FISHING BAIT Last week we enumerated natural bait floinmo.nly M?od for fresh water Ashing; today we continue the discussion. Keeping and rearing earthworms for halt?"Ksrthworms multiply by producing eggs which are laid in capsuses in the ground. The young become fully grown in' four or live month*. One method of rutluro is to sink into the 90II in some shady spot a box of suitable* size, usually not less than eighteen inches deep and of any desirable width. The top of the box should bo made hinged, or removable and placed from two to three inches below the surface of the surrounding soil. This box should he nearly tilled with rich, dark loam which should he kept quite moiMt, but not wet. as to much water will quickly kill earthworms. The worms may then be collectod and placed in this | box, and may or may not be covered ' with a layer of green sod. "By far the euslest and most convenient way to collect earthworms la to use a flashlight or lantern ut (light. They may be found then on the surface of ground wi^ich has been devoted for some years for sod purposes. The worms are usually much more numerous during the months of April, May and June, than any other time> although they may be easily brought to the surface at any season of the year, except winter, by thoroughly sprinkling the soil in the early evening. If food is provided for the worms in the box, they may be kept almost Indefinitely In such container without changiug the soil. They have been raised successfully by feeding ordinary mollaRses spread on one side of a gummy sack, which is then laid on the surfaco of the ground with the sticky Ride downward, and the hack of the bag sprinkled with water. Powdered bread crumbs and crumbled bard boiled eggs have also been used as food." Freshwater craw flali and shrimp can be kept alive In tanks, small pools, or wooden boxes which ere well supplied with running water. The best food for them is fresh meat fed in small pieces, but great care should be taken not to leave old and spoiled meat in the water for any length of time, as this will soon prove fatal. The boxes or other containers should not he over-crowded and should be cleaned often and the dead crawfish or shrimp thrown out, as they decay rapidly and will soon cause the death of the healthy ones. Ilellgramltes?Those are the larval form of the Dobson fly (Corydalis cornutu). They are found under stones in swift streams and are an excellent bait for bass. Hellgfdmlte scan be kept alive for a considerable time in floating boxes or in wet grass. ^ Glow-worms?The term glow-worm 1h applied to the wingless female beetles of the family I/ampridae. They are nocturnal In habit and feed upon smaller insects and worms. They can be kept alive in loose, damp earth, covered with moist grass and kept In a cool place. Preserving minnows for halt?Tako one part of formalin to 29 parts of water, place the minnows In this solution in a tightly closed jar or bottle and keep in the dark until they are to be used. In this way they will re-, tain their colors and silvery hues better than if in the light. When about to use the bait, soak It In fresh water to remove the formalin. A few drops of oil of rhodium may then be placed on the minnow to disguise the pungent odor of formalin that may remain in the flsh after soaking. The oil of rhodium is said to be attractive to liah. but. be that as it may, it does not repel them as the formalin is likely to do.?United States Bureau of Fisheries circular. GOVERNOR MADE MISTAKE SAYS COLLETON SENATOR \Viilt?rboro, July 17.?Senator H. M. .Icfferlea said today Governor Olln I). Johnston made "a wave mistake*' In asserting that the state highway department had built a 12-mile road to the hunting preserve of Col. H. G. Klbert in Colleton county. The Cojleton senator said the road was constructed ns a federal relief project, and that the county paid the highway department "the full rental contract price" for road machinery leased for the construction. His statement followed an assertion of the governor at ft political rally at Kuffin that the highway department had huilt the road as a favor to Klbert, wealthy New York and a law client of the senator. Jefferies said. "1 regret Very much that local self-seeking politicians in Colleton county caused his excellency, the governor, to make the grave mistake of charging the stale highway department with having constructed a road to the hunting preserve of Col. Klbert, when as a matter of fact, the state highway department has not constructed such a road nor has It had anything to do with the building of a county road which does pass through the property of Col. Klbert on the way to the very fertile sea islands along' the coast of Colleton county." The section opened up. by the road is so important that the countv is now building a "rather expensive" PWA bridge across the Ashopoo river, at the end of the road, to replace an antiquated ferry. Jefferies continued. He termed Elbert "one of the heaviest taxpayers" in the county and said ho and other northern residents often had paid their taxes in advance when told by the senator that county fuudp were low. These same men bought state notes at par several years ago, tie