JACK FROST As GOOD FRIEND
His Beneficial Effect Upon the Soil In
calculabIe, and He Performs
Other Services,

Let those who will groWf when
iciCies hang IN the wall. TO millions
Jack Frost comes as Il friend, Gnd not
always in disguise, either.
His influence on soil is wonderful,
says London Tit-Bits. Besides reduc-
ing it to much finer state OF tillage
than can be produced by any imple-
meDts known to man, it improves its
fertility and adds to its quantity.
The highest counts Of bacteria in
soil-and there may be l0c,OO0.0O0 IN
q grain-have been obtained in hard
winters, and it is during such seasons
that the disintegration OF roc: which
produces fresh particles Of soil goes
On most rapidly.
AS water passes from the liquid to
the solid state its expansive power is
about $50 tons to square foot, which
is equal to the weight of column OF
rock about one-third Of mile in
height. Then comes the thaw, and as
the water contracts away crumbles the
surface 0f the rock, to go to make
the soil from which we draw our sus-
teEancc.
Out in the Cotswolds, when winter
Is coming on. they turn blocks OF stone
grain upwards. so that the rain snail
soak into the layers. A thaw succeeds
a frost, and then the blocks are tapped
with e hammer, whereupon they tall
into flakes, ready, after little TRIM
ming for roofing houses.
SO, too, you may see the s'aters
working at Collyweston, near Stam-
ford. When there is a likelihood or
frost, the men dash water on the edges
of the masses of slate which nave oeeh
brought up from the pits or quarrles'
If there are two frosts in rapid sue
cession, with a quick thaw between
all is well, as the slate splits into lay
ers. But spell Of mild weather
means that the material becomes USE
less for anything except conversion
into rubble.

EARLY fAET!!i:Cn OF COUNTING
system in Use Up to Some Six Cen
turies Ago Was Primitive
to Degree.

Multiplication, addition. subtraction
ard diy.iSinn-crm!non GRADES OF
schools .oday-wcrr problems that
stumprd the great majority Of people
up until six centuries ago. Then
when numbers ran into three figures
or more the good peasants were
stl,mped. Multiplication was done on
the tingers-that is, what was done.
When the sums got TO be large: than
five times five, the corner saloon was
resortcd to. Here the counter used
a large checker board. Checker
boards grew to be the sign Of the
saloon.
When counting by hand, the counter
let the open hand represent the num-
her five; the hand with one finger
closed. six; With two fingers closed,
seven: with three fingers closed. eight,
and four fingers closed, nine. To mHi-
tiply, he used one hand to represent
the multiplier, and the other the sum
to be multiplied.
The system Of counting cn checker
boards was something similar to the
system Of counting on Chinese
abacus or counting board.

Circuitinq the Earth.

A person making a circuit OF the
earth will lose one day by going west
ward, and gain a day by going east
ward. In going eastward the sun is
met before a complete rotation of the
earth has been made. Thus the
period from noon until the sun IS
again met in the meridian is shorter
than from noon to noon in one
locality. Going westward requires
little more. than twenty-four hours for
the sun ito catch up" so that from
noon to noon by sun observation
covers a period of more than twenty
four hours. In order 20 keep dates
right. a dav is dropped out of reckon
ing hy vessels sailing eastward when
crossing the one hundred and eight
ie;h meridian--that is, they live the
same day twice; and day is added
when they cross the same meridian
going westward-for instance. arrlv'
ing at The one hundred and elghtletf
meridian, Saturday Immediately De

Ancient Egyptian Grandeur.

OF all conquestS of Alexander the
Great, Egypt enjoyed the earliest and
most lasting prosperity. AS soon rs
Ptolemy, the son Of Lagus, had re
gained possession Of this country it
resisted the attempts of others by the
advantages of its natural s!t&ahon.
Ptolemy had a moderation in his dis
position which restrained him from
meddling with affairs in which lie was
obliged to venture too much. He soon
acquired the reputation of equity ana
sentleness by which he gained the IA
vor of the people and the confidence
Of other kings. About 2S4 3. {. EgEpt
became the chief seat of the sciences
of Greece during the reign OF Pto' e'Hy
Phjladelphus. The grandeur diSp!ayed
bv this prince in architecture became
proverbial. He and his sons were pat
terms of wise and virtUouS moharclS.
Eut the later PtolenlieS did not con
form themselves to such models.

z. H. AULL, EDITOR.
Friday, July %, 1921.

1t seems to US that the Highway
commission has made a mistake in To-
eating the Belfast or Longshore road
around by the old route instead of
making it come into town by Helena,
following the railroad from Mr.. J. w,
Henderson's to Helena. That route
could have been built much cheaper
than the old route and is nearer to
town. The present road, relieved Of
the heavy travel, could have been
kept up for the convenience of the
people who live along the way to Mr..
Henderson's with very little expense,
without relocating, and it would have
served the people just as we'll as the
new road will serve them. But that is
a matter for commission, and yet we
can not help saying this much.

