For further information address James P. Kinard, President, Wixxthrop College, Rock MB, a. c Greenwood.—Two bales of cotton raised in 1904, known as the ‘‘Sully Year,” were sold on the Greenwood market recently by Jay Hinton, Greenwood County farmer. The pur chaser was R. S. Towles, cotton weigh er, and the price was 15 cents. One bale weighed 423 and the other 447 pounds. Mr. Hinton stored the cotton in a barn nearly 27 years ago and has re sisted every urge to sell it until the “tight times” of 1930 arrived. The two aged bales stood unmoved during the “scrip” year of 1907, the buy-s- bale movement of 1914, the exciting days of 1919-1920 when the market reached a peak of 44 cents, the defla tion period of 1921, and the fluctua tions and floods of 1928 and 1929. Mr. Towles says the cotton is of the finest «rnd* and “feels like wool N to i umi— On the doors of Chinese bouses. In early summer, are pasted pictures of Uhang Tao-lln, the first Taoist pope, riding on s tiger, ssjf a writer in the New York Times. Probably there are 50,000,000 such pictures so displayed and worshiped during the year, for Chang fs supposed to repress evil spirits and to ward off calamity and sickness in the hot months. On the “fifth day of the fifth moon”—usually early In June—when most of the pic tures are pasted up, the children are dressed in cheap, tigerlike suits of clothes to keep off the derapns, who fear tigers. Chang Tao-lln is said to have been horn on Tien Moh San (Heavenly- eye mountain) in the year 35 A. D. He waa asked to be an official; but chose rather to meditate In silence and to cultivate virtue. He went to live in China's western hills and there was shown, by a book given^to him from above, how to find the elixir of life, and from other ancient books how to ascend Into heaven, how to fly and bow to walk among the stars. With these and other magic powers he could fight demons, divide mountains and seas, and rule the winds. . Scotch Freebooter Made Hero of Song and Story Rob Roy (Robert McGregor or Campbell), Scptch legendary, hero, was born in Buchanan pariah, Scotland, 1671; died at Balquhidder December 28, 1734.

These shrank- en human heads, called tsantas in the native Jlvaran tongue, are often seen in museums. The head, after being taken from an enemy, is carefully skinned, sewed up in the back and then shrunk and dried hy an elab* orate process accompanied by much ceremony. The finished product, no lugger than the head of a small mon key, preserves the human expression. » " -t . Napoleon’s Josephine Josephine was too indifferent tor a mistress, too volatile for a wife; but as the companion of Napoleon she played her part well. As Mr. Wilson suggests, there was something tin- seily in each. There was also some thing enigmatical In each, so that if he often seemed indeed a Caesar, she often . appeared a careless, Latin divinity.
