REREAL PERIL8 OF DQQ-DAY8 Many myths ami tradition? have clustered around that period of the year known an dog daya. Three dates July J, July 19 and July 28 liuve been variously assigned as the beginning of thla period, und auperniltlon has added its contribution by miggcst lug that during that time the Jew on the gratia la poiaonoua, doge i?ro peculiarly auaceptlble to hydoI'l'ohla. and, indeed, that many dintelroua thlnga are likely to overtake iih tinleaa we watch our step.

H. Mickey, acting superutendent of the obaervatory, waa aak d to acttle thla vexed question. He *ays that dog daya belong to folkore and not to science. Neither their " ginning nor their end, he says. has anything to do with formal astronomy. J It la only fair to aay, however, that while American folk-lure haa embroidered its own interpretation upon log daya, thla period waa conspicuous In the mind of man ever alnce civilisation began to dawn in ancient -K.\ pt. The "helical rising" of Sims, the dog star?that la to aay, when 11 began to appear in "conjunction" with the aun?it marked the rising of the fertilizing waters of the Nile and wuh therefore u time of great rejoicing to all Egypt, whose proanerity depended upon this natural irrigation of the cropa in the rich Nile valley. Not because the dew on the grass will be poisonous for the next 04 days, but for many reasons entirely < (insistent with science and common -sense, the dog days call for an un ??ual amount of care and the observance of sanitary rules during the odd days beginning July 19. There is nothing intrinsically iu *Lhe weather during tin- dog days which makes logs more susceptible to hydrophobia. '"'I it is a fact that in warm, open weather dogs run at large more free,v "'a'1 the colder months and therefore are more frequently brought into contact with oilier dogs that may lie suffering from rabies. Human beings also run at large, "i going to picnicM and rural eamps. during this period much more than iu colder weather and therefore take great.T chances of contracting typhoid lever, malaria and several other disc as< s. The number of persons drowned at swimming resorts during this season may also be taken into consideration. ''"is it comes about that while we may dismiss the myths which attarh to dog days as a particularly dangerous season, there are solid tacts which warn us that the 5o odd ?l?vs immediately before us call for Hie exercise or caution and the rules ot sanitary living. ^-Maeon Telegraph.

Would you say the community waa sold on game and hah conservation and propagation? j( Bet's lo(*k to the record.

Two game , sanctuaries, one of 285 acres, the other 480 acres. Polnsette Park starting with 1,000 acres, and $5,000 put up by the county; 28,000 acres of sub-marginal land already accepted by the federal government and eventually i Poinsette Forest will embrace approximately 50,000 acres with 7 to 900 men working thereon. A number of lakes being constructed in the area, and hunting and fishing, developed under government regulations. A fish hatchery and three rearing pools at Mediae's Mill. Thirteen thous- i and quail eggs distributed by the association through the fine cooperation of Emory Clark, owner of Milford Plantation. i Stranded fish have been rescued and replanted in the streams. Twelve miles of Pocaluligo creek cleared of brush in the channel so that the i stream could be fished and also patrolled by wardens in boats. Appointment of county game wardens is made by tin* executive board of the association, and all but ten ; per cent of th<? monies from the sale i of hunting licenses, and fines collect- i I ed, go back to the county for the benI efit of the sportsmen. . ----These are the outstanding accomplishments within their own county for four years. In addition they have given their members as officers of the state association and cooperated actively in its state-wide efforts. < Through doing tilings they have shown their people that things could be done. Through accomplishments they havg educated their people, and shown them, to the extent that for nothing would they return to the old : days and old ways. This is not written as praise for Sumter county. Their reward is their accomplishments. But it is given to show other counties what one has done others can do.

July 20.?"The coachwhip snake is non-poisonous and is very beneficial to the farmer because it will eat more rats than a cat. Farmers ought never to kill one." according to John A. Crawford, director ot physical education for men, I'niversity of South Carolina, and an authority on snakes. It is one of the fastest of crawling snakes, the only other which can compete with it is the black snake. In crawling through the bushes, the coach-whip holds-its head from six to eighteen inches off the ground, and is one of the most alert and graceful animals in the world The coach-whip, and the black snake, the ot her member of the same family, swallow their food without killing it. Moth upper and lower jaw are movable and it can hold its prey while moving it around in its mouth. It does not wrap its body around the prev but throws one fold over it while holding it. preparatory to swallowing it, Mr. Crawford says.

' ^ ^ MALARIA B^^ 3 days hlllll COLDS ^^B ^^B ^B first day Liquid - Tablets TONIC Salve and Nose Drops LAXATIVE Wine Tank Wrecked; Many Drunks Follow The following story from the Lancaster News on September 14, 1920, telle of a reign of terror that held Van VVyck in its grip for two daye when a carload of wine wa? wrecked j near there on the Seaboard railway. Van Wyok wax thrown in a reign of terror Saturday and Sunday by a 10,000 gallon tank of wine being wrecked about a quarter of a mile from the Van Wyck station on the S. A- L. railroad. Many innocently began to catch the wine as it flowed through tlie crevices from the tank ind began drinking it thinking it nonalcoholic but it noon began to show Lhe demon in it and those who drank became drunken and crazed. The word spread rapidly and people began pouring in, more and more, until Van Wyck became a circus grounds. All kinds of vessels, from a pint bottle to a fifty gallon barrel, was at a premium. Coffee pots, oil cans, tin cans and crockery vessels of all descriptions and even the household milk churn was put into use. Automobiles from miles around came and many other conveyances were also seen. If there had been a toll gate leading to Van Wyck enough money could have been collected to pave tlie streets and put all the'roads in good condition. Karly Saturday morning a boisterous negro from Catawba Junction began cursing and brandishing a large pistol witli threats of shooting up the town. He resisted arrest and it took Lhree men to disarm and subdue him. He was arrested, tried and convicted and is now spending thirty days on Hie chain gang. There were many colored people about, more or less intoxicated, but they were not boisterous. The sentencing of one negro to the gang had a telling influence on them. The excitement seemed to grow stronger and stronger so that the sheriff was summoned over the phone and he was soon on the ground. Sheriff' Hunter took charge of lhe situation and ordered all the wine poured out. By noon it was thought the worst was over and the sheriff returned to Lancaster. In tiie afternoon a new wave broke out and much intoxication was in. evidence. Magistrate J. W. Cranshaw appointed five men as extra peace officers and swore them in but things did not grow better and at evening pandemonium reigned. Men swore and fought while women fainted. Sheriff Hunter was again summoned and tills time lie was accompanied by police officers from Lancaster. They began a search for wine and a 1;">0 gallons found in homes of negroes was poured out while some was found in homes of white people. All Sunday morning automobiles began coming into the little village, many from a distance, some for sight seeing and curiosity, others from a craving thirst so that by twelve o'clock Van Wyck was tilled with more people than it could accommodate. A drunken crowd gathered in j front of the stores and Sheriff Hun-1 ter was again summoned. One man was arrested after putting up a strong resistance. Order was Anally restored. One woman of Van Wyck who is ninety-three years of age said that Saturday and Sunday surpassed in lawlessness anything she had ever witnessed in that ordinarily peaceful town.?Lancaster News.

I The Jury returned its verdict terday morning at 10 o'clock, after I having received the case Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The trial occupied two weeks in a special session fl of superior court before Judge Wilson Warlick.