BIRDS NESTS IN ODD PLACES
Remarkable Boidness Shown by Many
Species When They Are Engaged
in Rearing Family.

Every year some fresh discovery is
made by naturalists respecting the
curious habits Of birds. The boldness
shown by even shy birds when dolnes-
tic duties are concerned Is surprising.
Robins are especially noted for their
boldness, and a pair have been known
TO build their nest and rear their
family on a. beam in school. entering
bv the window which was left open.
Swallows seldom build in odd places
bur pair have been known to build
their nest against a pane of wlnd""
glass. A swallows nest in funnel
is an exceptionally queer place foi
a bird of this species to choose.
Wrens are very ingenious, and their
shaped nests. which are so
beautifully woven, are often found ID
old kettles and tins, and even In the
pockets OF old coats which have been
left hanging about. A hedge sparrow
nest in Kettle was found in bunch
of nettles close to public footpath,
where school children passed every
day, but the faithful bird, with no
thought Of danger, reared a family
quite unmolested.

ferSon Lare, which occurred on last
Saturday at his home in Ridglcy,
Maryland. The greater part Of Mr..
Lanes life was spent in his native
county Of NeWberry, where he was
successful farmer. He took pride in
his work and it was his pleasure to
bring the first bale CT cotton as the
season rolled around. He is survives
by his widow and two sons, }. J.

Drowned Flies Come to Life.

Flies have been drowned In wine and
kept in wine for days. Yet when res
cued and dried in the sun they have
GENE to life again and flown away.

on the face of it sounding like a fairy
tale. English workmen were cutting
up a block Of Bath stone at Exeter. In
the center of the stone Was n cavity
In this cavity were couple Of dozen
bees. To the amazement Of the men
these bees showed signs of life and
gradually revived, and within a few
hours several were able to fly.

Picnic at Saluda

/ have been wanting for some time
to have an opportunity to talk to the
people of the Saluda, O'Neall and

ing centralized high school. Some
time ago Mr.. T. NJ. Mills said that
there was usually picnic in the sum-

there was base ball and other amuSe-
ments 10 attract the folk, and that
he would arrange to have the educa-

of ball and dinner and so on, and he
did, and on Wednesday was the day.
I invited Mr.. Joseph H. Shealy from
the state department of education to
come over and explain the modus
operandi of establishing such a school,
and he very kindly came.
Nv car being out of commission l
got James Aull to take me to Pros

wrote the constitution, were to meet
that instrument coming down the
road now he would not recognize his
handiwork, so much has it been
amended. Many of the powers now
granted in the constitution were nev-
er dreamed of being put in there by
the trainers of that instrument. Mr..
Abe Vigodski, Esq, no doubt is a
student of history as we'll as of con-
stitutional law, and he will admit
that history tells US that all the great
centralized governments have crum-
bled and fallen of their own strength,
as it were, and perished from the face
of the earth. Where is the great CEN
tralized and powerful Roman govern
ment of the past. Where is imperial
istic Germany. Look at Russia.
But Mr.. Watson seeks to create a
pathos. Tries to throw the glamour
of sentiment" around his views. And
according to Mr.. Abe Vigodski, Esq,
"pathos is unfavorable to truth and
ought to be disregarded." Too bad,
but Mr.. Vigodsky is but a symptom of
the tendency of the times. Pity It's,
It's true. Pity It's that there is not
more sentiment in this country, and,
if YOU please, more pathos, and to
our way of thinking and the school
in which we were trained, sentiment
or pathos if you please is not only not
unfavorable to truth, but without it
YOU lose all of the higher and nicer
things in human existence that really
make life worth while. Sorry to see
this young discip'o of Blackstone TAX
ing any such materialistic views.
But, Mr.. Abe Vigodski, Esq, would
bury US and Tom Watson and the
Daily Mail twenty rods beneath the
sea. so that we could never be resur-,
rected again. Now, that is entirely
too bad. Well, Mr.. Abe Vigodski,
Esq, we have been here long time,
and we have been writing about the
split log drag for long time, and
we are little afraid that you Will
have hard task to bury us so deep
that we may never rise again. Ard
the split log drag, or some other kind
of drag, should be used even on the
federal aided roads in this county, If
they are to be kept from being mud
holes. And The Herald and News
will continue to publish those fine ed
itorials on the split log drag, and in
all seasons.
And we can not help deplore the
tendency of the times toward great
government at Washing
ton, and we shall deplore the time
when our schools shall become feder-
allied, and the fact that they have
not been supervised from Washington
does not account for the illiteracy
that exists.
Now, Mr.. Vigodskii, we have ex-
tended our remarks much further
than we intended and will not argue
with you any of the questions that
you raise, but this is simply to say
that if Mr.. Tom Watson or any one
else should say anything that we en-
dorse we will say so, regardless of
whether we agree with him on any
other matter. And we shall try to
do so without abuse of any other po-
sitions he may take on other subjects,
and endeavor to remember at all
times that the true old Southern gen
tleman never forgot to be gentle,
man in writing or speaking, and that
abusive adjectives were not, argu-
ments.
