Hie Wateree Messenger ? "vv " ' ' . Published Every Wednesday by QBA8. W. BIRCH MORE, Prop. Entered as Second Class Matter at the Peetofflee at Caade% S. C. ? iWBVP. * '? Subscription $1.50 ? Yew in Advance & v * ~ s T Wednesday, December 7, 1982 THE NEW ERA OF ROAD BUILDING Ohio recently completed 1800 miles of dustless, mudless farm-to-market roads at an average cost of but $2,000 a mile. Commenting on this, State Highway Director Merrell said, "The relationship of flattened public pocketbooks to the ever increasing need for new roads opens up a new era of road construction." Like all other "commodities," roads have gone through constant evolution in this country. At the beginning of the automobile age, there were few highways that didn't tax the re sources of even the horse and buggy, i Then came the beginnings of the su per-highways, costing untold thou- 1 sands of dollars a mile. "Political" roads were built ? splendid, high jjriced arteries, traversing country | which had no need for them. Millions of dollars of tax money were wasted in this way. Now, as Mr. Merrell said, we have come to a new era. We have learned that the cost of a road must be mea sured by the return it gives us ? that it is as wasteful to build a $20,000 a mile road where a $2,000 a mile road would serve, as to build a low-cost road where traffic demands an art ery that can withstand the constant passage of the heaviest vehicles. Science has given us materials and processes making possible the con struction of first-class, weatherproof rural roads for very small sums. States which are building low-cost roads, connecting farms and small towns with the outside world, are laying a foundation for the future. They are setting the stage for more profitable farming, and for accele rated community development. / CHEAPER THAN CHARITY This is addressed to the millions of Americans who have jobs and in comes and money to spend. Perhaps they haven't as much income as they did a few years ago? but the chances are that dropB in the cost of living have compensated for their salary cuts arid lowered dividends. These millions owe an obligation to those other millions who are unem ployed, and are facing a winter of distress and poverty. That obliga tion can be partially ? but only part ially ? met by contributions to chari ty. Of greater moment is the obli gation to give their less fortunate fellows jobi. All aver the country there are homes in need of repair. People have been holding back and refusing to spend ? waiting for better times. And yet it's as obvious as the multiplica tion table that better times will nev er come until money again flows through the business arteries, and into the channels of trade. Today we can do ?ome needed re-roofing, ro pair the bathroom, build a new room repaint the home, fix the heating plant and a hundred other necessary improvements for a fraction of what they cost in the past ? and a fraction of what they will cost in the future when better times actually do appear. By doing those things now, we are putting money into our own pockets as well as into pockets that are emp ty. Increased purchasing power is the vital need of the hour. More pay rolls ? more employed workers ? more busy industries. Look uround your] ? property, see what improvements you need ? and act, it's cheaper and bet ter than charity. THIS STATE IN AVIATION Columbia and Camden joined the air mail cities of South Carolina when ' * new airline was inaugurated Thurs day with scheduled stops in those cities. The Palmetto state now has a sextette of cities with air mail, Spatrtanburg, the pioneer, Greenville, . Flor^ ce, Charleston, Columbia and Camden, Few Southern states have made such air progress. It shows the strategic position of South Caro lina south of the line. ? Spartanburg Herald. v. V '? - '*l * ? Tk*?r Work W*? D*n?

