Knlowa, nutlonal director J of first a id and llf <- saving for the ! American Ked Cross. "A danger of the early days of hot ! weather Is that of getting too much sunburn in too short u time or softerIng from sunstroke ami exhaustion from heat" he pointed out today. "It Is well to remember that sunburn that cornea on u cloudy day may cause even more serious damage than that caused by direct sunahlne, because the victim does not suspect the darhage that Jh being done us the sun's rays filter through the clouds. "Severe sunburn is dangerous. There should bo a gradual exposure to the sun's rays, until the skin Is toughened and tanned sufficiently to prevent burns. A burn on an already burned surface iqay be serious. The use of olive oil, cocoa butter or some good ointment for burns, applied before exposure, will be of considerable help in preventing serious burns, and they can also lie used us a remedy for first degree burns. A calamine j lotion which can be bought at any j drugstore is very soothing. If the j burn covers a considerable urea of the body, or if the patient develops j a fever, a physician's service should j be secured. 1 "Sunstroke, which annually causes many deaths and prostrations, is caused by direct exposure to the sun's rays. A similar condition, beat stroke, may be caused by excessive Indoor heat. Proper clothing, particularly t the protection of the head and neck in a hot sun, may help to prevent sunstroke. When symptoms are not] Iced, which include pain in the head, dizziness, vomiting and sometimes I fever, the victim should find a cool | shaded place to rest. No stimulants should be used, and if the symptoms do not readily pass a Way medical help should be summoned. "To prevent exhaustion from indoor heat, in engine and boiler rooms, j foundries, bakeries and similar indusi trial plants, some simple rules are | available: avoid exposure when not I feeling well, do not overeat during hot weather, avoid large quantities ot lice cold water following a full meal, land be careful in the use of alc.oholie beverages." i lt< .1 Cross lirst aid. which includes ! practical instruction for the previ ujtion and cure of burns ami for otte r accidents or emergencies, is being taught this year in camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps.- in Aim ri! < nil le gion posts, in summer camps I and iri Red Cross chapters ev< ry| where, to help safeguard Ameri< an 1 people during their vacation season (of recreation and enjoyment. Indian Relics Found on Farm (Hy Eulalie McDowell) While plowing on the plantation of Mr. Walter Stovall a few days ago, negroes unearthed bones, pottery and arrowheads undoubtedly the relics of Indians dwelling in Morgan county several centuries ago. The discovery was made when a mule which one of the negroes was plowing became unruly and dashed off the field into a large gully. Thinking to control the mule, the negro pushed the plow deep into the ground and struck a pottery bowl approximately sewn inches in diameter ami five inches deep. The unusual finding caused the negro to probe around j J the area with the result that part of a skeleton was found. A jaw bone, I intact until the weight of the mule's I hoofs cracked it in the center, was j lound near the bowl, as were leg j bones, ribs and bits of a skull. ! Each tooth set in the jawbone was ..-till in excellent condition and when i the mud was brushed off glistened in the sunlight. Searching within a radius of titty yards around the grave produced hundreds of fragments of broken potto i \ ami arrowheads, some in perlet t condition. Most of the pottery i pie, e> showed partly designs of varI iou- descriptions. Some of the fragni< nts contained notched patterns i once the top of a bowl. 'Other fragj incuts wen decorated with designs ! of a nature similar to the Navajo ! patterns of the Indians of the South1 west. In all. there were fragments of . half a dozen different types of howls. On the same day, several hundred j yards from the spot of this tltul. anj other bed of broken pottery was also j plowed up Throughout the plowed area for \ards around bits of broken | potter> ma> he found. A more serious Investigation will I he conduc ted hy Mr. Stovalll who bej lieves that the spot was once an luj dlan burying ground Negroes on his place for a long i time have picked up small amounts j of money by selling the arrowheads, j so easily found in the vicinity, to 'collectors of Indian Relics from the j I Diversity of Cleorgia.?The Madisoni ian. Orangeburg county is preparing to spend $$29,000 for now highways, since an act of the legislature authorizes the state highway department to contract to reimburse it for bonds to be issued. Hitherto, some parts of the county have had all the roads, it was argued. Another act. allowing any county in the state to take the same action was also passed by the legislature recently. Range Shelters In ! The Care Of Pullets j CU'inaon College, May 20.?"Sue-1 tt-Bbiul poultry men llnd It necessary j to i?tv?- aw careful thought and attention to'developing pullets a? is given to th?- early brooding operation**" says I'. II. Gooding, extension poultryinan "This time and money are well spent because a well developed pullet la the profitable winter egg producer." Young birds can easily contact diseases from the laying hens when they range together. These infections are usually in the aoil previously used by old hens. Hence Mr. Gooding's advice thut when the pullets no longer require heat they should be moved to ground where no poultry has been ranging the past year. This location should be far enough away, from the laying house so that the pullets will not range on the same ground used by the adult birds. Range shelters, which have been used in the East about 10 years but have not been generally used in South Carolina, are suggested by Mr. Gooding as important in the successful care of pullets on the range. A good shelter may be made from 1x3 inch material. The usual kind and size is an A-shaped type, 10x10 feet square. T|je shelter is live feel high at the gable and two feet at the eaves. The gable ends, the sides, and the bottom are covered with one-inch poultry netting. Roost poles are placed one foot above the ground and one foot apart over the floor of the shelter. Kit her roofing paper or cotton \ feed bags with three applications of gas tur may be used to