MAY BRING COLONY HERE

Mrs. Alice Brandt and two little
daughters arrived in Roundup last
week from Grand Rapids, Mich, to
make a thoro investigation of the
many claims set forth for the Treasure
State as paradise for the farmer with
view to eventually bringing out
about IS families from Michigan to
make their homes here. She will re-
main here for several months, having
decided that Musselshell county offers
better advantages than any other Sec
tion she has visited, after which she
will return to report to the people who
are desirous of coming to Montana.

ALFALFA WEEVIL is HERE
Record Has on Display Number Of
Dreaded Beetles and Samples Of
It's Handiwork.

The alfalfa weevil has made it's ap-
pearance in Roundup and right in the
heart of the city, too. The much dread
ed beetle is perfectly harmless, how
ever, in this instance as every one of
them has been captured and put in
irons. They are now on display at
The Record office for the edification OF
ranchers who are anxious that the
threatened invasion of the weevil will
be effectively and permanently pre-.
vented. The weevils, together with
larvae, cocoons and some injured al
falfa, were sent to The Record by r. A.
Cooley, state entomologist, and are
now on display at this office.

RECENT COOL WEATHER
HURT GROWING CROP

That the chilling rainy weather
which prevailed during the past
week over portions of the cotton
growing belt will curtail the crop
at least a million bales, is the
opinion in quarters where the
weather map is studied in con.
nection with the effects of the
weather on the various crops.
Cotton in the growing state is
peculiarly sensitive to cold, al
though it bears up we'll under
the sun and will not be affected
unless the drouth is unusually
excessive.
The unusual weather conditions
for June, usually one of the
softest and mildest of the sum-
mer months, were prevalent
throughout South Carolina, where
the growing of cotton is the
principal agricultural pursuit.
Some of the students of weather
conditions and crop prospects
are VI lIle OPINION that the staple
has suffered to a considerable
extent as the result of the chill
ling rains that have fallen. The
air, too, was heavy with moisture
for three days and the vitality
OF the growing crops was put to
a severe test. Early fruit was
dropping, though that which had
developed firmly withstood fairly
well the ordeal which the ele-
ments had assigned to the Sunny
South, which did not seem to
be living up to it's name during
the recent conditions.
Cotton is the leading financial
crop of the State and any in
f1uence which tends to prevent
a full maturity of the planted
staple is viewed with anxiety by
the planters.

mencement of Furman Uni

who acquitted himself with much
honor was our own townsman.
Rev. Robt. G. Lee. He had two
honors bestowed upon him. One
for a most excellent Grafton he
delivered commencement night
the subject of which was
"Civilization's Debt to the In
ventor." 1t was a masterpiece
and well delivered. For it he
was awarded the Durham medal.

greatest one can gain in the
college. Mr.. Lee also won the
Watson medal for having writ
ten the best piece in the college
magazine. The subject of it
was The Comforter" and in it
ne showed himself to be a poet
of no mean ability. | think it is
only right to mention also a most
excellent short story he wrote
called The Mills of Grief" and

has ever been guilty of immoral
conduct with the opposite sex
might read this splendid pro-
duction of Mr.. Lees.
Mr.. Lee finished this year the

Lancaster Mans Invention.

That Lancaster Leads con-
tinually is again attested by the
fact that MIR. A. K. Collins of
this place has recently patented
two devices, the like of which
has never been on the market
before. One is for making
change and the other is a coin
changing and vending machine
combined. There are eight or
ten different types of the ma
chimes which will sell from SIS
up to $50.
The machines are made to
change any piece of silver from
a nickel up to a dollar, and they
are perfectly honest. They work
automatically and will not take
In your money unless it is ready
to give you the change. And if
there is a faulty piece of money
put in, it is left exposed for sew
eral times before disappearing.
The machine does not work on
the gravity-trigger system as
does the chewing gum machines
and others, but on the lock sys-
tenn. there being no trigger or
cog wheels about it to wear out.
1t works on a succession of locks
In a disk. 1t can be used in
street cars, trains and all other
places where change is needed.
The vending machine is COM
bined with the change-making
device. You can get your piece
of silver changed and then buy
from the machine any article it
delivers without moving out of
your tracks.
Mr.. Collins has secured patents
on the machines in this country.

He has been North several times
to contract for the making of
his machines and to sell the
county and State rights. They

feels proud. Lancaster News.

