Record Breaking Weather.

The Charleston Post says Saturday
proved the hottest October day on re-
cord in the history Of the United
States weather bureau. as far as max
imum readings have gone, the mer-
curry registering 93.3 degrees, $40
q degree in excess Of the maximum
reading heretofore recorded, on the
third of the month in 1883. The in
tense heat was of short duration for
the cool wave Of Saturday night put
an end to it. The fall in temperature
proved acceptable for the weather
has been unusually warm for this
season for several weeks.

John Sumter's Wound Fatal.

John Sumter, the Fort Motto ne
gro who was chopped in his head by
his wife, has died from the effects OF
the wound. 1t seems that the couple
ouarreled vigorously at frolic FIJI
day night, after a temporary and
spurious separation; that she follow
ed him home, deliberately seized an
axe and sent it into his face with
deadly effect. 1t is said that she
the hastily retreated and disappear
ed with another man. 1t is also SAID
that she has confessed unreservedly
to Sheriff Dantzler that she commit
ted the deed and there was no sign
of repentant tears or demeanor when
the news of his death was broken to
her.

WThe CIansman" Cancels.

Information has just been receiv-
cd by the local manager Of the Acad-
emy Of Music from the The Clans
man. company enroute that, on ac-
count OF a change in their routing,
they will be unable to play Orange
burg as advertised, but that they
will get later in the season. This is
sore disappointment to the
theatre-goers of this city and sur
rounding country, who were antlcl-
pating the pleasure of witnessing the
performance of the Clansman.

Laws Regarding the Road.

Some complaint has come regard
ing the giving of half the road in
case of an automobile coming up
behind a team. The parties claim
that when they come up behind a
fellow with team he stubbornly re-
fuses to give any of the road, no mat
ter If there is plenty of room to
turn out. Now the law recognizes
the rights of both the man with the
team and the man with auto, and
these rights should be respected.
The law says that when man is
overtaken by faster vehicle the
man driving the slower vehicle shall
turn out and give half of the beaten
path.

Talk Less and Work More.

Let us cultivate public spirit and
talk less and work more. Encourage
our local authorities in making I'M
provements. Speak up, speak WE'LL
talk encouragingly of our town and
it's bright prospects. 1t is these
many little considerations that makes
town grow. Nature has snowered
upon US her choicest blessings, and
with perfect unity and effort for the
good of our common cause, great Will

Needs a Freight Agent.

There seems to be little or no
doubt but the the Southern Railway
will soon put an agent at Jamison.
Such an official is badly needed
there. Some years ago a freight
agency was maintained at this place
by the railway, and there is more
need of it now trat there was then.
Besides the considerable amount of
freight shipped into Jamison, great
amount is shipped out of that place.
Several large lumber mills are locat-
ed near that point, and quantities of
lumber are loaded there annually.

the sole recipient of the bounty OF
corporations, to be alone considered?
That is the question to be debated;
that is the issue to be decided.
The Boil Weevil is in Southern
Alabama. Mr.. w. d. Hunter, in
charge fer the department of agricul-
ture, writes me that the fall disper-
sion is now on and that the main
body Of the weevils will perhaps
make fifty miles, with the skirmish-
ers going much farther. This will
bring the insect close to the Georgia
line and Georgia will be attacked next
fall. Georgia has taken action BY
passing the Hunters License for the
protection Of birds. South Carolina's s
turn comes next Will the small pol
itician permit the people to protect
themselves?

Train Ran into WaShOut.

A freight train on the Southern
Railway ran into a washout just
above st. Matthews. Three of the
train crew were slightly hurt. The
accident delayed the passenger trains
both ways, and as a consequence
they were several hours late in ar
irving here We could not learn the
extent of the injuries to the train
or engine.

abundant where found and confined
to fields furnishes this easy food
supply and hence is taken in great
quantities. Moreover most birds
relish the insect and eat it with avi-
dity. Therefore, it is clear that God
has placed in our hands the remedy
with which to stay the pest and a.
vert ruin.
Just today reports fly in from all
parts Of South Carolina as to DANA
ges done by the Cotton Leafcater-
piller (Argillacea alabama) and this
pest is eaten by birds too numerous
to mention. Prof. Conradi is au-
thority or the statement that black
birds cleaned these caterpillars off
ten thousand acres Of cotton near
Dallas, Texas, in days time.
But to our mutton:
Cultural methods will not save
South Carolina. There are no sum-
mers so hot as the summers of Texas
thermometer 130 degrees in mid
summer 1909-government reading),
nor are ever winters visited with sud
den cold, low enough to destroy in
sects. Winter cover is abundant in
tranch bottom, river swamp,
wood lot, briar patches and other
covered areas in South Carolina.
Our one hope lies in saving the
birds. The small politician has so
far defeated the will Of the people
and blasted the hope Of intelligent
thinkers.

ne than many children? Is he dear
er to us than our women? Is he, the

Granite Falls Journal: James
Falkingham, ianitor at the school
house, met with a peculiar accident
Monday evening. In his work Of
cleaning up the rooms he took a
waste basket from one Of the rooms
and emptied its contents into the
furnace, and before he got the fur
mace door closedl there was slight
explosion and something hit Jim in
/ the face just below the right eye. 1t
was evidently either a22 shell or else
a dynamite cap that had in some
manner gotten into the basket, prob
ably thrown in there by some boy
or else swept up from the floor
where boy had dropped it, At any
rate the bullet entered. Jim's face

from a gun. The doctor was unable
to find the bullet but thinks it
glanced out. Had it struck an inch

An electric line from st. Peter tc
Willmar and thence to Minneapolis
is said to be an assured thing. The
proposed line will probably cross
Renville county, touching at Olivia
and Franklin. The Minneapolis
i Tribune of April 1st says: Willmar
is the objective point of the inter
rubon line which is to be built this
year to St. Peter, if nothing hap
pens. The line will start north
from St. Peter leaving the valley OF
the Minnesota river, and will touch
at Norseland, New Sweden and other
points. From Willmar it is pro-
posed to go to the twin cities. This
route will avoid railway competition
and reach a territory that for a
strip forty miles wide does not have
a railroad. Olivia Times.
