"Home Town Stuff"
Hear Ed DeCamp in the Gaffnoy
f.rdger:
Blow your home town's horn.
Let your bugle be heard around
the world. What would this town
be if folks didn't have something
to wy tof it? The good effect is
umulative. ' If one says things loud
enough ftnd often enough, things
will begin moving our town's way.
? H has proved true in the past; it
will prove doubly so now.
Some towns excel la one thing.
Some excel in others. All, it is safe
to say, excel in some things. Play
'em up. Maybe it's railway facili
, ties, and that means convenience in
hipping. Ma^be it is schools. Par

Or low tax rate. Or it may bq a

Pavod streets, efficient city admin

growing park system, a boulevard

people will give a tip to the friends
of the town for something to talk
about.
The man who boosts his town is a
good citizen. He need not brag ?
simply tell the truth. Tell folks why
tho ojf&nome town, with its rows of
shady trees,, its utf-to-the-minute
homes, fine kept lawns and its Sun

and, if nothing else, it will result in
yourself being more happy and more
contented.
Making Lead Pencils
To make the wooden tube in whieh
the lead for a pencil is encased the
manufacturer cuts out a board about
seven inches long, the width of six
^ncils and as thick as half a pencil
in diameter. With a machine he then
shapes it into six semi-round or semi
hexagonal sections and grooves on e
side to hold the lead. When the lead
in inserted the halves are glued to
gether. The lead in a pencil is com
posed of graphite.
Gunmen Make Rich Haul
Buffalo, Oct. 29. ? Two gunmen to
day swooped down, upon an armed
bank automdbile, killed the driver,
wounded a guard and escaped with
$93,000 in cash. Witnesses told the
police that one of the gunmen re
sembled photographs of Harry Har
ris, alias Garfield, who4 skipped his
bail in Detroit after having been ar
rested there charged with participa
tion in several Buffalo payroll rob
beries.
Bandits ceasc their looting and the
wartiors their fighting when it rains
in China, insuring peace to citizens.
Walter Johnson Kills Huge Bear
St. Augustine, Fla., Oct. 28. ? Wal
ter Johnson, star pitcher for the
Washington Americans, "struck out"
a Florida black bear today in the
swamp country south of Hastings.
The bear, which weighed 200 pounds,
was trailed by a pack of dogs. John
son was chief rifleman in the party,
which included a number of sports
men fro-m Daytona and Hastings.
Members of the party said Johnson
? usually the coolest man on a ball
field ? was somewhat excited when
the bear was surrounded. He was
wild with his first two shots but
settled down to his regular control
and dispatched the animal. It was his
first bear hunt in the swamplands.
Makes Profit on Poultry
R. V. Vernon, Union county farmer,
whose home Is not far from Monroe,
N. C., has disproved the old statement
that there is no profit in raising
poultry. Mr. Vernon started the sea
son this year with three hundred
Barred Rocks. On July.l, he culled
these three hundred and sold one hun
dred of the culls. Since that time he
has kept nearly two hundred laying
hens. Up to September 1 he had sold
$703 worth of eggs and one hundred
fifty broilers, in addition to the 100
hens. Mr. Vernon did not keep a
record of the amount he received for
the broilers and hens, but it amounted
to a substantial sum. He figured the
cost of feeding at comparatively
nothing, since the feed for the chick
ens was raised on land that otherwise
would have been idfe.

LONG DROUGHT BROKEN
Heavy Rainfall* Reported From All
Section* of The State
(Tuesday's Columbia State)
South Carolina's most disastrous
drought is broken.
Heavy rains falling throughout th*
Piedmont have relieved that section
? among many sufferers the one most
severely affected ? and have augment
ed greatly water stands in streams,
assuring a much needed water supply
for industries dependent upon hydro
electric power.
The drought has been broken in
both the Piedmont and the lower
Carolina coast, Uiehard II. Sullivan,
meteorologist in charge of the South
Carolina section of the United States
weather hureau? said yesterday after
noon, while heavy rains in central and
eastern South Carolina h*yd been com
paratively light.
Reports from several cities? -not
ably Sumter, Florence and Orange
burg ? last night indicated, however,
that even in these sections the intens
ity of the rainfall had increased and
pointed to a general break up of the
drought throughout the Palmetto
state.
Even in portions of the state whorj
the precipitation has been compara
tively light a maximum good has been
realized from the rainfall, for the'
rain has descended for the most part
?in a slow, misty drizzle that buried
deep into the thirsty soil and brought
new life to tree and grass and culti
vated plant.
Aided by cloudy weather and little
wind the soil has been able to retain
practically all the moisture received,
Mr. Sullivan pointed out such a rain
being of much greater benefit than a
.heavy summer thundershower fol
lowed by. a bright sun.
The drought stricken Piedmont,
which has received occasional scat
tered showers 4urin& l?ng period,
was drinking up its full Sunday and
yesterday of the heaviest rain since
last spring. TJie rain has been fall
ing at just the places needed to send
up the gauges in Broad and Saluda
rivers, important streams in the
hydro-electric industry, and already
Broad river at Parr Shoals has an
excellent stand of water, Mr. Sulli
van explained.
Rains were needed only in the up
per Waterec watershed to insure for
the present an abundance of water
I power for the industries using that
stream, he went on to say.
plowing will of course be
greatly .benefited by the rains which
have softened the soil throughout the
state. Germination of winter grains
and development of other crops are
also being brought about by the gen
eral precipitation. And water that
has sunken deep into the earth will
eventually find its way to wellg and
Springs, where it is greatly needed.
The Godsend of rain, coming at the
beginning of what is normally South
Carolina's dryest month, has been oc
casioned by the apparent immovabil
ity of an area of low pressure which
has been hanging for several days
over the southwestern tip of Florida
and the Gulf coast, producing rain
throughout the Southeast.
Pelzer's rainfall for the 24 hour
period ending at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning amounted to more than two
inches; during the same period Green
ville received 1.76 inches, and other
upstate stations recorded heavy falls.
Spartanburg had, during the 24 hour
period ending at noon yesterday, the
heaviest fall since spring. ^
Columbia, which received only 1.14
inches of rain during October, had up
.until 8 o'clock last night received .77
inches for the two days of this month;
Orangeburg, for the 48 hour period
tending at 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon, had recorded a precipitation of
1.54 inches; Cheraw had more than an
inch during the 24 hour period ending
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and
for the same period Hlat'rs reported
J. 11 inches and Catawba in southern
York county, 1:58 inches.. Rain has
been falling intermittently in Sumter
since Friday night, and yesterday
morning there was a hard shower be
fore the steady, welcome winter
drizzle was resumed. Florence re
ceived, during the two days, more
than cm! inch of rain.