The Dry Year Of l845.

A few persons remember 1845
as the dry year in this country.
There was moisture enough in
the ground to bring corn up to a
stand. Early in May the rains
ceased, and there was nothing
but very light showers occasional
ly until fall. Upland corn was a
failure. Gardens amounted to
nothing; small streams, the size
of Chincapin, dried up. The
larger streams and rivers fur
nished about one-fourth the nor
NAL supply of water. Frequently
clouds would appear for a day or
two, but they would pass with
out rain. The tradition is that
the wind was blowing more than
half the time. Many families
pulled out and moved to Ten
nessee in the fall because corn
was abundant there. Farmers
in September began to look after
supply of corn for the next
year. They heard that it could
be bought for 81 cents a bushel
in Rutherford county. Perhaps
the first purchasers got it at
that price, but in consequence of
the rush of South Carolina
wagons the price soon rose to
SO cents and then mounted to
rs cents before the winter was
over. No weather records were
kept in those days, but it is
probable that the drought covered
only few Piedmont counties.
Crops were excellent in Western
North Carolina and in the lower
counties of the State. 1t was in
the fall of that year that the
famous prayer meeting for rain
was called. A large crowd came
from the county and met in the
Methodist church. They con-
tlnued in prayer for some time
and when the meeting was dis
missed, there were some clouds
on the northwestern horizon.
Many who attended the meeting
from the county got drenched
before they reached home. That
shower was the breaking up of
the drought. Others followed
and put the ground in fine con-
dition for sowing wheat. A
larger acreage than usual was
soon planted and the yield was
excellent. In the fall of 1S4G
fields and pastures were the
picture of desolation. There was
nothing green anywhere. Many
of the forest trees had died.
There are a half dozen or more
people living who remember the
apparently hopeless condition of
the people at that time. Spar

Important Meeting of D. A. R.
(Contributcd.) \

Kanawha Chapter, d. A. R.
of Fort Mill, held the last meet
ing of the year with Mrs. w. B.
Ardrey.
Officers for the new year were
elected as follows: Miss Susie
White, regent; Miss Helen Ar
drey, secretary and treasurer:
Mrs. S. l.. Meacham, vice-regent;
Mrs. w. B. Ardrey. historian.
The year book committe was ap-
pointed, consisting of Mrs. E. Nj.
Belk, chairman; Misses Bessie
Wlthers and Helen Ardrey and
Mrs. S. l.. Meacham.
The secretary and treasurer
stated that the treasury contained
500 which sum was to be used to
buy the marker for the old
cemetery. 1t was again decided
to offer the five dollar gold piece
to- the student in the graded
school making the highest aver
age In American history during
the coming season. This prize
has proved great incentive to
the children in the study of his
tory but it seems hardly fair to
the other branches and to a great
many of the scholars who excel
In them-mathematics, English
and spelling, for instance. What
more important branches are
there than these? In the near
by school of Winnsboro there is
a medal given to the best speller
in school. Several of those max
ing the highest averages engage
in a spelling contest at the end
OF school. This proves one of
the most interesting and enter
tanning features of the COM
mencement exercises. In some
schools there is also trustees
medal given to the scholar max
ing the highest average in all of
the sudies.
How much better it would be
If some of the good people who
are continually disparaping the
school and its work should give
the small sum of 5 or $40 towal d
medals or prizes for good work
In these other branches. their
attitude toward the school would
soon change to that of friendly
interest. One noble-hearted pa
troness of education in Rock Hill
gives 500 in prizes annually.
Can you compute the far-reaching
effect of such liberality.

Sunday Sport Must Stop.

Governor Blease has ordered
the lid to be put on tight at the
Isle of Palms. Stringent and
peremptory orders to forbid all
motorcycle racing or such like
sports on the beach Sundays and
to stop the sale of liquor and
beer were issued by the govern
or to Sheriff Martin and Chief
Constable Stothart. of Charles
ton. Violations of law must
stop and desecration of the Sab
bath Day must end, SAYS the
Chief Executive of South Caro-
lima.
In his letter to Sheriff Martin
the Governor calls attention to
the newspaper reports of Sunday
motorcycle races on the Isle of
Palms and instructs the sheriff
to arrest all taking part in such
sports on Sunday hereafter and
prosecute them to the limit of the
law.
In his letter to Chief Dispen--
sary Constable Stothart to stop
the sale of liquor on the Isle of
Palms. Governor Blease SAYS:
1t is thought aloud here that
John P. Grace's idea in closing
up everything so tight i'm Char
lesion on Sunday is to drive every
one to the Isle of Palms, and that
a bar room is TO be run open and
above board over there. 1t is
said also that Mr.. Grace is
boarding at the hotel in Charles
ton with the gentleman who owns
the Isle of Palms business.
The Isle of Palms is the play
ground of Charleston and ex-
curslons every Sunday take

