ON COUNTERFfIT CHARGE
Three local youths wore taken to
the Sumter county Jail Sunday to
trial at tbe fMeral cpurt on a
charge In connection with the circulation
of counterfeit coins In this
The three," Harry Smith, Marion
Way, and Herman Chestnut, offered
guilty pleas on Saturday afternoon
before United States Commissioner
D. Herber Dantzler to a charge of
having in their possession and passing
counterfeit coins knowing them to
be counterfeit and with intent to defraud.
i
The three were bound over for a
hearing before a federal grand jury
and bond In the sum of $3,000 was
fixed as to each. They were unable
. to furnish bail and were temporarily
committed to the city jail. A deputy
from the office of the United States
Marshal in Charleston arrived in the
city Sunday and transferred them to
the Sumter county jail.
Smith and Way were taken into
custody by local officers on last
Thursday afternoon. The officers
were investigating a report of the
appearance of counterfeit half dollars
in the city. When the two were
apprehended, officers said they found
more than 60 of the bogus half dollars
on the boys. .
Officers stated that the two claimed
to have found the coins in a sack
near the Riverside playground. They
maintained this story until Saturday.
Friday an agent of the federal bureau
of investigation at Charlotte
reached the city to aid local police
in the ease.
Shortly after hiB arrival, the third
of the trio, Chestnqt was taken into
custody. 'i' .. .
Officers Saturday afternoon said the
three had confessed to the charge.?

NEGRO MAKE8 AMEND8
FOR HER WRONG DEED
A hundrded dollars for a brood of
chickens is a mighty lot.of money,
especially when the chickens laid no
claim to any long line of aristocratid
ancestry. However, when one's conscience
continues to lash for a wrong
doing, and that lashing is unceasing
for more than a quarter of a century,
a hundred dollars is regarded as a
small price to pay to obtain ease of
mind and forgiveness from the person
against whom' the wrong deed was
committed.
At least this seems to be the way
a negro woman feels about the situation,
and she has just sought forgiveness
at the hands of David Dantzler,
a farmer of the Parler section.
It all happened more than thirty
years ago, and no doubt Mr. Dantzler
had long since dismissed the incident
from his mind.
Within the past several days Mr.
Dantzler received a letter mailed In
New York state and it read as follows:
? *
- "I know that you are surprised to
| hear from me, hut when it came to
my mind that 36 years ago I treated
you wrong, and the Lord since, has
forgiven me, I had to ask you to fori
give me for some chickens I had.
taken from you. I don't know, how
many there were, but they were still
following their mother.
"Now I am sending a hundred dollars
and asking you to' forgive me
and write and let me know when you
get it, please. I want you please to
forgive me, I can't rest."?Orangeburg

( How Lye Softens Water
Without Harmful Results
About the cheapest and most effective
softener for hard water Is high
grade pure lye. Hard water carefully
softened In this way mav he used
without harmful results for almost anything
from bathing the bnby to laundering
delicate fabrics, says Pathfinder
Mngnzlqe.
Dissolve a can of lye In two pints
of water In an enamel or stone container,
being careful to avoid the
fumes. As soon as the solution has
stopped fuming stir it to prevent the
lye from settling. One tablespoon of
solution Is added to each gallon of
water to be softened which must then
stand for three days.'If too much lye
Is added It will irritate the skin and
weaken fabrics. Water may be easily
tested by inserting a small strip of
red litmus paper (inexpensive and sold
at drugstores) In the water. If the paper
turns blue add more water until
the paper no longer chnnges color.
How Fashions Were Made
Many famous fashions owq their origin
to the endeavor to conceal the
personal defect or deformity of some
distinguished leader of society, states
a correspondent In Pearson's London
Weekly. Patches were invented in England
in the reign of Edward VI by a
foreign lady?to cover a wen on her
neck. Full-bottomed wigs fvere devised
i by an ingenious French barber to con- 1
ceal a hump on the shoulder of the
Dauphin. Charles VII of France Introduced
long coats to hide his ugly legs.
Shoes with very long points, fully two
feet in length, were Invented by Henry
Plantagenet, duke of Anjou, to conceal
the malformation of one foot.
. And when Frances I was obliged to
wear his hair short owing to a head
wound, short hair at once became the
fashion, at court,

