District Conference Held.

The Woman's Missionary confer
ence of Orangeburg district held its
annual meeting in the BarnWell
Methodist church June 18th.
The conference was CONSPICUOUS Tor
its large attendance and attractive
programme, which consisted of ad-
dresses and special music for the oc-
casion. All present at this time con-
sidered themselves particularly for
tunate in having with them Miss
Leila Epps, a returned missionary
from Brazil, who gave a most IN
spring talk on her work in the for
eign field. A number of the state
officers, who presented very interest
ing reports, was also present.
It is hoped that the next district
conference, which will be held in
Cameron, will be even more largely
attended as the enthusiasm and in
spiration drived from the meetings
are always to be desired and quite
worth while.

BETTER CROP CONDITIONS.
Vast Improvement Noted In Crops
Throughout This Section.

Conversations with various farm
ers throughout the county reveals
the fact that big Improvement in all
crops is noted. During the past two
weeks fine rains have visited practi-
cally all portions of the county. The
result is that cotton, corn tobacco,
and, in fact, crops of all kinds, have
taken on new life, and with good
seasons the remainder of the sum-
mer good crops will probably be
harvested.
Cotton is looking fully 25 per cent.
better than two weeks ago. The plant
was unusually hard to start growing
this year because of cold weather
during the first weeks after planting.
With the appearance of hot nights,
cotton started to grow with vim and
vigor
Corn was we'll nigh ruined when
the timely rains arrived. While not
a great while had passed since there
were rains, the thermometer has
ranged around 100 for the past three
weeks and it did not take but few
days to dry out the moisture in the
earth. The corn crop is probably
damaged because of the dry weather,
but it is now growing fine, and many
fields of fine corn may be seen all
over the county.
The greatest improvement of all is
seen, perhaps, in tobacco. Two
weeks ago the tobacco planters were
just about totally discouraged. The
appearances indicated that not half
crop could be made. The plants
were small, the leaves thin and small,
and at that the leaves began to pre-
maturely color, necessitating early
curing. Then the rains came and the
weed took new start, and now
many farmers say they have better
crop than last year. The premature
coloring has almost ceased, and the
leaves are broadening out, and the
acreage planted in tobacco in the
county bids fair to make good yield.
The curing of the weed is progress
ing as the maturing demands, but
NOT at so rapid rate as was indicated
two weeks ago.
The other crops, peanuts, beans,
peas, potatoes, etc., are looking
equally as we'll as cotton and to-
bacco.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Coca, and
D. Henry Douglass were married at
the brides home in Denmark, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.

It was an exceptionally pretty home

ing present. Many hydrangeas in
lovely shades artistically decorated
the living room, where the ceremony
was performed. The bride was most
beautifully gowned in a suit of navy
blue tricotine and hat to match with
gray accessories. The impressive
ring ceremony was used.
Mrs. Douglass is Winthrop grad

sesses a charming personality, which

her home and places where she has
taught. Mr.. Douglass is from prom
inent family of Chesterfield, and a
Young man of sterling qualities and
great popularity. He is cashier OF
the Farmers Bank of JEFFERSON.
After the ceremony Mr.. and MIS-

evmoon. They will go from there
to Jefferson, where they will make
their home.

BITTEN BY RATTLESNAkE.
Lodge Physician Seriously Ill For a
While From Poisoning.

Dr.. William Moorer, practicing
physician of Lodge, was bitten by a
rattlesnake Tuesday, and for several
hours it was feared he would lose his
life. DR.. Moorer and friend were
fishing in a pond a few miles from
Ehrhardt, and while in boat on the
pond a small snake was seen along
side the boat. Thinking it a young
and harmless reptile, DR.. Moorer
reached out his hand and caught it,
and was bitten on the finger. 1t was
then noticed that he snake had par
TALLY developed rattles, indicating
that it was the deadly rattlesnake. DR..
,Moorer cut open the wound and at
tempted to suck the poison from the
finger. He and his friend then hur-
ried to Ehrhardt for medical treat
ment, and in the meantime the en-
tire hand and arm became badly swol-
len, as was also the tongue, which
became infected when the wound was
sucked.
For a while the doctor was uncon-
scious, but information from Ehr-
hardt yesterday was to the effect that
he was much better, and that there
was probably no further danger.

In spite Of the fact that the shops
have been filled with garments of this
sort for the past few years they have
never been regarded as good style
nor been worn to any extent by real

In your wardrobe for summer there
should always be an attractive frock

you can be sure of and can fall back
on when the organizes have all be-
come mussed, and lighter clothes have
become soiled. You always think that
it will be so easy TO press your own
frocks with a little iron. But in your
busy days you do not take time and
you may be caught with nothing to
wear unless you take some substan-
tial. serviceable frock that looks we'll

An evening frock of black or brown

HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
BATTLES-SWAN SONG
OF WILLARD

Jack Dempsey played the accom-
paniment to Jess Wizards swan song
on July 4. 1919. at Toledo. o. 1t was
all over in the third round. Jess got
100000 for the performance, many
times the amount Caruso earns i'll a
whole opera. Dempsey got $4,000.
The champion fell down and got III
so many times in the first round that
the referee became dizzy from count
ing. and failed TO hear the bell. This
was on the fifth liason between Will
lard and the floor.
The gong sounded feebly on the
seventh count. but Referee Pecord
continued chopping the air over Will
lard. When he had finished he in
formed Dempsey that there had been
knockout and the champion left the
ring, only to have his manager come
running after him with the informa-
ton that there had been a mistake.
That first round was awful But 1t
prepared everybody for the worst and
no one was surprised when Willard
lost in the third round
Dempsey opened the fight by ac-
cepting some taps on the face. Then
he hauled off and busted Willard in
the stomach so hard that a dazed ex-
preston overspread the champions
countenance. Dempsey then landed
several blows to the jaw and Willard
dropped to the floor for six counts
oEly to fall again with a blow that
greeted mis- nose
