Interest and cooperation is expressed on all sides. It is much better to have a definite sum on mloney wisely expended by competent people, who understand the conditions than to have individuals help specific cases and often in the helping do more harm than good. This particular year because of the failure of the cotton crop for three years anu general lack of employment, the need is very great, it is f> in ether pnrts of the state and house to house begging is not unusual. If with our charities organized, it is possible to say to a man, who really needs help, ''Go to Mr?. Mayfield, she will look into your case and help you, if. possible, to help yourself." 1 am sure you will agree that this is a better plan. Mrs. Mayfield told this story of one family she found in a near-by village in l'J19, as an example of contribution helping. "The mother was in bed with tuberculosis, being cured for by her daughter, aged < twelve, with an incipient case. She put them both in a tuberculosis camp with financial assistance from the Haptist church of Camden and money from Kershaw county. The King'3 Daughters of Columbia helped to pay expenses of the child. I^ater the mother was placed in the Stateo Park Camp, which is free, and the" little girl sent to the Church Home Orphanage, where she has been educated and today she is studying to be a trained nurse in the Fennell Hospital in Rock Hill, South Carolina. "The little boy of the family had been given by his mother to a family unworthy of caring for him and had been so intimidated by ill treatment that he ran away from me. This child was legally given to me, placed in a good family, his physical condition corrected, teeth put in order by a dentist, who gave his services and later placed in the ^Church Home Orphanage. Today he is a splendid physical specimen, educated and ready to work He is eighteen years old and a church member." Another phase of the work very interesting to Mrs. Mayfield is the Orthopedic work, started under the Red Cross. The state legislature of -South - Carolina- appropriates some money to take care of the crippled children of the state and Dr. William Boyd has given his services. They must be taken to the Scottish Right Hospital at Decatur, Georgia. Our part is to pay half of this and transportation and already more thah twenty-five children have been benefitted by this branch of our work. We place many tuberculosis patients in the State Park Camp^hich i? free and in the .Richland Park Camp, for which we must pay nominally. Some of the men and women interested in this work are: Mr. W. H. Harris,"Mrs. A. Dalton Kennedy, Mrs. Woods Robinson, Mr. A. S. Llewellyn, Miss Ernestine Bat<emau and Mrs. W. L; Wright; ? " Miss Christie Hey, the public health nurse #vith Mrs.- Margaret C. Mayfield personally investigate every case. 1 Heard Speeches * of Naval Parley - Among the interested listeners over the radio at the proceedings of the uuvul puiley now Wing held in London was Mrs. A. A. Shanks of this city. The program was scheduled for Tuesday 11 a. m.' British time, which meant six o'clock a. m. in South Carolina. Mrs. Shanks before coming to America was a native of Chester, England, and before marriage was Miss Emily Blaze. She lost four brothers in the World War and of course was interested-in the first opportunity to hear the foreign diplomats over the radio. King George, Premier Ramsey McDonald, the Italian and Japanese representatives, as well as Secretary Stimson, from the United States, could be heard distinctly over a nation-wide radio hook-up. Japanese Servant Deals Heavy Blow Jim Matswama, a full-blooded Japanese servant in the employ of Mr. John McGraw of this city, who is here to spend the winter, was arrested bv police officers Monday night .ana placed in the city prison on a charge of assault and battery. Mr. McGraw is said to have remonstrated with the Jap about wranglmg^with other servants when the irate Oriental dealt his employer a heavy blow across the forehead witn a silver platter, necessitating abbut six' stitches to close up the wounds. Matswama was released from the city prison on Tuesday, Mr. McGraw it is said atfreohlff not to prosecute him, provided heleave Camden never to return. Police officers put him aboard a northbound Seaboard train Tuesday afternoon. Miss Harriet Steedman spent several days last weak with her mother, Mrs. R. Y. Steedman, returning to Charleston Monday1. J. Ryan White Wins ! State Corn Contest i Sumter, Jan. 15.?Ryan White, of ~ Sumter county, who won the statewide five-acre corn contest, sponsored by Clemson college, has proved to his own satisfaction, Hnflfcjilso to his own financial betterment, that diversified farming pays?that is if progressive methods are used. . He is a firm believer in the old adng>? that one should not put all of his eggs in one basket Mr. White tried growing cotton as J his sole money crop and says he lost very heavily at it. He has tried growing five money crops and has made money at it. He has found that almost each season he has lost on one or two of the. crops, but he has made much more than enough off the others to offset the losses. This year for example, he says he lost money on his cotton and tobacco but made money on his hay, corn and oats. Last year be lost money on his cotton and corn but made, money on his tpbacco, oats and hay. "I found growing one money crop loo big a risk," said Mr. White. "When things went wrong with it a year's work was lost. It is very, very seldom the case that you will lose on all five crops, I believe." In winning the state-wide fiveacre corn contest, Mr. White grew 590.76 bushels on his five acres, or an average of 118.8 bushels per acre. He made a net profit of $66,J>9 pef acre or a total profit of $329.95 on the five acres after deducting all costs. The prize money of $300.00 brings his total profit for the five acres up to $629.95. Mr. White says that many people are already asking him how to grow corn. He gives them the methods which he followed on his five-acre plot as his answer. "The things I have found important in making a big corn crop," said Mr. White, "are preparing the land well before planting, having a soil that is filled with organic matter to help it hold moisture, use good seed shallow cultivation at the last working to prevent disturbing the feeding roots of the plants as much as possible and liberal applications of quick-ly available nitrogen to the plant by the time it is knee high to waist high. "I bedded out my land deep with a two-horse plow, broke the balk out with a middle burster, subsoiled with water furrow and planted in a deep water furrow. I plowed deep at first in tearing down that middle and layed by shallow with scrape, leaving corn on a slight bed.; "I planted my corn in five feet rows and the average width in the drill was around eight inches. The date of planting was April 5 and the variety was Douthit's prolific. "I applied 200 pounds of manure salts at time of planting and broadcast 10 loads of compost pe? acre. When the corn was about knee high I applied 350 pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyzing 4 per cent phosphorus, 14 pei* cent ammonia and 1 1-2^ per cent potash on one side of the rpw and the next day applied ,the same amount on the other side of the row. 