respective departments in the Bi
ble school.
The complete faculty along with
further details will be given later.
Please keep in mind the date,

Columbia, March 24.—The State
Democratic Executive Committee,
through its treasurer, J. M. Smith,
Columbia, announced today that it
had authorized completion of pay
ment on certificates of indebted
ness issued to managers holding
the primary elections in 1941.
In that year, Mr. Smith ex
plained, the party was without
sufficient funds to pay these of
ficers but in 1944 funds were se
cured in such volume that fifty
per cent of the indebtedness was
liquidated. Now the additional a-
mount will be paid, said Mr.
Smith.
Mr. Smith requests all managers
who have these certificates to mail
them to him before July 1, 1945,
and address them to Post Office
Box 333, Columbia, South Carolina
When they are received, checks
will be issued for them. “I want
to caution the holder”, Mr. Smith
concluded, “that the deadline for
payment will be July 1st and none
will be honored after that date.”

By M. E. BOOZER
to leave two frames out of the
new hive with new foundation in
lit so that the young bees can d
tied out of the box. After the new
hives are ready, one good method
of transferring is to smoke the old
hive or hollow log, tap on it a
little bit and give the bees time
to fill their honey sacks. Then
move the old hive 10. to 15 feet,
and put the new one in its place :
with the front door as near a^
possible where the old one was.
Leave the two frames without
foundation comb out of the hive;
then turn the old hive upside
down and put a cardboard box ov
er it. With two sticks tap on the
old hive and smoke at the bottom.
The bees will crawl out of the old
hive into the box. Then you can
easily pour them into the new
hive.
Tear the sides off the old hive
Cut out the comb and the largest
pieces with working bee cells and
young bees, and fit and tie into
the frames left out of the hive.

From a report I have, I wish t*
warn you that the “Boll Weevil”
will be with us this year in a great
er number than of last year. Very
little poisoning was done last year,
and as a result of very favorable
weather conditions, a good crop
was harvested. Don’t let this fool
you into not poisoning. You caa
remember when brother “Boll
Weevil” just about got all our cot
ton. Arrange for your molasses
and arsenate at once.
Mr. Joe Christian has some of
the best oats in the county. Fer
tilizing at time of planting is the
secret. All of our small grains
need rain but are still a very
promising crop.
If you haven’t signed up for the
5 acre cotton contest do so at once
as we have a 1st prize of $50.0»
and second prize of $25.00 to be
given to the highest producers
here in the county. This is new
—county prizes.
Study the letter rpailed you and
see how much money your farm
can earn. Then make arrange
ments to earn all this money.
Don’t let these dollars go back t®
Washington.
The 100 acres of kudzu recently
planted in this county are making
splendid progress.

Ford Motor Company announced
it would present the newly-

for the national toga won last year
by a team of the Robert E. Bent-

At no time in the 17-year run

such material aid to the teams.
“More things are wrought by
prayer than this world dreams of.”
Tennyson.
The poet has pointed out one of
the great truths which we some
times forget. Our lives lack tha’
sense of perspective and that driv
ing power which we need to mak
us dynamic forces for good in our
community and the world simply
because we have lost our convic
tion about the efficacy of prayer.
Instead of inviting God into our
ives to guide and use us, we at
tempt to make our own decisions
As a result, our lives count for sc
little when they really ought tc
count for something worthwhile.
