When the first missionaries visited
Marsovan, Turkey, the old Armenian
church members were Christians in lit
tie more than name. Their beliefs
were a mixture of superstitions with
a suggestion Of Christian origin.
They feared the evil eye, and wore
charms to break its power. They put
branches of a thorny plant over their
chimneys in the form of cross to
prevent witches from coming down
and strangling their little children.
They visited the graves Of saints and
offered prayers for relief from sick
ness, tying a rag on a bush nearby
with the hope Of returning home leav-
ing their disease tied to the holy spot.

Bee Keeping Coming to the
Front.

County Agent Carwile along with
E.. S. Provost, of Clemson College,
has been getting some important
work done in the bee industry for
the past two seasons. Since the price
of honey has been so promising and
sugar as high as it is now bee keep
ing has been very promising. The fol
lowing are demonstrators working
with bees in this county: Messrs E..
]. Minis, ]. L. Minis, A. F. Covar, S.
M. Mays, Boyd Zimmerman, and DR..
B. F. Jones and Mrs. Mamie N. Till
man of Edgefeld and Mr.. L. r.
Brunson of Cleora; Messrs. j. r.
Smith, M. M. Padgett, Monroe Swear
ingen of Trenton and Mr.. L. Mike
Herlong of Johnston, R. F. D.
Many people still insist that bees
cause damage to fruit, and some
even assert that bees damage crops
by sucking nectar from the flowers.
Careful Investigations prove that
these beliefs are not only not true
but that bees are a great help in pol
lination of flowers, thus making crop
production possible. Bees Go not
puncture fruit and suck the juices.
Observations of trained investiga-
tors prove that bees visit fruit and
suck juices only after the skin has
been broken.
Many bee-keepers are disappointed
at the failure of the entomoicgisrs
to meet requests for help. 1t is ply
sically impossible for the Extension
Service bee specialist to meet prompt
" all of the numerous requests, and
no schedule of his services can be
promised except to the demonstra-
tion bee-yards. However, anxious bee
kepeers can be assured that every
minute of his time is employed IN
getting about as rapidly as possible
to answer calls for help.
Good queens will probably be
scarce this season, and all bee-keep-
ers desiing queens should place or
ders promptly for July delivery.
Club orders will get queens at great
ly reduced rates.

Means Southern Trade Ex-

Nashville, Tenn, May 29.-It was
in Louisville and Nashville that the
Southeastern port boosters got their
real heartening encouragement.
These cities "whooped things" up in
truly enthusiastic style. Louisville
practically said that every pound OF
freight she had for export would go
through the South Atlantic ports.
In Nashville the reception was
even more enthusiastic. Editorially
the Nashville Tennessean said:
Nashville is the guest today of
125 live business men from South AT
lantic parts. They are returning from
two weeks tour of the large cities
of the Middle West, where they have
carried the message of the advan-
tages their cities have to offer as
ports for foreign trade.
"They have little reason to present
arguments. Their case states Itself
It must be obvious to anyone that
the closer route, the open gateway
for any freign trade from this sec
tion, is through these ports instead
of New York.
"This is especially the case for
shipments bound for South Ameri-
~ l.
can countries, Savannah, Ca, jack
sonville, Fla, Brunswick, Ga, Will
mington, N. c., and Charleston, S. Co.
furnish the natural outlet for foreign
trade from this part of the United
States.
Nashville welcomes the visitors.
The advantages to accrue from the
diversion of this trade through the
South Atlantic ports are mutual.
Nashville must handle much OF 1t IN
passage, while the port cities will re-
ceive the advantage of it's transmits
sion when it reaches them. Develop
ment of this idea will mean further
expansion of the South and its IN
dustries.''

THOUGHT HE WAS HIGH UP

the first they had ever had. 1t was
before the days Of steel mills and tow
ers, and the windmill was made of
wood. A couple Of mechanics were
about the place for several days build
ing the tower and putting up the mill,
and to a farm boy it was a bright
spot in an otherwise monotonous ex-
istence. During the day I thought of
little else, and dreamed of little else
at night. I slept alone In room in
which there was a sewing machine
with boxlike top.
At that time frequently walked in
my sleep, and one night 1 woke to
find myself at great height. 1t was
unpleasantly cold, for 1 had on hardly
any clothes, ami I knew that I was
up on the windmill. I felt about in
almost every direction for the tower
of the mill, to avoid falling off, but
I was unable to locate it, and had to
SIT very still with nothing to hold on
to.
I sat there until the cold walked me
entirely, when I found myself sitting
on top of the sewing machine. In the
morning I told no one of my adventure
for fear of being laughed at.