added, so Colleton teachers could be paid in cash. He Learned Differently Over In St. Ixmis a tipsy driver j crashed Into a telegraph pole. Wires.! pole, and everything enme tumbling about his ears. They found him tinconscious in the wreckage, but as they were untangling him he reached out feebly fingered the wires, and murmered softly "Thank heaven, I'm all right thiol ? they've given me a harp." Rotten Eggs 8elzed Columbia. June 16.?Chief .T. H. Jeanes disclosed tonight that a state constable confiscated four dozen rotten eggs before a political rally at Rufftn. ' Jeanes said Constable T. H. Hydride. who lires nearby, took the eggs from a group of persons who said they were Intended for George Bell , Tttnmennan. state highway chairman. BIBLE STORIES HELD FIGURES OF SPEECH T Wellington, July 11.?The tale of the whale swallowing Jonah, and many other Biblical stories have been wrongly translated, according to Dr. George M. Lam.su, ethnologist and native of Syria who learned in childhood."the ancient Hebrew spoken by < 'hrlst. In his book, "Gospel Light." Dr. Lanisa declares previous translators of the Bible did not know enough aboijj ancient Hebrew, or Aramaic, to recognize the meaning of idioms and figures-of-speech used the time of Christ. "Apparently they knew no more about it than I knew of your American sport language," he says. "I once mourned to myself over the passing of one of baseball's heroes when 1 read that 'Babe Ruth died on third.' " Such a misinterpretation Is responsible for the Biblical story of Jonah and the whale, Dr. Lamsa points out "Today when you say that a man has hard luck you say that he is 'down and out' or is 'in the doghouse.' The ancient Hebrew said that a man In' similar circumstances was 'In the whale' and to emphasize how bad oft lie was. the phrase used was "in the belly of the whale.' " , The story of the wedding at Cana ' lias also been twisted to make It appear that Christ changed water Into wine, he says. "The eastern understanding of the wording of the text of this miracle puts it in an entirely new light. One must understand the ceremony of an eastern wedding to understand the miracle. It lasts from 3 to 7 days and the guests have to be drunk on the first day. Now a religious man attending an eastern wedding, for instance a Rabbi, such as Christ was, is supposed to discourage the guests from drinking too much wine and to insist that they drink water, to scold and counsel them. "Jesus gave them water and no doubt harangued the guosts and counseled them, while the statement of the best man that "This Is the best wine' referred to plain water." I)r. John P. Harrington, Smithsonian Institution scientist and language authority, lends the weight of his reputation to Dr. Lamsa's interpretations, doclaring he "has given to the American people and the western world A key to the sculptures which is based on science and truth." Dr. I^unsa, writes Dr. Harrington in the foreword to "Gospel Light," la one of the few flersons In the world who speaks the anctent Hebrew tongue and dialect which Christ used and is therefore well qualified to interpret what Christ rehlly meant He has studied the Bible for thirty years, and is in as dead earnest as the men who wrote it" ^ ^ v \-? > * , L V. Av . , - ~ - School Teacher Loses In Court * -V- ' I I I L, % A Darlington county school teacher, who, after getting married, waa refuted the right to teach in the Branchvllle tchoois, and who waa awarded 4 verdict of $676 for alleged breach of contract, loat her case yesterday morning, when the supreme court wung Into action. It reverted the findings of the lower court and held that a verdict should have been directed for the school board. The case was that of Burnell Lenafr Collins Dulcet, respondent, against Gary Smoak, Edgar Hutto and Marlon Byrd, members of the board of trustees of district No. 18. The record set forth that in April, 1935, a faculty was elected for the Branchville schools, and a motion was made and passed providing that marriage of a woman teacher would disqualify her to teach In the Branchville school. ^ The plaintiff, who before marriage was Burnelle I^enalre Collins, was elected to teach the sixth grade. The superintendent, N. L. Lynch, was instructed to notify the teachers of their election and of the condition relative to the marriage of women teachers. In July, 1936, the record sets forth the teacher was married and she later was notified her marriage constituted breach of contract, and disqualified her to teach in the school and she alleged she was denied the right to teach in that school. Another teacher was elected in her place. Alleging breach of contract, the teacher brought suit for damages, holding that she was not> officially notified of the condition of employment, though she said she had learned of it unofficially. There was introduced the minutes of the school board meeting to show she had been elected to the school faculty at a certain salary. The school board entered a general denial of the allegaI tions and contended her marriage under the board's regulations had disqualified her to teach. The court,-in its opinion, written by E. L. Fishburne, said that the teacher must abide