C., May 21.—A report to be submitted to the 1941 session of the general assembly of the Pres byterian Church in the United States (Southern), opening here .tomorrow, indicates that there is no possibility that union between the Northern and Southern churches of the denomina tion will be brought about at this meeting. The repqrt was drafted by the as sembly’s committee on co-operation and union, which expressed the view, however, that some progress had been made. Cornmitttees from both churches, in joint session, agreed to propose to their assemblies that “each assembly direct its responsible agency, or agencies, in the areas of foreign mis sions, home missions, and Christian education (including religious educa tion and publication.) to appoint small committees of not more than three representatives in each case, to con fer with one another and with a sub committee of our joint committee, for the purpose of formulating plans by which all of our foreign missionary, home missionary and educational work shall be more effectively co ordinated, and where possible, uni fied.” VEGETABLE CROP IN S. C. IS DAMAGED BY DRY WEATHER Columbia, May 21.—Unless general rains come soon, most growing crops will be “seriously effected,” and pro duction “curtailed,” Frank O. Black, federal agricultural statistician, re ported today. Only a small portion of the com mercial trucking area of the state re ceived light showers the first ‘half of May, and “consequently the effect of the dry weather which began in April has been accentuated,” he said. The report showed lima beans are in “good condition” and some move ment is expected about June 1, be coming heavy by the 15. However, “snap beans are very late,” and, “while there were a few light shipments from the Southern most part of the State this week, no appreciable volume is expected from the chief producing sections of Lake City, Kingstree, and Holly Hill until the 21st. “The cabbage season is rapidly coming to a close as the result of continued dry weather. Quality has been very irregular and much ton nage unsalable but prices have been generally fair. “Cucumbers will require more moisture for harvest by June 1. Con dition of the coastal crop is good but only fair to good in the heavy produc ing black end Lake City sections.” BEES INJURE MAN; KILL HORSE House Hears Thousands of Dollars Collected From Aged People in State | Coumbia, May 21.—The house of representatives voted today to inves tigate the Old Age Pension Associa- . tion of South Carolina. The investigation, which would be conducted by a committee of five members of the house appointed by the speaker, would have “special re ference” to the association’s “col lection of money from old age pen sioners and the purpose of such col lections and also the disposal of such money.” The resolution authorizing the in vestigation, introduced by Represen tative King of Oconee, said “it has been brought to the attention of the house “that thousands of dollars have been collected in dues from old peo ple of our state” and “that the offi cers and directors of the Old Age Pension Association of South Caro lina claim or take credit for all legis lation favorable to the old age pen sioners who are beneficiaries of the state.” “Each member of this house is cognizant of the fact that no money is necessary to promote legislation favorable to old age pensioners and representation or insinuation' to the contrary is a false representation of the facts . . . the resolution said. F. M. Easterlin and S. S. Tiner of Spartanburg and M. A. Mosley of Cowpens were named as “inco’-pora- tors” of the association. BETH-EDEN LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. M. L.

Mr. Wilkes had been plowing and had broken his plow and was* riding his horse back to his house to repair the plow. As he rode his horse, the trace chains, which he had not both ered to unhitch from the horse were rattling. As it is well known a swarm of bees win settle when some one beats on a pan or causes similar noises in their vicinity. The rattling of the trace chains attracted a nearby swarm of bees and caused them to settle on Mr. Wilkes and his horse. The horse became frightened and threw Mr. Wilkes and caused him painful injuries. In addition he was badly stung. The bees clung to the horse and the horse in attempting to dislodge the bees ran around and around the field; some times running and some times rolling over and over on the ground, being in great agony from the bee stings, until he finally became ex hausted and dropped over dead.
