Page No. 6 STRANGE POWER HELD BY WOMAN Small Woman, Annie Abbot, Amuses Big Crowd at Pastime nr'A\i\/ mrti Akin i r??ir> HCHVI IVI Cl IM Ml MU L.UIM V> Small Boys Could Not be Lifted by Strongest ' Men The Horry Herald said last week that Miss Annie Abbott was coming to the Pastime Theatre. She came in on time and performed on the stage at the end of the reel entitled "Nomads of the North." On the literature sent out in advance she was described as "The Little Georgia Magnet," and a magnet she proved. It was stated from the stage that her heavy chair with which she conducts one of her most interesting experiments, had been broken up in transit on one of the railroads between Darlington and Conway. No heavy chair could be obtained in the community for her use at the theatre, so this part of her regular program had to be left off. It proved an interesting exhibition of a power that she herself failed to explain, saying from the stage that she could not explain how it was done. She told of an experience that happened to her when a young chiid wherein there was a flash of light and that ever since she had possessed the power of remaining on the floor regardless of the efforts of others, without limit to number, except as many as could get hold of her, to lift her clear of her feet. She said that she VtHfl Pvliihifo^l linf 1 v.xnuiwu utiuic me truwn neaus of Europe and had been invited to pive examples of her work before kings and queens. She invited ten gentlemen to take the chairs on the stage and assist her in carrying out the experiments. Heavy set men, like Will Burnett, determined men like W. C. Adams, fatty men like Ike Long, as well as men of indifferent sorts were selected for this purpose, though some were suggested that did not wish to take part in the stage work and they did not appear. These men failed to pull an ordinary billiard cue through her open liands; they could not budge her from the floor when she said she was ready, although the minute before when she was not ready they could easily bounce her off her feet with their hands placed under her arms; and the whole body of men pushing and shoving together could not force this one little woman up against the wall as she stood away from it with her hands outstretched and touching the wall. She showed that she coitld transmit this power to others by simply holding her hands on their wrists. For this purpose a number of small boys were invited up on the stage. When she said so any of the men could raise the boys off their feet by placing their hands under their arms in the usual way of lifting a boy; but when she was ready the men might strain and heave with all their might and then even t.Vip smollouf o^i-i _ MtMWUVUV U1IU 11 fi? ill. est of the boys would remain prlued to the floor as if they had been planted there as a part of it. It w^is extremely funny just as she said it would be. liiere were many laughs at the expense of the ten men who went up to help out in the entertainment. It was rare and it was curious. She said that doctors and scientists everywhere had conferred with her and various theories of it had been expressed, hut none were known to b< the correct explanation. uk o?? &OUTII CAROLINIANS WIN ^ NATIONAL SAFETY PRIZES Washington, D.

The Williamsburg County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Association was organized at Kings tree on May 5th. with the aid of Dr. W. H. Mills, Field Agent in Agricultural Finance, thus giving Williamsburg farmers mutual fire protection on property valued at over four million dollars. As an illustration that intelligent dairying pays in connection with general farming, the Extension Dairy specialists cite the fact that E. A. Spencer, of Cheraw, sold $101.50 worth of butter fat from 8 cows and that one cow in the herd paid the feed bill for the eight cows. The egg market calls for infertile eggs, N. R. Mehrof, Extension Poultry Husbandman, reminds poultry raisers and now that the breeding season is over, the motto should be, "Swat the rooster." To protect grapes from birds and to extend .the ripening season, some of the grapes should be bagged when the berries are about the size of okra seed and just following a spray cf Bordeaux mixture.

