Peaches have to be moved in a hurry and he has shipped its high as ten carloads per day from his packing plant. "King Kalglat- Brand Peaches" will be served in many Northern and Eastern homes within the next few weeks. The Chronicle this week in its news columns tells of an unusual building program now going on in Camden. The expenditures will run well over seventy thousand dollars for new residences. This docs not entirely cover the building activity in and around Camden. Out at Springdale, Ernest Ij. Woodward, is expending an immense amount of money constructing a race course where ? steeplechase events may be held. Then too, Woodwurd's money is erecting a hangar ut the WoodwrLQ^pirport which will cost around ten Thousand dollars. Twenty thousand dollars or more is being spent on the Wateree toll bridge in replacing flooring and supports. While this work is slow, owing to \ the fuct that the bridge has to be kept open for traffic while the work ! is going on, passengers are already enjoying the greater comfort in ( crossing the bridge. I'his building , program fits in well now while farm operations are at a standstill on account of the rainy spell and fits in well for furnishing a payroll for many who would otherwise be unemployed. How to Keep From Growing Old Always drive fast out of alloys. Always race with locomotives to ( crossings. Engineers like it; it breaks the mononony of their jobs. Always pass the car ahead on curves or turns. Don't use your horn, it may unnerve the other fellow and cause him to turn out too far. Demand half the road?the middle half. Insist on your rights. Always speed; it shows people you are a man of pep, even if you are an amateur driver. Never stop, look or listen at railroad crossings. It consumes time. Drive confidently, just as though there -were eighteen million other cars in service. Always lock your bjyikes when skidding. It makes the-job more artistic. Always pass cars r?n hills; it shows more power, and you can turn out if you meet a car on top. In sloppy weather drive close to pedestrians! Dry cleaner* appreciate it. Never look around when you back up. There is never anything behind you.?Exchange. Should Double In Price It is so easy to get rich these days. There are so many kind persons who will tell you how to Invest your money?provided they get a fee for so doing. There came to one man in Columbia?probably to some dozens of men and women, too, for that matter a circular nicely printed, and in hig black type "A Stock That Should Double In Price." The circular then goes on to- tell why it should double in price. name will be sent you free, and witfi- j out obligation, and to facilitate this one of these modern up-to-date envelopes, needing no stamps, was enclosed with the circular, and all you have to do is to fill out the coupon on the bottom of the circular, put it in the envelope and the anxious friend at the other end of the line will pay. the postage. This circular i* one of probably tons of thousands that have Wen >ent out to persons in the I nited Sta.o> and Canada. It is the only one of its kind. Similar ones for the pn*t two or three years have been flooding the mails. All of them find ther center of proposed investment in Wall Street. The dragnet has been going out daily, and it has been catching many fish, generally of the smaller variety. Some of them ministers, probably lots of thorn Monographers and persons on small salaries. T his accounts in part for the billions of dollars that have been registered through W all Street tickers in the past few years. It is worse than a national lottery. It is just as seductive. It is mere wasting. Talk about Congressional investigations, and denying the use of the mails to this or that fraudulent scheme. There is no more profitable field in which to work than this wild cat mail circular business.?Columbia Record. Butte Daily Post?Doubtless the drunk who told ji judge that he was a "prospector" had in mind something - or other in quarts that would lead to j a lode. The < ow Bird 8hirks It* Duty m*vi II ,mif It i? aaid that the cow bird never builds its own nest. When it gets r?