South Carolinians are much interested in cattle and swine production at the present time the inroads of L the boll weevil having served to 1 drive home to farmers the fact that / cotton must be looked to merely as a side crop for a few years at least. Interest in cattle and swine production has been growing steadily over ( the state during the past several 1 years, and the indications are that the t displays of fine stock this year will j be especially full and complete. Good Midway Attractions. j While th?*re will he excellent dis- ( plays of fine stock and farm prod- j ucts at the state fair the amusement ( feature has not been lost sight of, < and an aggregation of thirty shows . will hold sway on the midway. ( The midway attractions will be \ provided by the C. A. Wortham com- ; pany, and ace said to be the best that have yet held forth at the state fair. ( There are many riding and amuse- < ment devices in the aggregation, j many of which are now to this sec- < tion so that there will be no lack of wholesome fun during the fair.

The program includes a new constitutional amendment, declaring ihat "mo political, civil or legal disabilities or inequalities on account of marriage" shall prevail, together with a bill to give women the same rights, privileges and immunities as men." It was announced that Senator Curtis, Republicon, Kansas, and Repreitutive Fess, Republican, Ohio, would introduce the proposed constitutional amendment in Congress on October I, and that copies of the new bill had sent to all state chairmen of the Woman's Party except Wisconsin, which already has enacted the law. Women would have the right, upon marriage, to choose their names and have equal voice in custody of thenchildren, legitimate or illegitimate, under the proposed new bill of the women's organization. Other legal rights for women include: Suffrage, eligibility for all officers, freedom of contract; choice of domicile, residence or name; jury service; acquisition and control of property; control of labor earnings; eligibility for judiciary positions; equality in grounds for divorce and immunities and penalties for sex offenses. CLEMSON OPENS 29TH SESSION Clemson Opens With Prospects of Successful Year Ahead Tho opening of Clemson College for the session of 1921-22 was probably the most noteworthy in its history. It was characterized by the large number of students reporting, and by the keen interest taken in the college by the public. When the doors of the college were thrown open it | showed that the people of South Carolina and other states were opening their eyes to the possibilities being offered at Clemson and were sending their sons to an institution where they could receive the best advantages in training. On Monday, September 12, all of the officers in the cadet corps leportDd for duty. Following close after these old men the remainder of the :>ld students came in on Tuesday. In ^pite of the financial depression prevalent, practically all of the old stu lents returned to nntsn tneir ecmca:ion. This is a fine record and shows hat more interest is being: shown in education than ever before. With .he body of old students on the campus the college seemed to take new ife, but these were not all of the CJlemson men by far. On Wednesday the freshmen began o pour in. The new boys almost illed the main building, each one tryng his best to matriculate as soon is possible. It seemed for a while is if all was confusion, but out of ;he chaos came order, and the largest 'reshmen class on record was assigned to barracks. The number of lew cadets was so large that, in order .0 accommodate all of them, many < ooms were necessarily occupied by i hree men. This condition will not j :ontinue for long because Clemson is ( flowing rapidly, and, we hope, will ( soon have ample room to take care of . ill students desiring to enter. o MARKETS ! 0 0-00000000 Hay.

"I am going to make home ^fe so attractive on this farm that boys won't care to go to the city for excitement and variety when they grow op to manhood," remarked the farmer tn his talk to the contractor.

At the right end, which forma a sort of wing to the main building, Is the largo kitchen which Is necessary In farm homes where many must be fed. Off one corner Is a handy lavatory. In a corner adjacent to the pantry and kitchen a dumb-waiter has been installed, which makes the carrying of food and other supplies from the storage cellar to the kitchen a very easy task and lightens much of the work which falls ou the shoulders of the housewife.