'When the corn was about waist high I side-dressed it with 160 pounds of Chilean nitrate of'soda per acre." Mr. White is a firm believer in using good seed and says he never asks the price when he buys them but is careful to get the best seed available. c Club Women Outline Plans On Saturday morning, January 11, at 11 o'clock, there was a meeting of the executive officers and Departmental chairmen ' held in the club market building in Camden, for the purpose of discussing plans for club work to be done during the next few months > The work of the council was discussed in general and each departmentment was requested to select at least one piece of work to put before the club women. The education department selected as their aim to work up a circulating library. These books will be contributed and used throughout the county by the fa rift women. Agriculture department will push gardens, poultry and push plans for the annual short courses during the summer. For the health work, Home Nursing classes were suggested. Home beautification program hopes to have all foundation plantings made around hemes, ugly objects screened and lawns planted. <rWe hope that our farm women will endeavor to cooperate in all these plans," says Miss Ella Daine Hilton, the Publicity Chairman. Hospital Auxiliary to Meet The Camdei^ Hospital Auxiliary will meet next Monday afternoon, tSggjE4 ?'cl<*k i IIP Suggests Wednesday As "Iodine Day" As high grade products are produccd in South Carolina us are produced in any state in the Union, mid they also carry iodine and other minerals which should place them in demand everywhere, and especially by our owtv,people. There/ore, as Commissioner of Agriculture and one deeply interested in the agricultural ^)fare of our state, as well as the health of our people, I suggest Wednesday of each week as "Iodine Day" in South Carolina, suys J. W. Shealey. On \\ ednesday of each week, may 1 suggest and urge everyone in South Carolina to demand South Carolina giown products for their entire menu. In doing this we will he helping the : producer, and at the same time, from' a health standpoint, be helping our- i selves. It is my humble opinion that | after practicing "Iodine Day" for n while, our people will make every day "Iodine Day." If we Relieve in our South Carolina products and feel that they deserve consideration by those living beyond the borders of our state, we shpuld ourselves be interested in the agricultural welfare of South Carolina and our own health to the extent that we would demand South Carolina products first when making our purchase. This would also cooperate with the great Work of our South Carolina Natural Resources Commission in their campaign for better health, to get people to eat more South Carolina grown products rich in iodine. In doing this it will not only encourage the production in South Carolina but will encourage the ' establishment of canneries in our ^ state. "I suggest to the Natural Re-j sources Commission that Wednesday: of each week be adopted as 'Iodine j Day' for the consumption of South j ,C* rolina products. I further suggest to Governor j Richards, Chairman of the South Carolina Natural Resources Commission, that he appeal to the press of our State that they use their editorial columns to encourage the observance of Iodine Day' and the consumption of South Carolina grown products along ^he line of these suggestions, "By helping yourself you will helo others, so help yourself to South Carolina grown products." New Buildings For Blind to Open The new buildings of the Association of the Blind of South Carolina ^\ill be open to the public from Monday, January 20, through Saturday, January 25, between the hours of ten. in the morning and five in the afternoon.

I Night schools are to be held, to con- i duct "write-your-name" classes, and i all educated citizens of the county j ure asked to cooperate in this work, 1 and help those they know who can- < r.ot write. i This campaign is part of the state* t widp literacy drive, the aim of which is to decrease illiteracy in South | I Carolina us much as possible before i the 1080 census. A little later reg|U^r night schools are i to be conducted throughout the state, to tench | the "three R's", and to foster citU j zenship. Successful night schools have al- : ready been conducted in this county, ' ut the mill villages, where some ex- j cellent work has been dohe. It is I hoped that before the census j? taken i Kershaw county will have greatly lessened its percentage of illiteracy. ' In the 1020 census, the total illit- i eracy of Kershaw county was per cent, which was 2.1 per cent less than that of the state as a whole. At that time th^.c were 585 white il- * literates, forming a percentage of 6.2 per cent, and 2,720 negroes, or 28.2 per cent of the colored population. At the time of the 1020 census, in spite of leading the Unjpn in her percentage decrease, South Carolina ranked second from the bottom of tho j list in the national literacy rating, Louisiana having the highest percentage. It is now up to the citizens of this county to show what we can do in bringing South Carolina up this list.

Staley, i South .Carolina State Forester, will deliver an illustrated lecture. All j land owners and business people as i well as school children should avail j themselves of this unusual oppcyr- : tunity and Camden should fool very proud to have this occasion brought here. It should be remembered that timber was what made South Carolina's progress possible for a long ' time. Millions of acres in South Carolina and thousands of acres in Kershaw county should go baek in timber. All of our unprofitable farm and cut over lands should go into either timber or pastures. Already the timber or reforestation business is being Started by some of Kershaw county's best land owners. iSurely, we will come to see what these experienced agents, sent by our Government, have to tell us. If you own land in South Carolina you should come to this meeting.
