He is the inventor of the telephone and of the graphophone as well as other similar instruments. He was born in Edinburg, Scotlam v^icnison college, auk zi.? mere is a great temptation, especially in " years of little damage, to neglect the ! point-harvest clean up of the peach orchard. To yield to this temptation, however, is to jeopardize next' year's crop, warn the plant patholo- 1 prists of the college. The situation with regard to the: clean up has been investigated in the peach belt of Georgia by Prof. J. A. McClintock, of the Georgia Experiment Station. His summary states conditions so clearly that it is here quoted for the benefit of South Carolina farmers. "The growers who have thrught seriously about the results obtained in the control of insects and diseases in 1920 and 1921 with sprays and dusts have come to the conclusion that these pests can not be held in check in commercial orchards the use of spray and dust alone. Growers who cleaned up their orchards in 1920 agree that such clean culture was worth more in the control of insects and diseases on their 1921 crop than was the spray or dust used during the growing season. In other words, spraying or dusting is r.eces U-A -1 1-? I 1 * ? Miy, uut siiouifi lie Huppiime'iiary 10 clean culture. "From the data collected in a number of commercial ordchards in various sections of this state during the past two years ana from the spray tests conducted in a commercial orchard in 1921, it is concluded that the cleaning up of orchards as a community proposition following harvest, in order to destroy the peach inaectis and , diseases over l%rge areas, is the only Wr. check. If the orchards arc thoroughly cleaned, then three or possibly four applications of spray or dust may be expected to protect the fruit from the few insects which remain. Ami with culculio under control, brown rot will no longer prove a menace to the peach industry of Georgia." Blasted Romance Leads To Killing of His Brother Portland, Mich., Aug. 20.?The ashes of his blasted romance turning bitter in his cup, William Hughes killed his brother, David, wounded his brother's daughter, Gertrude, 13 years old, and ended his own life, by ^hooting, early this'morning.

CARE RUINS FISHES' 'MORALE' Protected Salmon Grow Too Tame, Canadian Parliament Is Told by Expert. Ottawa, Out.?Government lish hatcheries have ruined the "morale" of the salmon of British Columbia, a< cording to tlie story told to the house of commons by A. \V. Neill. It seems that when the salmon come into the world at the INIi hatcheries they are guarded against all enemies and Alt Neill says they lose their protective in stinct. So, when the salmon has eonn of age and is sent out in the cold world lie is as "tame as a cat," ti> qtiot* Mr. Neill, and when he meets an ene my he "stands with his mouth open and accepts murder as if such a tiling 1 were foreordained." i Wrong Kind of Toys. A man before the < ifv police judge for "bootlegging" explained the pros- ; ence of a number <>f empty half-pint bottles In his home ui this manner: , "I was savin' Vm for my little ' nephew, Willie." he said. "Willie likes to play with them." I "Half-pint hut lies are the -wrong ; kind of toys for Willie," the judge I returned, "and I line you .yio and ' costs." Inside Facts.

Like many other great men Dr. Bell had his romance. He was professor of vocal physiology in Boston and one of his pui ils Miss Mabel Hubbard who lost her hearing and speech whert a child. Hisl instruction of Miss Mabel was so suc-i cessful that she became his wife. ' Dr. Bell conducted experiments in his cellar working out his idea until the telephone was perfected. When Dr. Bell was buried an honor was paid to this inventor that no other received?15,000,000 telephone in this county and in Canada were hushed for one minute in respect to hismemory. Dr. Bell lived to see the modest beginning of the telephone develop into a system with 350,000 employes, 30,000,000 miles of wire and 35,000,000 daily messages. At the funeral services Longfellows Psalm of Life was recited. It was Dr. Bell's favorite poem, beginning, "Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream." TWO LUSTY INFANTS The other day in Congress when the Republicans were pleading for a high protective tariff in sugar to protect a weak and helpless infant industry, Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, held up two or three poor strugling industrips nnomtimr hppt snurnr nlnnts Hn said: "Let us take the Great Western ?' Sugar Co. It operate^lG big sugar factories. Its capital stock, common, is $15,000,000, and its preferred is $13,630,000. In 1916 it paid a dividend on $1,050,000. In. 1918 it declared a dividend on its preferred stock of $954,000 and on its common stock of $700,050,000. In 1921 this concern declared a dividend $954,000 on its preferred and $2,662,000 on its common. It declared a dividend on its preferred of 7 per cent and on its common of 17% per cent. "Let us take the Amalgamated Sugar Co. It operates eight beet-sugar factories in Utah and Idaho. In 1817 its net earnings were $2,680,000. It declared a dividend of $698,000. In 1921 the amount of dividend that was paid was $394,000. It was doing pretty well. But it is a little infant, which needs a little more milk in the way of a large tariff duty upon sugar." PATIENCE REWARDED The Pathfinder emphasizes the importance of patience and illustrates it by the fact that when Rlyra Green, of Hanover, New Jersey, was fifteen years old Jimmie Beach wanted to marry her. She told him to run along and get rich and she would marry him. He did run along, but whether he got rich "deponent sai'th not," but they got married the other day when Jimmy reached his 80th birthday. Myra is 75.