THE YORK COUNTY FAIR
TO Be HELD AT WINTHROP

The fair committee of the
Rock Hill Cham Der of Commerce
is hard at work rounding up the
details for the York county fair
which will be held this fall in
connection with the Winthrop
College home institute. The
date of the fair which will con-
tinue for two days will be an
nounced as soon as the committee
ascertains on what dates the
fairs in surrounding cities will
be held. Within the next two
weeks work on the buildings will
be commenced and it is hoped
to have them completed during
this month.
AS has already been stated the
fair and institute will be held on
the rear campus of Winthrop
College and in the Arts and
Science building, the agricultural
exhibits to be placed in the lat
ter. The cattle sheds, hog pens,
dog kennels, etc., which will be
erected on the rear campus will
be put up in such manner that
they can be moved to the perma-
nent fair grounds next year. The
grandstand which was used for
the Pageant will remain UP until
after the fair and will be used
to seat those who attend this
magnificent agricultural exhi-
bition.
Every farmer in the county is
urged by the committee to begin
preparing for the fair. He can
now begin to select articles for
his exhibit. He can select bun
dies OF oats, alfalfa, etc., and a
little later on pick out stalks of
corn, mark them in some man.
ner and have everything ready
long before the fair opens. The
boys on the farm can begin to
practice up their horses and
mules for the races. or better
still they can teach their mounts
some fancy tricks and pull them
off before the thousands of ad-
mlrlng spectators. The girls
can look after their chickens
more closely. They can put up
several select cans of tomatoes
for entry in the canning depart
ment. They can also make
fancy aprons, embroidery, etc.
for exhibit, and the little boys
can sleek their rabbits and
guinea pigs, ETC., also their dogs.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE
BETTER THAN A CURE

The State board of health with
Laboratories in LeConte college of
the University of South Carolina,
is distributing immunity from GER
tain diseases by the wholesale.
This immunity may be had Just
for the asking. Are the people
willing to pay the price? That
is the question that Drs. Hayne
and Coward would ask the peo-
pie in every community in South
Carolina.
DR.. F. A. Coward, director of
the laboratories, said Thursday:
There is growing demand for
the typhoid fever vaccine. In
fact, the calls we have had for
this serum already this year
amount to the sum total of those
for the year 1912. There is the
same ratio of increase in the
number of microscopic examina-
tions that are being made. Last
year these totalled $3.50. The
number this year will doubtless
be more than 10000.
The most serious handicap.
however, with which the depart
ment has to deal is the lack of a
record of vital statistics. The
department simply can not tell
what it is accomplishing. When
there is no record whatever kept
of the births, and only partial
registration of the deaths, it is
impossible to tell of what extent
the death rate is being lowered.
Our report for last year gives the
number of deaths in the United
States as 25 per 100, ZOO popula-
ton. This would give South
Carolina with her /, 800, 600 in
habitants about 375 deaths an
nually from typhoid fever. This
is doubtless an underestimate in
regard to South Carolina, as the
figures are made up from the
registration areas of the United
States, where the conditions are
much better than they are in
South Carolina.
The typhoid vaccine, a serum
for meningitis, and that used in
treatment of rabies are made in
and distributed from the local
Laboratories. Since August, 1911.
10, 600 ampules of the typhoid
vaccine have been sent out and
1000 persons have been immu-
nized. One hundred and fifty
SIX persons, most of whom were
children, have taken the Pasteur
treatment since last December.
There are now 18 patients under
the care OF the officers of the
State board of health.
1t has been only within the
last few weeks that DR.. Hayne
has been successful in getting
the conditions in South Carolina
treated of in the United States
public health service bulletin.
This publication is issued week
ly and gives general survey of
the health conditions throughout
the country.
