IF MARS CALLED US UP.

Scientists have been busy lately
irving to catch wireless communica-
tions from Mars. II is rather tuiIle
proceeding. inasmuch as the chances
are against the existence Of any life
whatever on Mars and even If here
are intelligent beings there thu
chances may be hardly one in bli
lion that they bother themselves
about us and are able 10 send US in
telligIble messages.
If il il granted however, that there
are beings on the red planet able to
communicate with our green planet
and sufficiently interested to do so.
what do You suppose they would say
Everybody remembers the famous
message first sent over the telegraph
wire in Morse code; what hath
God wrought 1t was hitting ak
preston of the wonder Of that great
invention. But the first communities

between two races of beings tens G.
millions OF miles apart in distance,
and perhaps corresrondingly far apart
in development and outlook what
would it be? What would the Mar
tians have to say to US
Would it be a query as to what We
eat and wear, and how we obtain It,
and whereWith we shelter and warm
ourselves? Astronomers say that
Mars is an old planet, with little at.
mosphere, probably cold and unpro-
ductiye. The Martians, then, If they
exist may be IA small remnant OF a
once populOus race, struggling hard to /
fight off extinction from cold and hun /
ger. The cost of living may be more
serious with them than with us.
And if they are an old race. they F..
may be far more advanced than Wt
are, with a higher state OF clyillZa- F.
ton and enormously improved mental T
and spiritual powers. In that case.
they might tell us much worth kno"
ing about science. art and govern
ment, if our little, childish minds
could grasp it.
Or, since the universe is infinite in
variety as in extent, they may be a .
race of creatures as different from Us
in form, mind and ideals as, say, our
own birds are different from us in
form, mind and ideals, as, say, our
own birds are different from our
crabs, or our ants from our fishes.
All comes from the one Life no
doubt. but how different in manifesto
ton and powers Imagine Mar
tian race Of ants or birds or elephants
or bees, or something even more dill
ferent from all these then they are
from each other What would such
creatures have to say to us, and how
would hey say it? On what common
ground OF experience and Comprehen.
sion could We get together?

The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1920-02-12

The figures are based on the 1919
crop and show a total possible loss of
over s34,OOO,OOO to sss,oOo,OOO in the
twenty-four counties most likely to
be affected. There may be losses in
other counties. But even if the dam
age is only half of that estimated in
the table, there would be a loss of
seventeen to twenty million dollars.
Prof. Conradi's estimate of the pos
sible loss for Williamsburg county
is 40 per cent of the 1919 crop. The
cotton production Of this county in
1919, according to the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, was 27,000 bales, 40 per
cent. of which would be 10000 bales,
resulting in a probable crop of 1920
bales in 1920. With cotton at IS cents
per pound this would mean loss of
S1,890,000, and with cotton at 40
cents, a loss of $2,160,000.

LOSS FROM WEEvIL INJURY
South Carolina Farmers Will Lose
Millions According to- Forecast

Clemson College, Feb. 3.-An esti-
mate of the probable loss in 1920
from boil weevil injury in this state,
prepared for the Extension Service
by Prof. A. F. Conradi, of the South
Carolina Crop Pest Commission, in
dicates that the loss will run into
millions of dollars. The possible loss
runs from 10 per cent. in Greenwood
to 10 per cent. in Beaufort, the ex-
PLANTATION being made that weather
favorable to boil weevil activity,
namely, warm winter and wet June,
July, and August, would result in
maximum loss, while the opposite
kind of weather would result in less
looSs.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1920-02-12

But even if the damage is only half
of that estimated above, there would
be a loss to Williamsburg county Of
ss45,OO0 to s1,0S0,OOO. The farmers
of the county should ponder these fig
ures before planting cotton and should
adopt a safe farming program. "Bet-
ter be safe than sorry"

sTEARNs NEEDS TEACHERS

There are at present IL vacancies
in the teaching stats of the rural
schools of the county, according TO
a report from the office of the coun-
ty superintendent of schools. These
unfielled situations pay salaries OF
from 500 to $3.50 per month, and it
is expected that former teachers will
resume their occupation in view OF
the size of the pay. The shortage
in teachers has been general this
fall, and StearIs hslB been more for
tunate than many counties in having
the few vacancies reported. Several
districts failed to meet the advance
in salaries in time to fill the posi-
lions, and this is one reason OF the
failure to have a complete staff.
