burg, judge of the First circuit, elect
ed in 1911, has decided to resign from
the bench and take up the practice of
law at Orangeburg.
Governor Blease has granted a re-
prieve to Sam n. Hyde, the Anderson

pending further investigation by a
sanity commission. Hyde was to have
been electrocuted today.
There are second races on in
Greenville and Spartanburg for sher-

Bleaseism. That Is especially true in
Greenville. In Spartanburg, both can

Greenville ex-Sheriff John d. Gill
reath Is opposing Henry d. Rector.
Rector is the avowed Blease man. The
fight is growing to be something fierce

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The recent at of congress relating
to Sunday mails does not affect the
Yorkvblle postoffice and Sunday mails
are being distributed as heretofore.
Only first and second class offices are
affected. Yorkville Is In the third
class.
Charlotte Observer: The twenty
fourth annual report Of the Yorkville
graded schools Is issued In Illustrated
pamphlet form and Is an attractive
piece Of work. The schools of York
Vile are dedicated Ito the earnest cul-
tivation in it's pupils of good health,
sound learning and sincere character"
Evidently the town Of Yorkville takes
pride in its schools, and that being the
case, they are bound to be among the
best.
The twenty-fourth annual report
of the Yorkville Graded schools, just
issued, is probably the most ambitious
effort along the line of public school
advertising that has yet been produced
in South Carolina There are eighty
large pages Of it splendidly printed on
expensive super -calendared paper, and
carrying full information about the
schools, the board Of trade, the town
generally and illustrated with more
The engravings picture the school
buildings inside and outside along with
the pupils Of the various grades and in
the athletic departments. They also
show many Of the towns handsomest
residences, business houses and manu-
featuring plants, along with street
scenes and views Of daily life. Then
there are numerous local advertise
ments that give lively idea Of the up
to-date character Of most of the busi-
ness and professional people. Not only
does this handsome pamphlet carry all
that is necessary to be carried to tell
about the schools In general and de-
tail; but taken altogether 1t tells the
story Of the town as whole as we'll as
the story Of any South Carolina town
has ever been told. This most credi-
table production Is due largely to the
personal efforts Of Mr.. J. H. Wither-
spoon, superintendent Of the Yorkville
graded schools backed by the business
houses and other people of the town
generally.

thus affecting 10000 men with pro-
portionate increases to carriers on
shorter routes. The order will become
effective September 80. This will
mean an increased disbursement of
$4,000,000 a year. 1t is the second
salar tdvance for rural carriers made
in the last four years. At the close OF
the last fiscal year on June 80, there
were 42,031 rural mail carriers, the
aggregate pay being S4O,655,74O.
When the rural delivery system was
instituted sixteen years ago, S3 car
riers were employed at an annual
cost of $14,S40, the maximum indi-
vidual pay being $500 year. The in
crease provides rural carriers ad-
equate compensation for additional
burdens to be imposed by the parcels
post system, effective January l.
1.-The parcels post system on rural
mail routes can be conducted prac-
tically with no extra expenses to the
government, except the increased sal
ary allowance to carriers said Mr..
Hitchcock. I'm my judgement this
additional cost will be more than Of
set by an increased revenue, thus in
Suring the maintenance and, from
time to time the extension Of the ru-
raj delivery system as Self-support-
ing branch of the postal service" Mr..
Hitchcock has directed, also, that ru-
raj mail carriers on the completion of
the twelve months service, be granted
fifteen days leave with pay. This
will require the additional expenditure
of $4,000 a year in the payment Of
substitute carriers.
Washington, September l. Reports
thus far received by officers of the
war department on the recent coun-
try-wide army maneuvers indicate
that the militia establishment of the
nation is more enthusiastic and Of
greater force than has Been the case
since 1898 when the war with Spain
aroused the citizen soldiery. The reg
ular army judged by the same maneu-
vers. is regarded as a more effective
fighting force than before the Texas
mobilization and it's participation with
the militia maneuver camps. Regu-
lar army officers attribute the greater
interest being taken in the militia tol

The Cause Of Loss in Cattle.

