j annual reunion of tho Confederate
Veteruns and affiliated organisation
Thin Is the first time that the ReI

i and all Colorado Is making pre paraj
Hons for a Kraal event Copies of
the Trinidad Chronicle-News that have
j reached Lanc aster carried an article
1 about the hand cotnliiK out and Kuve
the hand a royal welcome in advance.
In addition to several military hands
from posts In or near Colorado the
famous Marine Hand from Washington,
the President's own will he there
and render dally concerts Captain
Tuylor Branson, director of the Marine
band, is to direct the playing of
all the hands In a massed concert,
music for which Is being sent J. Will
Proctor, director of the l.4incaater
Hand for rehearsal.
Programs for tho occasion state
' that there will he daily horse racing
and rodeo or round-up events and on
one day a barbecue of buffalo meat
will be served, the meat being provided
by the federal government. Dally
parades through the streets of Trinidad

Mr. Proctor has worked out several
new and Intricate figures for
the band to demonstrate Its inarching
ability among which are the letters
"U. C. v.", and "S-O-N-8," "T" and
"L."
It Is planned now to make the trip
by rail as special rates are being offered
by the railroads. Representatives
of several systems have contacted
the committee on arrangements
having learned through press reports
of the trip, which shows that Uincaster
Is already reaping the benefit of
this splendid advertising. Several
persons from over the Btate have
written to know If they may accompany
the hand In Its special car.
The committee reports that fine
progress is being made In raising the j
fundH for the trip and the people of
I^incaster are responding handsomely
to the appeal for funds. Donations
should be made through R. H. Billings,
treasurer.?I^ancaster News.
The surest protection against failure
is never to attempt to do anything.

Finds Sea Shells
Far From Coast
Orangeburg, July 15.?-Sea ahull#
found sixteen feet underground four

thai the Atlantic oceah covered
thai section hundreds of years ago
The discovery was made recently
by county workmen while erecting a
' bridge over Middle Fell hranoh near
I |he Five Chop road in the vicinity of
the home of Jerome M. Grumling
One citizen who Is sclengftcally ini
lined, said the ocean Is receding
' from the South Carolina coast at the
j rate of a foot a year. At this rate,
I with 5.USD feet to the mile, he estimated
it took the water 3i?t>,000 years
io recede from the area where the
.shells were found to Its present shore
line, he figured.
I ami Is C. Boone. county engineer,
told Thursday about finding the shells
and also spoke of relies of other times
that have been found from time to
time while roads and bridges wero
being built under his direction In various
sections of Orangeburg county.
Mr. Boone says the shells were
found scattered over a wide area, and
that some of them are the prettiest he
ever saw. They were found here and
there as the construction work proceeded
at a point sixteen feet below
the ground level.
A complete tomahawk was unearthed
between Branchvllle and Bowman
some time ago, and another was discovered
about three miles from
Rowesvllle. A large spear point about
(eight Inches long, was found underground
on the Bowman-Heevesville
road. A large number of arrowheads
have been found in various parts of
the county. These Instruments, It is
well known, were used by the Indians
who Inhabited this section.
Mr. Boone says his workmen found
part of the head of an animal near
the high hill at Early Branch on the
old Columbia road.
The engineer, was walking on the
extension of the main street of the
town of Elloree Just out of that town
some time ago. As he came to an object
In the road he kicked It. It was
found to be a petrified log. He loosed

TELEVISION IS NEXT DOOR
Will Soon Be Available To All Who
Want It.
In a few weeks, American television
| has lifted Its sights far beyond the
old horizon.
It was only two months ago that
television became a public Institution
with regular telecasts from Inside the
studio and out. Engineers admitted
then that there were wrinklers to iron
out (and there still are plenty of
them) but they felt that the way of
real progress was to start actual operations.
They've got results.
First they've dented (or perhaps
knocked into a cocked hatj the theory
on the "line of sight" range of the extremely
Bhort wave length used?
about five meterB or less. This theory
Is that such waves shoot off Into space
at the horizon forty to fifty miles
away from the source; in other words,
that-they-do-not follow the curvature
of the earth. I
Now there's a pile of evidence that
the waves follow the earth's surface
farther than expected, and that moderate
long distance reception, can be
accomplished.
Near Schenectady, N. Y., 130 miles
north, engineers of General Electric
who are preparing that city's first
television transmitter, have been tuning
in on NBC programs sent out by
the Empire State building station
VVXBS in New York City. They report
good reception despite the fact
that the special receiver set up is
situated 8.000 feet below the theoretical
line of sight to the transmitter.
From Meridian, Conn., about seventy-five
airline miles from New York,
came reports of satisfactory reception.
From Bridgeport, Conn., about fiftyfive
miles away, and from Westport,
Conn., approximately fifty miles, other
receivers have been operated with
much success on the WXBS programs:
But this isn't all. At Riverhead, L.
I., RCA engineers have studied transAtlantic
reception conditions by looking
at images that traveled 3,000 miles (
or more from London. The pictures
were rather poor, but nevertheless'
recognizable at times.
Engineers aren't jumping to conclu
slons. They say the conditions experienced
may be of a freakish seasonal
nature.
However, that may be, a prime problem
of national television may be
brought closer to a solution through
study of such reception.
ThiB is the question of station interconnection
of a network basis. Two
methods have been studied. One is
the coaxial cable, a special and very
expensive wire line designed for television.
The other la a radio relay
through special repeater stations on
ultra short waves.
If the television signal does get out
generally to greater distances, the
radio relay seem to offer a practical
method of hooking stations together
both from the economic and the engineering
standpoint. Relays could be
placed farther apart and be more or
less automatic.
A conference committee of the senate
and house agreed tentatively in
Washington, this week, one member <
reported, to eliminate from new social
security legislation a requirement that
states must contribute at least $10 &
month for eaoh needy aged person
given public assistance.
John Mlgliacco, 50, of Chicago, last
week, shot and killed an aged park
employe who, Mlgllacco said, slapped
his face in the locker room of the
Garfield park boathouse. The victim
waB Guetav Olson, 70, a veteran park
employe. Migliacco walked into the
park police headquarters, surrendered
a pistol and calmly announced: "A
man slapped at me and I Just shot
him." Olson was found dead, three
bullets from a .32 calibre pistol in his
body.