The girls and boys have a real home in which to entertain their friends. There is electric light, running water, modern lavatories and bathroom. A modern heating plant in the cellar keeps the home comfortable all year round. If more homes like this were built on American farms, and they can be, for they are not verj expensive, there would be less worry over farm help and less hue and cry about keeping the children on the farm. Human nature Is alike the world over, in that it craves comfort, convenience and attractive surroundings. That la the basis of all honest ambition. FIGURE LARGELY IN HISTORY Animal* and Reptiles That Have Been Held in High Reverence for Various Reaeone. Perhaps no animal ever butted lti way into the literature of childhood so successfully as did Mary's little i lamb, and today no animal gets as much petting and fantastic reverence bestowed upon It as does the white elephant of Slam, and the elephant in America has lt? following. In Slam the worshipers believe that the soul of a dead person, perhaps of a Buddha, may be lodged In the white elephant. Consequently he is baptized, dined and wined, and mourned at his death. The snake figures as much In history as a pet as perhaps any other reptile or animal. The sinuousness of its body, made possible by the hundreds of vertebrae in its backbone, and the never-wiDKinK eyes nave K'ven it a' fascination conducive to a belief that, some sorl of occult power is -embodied In It. The ancient Incas made In tr/fe rocks of their temples, even In the Temple of the Sun, small holes lendlr.g to circular inclosures for the snakes to nest therein. It has been surmised that the priests probably kept in (he tern- j pies a few tamo snakes In order lo use ; them in prophesying.

R EMPLOYES VOTE FOR STRIKE Believe Their Counsel, However, Will Prevail Against Walk Out I Chicago.?Leaders of the hip: four j brotherhoods afYili.'ited unions last' ruirM declared they had little doubt I th:11 the railway employes had voted i for a general strike rather than accept a wage reduction, but announced that the conservative counsel of the '^"ders might prevail against a walkout. From the opening of the first envelope, it was said, it was clear that there would be a majority for a strike. Giving an estimated majority, Vice President Murdock of the engineers said: "Our past experier.ee has oeen th.'it 98 per cert of the men always vote to strike." Next Monday officials of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firfmen and Enginemen and Switchmen's Union of North America will meet here to count the strike votes of their 259,000 members. Railroad union leaders "here expect all the brotherhoods and the switchmen's union to cast substantial majorities for a strike. The affiliated shop crafts lv*ve already voted, by a majority of approximately 325.000 to 48.000 to walk out and are only waiting to see what action the other unions will take and for the United States railroad labor board to dispose of the 1 i 1-4 -.1 pi-nuiiiK woikiiix ruies .ngreemerns. Reports of the genera1 chairman of the trainmen when they assembled were plainly disappointing to the union leaders. The trainmen had voted on a separate ballot because their leaders did not approve of the joint ballot prepared by the other union. On September 12 President W. G. Lee addressed a circular letter to the men in which he pointed out five reasons why he thought a strike would be unwise at 1 his time and why the men might expect to accept some wage reduction. He asked the men to consider the fact that wages and working conditions of all classes established since 1918 were the result of a world war; that 5,000,000 men are now unemploy that nearly ail classes of labor have been forced by meditation, arbitration, strikes or lockouts to accept reduced rates of pay during the past year; that the increased wages granted railroad men last year were based n increased cost of living and that government reports indicate a 16 per cent cut in in living costs since July 1, 1920. The letter, however, apparently has failed to influence the voting, the general chairman reported. I Much Suffering I Waste Prodi What Science Knows About Best Ti The blood is more important than any of the organs. It is thru the blood that the whole human body is directly or indirectly nourished. The blood gets its nourishment from the intestines. The intestines also contain waste products ? undigested foods, acids, gases and refuse, which sometimes get in the blood. When waste products get in the blood, nature will strive to cast them out. If your resistance is strong enough, nature will probably succeed. But if you are "below par," weak, run-down, and nervous, nature will begin to show signs of distress. As a result, you will have that feeling of fatigue. You will lack the energy you need for the day's duties and pleasure. Minor ailments will begin to affect you?pimples, blackheads, and boils. If the waste products are not gotten out of the blood at this point, it is possible a more serious skin eruption or disease will begin to show itself. I BaltimoreI s. s. I Resumption of ?

The strike vote, however, union officials pointed out does not necessarily mean the immediate calling of a strike. The question as submitted to the men carries a vote for or against "a strike unless the wage re- "> duction question can be settled in a manner satisfactory to the general grievance committee representing the class of service in which I am engaged." The grievance committee probably will meet here as soon as the vote is canvassed, it was said, and either take steps to reopen negotiations with the roads or set ,% date for the walkout. Mr. Lee in his letter, declared he wculd take no hand in the question but permit the committee to reach its own conclusions. The general chairman on any railroad system where the men vote to strike will be given authority to call out his followers, Mr. Lee continued. NOTICE OF TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.
