know what warmth of soil Is neces-
sary to start termination and the
amount of heat and moisture required
later to bring the crop to successful
maturity. Beginning with this knowl-
edge, the need of actual observations

that he may be able to determine how

Such records cannot be made, how
ever, without the aid of good instru-

less unreliable as weather recorders.

Taught a Lesson.

Governor Blease on Monday paroled
during good behavior Charlie Graham.
q son OF Mr. Lawrence Graham OF Pine
wood. Charlie was convicted N the
Sumter court on the charge OF stealing
4 bicycle from lawyer OF the city OF
Sumter, his first trial resulted IN mis-
trial, but the second conviction: the boy
who was only l9 years OF age, was SEN
fenced to three years in the penlten-
tiarv-a heavy sentence. When the ap-
plication was made for the parole OF the
bov. the petition was signed by many
who do not believe that the boy was al
together responsible for the deed, but
if responsible. he had been sufficiently
punished. The petition was referred to
the trial Judge and the solicitor, neither
of whom recommended the parole, how
ever. the governor did receive letters,
together with the petition. and the
showing made to him. convinced him
the boy had been sufficiently punished;
that it would be in the interest of hu-
nanitv, and the boys future welfare to
give him chance to make man OF
himself. We heartily approve OF the
governors course in this matter, and we
believe the nope which prompted him
70 give the boy his freedom will be real
lied, in that. he will go to his fathers
home and go to work. The father OF
Charlie Graham is substantial citizen
O: the Pinewood section. but the boys
wavwardness is due to his being an IN
SOPHISTICATED country youth, who got IN
bad company in the swift little city of
Sumter.

Oridin of Dukes.

The word duke comes from the Latin
"dux," a leader. In early Saxon times
the commanders Of armies were called
dukes-i. e., the leaders Of the soldiery.
In other words, the first duke was the
first best fighting man. No regard was
had to- ancestry or present atta1nments
or any other sort Of thing beyond the
simple matter Of Warlilke efficiency.
Naturally the leader Of the fighting
would when the lighting was over come
in for the lions share Of the spoils and
"honors," and naturally again the rest
Of the folks would 'look up" to him,
and by degrees his superiority would
be impaired to his family, and a no
bility" would spring into being. 1t all
rested, to start with, on brute force and
animal courage combined with cunning

Cursino In Korea.

a strange way Of cursing is that OF
the Korean. His ordinary swear word
is "Oenuma," or "You brute" The
Japanese have the same partially for
this term Of endearment. But accord
ing to the Oriental Economic Review
the Korean considers himself especial
ly abusive when he calls a person his
child or grandchild. When he wants
to call somebody down the Korean
demands hotly, "Are you not my
child?" And the angry retort Is:
what! I your child? You are my
grandchild." Then the first goes q
step further and cries, "You are a
grandchild Of my grandchild! to
which the rejoinder is: "You conceit-
ed fellow! Have you forgotten that
you are q grandchild Of grandchild

tuperation reaches its climax the peo-

COMING TO MANNING JUNE y.
The Cle:uson-T Winthrop Agricultural and Do
mestic Science Train.

Owing to circumstances oyer which
we had no control the date of the
starting cf our train has been some
what delayed and it is now planned
to get it under way about the 5th of
June, and arrive at Manning June
22nd.
The people Of this State should un
derstand that while this train is plan
ned and equipped by Winthrop and
Clemson colleges yet had it not been
for the hearty and liberal co-opera-
tion Of the railroads Of this State its
operation would not have been pos
sible The three great systems OF the
State. the Southern, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
have from the very beginning met the
proposition in the most cordial and
liberal manner. Not only are they
furnishing the equipment in the
shape of cars for this train but they
are also moving that train entirely
free of charge. I think it but proper
that this fact should be known as an
evidence Of the interest that these
roads are taking in the welfare of the
people of the State.
Since the last notice of this train
was given to the public another car
has been added thereto by Winthrop
college. This car will be filled with an
exhibit Of Household conneniences
and should prove quite an attractive
and of educational value. 1t has also
been found possible to add more
stock to the equipment OF the Live
Stock Car so this feature will be es-
pecially complete.
The visit of this train should be of
particular interest to the boys Of the
various corn clubs of the State and
it is expected that they will turn out
in force, therefore, special work along
the line of corn judging and cultiva-
ton will be given by Prof. Napier
and the train will also be accompan-
led by Prof. G. B. Hadden who is now
in charge of the Boys Corn Club work
in this State, working under the joint
direction of Clemson college and the
u. S. Farm Demonstration Work.
Miss Hyde, in charge of the Win
throp cars, will have a competent
corps of assistants and has outlined
an extremely interesting program for
ladies who visit the train.
It is hoped that everyone will real
ize that it will take the full day to
get the maximum of benefit from this
train and that they will make it a
point to reach it early. One day is all
the time that can be allowed at sim
gle point and we want to urge all
who can to be on hand promptly so
as to get the greatest benefit out Of
The train possible.