cover it. Shelters constructed according to these dimensions will take care of about 73 pullets during the summer j months. Pullets that have been kept! on new ground and free of intestinal j parasites during the growing period i may be moved to the laying house* when they are five months old or > ready to start to lay with little fear > of disease trouble. Pay High Duties On Cotton Cloth j Japan* se cotton cloth imports into j the I'nited States during January paid duties of 14.2 cents per pound, ac* ? cording to ligures compiled by the, Ihircuu of Agriculture Kconomies of! the I'nited States Department of Ag-i riculture. Of this amount. x.T cents per pound was the "{idvalorem duty on cotton cloth for January imports. The re-j maitider. cents per pound, was : the compensatory tax which is levied to offset the processing tax paid by! domestic manufacturers. The processing tax applies only to cotton used to make products sold in the I'nited States, and competing cot- ' ton products, imported from foreign countries, must pay the compensatory tax equivalent to the processing tax, in addition to the normal tariff duty imposed on imports of cotton cloth, it is pointed out by Cully A .Cobb, director of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration's cotton division. Processing taxes on exports of cotton cloth are refunded. An analysis of cotton cloth imports from Japan during January, 1933, indicates that the following items were included in their cost before they could be put on I'nited States Mar- * kets: Average invoice value at point of J foreign departure, 31.7 cents per j pound of cloth; average import duty,' S.7 cent's per pound of cloth; com-j pensating tax levied to offset processing tax, *?.."> cents per pound which is equal to the rate of 4.2 cents per pound on raw cotton. To these costs must be addeil ocean shipping charges, insurance and handling ; charges. Bootlegger Relates Experience It must bo a miserable life in the bootleg business. Walter Phillips,. .'.ti-.'at < noti and Caucasian of liooze-! laud. sa> s he lias quit ?and quit for good" "What cured you?'' lie was it-k* d H?* replied: "Dotn revenue' officers give me enough on the last round." It was about a year ago. \ Tlier*- wet * whites and 2 colored.! On*- of tlie former made his escape. The> had a barbed wire fence around 1 the still to keep tin* hogs and cows i out. Walter says that when Sligh blew in, the1 crowd broke, but there were two other officers oil the side lines. .That as he got half way through the wire fence, several of the bootleg crew were on the top j strand, and his shirt was stripped from the body. Mr. Sligh. lie said, > called for ati axe to open the barrels and sacks of sugar, which "almost > make in*- cry to see it go." "Ross. I you done got me now please give tne j a good drink before it all go." Sligh j then loaded them all in automobiles, 1 and highballed for Columbia. Waiter i says when he reached the city he . was so drunk that he had to crawl to ! the Jail. "Rut." said he. "dat judge i let us off light wi*l fines. Howsoever, . 1 done got enough of dat life to las I me. Not dat 1 wouldn't cept a good ! drink, but no cop will ever ketch me I again at any still. 1 am cured." Walter talks like he means it. and, is a true convert. He summed It all up1 by the remark that it Is a "hard way to make a living." And he ought to know.?Calhoun Times.

RECALLS DESTRUCTIVE FIRE Which Swept Aaway Many Buildings in Neighbor Town of Kershaw. The I*ancuster News in its features of long ago reproduces the following from their llles of the Lancaster Enterprise recalling the disastrous lire which swept Kershaw on November! 17, 1897: "Kershaw was visited Saturday night by a disastrous conflagration which swept away thirty buildings, including three brick store rooms and most of the merchandise stored in them, entailing a loss of over $50,- j OOo upon the citizens, most of whom had' little or no insurance, the total | insurance being less than $15,000. I Several thousand of this was written I by companies of whose standing very j little is known. "The lire originated in the bakery occupied by J. C. Hough, next to the old drug store of Dr. J. E. W. Tlaile It was discovered about half past ten o'clock by D. J. Gardner who was sleeping in the second story of the store owned by Dr. Halle and before 2 o'clock the fire was over. It! spread both ways from where it started and destroyed every building but i two on the lower end of the street' fronting the railroad, crossed over Marion street and burned four buildings stopping at Strattons' brick store building where the roof was damaged considerably. From the story building on the corner of Hampton and Marion j streets the fire spread eastward on the south side of the 1 at,tor, burning three brick buildings and-some six. or eight small buildings. "It was with much difficulty the ('apt. J. V. Welsh stables, occupied I by H .1. Gregory & Co., were saved. Some very fine work was done or they would have gone and if that had burned the fire would have gope on and every frame building including several dwellings in thai vicinity would have been swept away inevitably and several brick stores. "Beginning at the southern limit of the burned buildings on Hampton street, and coming north on this street to the northern limit of the burned district, then following Marion street eastward the following Is a list of the burned buildings with their approximate value: 'R. L. Sowell $150, H. B. Massey $400, D. T. Hough $600, Heath Springs & Co. $800, Dr. F. C. Hinson $200, W. i Ganson $700, R. Mosely $800, Dr. J.' h-. W. Haile $800, estate J. E. Pearce $600, Blackmon & Estridge $1,400, Mrs. M. W. Welsh $1,200, William Cook $750, Town Hall $200, Holden & Bros. $300, R. L. Sowell and S. L. Gardner $1,500, W. F. Cook and T. J. Gregory $800, R. L. Sowell and S. L. Gardner owned seven frame building on this street which in the aggregate were worth $2,500. Watson & Sowell s blacksmith shop also burned and 46 bales of cotton belonging to various people burned." Emergency relief has been sought for 2n4 families whose farms were laid waste by the hailstorm last week in Greenville county. Between 1,200 and 1.500 aires of cotton was destroyed. and corn ruined in some places. 1 he crops were destroyed in an area of six or eight square miles. Willi in any hailstones as large as hen eggs.
