" M Signs That Indicate Improved Conditions Clemson, July 18.?Facts from the United States Department of Agriculture to the Clemson College Extension Service show decided agricultural Improvement in South Carolina during the past few years. A marked trend toward increased hay acreage and pasture is apparent in South Carolina. According to preliminary figures of the Bureau of the Census, the acreage devoted to all hay and sorghums for forage in 1934 was 207 per cent greater than reported in 1929. Similarly, total acreage in pasturage of all kinds in South Carolina increased from 1,792,997 to 2,120,866, an increase of 18 per cent. Fertilizer-tax tag sales indicate that in 1933 South Carolina farmers purchased 681,516 tons of fertilizer. For 1935 purchases rose to 613,661 equivalent tons, an increase of 5.5 per cent. Increased sales of new, ordinary life insurance have been another indication of the return of farm purchasing power. These sales in South Carolina for 1935 aggregated-$31,555,000 compared with $27,873,000 in 1933, an increase of 13.2 per cent. According to the Automobile Manufacturers' Association, the 1934 retail automobile sales gain In South Carolina was greatest in small towns and on farms. From 1933 to 1934 new passenger car registrations on farms and in toWps under 10,000 population in-1 creased 4?Sj)er cent, whereas in towns over 10,000 population the increase was 25 per c^jalt^ ^ ^ ^ Savings, including time deposits and postal savings deposited in banks in South Carolina, aggregated $29,698,000, an advance of *8,400,000 or 39 per cent for the year closing June .29, 1936, in comparison with the year ending June 30, 1933. In the Federal Reserve System's Richmond District, which includes South Carolina, debits to< individual accounts, which amounted to $6,993,934,000 In 1932, rose to $6,840v158,000 in 1934, and to an estimated $6,987,604,000 in 1935. Consequently, they were 17 per cent higher in 1935 than in 1932. Woman Electrocuted At Sing Sing Osslnlng, N. Y., July 17.?Mrs. Frances Creighton, electrocuted for the poison eggnog murder of Mrs. Ada Appelgate, was the first person In Sing Sing prison's history ever carried to the electric chair. Semi-comatose, her head lolling against the back of a wheel chatr, Mrs. Creighton was trundled Into the death chamber late last night aad executed along With Everett C. Appelgate, husband of the slain woman. Appelgate, In contrast, calmly walked in unassisted two minutes after Mrs. Crelghton was pronounced dead. He faced witnesses to protest his innocence, and invoked Divine mercy for the district attorney who had pros* ecuted him. , . * . * T*.

Chronic!, by Cm *<*? . Copyright, 1928. THE PERIODICAL HAND-SHAKER 18 AMONGST U8 AGAIN ..The whole country lg seriously afflicted with politics. This Is Indeed a political year. Every office from coroner to the president of the United states will have to be filled within the next few months, and the woods we full of the beat, smartest, wisest, honest est, soberest men that I over heard of before all seeking a berth on the good old gravy train. . .1 have decided that I will vote for the candidates regardless of their pollcles or politics who don't wan t to go around shaking hands. In the first Place, shaking hands ain't sanitary. Imagine a guy sticking dut his paw to you ... which has possibly just shovelled a quid of Browns Mule to the gutter, or wiped his mustash after eatlug a pint of wormy goo^jfe and drunk a bottle of slimy soiimfp. I always try to dodge the chronic political handshaker. They dive at a fellow like a duck at a June bug i with a horny, fuzzy (frequently) bunioned hand extended, accompanied by a 10-Inch smile on his face that never even grinned till it got Into the officeseeking business. Lots of the aspirants for office have never shook over 75 hands in all their lives. ..Even our wo^Tn folks have to accept this punishment. Think of a sweet, tender, beautifully manicured little hand havfng to be grasped by a hbrse-shoe,rasp, ham-like hand! Why, it's awfully afwul. That's a candidate's idea of saying ? **\ love you dearly, please Vote tor me.'' Looks? like they could walk^up to a citizen and say.: "Good morning, Mr. Smith. I ain't lit for the office, but neither is the other guy. Won't you kindly vote for me?" -:l believe in being sociable when shaking hands, or even kissing, is intended for a sociable indulgence, but I in against this seasonable-vote-forHie, (you old sap) handwrlnging and flnger-twlstlng practise that lasts only from the time he announces until he either getB elected or gets beat. It doesn't make any difference; he quits being so nice after the election. Now, I think it would be cut? for the voter to make the hand-shake approach. He could seek out a campaigner. and extend his arm to an akimbo position, and invite the candidate to shake. Then the candidate would know he was going to get that vote; but the other way, is kept 'guessing all of~thb\tIme, that is?till the ballots Are counted. After that, the votersjkvfi kept jessing till the nextf race/talces plactfj There ought }to be a Jaw to keep Candidates at a safe sanitary distance from a voter. (No harm meant, Boys; Just couldn't think of anything to write 1 about Come on, Shakfc), MIKE CLARK ANALYZE8 THE POLITICAL 8ITUATION deer mr. eddltor:? 