Ico Cream Cones Aplenty Conway, Mass., Aug. 4.?The faithful of Conway's Sunday school class ate free ice cream cones again today under the will of the late Josiah Boyden. Boyden had a daughter who died in childhood and she so liked ice cream cones that when he died in 1927 he left $1,000 trust fund to buy free cones fourteen Sunday each summer fcf those who attended Sunday school regularly. Now. with snow on the ground it's almost impossible to reach church many Sundays during the winter, so trustees of the Boyden will decide that 70 per cent attendance should be considered "regular." This year forty-four qualified, among them four-year-old Jean Ralston, the Nye twins, Geraldiue and Gena A., fifteen and Deacon Cecil Field, eighty-seven, who seldom fails to eat his cone. Capt. J. J. Day of North Carolina still- doesn't like snakes but he no longer chases them with his car. When he recently tried to run over 1 one he ran over an embankment instead. Although the car rolled for 25 yards none of the three occupants were seriously injured. Science reveals that corncobs contain many chemicals which may some| day make tfyeip valuable.

Mill Much Flour , At Elloree Plant ! ~ < Elloree, Aug. 7.?Fanners about El* . loree aren't going to buy as much < flour thLs year as usual. The Arant flour mill here which was handed down from father to son. is doing double its usual amount of business. The weather in this section was unusually good for grain this year according to Edward C. Arant who succeeded his father at the mill, and wheat being brought here Is in fine condition. Some of it comes from as far away as Charleston county. Besides flour, the mill also turns out grits and stock feed. It is equipped to turn out fifty barrels of flour a day, if there is a demand for this amount, and many days this has been the case this year. The hum of the me-to-r trf the rnill is uGarv! ull Cliroivgli tin* night when there is a rush for orders. * Both plain and self-rising flour are made at the plant and sacked for customers. This mill was operated here for years by the late Michael B. Arant, father of the present owner. He was known for many years throughout this section as a most efficient miller and at the time of liis death he was perfecting his mill to grind pearl grits that would not have the familiar "black speck."

As Governor Johnaton declared in tils address to the Confederate veterans in Columbia this week the great danger In so much of this haudlngmt from Washington Is that the morale of the American people will be completely destroyed, und we will de-. generate Into a race of people who appeal to the Government for practically everything Instead of showing that spirit of fight and struggle that our forefathers displayed In wreHting this country from savages and cutting down the forests to till the land and build cities. As Governor Johnston intimates the spirit of the American people is rapidly being supplanted by a spirit of dependence upon Washington. The Yorkvllle Enquirer qoutes one of its readers as follows: "The curse of the present time is the Insatiable desire of a greut majority of people to look to others to help them; they have stripped themselves of the old-timey principles of selfrespect. Think of your father or mine throwing up hands and yelling for Uncle Sam or John Hull or some one else to stand between him and a will and determination to make an honest living, scrupulously practicing the fundamental principles of downright, i common honesty. You know common I honesty in this peculiar age Is like i common sense, very uncommon." ?Chester Reporter.* oee His Finish Kumquat?I'm tired of life. I don't know what to do.

However, in the meantime many farmers and others in the county have indicated they would like to kill us many rata as possible around their premises prior to the younty-wide rat campaign. For the convenience of those who wish to poison at this time we have gotton in a quantity of red Bquill bait which is prepared under the direction of the United States Biological Survey. This can be secured at the County Agent's office at nomlnul cost. This rat bait is an emetic and not a poison and la not supposed to kill anything except ratB and mlco.
