Saluda Dairying «
I can recall only three dairies
there when I was county agent in
Saluda 30 years ago.
When I was with County Agent
Kearse there the other day he told
me they now have 48 Grade A
dairies, and 75 other fanners pa
tronizing their milk routes! Both
numbers are growing constantly, he
said.
It was hard going on many of
those cold slate lands after the
weevils came. But when this grass
thing came along, those same lands
literally took fire. With their lime
stone bases, they are a natural
for grass. And now you ride and
ride through grasslands there, and
across the rolling hills and cool
valleys you can see good cattle at
-every turn.
Georgetown Pastures
Despite awfully dry summers the
past two years and rather severe
winters that held pastures back,
interest in them continues to grow
fast, according to County-Agent
McCord of Georgetown.
That area was once a range cat
tle area. But there is little of that
now. It is prepared and seeded pas
tures that McCord was talking
about. And most of the old woods
cattle have been replaced gradually
by better stuff.
Pulpwood Troubles
I was in a low country the other
day in which both the county agent
and a leading farmer told me of
troubles in trying to sell pulpwood.
The farmer said wood cut and
shipped from his woods in Febru
ary had not been paid for yet, and
he was dubious of ever getting it.
I asked if that wasn’t unusual, and
too green did all right.
Those May meetings were fol
lowed up over the peach belt with
others out in June when picking,
grading, packing, and loading were
demonstrated. The know-how is at
Six-Inch Sermon

The Bible says that not even a
hand for producing and packing! cup of water given in Gods name

Ferree sends It out in a monthly! kindness is a. gesture of trancen-
letter to growers. If you don’t get dant worth.
the county agent said no.
Further questioning revealed
that it was not the pulpwood man
ufacturers at fault there but the
system They only buy the system.
They only buy through dealers.
And evidently some dealers in that
area are not toting fair with the
farmers The mills pa/ them, and
then it seemed hard for the farm
ers to get their part.
Now, that’s bad. But it’s not ev
erywhere. I’ve been to many
places where there was no com
plaint against the dealers. They
were fair and farmers had confi
dence in them. I asked if they
could not sue in the above case.
But they said the dealer didn’t
have anything.
I know of no remedy but for
farmers to be very careful in sell
ing their timber, requiring suitable
deposit in advance, or suitable ref
erences from others before turning
their timber loose.
100 Percent Attendance
Back in May /they had 1£K> per
cent attendance at the peach grow
ers’ meeting in Edgefield county,
according to County Agent Lloyd.
Now that sounds good. It looks
like those folks intend doing some
thing about, improving the peach
business that the experts of Clem-
son had called the meeting, and
many others like it, for.
We Tiave a giant in this peach
business. But in late years that old
giant hasn’t been doing so well.
Last year generally was a bad one
for our peach growers. Yet one of
them told me the main trouble was
not so much a bad market as bad
peaches. He said those who had
good peaches and didn’t pick them
it, your county agent can have your
name put on the mailing list.
McCormick News
They have 50 acres of a new crop
in McCormick, pimientos. County
Agent Bonnette says 25 farmers

tain rich man which clearly illus
trates how immeasurably great a

We occasionally had a party for
the young folks back in the stone

But one in particular stands out

After his instructions,- had been

HEADACHES
Twenty-five years of almost daily suffering tells the
story of Mr. R. C. Allen of Mountville, S. C., before con
sulting Dr. C. J. Hart.
Now, Mr. Allen says: “My headache troubles are
over.”
Here is Mr. Allen’s own story of how he had the
cause of his troubles corrected:
“I have suffered with head
aches for about 25 years, and
“headache powder” was my
middle name. I just had to
take them every day for re
lict apd all the time the
headaches were getting worse.
They came more often and I
would be so sick I could
hardly hold my head up. I lost
lots of time from my work in
addition to the awful suffer-
in. Physicians said sinus trou
ble was the cause.
“Finally I decided to try
Chiropractic, so I consulted
Dr. C. J. Hart of Laurens, S.
C. Dr. Hart examined me and
found the cause of my trou
ble.
“After receiving Chiroprac
tic adjustments from Dr.
Hart, I can truthfully say that
I feel better than I have in
years and my headache trou
bles are over. .
“Folks, here is a way to get rid of those awful headaches with
out taking headache powders or potions. Consult Dr. C. J. Hart
of Laurens, S. C. He will take X-ray pictures and locate the
CAUSE of your trouble.
“After you have received Chiropractic adjustments, I am sure
that you will also say, as 1 have said. My headache troubles are
over.
“In the interest of suffering humanity, I give Dr. Hart per
mission to use this letter as he may see fit"

