Walker, colored, of Rosemary, has four pitrs, exactly four months old, which range in weight from 74 to 82 pounds. Four hundred and thirteen liens, bills of sale, mortgages, satisfactions and conveyances were filed in the Clerk’s office on Monday. A. B. Connor, Esq., of Allendale, has the prettiest carp pond in the county. Like a good lawyer he is preparing a good supply of brain food. Walter T. Willis, Orderly Sergeant of the King’s Mountain Military Academy, left for Yorkville. last week after spending the holidays at Willis- ton. The County Commissioners met on Tuesday. In addition to the transac tion of ordinary business there was an inspection of paupers, and the col lection of God’s poor was indeed a pitiful one. The County Commissioners let out on the 31st inst. the building of the Hageod’s Mill Bridge—104 feet long— to Mr. Hart, an experienced builder, for $273. Several bidders from a distance were present. In glancing over the Register at the Molair House, where sixty way farers dined on Monday, we counted the names of 28 subscribers to The People, only one of whom was delin quent—and we think he can't stay in good company long without repent ing. JS FEBRUARY 6, 1908. The Prohibition League.—The meet- j ing on Monday was the^ most largely attended yet held, some 50 delegates being present. Speeches were made by Dr. E. L.

Petitions were received from several sections praying the ordering of a special election as between Pro hibition and the County Dispensary. Mr. D. P. Lancaster had a narrow escape from serious Jnjdry on Mon day. Driving into town he stopped very near the -^^uthern Railway crossing until an approaching train should pass. His mule became great ly frightened and suddenly whirled, throwing Mr. Lancaster out of the buggy. He held on gamely and suc ceeded in stopping the frightened! animal. Though unpleasantly bruised, he fortunately sustained no severe hurt. Monday morning the thermometer had dropped to 17 degrees. Last winter’s coldest ‘ record was five de grees lower. There is< good in everything. The Coast Line schedule now’ give s us mote of Chief Justice Dunbar’s good company on sale days than we en joyed when trains were more fre quent. Mr. J. E. Owens, of Ashleigh, had on exhibition on Monday a pair of pigs that were as pretty as pictures. They were a cross between the mule footed and the Duroc-Jersey strains and had the solid feet that distin guish them from ordinary swine. It is said that the mule-foot hog s never have cholera.

Attentii n of the State will center this week on a senate resolution pro viding that penalty for non-payment of 1932 property tax l»e reduced from 7 per cent, to 2 per cent, if payment is not made by June 1. R. M. Jefferies, Colleton, introduced the bill, provid ing that the penalty be 1. per .cent., but the finance committee made it two and the author agreed to it. S. M. Ward, chairman, returned a minor ity unfavorable report. It is expect ed to be decided up n this week in the senate and the house would nrvbably pass it if it reaches there. Debate on the most important bills in the senate was postponed last week until this week, the bill* being read the second time with notice of general amendments. The senate was ex pected to vote Tuesday night on several bill s dealing with the highway department. One is a measure to in crease the gasoline tax one cent and deduce automobile licenses one-half- Another will likely be a bill designed to keep the highway department from issuing any more bonds. Warj has in the senate a bill pro viding for refinancing of $5,000,000 in notes of the highway department which come due February 15th. His bill would a'low the issuance of notes at not more than 6 per cent, interest to meet these obligaions. DOCTORS SCORE RELIEF SYSTEM (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) tained no reference to the pledging of personal otfedit by physician g fur med icine nor to “starvation” or spread of disease. Johnstone was quoted as writing Spigener that the council has author ized county iclicf directors to employ physicians at not more than $1 a visit and to purchase medicine for the des titute sick if approved in writing by the county director. The letter quoted the council as suggesting that county relief councils “request the county medical associa- ti n in ach county to work out the method of caring for destitute sick in each county without cost,” Martin News.

Don’t Get Up Nights Physic the Bladder With Juniper Oil. Drive out the impurities and ex cess acids that cause in Station, burn ing and frequent desire. Juniper oil is pleasant to take in the ferm of BUKETS, the bladder physic, also containing buchu leaves, etc. Works on the bladder similar to*castor oil on the bowels. Get a 25c box from any drug stoie. After four days if not relieved of “getting up nights” go back and get your money. If you are bothered with backache or leg pains caused from bladder disorder's you are bound to feel better after this cleansing and you get your regular sleep. The Best Pharmacy sfcys BU KETS i$ a best sel'er. cooperation and education, raise the staple length of cotton from a point where the cotton mills of our State jump from a 15 per cent, consumption to a 75 per cent, consumption of home grown cotton, I say it’ s time to take off your hats to it. When an oiganization can bring systematic grading and packing to the asparagus farmers of our State and allow our asparagus to compete with, and in some cases out sell the California asparagus, grade for grade, I say again, it’ s time to take off our hats to it. When an organization can take a bunch cf hog raisers and cotton farm ers and show them through proper feedfngs method^ where they oan get 50c or m»re per bushel for their corn through hogs in these dar k years cf 1932 and 1933, once again, I say, hats off. When an organization can send a specialist into a truck farmer’s cab bage field, where large areas of the cabbage are showing yellow, from malnutrition, and that specialist can recommend the application of certain chemicals which w*ill restore the green color in three days, for the 4th time, I say, hats off. These examples, and many others, are what Clemson’ s Extension Service is doing for the farmers of the goed old Palmetto State; and some of our friends in the legislature want to cut ’em off entirely. I surely can’t get that viewpoint. These county agents don’t just ride around the country in their autemo- biles for the pleasure of .it, altho many of them do get lots of pleasure out cf their work. When you see them on the road they are neatly al ways, out on a call, but still they have time to talk to you if you step them. Neither do they just sit in their of fices, and as one friend expressed it to me the other day, write letters on “how to plow’.” Some time s when I visit some of them in their offices I feel real sorry for them. They want to get out in to the field, and here come s one farmer after the other for certain information, or just to sit a while. “What’g the price of hogs today— what kind of a bug is this—why can’t I grow peonies in this country—how can I get rid of this plant disease— how can I get a permit to ship beans, into Florida—how do I find if my 4 soil is sour—what is the best time to bud pecans—will you come out home and cull some ehicken s for me—why don’t the dairies pay more for whole milk—can you sell some fryers for me—where can I get some soy bean seed—when will we get the seed loan money—do you think they will approve my loan—what causes my potatoes to rot—what makes my cab bage turn yellow’—what causes cotton rust—where can I get some Rhode Is land Reds—how do yen make a poto- to hot becD*-will kainit stop my corn from “freHching”—what kind °/ _fer- tilizer—” All these are legitimate questions, and I daresay every county agent in South Carolina has had to answer most of them in the. past year.- Can you **hrTP\ver them, ~frteM reader? Just go over the list and try ’em. A county agent is w-ell prepared for his job, most of them are hard work ers and your county needs them. Don’t let ’em go. And I guess the above statements will put the quietu s on certain rumors about my not being loyal to the Gem- son College Extension Service. I’m for you, men, and if I can help you out again, call on me._ i PROGRAM FQR FEBRUARY'S to 18, INCLUSIVE I I ' V f Wednesday & Thursday FEBRUARY 8 and 9 LEE TRACY in BLESSED EVENT Also SELECTED SHORT SUBJECTS ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel.
