South Carolina Suffered From Extrcme
Host 162 Years Ago. |
Columbia, Feb. 17.?South Carolina
JOJ y.ars hko was apparently an ex*
trrtnely bot State, according to u des? |
criptlon found In the library oX the
I nlvernlty of South Carolina.
The account, written in 1774, ash,rin:
"Not only man, but evmy animal,
1b strongly affected by the sultry
heat of summer. Horses und cowa
retire to the shade and profusely'
thfovar meTiweiicc oriraawr-*
IjogH and dogs are much distressed
*11]] <t Poultry and wild fowls droop
their wings, hang out their tongues,
and with open throats paiit for breath.
'The planter who consults his*
health is not only cautious of bis
(itess and diet, but rises early for the
business of the field, and transacts
It before ten o'clock, and then retreats
to the house or shade during
the melting heat of the day, until the
coolness of the evening again invites
him to the field. Such is his feebleness
of body and languor of spirit at
noon that the greatest pleasure of
life consists In betnfc entirely at test.
Even during the night he is often restless
und depressed Insomuch that refreshing
?leep Is kept a stranger to
his oyes." j
This was at a time when, accord- i
ing to the same writer, "The mean
diurnal heat of the various seasons
lias been, upon the most careful observation,
fixed at sixty four in Bpring,
seventy njiul in summer, seventy two
in autumn, and fifty two in winter;
and the mean nocturnal heat in those
seasons at fifty six In spring, seventy
four in summer, sixty eight In autumn
and forty six in winter."
One of the worst blizzards of the
winter spread over Michigan on Monday,
with a total of nine known dead.
The state faces a coal and milk shortage.

Nobody's Business
Written for The Chronicle by Gee
McGee, Copyright, 1928.
POSTAGE DEW
..You m?y gay whut you please ubout
Uncle 8am. but he's a straight shooter.
He gives you yours always, and
likewise he gets his'n.
..Just before Christmas, a friend in
.Baltimore wrote me and my old lady
a Holiday card; she put It in an enTtop?
nnd scaled it, but as sh? was
busy cooking a cake (1 reckon), she
forgot to put a 3c alarnp on it.
..Uncle Sam's postmaster saw the
letter with no stamp on It, and he
says to himself, why, this will never
do: so down he sits and writes:
"Dear Mr. & Mrs. Gee McGee: We
have a letter here for you with no
3c stamp 911 it. Please send in postago
so that It might be forwarded to
you. Yours truly, Postmaster."
.. Well, I managed to raise 1 cent,
and the balance of the family rounded
up 2c which made 3c. I borrowed
3c more and bought u 3c stamp and
put in on an envelope, and setat the
postmaster's card and 3c back to Baltimore,
and told him?"Here you are."
..Two days later, the postman
brought a big government franked envelope
to our front door, knocked 4
times, rang the bell 3 times, and hollered
a few hollers, so, she, meaning
her, went to the door, and was handed
the aforementioned government envelope
with this notation thereon: j
"Postage Due, 8c." She paid it.
..We first thought the post office department
was Inviting us to go to
Atlanta or Sing Sing, but we couldn't
recall having robbed a federal reserve
bank or a post office or anything,
so we opened it, and there was
our Christmas card which said: "Love '
to all, Sallle." c I
..Up to now, we were out a total
cash contribution of X4c, but we had
the card with a picture of snow on
It. We never did understand why
Uncle Sam wrote for the 3c and then
sent us a C. O. D. letter with our
card In It for 8c. It had our names
plainly written on the right side of
the envelope: looks like he could have
mailed the letter and marked it?
"Postage Due, 3c," but he didn't. We
would have paid the 3c as quickly as
we did the 8c.
. .We finally dismissed from our minds
the loss of 14c and the loss of time,
patience, ansoforth, but, listen: yesterday,
we got another big letter from
Unple, and opened it with fear and
trembling. Lo and behold! our 3c
stamp (the one we sent him to put
on' our forgotten card) dropped out,
so?after all, we lost only 11c and an
envelope. There was no red tape
about that, Mr. Hoover.
Yours truly,
^ Gee McGee.

