KEMPER COOKE
A most unique character hastily
left us, with whatever imperfections
he had, upon his back. He was a
man of ability, though somewhat too
erratic at times. He was needed In
the Senate where the checkrein iB always
too slack. Whatever else may
be said of Kemper he was an economist.
He believed iu making buckle
and tongue meet. He carried that out
in his private business. He was a
well to do farmer, as well as "Backwoods
Statesman."
He was educated, and knew how
to handle himself in any rough and
tumble fight. There was one feauture
of his life, not mentioned by the newspapers,
and from a highly reliable
source. He went to Furman University
as a ministerial student; and, at
one time, preached in Baptist churches.
He was regarded in ecclesiastical
circles, as a promising representative.
While his church, we believe,
does not believe in falling from grace,

KNOW ANY BIGGER?
?? ? i
Picnickers and campers thin time
of year ure pretty upt to have some
tough buttles with mosquitoes. When
they turn in for the night it's buzz,
buzz, buzz; bite, bite, bite; and tight,
light, light. Thus they are pretty apt
to have some rather horrifying
dreams about giant mosquitoes. However,
that is not supposed to be the
case in-this week's Know Any Digger
story, contributed by George C. Mur|
phy, of St. Mary's, Kutis., who writes
as follows:
A few years ago I was seated on
the bank of the Kaw river doing a
little fishing with a pole and line. The
afternoon was warm and the mosquitoes
were very bad. in fact they
kept getting worse as the afternoon
progressed. 1 noticed one mosquito
coming toward mo and he was every
bit the size of a bird and had a tusk
on him the size of a load pencil. Well,
1 picked up a fair sized stick and
struck ut him good and hard, but, as
luck would have it, I only clipped him
enough to make him hike for home.
Things wero going along nicely after
that and the llsh were biting swell.
There was a sort of drone in the air.
and I thought it was an airplane passing
over until it drew closer and closer
and then through the trees I saw
a swarm of giant mosquitoes flying
toward me at full speed. I Jumped
up and started on a run along the
bank of the river and every time I
looked back the mosquitoes were up
on me closer. 1 was nearly exhausted
and the mosquitoes were not over
live feet from me when 1 spotted an
old boiler lying along the bank ahead
and 1 made a dive for that and crawled
in pulling the lid down behind me.
1 felt pretty sufe in there until something
struck me in the leg and I
knew that the mosquitoes wero
swarming around the boiler and were
set on getting me. 1 went to straighten
myself out a little in the boiler
and my hand fell.upon a rock. 1 picked
it up and reached back and Just
bent that mosquito's tusk down on
the inside so ho couldn't get away.
Several others pushed through the
boiler and I Just bent their tusks
down as they came through. They
were all stuck there and couldn't get
away but they fought and flapped
their wings so hard that they just
carried the boiler and myself up In
the air. I Anally peeked out and
found myself sailing along about Ave
hundred feet in the air and moving
along just about Ave miles an hour.
Since none of the other mosquitoes
followed us I Just threw the lid away
and settled down for a nice ride.
They carried me over the town and
then started westward. About two
miles out of town they began to weaken
and slowly descended to the
ground. We landed in a wheat fleld
Just off the main highway so I crawled
out and walked over to the highway
and caught a ride back to town.
No one would believe my story so a
bunch of us drove out to the fleld to
see the mosquitoes, but none could
be found anywhere. They all laughed
at me, but I'll bet those "skBHtam"
just rested up and flew on with the
boiler until overcome by starvation.?

School Bus Assembly
Plant For This State
Columbia, July 24.?A proposal to
establish a school bus assembly plant
In South Carolina today was in tlio
hands of a special committee named
by county superintendents of education
of the state.
The meeting here yesterday, the
superintendents considered the plan
und u committee headed by S. J. Wall,

Man Loses Fingers
On last Thursday only a short
while after the noon hour Graham
Watson, who works with his fatherin-law,
J. H. Watsou, In the letter's
wood shop, had the misfortune of
getting all the four Angers of his left
hand cut off Just below the knuckles
of the hand by the saw at the buzz
planer. It is rather a remarkable
coincidence that his father-in-law In
the same month, July, sixteen years
ago, suffered a similar injury to his
left hand at the same machine, there
being only a matter of b!x days difference
in the day of the month.?
