MELON GROWERS MEET. Farmers of Four Counties Meet to Organize Marketing Bureau. Quite an enthusiastic meeting of produce growers from Allendale. Barnwell, Bamberg, and Hampton counties met in Fairfax on last Wednesday, May 11, to organize a bureau for the purpose of giving to farmers better marketing conditions for the products of this county. Another meeting to perfect the plans of -'-i-? ?in iw i-.rt'M of TT'oir tne association win uc ncm ?.<. - ? fax on May 2-">, just after the conclusion of a membership campaign that the organization plans to begin on next Monday, May 16. At that time definite plans will be perfected and permanent officers elected by the association to serve the following year. The meeting at Fairfax on Wednesday was only a temporary organization. The county agent of Allendale county, Z. D. Roberston, presided at I the meeting. The morning session f K was taken up with the discussion of different phases of the work of the organization. W. W. Long, of Clemson, who was to have addressed the meeting was unable to come on account of a serious accident suffered "by his wife and necessitated her removal to the hospital. District Agent Johnson was present. He made a short talk on the advantages of such organizations to the farmers interested in a product. After Mr. Johnson's talk the meeting was thrown open for a general discussion. The question of contracts came up and was discussed from all angles. The bone of contention was the idea of pooling, or the stipulation in the proposed contract that all melons be lumped according to size, condition and quality. It seemed to nave oeeu & ihislciacu idea that all melons regardless of these conditions would be pooled and the price of all be the same. This was obviously objected* to strongly because of the fact that it would have f a tendency to destroy the incentive to grow better stock of produce. The fact was brought out however that this was not the case but that the principle of pooling would be guided entirely by the size, quality and condition of the product, and products only of the same grade would be pooled. (As a result of the contract discussion a committee on contracts was appointed at the morning session consisting of the members of the Fairfax organization of last year, Newton Loadholt, Geo. D. Sanders, and J. F. Lightsey, and, in addition, Barney Owens. Dunbarton; J. D. Brabham, Bamberg, ancl R. H. Walker, Appleton. This committee met and went over the situation and reported their conclusions at the after noon session. The contract adopted will be placed in the hands of the printers at once and will be ready for distribution in a very short while.

This committee will have charge of the membership drive that will begin on next Monday as stated. A handbook consisting of a copy of the contract and other information in regard to the organization is now in the hands of the printers and will be ready for distribution when the drive for new members begins. A large membership is necessary to the real success of the organization and it is the hope of the association to sign up every melon grower in this section, and they ask the cooperation of everyone when their drive begins.?Allendale Citizen.

Paris?The Abbe Moreux, a leading French scientist and director of Bourges observatory, predicts that the next 14 years will be dry. He says that dry and wet periods alternate, each lasting about 17 years in western Europe. The wet and dry periods, he considers, correspond to the average number of spots on the sun, and by means of diagrams he shows that the sun spot curve and the rain curve at Paris for the last 100 years seem to dear some relation to each other.

Body Refuses to Grant Writ of Ha" beas Corpus. Columbia, May 12.?The state Supreme court, in an opinion handed down this afternoon, refused to grant the writ of habeas corpus asked by Edmund D. Bigham, convicted at Florence, March 28, this year, of the murder of Smiley Bigham, his brother, at Pamplico, Florence county. At the time Smiley Bigham was murdered, his mother, sister and his sister's two adopted children were killed. Edmund D. Bigham has been indicted for the other alleged murders, but has not been tried for them. Through his attorneys, Bigham pleaded that the court that convicted him lacked jurisdiction, in that it was held two days over the statutory limit; or that it should have ended March 26, but instead Judge R. W. Memminger, continued it through March 28, when he was scheduled to open court at Georgetown. The opinion brushed this reasoning aside with a question from the court which allows a judge to extend the time of his court for the trial of the cases, and the chief justice has to appoint a 1 J A Vi i ?"? /-?+ V, OT?

Unhappy Endings. x A popular novel has been drama-1 tized and all the critics declared that,! while dramatic art had not been j transgressed and all the scenes were! as true to life as in the novel some^i thing was lacking. It was soon dis-i covered what was the matter. The j story ended unhappily. What one; may like in literature, one doesn't in! dama. So the third act was rewritten and : a joyous climax substituted. The ef-j feet was instantaneous. "The recep-i tion of the play," we learn, "was electric. Those who were seeing it: for the first time were thrilled with j - this great exposition of American! life. Those who had seen it in its! : first form marveled at the quickening of the piece." And yet the cognoscents agreed with one voice that the story which closed in unhappiness was the truer art, with its logical and inevitable finale. Nevertheless, one of the noted critics who came to the revised performance said: 'Til have to admit! I that I'm lowbrow. I like the accept-1 ed, tried forms better." So that's the difference between the | drama and the novel.
