HAZARDS IN MOVING HOGS IN SUMMER Care of Right Kind Will Reduce! Losses in Their Trans ,! . ,A. portation HOW TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERINGS ON FARMS Green Feeds are Big- Factor in Taking Care of Hogs in Hot Weather. Hot weather occupies a leading position in the hog's calendar of horrors. During the season when the sun is at its best, porkers suffer unless protective precautions in the way of shade and a sanitary wallow arc provided. Particularly in the case of shipping hogs by rail is mortality heavy during the season when the mercury is skyrocketing. Where it is necessary to ship fat hogs to market at this time of year, such precautions as icing the cars, shipping- at night as far as possib'e on special stock trains, and exerting every effort to expedite the movement of the live stock to the central market so that the animals suffer only a minimum of shrinkage in weight and discomfort during their railroad journey, should be practiced. Cool Showers on Cars. (According1 to the United States Department of Agriculture, it is advisable to equip each car which is within about one day's trip of its destination with approximately 500 pounds of ice suspended at even intervals in burlap sacks by means of stout rope PAY A Fl Nobody wants anything when he buys from a mercha: buy what he needs at fair pri< At the Sam W VVBIII Th<* year of 1919 finds a full line of staple good that are fair to our customer Give Us If you have not been trc us a trial this year. DUSENBU Toddville, farme IS THE E - -* \ _ I from the coiling of the car. The motion of the car will cause these racks to swing to and fro so that the hogs i are continuously showered with coid water during their market trip, until the supply of ice is exhausted, in case it is impossible to secure an abundance of ire, the stockman should bed his car with .*> or 4 inches of sand, which should be well wetted before j the train starts and, if possible, 't should be again moistened in transit. The heat discomfort of hogs on the farm may be alleviated by locating the hog quarters amid plenty of shade and providing a substantial, pel manent hog wallow made of con-f crete of a size adequate for the requirements of the herd. Arrangements should he made for draining I the wallow at frequent intervals and adding fresh water to maintain it in la sanitary condition. If the wallow is constructed in an unsheltered position, a simple sunshade may be made of straw or boughs laid over a framc . 1 ? 4 L ? work built about 4 ieet aoove mtwallow. Grecti Feeds Are Good. One advantage of the warm weather season is that, ordinarily, it provides an abundance of green feed and pasture crops for the hogs to harvest j in the self-serve way. Every hog raiser should make maximum use of j all available green feeds in the summer ration, as such materials are not only nutritious and fattening during j J the high-temperature season, hut they 1 also are inexpensive material for the making of profitable pork. Furthermore, the porkers gain necessary exorcise in rustling the green feed. o STOLL ENTERS RACE Kingstree.?Col. Philip H. Stoll announced that he will make the race for congress to succeed the late Congressman Ragsdale. Colonel Stol! has been in public life since 1908, when he was elected solicitor of the Third circuit, which office he held until the fall of 1917 when he resigned to enter the army. He is well j and favorably known and his friends are enthusiastic over his candidacy.

Notwithstanding the i torrential rains, a large attendance j was on hand, attesting the interest j felt in this important matter by the ; people of Georgetown and Horry j Counties. The benefits to accrue ' from the opening of this waterway, i which Representatives Moore of; Pennsylvania and Small of North Carolina have been urgently advo- j eating for years would be of tremendous importance, not only to this section but to the entire Atlantic sea- , beard. It would develop wonedrfully ! the rich sections to be traversed, give , to shipping a safe passage, free from the dangers of storms and enemy at tack in time of war on the open sea, ami a pleasant voyage to the hun- j dreds of tourist yachts from Maine t?> i the Florida resorts. Moreover, it J would prove of inestimable value to the federal government in the movement of naval vessels of lesser , di aught. The hearing was held before Col. Ci. R. Lukosh, United States engineer ' of the Charleston district, who was ! accompanied on the trip from Georgetown to Conway by W. O. WTiitescarver, assistant engineer, and McQueen Quattlcbaum, engineer of the United States engineering office at Georgetown.

The floral emblems were the handsomest ever seen at a funeral here, many cf them having been sent from Washing ton by the friends of Mr. Ragsdale there and a number by the organizations and societies to which he belonged. The design sent by the South Carolina delegation was particularly handsome and occupied a place at the head of the casket. It was a replica in flowers of the Palmetto flag and was most ingeniously conceived and artistically executed. Other designs were equally beautiful. Mr. Kagsdalc had expressed the desire that his remains be placed at rest in Florence, the city he loved and had ! done so much for and splendid tri| butes were paid his memory at the funeral yesterday afternoon.
