that the court house will not be avail

Among other things to be consid-

mcndations for cropping plans and
renting contracts, to be used under
boil wcevl conditions.
1T Is also understood that tho farm
crs OF the county will be given the Oh
portunity to express their attitude to-
ward the continuation of the demon.

ing between the members of the lower
mouse OF representative and Mr.. A. A.
Mcltcown, Of clemson college. was
held here last week, but nothing
definite was decided upon, according
to reports after the meeting. A visit
was also made to Sen. Goodwin, at his
home in the country, but he was I'M
able to commit himself on the subject.
Mr. Mckeown let it be known that
liberal cooperation upon the part of
the county will be necessary If the

This is read as another doubtful
day, according to astrology. Venus,
Saturn, Neptune and Mercury are
all in a malefic aspect.
1t is a time in which women
should be especially careful In busi-
ness affairs, the tendency being to-
ward unwise financial risks and
lack of sound caution.
MiIliners, importers and jewelers.
may find the rule depressing to busi-
ness.
Venus is in a place that is read
as warning theatres of lack OF pa
tronage. This applies to picture
houses as well as to the places
where spoken drama is presented.
Again astrologers prophesy the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Turkey and trou
Bile over it among European ma
tions.
The King of Belgium is warned
by the seers that the total eclipse
of the Sun in April will be exceed
ingly unfortunate for him. The con-
junction of Mars and Saturn falls
on his radical Ascendant, which is
indicative of personal danger.
There's is a sign e as promising
for an American woman a foreign
mission of great honor.
All the planetary aspects seem to
point to four years in which there
will be a return to old national
ideals, but the accusation of
tionary policies will be made and
much trouble Is likely to brew.
Women will be subject to a gov
eminent of the stars that should i'm
pei them toward constructive and
reform movements that affect them
selves.
Children should receive special
attention as a national asset. There
is danger of many crimes and cruel
ties in which they r victims.
Persons whose birthdate il is may
have a yea or some stress. They
should be careful of the health and
run no risks in business.
