KNSHlP TIES ARE STRONGEST
Bond of Brothers and Sisters Is
Closer Than That of
SWeethearts

Pauline Is an only child; for her
one gateway into romance is barred
and bolted. No childish memories Of
joys and sorrows shared in the earli-
est, most impressionable years will
forge, for her the strongest Of all
chains-that between children born Of
the same parents.
In Serbian folk lore the tie between
brother and sister is more often the
theme of romance than that between
sweethearts-in this tie of kinship lies
d mystic significance. George Eliot
recognized it in 1.-THE Mill on the
Floss" the great English classic of
-brotherly and sisterly love.
In "Wuthering Heights" Catherine
Earnshaw cries out passionately Of
Heathclitf, Hes more myself than l
am! Whatever our souls are made
of, his and mine are the same"
Such a bond as there was between
those two-strange, combative, but all
powerful-is seen many time between
brother and brother, sister and sister
DGllldDS iuDSI vi all DtlNG6I DJoltlSE
and sister-a bond which finds no ex-
preston in caresses or words of af-
fection-but is nevertheless strong
unto death, its origin sunk deep in ele-
mental truth.
Sweethearts may kiss and cling and
swear eternal fealty; marry then tire,
and seek divorce-but who shall ever
be divorced from that elemental tie Of
kinship? Am 1 my brothers keep
err" asked Cain, and throughout the
ages some deep instinct has answered
"yes."
Thus it is that to many an only
child Is a pathetic, if not a tragic
figure, barred from a thousand joys
and hopes and purifying sorrows, too.
Pauline may have hosts of friends
when she Is grown up; she may
marry and have children-but there
is one most precious comradeship in
life that she will never know.-London
Mail.

Globe Lightning.

Joseph H. Krauss, edito" Of Science
and Invention, went long way toward
reproducing that most pulling of all
big electrical phenomena, globe" or
"ball" lightning. This seems to be pro-
duced when a fork of lightning strikes
in such manner that 1t is not immedi-
ately conducted away. 1t then forms
an incandescent ball, which Kisses over
the ground with miraculous speed in
an irregular course. and is finally dis
sipated, sometimes with powerful ex-
plosion. 1t may last several seconds,
and in this brief time can do great
damage. 1t has been known, said Mr..
Krauss, to bore Its way through the
walls of building like bullet.

COUNTY LOAN
AWARDED FRIDAY


The National Bank of Leesvile and
The First National Bank of Batesburg
were awarded the contract for q loan
to the county of $4,000, their joint
bid 7.473 per cent. discount being
the best presented. Only one other
bid was put in-that of the Home
National Bank of Lexington of 7.5O
per cent. discount.
The bids were opened Friday last,
the 25th, by County Treasurer C. E.
Leaphart and Supervisor George G.
Steele and the loan awarded to the
banks above stated. The rate to be
paid is considered very good under
present conditions Of the money mar
ket.
Messrs. Leaphart and Steele were
gratifed that the loan was to be
handled by banks in the county. The
fact that they received two bids from
county banks is an evidence that not
withstanding the great stringency in
the money, market Lexington county's
financial institutions are in sound
condition and able to take care of the
county's needs.
There are great many claims
against the county which are past
due, and it will be good news to
many people that funds will soon be
available to settle these claims.
However. these funds will not be
ready by the first Monday. 1t is un-
derstood that the new board Of county
commissioners will likely be sworn
in next Monday, which is the first
Monday, and they will hardly be able
to pass upon all outstanding claims
on that day, even if funds should be
in hand with which to pay Oft. 1t
will not be long, however, until all
who have duly approved claims will
be able to receive their pay.

Baton here until today, though the
father died two weeks ago. The
brother advises that the father left
a fortune to the two men, by which
each of them will get approximately
$4,000.
The fortune is largely in stock in

AIKEN FARMERS
SHIPPING POTATOES

Aiken, March 23.-The first car ot
Aiken county sweet potatoes for the
Northern market was shipped from
Aiken last week from the Farmers
Storage and Fertilizer company's po-
tato warehouse. The car contained
400 crates, and goes to Burlington,
Iowa. It was marketed through the
sonth Carolina Sweet Potato assocla-
tion..
While this is the first car OF pota-
toes to go from Aiken county, 1t IS
the fifth from South Carolina so far.
The shipment was cooperative, IL
A;ken county farmers being interest
ed in the Farmers Storage and Fer
ti,izer CO. ompany's potato house; there
.>,., .ohont four more cars to be ship
ped later.
While the price the car brings IS
not stated, it may be said that the po-
tatoes sold at price. that beat cot
ton all to pieces.
The North and East are only just
NOW becoming acquainted with the
sweet potato or ''sugar spuds," as they
are labelled. But the brethren across
the Mason and Dixon line are last
coming to like them, and the potato
industry bids fair to gro" faplolS
wifi, q ready market for all that may
be raised.
The potatoes in the Farmers Stor-
age and Fertilizer Co.'S house nave
heen inspected by Clemson college
exnerts who have unhesitatingly told
Mr.. McCaslan, manager. that they are
the finest lot and the most splenolo
specimens yet seen in South Carolina.
It is understood that farmers mere
abouts are planning to plant many
more sweet potatoes hereafter than
ever before.-Special to The State.

POTATO WAREHOUSE
IS NOW ASSURED

At the meeting held in the court
house Thursday night last sufficient
stock was subscribed to insure the
erection Of a potato house in Lexing-
ton. The following temporary Off
GERS were elected: B. H. Barre, presi-
dent; George Corley, Jr., vice presi-
dent; J. d. Carroll, secretary and
treasurer. Plans are now being
worked out to perfect the organiza-
ton and secure the remainder Of the
stock subscriptions. AS soon as it is
deemed necessary a charter will be
applied for and all the legal formali-
ties complied for to start the corpora
ton off under the laws Of the State.
1t is proposed to erect at some suit
able paint, preferably where railroad
transportation will be convenient,
potato drying house having capacity
of 5000 bushels, which it is believed
will be ample to begin with, and
which can be expanded from time to
time in the event that the venture
proves a success.
Those responsible for the movement
ask The Dispatch-N News to state posi-
lively that for shipping purposes only
Porto Rico potatoes will be accepted,
as it has been demonstrated that this
brand proves moro acceptable in the
Northern markets. This is very i'm
portant point, which farmers who
contemplate planting with the expec-
tation Of selling through the ware
house here would do well to bear in
mind. Of course where farmer de-
sires to store his own potatoes and do
his own marketing any kind of pota-
toes will be accepted, but where the
potatoes are to be shipped by the To-
cal warehouse on it's responsibility
nothing but Porto Rico potatoes
which grade to a certain standard will
be taken. This is necessary in order
to build up a successful trade in the
Southern vegetable which is just be-
ginning to come into its own in the
North through the efforts Of the South
Carolina Development Board, which
has been at great pains to advertise
and push the potato in other markets.
Work on the warehouse will not be-
gin for a while yet, as it will not be
needed for the present, until the new
crop is ready to be harvested, but it
will be ready in ample time to provide
facilities for handling the crop as soon
as it is ready to gather.
