Measures 40 feet in length.
Weighs 10 tons, or nearly thirty thousand pounds.
Its liver alone weighed LOO pounds, or more than ten full.
grown men put together.
IT is twenty-thre feet around the body, and its tail measures
ten feet from tip to tip
1t had swallowed an octopus weighing four hundred pounds.
A blackfsh weighing fifteen hundred pounds ard five hundred pounds
OF coral also found in its stomach.
1t could have swallowed twenty Jonahs without suffering the
slightest pangs of indigestion. pr
1t smashed a boat into thousands of pieces and crushed the
rudder and propeller of a thirty-one ton yacht with a single swish
of its mighty tail.
Five harpoon thrusts and one hundred and fifty largo canbre
rtde bullets only served TO increase its fury, and 1t took five days to
finally kill it.
The battle lasted thirty-nine hours-two days and a night-in
open water, with the monster dragging a small boat at express train
speed for hundreds of miles.
Scientific authorities believe that the creature was an inhabitant
of depths more than fifteen hundred feet below the surface, and that
IL was blown up by some subtcrTanean or volcanic uphcayal, which

It's hide is three inches thick and enabled it to withstand the
most enormous water pressure, n pressure almost inconceiyable TO
man. Its eyes, which are very small, have no lids and were never
closed indicating that it lived at a depth where eyes were of no avail.
The creature is not classified in natural history, the genus n se-
cios is unknown, and 1t is not only the most remarkable geological
specimen, but the largest specimen of the fish tribe known in history.
Although the largest fish ever captured, scientists claim Il was
only a baby of its tribe, and If it had lived to attain full growth 1t
would have been two and one-half times as large. =
Every undertaking establishment on the Florida East ocast from
Jacksonville TO Key West gave up their enfer supply of formaldehyde
TO preserve the monster, and over nineteen barrels were used.

TERRIBLE NAVIGATING SHARK is SHOWN

Second only in interest to the big

thousands Of visitors to Captain
Thompson's yacht at the river front,
City Wharf, is the Captains marvel
Gus marine exhibit, which is consld-
cred by many who have e 1t to be
one of the finest and most complS.e
private collections in America.
Among the many rare specimens is
the octopus, one of the most repulsive
creatures imaginable, a d~evil-nsh,
hammerhead shark, angel fish, a
giant sail fish. with a sail two and
one-half feet wide, a giant baracoutta
over seven feet long and that weighs
140 pounds, with a mouth and teeth
large enough to bite a mans arm off,
to say nothing of hundreds of other
marvels of the great deep, all of
which r shown in their natural
form and colors.
Another singular specimen of the
collection is the baby hammerhead
shark with the singularly elongated
head from which which II derives Its
name. The eyes are situated on the
extreme outer edge of the hammer
so that it can cover an unusually wide
range of vision. The h~ammerheads
grow to a length of fifteen feet and
bring forth their young alive.
The angel fish is a CURIOUS creature,
whose place in nature is midway be-
tween the shark and the ray. Their
large pectoral fms projecting far out
on each side, have a fancied resem-
blance to wings, which is their only
angelic feature.

WHAT EDGEFIELD WANTS
TO KNOW
The Answer Is Found in the
Statement of an Edgefeld
Resident.

From week to week, from year to
year, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read
with great interest, and many of us
with great profit. But what we want
to know is, do they stand the great
est test of all-the test of time?
There is conclusive evidence on this
point from-an Edgefeld man:
w. D. Dorm, Cedar Row, says: 81
can endorse Doan's Kidney Pills for
one box did me a great deal of good
when I was bothered with my kid
neys and bladder. The trouble has
never returned so 1 can confirm all ]
have previously said in favor of
Doan's."
Statement given April IL, 1919
On February 7, 1918, Mr.. Dorm
said: 81 have every reason to con-
tinue recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me of a bad case Of
kidney trouble some years ago."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Dorm had. Foster-Milburn

Sore Head Among Chickens.

During the past few weeks an epi-
demic of sore head has broken out
among the Edgefeld poultry plants.
Clemson College says that sore head
is usually caused by spores of a
common mold, (aspergillus fumiga-
tus) that develops on old little, corn,
food etc. For treatment, give water
turned pink by potassium permanga-
nate tablets. Once a week during the
epidemic, physic the fowls with one
half cupful of epson salts. Spray
the houses well with Bordeaux mix
ture or lime-sulphur solution. Clean
up the litter and anything that may
produce mold. Dip the head of the
diseased fowls in solution made by
adding one tea spoonful of creolin
to one pint of water twice daily. Get
bulletin No. ,16, ..PoultEy Culture in
South Carolina" from your county
or home demonstration agent. This
will tell more fully how to treat this
and other poultry diseases.

Campaign for Fencing and
Livestock in Edgefeld County.

During the month of October,
County Agricultural Agent A. B.
Carwile will conduct countrywide
campaign for more fencing and bet
ter livestock throughout the county.
This campaign will be completed by
the first of November in order that
the farmers may get at putting up
this material before dead winter sets
in. Below are given a few sugges-
tions why this campaign will be put
before the farmers:
1. To fight the boil weevil our
county must raise more livestock,
hence the reason for bringing in
good stock and for building more
pastures and grazing plots.
2. Cooperative buying in car load
lots will give a better quality of wire
at lower price and with more rea-
sonable promptness than otherwise
8. A spirit of community pride
will be developed in the communities
that stock with pure breds and build
the best pastures.
4. Development of the "do things
together" spirit will be brought
about by working comparatively in
the communities. Only such a spirit
will lead to prosperity and good
neighborhood.
This campaign has been given
great deal of publicity and the news
papers are still aiding to their best
ability to aid the county agent te
put this propersition before the farm
ers. They now know that the agricul
tural man is at work and are request
ed to see him at the first opportunity
in order to get these orders placed
before the fall rush.

Order Wire Fence and Posts
at Once.

County Agent A B. Carwile says
he is now in position to take orders
for wire fence and posts. The farm
ers of the county are urged to get in
touch with him at once. Whether you
buy through him or not it will pay
vou to look over the prices ne has
collected, since he has them from
the large fence houses of the nation.
A few days ago he remarked that ne
did not care where the farmer got
his fencing, but he wanted everyone
to be sure that he is getting the best
quality of wire at reasonable
price. See Mr.. Carwile at once about
this matter.

A Path to Inter-Racial Peace.

Austin, Tex.-The st. Johns Mis-
sionary Baptist Association, covering
eleven Texas counties, has issued
statement warning their people
against preachers Of disorder and
race riot" They especially protest
against certain type of Negro news
papers published at the North, but
with wide circulation in the South.
These papers, the Association as
serts, magnify the wrongs and min
imize the good" in inter-racial reia-
tions. They who 'brandish before
the eye incendiary articles at this
time are enemies rather than friends
of the race" The Association will ap-
proach other colorcd organizations
on this basis and try to launch ma
tion-wide campaign against propa-
gandists who would promote race
antagonisms and in favor of better
understanding between the races.
Such movement must win the ap-
proval of all thinking whites: but
it will effect little without white
backing and cooperation. If white
people and newspapers will in like
manner refuse to magnify the
wrongs and minimize the good" in
Negro life, and will frown down the
kind of talk which makes for mutual
distrust and bitterness, both sides
of the double problem may be met.
Such course will give the sane Ne
gro leader the backing they ur-
gently need, and will insure the full
fiAment of the Associations pyoph-
ecy that the races in the South eff
left to themselves, will, in time, ad-
just all differences to the good Of all
concerned"
