Salters Depot, April 18.?We are having another touch of winter today, the cold wave predicted by the weather bureau having arrived on schedule time. Most of the beans in this section were killed by the cold weather of last week, and nearly everything in the garden was damaged by the frost. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Gourdin spent several days in Charleston last week. Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Thrower spent last week-end with relatives in Charleston. Mrs. Mattie Ferrell is visiting her daughter Mrs. J. M. Sirps.

See Welch, he can protect you 2t. 1 o Sugar Cane in South Carolina One way in which A. H. Ward, county agent of Darlington, is promoting diversification is in the encouragement given to farmers to grow sugarcane for sirup. Through his efforts a great many farmers will plant small acreages in sugar cane. One car of sugar cane for ,-eed has already been shipped in and sold, and a company has been organized to manufacture cane sirup for the farmers. This company will establish an up-todate sirup mill at a cost of $5,000, and the manufacture of the sirup will be in the hands of an experienced sirup maker. County Agent Ward's slogan is that every landlord and tenant should produce sufficient sirup for home use this year and should save enough seed for a larger crop next year. Reports from other county agents show considerable revival of interest in the growing of sugar cane in the lower part of the state, where excellent yields of a superior quality of sirup are easily made. i mUi ?

Every fly swatted < "for keeps" this month means hun- * dreds less to battle against later on. . In connection with the reminder - that fly swatting is at nanci, a r renew scientist's theory is of interest. He contends that a liberal display of blue in household furnishings and paint will upset the mental equilibrium of the average fly to such an extent that he will not find life bearable. The fly, ^ this gentlemen goes on to explain, is a highly temperamental insect, ex- c remely sensitive to environment, t Blue hangings, blue curtains, blue * paint, etc., throw him into such an j acute state of the blues that he will j leap off the kitchen table or the ceil- t ing or whereever he may. happen to [ be and dash himself to death on the floor beneath. c o z A personal encounter took place in J Charleston Saturday afternoon be- , tween Mayor Grace and E.
