. Theilkuhl, Walhalla. The highest-producing flocks consisting of 200 to 500 hens belong to W. M. Jacques, Cottageville; H. E. Roebucker, Moncks Corner; Mrs. T. I). Arant, Fort Motte; O. L. DeYoung, Bolton; and J. M. Hemminger, Willington. The highest-producing flocks consisting of 501 birds or more belong to R. II. Middleton, Clarks Hill; Mrs. A. E, Lightsey, Hampton; and Cyril Mills, Saluda.

For Dormant Peach Artd Apple Sprays Clcmvon College, I>ec. 8.?-?l.x)w<er coj>t of ingredient*, more effective control of scale, less discomfort to operators, and less increase in soil acidity due to acid-forming sulfur compounds have all increased the popularity of oil emulsion sprays over lime-sulfur sprays, says W. C. Net-1 ties, extension entomologist, discuss- j wig choice of dormant sprays for fruit trees to control insects and diseases. "Lime-sulfur was long the only material sought by South Carolina growers, hut the lust decade has seen the development of oil emulsion sprays for dormant application," Mr. Nettles continues. "While the trend towards oil sprays hits been greater among apple growers than among peach growers, there are growers in each group who are very enthusiastic over the results obtained with oil sprays." The main point in favor of limesulfur, according to the specialist,, is that it is practically "fool-proof," since injury to trees from lime-sulfur can scarcely result from the mistakes of inexperienced labor. On the other hand, in the,..use of oil emulsions the operator must be careful to keep the oil emulsified. Otherwise, free oil will float to the top and the last material sprayed from a tank will be almost entirely pure oil, which damages buds severely. Many commercial peach and apple growers may change from lime-sulfur to oil emulsion sprays to advantage, but home orchardists and large growers who do not personally supervise spraying operations may prefer to continue use of lime- sulfur. Demonstrations on the preparation of oil emulsions will be held in all apple and peach growing counties where the growers are interested. One will be held in Spartanburg county at Claude Bishop's orchard near Inman December 5, and another in York county at a date to be announced. County agents will arrange other demonstrations at centrally located orchards upon request of growers. Chill Hog Carcasses Promptly For Safety The prompt chilling of the freshly slaughtered hog carcasses is one of the most important factors in securing sound pork, says K. F. Warner, an extension animal husbandman of the I'. S. Department of Agriculture who is well known to South Carolina hog growers. Farmers will guard agam-t serious loss, from spoilage hv noting and observing Mr. Warner's suggest ion. Bacteria present in the tissues of the hog at the time of slaughter will develop and spoil the meat if allowed to grow, he explains. Chilling the carcasses to a temperature around 17 degrees Farenheit within at least 4X hours after slaughter and holding the curing meat at the same temperature throughout the curing period are the most practical means known today for keeping pork sweet until the curing salt has had time to penetrate. Freshly slaughtered hogs will chill more rapidly if they are split, the blanket of leaf lard pulled from the inside, and the head removed. Carcasses should be hung so that the sides do not touch and so that the air can circulate around the body cavity. Hot unsplit hog carcasses hung so that the body cavity is closed have soured the first night even when hung in cold storage. Where weather conditions make artificial refrigeration necessary, this may be done by means of regular cold storage or by packing the warm moat in cracked ice. Cold storage or ice-cooled meat boxes can be used to keep the temperature of the chilled meat around 17 degrees throughout the curing period if air temperatures are not sufficiently low. Presents More Than Paid For The case was closed and the judge had sent the jury out to try for a verdict. ''If I understand the evidence, said one of the jurymen, "the plaintiff doesn't ask damages for blighted affections or anything of that sort, but only wants his presents back." "That is so," agreed the foreman. "Well, then, I vote we don't give him a cent," said the other hastily. "If all the fun he had with that girl did not cover the amount those presents cost him. it was his own fault. I courted that girl once myself!" Postmaster General Farley was the principal speaker at the laying of the corner stone of a new post office building nt Gainesville, Ga., yesterday. Brazil has increased its shipments of cotton .1,600 per cent in a single year, but is much worried because of the inroads being made by the importation of foreign made rayon. HUSKY THROATS Overt** ?d by % Shows Signs Of Consciousness Chicago, Dec. 2.?