lina government will undergo
changes during the fiscal year be
ginning July 1, the date that many
laws passed by the 1952 General
Assembly become effective.
Two principal changes are the
creation of a State Wildlife Re
sources Commission and the open
ing of welfare relief rolls to public
1 inspection.
The commission, a compromise
plan between House and Senate,
will take over the state game war-1
den’s office and the State Board t
of (commercial) Fisheries. It will
appoint all game wardens and will
administer game and fish laws.
Welfare relief rolls have been se-1
cret because of Federal regula
tions. Congress said last year the
states, if they wished, could open
the lists of names of people on
relief to public inspection. The
South Carolina General Assembly,
following Governor Byrnes’ sug
gestion, ordered the rolls opened
beginning July 1,
The purpose, welfare adminis
trators and others say, is to throw
the light of publicity on individ

tives capable of supporting them.
Publicity in such cases, it is be
lieved, will embarrass the capable
relatives, into coming through with

To the Voters of Laurens County:
I respectfully ask you to support me for Sheriff in the primary on the 8th of July.
I am not a politician, but a man who believes in fair and impartial law enforcement. I was
born April 26. 1904, the son of India McIntosh Lowery and the late James L. Lowery of
Seneca. I attended Seneca Hig’h School and Piedmont College. My wife, whom I married in
1925, is the former Nell Grubb of Abbeville. We own our own
home and live on Farley Avenue in Laurens.
I have been a resident of this County for nine years.
Every dollar I own is invested here in Laurens County. I
pay just as much in taxes in this County as my opponent.
I am just as interested in the welfare and growth.jaf Laurens
County as anyone.
Having been trained as a peace officer, I am naturally
interested in impartial law enforcement; being a taxpayer,
I am interested in the kind of law enforcement we are get
ting and what it is costing us.
I have made this race with my own funds and with the
help of unpaid friends and those of you who want fair and
impartial law enforcement. I am not obligated to anyone. I
have kept my race clean; have not slung any mud; nor have
I said anything that would reflect on the character or integ
rity of my opponent.
I offer you 18'^ years of experience as a peace officer.
If elected, I will make the changes that you want made. Your
criticism of my administration will be welcomed, and if necessary, changes will be made
from time to time. This office belongs to the people of this county, and I will act only Is
your servant at all times.
To those of you who do not know me, I would like to submit my ideas of law en
forcement and some of the changes I will make: *
I think we are having entirely too much stealing, too much bootlegging, and too
many people of this county are being killed. I believe that these crimes can be reduced.
I believe that the deputies should be divided into three shifts and be on duty 24 hours a
day and that they should cover the county to prevent crime. You have invested around
$10,000 in a radio system; it should be used to its fullest extent. There is no excuse for
the deputies to sit around in the office. I believe that an officer should be sober at all
times.
I believe that the place for the jailor is at the jail and that the prisoners should be
fed three good meals a day.
I believe that everyone, regardless of race, creed, or color, is entitled to a fair and
impartial trial; that they should be tried on the charges they are charged with and not
tried on a lesser charge just to get a conviction. I believe that all cases should be fully
prepared before they are presented to the Grand Jury and the Courts; also that warrants
and papers should be served as soon as possible.
I believe that the taxpayers are entitled to know where and how their money is be
ing spent. The deputies should make daily reports on their activities and the sheriff
should give to the delegation a monthly report of all the expense and activity of his of
fice and that report should be printed in the papers of the county.
I believe in cooperation with all civic, fraternal, and religious organizations, also all
law enforcement agencies. I do not believe that the Sheriff’s office should become involved
in any local, county, state or national political race.
While serving as your Highway Patrolman, I became well acquainted with all sec
tions of the county, also* with your problems.
If elected, I promise to investigate all unsolved crimes. I promise that I will conduct
the office of Sheriff in a sober and business manner. „
I promise that I will not put on the payroll of this County any relative of mine
by blood or marriage.
I promise that I will give my entire time to this office and that I will enforce the
laws fairly and impartially.
My goal will be to make Laurens County a safer and better County to live in.
