A Home Without Tolo-

Mighty Like a Prison
without a tele-
no quick com-
The house
phone has
munication with the outside
world. 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

your home is healthy and
happy with a telephone.
Just call our office and we'll

Loss of
Appetite
May Mean You*re Rundown!
►When your appetite goes back on you
and you fed weak, tired and depressed,
it’s a sign you’re rundown and in need of
a good tonic. There is nothing better than
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic.
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic contains
both iron and tasteless quinine in highly
concentrated form. Iron, to build the
blood; quinine, to act as a blood purifier.
These two effects make Grove’s Tasteless
ChHl Tonic an exceptional medicine. Try
it for three days and notice the results.
Appetite restored, pep and energy re
newed. Grove’s Taste’ess Chill Tonic is

SPEED
The world applauded when at the
national air races in Los Angeles
speed flyers drove their planes
around the five-mile course at a
300-mile-an-hour clip. 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.

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.”

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.”

that the United States treasury

with a deficit of $1,775,000,000 and
that the public debt amounted to
$22,530,000,000, an increase of
$3,004,000,000 during the year and
the highest point reached since
?922. In 1917 the national debt was

A KIND DEED
Monday afternoon we witnessed

on a platform with roller skate
wheels. He came to a street cross
ing and was unable to manipulate
the passage and get his rolling

body out for self. That is not true.
It does us good to see a fine, strong
man help the unfortunate, whoever
he iS: The man who lends the help
ing hand’ can always feel' a sense
of thankfulness that he was able to
be of assistance.
The crippled negro will reurn ter
Dillon with a very kind feeling to
ward Columbia, thanks to the com-
platform up on the sidewalk See- te heart of Representative-
ing his need of assistance. Richard J”*— „„ nf
I. Lane, a member of the House of
Representatives of South Carolina,
volunteered to give the cripple a
helping hand. The man was soon
on his way again, profusely thank
ing Mr. Lane for his kindness. He
told the gentleman who had’ aided
him that he was from Dillon and
had come over to* see the capitol
city.
There is lots of sunshine in this
world if one will keep* an eye open
seen whether the next year will jin the right direction. We can not
show a corresponding reduction, I subscribe to the idea; that every-