by the minutes of the school board meting, as introduced in the hearing of the case. The plaintiff could not "carve out" the part of the minutes which set forth tin- reelection and salary and reject the balance, part of which contained the condition relative to marriage, the court said. Applying the rules of evidence the court, said "a verdict should have been directed for the defendant (school board). She (the teacher) is bound by this condition as a part of the contract which she entered into and which she breached by later entering Into the marriage relation, subsequent to such contract and pi ior to the commencement of the school term. There was no Issue of fact to submit to the jury." Findings of the lower court were reversed and the case was remanded for entry of judgment In favor of the school board. Society Demands Relief For Ducks New York, July 19.?Drought relief for wild ducks, In the form of a year's reprieve from hunting, was demanded here today by the National Association of Audubon Societies, with a warning that unless there Is a cessation In killing the water-fowl may go the way of western cattle herds, but with no similar hope of replacement. "The vigorous drought-relief measures being undertaken by the Administration on behalf of man and domestic stock will undobutedly relieve their distress." the statement said, "but what of the wild life of the area ?a natural resource worth many millions of dollars? The worst drought conditions have blanketed the very prairie states In which the United States raises most of its wild ducks, and the suffering among them has been extreme. "For years conservationists have been concerned over the diminution of our water-fowl. Grazing, drainage, overshooting, and recent dry years have reduced their numbers until some species are In grave danger of extermination. The losses occasioned by this new catastrophe can not be repaired until better breeding seasons combined with requisite limitations of kill havo made it possible for the birds to increase their numbers. "We can't replace the ducks that are gone," the statement concluded. "Only ducks can do this. We can, however, reduce the depletion?by closing the shooting season for a year, thmpacelieving an enormous drain on our water-fowl resources." ** Macon. Ga., was bit by a big atorm, with high wind and torrents of rain and hall, accompanied by severe lightning. Several houses collapsed and large trees were uprooted. It rained nearly five Inches In four : hours, and one part of town waa flooded fourteen feet deep. t ?> ' Jk ANNOUNCEMENTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CONOREE?

Your suppuit win ^ Linotype Invented Over 50 Years Ago N.w York. July IsT-The 8c,?0 to Park row newspaper row to old tlau newspaper men?50 yearn aKu and over. 0 It is July 3, 1886. In the compoelng room of the New York Tribune a man alta down before a strange monster of machine and begins to work an alphabetical key board. Brest matrices with type char actere swing in a jangle of metalie sound; a depressed lever sends them dipping ipto a pot of molten leada Una of type appears as though by magic and the typo characters go back to their places. Again the pro. cedure is repeated and again the i|Q, of type appears. A revolution In newspaper publishing has taken place, guided by the hands of John T. Miller, the first op. erator of the first linotype machine July 3, 1886, part of the type for the New York Tribune was set by linotype and it marked the end of typo setting by hand sq far as newspapers were concerned. The innovation was hailed as the second greatest event In the history of printing, the first being invention of movable type. : The linotype enabled one man to cobpose as many lines as five or six compositors setting type by hand. It speeded up, lessoned the cost and increased the amount of printing of all kinds?newspapers, "magazines, and books. In 1888 the number of persons employed' in the graphic arts in the United States was 136,836, and in 1930 the number had grown to o27 390. For 400 years all type had been set by hand. The dream of men who isioned a machine to speed up printing yet lessen costs seemed fated to j failure. The quest was pushed, however, and the emergence on the scene of an immigrant German Inventor, named Ottmar Mergenthaler back by a group of men who believed and never let their belief waver turned the j title. , - In 1883 he invented a rotary indenting machine, a year later it was * improved. In 1885 came the first band machine with a metal pot to cast slugs but great aa this advance was greater still was the blower machine which followed in 1886. Thia proved to be the first practical linotype machine. ; ' )' The young man who operated that I machine in the composing room of the Tribune is still in the newspaper game. For thirty years Miller continued to operate a linotype, saw the march of the improved models, clicked out miles of type. Today he is in the employe of the New York Hen aid-Tribune as a proof reader, still close to the** grinding, clicking machines he knew so well. *^)apan Hunts Bootleggers j Tokyo, July 16.?Japan, which never has had prohibition, nevertheless has I its bootleggers problem.
