VOL. 12—NO. 18 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1949 + $1.50 PER YEAR
By J. M. Eleazer
During the recent Farmer’s
Week at Clemson I walked
to the Qalhoun mansion with
some friends. And the oft’ ask
ed question came up, “Why was
this school named Clemson and
not Calhoun.
Years ago I wondered about
that myself. Later I read his
tory and found out.
John C. Calhoun had no more
to do with founding this school
than I did, and it was already
here when I was born.
Thomas G. Clemson was born
in Pennsylvania, educated in
this country and abroad as a
chemical and mining engineer,
married Calhoun’s daughter in
1838, became very much inter
ested in agriculture and indus
trial education, and willed his
plantation and some money to
South Carolina for the estab
lishment of such a school in the
very early Nineties.
The only connection Calhoun
has with the establispient of
Clemson was the fact that
Clemson married his daughter
a half century before Clemson,
who had long been in possess
ion of the Calhoun home, do
nated it for the establishment
of the school that beares his
name.
Clemson is indeed fortunate
in that its campus embraces the
plantation of its greatest states
man,and his old mansion is
still perfectly preserved there.
But the great John C. Calhoun
knows nothing about the exis
tence of Clemson College, un
less he could have looked for
ward a half century from the
time of his death and saw his
son-in-law leave land and mon
ey for that purpose.
So Clemson it is, and all that
it could in truth be.
Homely Wisdom
I like to read the sound and
practical wisdom written down
by old Benjamin Franklin. Lis
ten to this from his ancient
pen:
“When you get in a tight,
say your prayers at night, eat
three good meals a day, and
be courteous to your creditors.”
And Audley Ward says: “One
thing the matter with the
world today is that we have
forgotten how to use baling
wire.”
And Sidney Wtolff of Man
ning says: “What we need to
day is a nickel with five cents
in it.”
LITTLE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ABOUT FOLKS YOU KNOW
Weevil Controlled
“The boll weevil can be suc
cessfully and economically con
trolled,” says County Agent
Jackson after viewing their
community in which all 140
acres of cotton had been pois
oned right six times. A good
crop is being picked there,
while cotton around it is turn
ing out only a fourth to a third
of a bale per acre.
“This is a year that will dem
onstrate in no uncertain terms
the value of poisoning,” says
County Agent King of Dorches
ter. Cotton properly poisoned
is making a fair crop, while
much of that unpoisoned is a
practical failure there, accord
ing to King.
Quick Sweet Potatoes
L. C. Breland of Colleton
county set sweet potato sprouts
out on April 1 and harvested
them on July 1, according to
County Agent Alford.
Many farmers in the Low
Country are making a run for
that early potato market.
Prices are generally good then,
making up for the smaller
yields. But if those early
sprout potatoes were left later
they might not turn out any
more marketable potatoes. For
early sprouts ar e usually used
to get early vine cuttings from.
And they make very rough po
tatoes if left until fall. So
sweet potato growers do as Mr.
Breland did, dig them early.
And his is th e earliest digging
I have heard of. Alford didn’t
day, but I’ll bet he got good
money for them.
South Carolina Leads
We are a small state. Yet
last year the cotton mills of
South Carolina produced 41 per
cent of the cotton woven good.-?
in the nation. Our mills print
ed and finished more than the
next three states put together.
They were Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and New Jersey.
Clemson’s textile department
works closely with this great
development. Its graduates fill
many technical and managerial
positions in our mills. And the
mills are endowing the college
so that it can perform a greater
service to the young men who
get their training here. And
they in turn can then better
help advance the textile busi
ness that grows in our midst.
Boys Are That Way
In the Stone Hills of the
Dutch Fork, where I was rais

summer until we were grown.

tough as summer wore on.
Out in midsummer, when the
dewberry vines had finished
their long new runners on the
ground, we would have foot
races through them. And by
that time the bottoms of our
feet had hard soles on them
that ordinary briers could not
phase.
Once Zeke (my colored play
mate) and I were racing
through a big dewberry patch
there below the house. I was
leading him just a little until
one of those long thorny vines
caught on the top of my foot
and pulled across my instep
like a saw. It bled a lot and
he and I picked small briers
out of it for some time.
But the bottoms of our feet
could stand everything except
the stoutest thorns that grew
on “horn bushes” and the giants
that spurted from the trunks
of our honey locust trees. We
respected these and tread light
ly where they were.
Next week let’s talk about
the worst thing that came to
bare feet stone bruises. We
had ’em. And one could damp

Good Financing
The Dollar days held here on
September 2 and 3 proved to
be a profitable undertaking for
business houses, according to
Cliff Graham, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce. The
two days grossed $50,000 more
than the same dates of a year
ago, despite several adverse
factors. Last year the New
berry Mills was running full
time, cotton was more advanc
ed and prices generally were
higher. In spite of unfavorable
conditions/ this year people
crowded the -stores and bought
liberally of the offerings, Mr.
Graham said.

Packers Finding
S. C. Swine Poor
Williston, Sept. 14.—A live
stock specialist said here to
day that the Kinghan Packing
Company of Orangeburg has
found it cheaper to import hogs
from Indiana than to buy in
South Carolina.
J. T. Graves, district live
stock specialist told 400 farm
ers that’s because the company
has found South Carolina hogs
suffer from parasites and
bruises in many cases.
He spoke at a swine field
day at the farm of T. P. Pen
der. Pender demonstrated the
scientific methods he uses to
raise hogs.
He showed 200 barrows and
gilts that had been farrowed
only six months ago and were
ready for market. Pender said
he has been able to do that
through sanitary methods, labor
saving devices and a concen
trated diet.
An electric fan which keeps
his barn cool allows the hogs
to put on weight faster. He
said he feeds his hogs only
once a day on a diet mostly
semi-solid dairy by-products.
Eighty of his hogs sold to
day to the Southland Provision
Company of Orangeburg for an
average of $225.25 a hundred
weight. That was a premium
of a penny a pound above the
current market.
