governor in January.
Speculation has been that the for
mer state senator and long-time state
circuit judge would re-enter the ar
my from the governor’s office. He
was a colonel during World War II.
He indicated this possibility in his
statement, saying:
“Like so many other Americans,
my future depends on developments
in the present international crisis.
“I am an active member of the re
serve corps of the army and subject
to call at any time. I am ready to
serve in any capacity in which I can
be used during this emergency.”
In the meantime, Governor Thur
mond said, he and Mrs. Thurmond,
the former Jean Crouch of Elko, who
was a secretary in the governor’s of
fice when they were married three
years ago, plan to visit his home in
Edgefield for a few weeks after he
leaves office.
Governor Thurmond’s statement
was:
“Like so many other Americans,
my future depends on developments
in the present international crisis.
“I am an active member of the re
serve corps of the Army and subject
to call at any time. I am ready to
serve in any capacity in which I car.
be used during this emergency.
“In the meantime, Mrs. Thurmond
and I expect to return to Edgefield
when my term expires and spend a
few weeks with my mother and
other members of my family, after
' which it is my plan to resume the
practice of law' and establish an of-
| fice at Aiken.”

ing seed Any local farmer who does
: not have on hand planting seed will
find much difficulty next ypring in
■ locating seed' and at a higher price
I than now.
Reports are that poison for boll
weevil control will be scarce. In
fact, some companies are not quot
ing prices at this time. With the un
settled conditions as confronting the
world, no farmer can feel secure of
his fertilizer, etc. until it is in his
bam. So many things, such as strikes
in plants and railroads, can tie up
critical material. The increased need
of Ubor in industrial plants and the
coll to the arm forces will effect
labor on the farm
Le*pede«a Seed For Hay
With the short lespedeza seed crop
this year there is sure proof that les
pedeza seed will be scarce and high I
in price next spring
Frank O Black. State Statistician,'
states that the seed crop in South,
Carolina is the smallest crop since
1943 Lespedeza is by far our majo: ;
hay crop. It would be wise to see
that your demand is satisfied at an!
early date.
As to the production of lespedeza |
seed in the United States, this year, j
is indicated to be 34 percent smaller,
than last year and eight percent be
low the 1939-38 average. It appears
that the 1950 seed crop will be the
smallest in ten years.

Two Negro Women
Die In Fire At .
County Home
Laurens, Dec. 18—Two Negro
women died Sunday night in a fire
which destroyed the Negro dormi
tory at the Laurens County Home on
the old Clinton highway. Two other
patients quartered in the building es
caped unharmed.
Vashti Mosley and Ota Madden,
both about 50, were trapped in the
blaze as efforts to rescue them fail
ed. The Madden woman was paral
yzed, authorities at the institution
said.
Origin of the fire is unknown. The
flames were discovered at approxi
mately 11 p. m. by passing motorists
who roused the sleeping patients, the
nurse, Miss Venie Blakely, and Supt
J. O. Strjfoling. The main building,
which housed white persons, suffered
little damage. The dining hall and
kitchen, adjacent to the Negro dor
mitory at the rear of the main struc
ture, was also burned to the ’ground.
The Laurens city fire department
responded to the alarm and fought
the blaze for more than two hours,
exhausting the water supply from
four wells.
