Rain Records.

Records of winters in the past
bring to light some accounts of ex-
cessive rains, for in 1909 guage
kept at Monumental, in California,
registered 1884 inches. Only at
Glenora, Ore, with a record of 1929
for a single year, has this rainfall
record been exceeded in records for
the United States. The heaviest
rainfall for a single month ever re-
corded in the United States was at
Helen Mine, CAL, in January, 1909,
when 71.54 inches fell. Campo has
the record for the heaviest down.
pour ever recorded in California for
a single day. This was eleven and
a half inches on August II, 1891,
and all of this fell within eighty min
utes. This is far below the Amerl-
can record, however, which is held
by Alexandria, La, with record OF
PA inches in a single day.

CRAZED BY WIFE'S DEATH.
Georgia Merchant Ends His Life
With Pistol.

Macon, Ca, May 27.-A. J. Chap
man, 40 years old, who has operated
grocery in this city for the past
five years, was so grieved over the
discovery of his wife's dead body in
their home to-day that he fired a
bullet into his brain and died al
most. instantly.
The coroner found that Mrs. Chap
mans death was from \ natural
causes. She had become i'll and her
son, Clarence, fastened out for a.
doctor. 3: While the son was gone
Chapman and his brother-in-law, F.
R. Christian, entered the home and
discovered the body.
Christian told the coroner that
Chapman acted like a mad man when
he discovered that his wife was
dead, and knocked him over onto the
floor in his haste to rush across the
room. When Christian was rising
from the floor he saw Chapman
standing with a pistol pointed at his
temple and before he could reach
Chapman the latter had shot him
self.
When Chapman's son entered the
room a minute later with a doctor
both parents were dead.

from Venus, nor could we answer
Mars, it being just as impossible for
Venus to signal the earth as for the
earth to signal Mars; any light either
one could produce would be over
powered by sunlight. Consequently,
if we were to attempt to send sig
mails to Venus we should never know
whether they had been received or
not.
Figures show that to cover the
1000 square miles embraced in this
spot would use 9O0,OOO,00O planes.
A plant of 24,OOo,OOO horse power
would be required to handle the
planes. An army of about 100000
men would be needed to operate and
attend to it. The cost Of construc-
ton would be about $40, 100000,
while the wages of the operatives and
other expenses would be about S8,-
100000 a day.
We cannot signal Mars at all. We
can signal Venus, but 'is the game
worth the candle?"-New York Sun.

WINKING AT VENUS.
Possible, But Expensive, to Signal
Lady Friend of Mars.

Two noted astronomers have got
into a friendly discussion as to
whether Mars is inhabited or not, and
whether the great necessary expense
in an effort to communicate with
Mars by signals would be justified.
Another eminent astronomer says,
in substance, that Mars and Venus
are surely inhabited by living beings
of some kind, but that the atmos-
pheric conditions of Venus being SIM
liar to those of the earth, the proba-
bility of it's being inhabited are great
er than those of Mars.
Now, with all this glib talk of sig
mailing to Mars, no one yet has got
down to 'brass tacks' with a plan of
how to do it, or it's cost, a most i'm
portant item. By any plain attempt
ed, however, it's cost would make that
of the Panama Canal look like the
traditional thirty cents
Owing to the fact that the orbit of
the earth is inside that Of Mars any
signaling that may be attempted to
that planet must necessarily be done
by electric or other powerful lights,
and at the time also that Mars in it's
passage around it's orbit would be
nearest the earth, or about 4O,OOO,-
900 miles distant. Unfortunately for
purposes of signaling, at this time the
earth is between Mars and the sun
and would be invisible to the Mar
tians; it would at the same time be
broad daylight in Mars, and the in
habitants of that planet must look
in the general direction of the sun
to see the earth, which, being dark
on that side, gives no light and can
not be. seen. The conditions are
such that it is quite improbable that
the most powerful light that could be
pIOuuCGu VI GN0u lludSlHSu Ou IllC
earth could compete with sunlight
and be noticed on Mars, even through
the powerful telescopes they are sup
posed to possess. 1t would. therefore,
be impossible for the earth to signal
to Mars by any means we now have.
In the case of Venus, however,
the conditions are somewhat diff
ferent, her orbit being considerably
smaller than that of the earth. In
travelling around her orbit and at the
same time of her inferior conjunc-
tion with the sun Venus approaches
to within about 3O,OO0,00O miles of
the earth, but is invisible to us, as
she is then between the earth and the
sun. We could signal Venus at such
times by means of large white spot,
and Mars could signal us in the same
way, but we could not get any answer

GROUP 5 HELD CONVENTION.
Seventy-ive Delegates Attend From
Five Counties.

Nelson Frierson, professor of law in
the University of South Carolina
This was followed by discussion of
"The Federal Reserve Act" by Hon.
R. Goodwin Rhett, president of the
Peoples National Bank, of Charles
ton. These addresses were both en-
tertaining and instructive, and were
listened to attentively by all who
were present, and votes of thanks
were extended the speakers.
Several short addresses were made
by members of the association, after
which reports of officers and COM
mittees were made. An election for
officers was then entered into, and
the following were unanimously
elected:
H. D. Calhoun, of Barnwell, chair
man; J. A. Banks, of st. Matthews,
vice-chairman; w. L. Glover, of Or
angeburg, secretary and treasurer,

berg county; P NJ. Buckingham,

ton county: and w. B. Thompson,

The meeting then adjourned, and
the guests and visitors we're taken in
automobiles to the banks of the Ed
isto, where delightful fish fry and
stew, together with other good things,
were served to the bankers and their
friends. This was an unusual, but
most delightful, outing for many of
those who have never attended one

PARENT-TEACHERS
DONATE DEBATING
TROPHY TO C. II. H. S.

4 Mrs. Apple, president of the high
school section of the PARENT Teachers
I Association, presented beautiful sill
yer loving cup to the student body,
which is to be used as debating
/ trophy. Harold Thompson, president
of the student body, received the cup.
In her presentation speech Mrs.
Apple said:
Il wish to bring to you greetings
from the Parent Teachers Associa-
tion. We have watched your work
with interest and are proud of what
you are doing. We want you to
know that we are interested in you
and your work and we want to be
more closely connected with it. Hence
am here this morning to bring
greetings from the Parent Teachers
Association, and a gift"
"You are not learning dead Ian
guages so much as you are learn
ing things that will be of more use
to you after you have graduated from
high school. Agriculture is one OF
the very useful things you are learn
ing For a while to come most of
the people of this valley will be
farmers. Probably most of you will
follow the soil. Hence it is neces-
sary for you to know the science of
farming, and that is why agricul-
ture is one of the courses in the high
school,
Domestic science is another art
taught. This is for the benefit of
the girls They learn to make the
kitchen work easy. They learn to
make appetizing dishes and to cook
scientifically.
THE commercial department and
manual training are very important.
Debating is a very important train
ing that you should have, and are
to have. 1t teaches you to speak
in public and not lose your head.
1t teaches you to think when before
a large audience.
Il now present this cup to you as
a debating trophy to start little
rivalry between the classes"
In receiving the cup, Harold
Thompson said:
81 am sure that l am expressing
the sentiment of the whole school
when l say that we appreciate this
beautiful gift beyond measure. We
need debating in the school, and need
it badly. And there is no reason
why, with this incentive, we should
not make this hall ring with oratory
that would make even Webster sit
up and take notice So, jim behalf
of the Student Body, | wish to thank
the Parent Teachers Association, es
pecially Mrs. Apple and those active
in securing the cup for the beautiful
present"
Professor Kerr stated that the
classes had chosen their debating
teams and the themes to be debated
on.