-Patrica Maguire, |asleep two years and nine months, has come bai k to the twilight of consciousness and respond* to commands held before her eyes. The mother who had never abandoned hope for her daughter's awakening told today of the experiments that indicated the 20-year-old "sleeping beuuty" of Oak Park was rousing from the coma tliat had baffled medical science. Patricia, still unheeding the spoken command, now is able to recognize and follow instructions written on a slate and held before her. "I'm the only one who has always believed she would recover," said Mrs. Sadie Miley, the mother. Mrs. Miley and another ' daughter, Mrs. Gladys Hansen, in whose suburban home Patricia has been* slumbering since February, ii>32, began to demonstrate the experiment. "Put, raise your bund," Mrs. Hansen wrote on a slate. For a minute Putricia stared at the slate. Then, slowly she raised her hand. Patricia's apparent ability to coordinate her eye and mind was first discovered by her mother a few days ago. 'Sitting beside her pretty daughter, M rs. Miley watched Patricia move her eyes as if she were looking around the room. Mrs. Miley spoke to her. But just as it had been since February 15, 11>?2, Pat did not reply. Her eyes gave no indication that she had heard the words or recognized her mother. Still trying desperately to reach into her daughter's mind and awaken her, Mrs. Miley picked up a pad of paper and a pencil. "Raise your .index finger," she wrote and placed the paper before 'her daughter's eyes. Slowly Patricia obeyed. Mrs. Miley hurriedly wrote another message: "Raise two fingers." Again Patricia's optical nerves slowly carried the message to her brain and after a moment she lifted two fingers. Miss Maguire's case has been watched closely by the medical profession throughout the world and diagnosed lis a germ attack on the cenI tei> of consciousness in her brain. The ailment first became noticeable I to her family January 19, PJ.T2, when i Patricia hail frequent spells of drowsiness. Then. February 15, 1932, she collapsed across her bed as she was preparing to go to the office where she was employed as a private seciretary. Since that day she had been unable to speak or give any evidence that she recognized her family. Nearly every method known to science was enlisted in her behalf. Blood transfusions, injections of serums?even hypnotism?were tried. But through it all she slept on. Deadly Spiders Increasing Columbia, Dec. 10.?The venom of the 'black widow' spider is more deadly than that of a rattlesnake, according to information received by Dr. James T. Penny, associate professor of biology, University of -South Carolina. The male is harmless and much smaller than the female. She is usually called Public Enemy No. 1 of the insect world. They are cannibalistic. Only one survived out of 65 young ones placed ill a cage. They are to be found in every state from Maine to California, but thrive in the Southern IStates. They are* increasing rapidly, due to the sheltering effects of civilization. Many have 'been found in South Carolina. They are easily distinguished by the brilliant red hour glass markings on the abdomen. Thieves planned to steel a $60,000 gold shipment from a ship out of New York. But it happened that when the gold ingot was put aboard the President Harding it was locked up in the postal safe and they couldn't get to it. However they cracked the ship's safe and got away with $4,553. Only the engine and four cars of a 66 car freight train of the Pennsylvania railroa^l, were left on the track when a car buckled in the center of the train and threw nine cars into a creek 60 feet below, a short distance out of Philadelphia. A Stockholm paper says negotiations are under way for the "merging of the Swedish Match company of Sweden, and the International Match company in New York. 0 "X WANTED COTTON CERTIFICATES I need about twelve bales cotton exemption certificates.

An ertra five minutes were played and the visitona won by a score of 27 to 24. In spite of the rainy weather a large crowd was on hand to slupport their team. Misw Gertrude Zemp is the coach of the local players and in the succeeding games fans may expect to see some some very fine basketball. It is understood that the boy's team is now being organized, but as yet all of the arrangements have not yet been made. Gypped By Gypsies iSummerton, Dec. 5.?If any more Gypsies call at Matilda Green's they will not be given even a drink of ;^vvater. Several came into *her home and asked her to show them a coin and they would tell her a good fortune. -She went to the chest where her purse was hidden and got out a penny. After the fortune was told the penny was returned. One of them asked for a drink of water. After they left she found to hpr horror that the $40 which she had saved during cotton picking season was gone and a dirty handkerchief was stuffed in her purse as if it weTo still there.
