The Early Closing of the Stores.

VIII the merchants again begin the
early closing of their stores for the
summer months? 1t is hoped that all
the Newberry merchants will agree
to do this, thus giving rest and time
for some recreation Tor those in their
employ.
This has been done for t~o years
and has proved to be quite satisfactory.
Should the stores begin closing early.
and it is believed that they will, the
Civic association urges the coopera-
ton OF every woman in town with
regard to doing their shopping during
the morning hours, or early in the af-
ternoon so as to help the good cause
along and not to inter ere with early
closing.

THOROUGHBRED CATTLE
FOR THE FARMERS

The Commercial bank displayed it's
herd O: COWS. that was shipped in last
week, on the public square on Satur-
day. There are eleven fine heifers
and the big Red Poll bull and the
heifers are fine specimen of the
thoroughbred COW and the only kind
that the farmer of this section should
use. 1t combines the quality Of beef
with that of the mixer.
Several of them have been taken
but there are some left. The CONNER
cial bank has gone to the trouble to
get these hei.ers and is offering them
to the farmers of the county at actual
cost in an honest and praiseworthy
effort to help and encourage the farm
ers Of this county to improve their
stock and to engage in the cattle bus
mess.
If the efforts of the bank meet with
the approval and encouragement it
should President Kinard says he has
made arrangements to secure some
more of these heifers at cost for any
farmer who may desire to improve his
stock and his condition generally.

county would be in the race for the

mere is already one candidate from
Greenwood for, the position, Mr. Geo.
T. Magill, and one from Laurens, Mr..
Homer S. Blackwell, and it is rumor
ed that IlIr. Howard Moore Of Able
vile would be in the running and that
a Mr.. McCord OF Greenwood would
also enter. That would give each coun-
ty representative and NeWberry and
Greenwood two each to hold up the
banner.
Then We heard it rumored that the
Hon. Arthur Kibler would enter the
r&cs Lor senator from this county and
Hon. Neal W. Workman has already
said that he was considering the ques-
ton making the race and would
J. cry probably be in. Then We had
heard that the Hon. H. H Evans might
also seek the senatorial toga.

are talking of rumors now, and harm

a rumor so long as it is pleasant can
be repeated without detriment to any
one. And of course it is pleasant and
compliment to any citizen to be con-

AUDUBON SOCIETY AT
BOUNDRY STREET SCHOOL

The public would be surprised to
see the great and growing interest in
The work of the Audubon society at
the Boundary Street school. When
Miss Mabry, principal of the school
started the work among the children
last year, there was manifested no
ticeable indifference to the idea Of
studying birds and an aversion to the
suggestion that birds ought to be cared
for and protected rather than shot at
and killed.
But there has been wrought COM
plete reversion O. opinion. One has
only to be present now at an Audu-
bon exercise and visit the exhibit room
where several Scrta { different aiEGS
Of birds nests, cocoons, and other
specimens from nature, compositions
on birds, illustrations, etc, have been
collected and to see the many bird
houses built by the children themselves
is to appreciate their present remark
able enthusiasm for the subject OF
bird study and bird preservation.
Each grade in turn from the third to
the seventh has the pleasure Of rem

ings. All the grades have prepared
valuable and interesting exercises
consisting of bird lore, poems and
stories about birds, the habits Of differ

and the history of certain species OF
birds. some OF which have been COM
pletely exterminated on account OF
the recklessness and thoughtlessness

School Gardens.

Each grade at Spears Street school
has a garden plot on the school
grounds which is being cultivated by
the children, directed by the teachers.
Mr.. L. w. Floyd has recently shown
his interest in this work by giving
them sack of commercial fertilizer.
There are forty-three garden plots
being cultivated by the pupils of the
Mollohon Mill school. Any one would
be inspired to see the interest Of these
children and teachers in their work.

'DUTCH WEATHER. PROPHET"
MAKES SOME FORECASTS
April viii Bring Cold spell, says the
Prophet But Easter will
BE Warm.


BE Warm.
April Will be wet, thereby tracking
true after tradition. just as March
mas done by clustering. Such at least
is the opinion of William P Houseal
of Columbia, known somewhat more
than locally as the Dutch weather
prophet"
Mr.. Houseal said yesterday:
Seasons of abundant precipitation
VIII prevail throughout the spring and
summer The intervals governing
.hese periods arc from y to "A days
apart. 1t has usually been believed
that these changes were governed al
together by the lunar periods of seven
days or multiples Of this number up
to 2S The pulsations of the sun, IN
connection with the propelling power
Of the planets in their varying po
s:tions with the earth and the sun, are
no doubt the cause o: the varying pc
riods Of precipitation, heat and cod
Bad for Fibre Crops.
"On this basis the indications lead to
the forecast that the spring and sum-
mer of 1916 will not lack for sufficient
moisture to produce herbaceous crops,
that is, it will be vegetable year.
similar to 1919. Field crops are in
cluded in this forecast
"A prediction for a big cotton crop
is left out of the question; it will not
be good year for fibre crops. An
economic problem enters largely this
year in the production of a large cot
ten crop. Being careful student of
meteorological and economic conditins
must come to the conclusion that they
produce normally, the same results. In
forecast last year it was predicted
that the cotton crop for 1915-16 would
show a decrease of one-fourth as COM
pared to the previous year 1t was
plain case of too much moisture for
the fbrous cotton plant. the most SEN
sitive plant physically that grows on
the earth. The cotton crop for the
present year, governed by practically
the same neurological conditions will
be the same size approximately as last
year.
while precipitation will be abun-
dant, it is not apprehended that fresh
cts of a serious character will prevail
this year iaQA
"The winter has not entirely gone,
although the trees of Columbia are
beginning to don their dress Of re-
freshing green. The temperature
around April 14-17 will be a reminder
of similar days in March when in some
sections of the country the weather
was the coolest since 1871. Forty-two
years ago. April 19, recorded temper
atures in South Carolina as low as
March Is, 1916, and killed the
fruit and vegetables entirely. Similar
meteorological periods are recurring
at this time, the intervals being the
same for the years as for the days--the
numbers 21 to "a.
"Tbis period of lower temperature
will be followed at Easter by much
warmer weather; indeed, the Dutch
weather prophet makes the forecast
for ideal weather at that season, con-
trary to the almost universal opinion
that there is always a cold spell at
Easter 1t is not true that cold wealth
r always prevails at Easter. Inc
records will prove that the weather at
