Regent Hoffman is out in defense
of the recent Populistic change at the
State Agricultural college he says
at is all nonsense to say that the loss
Of President Fairchild and Mrs. Nellie
Kedzie will result disastrously to the
college. Would such a thing been
likely we should not have released
them. Of course, but believing we
could find better and more efficient
instructors, which we did, we let them
out" In view Of the fact that the
Populists and the regents have sought
to convey the impression that tne
members of the faculty resigned TINS
admission that the regents "let them

WEATHER AFFECTS DENTISTS PATIENTS
Some the Heat Makes Nervous While n
Soothes Others.

The effect of hot weather on a patient
is an interesting study to the dentist
II seems TO effect both sexes inlis-
cfiminately, but individuals vary wide
~. especially in filling teeth, wher.
the wear and tear on the nerves is
something wicked, does the strain show
itself
With some of the most highly
strung temperament the hot wealth.
acts as a quietus, and they are less
fidgety, because, no doubt, they arr
less sensitivcly active. A NOR,
phlegmatic Individual. who, under or.
binary weather conditions is 80 ex
tremely buoyant in spirit and nerve
force that he can stand most anything
becomes. as in the other case, less
active nervously. thus getting down I,
point where he has lost his grip anl
without being knocked out to the well
o-ahead-and do-your-w worst attitude
when his nerves would be at compare
tive ease. they are in high state OF
sensitlveness. Thus does the weather
effect some. but so various are temper
aments that correct congratulations are
impossible.
The season now is a busy one for den
fists as many people who have not had
their vacations are getting their jaws
ready for an untrammelled, unhandi-
capped good time at the sea shore %
mountains somewhere-and one feels
enough sight better for good outing
knowing that his teeth are sound. with
no holes anywhere.
There are some who do not patronize
their local dentists. but. having, often
by chance, had some good work done
for them at some place away, wait un
til their annual or otherwise periodical
visits there, so as to get their work
done by their favorite ID. d. s He's
so dear. He never hurts me-" is a com
mon remark from the gentler and nat
urally the more nervous sex
Thus do dentists in one place get
much work from people whose homes
are away, and in going about among
the Augusta dentists, one would prob
ably find none who did not have some
patients who were included among our
regular visitors.
While at present it is a busy time
with city patients. there are few from
the country districts, as there they are
all too busy at this time.

The Nay Crop.

The recent hot weather will do much
for the hay crop, the farmers say. N
this section, anyway, and no doubt this
is equally true all over the State. One
said, Thursday that he knew Of but
one who had attempted to do any cut
ting, and that this one soon found il III
least impracticable in that the moving
machine and horses sank into the soil
SO deep that ii soon discouraged him.
The earth is still very wet and spongy.
The hay crop usually comes alona
about the first Of July. On account Of
the unreasonable weather il has been
much delayed, this year. and the
farmers are. consequently, in a hurry
to get into the work.
The majority of them. however, are
taking their time in the expectation
that in short order the sunshine will
bring out a good crop.
Hay on the market place today can
be bought for S13 ton, about the same
price as last year. In 10 days, it Is
estimated, the new hay will come
along.
