Raronefrfc Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind Of weather to be e1-
pected. At least this Is the opinion Of
many raisers Of bees.
Generally the bee stays ct home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not'leave their dwelling all
at once. A few &c out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate, and
it is only then that the battalions en-
tire rush out in search Of their nectar.
A bee never goes out in fog, because
it is well aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsome, redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however,
that the bee Is meteorologist in the
absolute sense Of the word. Its clever
ness consists In never being taken un-
awares, for it possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud-
den entrance Of bees into the hive
when dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain is not in evidence.

influenza.

It is very we'll known that the in
fuenza Is not an exclusively modern
complaint, but I am not sure whether
a curious reference to it by Bower, the
continuatcr Of Fordun's chronicle, has
been noted. Writing Of the year 1920
he says that among those who died in
Scotland that year were Sir Henry st.
Clair, earl Of Orkney; Sir James Doug
las of Dalkeith, Sir William de Aber-
nethy, Sir William de St. Clair, Sir Will
liam Cockburn and many others, all by
"that infrmity whereby not only great
men, but nnumerable quantity Of the
commonalty, perished, which was 7ul-
carly termed lie Quhew lie Quhew a
vurgaribus dicebaturl" Bower, 1T,
32) Now, "quh" in Scottish texts usu-
ally represents the sound Of "wh"
Droperly asDirated) Therefore 1t
seems that in the fifteenth century the
influenza was known as "the whew,"
just as it is known in the twentieth
century as "the fue.''
I have refrained from quoting at
length Bowers explanation Of the
cause Of the epidemic, but there seems
little doubt that the disease was iden-
tical with that with which we are so
grievously familiar. - Notes and Que

Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times
Rains in this section have been
quite frequent. but on the 30th we
had what might he called a trash
driver and log foater.
I noticed in your last issue that
Mr.. Henry Johnson, Il notable farmer
from this section had to say about
his cotton shedding. It may be that
he did not use nitrate of soda in
time to stop that shedding, I think
if he had he would have corrected
the trouble.
I Idesire to correct, through fault
Of mine, a misunderstanding about
the complaint of the tobacco market
at Manning. My letter could have
been construed to mean that all Of
those engaged in the warehouse bus
mess are to blame for a majority Of
the farmers of this section taking the
product elsewhere. l should have
excepted Mr.. Charles N. Mason and
his warehouse. believe the people
are satisfied Ethat he is doing all
he can to build up market for
Manning and if any tobacco is run
off it is not because he makes those
who sell on his floor " tote' an order
to the store. Mason pays off in bank
checks or the cash right in his office
and he treats everybody alike. l
like to carry my tobacco to Manning,
but will tell you that if you give q
dog a bad name you. might as we'll
kill him, and the Manning market
has been given bad name this year.
Why, it is reported over here that a
respectable white man sold his to-
bacco, was given an order, and the
cash was refused him, claiming that
he owed an old debt. The man ap-
pealed to the magistrate at Manning
before he could get his money. Now
you know, Mr.. Editor, trick of this
sort might be worked off on an igno-
rant niger, but white people will
not submit to it.
Judge Windham has cried out too
quick, for the cap that he fitted to
himself was not his. He says he has
the writer spotted and wonders what
he will do when his appetite is good
and sharp. There is nothing to Won
der at about that, the Judge will
simply eat to his appetite's content,
Just as all of those court house chaps
do when they get to Salem picnic,
and the doctors will be OF more SER
vice than Glenn springs.
see where Governor McSweeney
has granted a pardon to Colonel
Neal, regardless of judges, jurors,
etc. Had Neal been a poor man he
might have been imprisoned for life.
Your editorial about the Governors
action in this matter disagree with.
Usually you are correct, but in this
matter l think you are mistaken, but
what you did TO: Mr.. Traxler Of Tim
monsville was plenty, and if I was
him I should not attempt to act in
representative capacity again, l
would ask my people to delegate a
wiser head"

his letters than from any other
source on national issues, and |
would advise everybody to read
them carefully.

pers, but when the Senator met with
mis- misfortune all of the big newspa-
pers went on their heads about it,
and sent special reporters to watch
the progress of his wound. l do de-
spise this sickening toadying.
The political aggregation must
have been much surprised at the
Anderson meeting when Senator Nc
Laurin rolled in on them while they
were charging him with running
from them, and although the News
and Courier'S account showed that
McLaurin had many friends in the
crowd, the headline writer did his
best to weaken the force of the re-
port by misleading headlines sand.

should like very much for meeting
to be arranged so that Senators Till
man and McIaurin could discuss
these great national issues without
any time limit, and if some Of our
public men would get up an invita-
tion for a joint debate between these
two I believe good will result from
it.. I do not think it fair for crowd
of opponents to pounce down on one
man, and if such must be, the one
man should be allowed to open the
debate and close with a reply to the
whole aggregation.
l read your pointed questions to
Col. R. D. Lee Of Sumter, published
in the News and Courier, and have
also read his reply, or rather what is
given as his reply. If our Senator
hasn't put the celebrated lawyer in a
hole then I'll be switched. Just as
soon as read your questions I said
"old Ap." has got after mighty
sharp fellow, but from the questions
asked Lee is in bad shape to make
much of a reply. His reply verified
my opinion. for he stammered out a
lot of stuff that was not asked him,
like the coon who sang Mr.. John
sing turn me loose, I'se got no money
but a good excuse" "B."

Changed Times.

Times have changed indeed from the
time when Sydney Smith complacently
observed that the United States had
so much wilderness clearing to do that
it might well take its literature, learn
ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng
lish factories.
'"Why," he had asked, SHOULD the
Americans write books when a SIX
weeks passage brings them, in their
own tongue, our sense, science and gen.
ius in bales and hogsheads? Prairies,
steamboats,, gristmills, are their nat
ural objects for centuries to come"
We might almost reverse this and
ask, "Why should the English feel Ill
at ease when a six days passage brings
them our sense, science and genius"
For the time at least the Rev. sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author Of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief as it was bitter.-Har-
peTs Weekly.