*4y to l?y iU eggs, it hunts up some nest that another bird has burn and Uya its eggs there along with the eggs of the nest owner. It never concerns itself about whether they will hatch, or whether the small birds 1 udll be taken care of. In due course of time the cow bird's egg hatch and the nest owner is required to feed them and care for them along with hdr own. Some *men are like the cow bird. They live in a community aiid enjoy jts opportunities, but never contribute anything to community bettejrofent. They take advantage of | everjr opportunity that those who! have lived and served before them have made possible, but as far as they are concerned they shirk every community responsibility. They re- i fuse to give to ths church or to any public or civic enterprise, they locfc. the door when the church Holitfito^ar the Red Cross solicitor or ?Hfte orphan's home solicitor come. They ' never give to the Salvation Army on I the Y. M? or Y. W. C. A. People of this sort are too 'atifoK! to be of any value to a community* I and no community was ever built or I made better by this class 'of people, | The people who make a town^ g#! the people who get back of com- ' munity projects and do what they can i to promote them. These are the , community builders and every thipg Walter bora has worthwhile is here because there was enough of thi*# type of people to bring it to pass.? Walterboro Press and Standard. Remarkable Figures. W, T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Telegraph, was making a speech last Friday in Atlanta, in which he ! argued for the issue of state bonds to j build paved roads. The state of Georgia seems to be getting stirred up over the road condition at last. Mr. 1 Anderson cited some figures, which provide startling proof of what muddy roads cost. Applying the Iowa state highway's ' method of computation to the 31ffc.'| 000 cars in Georgia, he estimated th%t paved highways would reduce totgl ' operating cost by $74,000,000 a yea*,' This is an average of about $235 petcar, which seems to us exaggerated. Still, if half or a third of that estimated saving could be made annually* it would richly justify getting th# paved highways as soon as.possible/H Car manufacturers and dealers will'I not be so pleased to learn that a dti* cline of 25,000 cars bought in North: Carolina in 1927 as compared with t previous years wak attributed by ttyo ' highway authorities to the longe^' 'endurance of cars, delaying necessity for replacement. Mr. Anderson, alitor- ' ing an average of $800 per car, fig-'1 ures that fully $20,000,000 was saved | North Carolinians by that fact. UriT doubtedly, parved roads saver"the rtWf' torist's time, his car .and his operating expenses by a very considerable margin.?Spartanburg Hera Id Things That Are Illegal Everybody knows that the states and cities of America have passe^ scores of odd or foolish laws that no one obeys or even knows about. Rut did you ever check up to see just exactly how weird some of them are 7 < The Portland (Ore.) News recent| ly presented a compilation of some of them. The list makes interesting reading?proving, as it does, how easy it is to get a law passed to remedy any imaginable kind of abuse. In Seattle, for instance, it is against the law to sprinkle salt on thg sidewalk" in the wintertime to melt the snow. Everybody does it, and nobody knows there's a law against it?but the law is there, just the same. In the old days, it seems, I the salt would run into the gutters, form a brine and injure horses' hoofs. Los Artgeles has a law forbidding street car conductors to shoot jack i rabbits from the car platforms. , In New York State it is illegal to truvel more than twenty miles to -church on Sunday. ? iIn Massachusetts it is against, the law to travel at all on Simday x"e*v' eept for charity or necessity^} R >v In Georgia it is illegal slap a qtaj\ oft the back. ' ' California statutes provide 4h*t if you have a canary you must keen it in a cage of a definite size. Portland has made it 'illegal fo tickle anyone under the chin with a feather duster. '/ Kansas has forbidd. n the spitting' of tobacco juice in public. , Head that list, roth t that it only' hits the high spots, and ask yourself if it would be a g od idea to get i together and rid ou- -tatute books of all such dizzy laws.

Dairy cows account for 11,00 of every $6.66 paid to farmers. Of avery $6,00 spent by the Amaricau family for food, $1.00 is for dairy 822ducts. : The dairy cow is the stealing point of diversification.

