Friday, July Siat, 1M1 Just how *eriou? a condition we are facing in this country, few people seem to realise, or if they do, they are saying very little about it. We have reference to the unemployment actuation, with the summer rapidly slipping nway, and with fall approaching. If six million persons are still unemployed when winter arrives, a far more serious situation is bound to ensue than the country went through with last winter, which was certainly bad enough. David R. Coker, far-seeing South Carolina leader, asserted nt the University of Virginia a few weeks ago that if tl^e unemployment problem is not solved by winter he looks for rioting and other serious disorder, and others have made the same prediction. President Hoover and his advisers and associates are undoubtedly doing aty, they can to alleviate conditions, though thus far with next to no result; and the situation will rapidly grow worse, with cold weather, if business conditions don't pick up.- Chester Reporter, * Cotton Wrapper The first bale of the 19941 crop from the cotton-producing state of Texas comes in an all-cotton wrapper. The estimated total of the year's crop is uround 113,000,000 or 14,000,000 bales. Suppose all these millions were in all-cotton wrapping and discard the imported jute? That would remove from the market, according to men who should be familiar with the subject, around hulf a million bales. To what extent an all-cotton wrapping will find its way to market in this year's crop remains to be seen. Can a .sufficient quantity of such wrapjx-r in practical shape be secured handily, and will all agencies concerned in the harvesting, ginning and purchasing of the new crop be in position to guarantee the farmer that he will not be taxed a premium of seven pounds of cotton for using cotton instead of jute wrapper? ?-Spartanburg Journal. Waiting No one ever got anywhere by merely waiting, except those who get tips ipi hotels and other eating places. The man who goes places and sees things and obtains things is a hustler, who gets up early and goes after them.?'Marion Star. As a hot weather relief measure, the pastor of the Methodist church, at Thomasvilie, Ga., has agreed to limit his Sunday sermons to 20 minute*. He even went so far as tu let a layman stand by with a watch and bell and ring him off if he talked over the limit. He gracefully sat down when ''rung oft" on fits ftrsf atte mpt. >Larion Farmers Comfortable Ma rion codntv has probably made the largest grain crop in all time. Whilo corn was damaged by dry weather there is still a wonderful crop in the field,- while a splendid oat. crop r.ac uotfalvgathered. Safety is on the aide of the farmer who Tills his barns with oats, corn and hay; he cannot be starred and is prepared to wage a long, hard battle against misfortune and adversity.?Marion Star.

Each of these boys received training for leadership in their local clubs. I think it was a fine opportunity for the boys who had the privilege of attending this meeting. I took the course with them and learned a great deal myself. They are trying to teach the boy3 good manners, politeness and respect for themselves and others. We heard Dr. Sikes, president of Clemson college, Dr. I-ong, director of Clemson - col lege _and Dr. Snyder, president of Wofford college, speak. I think it well worth anybody's time to listen to such men speak. Dr. Dan Lewis and Mr. Theo. Vaughn, the state club leaders are fine men and had a fine program arranged for the entire week. I think everyone there enjoyed being there. The college gave free board and lodging. We certainly nau-piemy tJ c?TT I think everybody, whp can do so should visit Clemson college and see what is being done there. They are always glad to have visitors. Every country boy should belong to -he 4-H club and attend every meeting possible and the parents should cooperate with the club leader in every way possible to make better citizens of our boys, says H. B. Gaskin. who took the boys from Kershaw county to the training school. Connecticut Tobacco Wrecked By Storm Hartford, Conn..