How to Measure With Teaspoon
How many housewives or cooks could
follow the Instructions of their favorite
recipes If all their ordinary measuring
utensils except a teaspoon should disappear?
Such a disaster Is not likely
1 to occur, of course, but Just to be on
the safe side here arc the approximate
measuring values based on the
standard medical tablespoon which
holds exactly half an ounce, .according
to Pathfinder Magazine: A tablespoon '
i equnls three teaspoons; eight tablespoons
equals a half cup (or gill);
two cups make one pint; nnd a pinch
or dash of seasoning may be anything
less than one-elglith teaspoon, accord!
lug t^ihe taste of the cook.
How to Taach Parrots
The fifiest talker of all talking birds
Is the gray parrot from Africa. He not
only has the ability to say words and
sentences, but will pick vt|?, very easily
popular tunes, whistle alid Imitate any
other animals around him. The best
way to teach is to say over and over
the sentence you desire them to repent.'
The time considered by many as the
most favorable Is after a good feed
and" rest period.

i How Stratosphere Is Recognised
The stratosphere Is recognized mainly
by the action of the temperature.
Atmosphere in which the temperature
falls with Increasing height Is called
the, troposphere and. the point where
the sudden change in temperature
lapses is known as the tropopausc.
Above this is the stratosphere where
the temperature Is either constant or
changes slowly with increasing height.
\ How Often Earthquakes Occur
TJie weather bureau says that a
serious earthquake causing more of
less damage to property, And some )oa*
of life, does not occur more- often than
once In Jen years, perhaps. The really
severe quakes are less frequent still?
possibly one in 50 years, on the average.

NEWSPAPERS HAD HUNDRED8 OF
U8E8 LONG, LONG AGO
..When i wan H boy; newspapers
served many, many purposes other
than to be read. Any kind of paper
wuh scarce. Very few merchants sold
any more goods than they Could wrap
?|UiL Mitt h|-weekly newapupor that 1
they took, After the folks got thru
reading it, it became wrapping paper
OeLuxe.
..lu took The Atlanta Constitution
(weekly). Jt always carried from 8
to 10 pages of current news, feature
stories, continued stories, and some
advertising, but not much. That was
the only and all the paper' of any
kind that ever came Into our home.
There were no magazines then, so lar
as we knew; and catalogues were
unknown. That old weekly Constitution
went a long way In those days.
After those persons In the house
who could read had read It 3 or 4
times, and the younguns had looked
at all of the pictures in it, then it

temUy. The girls curled their hair
a'ter slightly wetting it with
sweeteped b (molasses) water. Wo
made taperp from it to light the lamp
with (we had only l tin lamp); these
tapers were put in ft little pasteboard
receptacle on the fire board.
..We made fly brushes from the full
Issue, wrapped around* a long cane
handle; the paper was slltted, and
about every 10 minutes, a silt of paper
would fall In the gravy or bowl
of buttermilk. It was fished out like
other foreign insects were fished, and
we et right on. Pa wore an Issue
of this paper in his shirt?from next
to his chest during cold weather. In
Tact, the Constitution constituted

..Ma and the girls used It to qut patterns
for dresses, bonnets, and so
forth. It was also scallopped beautifully
and put on the mantleboard
(Areboard then) and hung over about
6 inches with the clock sitting In the
middle of the tbusly trimmed household
necessity. We used it to dip
into the 'lasses candy pan while It
was Idling to see If It was done
enough to pull. When we got enoughor
it ahead; we papered part of a wall
somewhere in the house.
..When our shoe-soles got thin
those of us who had shoes . . . would
cut pieces the size and the shape of
our feet and wear them in our shoes
next to our holey sox, if any box at
all were worn. 'We wrapped butter
in this paper when we sold an occasional
pound at the country store. We
used it for gun wadding when we
went hunting with our oki muzzleloader.
We chewed it when we couldn
t get hold to aiyr sweet gum to chew.
We put it under cakes and custards
to keep them from sticking to the
pan while being baked. That's about
all we ever used -that good old weekly
Constitution for, except we did
keep the churn that sat by the fireplace
(till the milk turned)- covered
with the first page.

