Some people contend that a (rood 4lrink of Barnwell County bobte is worth an automobile. When Texas complain H of hot winds bvrninir up the cotton crop, look out for a bumper yield. And it has been ■cur observation that when some peo ple complain th e most, that’i when they are really making money. Stockholders of the Yorkville Cot ton Oil Mill on Wednesday received a twenty per cent, dividend on their stock. Previously an eighty per cent, payment was received and thus far the stock has paid its full value. The officials are sure that there will be another payment in th P future.— Yorkville Enquirer. It i 8 not clear from the above paragraph whether the dividend* of HO and 20 per cent, represented the profit* made by a going concern or MTt the salvage from a itock com pany in process of liquidation. If the former, it can easily be seen why the farmers are receiving such low price* for their cotton seed. A Modern Widow’* Mite. The farmer* of Beaufort County have had a very disastrous season this year from the standpoint of prices. Good crops have been produr- «d but the return 1 have been disap pointingly low. The potato crop was probably the worst of all in this re aped, yet these same farmers who have suffered auch heavy losses im mediately offered to assist the hail sufferers in Bamberg County with donations of potatoes ami other vege tables.

In structural strength, due to bet- tar materials and finer workmanship, St. John’s will greatly surpass any of the European cathedrals of the Middle Ages. It i* estimated that the granite used will not wear down as much as an inch in 5,000 years. An eminent engineer, J. Bernard Walker, recently declared that he has seen a finer job of masonry, or in which the cutting and setting «f stone showed greater exactitude and care. Bhrring some great cataclysm of satore, St. John’s cathedral should stand for thousands of years as a monument to American genius of the twentieth century. Light and Health.
