There is no cheery ring of a friendly ^telephone visit'*—no happy, sudden invitation—no pleasant, timely exchange of greetings —and no immediate news of the "away from home” mem bers of the family or the old folks. And this home is apt to be mighty like a prison. Like a prison, too, it may affect the health of the household— because there are so few out side interests.

That was mere crawling along. Now comes Prof. Alfred Joy, as tronomer at the Carnegie Institu tion’s Mt. Wilson Observatory, tak ing the joy out of speeding by the statement that the slowest flatfoot on this earth is riding on a world which is moving through space at the rate of 9,000 miles a minute. As a trifling addition to the perform ance, the earth at the same time is revolving about the sun at a rate of 1,110 mUes a minute. Even to copy the performance in miniature the speed aviators would have to do their little 300-miles-an- hour looping the loop all the way. Man is still a snail.—Raleigh Ifews and Observer. Notice Of Special Municipal Election Pursuant to the Statutes in such cases made and provided, a special election will be held, at the usual voting places, in the Town of Mc Cormick, on Tuesday, July 25th, A. >D., 1933, for the purpose of electing two Aldermen, to fill and serve out the unexpired terms of J. W. Cor ley and J. L. Jennings, respectively, resigned Aldermen of the present Town Council of said Town of Mc Cormick. The said special election will be held by J. P. Deason, D. A. Bell and J. W.

C. K. EPTING, Mayor. C. R. STROM, C. H. HUGULEY, L. N. BROWN, Town Council of Town of McCor mick, S. C. St. Matthews, July 8.—H. W. Ina- binet has had unusually good suc cess with his first adventure with poultry, reports County Agent L. B Massey. Mr. Inabinet converted an old tobacco bam into a brooder house and successfully brooded i8o out of 1000 baby chicks. He has marketed all his cockerels re cently and they paid all the ex penses up to this time. Abbeville, July 8.—In June Ab beville farmers made two truck shipments of 101 lambs, which were satisfactorily marketed. In shipping by truck, says Z. D. Rob ertson, county agent, we have the advantage of selecting just those that are ready to be marketed and keeping the others back until they are in marketing shape. Farmers have marketed cooperatively also 2,529 pounds of wool at a very sat isfactory price. Anderson, July 8.—Carpet grass on lowlands is sustaining its repu tation and we have some excellent results, says S. M. Byars, county farm agent. Hoyt Shirley has 16 acres that has been planted three years and is now carrying 51 head of cattle, and they are not able to keep up with the grazing. Many others report similar results. Aiken, July 8—“We have cooper ated with the retail and wholesale dairymen of this county who mar ket milk in Augusta, Georgia, and also the retail dairymen in the vi cinity of Aiken in setting up mar keting organizations for recogni tion by the Secretary of Agricul ture, for the stabilization of milk prices in the Aiken-Augusta milk area”, says T. W. Morgan, county farm agent, who reports that or ganizations have been completed and who expects early action on the matter. Beaufort, July 8.—Nearly all truck crops were in good demand in the early shipping season but prices dropped considerably to wards the end. Practically all loans obtained from the Federal Seed Loan fund on truck crops have been repaid in full. T. H. Sea- brok, county agent, cites the cx- oerience of Maner L. Bostick of soil is wet. Limited acreage may b grazed while the land is wet, es pecially on lands which contain some sand. “Rape, which furnishes good grazing on fertile soils, should not be allowed to grow too tall. If mow ing machine or scythe is used to keep the plants cut back, the growth will be less woody and more succulent. “The carrying capacity of coarse forages is frequently mis leading. If the forage is so coarse and unpalatable that the hogs do not consume it readily, it is of lit tle value.” txt McCormick Youth Wins Poster Contest SUPERVISOR’S REPORT LIST OF CLAIMS APPROVED AND PAID BY THE SUPERVISOR.

Walterboro, July 8.—Farmers marketing early corn, lima beans, snap beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelons have • received unusually good prices for all, as compared with the last_ several years, according to County Agent L. W. Alford’s records. Most of this produce has been sold to trucks or hauled to the curb market in Col umbia, except the corn much of which has been shipped in carlots. Camden, July 8.—For fall plant ing 10,000 pounds of hairy vetch, which comes from Central Europe, and 100,000 pounds of Austrian peas, which come from Oregon and Idaho, have been purchased for Kershaw farmers through County Agent Henry Green’s office. “We purchased these at this time to give our farmers the advantage of the low price because we are con fident that the price will be con siderably higher this Mr. Green. . txt— fall’ says Furman Plans Second Six Weeks Term Of Summer School Greenville, July 11__(Special)__ ■^inal plans for the second six weeks term of the Furman Sum ner School were announced today •>y Dean E. M. Highsmith, who predicted a “relatively larger” student attendance during the July 19-August 24 term. Teachers notes will again be ac cepted at face value in payment of •~cond term fees, Dr. Highsmith aid. Other details included in his announcement related to faculty oersonnel and curriculum, both lompleted. Furman is the only college in South Carolina operating* a second six weeks term this summer. Dr. Highsmith pointed out. “Rumors to the effect that we will not operate are absolutely unfounded,” he said. “The second term will open July 19 and close August 24, as sche duled.” Prediction of a good enrollment for the final summer session is based on the fact that “many tea chers prefer to go to summer school this year and get 100 cents on the dollar for their notes, rather than cash them at a discount and still have to go to summer school next year,” Dr. Highsmith said. Says Utilize Forages To Best Advantage Clemson College, July i.—There is an art in using forage crops to get the most out of them, states Prof. L. V. Starkey, animal hus bandman, who thinks that the value of succulent, palatable for age is often underestimated and that frequently it means a saving of one-third of concentrates ne cessary to make a given amount of gain. “Soybeans may be grazed down so closely that they will not put out again,” says the specialist, illus trating his point. “As soon as two- thirds of the leaves are grazed off, the hogs may be shifted to anoth-i er lot and the grazed lot given an opportunity to come out and be ready for a second grazing. If the number of hogs is not sufficient to graze off as many as two-thirds of the leaves, the lot may be grazed continuously. “It is the general opinion thait if Sudan grass is kept clipped with a mowing machine and allbWed tb put out new growth, the hogs will relish it more and make better gains than if it is allowed to grow tall and woody. The same thing is probably true of the winter forages when the spring growth becomes rank. “It is a mistake to allow a few hogs to graze a large field of for age on heavy clay soils while the reorganization facing the board of managers they would have a better chance to work out a satisfactory solution cf their problems if they were relieved of having to consider the wishes or welfare of an encum bent.” Besides, he said, he had a grow ing desire before ending his active 'ervice to return to the regular lines of pastorial appoinment. He has no plans for the future, he said, other than a return to such service, in South Carolina. Dr. Lawton, a native of Hampton County, attended Trinity College, was graduated from Wofford Col lege in 1904, and has done gradu ate work at Duke University. Be sides holding pastorates in state and California, he taught at Wofford, Lander Columbia Colleges. He was a professor, dean acting president at Lander, and for the last five years has been pro fessor of Bible and ethics at Colum bia College. “Dr.* Lawton,” the board said, “is eminently qualified to under- t nke the work to which he has been called and to direct the poli cies of the century-old church pa per and to carry on the work of the able and distinguished retiring edi tor, Dr. E. O. Watson.” COST OF GOVERNMENT TOTAL $ 6,718.78 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick. Personally appeared before me G. H.