George Sword (Miwukan Yuhn?"Muii Who Carries a sswora j once iook mem?aim woni At the time he was captain of the India n police on the IMne ltidge reservation, recently organized by Agent McGllllcuddy In face of the bitterest opposition from Red Cloud's Ogallalas. The last great Sun Dunce of the Sioux, held at Tied Cloud's camp in 1881, wns attended by 10,000 Ogallalus and 2,000 Brutes from the Rosebud reservation. , One morning a Brule chief called on McGilltcuddy and In u most offensive manner demanded food. The agent ended the interview by kicking him out of the door. Wild with* anger the Indian rode away threatening to kill every white magt on the reservation. McGlllicuddy had only nine white men with him at the time, and although Sword and his 100 policemen were near at hand, they were an unknown quantity when it should come to lighting their own people. But the ngeijt was not long left in doubt. Sudr denly a band of Indians, stripped to war bonnet, breech clout and moccasins, dashed up to the agency. It was Sword and bis policemen. They bad discarded their uniforms and In the costume of Sioux warriors were ready to come to death grips with their own people in defense of their white chief. Within an hour the l.ruie chief "was hack with 400 warriors, and although they made a most threatening demonstration before the agency, they were so impressed by the determined front presented by Sword and his men that they did not attack. The next day M<-Gillicuddy's party escorted by Sword's policemen, went to the Sun Dance. Just before they leached the Indian camp, Sword put his company through a mounted drill, then suddenly breaking his cavalry formation, lie led them in a wild charge straight at the big camp. Round and round the village his young daredevils eireled, shouting their war cries and shooting over the heads of their people so fast that the bullets were dropping on the lodges like hail.

Resources of Chesterfield County Climate Chesterfield county-is situated in the northeastern part of South Carolina, lying south of the North Carolina counties of Anson and Union. The Pee Doe separates it from Marlboro County on the east, while Darlincrton to the south. Bordering on the western v side are found the counties of Kershaw and Lancaster. It :s eighth te among among the counties of the State in size, area being 837 square miles, or 535,680 acres. The Sand Hill belt, which form? the fall iine between the Piedmont Plateau and the Coastal Plain, c\tend? across the northwestern part of the county. The topography is mainly rolling or hilly, with smooth or nearly level area being found around Cheraw and McBee. Below Cheraw the river-terrace land, or second bottom, develops into the large area in the vicinity of Montrose and Casha. The bottom lands are rather extended, while the swampy sections are comparatively small, even along the larg or streams. Four systems ?r regional drainage, comprising two rivers, the Pee Dea and Lynches,and 2 creeks, Thompson and Big Black, together with their tributaries, make this a favored territory from a drainage viewpoint. The upland has a general elevation of from five hundred to seven hundred and fifty feet above sea level. Climate Following a line parallel to the sea coast, and dividing the State into halves, there is a strip of territory commonly known as the Sand ?Iills. This range is in effect a terrace, and on it are the celebrated winter resorts >f Camden and Aiken in South Carolina and Pine hurst in North Carolina. Che: terfield County lies directly acror-* the path of this range and once enjoys the mild winters that are peculiar to it. The inhabitants are hlnssed with a gift of nature, the benefits and pleasures of which the northern tourists travel many miles and spend much money to get. Residents fail to appreciate our ideal cli mate because it is a continuous thing and, for us, is free, but this in no wise decreases its value. Very largely to it can be attributed our low death rate *nnd healthly population. Such a tlimate is also particularly well adapted to the growing of fruit, while grains and the hardier crops may be grown throughout the year. \ ^ They Survive Anything "If you have never been an editor," Bays *0.
