GIANT EELS ARE LANDED.
Sea Serpent Tales of Sailors Prove
Fatal.

Portsmouth, Va, Aug. 25.-Vis-
ions of sea serpents entertained per-
haps by some members of the crew OF
the lighthouse tender Columbine took
concrete form on the last trip Of that
vessel to the Cape Lookout break
water when more than dozen giant
eels, at least foot in circumference
and over five feet in length were
hauled aboard via the fsherman's
hook and line route.
First Officer Holm, of the Colum-
bine, which returned late yesterday
to the lighthouse depot here is spon-
sor for the statement that in ad-
dition to the dozen taken, at least
twenty-five larger super-eels, taking
hook, line and tackle escaped. Thirty
six two and one-half inch hooks
were carried away by the eels.
According to the Columbine COM
plement the super-eels were excep-
tionally fine eating.

Uncle Sam Shy Cash.

The Rev. Billy Sunday once said in
a Victory loan speech, "Uncle Sam is
little shy on cash right now, boys,
and he wants to make little touch, )"
and since then two expert economists
have been writing prescriptions for
Uncle Sam free of charge. They are
believed to fear that financially
speaking the old gentleman has gone
to the bow-wows.
But letter received here yesterday
from the Internal Revenue Services
office in Columbia sheds light on the
fact that in spite Of all this Uncle
Sam is honest and doesn't want even
two pennies that is not due him.
= "This Office is today in receipt of
check from you in the amount of
$3.50, to cover balance of your in
come tax for the year 1920.
"Beg to advise that the records
show that your balance is SS.2S in
stead of $50, and the office has TAX
en- liberty of reducing your check ac-
cordingly, in order to save time and
confusion," reads the letter.-News

Age in South Carolina.

According to the census of 1920,
40.S per cent, or about two-flfths, OF
the people of the state of South Caro-
lima are either infants or children
under Is years of age5 1919 per cent.
are young people Is to 19 years old;
1913 per cent, about one-third are
men and women in the prime of life,
being from 20 to Al years old; while
14.4 per cent, being As years of age
and over, are we'll along in middle
life if they have not reached old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to A years of age being
43.2 for the urban population as COM
pared with 31.S for the rural, while
the percentage under Is years of age
is S0.2 in the urban population as
against 43.1 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate larger families
of children in the country than in
the city, but probably indicate also
the fact that country children as they
grow up have a tendency to flock. to
the cities thereby increasing the &C
tive adult population of the cities at
the expense of the rural districts.
Over two-fifths of the population,
46.s per cent, are old enough to vote,
being Fl or over; and in this class the
men and women are practically equal
in numbers. The males of military
or fighting age, Is to A, constitute
36.5 per cent. of the male population
and 1872 per cent. of the total popu-
lation.

SWEET POTATO AS
REAL MONEY CROP
NORTH CAROLINA CROP WORTH
S1s,OOO,O0O IN 1919.
Attention Called To It.
North Carolina Land Owners Are
Informed of Needs for
Handling Crop.

In view of the report of the sweet
potato situation by the manager OF
the South Carolina Development
Board at a conference here a few
days ago, the following from the
North Carolina Land Owners Asso-
citation is of interest:
The sweet potato crop in North
Carolina the year 1919, was valued
at 100000, and it is stated by
competent authorities that at least
so per cent. of the crop was lost or
wasted through failure to provide
adequate curing and storage facili-
ties. In other words, approximately
six million dollars was lost during
the year 1919 by the sweet potato
growers of North Carolina, resulting
not only in a great loss to the pro-
ducer, but also deprivng the great
mass Of consumers of the pleasure
and privilege Of getting an adequate
supply of this important food at rea-
sonable prices. To eliminate this
frightful waste, we must establish
curing houses and proper storage
facilities. r~~.:
j. North Carolinians are too sensible
to allow such a condition to longer
exist and farmers will add greatly
to their wealth by applying the sys-
tenn of cooperating marketing to the
sweet potato industry and in making
proper provision for saving the crop
after it is made. There is big de-
mand the year round for the sweet
potato in this state, and there are
markets in the north and west for
all of our surplus crop.
Will sweet potatoes pay the farm
er? Read the following figures COM

ment Of agriculture, showing average
crop values per acre in North Caro-
lima for the year 1920

One acre sweet potatoes $119.70
The above statement issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture shows that four acres in corn,
cotton, wheat, and cow peas, did not
yield combined, as much to the farm
er as the one acre of sweet pota-
toes and is conclusive evidence that
the sweet potato is one of the best
money crops for North Carolina farm
ers. 1t has been demonstrated time
and again that our soil and climate
are especially adapted to the grow

which weigh upon them during the
remainder of the year.
With Firestone, Edison and Ford
these camping excursions have be-
come an annual event. Formerly
John Burroughs, the aged naturalist,
was a member, but his death last
spring removed his ,patriarchal fig
ure from the group. By his asso'
ciates he was esteemed so highly
they considered no less parsonage
than the president of the United
States could take his place, and Mr..
Harding accordingly was invited to

Despite the fact that a few attend
ants were with the party, he insisted
on doing his share of the camp
chores, as did the others, devoting
most of his attention to the wood
pile. Few persons have the distinc-
ton of eating dinner cooked over
wood chopped by the presidential
axe.
