From One Vagrant Stalk.

At his home three miles south
of Fort Mill, Mr.. j. d. Withers
has a small patch of cotton which
he has tended with unusual care
and which he is watching with
a great deal of interest. The
variety of the cotton is unknown
to Mr.. Withers. Last year he
ordered a quantity of cotton seed
from Georgia which were planted
on his farm. After the cotton
came up he noticed one stalk
which appeared to be unlike
the balance and he determined
to save the seed from the odd
stalk and experiment with them
this year. The cotton from
eighty full-grown bolls was
gathered from the stalk and the
seed were taken from the lint
by hand. Last spring the seed
were planted in six rows 81
yards long in Mr.. Withers' gar
den, without the application of
any fertilizer. The cotton has
grown 10 an average helght OF
more than six feet and is loaded
down with bolls to such an ex-
tent that some of Mr.. Withers'
neighbors who have seen the
patch think he will get 1000
pounds of seed cotton from it;
but Mr.. Withers does not think
the yield will amount to more
than 600 pounds. Mr.. Withers
will have the cotton carefully
ginned and if the production is
as great as he thinks it will be,
he will use all of the seed in
planting his crop next year.

Health Service Discusses Rabies.

Hydrophobia is a reality and
not dream, incurable and not
infallibly preventable, and is a
respecter of no particular season
or species of mammal, says a
national public health service
report. A. Nj. StimSon, it's
author, repudiates certain mad
dog fallacies and his report ad-
mits rabies may not be uniform
ly fatal, though it is almost so.
Mad dogs are not always wild
eyed and frothing at the mouth
and determined upon any and
everybody they see.
The rabiJ dog" says the re-
port, is sick; he is not necessarily
running wild and furious; he is
frequently obedient up to a late
stage, and often seems to have
bone in his throat or to have
sustained injury to the back"
Another fallacy is the general
belief that rabies is much more
easily transmitted in the summer
than in other months. The ex-
planation is that more people
are moving about and become
subject to attack. Nor is the
malady confined to any climate
or region. 1t is liable to occur
in the Arctic or the equatorial
jungles. Dogs, wolves, coyotes
and skunks seem to be especially
susceptible.

Talk of Contest for DR.. Saye.

There was some talk in Fort
Mill during the last week of Mr..
S. H. Epps, Sr., filing a contest
with the State executive COM
mittee for the seat to which DR..
j. H. Saye has apparently been
elected in the General Assembly,
but Mr.. Epps has refused to file
such claim and the proposed con-
test has been abandoned.
1t will be recalled that there
was some doubt about DIR. Saye
complying with the rules of the
party by failing to file his pledge
with the county chairman before
the time limit expired on August
13 and that the matter was con-
sidered at a special meeting of
the county executive committee
at Tirzah a few days after the
campaign opened. The COM
mittee ruled that DR.. Saye was
entitled to become a candidate
and that his name should go on
the official ballot, though men,
bers of the committee afterwards
expressed the opinion that the
decision was clearly a violation
of the party rules and that if DR..
Saye should defeat any other
candidate for nomination the de-
feated candidate would have a
good case before the State
executive committee.
Something was said at the Tir-
zah meeting about an agreement
among the candidates for the
General Assembly waiving the
right to contest the seat of DR..
Saye, but no such agreement was
entered, The Times is informed.
Since Mr.. Epps has refused to
contest the seat of DR.. Saye it is
said to be within the rights of
either of the other three defeat
ed candidates, Messrs. Glasscock,
Wallace or Gettys, to file a claim
for the seat.