BOO CHOLERA ? ? $ ? ? . . m There hate been recent outbreaks of hog cholera in the county and this is to urge all hog owners who have not had their hogs and pigs vaccina*' .ted to do so as soon as possible. , None of these outbreaks have been allowed to spread very far due to the fact that the ownerri of these hogs have gotten in touch with your coun ty agent just as soon as the sickness was noticed and arrangements were made for getting all the hogs in that community vaccinated immediately. However, the majority of the herd of hogs where the outbreak starts is usually lost before treatment can be administered. Within the past 1 to 3 years 'hog cholera losses have been cut down a great deal in Kershaw County due to the splendid cooperat ion the farmers have given in this matter, but the ultimate aim is to eradicate cholera from our county as I nearly 100 per cent as possible. This can be done by each farmer having his pigs vaccinated when they are a bout 6 or 7 weeks of age or just a bout a week before weening. This age is best because it gives early insur ance throughout the life of the hog ind costs less because less serum and virus is required for a small pig than one for a shoat or larger hog. In event of outbreaks of cholera our farmers are urged to get in touch .vith the county agent immediately. ANNUAL RAT CAMPAIGN PLAN NED FOR KERSHAW COUNTY Encouraged by the splendid results obtained fromthe anti-rat campaign conducted last year, county agent Green plans to again put on a rat "ailing campaign and is very anxious that as many people as possible in the county take part in order that the results may be as successful as lossible. One important feature about this at killing work is that it does not do a great deal of good for one man to kill rats on his place and his neigh I ')or leave them unkilled on an adjoin ing farm for the reason that the rats ?o left will soon migrate or at least a part of them will migrate to the Larm where the rats have recently )een killed, thereby reinfesting the premises of the place previously erad icated. Therefore, it is urged that the people of Kershaw county wheth or directly or indirectly interested in the matter take steps to make the campaign a success. The date set for putting out poison throughout the entire county is Sat urday, January 21. Publicity work is begun this far ahead for the purpose of enrolling every family in the coun Ly on the list of those who will put out this poison. Rats do thousand of dollars worth of damage anually to not only the farmsteads of the county but also in the towns and city. The material to be used for killing these rats is Red Squill which is not a poison but rather an emetic. It is harmless to dogs, people, hogs, chick ens, livestock. In fact, as far as is known rats and mice are the only an imals susceptible to Red Squill since rats are unable to vomit. This work is to be conducted in co operation with the U. S. D. A. but the bait is prepared under the direct supervision of the?U. S. D. A. The actual cost for sufficient material to kill the rats on an ordinary farm stead will be between 40 and 50 cents. However, definite order* must be re ceived before the campaign in order .that sufficient material may be se cured. Please talk this over with your neighbors as they may not see this notice and urge on them the impor tance of everyone, in your community to kill rats on the date specified. Farmers or others who will cooperate by acting as local distributors are re quested to please notify the Co. Agt. at once. _ 1 A DRY MESSAGE By Rev. J. Keels* "Pastor Presbyterian Church, Bethune, S. C. Woe to the drunkards or Ephraim! This was Isiaah's message about twenty-seven hundred years ago." Lift your heads ? from your wine bowls, look North," he cried to the men pf Jerusalem. The sun is shining but the clouds are coming. The Etorm is about to break upon Eph raim. The people of Ephraim had been proud in their plenty. They had al ways been hard drinkers. Amos, some years before, pronounced Judg ment on those lolling upon their couches and gulping their wine out of basins, women as well as men. Now, woe to the drunkards who are sup posed to be God's people. You have seen a beautiful flower fade and lose its glorious beauty. Well, that's *Ephraim. Ephraim was a fading flower to be cast down by the hand of God with violence and trodden under foot in the mud and mire of the storm. Isaiah's intention was to rob pas sion of its magic. When passion is robbed of its magic, wonderful whis key ? liquid joy, will be seen to be liquid death. You will know that it will bring woe, sorrow, babbling. You will kitow that it will cause one to hear the voices of demons shrieking and the hiss of serpents in the ears and that it is put in the mouth to steal away the brains. Disaster will show up passion in its true nature. Isaiah had cast pearls before swine The men of Jerusalem reel with wine and stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judg ment. They turn upon Isaaih's mes sage with tipsy men's insolence. Who are you going to teach? They 3neeringly ask. Are we little child ren? You repeat and repeat and 3ay things over and over again. You call me stammer. God shall 3peak to you thru barbarians who 3hall taunt you at your gates. Then you will hear how God can stammer. To Isaiah's threats of destruction the politicians replied, we have bought off destruction. They meant that they had made some treaty with a foreign power. Then Isaiah spoke words like these. Hear tho words of Jehovah, ye scoffers, you say that you have made is too short for a man to stretch himself upon and the covering is too narrow for him to wrap him self up in. To those who are dismayed by the message of destruction Isaiah says, God has a plan which He will work out in His own good time. Woe to the drunkards of America! Woe to those who buy and sell strong drink! Woe to politicians who cove nant with Death and Hell! May the glory of our great nation not fade as a fading flower. In the name of Isaiah's God woe to church members who drink wine and Iced Coffee !
