More Smoking In Summer.

The percentage Of tobacco consumed
during the summer months greatly ex-
ceeds that used during a month In the
winter, according to figures compiled
by a prominent tobacco man. 81 can
only explain the increased sales in the
Summer season by the fact that smok-
ers are outdoors much more during
the warm weather and have more OPP
portunity to smoke" said the tobacco
man. "in the winter time man won't
always smoke when he's outdoors
On chilly day he prefers to put his
hands In his pockets instead of hold
ing a cigarette or cigar. In the sum-
mer time man lying on the beach or
out in the country may smoke to his
hearts content"

Potato a Misleading Plant.

Consider the putato-Spud for short;
remark the useful and undemOnstra-
tive potato. As IA plant, it Is refresh
ingly green. energetic. somewhat In
clIned to curiosity, and vigorous at all
times. Also, 1t is dcceptive-as most
of my friends who make living by
living In the country aud committing
into town know full well, writes ).
Morgan Powell In the Montreal Star.
The most green top will, when heaved
out of the earth, bring forth the most
dlminutive group Of tubers, shrivelled
and worn. Au cOntraire, Il stunted top,
with hue closely resembling dried
olive, Will, upon being given swift
and hefty tug. produce such an array
of stout ard gradely murphies as
would make the mouth Of a Belfast
waiter CULVER with passionate antici-
4 patton. Assuredly, the potato. ms a
! root, is most misleading plant.

Majority and Plurality.

A candidate in an election receives
a plurality Of votes when he obtains
more than any other candidate, and he
receives a majority Of votes when his
total Is more than all others. The
plurality is thus the excess of votes
received by any one candidate over
those received by the candidate hav-
ing the next highest number of votes.
while the majority Is the excess OF
votes received by the candidate hav-
Ing the highest number over those
received by all the others together.
Thus when a candidate for office, out
of, say 10000 votes, receive 1000, and
two other candidates receive respec-
lively $500 and $500, the first Is
elected by II plurality, though he has
, received less than a majority of the
whole vote, and he Is said to have a
plurality Of 500 votes, the difference
between 1000 and $500.

GaIIjo Of Achala-

Gallo, deputy OF Achaia, mentioned
in Acts XVIII, 12-17; Is we'll known
In Roman history. Greece, like about
all the countries bordering on the
Mediterranean sea, was part Of the
Roman empire, and the southern part
of Greece with the adjacent Islands
formed one province known as Achaia.
At the time Of ST. Paul Achaia was
a senatorial province, that Is, one
administered by the senate and not
by the emperor, and the title Of the
local ruler was prOconsul. At the
time referred to I'm that chapter of
Acts the prOcOnsul was Gallo, but In
our English version OF the Book Of
Acts the title is translated deputy. The
seat Of his government was In the city
of Corinth, in which st. Paul founded
a church to which he wrote two let
tiers.

don, who was unavoidably kept from
attending by illness in her family.
Miss Georgia Lee DeLoach, and Miss
Elizabeth Clark, Of Sumter, the
two other members, won the high
points mentioned through their su-
perb team work. 1t was stated that
had Sumter been represented by all
three contestants as planned in the
beginning, the 1,400 POINTS would
easily have been scored. Owing to
the non-attendance of Miss MeLcn-
don, Sumter county girls may not
now compete in the state contest for
points at Athens.
Notwithstanding the handicap,
Sumter county won the first prize for
corn meal muffins, high grade
sack of meal, and also scored high
on bread and biscuit making. Sum-

ported slight shocks as result Of

The home of Mrs. Mary B. Clay,

two children, playing in yard close

New shopmen Wire Labor Board
vt t. Protect Their Interests In
Strike Settlement

CHICAGO. August 3.-(By Ass"7
ciated Press There was iuii To-

To;I strike, Strike leaders turned
their attention toward Washington
where the president has telegram
cent bv the shopmen accepting ms
neace proposals on condition that the
nnions' Interpretation Of the settle
ment suggestions be recognized. Inc
rail executives are also awaiting news
from the capital after their accept
ance of the presidents suggestions
except that relating to seniority
Look For Fair Plan .
If the protection in seniority status
acquired by shopmen who have con-
tinucd to work in spite of the strike
could be guaranteed, any basis of
settlement the president might find
fair would be favorably considered By
the managements, it was said. Ten
tative negotiations during the day,
it was added, had brought no immed-
late tangible results.
The president was said to be await
ing the text of the reply which union
leaders at Chicago were drafting to
his settlement proposals. Secretary
Hoover, who attended the session of
the road executives at New York, saw
Mr.. Harding on his return yesterday,
but said that no immediate govern
mental steps were to be expected.
Other cabinet members who saw the
president for discussion of strike mat
ters indicated the feeling that claims
of railroad managements as to their
ability to maintain transportation
would get a test during the next few
days. These officials left the in
ference that if the strike demon
strated symptoms of dissolution as
predicted by the carriers, the presi-
dent might not move again.
Embargoes Resorted To.
1t was again emphasized, how
ever, that the nations necessity for
at least a minimum coal supply had
largely governed the presidents action
in the rail strike to date, and would
continue to do so. This was most inn
portant in the prospect it held out
that coal carrying roads of the dis
trlct south of the Ohio river might
draw particular government attention
or even control, unless settlement of
ther transportation capacity is ac-
compllShed very soon. Those lines
serve the larger non-union fields
which are the chief source of cur
rent coal supply for the northeast
section Of the United States. Three
