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.

A Trip to Clemson
The week of* July 13-18 was devoted
to 4-H leadership at Clemson
College. , Four delegates from each
county were sent and Kershaw county
had its full quota. 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.
