REPORT INDICATES NO
POSSIBILITY OF UNION
Montreat, N. 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.

Chester, May 21.—Wilbur Wilkes,
farmer of the Baton Rouge section, is
convalescing tonight from painful in
juries suffered from a very unusual
accident.
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.
