We are entirely unable to answer this question, but wo do believe politics is getting to be more and more of a fine art. and it takes people of more acumen to play at it successfully than the case formerly. ?Chester Reporter. An Indian Mound Contains Relics Residents of Aiken county are taking unusual interest in the excavation of an Indian mound on Stallings Island in the Savaynah River at Steves Creek, where a WPA crew has found two perfect Indian skeletons, pottery, and several inklings as to just how the natives lived. In fact, heretofore unknown facts about the. history of aborigines of that section may be brought to light at the mound. Strangely marked pottery, never before found in the area, might contribute much to writing an accurate history of pre historic mart in this region. For a month a WPA crew, under the supervision of Paul M. Myers, has been excavating the mound. Sponsors of the project are the University of Georgia and the Georgia State Department of natural resources, Mr. Myers says that he is interested in exploring all sections where Indians had burial ground? and has announced that he IntendB to excavate other sections around the mound, which for years has been a haven for seekers of arrow heads and pottery. One skeleton was of a- woman, the other of a rpan. The man on a level above the woman. Around the skeletons were no markings, so that the time of burial cannot be determined. However, Mr. Myers declared the skeletons date back to before 1492. In the United States, the average height for men is 5 feet 8 Inches, or four inches taller than that of the average American woman.

SALT WILL RESTRAIN CANNIBAL POULTRY Clemson, Sept. 14.?If mature hens and pullets are Inclined to become cannibals, ?ry the Halt cure, says County Agent McCarley, adding that management practices hucIi as providing amplo feeding space, dark nests, and green ranges are helpful. Sometimes the birds develop a tendency to pull feathers and pick one another, and may pick one another to death. This condition Is usually found where the birds are kept confined to the house, but 1* some cases it develops when they nre -r*S on range, the agent explains. "Recent experiments indicate that (his picking can bo prevented by Increasing the salt content of the ration. Hut It Is well to remember that too much salt may kill the chickens. Where birds are picking one another badly, as much as four pounds of salt may bo added to each 100 pounds of ??? mash. This should not be fed many days, however, before the salt content *** ^ Is reduced to one pound or 1 1-2 pounds to each 100 pounds of mash. Salt may not prevent cannibalism entirely, but Indications are that It surely helps." V In Three Great Divisions the ^ TbrfTfae'Tbtpeddfkif k Arrives/ j Three entirely new lines . .
