Lightning Does Damage.

During severe electric storm at
Darlington Monday evening the coun-
try home of Coyt Wilson was struck
by lightning, and Mrs. Wilson su-
stained severe shock. A piano and
sideboard in the house were ruined.
Mrs. Wilson's injuries are not Of a
serious nature. A hail storm also
visited a large part of Darlington
county Monday afternoon, and grow
ing crops were greatly injured. The
plantation Of w. B. McCown, near
here, probably suffered more than
any in this neighborhood. It will be
necessary for him to replant large
part of it.

THE WOODFORD REUNION.
Company Of Confederate Vett rams
Assemble Once Again.

The following article from the
Lexington Dispatch Is published by
request:
It was the editors pleasure to at
tend the reunion of old Confeds at
Woodford on last Tfursday.-the re-
union of Capt. Joel Knots 60. K 1st
South Carolina Volunteers, Maxcey
Greggs' regiment-the first soldiers
to enter the service at the begin
ming of that memorably struggle in
1851. It was one of the most pleas
ant meetings of the kind it has ever
been our good fortune to attend. 1t
was not only a meeting Of old vet
erans, but here the people of the ELI
tire community gathered to do honor
to the men who wore the grey, and
everyone We'd with each other in an
effort to make the occasion one long
to be remembered.
A bountiful dinner was served by
the ladies-a dinner such as only
the good women Of that section of
Orangeburg and Lexington know how
to prepare and serve-yea, dinner
fit for the gods.
The rendition Of delightful pro-
gram of songs, etc., appropriate to
the occasion, was much enjoyed by
everyone.
All told, there were about thirty
or forty old soldiers present, many
Of whom came from a. distance. 1t
was a pleasure indeed to hear these
old comrades recite Of the days when
they were facing the enemy amid
shot and shell, and many were the
"reminiscences told.
: There. was throughout that feeling
Of warm fellowship which will con-
tinue to exist as long as life shall
last, and when the last old soldier
has answered the final summons,
their deeds of valor and devotion to
duty will ever be cherished by the
sons and daughters, who will hold
dear to their hearts the memory of
their fathers.

Needs Rain Badly.

4 dispatch from Springfield says
rain has fallen in the neighborhood

heretofore unknown in this section.
Deep wells are being bored, and at

struck, directly under which an un-
limited supply of pure, cold water
is found.

To Develop Kentucky Oil and Gas
Fields.

Glasgow, KY, Jan. "A company
composed of Kentucky and Kansas
capitalists has just been organized for
the purpose of operating for oil and
natural gas in Southern Kentucky.
Several members of the new company
are now taking leases on prospective
Oil lands i'm Barren, Cumberland and
Butler counties, and are making an
exhaustive research of the prospects
of striking oil in paying quantities
and are favcrably impressed with the
outlook.
The wells recently drilltr in Butler
county ara still producing oil in pay
ing qualities, and the few company
will this week order the machinery
and the work of drilling for Oil in that
county will begin at once
Barren county abounds in natural
gas which has been found many times
while drilling wells for water. Many
years ago gas was struck ON the Brad
ford farm, three miles from town. The
well was abandoned, as many Others
have been. because the company was
not drilling for gas. Some time
since the Messrs Bradford concluded
theywould pipe the gas TO thsir resi-
dence and use It for both fuel and
light. This was done at small cost.

The Problem Of Divorce.

According to the census of 1890
Y there was married population. in the
pited States of 22,447, 7e9, with an
annual average of 93,197 divorces.
That is, there was one divorce to ev-
Cry 676 of married population. Ac-
cording to the census of 1919, there
was a married population of 27,770,-
l01, with an annual divorce record of
b5,5O2,or one divorce to every 500 of
married population. Between 1887 and
1906 the record of divorces reaches
the amazing total of 942,625. Almost
a million American marriages went
to pieces in twenty years. That is,
disruption overlook 47,2S1 marriages
a year, 3,940 month-more than 1901
day
No one section of the country prof.
duces much larger divorce cropI
than another. Louisiana, with its
large Catholic population, Mormonl
Utah, and Unitarian Massachusetts,
turkish similar figures. Broadly
speaking, the divorce rate rises aus we
cross the map westward, but, ON the
whole, the rate is fairly even thruout
the country. The rate DIS slightly
larger in cities than in the country.
but divorce is by no means a city
problem.
1t is astonishing to find that divorce
laws, stringent or liberal, affect the
rate very slightly. New Hampshire
Utah and South Dakota show almost
exactly the same proportion of divorce
per population and per marriages
New York with its one cause for di-
yorce,and New Jersey with it's half /,
dozen causes show rate nearly dden..
