Frequent visits will be made to each of the five schools select ed in the county by the local, district and State Farm Demonstration agents, and in addition to these visits, expert agriculturists will pay frequent visits from the Federal Department of Agri culture and Professors from State ex perimental farms and agricultural col leges will make calls at each of these schools.

M., which the trustees of the rural schools who are interested in the proposition are cordially invited to attend. Mr. W. W. Long, the State agent, or Mr. Elliott, the district agent, will be present at the meeting and explain the details, so that those present may be made thoroughly familiar with the idea.

NO. 40 BLEASE REFUSED TO GRANT REQUISITION Papers in M. C. Dowling's Case Re turned.—Cause* Surprise. “Returned with my compliments.’’ According to what appears to be re liable report, that is the endorsement of the governor of South Carolina, subscribed air~~the back of Governor Joseph M. Brown’s requisition for the return of Moye C. Dowling to Rich mond County, Georgia, to stand trial. The nature of the endorsement can’t be verified, but the fact has been veri fied from Atlanta that “Governor Blease turned the requisition down cold.” That is, the governor of South Carolina has sought in this manner, by returning the papers, to “refuse to do business with Governor Brown,” as was his declaration some time ago. This information, however, was quite a surprise to attorneys interested in both the civil and criminal branches of the cases growing out of the ex plosion of the Citizens Bank case in Augusta some time ago. Moye C. Dowling, who was cashier of the in stitution, it will be recalled, was in dicted, with others, in the criminal branch of the court after the civil ac tion had been instituted for the re covery of money of the depositors Requisition was asked for Dowling, who is a resident of F'airfax, S C , where he is now m business The requisition was fought, dates for a hearing were set on two occasions, and |M>st|H>ned by tFu- governor of South ( arolma twu«\ oti account of the illness of one of iHiwImg s attor ney s I i’?il last n.ght So:!, itor Flanklm and other attorney s interested in the case w «• re of tFie opinion they t* Iit-y rd the certain knowledge, that the governor of South Carolina attll had the paiK-n and was merely waiting for the ill attorney in tsouth Carolina to signify a time when he would be ready for a hearing Indeesl.

July 3 WINTHROP SCHOLARSHIP EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR Thirteen Yownf Ladies of Barn wall County Stood Faawuaabon. Seventeen young ladies, represent ing eight towns in the county, stood the Wmthrop College examinations con ducted by Superintendent Horace J. Crouch at the Court House Friday. Of this number, thirteen were contest ants for the free scholarship to which this county is entitled, while four stood the entrance examination. So charm ing were the applicants and so evident was their desire to win the prize that it is to be regretted that out of the thir teen there can be only one “lucky” girl. The other twelve, who must necessarily be disappainted, should charge their failure against the thirteen “hoodoo” and try again when the next vacancy occurs. Those who stood the examination were: Misses Willie Laurie Best, Lucile Stoney, Mae Best, Sara Alva All, Willie Frances Bryan and Mamie Gaulden Bryan, of Allendale; Annie Lily Rich ardson, of Barnwell; Mary L. Ray and Nellie Hair, of Blackville; Ethel M. Green, Cora E.

To say that the weather of the pnst week has been hot is putting the matter mildly. Town residents have staled in the intense heat and in the country where there has been a lack of rain the crops looked parched. Last Thursday a street thermometer in BdrnweH reached the century mark at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This is said to be the hottest day of the year, although Sun day was not much better. On that day the official thermometers in Colmn- biaand Augusta registered 100. No relief is promised by the weather bureau, except from local thunder showers, so there is nothing to do but grin and bear it, unless one happens te be of the favored few that are able te drop business and seek pleasure aad comfort on the seashore or in the mountains.
