Chamber Commerce ]
I Will Help 4-H Boys
j I Purebred pigs are already being
j Bp)acc<l in the hands of energetic 44f t
j club boys of Kershaw county at a i
.^ splendid rate but with the decision <
the Chamber of Commerce to han- ]
B. the financing of 4-H boys who i
Keed help in getting started, it is be- <
neved that Kershaw county will soon <
(^ become one of the lending counties )
in the state in 4-H club work. 1
I The past crop failures and the sys- ]
.Item of all-cotton hAve not only left '
.. adult fanners in bad shape but :
[. also the boys who desirp to do their
share in putting our agriculture on i
Mt better basis and of developing them- i
' jelves as thousands of. other 4-H boys
doing, into more successful men.
' Nearly 50 por cent,'of the boys en- i
''. rolled so far in the pig cltibs need <
- help in purchasing purebred pigs. So
j';:iIthe action taken by the Chamber of
1 Bfommorce will mean a great deal to ,
[' the hoys and to the county in general.
[:l 1 want to make an earnest request
. Hto all club boys in the county that
they do their very best to make they*'
' club work a success; that they realI
Bi/.c that their club work is a business
proposition; that they follow closely
^ instructions on pig raising. Also it
^His hoped and requested that the grown
folks all over the county will take
j la big interest in club work and en:
I courage the boys. Successful club
work will mean more successful ag^Hriculture,
therefore, better conditions
' for all concerned?not only our farm
people but also business people,
j It is hoped that the goal of 600
l H club boys can be realized by another
Bvear. It can. be if everybody will
cooperate and I believe you people of
1 'H Kershaw county will cooperate.
{"' It is hoped that every club boy will
J I have a bank accouht this time next *i
I H year from money made from clubll
. I work. _ ,i
j It is hoped that our boys can bave
j I 100 pure-bred pigs and hogs in the
I county and state fairs this fall.
All of these hopes can be realized
! I if we will all pull togetheiL_And co}
operate. The Chamber of Commerce 1
I has led the way^" ' 1

May Road letting
To Employ 4,000
Columbia, S. May 7.?Analyzing
,he cost por mile of paved highway* 1
n South Carolina and calculating the 1
iffects of the imminent construction I
program on unemployment ' in the j
state, Ben, M. Sawyer, chief highway f
lommissioner, yesterday, in an ad- i
Iress before the Rotary club of Columbia,
estimated that more than <
1,000 people will secure direct em- '
ployment on the 27 projects for i
which bids will be received here May 1
20.
It was the first tima. employment i
figures had been definitely used in
connection with {he State's paving 1
program under the highway bond I
act. In addition to these directly '
employed, the construction work will
employ a large number indirectly,.Mr. I
Sawyer told his club members. 1
He estimates, basing his opinion on i
past experience and market conditions,
that the average C9?t of the i
standard concrete paving will be i
$2.3,000 per mile. From this figure,
he deduces that approximately $.3,468,000
will be spent for labor out of
the expenditure of $6,647,000'. The
labor item is larger thun that for
materials and plant. Any increase
over the estimate will represent, in
all probability, he finds, labof altogether.
Telling the Columbia business and
professional men what they like to
hear, Mr. Sawyer proceeded to inform
them that the present paved
system and the roads in the May letting
would connect CoUitobiaJ?y hard
surface highways with 23 county
seats and with 125 cities and towns
in South Carolina.
Mr. Sawyer's exposition of the first
contract~ietting under the state bond
act, was given with the aid of a large
highway map. Each member of the
club was furnished with a smaller
may with roads involved in the May
letting plainly marked. ,
The 23 county seats which will
have .hardsurfaced roads to Columbia
with projects of the first letting at
completion are: Aiken, Lexington,
Camden, St. Matthews, Orangeburg,
St. George, Charleston, Sumter, Manning,
Florence, Dillon, Ration, Bishopvllle,
Saluda, Greenwood, Abbeville,
Conway, Newberty, "Laurens, Greenville,
Spartanburg, Walhalla and
Pickens.
"Judging by past experience," Mr.
Sawyer said, "the average mile of
standard concrete paving constructed
in South Carolina will cost approximately
$23,000, including preparation
of road bed and furnishing
materials and all necessary labor.
This estimated cost is based on utilizing
the existing road beds with .
structures already in place and grading
very largely completed.
Country Residence Destroyed
Fire Thursday morning completely
destroyed the country residence belonging
to Mr. T. N. Waters, of the
Camden postoflfice force. The farm
home is located four and one-half
miles*east of Camden on the Tiller's
Ferry road and was Tpfmerly theproperty
of Mr. Luther M/ Hall. It
contained eight rooms and was occupied
by Mr. W. A. Waters, who operated
the farm. The house housed
all of the household goods of Mr. W.
A. Waters, who suffered a complete
loss as he carried no insurance whatever^
The building was insured for
something over $3,000, but at that Mr.
Waters will have a considerable loss.
No cause was given for the origin of
the fire.

Boll Weevil Specialist Coming.
Last week County Agent Green
was advised that his request for a
boll weevil specialist would be filled.
In. addition to help coming from
Clem8on College the Planters' Produce
and Storage Company of Florence
has agreed to send a specialist
to Kershaw county to work with Mr.
Green in trying to help our farmers
combat the wdevil.
The 1-1-1 or sweetened poison will
receive the most attention. Poison

three times. Do
not mix more poison in the
morning than will be used that day
as it becomes too strong if mixed and
left standing longer.

In liis rounds over the county lust
vcek, County Ajjent Green reports
hut lie found another instance of
ruit from the county's urgiculturul

farmer, sold $(i.r).00 worth of eggs
besides cream and milk and a calf.

Creamery For Kershaw County.
In an interview with County Agent
Green he declared that Kershaw
county now had an opportunity to get
either a creamery or a cheese factory
just as soon as the farmers of the
county got enough cows.
This should be especially significant
to those who would like to have a regular
monthly or weekly j^come (
through the year in addition to the
cotton crop.
All farmers who intend putting in
a few cows should start now to making
feed and pasturage.
