I another on all hands. Railways apI pear from entirely unexpected direcI tions. The topography appears to be I wholly different from that shown by I the map. Towns appear so small and the open country so extensive in pro I portion. One's view covers such a B wide area of pygmy builuings ciusBjtcring around and intersected by white ribbons of roadways and long, 'narrow, gleaming lines of railway, tracks. The earth is one large color scheme' I in which the Idue of the rivers and lakes, the green of the fields and open spaces and the gray of the plowed Band cultivated land predominate, vsp'tshed here and there with the reel V and white and black of the villages a*. 1 towns. H After an altitude of 2,100'feet has tM e. ached the whole surface Imperfectly flat in appearance, hill an-' *h.<o bieng of the same level. This matter of indistinguishable contour is one of the greatest existent dangers to aerial navigation and goes far to nullify the good effects of the altimeter, as that instrument only refolds height above sea level. Thus a pi.ot flying across country may eniccunter a range of hills 1,000 feet in |height and find himself liable at any moment to run into some high point 'with his altimeter recording 2,000 feet, as in a point of fact he is, above sea level. f- Thus the difference in altitude of Ithe surface of the earth present the jfsame danger and the same risk to /the pilot of the air as do the rocks and shoals in the bosom of the ocean fto the navigator of the Seas. ) When a pilot has lost his way in '/cither fog or cloud there is a ten duncy for the machine to fly in a circular direction and always to the right hand. Another danger which * presents itself at a low altitude is the "bump" or patch of rarefied air, the 'immediate effect of which is to make the plane either drop, plunge or dip on either side. The drop is often considerable, and pilots have reported drops of as much as 200 feet at a <time. Climbing higher to between 3,000 and 10,000 feet, clouds are encountered, and these are, if anything, more dangerous than the "bump." Once in a cloud, an aeroplane behaves much in the same way as a ship on a stormy / sea, and should it get into a "nose dive" when in a cloud it very rarely recovers its equilibrium, and the result is usually fatal, i A pilot when engaged on a long ^cross country fight before leaving the f ground draws a line.on: his map from the point of departure to the point at which he intends. to alight, mentally /noting any prominent objects which will reveal themselves en route.

CONVENTION Arrangements have been completed to have Miss Ravinel, the Elementary Field Worker for the South Carolina Sunday School Association to visit this county for a series of Conventions on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th. We have not had in this county a State Elementary- worker since Miss Vandiver visited us several years ago, so Miss Ravinel's coming will he looked upon with special interest- by those teaching the elementary grades in the Sunday School. Miss Ravinel is a young lady full of life and energy and full of her subject. She will be an inspiration to our work besides bring us a helpful message dealing with methods. Miss Ravinel will be accompanied by a strong corps of local speakers who will discuss other phrases of Sunday School work. A convention will be hold in each of the four districts of the county. A morning and afternoon session will bo held at each. Dinner will be served on the grounds. Following are the dates and places of meeting: District No. 1, October 20th, at Socastee. District No. 2, October 18th, at Brown Swamp. District No. 3, October 17th, at Spring Branch. District No. 4, October 10th at Bethlehem. o CLEAN HANDS. Disease germs lead a hand to mouth existence. If the human race ii i J " 1 woum ieurn to Keep tno unwasncu hand away from the mouth many human diseases would be greatly diminished. We handle infectious mattei more or less constantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the ahnd has recently been in contact with infectious matter the germs of disease may in this way be introduced into the body. Many per sens wet their fingers with saliva before counting money, turning the pages of a book, or performing similar acts. In this case the process is reversed, the infection being carried to the object handled, there to await carriage to the mouth of some other careless person. In view of these facts the U. S. Public Health Service has formulated the following simple rules of personal hygiene and recommends their adoption by every person in the United States. o (Innrl citizens ought to be goc enough to register and vote for the good of their country,?The State. % raid. HIS ENTIRE CROP LOST IN FLAMES When the Barns on Williams'. Farm Catch on Fire Last Friday. Last Friday night about 1 o'clock the large barns on the farm of J. P. Williams near Port Harrelson caught on fire from some unknown cause and in a few minutes were burned down to the ground. In the barns were the greater part of all the crops raised on the farm this year, by the tenant. All*. Mucks. There was one bale of cotton and a considerable quantity of corn, fodder, hay and other things not remembered at the time. These were totally lost. 1 Iiv (/IIIVV wtlJS utvupivu uy Hit" u'llant.

It is only on the stump that Tillman is a tornado.?Charity and Children. Mr. Tillman is, personally, all that is claimed for him by this friend. Ho is a man of great human sympathies. His home life has always been spotless. The great error that Mr. Tillman made was to array the people of South Carolina against each other. He has since proved himself to be a far bigger and better man than his enemies would admit, but he has never conceded that he had wronged good men when he first set out.? Daily Record. ? o F. F. Covington, one of the leading representatives of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, went to Murrell's Inlet last Friday and spent some time in deep-water fishing. While casting for large fish he ac cidentally caught one of the hooks in the fleshy portion of his hand, so that the hook was caught and had to be forced through and filed off. It was a very painful experience for Mr. Covington, but he was in Conway again on Saturday looking as well ahd cheerful as ever. i H. M.
