The groaning of His people had already stirred God's gracious and tender heart. But He waited to hear their cry before He answered. Such is the law of prayer. May we not forget it. Far too often we turn to everyone and everything else, and finally, in desperation, to God. Why not turn to Him first? Does God hear and answer prayer? Yes, but remember that real prayer is the cry of faith coming from the heart of an obedient child. God may answer other prayers, but He always answers such a prayer. His answer may not be in accord with our opinion of what it should be, for His wisdom is infinite. He knows better than we what the answer should be. Let us trust thex Judge of all the earth to do right s (Gen. 18:25). i?urel,> ANNOUNCEMENTS Grace Episcopal Church The services on Sunday will be of a special character.

Places throughout the County dispensing beer and wine have been carefully patrolled, and through the efforts of the law-enforcement officers of the County 'licenses of a number of dealers have been revoked for abuse of privileges given them. We have confined our activities to rural sections of the County, leaving to the Police Departments of the different municipalities of the County the duty of policing their respective cities and towns. The Sheriff's office has endeavored to vigorously enforce the law against vagrancy, passed at the last session of the General Assembly, which requires able-bodied males between the ages of sixteen and sixty to work at least five days each week. By virtue of this law and through our efforts in enforcing It, vagrancy is on the wane in Kershaw County, as evidenced from reports by farmers and other employers of labor over the County. '' I wish to publicly thank Mr. C. L. McKinnon. one of the Governor's officers, for the splendid cooperation he has given the law-enforcement officers in- this County. He has done a good deal of work In the County and has responded vigorously each time we have called upon him. We are glad to welcome all law-enforcement agencies coming into the County to work and we are glad for them to come, whether with or without knowledge of the Sheriff's office, and I promise for all the law-enforcement officers of Kershaw County full cooperation with any lawful law-enforcement agency finding occasion to pursue Its work with.n the County. I beg to report that we have endeavored to collect all tax executions placed In the hands of the Sheriff, wherever .possible without selling the property of the taxpayers, and we are glad to be able to sriiy that during the period from July 1, 1942, to date, through our efforts delinquent taxes in this County have been reduced from 1125,493.18 to $100,466.79. Jt has been my policy not to sell property for taxes when It was htimanly possible to avoid It. The reduction In the delinquent taxes in this County, above mentioned, testifies to the success of that policy. Delinquencies (or certainly by far the greater part thereof) will have been liquidated by the time of the next report of this office, one year from date, even If It becomes necessary to soli property In isolated Instances where we are unable to get cooperation. Respectfully submitted, J. H. McLeod, Sheriff of Kershaw County. In a normal lifetime, a person's eyelids open and close a quarter of a million times. Gosh! Jones Has Real Freak Vine; Spuds and Tomatoes Potatoes In Roots and Vines? "Tommies" On Vine. If we hadn't seen It we might feel skeptical about it but the truth of the matter is that a vine that waa taken from the garden of |l. L. '"Bob" McCasklU is a real freak of nature. The leaven are those of the Irish potato vine and at the base of the vine are Irish potatoes but fajrthor up on the vine and in a profusion of quantity are?believe it or not?tomatoes. This freak of nature, if tt may bo termed, was on e/hibltlon at the police bOoth on tho corner of Broad and Dekalb streets Tuesday morning with Casey Jonus, the horticultural expert of the police department, lecturing on the why and wherefor of this potato-tomato vine. Several people who are close followers of Emily Post and the Webster Dictionary remarked upon the fact that Officer Jones was right up to the minute on his pronunciation of potato and tomato. Mr. Jones pronounced them exactly alike in that the first syllable of one was given as "poe" and the first syllable of the other was "toe." And the sdcond syllable of each word waH much nlike, one being like "tay" and the other "may," and the third of each was alike, being "toe" in sound effect. ! Replant the Yietory Garden The drought has ruined our crops In some sections.

It will take 8 4 to 1 pound of seed for each 100-foot row, mixed well with the soil after apply- 1 Ing, will be good.