In order to test the effectiveness of Hill's Mixture as a boll weevil poison, extensive experiments were made in Dothan and vicinity last week. These experiments, (which were conducted by thoroughly-,reliable and reputable parties) prove conclusively that Hill's Mixture does kill the boll weevil, as in some instances not a handful of weevils could be gathered from a field where they had been in abundance before the mixture was applied. Officials from the Hill's Mixture Corporation in Augusta arrived in Dothan last Monday, and on Tuesday conducted a test on the farm of F. J. weathers, eight miles south of town. About one and one-half acres of cotton, down near the woods, convenient to the winter supply of weevils was poisoned Monday afternoon, using about a gallon of the Hill's Mixture. ; Tuesday morning1 a party went ; back to see what the results were. , Only one live weevil was found on this section. A handful of weevils were caught Monday afternoon, and ( placed under a screen which went over the cotton. They were dropped I under this screen, and on the leaves of the cotton some of the poison was , placed. All of these weevils were ' dead on Tuesday with but one exc*ptT5n and he looked mighty sick. Mr. Thos. Barrett, Jr., vice-president of the Hills Mixture Corpora5 tion, advises that similar tests have just been completed on the farms of 1 Messrs. Raines and Hollingsworth in a Terrell County, Ga. The Hill's Mix1 ture was thorouchlv annlied to fifteen - acres of the field most densely -populated with the in sects. Tuesday morning a large number of prominent Terrell and - Dougherty County planters, who went t. over the fields in question and found i, only five live weevils, while number? ri of dead ones were scattered all ovei s the plants and down on the ground r between the rows. a o? d ANTI-KIDDERS ORGANIZE 1, TO STOP MEN FLIRTS k. . >r Evan^ville, Ind.?Sweet papa, sweei papa, you'd better look out, the prirls ie of this town have your mark.

A. H. Gasque, member of Congress from the 6th district, has become interested in the intracoastal waterway which would.mean so much for Conway when completed. He answered the letter he received from the secretary of the Conway Chamber of Commerce promptly as follows: <4Mr. M. A. Wright, Conway, S. C. "Dear Mr. Wright: "I am in receipt of your letter of the 21st inst., relative to the Intracoastal waterway system. As you state. I am very much interested in this project, and shall do all in my power while a member of Congress to further it. I shall introduce a bill as fcoon as Congress meets, authorizing a review of this favorable report, with a view to securing the proper appropriation for same. It will be necessary, I realize, to get the various Congressmen and Senators from the northeast, who are on this line, interested, and get them behind Jthe movement. I believe, with the proper effort, that this can be done. Of course, I realize that it will take some time, and a good deal of effort, but I shall gladly give both to it. Colonel Jadwin has already sent me a good deal of information on this project. He also seems very much interested in it. "At present I am working on the portion of that route between Georgetown and Charleston, trying: to get it shortened, which I am in hones we will be able to do this year. If we ' pet the project between Charleston and and Georgetown through, it will shorten the distance between these two towns something like fifteen miles. "Any information you get from time to time regarding this matter, I shall be glad to receive. Also I shall call on you from time to time for help after we get started. "Assuring you of my willingness to assist you in any way possible in this or any other matter, I am, "With kindest personal regards, "A. H. GASQUE." Florence, S. C? May 22, 1923. < PRODUCE CLEAN INFERTILE EGGS Clemson College.?Now that the breeding season is over, poultrymen must give attention to the production of eggs that are infertile. The markets want infertile eggs, and it is upi to the nrhdueer to nut a nroHuct on I the market that the people will buy. Suggestions to this end are made by N. R. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Husbandman. After the breeding season the males should be separated from the females. If the male birds are good ones, they should be penned up separately, but if they are just mediocre it will not nay to feed and keep them till next breeding season. The Government estimates state that the farmers lose $15,00(^000 a year on fertile eggs. The U. S. Department of Agriculture says: "You can save the $15,000,000 now lost from blood rings by keeping the male birds from your flock after the hatching season is over. The rooster does not help the hen lay. He merely fertilizes the germ of the egg. The fertile germ in hot weather quickly becomes a blood ring, which spoils the egg for food and market. Summer heat has the same effect on fertile eggs as a hen or incubator." And it is not merely a question of infertile eggs. That is very important, but if fertile eggs aren't produced under sanitary conditions it will l>e almost impossible to produce good clean eggs. Clean nests must be provided for the hens to lay the eggs in, one nest for every four to five hens. It is important to gather the eggs often, at least twice a day. If the hens are kept in a sanitary environment good clean eggs will be produced. TTiese should be marketed as often as possible. o miserable for them." Attacks launched by the club are to be aimed especially against "lonesome papas," she explains. , "How can we tell those who are married trom the single ones? That's | easy: How to Tell Them. "You see, an unmarried man ke^k I silent on the subject of marriage. A married one will quickly deny he't married even before anyone asks him about it "Single men assume a pose wher * talking, a la movies.