our county where plenty rain fell,

"potatoes newer sprouted, and the
ground was too dry and too hard to

UP to the goverment.
. .moRt of the farmers have give up
all hopes of a crop, and are casting
about for something else to do till the
rental and parrity and drowth monney
begins to flow, hoss-shoe pitching
seems to be the leading sport at this
rlting, and it lasts till the shade passes
away and-the sun get* too hot for

r.we were afeared that it was going
to rain in our midst about 3 weeks
go; this would of benn in time for
feed crops, but as luck would have It,
the clouds all blowed away and. the
lightning quit flashing and the sun

|Livestock Guide For
Attention In August
CloniHon. Aug. 8.-?Proper attention
to their livestock enterprise* will hulp
keep farmers busy In August, according
to extension livestock men, who
give these important reminders:
Animal Husbandry?Pull-feed a 11
hogs intended for September market.
Turn hogs on cqrn when it is in the
glazed stage. Remove the bull from
ttife cow pasture. Give sheep a fresh
pasture to control parasites and encourage
early breeders. See that all
clusses of livestock have shade and
fresh water. Reserve enough permanent
pasture to carry the beef cattle
until November or December, Observe
the herds for screw worm infestation
and give treatment If necessary.
Dairying?Mow pastures to keep
grasses tender and to kill weeds.
^ Maintain milk flow by temporary grazing
of Sudan grass or pearl millet or
by cutting green feed. Prepare for
heavy fall seeding of barley, oats,
and rye for both grazing and wlhter
fgiain to make up for corn shortage.
| Seed liberal acreage of oats and vetch
J for roughage. Keep milk products
clean and cool and deliver promptly.
I lan for trench silo construction.
I Watch corn for silage and cut at proper
stage.
Poultry?Do not force the pullets
into production too early. Clean and
disinfect the laying houses before putting
the new pullets in theirt. Free
pullets from internal and external parasites
before housing. Cull the nonlaying
hens.
FISH HAVE HARD LIFE
IN MUDDIED 8TREAM8
Thousands of fishing sites that once
were the Joy of fishermen will provide
less sport and yield fewer fish
this year than ever before as a result
of soil erosion, says E. G. Holt,
head of the wildlife section of the
Soil Conservation Service.
"In all parts of the country, muddy
waters and silt are diminishing the
stock offish," he said. "The reason
is plain. Eggs laid by game fish cannot
survive when streams are full of
mud and erosion debris. Also, blanketing
of the bottoms of streams with
ooze and silt is destructive to food
supplies, such as insect larvae, worms
and small plants."
The decreased supply of game fish
in inland streams and their tributaries
has not come about suddenly. Unwise
use of the land over a period of
ydhrs, resulting in an excessive runoff
of rain-water, which washed tons
or soil info~the streams, has been
steadily cutting down the rate of propagation.
Mr. Holt pointed out another reason
why soil erosion can be blamed
for spoiling once-popular fishing locations.
Many species of fish - will
thrive onljr in relatively deep, clear,
running water, and when silt fills
stream channels the fish leave, because
they cannot live in the sluggish,
muddy waters of shallow streams.
Until there is more general control
of soil erosion fishing conditions
will not improve greatly," he said
"Unless silting of stream channels is
stopped, there is no Reason to expect
that the fish can be brought back And
the stock restored."?United States
Department of Agriculture.
Spanish rebel leaders have issued
orders to their men, to "cut off the
heads of all communists," said a Reuter

said they would all be dead by Wednesday.

Producers Urged \
To Conserve Seed
With a^ods of many soil- conserving
uopa uearjy ready r<u harvest, it g ^
in?e for South Carolina farmers who
jxpoct to tako part In the AgrlculturU
Conservation program in 1937 to
nake ^luna for conserving seed supplies
for ub? next year, County Farm
igont W. C. MeCarley adviaea.
"The farmer who aavea an ample
upply of legume and grass aeeda thia
all will bo in a better pouitlon to
ake part in a conservation program >
n 1037," the agent asserts.
Not only will the effects of drought
bo reflected in tho. supply of seed,
but the need for those crops will bo
greater next year because of the
irought.
When it is practicable for farmers
,0 harvest the seeds of soil-conserving
brops such as cowpoas, soybeans, oroolariu,
velvet beans, etc., they may
lot only supply their own needs but
ilso those of their neighbors, Mr. MeCarley
says. On jthe other hand, he
[joints out that in somo cases where a
armor does not have sufficient acreige
in soll-conserying crops to yield
mough seeds for his own uses, he
nay be able to add to his supply by
harvesting his neighbor's seeds on
iharcB.
Mr. MeCarley adds that county
igents, extension agronomists, and
jther qualified Individuals will be
Jlad to give advice on the seed situation
in tho state and bow to harvest,
