IS BAD AS EGYPT OF OLD.
MOSQUITO Plague Descends Upon
Providence, Il. l., Also.

Thousands of Providence people
are being exposed to serious discom-
fort By the plague of mosquitoes, de-
clNes the Providence Journal, that
has descended upon the city. The
authorities blame neighbcr communi-
ties for the presence of the pests, and
unquestionably the accusations, in
the main, are just. But are they do
ing everything possible to rid Provi-
dence of the insects breeding places?
Undeniably the situation as to
ponds, catch basins, stagnant pools
and other spots in which mosquitoes
deposit their eggs for Matching must
be watched closely inside the city as
we'll as outside. Everybody can help
in this fight to the finish. Land own
ers can drain pools on their property,
or ask the city's aid in doing it..
Householders can keep the caves OF
their dwellings free so that water
will not collect'in them. They should
see, too, that tin cans and other re-
ceptacles are not allowed to stand
about in which the pests may
lay eggs. They should also
take pains to report places in their
neighborhood which they have good
reason to suspect as being mosquito
incubators.
Moreover, those persons, particu-
larly some medical authorities, who
have been disposed to minimize the
nuisance, might also withhold COM
ment and lend hand. The city is
entitled to such protection from the
pest as modern science and unfag-
ging industry can insure.

Rattlesnake in Mail Box.

What local postofice authorities de-
scribe as the most dastardly act ever
brought to their attention was made
known here Friday when it was an
nounced that Jos. T. Corkle, rural
mail carrier, had discovered rattle
snake coiled in a mail box on his
route near Augusta.
The lid of the mail box was fasten-
ed down securely and red flag was
up, indicating there was mail in the
box Just as the carrier was about
to place his hand in the box, the
snake moved his head and was dis
covered and killed.
The rattler was more than two feet
long and had half dozen rattles.
Postoffice inspectors are investigat-
ing the affair, but no arrests have
been made. McCorkle states that he is
not aware of any enemies on his route
who would attempt his life in such a
manner-Augusta Chronicle.

School Attendance in South Carolina

According to the census of 1920
there are 315,069 children to Is
years of age in the state of South
Carolina and of this number 274 ,429
or, S7.1 per cent. were reported as
attending school. In 1910 the per-
eentage attending school was SIS
thus indicating a decided improve
ment as regards school attendance
between 1910 and 1920. Of the chill
dren IA and Is years of age in 1920,
$50 per cent. were attending school
and of those 16 and II years of age
49.2>per cent.
OF the white children 7 to 13 years
of age $50 per cent. were attending
school in 1910 and $50 per cent. in
1920. For colored children of the
same age the percentage in the same
interval increased from 6O.4 to
1928.
The percentage of children attend
ing schools was considerably larger
in the cities than in the country dis
tricts, the percentage for children in
the urban population to 13 years
of age being 92.3 while in the rural
population it was S6.3. "Urban" ac-
cording to the census definition in
cludes all towns or cities and other
incorporated places of $500 popu-
lation or more.

Kaffir corn would not be too much
and one thousand of sunfower.
Kaffir corn heads can also be used
too, as separated from the heads,
for horse feed, and sunfower seed
have a market. The above outline
completes the thirty acres, both for
fall and spring planting.
Livestock.
The farm is not an economic one
nor a livable one without livestock.
Many far-seeing landlords are pursu-
ing the following. They rent out
livestock, taking each year rent in
kind. For example, COW in milk,
the landlord taking as rent each year
big calf He rents out a certain
amount of hogs, taking rent in kind
and he puts out, say twenty chick
ems and takes rent in chickens and
eggs. The thirty acre man can use
all of these matters for selling pur-
poses or for home use and it gives
him employment the year round on
the place.
About the Home.
To complete the above outfit l
should add ten grated pecan trees
which in three feet sire can be had
at s1.0O each, say $1,000: and ten
fruit trees for about $500, made up
of peaches, apples, figs and plums.
In later years these pecans ought to
return five to ten dollars per tree.
The above outline is land upbuild-
er and it keeps the farmer busy
throughout twelve months 1t intro
duces two new crops, viz, Spanish
peanuts as a successor to cotton as
money crop; it introduces Winter
Beardless barley, exceedingly pro-
ductive, beardless and safe to use,
never winter killed and makes more
grazing and far better hay than rye
indeed, its hay equals Timothy; it
also produces grains late in spring
when most needed and which grains
as soaked equal corn, bushel for
bushel, as feed.
It introduces Brown Top Millet
which is an incompatible annual
summer grazer. If there is not
sufficient grazing to keep it down
or if dry weather intervenes. and the
plant is about to go into the boot it
must be moved back: kept back it
will grow for grazing until frost.
The above formula in certain soils
might need for the grain plat GER

fall and nitrate OF soda IN the spring.

WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness - those
sharp pains when bending or lifting
make work a burden and rest impos
sible. Don't be handicapped by a
bad back-look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Bamberg residents example.
L. B. Fowler, contractor and build
er, Church St., says: MY kidneys
were weak and the secretions unnat
ural and highly colored. My back
was as stiff as leather and so lame
couldn't bend over. Doan's Kidney
Pills rid me OF all this trouble and
fixed me up in Al shape again"