Wonderful AnimafcuIae.

Of all the minute creatures that in
habit this globe unseen by the naked
eye there Is none so astonishing, ac-
cording to the Scientific American, as
the little living things that live in
stagnant water. They are called slip
per animalculee, or, as the scientist
has it, the paramecium. These tiny,
Invisible things develop so rapidly that
# they were able to live through $50
generations they would crowd every
other living thing off the face Of the
earth and form a mass larger than the
planet itself Should they go on re-
producing until the nine hundredth
generation these little creatures would
form mass large enough to crowd
the moon and stars and even the sun
entirely out Of space. Luckily for US
this is not possible, according to na-
ture's decree. The paramecium dies
after it has attained the one hundred
and seventieth generation, and so the
awful possibilities are checked Of It's
multiplying to fill the universe.

A Bird That Is Feared.

The elster Pica candata) is bird
that Is respected and feared through
out south Germany. It belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size Of a
dove, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. It builds its
nest In orchards, and its life is sacred.
If it is seen three times In succession
on the same bousetop in a place re-
mote from its home it is believed to be-
a sure sign Of death in that house. It
it flies over a house where eny one is
III and gives its peculiar cry the sick
person is sure to die, but i 1t does not
scream the patient may recover. It is
better for the sick person If the bird
does not come near. No one could be
hired to bother these birds for fear
they might seek revenge, and II by
chance one Of them should die it IS
sign Of bad luck to the owner Of the
property where it Is found The
bird is valuable insect destroyer and
in this way probably more than COM
pensates for the fear it occasions
among the farmers.

Servants In Turkey.

Turkey is not nearly so benighted as
we imagine, for there is 10 servant
question there. Though slavery is still
recognized, the kadun (mistress Of the
house, is a mother to her servants,
whom she treats as children, and no
children in the world are better treated
than Turkish children. The most pain
full thing the kadun can do to a maid
IS to say: 1.-THE master has found q
good husband for thee. Thou wilt be
married at such and such time"
'Oh, mistress, what have / done to
be thus abandoned?" Is the usual sor-
rowful response.
Even after the servants marriage the
kindly relations between mistress and
maid continue. There are no fixed
servant wages in Turkey. Faithful
servants are rewarded from time to
time in accordance with their masters
or mistresses' good pleasure or circum-
stances.-Chicago Journal.

SUMMERTON.

In conhning my correspondence OF
this week to the mention OF the two en-
tertainments given during the past
week, I make no excuse. feeling sure
public opinion justi6es it. They are cor
relative In that they both demonstrate
the developed and developing gifts OF
those participating.
On Wednesday evening, May 3lst a
comedy entitled, ''The Elopement of
Elem was rendered in the graded
school auditorium. 1t is usually custo-
mary, believe, to report the star" of
such performance but as it is the con-
census OF opinion that there were seven
stars, permit me to give the cast as it
appeared on the programs:
Richard Ford, devoted young husband

Molly, his wife. -. Mrs. Richbourg

The presentation of the play, its pref
ty scenic arrangement, and the music
between acts, combined to make the en-
tertainment an eminent success. The
receipts were far beyond expectation,
realizing quite handsome sum for the
two organizations for which it was got
ten up. The ''Racketeers" tennis club,
assisted by the Sumnerton Fire Depart
ment was instrumental in its presenta-
tion: and each is to receive half OF the
proceeds. Summerton is to be congrat-
ulated upon her wealth of local talent.
Another evidence of this possession
was manifested IN the well rendered
program at the closing exercises of the
Summerton graded school, which took
place Friday evening. The chief feature
of the program was an oratorical con-
test, in which six boys took part. The
selections were good, and each acquitted
himself most creditably. The decision
of the judges, was rendered by the Rev.
Kershaw, who acknowledged their diff
iculty in reaching any conclusion. The
vote, he stated was not unanimous, but
was found to be in favor of Mr.. Winfred
Rodgers. The medal was then present
ed to Mr.. Rodgers by MIR. Ellison Ca
pers. Alternating with these orations,
number of pretty instrumental selec-
tions were rendered by the young Ia
dies of Miss Harper's music class.