|
Several weeks ago a number OF
cattle died near Jackson, Miss,
and it was reported that the
loss was caused by the solution in
the dipping vats being too strong
and the cattle absorbing enough to
cause illness or that they drank
the solution. A post mortem ex.
animation was held and it was
held and it was found that the
trouble was tick fever caused by
very small ticks that could not be
seen with the necked eye. In re.
gard to the matter the Jackson
News says:
The ticks found on the cattle
were very small, and had been
overlooked by the owners. The
regular dipping Of cattle frees
them of all ticks present at the
time, but cattle are again placed
in the ticky pastures and the
small seed ticks attach themselves;
hence the necessity of frequent
and regular dippings every four
teen days. During the month of
May there were officially dipped
under supervision in Mississippi
80, 900 herds of cattle with a total
of S55, 900 head of cattle.
The arsenical solution will poi
son cattle if they drink a sufficient
amount of it, and it is urgently
recommended that cattle be al
lowed to drink water previous to
being dipped; the tar in the solu-
tion imparts an odor and taste re-
pugnant to cattle, but they will
drink it if people deny then wa
ter several hours. If cattle are
poisoned with arsenic they show
the symptoms very soon after the
drug is taken, and not several
days later.
Remember, about 15 per cent. of
all the cattle in every Mississippi
county have died each year from
tick fever and they never will be-
come immune until the tick is
eradicated and then there won't
be any tick fever or murrain.
Cattle, too, die from black leg
every year and it is recommended
that owners vaccinate each year,
that's good and cheap insurance,
it will also apply in neighbor.

GRASS WORM BECOMES A MENACE.


A Waralng Lsttsv from the csstsn cul.
tuFs Department II NJ 4 O.. r. r.
Owing to the excessive rainfall
some Of the species OF grass worm
have become SO numerous that they
have attacked the corn In several
sections Of the state and are doing
considerable amount Of damage.
1t will be well for the farmers of
Noxubee to be on the lookout for
these pests.
Should you find your field in
fected the Cotton Culture depart.
ment of the Mobile & Ohio wishes
to recommend the following recipe
as a sure destroyer if properly
used:
One pound of paris green to fifteen
pounds Of -four if thoroughly mixed and
sifted in the tops of the corn; or
One pound of paris green to thirty
five gallons of water. used as spray.
Arsenate Of Lead. applied the same
as In poisoning the cotton army worm,
will do the same work.
also at this time, wish to ad-
wise the farmers to keep close
watch on their cotton for falling
squares. Should you find them
examine them closely for a brown
spot on the bud, near the base. If
you find this spot press your finger
lightly on it, and if it has a prick
ing sensation you will know this
is a good sign of boil weevil infes-
tation, but do not create any ex-
element until you are quite sure
that it is weevil work. If you are
in doubt send the squares and bugs
to this Office, or to our general Of
fee at Chattanooga, Tenn, and
you will receive information with
out delay.
Weevils have been found at
Russell, on the A. G. 8. r, r. and
at Mehan. Very truly,

The Money-Making Farmers.

Those who declare that the
country has been ruined by the
boil weevil should stop and think
how few men have made money out
of the growing of cotton. Those
who have made money from this
crop have usually spent it all in
their efforts to make bumper
crops. A careful review of the
situation will convince any fair
minded man that the only men
who have made money in farming
are those who have grown other
crops besides cotton, and have
raised cattle, hogs, horses and
mules. .-Woodville Republican.

Why England Is HoardIns cOttOn.

Now, In our opinion, a thing Is
coming to pass as unusual as 1t is
important and ominous. Great
Britain, which has upon It's hands
as a condition Of domestic peace
a I'd prosperity. the keeping of
the Lancashire and other spindles
busy. has for many weeks stead
lily accommodating cotton, and
early in the winter sifted the
American crop and carried home
the cream of it. This unusual
demand at the very threshold of
a new harvest, and accumulation
at figures outbidding the home
and continental markets, is not
based upon increased consump-
ton or unusual demand for cot
ton fabrics; for we know there is
no unusual call from any quarter,
but on the other hand universal
sluggishness in trade. There is
but one reasonable Interpretation
of the movement and accumula-
ton. and that is the determina-
ton of our British cousins to en-
ter the market of 1928 abso-
lutely independent of combina-
tions or conditions. With raw
material enough on hand to run
without reference to offerings or
withholdings, and to enable them
take cotton as they choose at
every favorable down" in the
market, and to hold off whenever,
prices are not tempting. 1t ena-
bles them also to fortify against
those adverse possibilities Incl
dent to weevil, flood and blight,
and puts them. with ample emer-
pency stocds, on fair footing in
the new crop market, with the
mills of America and the conti-
nent. Aberdeen Examiner.

home on the Highlands. Captain
Foote has been suffering with gall

the late Judge Fl. W. FOOtc, of

that district for a number of years.
Judge FOote held the Office Of
Justice of the Peace for a number
of years and was always fair and
honorable in all of his decisions.

did his duty for his country, and
has died an honored Confederate
soldier. There are left to mourn
