The Democratic donkey came Into exiatence on January 10, 1870, when u cartoon appeared In Harper's. The Democrats ht111 were bitterly assailing Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton, though he hud died a short time before. Using the old fable of the mule defying the dead Hon, Nust's cartoon showed the Hon, labelled Stanton, beneath a tree, with a donkey lashing his heels at the carcass. The donkey emblem speedily found favor with the Democrats and they adopted it. The G. O. P. elephant first appeared In a cartoon printed In Harper's November 7, 1874. Its basis was another fable, of the donkey clothed In lion's skin, which brayed In the Jungle and frightened the elephant Into (lashing Into a trap set by a wily fox. The elephant as an emblem pleased Republicans, so it was adopted to represent their party. J. G. Vlnesett, one-armed member of the Cherokee county registration board, was beaten, lit a dispute about a cow which got out of her pasture Into an adjoining field, by John Davis, a neighbor whose home IB about 50 yards above the state line, in Cleveland county, North Carolina. When officers with a warrant for assault went for Davis, he refused to come over into this state without a requisition, and he was released on bond, pending extradition proceedings at u Raleigh.

From July. 37 through July 29, 406 club members from Kershaw, Saluda, Lexington, Abbeville, Oconee, Chester end Greenwood counties held their threeday camp. Among those to address the clubsters were: D. W. Watklns, director of the Extension Service; Dr. George H. Sherrttl, professor of economics; Dr. D. W. Daniel, dean of the School of General Science; Dr. W. H. Mills, professor of rural sociology; and B. E. Goodale, associate professor of dairying. The boys and girls enjoyed tours which carried them to Fort Rutledge, the college dairy barns, the poultry plant, and Old Stone church. Higher Egg Prices r May Be Expected Clemson, August 1.?A somewhat greater than usual riRe in egg prices during the latter half of the year is .foreseen by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics In its summer poultry and egg outlook which haa been received by the Clemson College Extension Service. Poultry prices, on the other bind, are expected to decline by more than the usual seasonal amount, because of the increased number of chicks hatched and the probability that the drought will lead farmers to sell more chickens than usual because of shorter feed supplies and higher feed prices. The drought Is viewed as p decisive factor in the egg and poultry outlook because of its effect on the feed situation. The condition foreseen by the agricultural economists will be applicable to South Caroling,' according to P. H. ^Gooding, extension poultryman. The stock o( eggs in cold storage Is very small, and this will tend to support egg prices this fall, Gooding declares. New Chapel At Citadel Preparations are being made for a large number of visitors to Charleston and to The Citadel, in connection with the laying of the cornerstone of the new chapel, which is to be held during the week of September 7, according to an announcement from the State's military college. The chapel is part of a $541,800 PWA project which is also providing a new messhall, and six four-family apartment buildings for the faculty. The cornerstone laying, under Masonic auspices, is most appropriate in view of the fact that the bi-centennlal meeting of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina is to be held In the chapel of The Citadel In May, 1937. For the first time In the history of The Citadel, the institution will have a separate building devoted to religious uses. In the past, a large room, in later years, the gymnasium has been used for Sunday services. The chapel will have a seating capacity of 1,350. which will rank it with the larger churches of Charleston.

"Lupo" Is a native of Italy and one of the small army of gangsters and" pirates who prey on the business of others in New York City. His tribute for "protection" ran into millions. It was charged that he had sent over three million dollars in cash to Italy with the purpose of retiring some day to a life of ease in his native land. And now he is the oldest public enemy in prison in the United States and appears to be doomed to spend the rest of his days in prison.

WHY Some Fish May Wander Great Distance Afield. Certain fish wander, according to marine biologists, because they are governed by a desire to obtain the most nutritious foods in the ocean accounts for their exceptional physical development compared with stay-at-home species.

After being marked on June 30th, when.captured in a bag net close to Bergen," Norway, it was re-taken a few weeks - later by a Scottish fisherman ofT the const of Montrose.

Washington Poet. "" 11 11 Red Cross Warns Against Sunstroke Washington, i> C.. Aug. 4. -With July setting a record of continuous high temperatures almost without precedent, and another mercury boosting month in the offing, the American Red Cross gives practical pointers in the avoidance of heat exhaustion and sunstroke. "Heat prostration and sunstroke often can be prevented If common sense "governs, the dally routine" during periods of excessive h^at," said Dr. William DeKleine, medical director qI the lied Cross, "and knowing what to do when a person has succumbed la of great Importance pending the arrival of a physician. "Sunstroke Is caused by direct, exposure to the sun's rays. Addiction to aloohoL'is frequently a contributing factor. "To prevent a sunstroke, protect the head and neck. Immediately upon noticing any of the symptoms, one should find a cool place to rest. "The first symptoms are usually pain in the hea<^ dizziness, oppression' and sometimes Vomiting. These symptoms develop during exposure and insensibility follows rapidly. The_j?kin is hot and dry and the face .flushed; the pulse Is rapid and full; th<Memperature is very high and the body Is usually relaxed although sometimes convulsions occur.

Apply wet cloths, Ice bag, etc., to the head and cool the body by placing cool water up to twenty mlnutds time with brisk rubbing of the limbs and trunk to stimulate circulation. Cold wet cloths and ice bags are also effective, as is wrapping the patient In a sheet and pouring on colA water every few minutes. "Give no stimulants and call a physician at once. "Heat exhaustion is caused both by direct exposure to the sun, and by indoor heat. Persons who have not been In good health and who are ,Intemperate are particularly subject.
