Power of Gravity Yet To
Be Harnessed, Finan
cier Believes.
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., January 9.—
Going back millions of years, the
Evolutionists claim that our ear
liest ancestors transported them
selves by wiggling their tails in the
water; and finally developed legs
from their fins so as to walk on dry
land. Assuming these Scienists
are right—although they may not
be—then these lizards finally de
veloped into human beings. Hence,
we will start our
essay on TRANS-
PORTATION by
beginning it with
WALKING.
Changes Always
Occur
As our a n c e s-
tors became tired
of always walking
they used SLEDS
hauled by various
B«f«r W. Babioa t ame animal s—
from oxen to horses. At the same
time, they made CANOEB out of
hollowed logs, which they finally
developed into SAILING VESSELS.
This was the state of the art when
North America was settled, al

"BACK “CATCHES’' AND" '
NECK "CRICKS”
Spastic contractions of the
muscles of the back and-or
neck can be exceedingly pain
ful and uncomfortable. There
are many factors that contrlb-
ute to, Sjuch a condition such as.
a strain or an acute "toxicity
that tends to aggravate these
spestic contractions of the
muscles. In some instances
where the conditions are of a
purely muscular nature it will
clear in a relatively short tbpe:
however, there are many of
these conditions in which there
is a nerve involvement that
blocks impulses and causes a
chronic sickness in the area af
fected. This type usually gets
worse or hangs on for days and
( days and sometimes weeks, of
tentimes with a tendency to
clear up and then strike again
and again.
Case History: An executive
from the textile mill, age 43,
turned his head in a twisted
pqsition and was stricken with
a “catch” in the back that was
very severe. He had to be as
sisted to bfed and his physician
was summoned. Despite medi
cal care the condition contin
ued to became worse. After a
week of suffering he consulted
a Chiropractor and a Chiro
practic analysis revealed that
the cause of his trouble was a
nerve pressure produced by a
displaced segment in the upper
part of his spine. When this
was adjusted he began to get
relief and in a day or so was
able to be up and about and to
go to his work.
Case History: Woman, age
33, was suffering with a severe
"crick” in her neck. The mus
cles contracted and drew her
• head down to one side and the
condition bacome increasingly
painful until it was almost
unbearable. An examination
made with the aid of the X-ray
and Neurocalometer revealed a
nerve impingement at the base
of the skull. When this was ad
justed the neck condition be
gan to clear. Relief was im
mediate. In a comparatively
short time the / trouble had
cleared completely. %
The sole aim of Chiropractic
is to relieve suffering humanity
and to enable it to enjoy
health to the fullest extent. -

soon used to take the place of
sleds.
When was a boy the only
means of transportation was
HORSES and BUGGIES, wagons,
barges and "hacks” which took
people to weddings and funerals.
RAILROAD lines were rapidly be
ing constructed and STEAM
BOATS performed an important
function. Fares were cheap and
freight rates low on all modes of
transportation. Although changes
and improvements were very grad
ual, yet they were continually tak
ing place.
Street Can and Busses
I saw the first horse CAR LINE
constructed in Gloucester, and later
one of my first jobs was to work!
on changing that horse car linej
into an electric line. I remember i
being greatly thrilled by taking my
wedding trip on electric street cars
with various changes. Fifty years
ago the entire country was honey
combed by ELECTRIC CAR lines,
most of which have been discarded.
The early promoters of these elec
tric lines made a lot of money; but
when automobiles came most of
them lost their money.
This change brought about the
development of BUS TRANSPOR
TATION both within the cities and
between cities. The only way most
electric car lines . could compete
with automobiles was by ripping
up their rails and operating on
rubber tires. As a result, the pub
lic is now getting better service
from these busses than they ever
had from sreet cars or horse-drawn
hacks which developed into motor-
driven taxis. In the meantime,
RAILROADS were forced to
greatly improve their service with
faster and air-conditioned trains.
Transportation Conditions Today
Transportation is no longer a
luxury. I cannot understand why
! the Interstate Commerce and va-
j rious State Regulatory Comrms-
I sions are kept alive, except to give
I political jobs. Not only are all the
means above competing with them
selves, but the TRUCKS and PRI
VATE AUTOMOBILES are com
peting with all of these other dif
ferent branches of transportation.
Furthermore, the airplane is con
stantly carrying more pasengers
and more freight. The next step
will be the helicopter. In fact, I
have recently bought a high, flat-
roofed building, in Boston, with di
rect subway connections, to serve
as a landing place for helicopters.
Have we reached and end of rad^
chahgeF~nf~Uie tran^SHatfon
of persons and goods? I say “No.”
What the next step will be none of
us can now tell. Some think it will
come through a new engine using
atomic power in some form. Oth
ers believe that we will return to
running our busses and motorcars
by electric batteries instead of gas-
oline. The electricity might be
made very cheaply from the rays
of the sun shining on the roofs of
our garages. (In Miami the hot
water used in homes is heated by
the sun on the roofs of the hous
es.)
Remember Power of Gravity
I believe that the power of grav
ity will be used to transport people
and freight. The Gravity Research
Foundation, with headquarters at
New Boston, New Hampshire, al
ready each year offers rewards for
essays on “HOW TO HARNESS
GRAVITY.” The 1952 awards were
just made. They were very sug
gestive of great changes ahead.
Surely the future is very bright for
all of us, if other industries are
developing as rapidly as the Trans
portation Industry.
Notes From The " *
County Agent's Office
By C. B. CANNON, County Agon!
FIto Aero Cotton Winnors
Announced
J. Scott George, Laurens, Rt. 3,
Trinity Ridge community, and Ben
Arnold, Negro, Ware Shoals, Rt. 1,
attended with the county agent a
meeting in Columbia January 8th
for the awarding of the five acre
cotton contest prizes for 1952.
Mr. George was first place win
ner of Laurens county, producing
3840 pounds of lint cotton of an
inch staple or better on his five
acres an deceiving $50.00. Ben Ar
nold placed second with 3250
pounds of an inch or better and re
ceived $25.00. #
There were 11 farmers entering
and completing their five acre con
test from the county. Those be
sides Mr. George and Arnold were:
Milton Y. Blakely, Ora; Samuel C.
Gambrell, Jr., Owings; J. Talmadge