She will ctare the one-crop farming disease that has kept the South in rags and our fields white with cotton. R. E. Bill, of Tift county, Georgia, lets cows run his farm. He milks twenty-eight of them, sells the cream and feeds the skim milk to the hogs. His cream checks pay the labor cost* of his siy-mule farm. The cotton thai "He raises is clean surplus that he can convert jnto cash when he sees fit. r Oktibbeha county, Mississippi, farmers sold $1,182,213.73 worth of milk fcnd cream last year. And they raised as much as they did before they started milking cows. A lot of the milk is produced by tenant farmers On a share basis. The landowner '.furnishes the house, pasture, barns 'andi cowfc The tenant grows all the feed he can, furnishes the labor, milks 'fthd cares for the cows. Profits are divided on a 50-60 basis. . Many tenants, both black and white, have become landowners since starting, into dairy work, because al'Arfoit invariably an industrious: person, after milking 15 cows on the bwiis, raised 24 bales of cotton. ' HW for that year on his Cows atva cotton was enough to buy jand 'piy for 80 acres of land. v ; | There are 25,000 or mdre , dairy cowa In Ruthdrford county, Te^mes-' 1 "bofortr list; the ^6-ppei^ [tiVe Creamery which was dr$fhnized in 1914 by eighty-five farmers owning' a, total of 500 cows, mhde 1,882, 231 pounds of butter and 'distributed $727,857.77 among its patrons, who now number 1,850. " In 1927, when the Carnation Milk companjr decided to locate in lejinessee, Murfreesboro, the county seat of Rutherford county, was selected as (.the logical place for the plant. This 1 wns a wise decision because the .ows ^were there and the people had faith i m the dairy business. Last year, the condensery paid out about a million dollars for milk. Dairy development is making the greatest progress in those sections where town and country have realized the need for concerted effort. The South needs more dairy-minded business men who will take an acti\e part in promoting milk production. y;; Frightful Motor Toll The real force and significance of the fact that over 27,000 people lost their livfeh in the Uhitefd States last year: in motor accidents does not carry to the public, says the Spartanburg Journal.

AN OATH BETWEEN FRIENDS Ij South Carolina Editor Hay* it Rather , Umms Credibility of a Man ( r - *v'' r ^Would you believe that man on his oath?" said a spectator who waa looking on aa a witness of genus homo was about to take the stand in a celebrated case. "I would believe'him sooner if he were not on his oath" said another rube.who was standing by and look* ing on as the contest of wits was about to begin. The Horry Herald is moved by this incident to philosophise about the value of an oath, in court and out, especially where friendship is involved, and that paper suys: It was a foolish expression, made by one who did not appear to have much sense. That was what you might think when you first heard the expression. As you turned the thing over in your mind, however, you began to see that there was good common sense in what that rube said. "If that fella was not on his oath, he would not be expected to lie for somebody, ile is on his oath, bo he knows that somebody is expecting him to tell u few lies for them. Were he not sworn and posted along certain lines he would act free and easy. I would sooner believe him then and I would expect him to tell the truth more or less." This and other explanations were made in the conversation which followed, and it showed that there is very little faith placed by the common run of the people in the fact that man must hold up his hand und kiss the book before he goes ahead to testify in the trials of the court. The fact is that no honest mail ever needed an oath to make hini tell the truth. Honesty and high class integrity of men and women now or any other time is all that is needed to insure that the truth is told by them when they tell anything at all. An honest man is asked a question. If he cannot tell the truth he will say nothing and leave it to the questioner to draw his own conclusions. The truth is straight and solid. It has a solid foundation to stand on. Any man who has had much experience with human nature and learned anything at all from that experience will always be able to judge whether he should place an^| reliance in what he hears another * man aay- The truth when it ia told aa the truth and any investigation ia made at all, shows that it ia the truth and it bears out itself. There ia indeed a reason for saying that a man might be relieved when he was not on his oath rather than when he was sworn in some case. It all depends upon who it is that ia being sworn. A rascal will take the stand and tell what he thinks will serve his own ends or the ends of the man who is paying him his witness fees. If that spme fellow was out in the open and was asked the same questions, when he had no axe to grind for himself or others, he would tell an entirely different tale. ^ There are plenty of people to whom an oath means nothing. We are convinced of that the longer we live and see how things go. $3,042 From Sale of Eggs In writing of certain changes made by tobacco farmers in f Virginia county the United States Department of Agriculture recently declared thai the most profitable change made by jfarmers who increased their incomes I was the addition of;'poifltry to their [crop enterprises. One fnl^mer; who had only 50 hens in 1922 raised 300 pullet's in 1927 and had 100 hens to |carry through the winter. His livestock receipts in 1927, largely realized from the sale of eggs, amounted to $1,439. Another fanner whose receipts from livestock in 1922 were only $248, had receipts from the same source totaling $3,042 in 1927. This man's net earnings in 1927 were $2,102 compared with $1,280 in 1922. Wants?For Sale TAKEN UP?One large sow. Owner can have same by describing animal, proving ownership and paying expenses.