War Correspondent
Has Hard Life
Ugh Ferramll, Italian J&roatlland,!
Ian. 14.?( Hy courier and uir mail)? ;
I here jn a melancholy bounty about
African nights but the wur correspond- j
eiita, who mutt begin their day early, |
do moHt ot their admiring of tho full I
hipon and Jungle ahudowa in the morning
hours.
On a typical day 1 wan uwukeuod
4d?h ^4Rsr?iir^?ifnH?ii
brightly into iny tent that there waa
no need itjf light a iuntern. The moon
wuh full golden, but before we hud
come to bed our camp watched It go
into an ecllpBo that ended with a red
smear across Its center like dripping
blood.
"Jn Africa that means a great chief
is about to die," my native Askarl
guide told me.
The Askari cannot quite understand
the profession of a newspaperman,
so after puzzling over the matter for
some time, he Anally gave me the
title of "blgnor, the Professor of
Paper." Our small truck ploughed
through tho desert sand to Dolo
where a forced halt was made at a
field hospital for u bit of repair work
needed on this lone American correspondent
on the southern front. A
sympathetic doctor shook me a little,
took my pulse, asked mo how many
days I .'ftd been on the march and
then diagnosed it as too much sun,
and sand, an ailment to which you
soon get accustomed here.
Death, sudden and unexpected is
practically stepping on your heels every
second In war. I discovered a
few minutes later while resting In a
hospital chair beneath the fringe of
a grass hut.
There came the roar of an airplane
motor close overhead, its engine faltering
with spasmodic bursts of speed
that quickly died. The pilot seemed
to be desperately trying for altitude.
Through the tops of the high palm
trees I saw the flutter qf wide silver
wings, the huge bomber little more
than skimming the topmost leaves.
There came two last spurts from
the engine, then a quick "c-h-u-t"
sharp as the brief cry of a breaking
harp string. Stretcher bearers and
ambulances appeared Instantly, but
they were not needed. It was an
Instant and merciful death *for the
pll9t. The crash was about 2Q0 yards
from my: qhalr.
There was barely a halt In the war
parade. Tanks and cars, soldiers and
ammunition continued to march front-1
wards along the adjacent road.
At 10 &. jn. w? passed from tyolo
across the border into Ethiopia, passing
camel trains and native troops.
The road to the front is a busy one
but it is all one -way traffic. We came
to the last outpost of the Italians. The
Italian colonel in command of the
native garrison and his officers offered
us lunch In his grass hut and our
[party returned the hospitality by contributing
the luxuries (at the front)
of bottled mineral water and cigarettes.
.
It was a happy day for the post
as the white officers had Just received
their Christmas mail, four weeks
late. The colonel proudly offered candy
from a box sent him by his three
small children in Italy.
Just as lunch was finished the camp
broke into an uproar. Two Dubat
scouts were bringing in an Ethiopian
prisoner they had captured only a
few minutes before. They also reported
thtft sharp-shooters on a hill
I further up had seen numerous enemy
roving In the valley ahead of them.
The colonel invited us to come along
to the sharp-shooters' post and for
the next half houi^we sped over rpads
that to the naked eye^Sgemed barely
to exist. But the Ethiopians had retired
to. the Jungle and ther$ was no
fighting that day.
Back we started, returning to our
camp at 10 p. m., dead tired and covered
with dirt, sand and sunburn. I
began tp write a dispatch to give the
courier starting back for Mog&disco
that night. The Askari called at "the
door of my tent.
"Signor, the Professor of Paper,"
he said, "we are to move up again at
four o'clock tn the morning." '

Blaney Man Wins
In Corn Contest;
Columbia, KVb. 13.- Wilton Nln}-'
mi'U4 of the Kuowoo F. F. A. Chapter
Oconee County. won first plgce in the
Stale-Wide Chilean Nitrate Corn Conteat,
ha announced toduy by W. H
Garrison, u*sUtuut *tat? supervisor of
agricultural education. According to
bin records, Wilton made 120 bushels
of c<oru per acre on his one aero proYoung
Nlmmons won this honor In
competition with Vooattonal Agricultural
students throughout the state.
He received a total of $75.00 cash as
state and district prizes.
On his one acre Wilton estimates
that he made a profit of $03.60. This
com was produced, Wilton says, at a
cost of $14.40 per acre. He values
his corn at 90 cents a bushel. The
crop was planted on bottom land
where corn has been planted for a
J lumber of years. The weather conlit
ions were favorable for corn. The
variety used was nesting's prolific,
and was fertilized with 100 pounds
of natural Chilean Nitrate Dbr acre
when about knee high.
Wilton states that he has learned
that a liberal application of readily
available ^itrogen, good seed, and
thorough preparation of the soil are
essential to a good yield of corn.

by Mr. Garrison were Vernon "Strickland,
Floyds high school; Anderson
Morris, Gaffney; Sam Kirkland, Blaney;
Paul Brown Haigler, Elloree; Nat
Henderson, Ninety Six; and C. C.