ley, Charles D. Wilson and Hers-
schel W! Wilson, Laurens Rt. 3, and
E. E. Weisner,; Gray Court, Rt.. 2.
All farmers grew Coker variety of
cotton except Mr Weisner who
grew Whnnamaker variety.
Bosie Williams, Negro farmer of
Ninety-Six, Greenwood county,
was named as the 1952 state win
ner, producing 5910 pounds of lint
cotton on his five acres and receiv
ed $750.00. Second place winner
was W. T. Elrod, Easley, pickens
county, producing 5170 pounds of
lint and received $275.00.
The first and second place win
ners in the three districts and their
respective fields are: upper district,
Julian Litle, Cheraw, 5,110 pounds
of lint, and R. W. Betts, Chester,
4900 pounds; middle district, E. F.
Canipe, Sumter, 5,000 pounds of
lint; and J. C. Bauknight, Irmo,
4,364 pounds of lint; lower district,
Otis J. Cropse, Estill, 4,635 pounds
of lint, and Paul J. Cropse, Lena,
4,210 pounds of lint. The first and
second district prize winners each
received checks for $200 and $125
respectively.
The state and district prizes were
made available by the South Caro
lina Textile Manufacturer’s as
sociation. The county prizes were
—
donated by the .^outh Carolina Cot
ton Seed Crushers association. The
contest was under the supervision
of the Clemson Extension Service.
The announcement of the win
ners and checks were ayarded at a
luncheon held at the Jefferson
hotel. At the close of the meeting
announcement was made that the
five acre cotton contest would be
sponsored again for 1953. It is
hoped that several Laurens county
farmers will enter the contest this
year.
D. W. Wakins, director, Clemson
Extension Service, presided at the
luncheon and presented a number
of former state prize winners and
other guests. The county prizes
were delivered bt C. Fitzimmons,
Jr., Columbia, president, the South
Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers as
sociation, and the state and district
prizes were presented by C. A.
Gibson, Greenville, president, tho
South Carolina Textile Manufac
turer’s association. Joseph Walker,
Jr., Columbia, and D. E. McCuen,
Jr., Greenville, represented the At
lantic Cotton Association. S. A.
Williams, Clemsoh extension cotton
ginning specialist, who was in
charge of the 1952 contest, told
briefly of the past and future of
the contest. There were 646 con
testants who completed demonstra
tions and submitted records.
Due to the extreme heat and dry
weather during the growing season
the staple length of the 1952 con
test was materially reduced. Some
contestants with higher yields fail
ed to qualify for prizes on account
of the fact that their.staple length
was less than one inch as required
in the contest.

AND
HOME
Bather than tacking oilcloth or
plastic material to your kitchen
table tops, it’s best to glue or paste
it on. It stays on better without
slipping and there are not holes in
it to cut down wear.
Egg beaters should never be
soaked This loosens the cogs and
makes them give less wear than
is intended. Dry them as soon as
you finish washing.
Black specks on silverware can
be cleaned with a paste of whit
ing, which is free from grit, mixed
with olive oil. Polish with a soft
cloth.