1 notis by the speeches that are being made by so-called dlmmercrats that they seem to he running against the party instid of with it.Hlfey should either be a dlramercrat at hart, by word of month, aitd by acts, or get out and Jine up with the crowd they the pulling for. we have some state candidates that want to go higher (while they are Uvving; ain't much chance afterwards tho) (hat enjoy fighting the add-ministration . . . and the new dealers who have stood by It, but they don't have no planks in their flatform which tells what they will do or undo that ain't now going on. they have allso fetched the race subject Into their statements, but that is due to color-blindness, when a fellow down sooth that Is running for offis, and finds hisself with no legs to stand on, and no politics to adhere to, he commences to say ''nigger, nigger, niggetr." that type of campaner Is well known tho, and so far, they don't ever get nowhere except back home. with a few more knox from al. smith, the republicans will lapdon the philly-delphy flatform that the dlmmercrats, not the libberty leaguers, got up. he seems to be a gne gop^ per (g. o. p.) but he is afeared to oome out in the open and switch over, h have a ritch uncle in texas that is alls versus the addmlnlstration onner count of the inhairitanc? and the lnis* but everything else is o. k. zizness is booming, factories is running full time, everboddy is riding in new cars, children are wearing dean dotbes! railroads are grumbling, aa usual; trucks are hauling the stuff for less', and the govverment is renting extry land from the farmers in sections where It "ain't gon-er rain no *mo,w hooray for hooray! but. mr. ddltor, wtrnt I Martad nut I to rit* you about Im thu pMOu yuu No Relief From Heat Disaster Chicago, July 17. -Already resigned to drought losses calculated lu the hundreds of millions of dollars,/farmers of the nation's corn-hog belt looked In vain for a break In the adverse conditions today as forecasters reported: "No general relief sighted." Heat deaths although reduced, In rate by more moderate temperatures iu the hard-hit states of Minnesota, Michigan, Wiaconslu and Illinois, jioared 4,200 In the uatlou. Scattered showers and allghtly lower temperatures, but no inclusive leviattou of aridity, were predicted for parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana At Des Moines, Iowa, Junior Meteofiotogist a. K. Decker said reports Indicated drought and heat reduced that state's probable corn yield per acre each day. Iota's death list for the current heat wave mouuted to 400, more than twice as many heatInduced deaths as had ocurred in the state since 1023. Scattered ahowera were predicted, but of Insufficient Intensity to reduce the costly high temperature. Crop damage in Missouri already was figured at $100,000,000 in a crop bulletin. Yesterday was the 13th consecutive day of the 100-degree temperatures In most parts of the state. Purdue University estimated the drought had damaged Indiana's corn crop alone to the extent of $12,000,000 and that the oata yield would be only one-half of normal. . ? .. Departure of Ohio's heat wave left crop damage figured at $10,000,000 with rain still badly needed. Blighted corn fields were spotted throughout Nebraska. Heavy local wind and rain storms swept parts of Southern Illinois last night, damaging taller corn. Dr. J. R. Holbert, agronomist in charge of a federal corn breeding plot in central Illinois, estimated damage to the state's gen^i^corn crop had reached 50 per cent. Corn prices on the Chicago Board of Trade shot up the four cent limit yesterday and held at the top, despite heavy profit taking, as traders heard pessimistic reports of conditions throughout the corn-hog belt. had on the front page of yore paper last week in which you said that my son, scudd Clark, was sent up for 30 days for v. p. 1.. you i^ust appologize. he'1 got a new trial tne next day and 4 new witnesses JCo sware for him, and he come clew. kindly give it the same promience In yore colyums. yores trulie, , . mike Clark, rfd, corry spondent. Birds Pay Farmers For Feed, Protection Feed the birds Instead of the insects. suggests County Agent W. C. McCarle jr. If you help game and song birds through periods of ''slitt?picking" with food-producing plantings which also protect the soil against erosion, t ho birds will more than pay you for your trouble. , Birds save the fanner $350,000,000 annually, estimates the Bureau of Biological Survey. Yet enough Insects survive the bird banquet board to destroy 700 million . dollars worth of crops each year. The bird population can jp&dncroased, flays Mr. McCarley, on the authority of biologists, by leaving small patches of grain and planting shrubs to furnish' food for the birds during the winter. The erosion control pro* gram In South Carolina Includes the planting of patches that serve the two-] fold purpose of checking erosion and providing food for the birds during periods, when their supply tends to run short. I At this time of the year it is par-( tlcularly necessary to prevent fires that might destroy the young birds, the county agent warns.

The tree stood In the back of the Sondley lot and was one of the grove under which the meeting was held before the war, urglng the state to secede from the un> ion. This was the first meeting of the kind held In the state and since, the hill has been called "Secession Hill." Some years ago the Abbeville chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy erected a marker on the spot and two handbome columns of grey granite were put up at the be1 ginning of the street on Maggslne street, telling the story of the md?b?:> lng. - Lightning Kills 8parrows High Point, N. C., July 11.?Inulud*? ed among the freaks of a severe lightning storm which struck here last night was the electrocution of between fifty and sixty sparrows roost- ^ ing In a tree which was not struck by lightning. The sparrows were found underneath the large tree early this morning. Since the tree was not struok It Is believed the heavily charged air, coupled with the current given off by electric wires In the vicinity* resulted in the electrocution.
